Chapter 3: When gossip goes bad

Kagome couldn't peel her eyes away from the window. InuYasha sat down at a small table across from Rin. She started giggling and flirting with InuYasha right away. Rin was dragging InuYasha into her trap like leaves in the fall. Kagome tried her best to keep her feelings on the down low.

"Dude! Kagome lets go!" Sango said waving her over.

"Oh! Sorry Sango…I'm coming!" Kagome caught up with Sango and Miroku and walked into the café.

They walked in with some older students and found a table behind a huge potted plant. Kagome peered through the leaves to see InuYasha get drug in more. Along with that, Rin's infectious laugh filled the room and pierced into Kagome's heart.

"Lets order something!" Miroku said looking at a menu.

Sango sighed. "Always thinking about food…"

"Hey! I'm a guy and I'm hungry!"

"Dang it you guys…I can't hear a thing…" Kagome said to Sango and Miroku.

Sango started to think. "I have an idea! Waiter! Waiter!" Sango waved her hands around to get the attention of the nearby waiter.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The waiter asked.

"Yes…um…I need to show you something…" Sango said getting up and walking away.

A few minutes later Sango walked back over wearing the waiter's uniform. She pulled up her hair and changed her make-up so she wouldn't be recognized.

"Nice get-up you got there!" Miroku said pinching Sango's butt.

Sango smacked Miroku's head with her tray. "Shut up you."

"And why are you dressed like that?" Kagome asked curiously.

"You want to know what they're saying, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Well…if I'm dressed like this I can be a waitress, hear everything, and they'll never know it's me! I had a cousin who used to be a waitress and she told me that she heard so much gossip from the customers."

"That's a good idea…now lets hope it works!"

Sango nodded her head and walked over to InuYasha's a Rin's table.

"Um…miss! We would like to order now!" Rin said snobbish while snapping her fingers.

"Yes ma'am. What can I get you?" Sango said taking out her pen and paper.

"I would like a Oregon Chai Latte with extra honey on the side and not too much whip cream. And what would you like InuYasha?" Rin ordered.

"Um…I'm fine, thanks." InuYasha said not making any eye contact.

Rin giggled and drew her attention back to Sango. "Hehe…don't mind him. He's really quite shy. He'll have an iced cappuccino."

"Would that be all?" Sango asked again, doing her job.

"No, I think we're good for now." Rin said to Sango quite sharply.

Sango finished her writing and left. She went over to the back and started making the drinks. The other employees were running around with their orders and cleaning.

"Hey mack! Take this to table fifteen for me, will ya? Thanks!" A fairly large waiter said to Sango as she finished the drinks.

"Um…sure…" Sango said taking the tray of drinks and the other order to the tables. Delivered the first tray to the table requested and then went back to InuYasha's and Rin's table. "Here's your chai latte and your cappuccino. Enjoy!" Sango placed and left. She had to figure out how to hear some good gossip without making it obvious. Looking over by one of the trash cans Sango noticed a slight overflow of the cups and plates bin. She walked over to it and picked it up to bring it to the back. After taking a couple steps she realized that the bin was heavier than she thought. Sango wanted to spill something in front of them so she can be there while they talked.

As Sango was trying to plot her plan, she wasn't paying attention and ran into another waiter carrying some food. "HEY! WATCH OUT!" The other waiter cried out.

Sango was late to react and collided in front of InuYasha's and Rin's table. The tray of food went flying and the bin fell, only breaking a couple of plates. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I'll clean this up now!" Sango said acting apologetically. 'Perfect! This is better than what I planned.' She thought to herself.

"You should be more careful! I'll get the mop and bucket." The other waiter said getting up.

As Sango started cleaning up she noticed everyone staring at her. 'I hope they stop staring sometime soon.' She thought to herself. Sango looked up and saw InuYasha and Rin staring down as well.

Rin flipped her hair and took a sip of her drink. "So anyway…as I was saying…"

'This is it!' Sango thought to herself. She continued cleaning while keeping an ear wide open to listen.

"So…how do you like your new school so far?" Rin asked.

"It's ok I guess." InuYasha shrugged.

'C'mon! Lets get to the juicy stuff already!' Sango said to herself.

"I see that you had a lot of girls hanging around you earlier today. You must be very popular, are you not?" Rin said stirring her latte.

"I dunno…I guess." InuYasha said unenthused.

"You're quite shy I should say. I usually like my men 'rough' around the edges. But you're cute and that makes up a lot," Rin said now leaning over the table. "In a few weeks the first school dance will be held and everyone in school knows that I always get the first pick of which guy will take me. I would like you to take me to the dance, but now I have to wait for you to ask me. What do you say?"

InuYasha gave a long pause. "I'll think about it." He looked up and gave an inviting smirk to Rin.

"Good. I'll take your word on it. And if you don't come through…heh heh…trust me, you don't want to know."

"Why not?" InuYasha asked curiously.

"I like your curiosity. Well…lets just say you won't be heard from again." Rin chuckled.

"hmm…"

"I am the most popular girl in school and I get what I want," Rin leaned over more and started drawing circles on InuYasha's chest again. "And if I can't have what I want, which is you, there will be trouble." Rin winked and sat back down.

Sango finished her cleaning and headed towards the back with the bin. After setting it down, Sango ran into the bathroom to change her clothes and meet back up with Kagome and Miroku. Rin and InuYasha had no idea it was really Sango and not a normal waiter. As Sango was about to open the stall door of which she was in a person started walking in; it was Rin. Sango quickly hid back and acted like she was just another person using the restroom. Little did Sango know that Rin started mumbling and talking to herself.

"That b!tch of a waitress. Getting my new Versa chi blouse dirty!" She complained while cleaning the stain off. "Oh well…this year I'm gonna destroy Kagome so bad that she won't be able to walk across the stage at Graduation. Getting InuYasha away from Kagome is the first step and it's all down hill from there! Muahahahahaha!" Rin started laughing while walking out the door.

Sango walked out of the stall again as the bathroom door closed. She wanted to choke Rin so bad. Sango regained her composure and went back to the table. Sitting down next to Miroku, Sango couldn't believe what she saw.

"Good grief Miroku! What is that?!" Sango asked.

"It's called The Ultimate Hot Fudge Sundae! With vanilla ice-cream, hot fudge, brownie bits, Oreos, sprinkles, walnuts, caramel, pineapple, whip cream and of course a cherry on top!" Miroku said with a huge smile on his face.

"Yeah…I tried—" Kagome started to say until she felt a chill run up her spine. It was the same feeling as before, as if someone was watching. She turned around to see no one nearby enough to do anything like that.

"You ok Kagome?" Sango asked concerned.

"You want some of my ice-cream, Kag?" Miroku offered.

"Yeah, I'm ok…" Kagome said. "So, what did you find out Sango?"

"Yeah, what did you find out Sango? Well hello there…" A voice said coming out of nowhere.
