"What are you looking at?" asked Sango.
Whew. I let out a sigh of relief. "They're here," I whispered to her.
"Who?" she asked, looking over my shoulder.
"TBG."
"Oh. So you want to go serve them?" I shook my head 'no' quickly. Sango laughed. "Okay. Don't get so worked up, Kagome. I'll do it." She took a waitress pad and headed over to their table. I remained in the corner watching them.
"Hi, my name is Sango and I'll be your waitress today. May I take your order?"
All the TBG members looked up to the pretty, young girl who just approached them. Instantly Miroku made the two girls on his lap move. He looked up at Sango, giving her his best smile. "I don't know what I want for dinner, but you want to be my dessert?"
The other five TBG members laughed while Sango rolled her eyes. "That's so cute. Must have took you all day to think up that one huh?"
"Ooh," shouted Rei. "This one has a mouth."
Miroku just smiled. "Feisty. I like it."
Then he rubbed Sango's butt and tried to pull her closer. She moved away, glaring. "Hey don't touch me!"
"Come on babe. Go out with me. I'll show you a good time."
"Hell no!" Sango shouted back in his face.
Then Inuyasha stood up. "Don't talk to my friend like that," he said in a low threatening voice. "Or else I'll have you fired." Inuyasha's glare made Sango move back a little bit but she answered back anyways. "You can't fire me! I quit!"
She handed Hakkaku her apron and pad. Then she slapped Miroku and stomped over to me in the dark corner. "Stupid, lousy jerks," she whispered to me.
"I know," I whispered back, patting her shoulder. Suddenly, I caught Inuyasha staring at me. I didn't know what to say or do so I just left.
Inuyasha stared at the girl who was talking to Sango. 'She looks like Kagome,' he thought. 'But it can't be.'
"Hey," said Miroku. "What are you looking at?"
"Her," said Inuyasha, pointing in Sango's and Kagome's direction.
"You like my waitress too?" asked Miroku, pouting.
"No," said Inuyasha, shaking his head. "Her friend. Doesn't she look like Kagome?"
Miroku glanced at the person Inuyasha was pointing to and watched her walk away. "No..." said Miroku slowly. "That girl's hair is much longer and Kagome has a nicer body. That chick looks like a stick."
Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow at Miroku. "How do you know Kagome has a nice body?"
Miroku's eyes widened. "I don't know… just guessing. Rei's calling me. I'll go see what he wants," Miroku said quickly and ran over to Rei right away. Inuyasha began to chase the girl who just left.
I heard some footsteps following behind me. I quickly turned a corner and entered my room.
Inuyasha ran after her as fast as he could. He saw the girl turn a corner and he continued chasing her. He saw a figure up ahead and he grabbed her by the shoulder. When the girl turned around, she had a surprised expression on her face.
"What do you want?"
Inuyasha looked at the strange girl. She looked nothing like Kagome. "Wrong person." The girl walked way. Inuyasha sighed. 'Maybe it's because I miss Kagome so much that I'm beginning to see her.' He began to walk back to the lobby, disappointedly.
From my hotel room, I was watching Inuyasha with the little hole in the door. I saw him pat a girl and then walk away with him head bowed down. I went over and sat down on my bed. I let out a sigh. Inuyasha doesn't miss me. He has too many girls with him already. He probably forgot who I am by now.
Tears fell down my face and I didn't even realize it. I quickly wiped them away. I wanted to tell myself that I hate Inuyasha but I couldn't because then I'd just be lying. There was only one thing left for me to do.
I stood in front of my bathroom mirror. I can't be with Inuyasha as Kagome, but I wanted to be by his side to watch over him. I thought about it for a while and remembered they were recruiting new members for TBG. I looked at myself. Hmm…if my hair is short and put into a cap, I wear sunglasses more, darken my skin with make-up, and lower my voice…I can pass for a guy.
So I did it. Within an hour, I had transformed myself into a guy. I checked myself over. As a guy, I didn't look too bad. I smoothed out my new short hair and tucked it into a cap. Guys wear earrings too so I didn't have to worry about my earring holes. I wore a couple of T-shirts under my flannel and 2 pairs of boxers under my baggy jeans so I would fill out more and wouldn't look so scrawny. I checked my make-up, making sure I was well-covered. I put my sunglasses on. Perfect, I thought. Now all I have to do is have to pass the test to join the gang.
Inuyasha walked down the aisle looking at the five new candidates. He nodded his head as he studied them. "Pretty good," he said to them. "Alright," he clapped his hands for attention. "All of you know how it's done. Ginta and Hakkaku will jump each of you in. If you're still standing after five minutes, then welcome to TBG."
Only two of the five guys lasted when Ginta and Hakkaku were done beating them up. "Okay," said Miroku. The two newest members to join are—
"Wait!" shouted a voice, interrupting Miroku. Everyone looked over to see who it was.
Inuyasha stared at the young boy who was walking towards them. 'What the hell? Damn! This kid looks like Kagome!' he thought. 'I must be losing it. How come I keep seeing her today?' Miroku looked at the new boy curiously. "Yes? What do you want little man?"
I looked at Miroku. Gosh he developed an attitude, I thought. I took a deep breath. This is it. "I want to join TBG."
A guy I recognized as Hojo burst out laughing. He placed his hand on top of my head, "You? How old are you boy? 15? 16? And how tall are you now? 5 feet?"
I moved his hand for him. "No. I'm 19 and I'm not 5 feet, I'm 5 feet 3." That made all the other members laugh, except Inuyasha. I looked at him curiously and realized he was checking me out. Oh no, I thought. Please don't recognize me.
Inuyasha held up his hand for the others to stop laughing. "Hey, if he wants a chance, then we'll give it to him." Then he turned to face me. I felt my heart thumping loud and prayed he couldn't hear it. He placed his hand on my shoulder. Dang, he smells good, I thought as I tried to suppress a smile.
"Look kid," said Inuyasha to me. "You have to be jumped in to join. These 2 guys (pointing to Ginta and Hakkaku) will beat the crap out of you for 5 minutes. If you're still standing, you're in."
I nodded my head. I knew I had to last because I'm doing it all for Inuyasha. I stood there as Ginta and Hakkaku began to hit me. Hakkaku threw the first punch and it gave me instant pain. He's even stronger than my step dad, I thought. Ginta kicked me and I was knocked to the ground but I kept pulling myself up.
Inuyasha looked at the helpless boy who was struggling to stand up. He doesn't understand why but when he looks at the boy, images of Kagome replaced him. Right now in his eyes, it looked like it was Kagome being beaten up by Ginta and Hakkaku. He couldn't help it. "Stay down!" he yelled to the boy. Everyone stared at Inuyasha. Both Ginta and Hakkaku stopped hitting the boy because they were surprised Inuyasha was being nice out of nowhere.
I heard Inuyasha yelling for me to stay down. My ears listened but my legs wouldn't. I refused to stay down. No matter how many times they hit me or how hard, I managed to get up. Finally five minutes was over and I was still standing. "Am I in?" I asked in a weak voice. I saw Inuyasha staring at me with a surprised expression. "Yes, you're in." he said patting my shoulder. I smiled and fainted into his arms.
Inuyasha held the boy, surprised. He realized the boy had fainted. Usually he would have let go if someone fainted on him, but this time he held on tight.
The other five TBG members and the two new recruits looked at Inuyasha with queer eyes. "Uh, Kyo," said Miroku, as he patted Inuyasha on the shoulder.
"What?" asked Inuyasha, as he continued holding the boy.
"What should we do about the new recruits?"
"Give them instructions and show them to their rooms. We'll have a meeting tomorrow."
"Okay."
They all left but once in a while, they all would glance back looking at Inuyasha, who was carrying the boy in the other direction.
Author's Note: surprise! It was Sango tapping Kagome's shoulder. Darn…those five minutes must have hurt…ouch. Hmm…if I'm not mistaken, I think I got 14 reviews for chapter 10…YAY! I'm very happy anyway review!
