Hey people! It's the long awaited chapter 3! Yay! I have been really busy with school and junk and stuff so ya! Forgive me! Gomen! I think that's the right word… but meh! I'm also gone be switching between Inuyasha and the girl cuz parts are like Kagome's point of view but not from her point of view. Like how she sees things without saying "I blah blah blah."

Kagome strolled into Sigomi Convenience. She took a deep breath. "Another day, another dollar." She murmured to herself, and climbed over the counter to get into the back room.

Standing there was her boss, Mr. Sigomi, standing next to a pretty, young girl in a yellow dress.(By the way its really Inuyasha) She also saw her best friend, Michiyo, speaking to someone on the company phone. It was probably her boyfriend, Akimoto. Kagome sighed, and turned to face her boss.

"Mr. Sigomi," Kagome began. "Who's this?" Kagome smiled at the girl, and turned a curious face to her boss.

"Your new co-worker!" Mr. Sigomi was a very unpleasant man, with a wretched smile. It gave Kagome shivers. "The best part is you get to train her!" He smiled his awful smile, and went to yell at Michiyo for tying up the phone line. She gave him a hard time, and said it was business associate. He almost fired her, but Kagome saved her friend.

Both Michiyo and Kagome returned to the front of the shop. Kagome saw the girl sitting in a chair. She looked quite scared. Kagome decided to cheer her up. She bent down in front of Inuyasha.

"Hi!" Kagome said brightly. "What's your name?"

"Asuka" Inuyasha lied.

"How old are you?" She asked him.

"Nineteen." Inuyasha replied more confidently.

"Wow, that's older than me. By the way, I really like your dress. My mom has one just like it." Kagome said, as the girl stood up. Kagome stood up too. "I guess I should show you how things work around here."

After Inuyasha was taught how to ring things in, how to treat customers, and so on, Kagome decided to take a break. She bought three bottles of Ramune Strawberry Soda (note this is a real kind of soda in Japan). She handed one to Inuyasha and one to Michiyo.

Inuyasha tried to take off the cap with his teeth, but failed miserably. "Here." Kagome took the bottle from him and opened it on the side of the table. He thanked her and took a sip.

"So Michiyo, how's things with Akimoto?" Kagome said, trying to make light conversation.

"We broke up." She said, and her voice wavered when she said broke.

"Oh." Kagome didn't take this seriously; she knew they would make up in a day or so.

"He's such a jerk sometimes though; he always puts other things before me." Michiyo said as tears began to sting her eyes. Everyone nodded, and they went back to sipping their soda quietly.

Halfway through his soda, Inuyasha dropped the bottle. Kagome jumped as it hit the floor with a crash.

"Sorry!" He cried and began to pick up some of the pieces, when all of a sudden he yelped in pain. Inuyasha had gotten a piece of glass in his finger. He watched as the blood blossomed out of his finger. He hissed, and went on picking up the glass, but Kagome stopped him.

"You're bleeding," She said. "Here let me go get a bandage, and then we'll fix you up." She smiled at him and went behind the counter. Michiyo took his finger and examined it. Kagome returned with a first aid kit. She took out a pair of tweezers.

"Here, give me your hand." She ordered. Inuyasha did so. Kagome leaned the pair of tweezers towards Inuyasha's finger, and touched very lightly on the spot with her tweezers.

"OW!" Inuyasha jumped away from Kagome.

"Come back!" She cried. "We have to get that shard out of there."

"No, I'm not letting touch my finger!" He yelled. He didn't notice he was standing in the puddle of soda on the ground. Kagome grabbed his hand and tried to pick out the piece of glass, but Inuyasha resisted, and tried to pull away.

"Sit!" Kagome yelled out of habit. Inuyasha crashed to the floor.

"Ow." He said as he tried to stand up.

"Omigosh! Asuka! Are you ok?" Kagome asked with a look of concern on her face. Michiyo stood behind her friend, looking slightly amused.

"Yeah, I just slipped on…"Inuyasha paused, and looked around for something to blame his fall on. "The soda on the floor." He finished, happy with himself for being so clever.

"Oh, well be careful!" Kagome scolded. She took his hand and began to get the chunk out of his finger. After much argument, and a lot of coaxing, the shard was out, and Kagome held it up in triumph. She observed how the light reflected off of it, and how the lights in the store seemed to dance when she moved it.

"Hey, Asuka! Guess what? In a couple of days, it's the new moon! I used to have a friend who hated the new moon." Kagome said suddenly.

"Really?" Inuyasha replied. "Do you think about this friend often?"

"No, Asuka I don't." Kagome said angrily. "I really liked my friend, you know. I had the biggest crush. But he decided that he didn't need me anymore. So, I decided to forget him." She smiled at Inuyasha and turned to a customer who had walked in.

Inuyasha felt sick. He had made Kagome feel really bad, and it was all because of the jewel. Then what Kagome had said a few moments later sunk in. In two or three days, the new moon would rise and he would transform. He looked as dusk settled, and he bit his lip. How would he explain his black hair? Kagome would know for sure. His thoughts were interrupted by the television, which announced that the new moon was in three days at sundown which was at 7:30.

Inuyasha panicked and looked at the clock. It read 7:05. Damn, he thought. Only three more days, and I'll be human for the night. Inuyasha hated being human, he always felt so weak, and his sense could never work as well as they did when he was only half human. His shift was over at the same time as Kagome's, which 7:30 was. He sighed and joined Kagome and Michiyo at the counter.

"What'cha doing?" He asked.

"Reading." They both mumbled. Inuyasha saw that they had selected a trashy from the rack in the back of the store, and was reading about some people called Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth.(btw I don't support them!) They were very intrigued, and Inuyasha decided to leave them alone. He whistled a tune, and twiddled his thumbs as he waited for the clock to strike 7:30. Like clockwork, (don't mind the pun) Kagome sprung up from her chair at exactly 7:30, and so did Michiyo.

"Michiyo, do you need a ride home?" Kagome asked.

"Sure, that would be great!" Michiyo cried.

"Asuka, do you need a ride?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha bit his lip. Kagome's mother said he could stay with her, but how could he explain that he lived in the same house as Kagome?

"Ummm…No, I'm fine." Inuyasha replied.
