Last Chapter:

"Thanks Mom!" shouted Kagome as she ran upstairs, pulling Okibi with her. "This is my room," she said opening a door. "Now let's go to sleep. I don't want to be late on my first day at work!" she said. Okibi nodded and Kagome pulled out some blankets and such and laid them out on the floor. "You can pick if you want to sleep on the bed or the floor."

"I'll sleep on the floor," Okibi said happily as she dove under the blankets and closed her eyes, instantly falling asleep. Kagome smiled and turned out the light, climbing into her own bed and falling asleep almost as fast as Okibi had.

Stealing Four Souls and a Few Hearts

Chapter 10: Joyous Jobs

Kagome's eyelids slowly fluttered open, adjusting to the bright light filtering through the blinds. She finally cleared her vision and saw a face right in front of her.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!" yelled Kagome, backing into a wall and closing her eyes. She heard familiar laughing and cracked one eye open to see Okibi on the floor, laughing hard. She then opened both eyes and sighed with relief.

"Don't do that, Okibi, you scared me to death!!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it!!" she managed in between laughs. "But anyway, it's 7:30 and we gotta be at the camp at 8:00, remember?" she said, finally regaining her composure.

Kagome's eyes widened. Had she really slept in that long!? She jumped out of bed and ran into the walk-in closet, coming out just as fast, dressed in new clothes. Okibi blinked her eyes stupidly. Wow, she was a fast dresser. She followed Kagome who had raced down the stairs to the kitchen. Kagome grabbed 4 cooked waffles that her mother had thoughtfully left out and threw 2 of them to Okibi who caught them skillfully. Kagome stuck one in her mouth and grabbed her brother who sitting at the table and dragged him out the front door, followed by Okibi, to a honking car. Inuyasha was sitting in the front, angrily honking the horn.

"Sorry!! So sorry!!" she shouted as she neared the car.

"It's ok, just hurry up, everyone else is already in the car," said Inuyasha. Sure enough, Miroku was in the back behind Inuyasha with Rin in his lap. Sango was to his right with Kohaku in her lap, much to her protest. Shippo was to her right, but he got out so Okibi could sit there. Okibi got in and sat Shippo in her lap. Kagome took shotgun with Souta in her lap.

"Are we all buckled up?" Inuyasha asked, turning around. He got nods as a response before he sped off, hoping to get there early to make a good impression. He easily went 20 miles over the speed limit, but luckily no cops were nearby. He made it in record time, 20 minutes. They were 10 minutes early and Okibi and Kagome had eaten their waffles in the car. The all climbed out of the car and headed through the campsite to a registration table. They recognized the boy from Myouga's house sitting there. What was his name again....oh yeah...Kouga.

Kouga looked up as the group of 9 approached (AN: Yes, 9 people can fit in a car, trust me, I've tried) and smirked.

"Hi, my name is Kouga, how may I help you today?" he recited as they stopped at the table.

Kagome spoke up, "Yeah, I'm Kagome and we're here to register the 4 little kids. Myouga said we could because we got jobs here," she explained.

"Kagome, huh? Well, Kagome," he said, standing up and walking over to her, "You're gonna be my woman," he said as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

Kagome tried to push him away, "Uh...no, thanks, I'm not really interested."

Kouga's grip tightened. "You're my woman now, no need to be shy."

"She said she wasn't interested, baka." Inuyasha growled.

"You don't have a claim to her so she's free for the taking."

"Excuse you!?" Kagome shouted, effectively pushing him away and backing up. "I am no one's possession, especially not yours!!" she all but screamed in his ears. Inuyasha smirked. Kouga frowned. 'Okay, Kagome. I'll let you go for now, but you will be my woman," he thought.

"Fine, just give me the kids' names so I can register them," he said, sitting back down. Okibi decided to break the tension and just give him the names so they could leave.

"This one here's Souta," she pushing him forward.

Kouga frowned, "I need first and last."

"Oh yeah, ok. This is Higurashi Souta," she said referring to the one directly in front of the table. Kouga wrote down his name and looked up, waiting for her to continue.

"This is Taiji Kohaku," she said, pointing to Sango's younger brother. Kouga wrote down his name and looked up again. "Koji Rin," she said picking up Sesshomaru's adopted daughter. Kouga wrote and looked up one more time.

"And I'm Kitsune Shippo!" said Shippo as he jumped up on the table. Kouga made a disgusted face and wrote down the kitsune's name. When he finished, he handed the name badges that he had written on to the four kids who put the stickers on their shirts. Rin put hers on upside-down and laughed. Miroku, who had been day-dreaming (AN: I don't wanna know what he was day-dreaming about!) looked to see why Rin was laughing. He noticed her nametag and peeled it off and put in on the right way. She stopped laughing and put it on upside-down again, giving Miroku a glare. He sighed and backed up, getting amusing glances from Kagome and Sango.

"Myouga's office is that way," Kouga said, gaining their attention and pointing off to the right. "I'm sure he'll want to see you," he finished. The group headed in the direction they were pointed in.

"What if Naraku tries to attack while we're here?" queried Sango. His question went unanswered but jogged Inuyasha's memory.

"Hey Okibi, when we first saw you, you said Naraku would attack when I'm weak, right? What did you mean by that?"

"Well Kikyou told Naraku your secret, remember? Well I have a tendency to find out Naraku's plans. It's been a habit since he betrayed me."

Inuyasha looked shocked. "Y-you mean...y-you kn-know a-about..." he trailed off, not able to finish his sentence. Okibi looked at him and nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone unless you want me to," she said with a smile. The group looked at the two in confusion, not knowing what they were conversing about...except Miroku, who already knew Inuyasha's secret.

They reached Myouga's office and knocked on the door. They heard a muffled "come in" and opened the door. Stepping inside, they found it was very comfortable for a cabin in the woods. There was a desk in the middle of the room with a portable TV/VCR/DVD player in a corner. Behind the desk was a large black leather chair where Myouga was sitting, sipping a cup of Starbuck's coffee. There was an air conditioning unit behind the desk as well, to keep it from getting too hot. There were two small chairs sitting across from Myouga on the other side of the desk. There was also a door to their right, which was where his bedroom and bathroom was. Miroku was the first to speak up.

"Kouga told us you would probably want to see us," he said. Myouga finally looked up from his coffee.

"Ah yes. I want to explain your jobs. Are they enrolled yet?" he questioned, referring to Shippo, Rin, Kohaku, and Souta.

"Yep," said Kagome with a smile.

"Okay, good. Toutousai, take them over to the cafeteria," he said, looking over at an old man they hadn't noticed when they were walking in. The man had big wide eyes that looked like they would pop right out of his skull. His gray hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. He had a gray pointy mustache and a wavy goatee. He was carrying what looked to be a large wooden hammer with a long, thin handle. He was a wearing a dark green and black striped kimono. He got up and bowed before leaving, ushering the kids out of the so-called cabin and left the teens alone with Myouga.

"Ok, first off...who's your friend?" he asked, noticing Okibi.

"Oi! I'm Okibi, sorry to disturb you, I'm just here because I love little kids and camping!" she said, bowing. He nodded, obviously pleased with her response and turned to the other 4 teens while Okibi straightened.

"Okay, as I was saying, I'm going to give you each a group of kids that you must watch and take care of. One of the employees just called in, they got in a small car crash because a car with too many people was speeding," he said, oblivious to the group's flinch. "So you're each going to have 3 or 4 more kids in your group, unless I can find someone else to do the job." At this, Okibi's eyes widened in joy and she shot up her hand and started chanting, "I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!"

Myouga continued, ignoring Okibi. "So first, you're going to go get a list of all the registered kids from Kouga, then bring it back here so I can place the kids in groups. I'll then give each of you a schedule that you must adhere to," he said, becoming agitated at Okibi's insistent chanting in the background. When he finished she dropped to the floor and started bowing repeatedly, now chanting, "Please, oh please, oh please, oh please!"

He sighed and stared down at the pleading teen. "If I let you have a group, will you stop that annoying chanting?" Her eyes became even wider with joy.

"Yes, thank you so much!" she said standing up and brushing herself off. He then examined her.

"But I don't know if it would be a good idea with those weapons," he said uneasily.

"Oh, I swear I won't take them out in front of the kids, I know they can get scared real easy. It's just that I never take off my weapons except to sleep or shower, I know it sounds weird, but these weapons mean a lot to me," she explained with sincerity.

Myouga caved, "All right, go and get the list. I don't think it takes 5 people to walk there and back." She smiled brightly and headed out the door, leaving the four other teens. She poked her head back in a moment later and said, "I'll be back before you can say, supercalifragilistic expialidocious." and left again for the registration table.

Upon arriving, she saw Kouga packing up the nametags, pencils and things in a box. He looked up when he heard her.

"What do you want?" he asked rather harshly.

"I need the list of registered kids," explained Okibi, still smiling. He scoffed.

"Is Myouga splitting them into groups now?"

"Yep, so can I have the list please?" she asked as politely as she could with his harsh tone. He thrust the list out to her and she snatched it away. "Thanks," she said before turning around. She turned back around to face Kouga when she heard his voice.

"I might as well go with you, I have to return these supplies anyway," he said walking past her. She turned around and followed him. They walked in silence before Okibi interrupted (AN: Don't how to interrupt silence, but oh well! ).

"So, what's your name?"

He looked over at her in disgust. She was starting to get really annoying. "Kouga," he said simply, before facing forward again.

"I'm Okibi!" she said cheerfully. She loved to make new friends, even if she didn't have that many. In fact the only friends she had ever had were the boy she refused to kill for Naraku and Inuyasha and his friends.

He didn't say anything, which made Okibi uneasy. "So, what are some of your hobbies?" she asked, hoping he would talk. He ignored her question and this grated her nerves. "I'm just trying to be friendly, you could at least say something!" she said, walking ahead of him to the cabin not far off. He watched her angry form as she opened the door surprisingly calm.

When she walked in with a smile on her face, her emotions in check, she noticed Sango and Kagome now occupied the seats in front of Myouga's desk immersed in conversation. Miroku and Inuyasha were sitting side by side on the floor, leaning against a wall but both were silent. Myouga was in his chair, sipping his coffee.

"I'm back!" she said rather loudly, startling everyone in the room. She heard Inuyasha mutter, "Supercalifragilistic expialidocious" under his breath and she smirked. She walked up to Myouga's desk and set the list on it.

"Good, now this will take a while, so get comfortable and try to be quiet, please," he said while pulling out an expensive looking pen and started marking on the list. As she was sitting down against the opposite wall from Inuyasha's and Miroku's, the door opened and Kouga walked in, setting the box on Myouga's desk and turning to leave. Before he could reach the door, Myouga spoke up.

"You'll need to stay, you're going to have a group of kids as well," he said, not looking up from his paper. Kouga turned around and glared at the man and looked around the room to find a place to sit. He saw Inuyasha glaring and growling at him so glared and growled back. He need to find someplace away from that mutt-face. He looked over at Kagome and decided against sitting near her too. She was glaring at him too. He looked over at Okibi, who was smiling at him. He was confused. Wasn't she just mad at him not 2 minutes ago? He shrugged and sat down against the same wall but a couple feet away from her.

Okibi stared at him when he sat down and after a while, cleared her throat to get his attention. When he looked at her, she smiled.

"Sorry about earlier," she said quietly, "I just tend to get nervous when it gets too quiet," she explained.

Kouga was silent. He didn't know what to say to this annoying excuse for a demon. Then he noticed Okibi started fidgeting, which was more annoying than her talking.

"Running and fighting," he said. Okibi looked confusedly at him. "You asked what I like to do, I like to run and fight," he explained. She mentally slapped herself.

"Are you a fast runner?" she asked, smirking. She bet she was faster than him.

"Yeah," he said, giving a smirk equal to hers.

"Bet you're not faster than me," she said, raising her chin.

Kouga scoffed. Who did she think she was? "Bet I am," he said, lifting his chin as well. Okibi was about to retort when they were interrupted.

"Okay, I'm going to pass each of you a piece of paper with your group of kids and schedule," said Myouga, standing up with a number of papers in his hand. He began passing out the papers. When Okibi got hers, she examined it. Eat, scavenger hunt, swim, nature hike, eat, head for home. She then looked below the schedule to the list of kids. She had 6 kids. She looked at all the names. Kaboku, Amai, Reiu, Shippo, Kijo, Karuson...Hey, she got Shippo! At least she would know one kid from the group. She studied the names, most had a meaning. Kaboku meant beautiful tree. 'Beautiful tree? What kinda name is that?' She shrugged and continued her translations. Amai meant sweet, Reiu meant chilly rain, Kijo meant demoness, and Karuson meant boy. She idly wondered what these kids would be like when she was interrupted yet again.

"The kids are in the cafeteria. They're all wearing name stickers, so just find the ones on your list and explain to them that you will be their guide and to ask you if they have any questions. Be friendly and interact with them. Now, go on, there's a schedule to adhere to," he said, ushering them out the door. They silently made their way to the cafeteria, all nervous. Would their kids be sweet and adorable? Or would they be evil brats?
