Thanks you to everyone who reviewed my fanfic. If you liked it, please tell
others! I'd like to hear what you hear.
I wasn't sure what to do this story on, actually, I'm still not sure where
I got the idea...but oh well. Originally, I wasn't sure what genre of story
this was going to turn out as.
Here's a small mini-series! Called,
'The ADVENTURES of RYU!'
And this is what I was deciding to do with my first story. (Which would be this very one.)
Me: hmm...lovey-dovey stuff is all good...in moderation, but it's so much more exciting to read funny stuff, or stories that actually have a story line, with stuff happening. I know! My story will be all of that! Very little fluff stuff! Wahahaha! I'm so smart! It'll be the best story ever!
So, I started to write, and I worked night and day, toiling away at my pitiful story, and I was so proud after three chapters or so.
Me: I'll wanna be the best, there ever was, to beat all the rest, yeah that's my cause! Oh man! My story is hard core! V-sign
And I still don't know why that pokémon theme song was stuck in my head, but oh well. I still worked my ass off to finish it.
Kat: Hey, is this your story?
Me: Yeah...
Kat: cool! So what's it about?
Me: Kagome and Inuyasha. He's this gang leader dude, and she's just this girl trying to find a job.
Kat: How come Inuyasha is the cool one and Kagome's struggling to survive?
Me: Inuyasha's struggling to survive too.
Kat: but he's Inuyasha!
Me: So?
Kat: he doesn't struggle! My god! He's all cool!
Me: sweatdrops then why did you ask?
Kat: Because, hey...why's he a gang leader? I can picture him in a western scene, with the big 'El Diablo' hat, drinkin a whiskey. Why isn't he like that?
Me: because....IT'S MY STORY!
Kat: fine...but I still say he should keep the hat, it would make him soooooo kyooooot! Sparkles
Me: sweatdrops
Kat: Ooooh! I'm going to go and make my own story! runs off to write her story and he's going to have a big hat, and a bottle of whiskey, and he's going to have his cute ears, and his little cape...
Well, that's all for now! On with the story!
DISCLAIMER: maybe if I concentrate hard enough, I WILL own Inuyasha and Kagome... concentrates falls off chair ow...nope...guess not. Then they still belong to Rumiko Takahashi.

Two hours of job hunting later, found Kagome and Sango outside a very big, very posh looking building.
"Oh God Sango! I can't do this!" Kagome said starting to panic. Sango gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"Sure you can! You've been doing it everyday for a month remember?"
Kagome looked down at the blouse and skirt she had changed into. 'You're right! The worst he can say is no!" She said, regaining the fire in her eyes. Sango grinned. "That's the spirit. And if it doesn't work, we'll go get that latté I promised you." She handed Kagome her purse and pushed her out the car. Kagome straightened up and took a deep breath before heading in the building.
"Good luck Kag!" Sango called after her and threw in her Matrix CD. She specifically waited until Kagome was out of the car to listen to it. She was attracting many strange looks through the open windows of her car, considering she was singing quite loudly to Rage.
Kagome walked up to the front desk and cleared her throat. The secretary looked up and smiled cheerfully at her.
"Hi There! You have an appointment here today?" Kagome remembered the phone call Sango had made on her behalf earlier that afternoon. "Uh...yes..." She waited and the secretary looked at her expectedly, finally speaking up again.
"And who's your appointment with?"
Kagome mentally hit herself. How could you be so dumb Higurashi? The buildings so freakin' huge, there's bound to be more than one important person to have an appointment with.
"Um, Shaoran san please..." She replied, trying to regain her composure, and tame the blush on her cheeks. The secretary nodded, still smiling as if it happened all the time. She paused to answer a few phone calls, and type into her computer, before turning back to Kagome.
"Yes, you can take the elevator to the top floor. I'd suggest you hurry..." the secretary leaned towards Kagome as it to tell her a secret. Kagome leaned towards her so she could hear. "He gets very angry when he's made to wait." Kagome nodded and hurried to the elevator, flinging her purse around her shoulder.
When she made it to the top floor, Kagome walked out onto the floor and looked around. It was amazing. Almost everything was black marble with drapes of green silk, cut into amazing designs, lined the walls. She turned around with her mouth open, gazing at the ceiling.
"Wow..."
She walked towards a vase that was covered in dark jewels. She extended her hand when a voice cut through her thoughts.
"Excuse me!" Kagome withdrew her hand and looked up. A girl with black hair tied up in two pigtails was sitting behind a black marble desk. She looked very stern and agitated at Kagome. She blushed and bowed.
"Sorry, it was so pretty..." she knew she sounded like a ditz the moment the words left her mouth.
"Well don't touch it! That vase is very precious to Shaoran san, and it's worth more than you'll make in a lifetime!" She snapped at Kagome.
"Sorry, um...I'm here to see Shaoran sama." She approached the desk and the girl started to type something on the computer. She looked up impatiently after she finished. "Well...do you have a resume?"
Kagome bowed again and fumbled with her purse to get her resume out. Finally, she passed it to the girl who took it out of the brown envelope and scooted over to a fax machine on her chair. While she was preoccupied, Kagome noticed that the second secretary had a picture of a very good- looking guy on her desk.
"Is that her boyfriend?" she thought, very much bored. She looked over at the girl who was just finishing sending the fax.
"Uh...is Shaoran sama here today?" Kagome asked wondering why she would need to send her resume in a fax. The girl scooted over and handed her back the brown envelope. "Of course! Why would you be here if he wasn't?"
"Uh...then why send it through fax?"
The girl raised an eyebrow at Kagome like she had just grown another head.
"He's in a meeting! Obviously! I can't just go on in! No one can!"
Kagome nodded and walked over to a chair that she assumed she could wait in.
'And she's looking for a job here?' The secretary thought her herself, shaking her head in disbelief.
Kagome sat down, looking around the waiting room. Besides the secretary, there were many others hurrying back and forth, all of them ignoring her. There were no books or magazines to preoccupy herself with. Which might not be too bad, she thought. The last thing she wanted was for Shaoran San to come out to see her reading Teen People or something. Talk about bad first impressions. So instead, she preoccupied herself with admiring the room again.
Suddenly, a small tune picked up, which Kagome recognized as Every Heart by BoA, one of her favorite J-rockers. She also recognized it as her cell phone. She had started to attract some very annoyed looks, especially from the bossy secretary. She quickly answered it and turned away from everyone.
"Hello?"
"Kagome chan? It's Sango."
"Sango! What're you doing?"
"Kag, I'm really sorry, but something's come up. I gotta go."
Kagome's heart stopped. The only thing keeping her from leaving was the fact that she'd have to face Sango immediately after. (kinda OOC, but I'm slightly desperate)
"What? Go where? Why? What's wrong?"
"Kohaku just called. Says he's at the airport and needs a ride. Sounds like he's in trouble too."
Kagome sighed. "Can't someone else go get him?"
"No can do Kag. Mom doesn't live here anymore and dad hasn't talked to him since the 'incident' and none of his friends have their license."
"Well, why not?" Kagome asked desperately.
"Kagome, they're only 11..."
"Oh...uh...right..." Sango's brother Kohaku was a great kid that got mixed up with the wrong crowd. Last year, he was busted for finding crack in his sock drawer. Even though her pleaded innocent, his father had refused to talk to him because he was so shamed.
"I dunno when I'll be back. You might need to get a cab..."
"But – Sango -!"
"Sorry Kag. I gotta go. See ya at the apartment." She hung up and Kagome sighed.
"Dammit!" she swore angrily. Now she had no one to comfort her when this interview went terribly wrong, as she knew it would.
"Damn what?" Kagome spun around, cell phone still in her hand. A man who looked strangely familiar was standing in front of her. He had light brown hair that swept in front of his stern eye. He was tall and wore a black suit that he made look casual just by wearing it.
Kagome looked over and saw the secretary staring at him, still typing on the keyboard, although she wasn't watching what she was writing. Suddenly it clicked. It had to be her boyfriend, she had a picture of him on her desk.
"Oh nothing! My friend just left me, so now I have to get a taxi when I'm done." She said waving it away airily. He nodded, not looking like he really cared in the first place. "In that case Miss Higurashi..." He said, pulling out her resume. Her eyes grew wide.
"How'd you know my name? Where'd you get that?" She looked from the resume to the secretary who was still staring at the man by Kagome. Did she send it to her boyfriend by accident?
"It's called a fax." He said, rubbing his temples. "Hold on." He added, turning to the girl behind the desk.
"Ms. Rei!" The girl jumped and stood up so straight she looked like she had a rod strapped to her back. "Yes Li?"
"Ms. Rei, could you get me a glass of water and an aspirin."
"Of course Li! You know, you can call me Mei-Lin." She said smiling as she hurried to get his water.
"I prefer not." He said dryly.
"Oh Li! You don't have to be so formal!" she giggled. Kagome raised an eyebrow. What the hell was going on? "And I'd prefer if you called me Mr. Shaoran." He said turning away and beckoning Kagome after him.
"S-S-Shaoran sama?" Kagome choked. She could feel her face heating up. How could she be so dumb! Mr. Shaoran led her into his office that Kagome couldn't admire because she was staring at the floor.
She sat in a large chair across from the young businessman. He leaned back and threw her resume onto the desk in a way that reminded Kagome of a movie scene.
"Now Ms. Higurashi, I have gone through your resume..."
"What?! So quickly?" Kagome blurted out, surprised. He raised an eyebrow. "What did you think I was doing while you were waiting? I don't normally make people wait; but then again, I don't normally meet with people unless I've had a chance to see their resume and thoroughly gone through it. You were a special case however." He said, seeing the look on Kagome's face.
"You are a friend of Sango's who convinced me to meet with you. I told her I would try to find you a job, but I'm not promising anything. I'm a businessman Miss Higurashi. Not your local job hunter you find on the Internet. Do you understand?"
Kagome nodded, as she constantly told herself that it was just another man telling her no to a job that she didn't want anyway. He paused as his secretary, Mei-Lin came in with his water, smirking at Kagome who ignored her.
"Now I've checked your resume and found that you have no experience in anything I would consider valuable in one of my employees. So understand that I should just stand up and shake your hand and see you out the door, but because I owe Sango a favor, I will try and see if your expertise you have listed in your resume should be helpful to anyone else."
Kagome blushed. "Oh no! That's fine! I don't want anyone finding a job for me. I'm trying to be independent, but it's getting me nowhere fast. But I can work on it! Really, thank you for your help though Shaoran sama."
He peered at her, his expression never changing the entire time. "That attitude might be valuable somewhere. You just need to find where. Well then, Good luck Miss. Higurashi...you'll need it..."
He shook her hand and led her to the door. She walked out of the office, ignoring Ms. Rei and the other secretary on the first floor, who, unlike Shaoran sama's secretary, seemed concerned.
She walked out on the street and realized Sango wasn't there. "Oh right...I have to get a taxi..." she thought solemnly. She felt terrible after that. That guy, Li Shaoran, seemed to make her feel stupid and useless just by looking at her.
"Well, I'm not gonna get a taxi on this street..." she thought, looking down the side road. She walked out onto a larger, main street.
"I should've taken the day off..." she thought as she walked down the street.
Inuyasha growled and looked around the busy street.
"Damn! Why'd I have to come when it was so crowded?" he looked around at the things for sale, and hurried over towards the eggs. Picking up a dozen, he walked towards the cashier to pay for them.
"500¥ please sir."
The smiling woman in a white apron said politely, putting the eggs in a bad, Inuyasha paused as he took out his wallet.
"500¥? It was 400¥ last week!" she looked up and cleared her throat. "Uh...inflation you know. We've had to raise prices, to cover the currency."
"But why the fuck do I have to cover the currency? What's my taxes' payin' for? You getting' your breasts enlarged?" he said angrily and quite loudly. The girl gasped and raised her arms to cover her chest.
"Please sir, calm down!"
"What? You want me to calm down? I'll tell you what, you get the cost of my food down, and then I'll calm down!" Inuyasha didn't bother to lower his voice; actually it seemed to get louder.
"Is there a problem here?" he looked over and noticed a man with a sharp suit and a thin mustache who was standing with his arms behind his back. Inuyasha then realized that he had made some commotion, telling by the amount of people who had stopped their shopping and was staring at him, but frankly, he didn't give a rats ass.
"You bet there's a problem!"
He stepped towards the man, away from the cashier, who kept her arms raised to cover her chest.
"Then perhaps you'd like to discuss it in my office?" Inuyasha then noticed that on the man's breast pocket was a small tag that said MANAGER in bold letters. Well that explains the suit and 'higher mortality' act, her thought to himself.
"No, I'm perfectly fine right here. But I wanna know why I'm payin' 500¥ for twelve cheap ass eggs!"
The manager cleared his throat and raised his eyebrow before replying. "It's all a matter of currency my boy. It's costing us more money to get the eggs, therefore, if we don't raise prices, we'll go bankrupt."
"I've heard this already!"
"Then why did you ask?"
Inuyasha's eyes flashed. This man was making fun of him, he could see the sides of his mouth twitching to conceal a smile, but his eyebrows were curved down ever so slightly, so that it he did smile, it would have turned into a sneer.
"You may go bankrupt, but what about people like me, who can't get enough money to but 500¥ eggs? It's eventually gonna catch up on us too baka!" He started to walk towards the manager again when suddenly a large figure stood in front of him, blocking his way.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha swore to himself, stopping and looking up. A man wearing a plaid shirt and ripped jeans scowled down at him. "Tatewaki San's store sells everything at lowest prices. He is the most generous, honest businessman around and if you don't like it, you can leave."
Apparently, several shoppers who sided with this manager had stepped forward to act like personal bodyguards in case Inuyasha planned to attack.
"And what it I don't?"
"Then we shall make you, won't we?" another large man said, stepping towards him. Inuyasha spread his feet apart and cracked his knuckles, a grin playing on his lips.
"I'd like to see you try..."
well, that's all for now. Sorry for the long update...please review! I want to know that SOME people read my story.
Kat: as if anyone would read YOUR story...

"You may go bankrupt, but what about people like me, who can't get enough money to but 500¥ eggs? It's eventually gonna catch up on us too baka!" He started to walk towards the manager again when suddenly a large figure stood in front of him, blocking his way.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha swore to himself, stopping and looking up. A man wearing a plaid shirt and ripped jeans scowled down at him. "Tatewaki San's store sells everything at lowest prices. He is the most generous, honest businessman around and if you don't like it, you can leave."
Apparently, several shoppers who sided with this manager had stepped forward to act like personal bodyguards in case Inuyasha planned to attack.
"And what it I don't?"
"Then we shall make you, won't we?" another large man said, stepping towards him. Inuyasha spread his feet apart and cracked his knuckles, a grin playing on his lips.
"I'd like to see you try..."
