Chapter 2: Kagome's Training
Kagome sighed heavily as she walked through the halls to the Host Club, the craziness of yesterday left her tired and annoyed. She knew the right thing to do would be to pay them back and since she couldn't she knew she would have to do it some other way, but why did it have to be THIS way? Her life was weird enough without having to ENCOURAGE the gender confusion when people looked at her. She noticed that the teachers even thought she was a boy and she blamed it on the clothes and hair, but mainly the stupid clothes, living on a poor shrine was hard.
In Kagome's hands was a container of instant coffee that she picked up using the money she earned from her job down the street, a book store. She so hated her life, she was now wondering if she could get out of going to this hell hole all together but knew she couldn't leave her younger brother. Kagome reached the Host Club and opened the door. Inside she found that most of the members were around the room sitting at tables or on couches talking to women, eating small deserts and drinking coffee since it was morning break. Kagome sweatdropped and looked around at all the expensive stuff in the room, it was a miracle she didn't break more of this crap she thought. She looked around at the members and saw Inuyasha, she blinked seeing him talk to a very pretty girl that looked familiar.
Kagome tilted her head to the side in concentration and then it hit her, that girl looked like her before she had to cut her hair! Wow, the resemblance was uncanny if Kagome hadn't cut her hair they would look exactly alike. Inuyasha looked up and saw her, a goofy grin passed over his face and he waved her over. Kagome blushed and walked over to the two sitting cozy on the couch.
"Kagome, this is Kikyou Neguro, Miss Neguro this is Kagome Higurashi. Im taking him under my wing I guess you could say and turning him into host club material." Inuyasha said proudly. Kagome gave him a flat look and then the emotionless Kikyou a strained smile. Kagome caught sight of Kikyou's hand on Inuyasha's thigh and felt an overwhelming sense of possessiveness rush through her but quickly pushed away the feeling as a fluke.
"Inuyasha, what do you want me to do with this?" asked Kagome holding up the coffee. Inuyasha blinked and stared at it confused.
"Uh, Im not even sure what that is man." Inuyasha said frowning. Kagome looked at him like he was crazy and by now Miroku has made his way over to stand beside Kagome.
"It's coffee…" Instantly Inuyasha, Kikyou, and Miroku looked shocked, no pun intended. Inuyasha snatched the container and quickly read it.
"Amazing! Instant Coffee!" Inuyasha said holding it up like a masterpiece. Some of the other members looked over in surprise and instantly all of the host club were surrounding Inuyasha and staring at the wonder that is Instant Coffee. Kagome stood off to the side deeply disturbed.
"Wow, poor people don't have to time to grind their own beans! How terrible!" said Kouga in a dramatic voice. Kagome gave a half hearted glare as the group inspected the container and even opened it. Shippo ran over and tugged on Kagome's sleeve.
"Can you teach us how to make it!" Shippo asked with puppy dog eyes. Kagome blushed and thought in shock 'This kid is 18!'
Inuyasha looked over and pointed at Kagome. "YOU! You shall make this coffee and we shall all try it! The King has spoken!" Kagome looked at him like he was on crack but just went ahead and began to make it. Once she was done, having had to make more because a certain Vice President named Miroku knocked a pot over by accident, she gave it to them and they all drank it.
"If they don't like it I'm not going to be responsible." Kagome grumbled scratching at her messy hair. Kagome turned, thinking she was going to see Inuyasha but he had apparently left her side she looked around and found him holding a girl's chin intimately.
The girl blushed as he spoke huskily. "Would you like me to feed it to you by mouth?"
"N-No thank you!" the girl stuttered. Kagome glared angrily and huffed. She was about to go get a cup of coffee herself when suddenly Shippo screamed.
"Wait! Arent we suppose to start the mission!" Shippo yelled above the talk of the crowd. Kagome looked at Inuyasha who's eyes flashed and he got a feral look about him.
"That's right! We must initiate Operation Kagome Transformation!" Inuyasha said wickedly. Suddenly Kagome was dragged into another room and it was now just her and the Host Club members. Kagome looked around at them nervously and Inuyasha stepped up close to her again. He reached out and delicately removed her glasses and looked at them. "hmmm…Do you have contacts?" asked Inuyasha.
"Yeah, but I lost them so I'm using my grandpa's old pair." Kagome said nonchalantly. Inuyasha and the other froze and Inuyasha threw the glasses somewhere and snapped his fingers.
"Sesshoumaru! Get your contacts! Kouga! Bankotsu! Get your hair equipment! Miroku! Call the tailor!" Inuyasha barked orders and the four dashed away. Shippo raised his hand eagerly.
"What can I do Sire!" Shippo squeaked.
"Shippo! Eat your cake!" Shippo suddenly had a piece of cake and began to eat it like and animal.
"THAT I can do!" Shippo said between a mouthful of cake.
For the next hour Kagome was put through complete and utter torture. She had her hair trimmed, layered and washed. She had a tailor measure and make a male school uniform for her. She had to convince them that not all contacts fit everyone and they bought her new contacts. They pushed her into a make-shift dressing room and now she was getting all dressed and ready for the results of their "mission"
Outside the dressing room Inuyasha had the club surrounding a table. "Now we are going to investigate into the miracle of instant Ramen! Everyone make a different flavor and we shall test this concoction that the poor have thought up!"
The curtain swished as Kagome stepped out in the sharp suit like uniform. Her hair wasn't messy anymore, now it was layered, silky looking and framed a pretty girl face. Her large blue eyes blinked at the group that stared at her with their jaws touching the floor. Kagome blushed at their scrutiny and looked down at her feet.
"Damn! You should have warned us about your face!" Bankotsu said with a smirk.
"Pretty Kagome!" Shippo giggled while eating cake.
Inuyasha had a blush on his face and looked around at the others to see their reactions and frowned when he saw Miroku's smirk. "I think he is gonna bring in a lot more customers." Said Miroku. "Now…I think we should give him some hints that'll help him impress the ladies."
"Alright." Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and took her back into the main lounge room and sat her at a table. The others went back to their feminine company leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone. "Ok…take a drink of that water." Inuyasha said setting a glass of water on the table. Kagome eyed it suspiciously but picked it up, took a sip and then set it down with a clang. Inuyasha winced and glared at her. "NO no! When you put down the drink you need to cushion it with you pinky like this…" Inuyasha picked up the glass and held it with the pinky under the glass. "See? Don't I look classier?" Kagome sweatdropped as he posed with the glass.
"Pinky…got it." Kagome said flatly.
"Oh and also if things get awkward or hard then try looking up from below." Inuyasha demonstrated by putting his elbow on the table and leaning his chin on the palm of his hand and giving Kagome a charming smile. Kagome felt her insides flutter a little but didn't let it show on her face. "See it has been proven to have an affect on women, hopefully Im not having too much of an effect on you…" Inuyasha said with a smirk. Kagome stared at him for a minute.
"Not really…" Inuyasha scowled and turned away with his arms crossed.
"Keh! Whatever. I think you're ready for your first customers…" Inuyasha stood and sulked away angrily. Kagome blinked a few times in confusion. He wanted me to be attracted to him? Does he know I'm not a boy? Hmm maybe he's gay somehow I don't think he's bright enough to figure out I'm not a guy. Kagome thought flatly.
Before Kagome knew it she had her first requests from three girls that came in, so they had a group sit. "Higurashi-san, you look so much different than when I saw you around school!" said one girl a slight blush on her face. Kagome blinked and smiled at her kindly.
"Takahashi-sama did a good job I guess." Kagome said and then there was a silence and Kagome began to panic a little inside, but she remembered Inuyasha's suggestion and did the looking up from below technique. She held the girl's glass and looked up at her from below. "Can I refill your drink?" Kagome asked and gave the girl a sweet smile. Yuki's heart fluttered and she blushed crimson.
"Thank you!" Yuki giggled. The other two began to ask Kagome to refill theirs too not wanting to feel left out on the "boy's" attention. Miroku watched from off to the side and Inuyasha stood dumbfounded next to him.
"He's a natural!" Inuyasha said in irritation. Miroku chuckled at his friends anger.
