Ch.2

Hopeless

"I'm home !….. Kagome?"

Souta came in from the door way …."Kagome?" she'd usually be making

dinner by now he walked towards the kitchen everything was quite not a

sound …he walked towards the living room no one there ….

"kagome are you home ?"

-----

"Souta" kagome whispered …."I can't let him find out that I got fired I cant

let him find out !" kagome got up from her bed and went to the bathroom

She splashed cool water on her face and calmed down "ok ….now I'm

ready…Souta!" she walked towards the stairs "souta I'm up here !"

Souta stood at the stairs "oh kagome is something the matter?"

Kagome got scared what if he found out did someone tell him something ?!

"no just tired that's all" "if you say so kagome" he shrugged and made his

way to the back door where the shrine was. As the only ones living there

cleaning the shrine was up to souta

'Ever since grandpa……' no the memory was too painful for souta

"better not think about it …"

-----

Meanwhile kagome was getting dinner ready "how am I going to get

through this, oh mom if you were with us now…….."

A tear slid across Kagome's cheek and fell onto her hand she wiped her tear

away "no use to think like that now I have to take care of us, and that's

exactly what I'm going to do !" with new determination she finished making

dinner and called souta acting as if nothing was wrong.

"Shippo I'm home ………ARGH!!!!!

SHIPPO WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

The house was a mess ! The cushions that belong on the sofa were all over

the floor. There was dirt and all kinds of paper everywhere!

This always happened every time inuyasha found someone willing to

baby-sit shippo. No one really managed to keep shippo in check!

"shippo!" inuyasha went into shippos bedroom and oh the sight to see!

An older lady in her mid 50's was sitting on a chair tied up in a jump rope

and at least 2 rolls of toilet paper!!! And an apple in her mouth !

"shippo !!! Where are you!!!!" he looked around no sound "shippo ! Come

out !" "stop shouting I'm coming" inuyasha looked at the bathroom door

flush…….squeak there he stood a puny little guy with an attitude

"why did you do this?…..again!?" "I just don't like her ! Cant I come over

to you after school?….please inuyasha I promise to be good! Really I will"

Shippo did his best puppy eyes ever the whole glossy I'm-about-to-cry-look

"shippo we've been through this remember last time?…I let you stay in the

kitchen, you let a whole bottle of hot sauce get into that soup!"

"And I said I was sorry !"

"and I gave you another chance and by accident you let the waitress trip

over your backpack!" shippo didn't want to accept it and stomped off

towards the old lady and untied her.

He took out the apple from her mouth and …"ahhhh!!! Inuyasha her teeth

came out!!!!!!" shocked he ran behind inuyasha

"Hahahahahah shippo its ok" inuyasha walked over to the lady and helped

her up (he wasn't about to pick up her teeth!!! ewww!!) as soon as she got

her teeth back in her mouth "you 2 brats !!! I deserve major overpay for

this!!! I'll never baby-sit this scoundrel again!!!!" inuyasha led her to the

door and was about to just give her a kick on her way out but he kept

himself in check…….barely.

"hey inuyasha …are you mad at me?" inuyasha looked at him and stared…"what do you think?" "umm I think u didn't like her so you couldn't

care less" shippo said smartly "then why'd you ask ….?"

"dunno" he grinned and walked towards the kitchen to eat.

------

"Souta ! Get up you'll be late for school!"

Kagome was downstairs making breakfast she was going to pretend that

everything was normal and hey maybe it will be!

"Souta I'll be late if you don't hurry up !"

"I'm coming geez Kagome your in a good mood !" he sat down at the table

yawn "Kagome what happened ?" "nothing can't I be in a good mood for

once" she said in a teasing way as she sat on the other side of the table "not

if you'r Kagome you can't" he said smugly "uh-huh " she put up an eye brow

and took a bite of her toast "hey do want to spend the night at Kohaku's

tonight?" Kagome asked "Sure why not …but why ?" Souta asked

suspiciously "umm no reason I just thought you might have some fun"

"ok sure ill walk home with him then"

" good I'll pick you up tomorrow around 5 pm ok?"

"sure, sounds good to me" he was worried she was acting different …

They sat in silence and finished their breakfast

"lets go Souta can't afford to be late"

"right"

Kagome gabbed her purse, car keys and left.

-----

"o.k. today I'm going to find a job !"

Determined to do just that she searched !

11:00 am "no we don't need any more people working here"

2:00 pm "sorry no openings"

4: 00 pm "no.."

8:00 pm "let me guess your answer is no" Kagome said

"I cant do this this is never gonna work"

Kagome was beginning to lose hope

"Sango!!" kagome shouted across the street

"hey kagome ! What are you doing here!"

"don't ask…..sigh I'm finding a job well trying to that is….but I guess its

hopeless"

"don't say that!" Sango said "you'll get a job I'm sure of it, come on ill buy

us dinner" and off they went down the street to have some late dinner

"I think I found some work for you ..but lets eat first and then ill tell you "
