Chapter 2: Lets do lunch
Kagome walked down the street in a daze. She still couldn't get him out of her head. She entered the little corner store where she worked and nodded at the owner, Mr. Sakagami, who jolted up from his nap behind the counter as she entered. She walked behind the counter and dropped her bag in her locker, and pulled out her uniform/ apron. She walked to the front of the store and flicked the lights on and flipped the sign from closed to open. She sighed and sat down behind the counter. I wish I could see him again.
InuYasha walked into the restaurant just as they were opening the doors. He walked up to the counter. "Hi could I please speak to Kaede?" "Um sure." The lady behind the counter said and turned and walked into the back. Kaede came to the counter. "InuYasha, it's a little early to begin drinking away your sorrows isn't it?" "Kaede that isn't what I came for, not this time." InuYasha explained. "I need your help Kaede, I need to find her, I can't get her out of my head, please understand." "Ah the girl from last night? Yes of course, that would be Kagome Higurashi." "Thank you Kaede" InuYasha turned and ran out of the restaurant. He ran up to the nearest pay phone and dropped a quarter in it. He dialed and number quickly and put the ringing receiver to his ear.
It felt like hours before a tired Miroku picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Miroku? Hi it's InuYasha." "Hey InuYasha, What can I do for you this early in the morning?" Miroku laughed. "I need a favor." InuYasha replied. "I need you to find someone for me and I know you have all the connections." "Sure, no problem." Miroku said walking over to his computer. "Who's the girl?" "Laugh all you want Miroku, surprisingly it is a girl this time." "Oh really? Congrats InuYasha, what's her name? I'll find her for you." "Kagome Higurashi." Miroku dropped the phone. "Miroku? Miroku what was that? Hello?" "I'm sorry InuYasha, I dropped the phone." "Well hurry, I'm in a rush." "She works at the corner store on Third. And InuYasha, be careful with her, she's my cousin."
The store was particularly busy. It was Saturday and kids were running through the candy aisle with handfuls of quarters. Their parents stopped at the front of the store to talk to Mr. Sakagami. Somehow the almost constant ringing of the cash register and the chatter of the people in the store was reassuring to Kagome. It was so much better than being alone in her silent apartment. It was about 11:30 in the morning and Kagome was getting anxious for her lunch break. There was a bus stop in front of the store and the bus always came at 11:30 on the nose, bringing a crowd of people into the store. 11:40 the mad rush was gone. Five more minutes until lunch! Kagome thought, tapping her fingers on the counter. 11:43 the door opened again, a young man entered, he looked down as he walked as if he was afraid to make eye contact with anyone. Kagome's heart started beating wildly in her chest. He walked up to the counter and looked up at her. InuYasha was lost in Kagome's eyes. They stared at each other for a moment, a long, silent moment, before anyone spoke.
"Hi, you're Kagome, right?" InuYasha asked, his confidence slowly fading. What do I say to her? He thought. "Ya, I'm Kagome, have we met before?" Kagome replied. What I'm I doing? That was such a stupid thing to say! She thought. "No, I don't think we have. I'm InuYasha." There was a pause before InuYasha spoke again. "Um I was wondering if you would like to join me for lunch." "Um, I guess it would be alright, I get off for lunch at quarter to twelve." Kagome replied shyly. "Oh good, it is quarter to twelve." InuYasha said.
Kagome pulled of her apron and shoved it in her locker. She grabbed her bag and walked out from behind the counter. "I'll be back at 12:30 Mr. Sakagami." She said as they walked out of the store side by side. 11:49 Miroku raced into the store, and was greeted from behind the counter by Mr. Sakagami. "Where's Kagome?" He asked, trying to catch his breath. "She went out for lunch; she'll be back at 12:30 though." Mr. Sakagami said. "She wasn't with InuYasha was she?" Miroku was near panic for some odd reason. "She left with some guy; I think he said his name was InuYasha, why?" "I just wanted to warn her about what she was getting into."
I'm still working on chapter 3 hope to finish it soon!!
