Is this story actually good, because I don't want to keep writing a story that isn't any good, ya know?

"So, where do you want to go first?" Sango glanced up in her mirror to Kagome who had taken the back seat.

"I don't know, how bout something to eat, then we can go to the mall," Kagome said while staring out the window watching the buildings and other cars pass by.

"Okay, lets gets a burger or something up at WacDonalds," Miroku decided to step into the conversation.

"Sounds great." "Sure." Were the replies heard from the girls.

They walked into the WacDonalds building and went straight for the counter, to which stood behind the one and only, Hojo. "Hey Kagome, are you here to eat?"

'Duh' she thought 'Can he get anymore clueless?' "Yes, I'm here to eat with Sango and Miroku," she eyed the uniformed Hojo, with that big goofy grin on his face.

"So, can I take your order?" Hojo gave the customary WacDonald's greeting. "Umm, yeah, I'll have a double cheeseburger, a small fry, and a small coke," Kagome gave her usual order. "That'll be 4.50." After Kagome had received her receipt, Miroku and Sango went to take their orders.

Three minutes later

"Here's your order, have a nice day and come back again," the ever, cheerful Hojo droned to the three already eating teenagers.

Soon they finished and headed back to Sango's car. Kagome always envied Sango for her car, it was 2015 silver Mustang and it was gorgeous, with its black, leather seats and CD player. She could never even hope to have something so nice. 'The most I'll be able to get is probably a hunk of junk, but if I could get something nice…' daydreamed Kagome.

"Hey why don't we check that place out?" Miroku pointed to an eerie, gray building with the words Tokyo's Animal Control and Adoption labeling it. There weren't many plants located around the building, only a couple at the front and the windows were tinted, so it was hard to see inside.

"Gee, well that place looks inviting," Sango mumbled, while looking at the odd building. "Kagome?"

"Yes?"

"You don't have a pet, yet, do you?" Sango questioned, "I mean, I have Kirara and Miroku has Shippo, why don't you have one?"

"Because I don't believe in that sort of stuff, demons have feelings also," she explained, "Besides, would you like to be kept as some demon's pet, I don't think you do," stated Kagome. Miroku and Sango both looked back at the girl who had her head turned, nose up and eyes closed.

"Well, think of it this way, you could give a demon a better life, than to let to let one be taken by someone who would abuse them," retorted Miroku. "Yeah, you know Shippo and Kirara, they aren't unhappy are they?" Sango tried even further to persuade the stubborn girl. "Well…." Pondered the confused Kagome, 'What they say is true, and I could get one for like protection when I'm at home alone, and Moms been asking me to get one, so…' Finally decided, "Well, I guess, it couldn't hurt, right?"

They had already been parked in the building's parking lot, so all that was left to was to go in get a pet and go get some supplies for it. 'Yeah, sure that's all I have to do and I won't mistreat him or her,' too soon they had made it up to the front desk.

While waiting for someone to assist them, Kagome started to look at her surroundings. The floor was pure white with little gray specks in throughout the white; the walls were white also with the fluorescent lights above giving the walls and the floor an extra shine. There were some black chairs and a small, black sofa against the walls on the right side and a door that supposedly led to the kennels on the right.

"Hello, welcome to Tokyo's Animal Control and Adoption center, how can I be of service," asked a small woman, that just walked out of the door from the right, she had dark brown hair, that was pulled into a tight bun, and she had dark brown eyes that were framed by thin, squared shaped glasses that rested on the bridge of her nose, and wore, what looked like a nurse uniform, with the name tag that spelled out 'Hi! My name is Ume'.

"Yes, my friend here would like to adopt a pet, could you let us look around in your kennels?" Sango spoke politely to the desk secretary. "Sure, this way," the desk secretary, who they assumed was called Ume, led them through the door on the right and down a hallway, similar to the waiting room in style and took a left through another door that read, 'Adoption Center'.

"These are all the pets that are up for adoption, just push this button when you are ready to choose or are in need of assistance," Ume retreated out the door and disappeared around the corner.

'Well here it goes…' thought Kagome as she started to walk down the narrow hall with cages on both sides.
