Reconizing True Love

Chapter 2: Meet the Crew!


Sango walked in her new work while telling herself that she could get it right. The other job she had before ended up with the boss covered in very hot coffee and her getting fired. But she had to admit, the evil witch did look amusing running around saying "OWWW! CRAP THIS IS HOT!" and tugging at her heated T-shirt! People were staring at her like she was insane(Which she was) and others, more like her age, were laughing their heads off while she was trying to hide hers.

Sango laughed silently at that memory. She walked up to the counter and saw two people cleaning cleaning the marble surface. The place was casual and the lighting wasn't to bright and it wasn't to dark either. There wasn't anybody at the tables because the cafe was still closed, but soon it would open.

One of the people who was cleaning the counter looked up at her.

"I thought the sign said we were closed! Can't you read?" He said coolly but with a hint of sarcastic ness in his voice. Sango looked over to him. He had tan skin, well built body. He had on the same uniform, but with baggy blue jeans. His hair was surprisingly long and braided down to the end of each strand,sharp turqoise eyes that held cruel amusment, but his facial expression looked angry. He was mocking her. He might be devilishly handsome, but he seemed arrogant, rude, and infuriating all in the same package!

Sango, ignoring the comment he made, walked over to him and looked him straight in the eye.

"I'm looking for the owner of this place. Where are they?" she asked with a cold voice.

Bankotsu looked over her shoulder and quickly looked her in the face. "Why should I tell you?"

Sango was getting angrier by the minute. "Because I'm gonna be working here and I want to see them!"

"I'm right here, Miss Taijiya." Said a voice behind her. The surprised teen jumped around and she caught herself looking into cold amber eyes.


Bankotsu looked at the table he had just cleaned. Seeing it was spotless like the others he cleaned, he went to the big counter in the back of the big room that would soon be occupied by customers.

'Another boring day in this place.' He thought lazily. He asks himself why he chose to work in Jewel's cafe. And everyday the answer came.

This is the only place he felt comfortable in.

He didn't know why. He wanted action, but this place he just cleans and takes orders from people. His boss, Sesshomaru, wanted him cleaning because the stoic man thought he was not the right person to take orders if you know what I mean.

The 18 year old was scrubbing at a smudge on the counter when he heard a light "thud" come from behind him. He could see a girl, maybe around his age, came in through the front doors. He looked her up and down. She had long black hair with a little brown tied down in a ponytail at the nape of her her neck, peach colored skin and womanly curves showing in the right places. He could see the uniform she had on belonged to the cafe, but he had never seen her here in those long weeks of working in this place. He wouldn't deny it. He thought she was really hot.

He decided to not notice the uniform, for reasons unknown to himself, and be the sarcastic person he was when he felt like it. And right now was one of those times(I'm the same way! But you probably don't care!).

"I thought the sign said we were closed! Can't you read?" He called out to get her attention. She sharply look over in his direction and walked up to him, seemingly ignoring his comment about her. Once she was a good distance away, she looked him right in the eye.

"I'm looking for the owner of this place. Where are they?"

'Well she apparently isn't in a good mood!' he inwardly remarked at the icyness in her voice and not getting the fact he caused the tonein the first place. He looked her in the face. She had soft looking skin, and pink eyeshadow, making her cinnoman eyes, which mostly looked black from his point of view, stand out perfectly. Hot being an understatement for this girl.

He looked at her face for a few moments until he saw another figure step into his sight. He quickly glanced up and realized it was his icy boss towering her figure and she didn't even notice it. Bankotsu looked back at her. "Why should I tell you?"

She looked like she was angry now. "Because I'm gonna be working here and I want to see them!" She bursted in his face.

'My she has a short temper . . .'

"I'm right here, Miss Taijiya." Sesshomaru cut in the soon to be argument. Bankotsu saw her jump and turn around at the same time. Sesshomaru, not wanting to make a conversation, cut right to the chase. "Do you have the papers?"

"Umm . . . yeah I do. They're right here," she reached into her small backpack and took out a neat document. Sessomaru took it into his own hand and scanned the contents. It had her information, where she lived, and if she had any other jobs before this one. after a few moments the tall man looked at her.

"Your job is to take orders. Understand?"

Sango inwardly rolled her eyes. 'Duh!' "Yes."

Sesshomaru nodded to her and walked into the back room. The boy who was silent the whole time finally walked over. Sango looked at him and he stuck out his hand.

"Hi I'm Kouga." Sango shook his hand firmly.

"Sango."

"Welcome to our little cafe, Sango!" Kouga patted her on the back. A little to hard for her comfort.

" . . . Am I the only girl working here?"

"No. Actually I haven't seen Ayame anywhere and Rin is in the back room." Kouga replied.

"Oh."

"It's time to open this place!" Bankotsu said in a bored tone and walked over to flip the sign so it says "OPEN" now.

"Rin! We just opened!" Kouga called out. A few moments later a bouncy teen that looked like a child with all that innocence came out of the back room.

"Hi! You must be Sango!" Rin took Sango's hand and shook it enthusiasticly(Is that even a word? I dunno . . .)

"H-hi . . . wait, how do you know my name?"

"I always hang around Sesshomaru! He is like a dad to me so I love annoying him and stuff like that! thats how I know your name. I kinda snuck into his office and looked through stuff."

"Oh it's o.k." Sango laughed.

"So Sango, ya datin' anybody right now?" Kouga asked.

"Well-"

"Kouga! You better not be flirting!"aA female voice came from the doors. They turned around and saw another girl. She had long red hair put up into two ponytails and green eyes. She had a uniform also with a name tag.

"Ayame!" Kouga exclaimed. Ayame ignored him and went up to Sango.

"Are you the new worker?"

"Yeah."

Ayame sighed in relief. 'As long as Kouga isn't trying to get women who come in temporarily.'

"Hi. The name is Ayame."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sango."

"Likewise."

"The customers are starting to come!" Rin rejoiced. Two people came in and sat down at the closest table. Bankotsu looked at Sango.

"Looks like you're up, Sango!" He said.

"Yup." Sango smiled. She would have a good time working at this place.


I AM SO SORRY THIS ISN'T LONGER! But I have something to tell you!

Here is the story. I was finished the chapter before I wrote this. But I didn't save all of it. I thought it would be o.k. if I waited until I was finished. So I'm typing the last of the chapter, when all of a sudden I see a big spider right next to me. I got a little scared so I went into my kitchen and grabbed paper towels to kill it because it looked poisonous. But my dad came in askin what was wrong cuz I was saying how I told my mom that the spider that was living in front of the house would come in the house. But she didn't listen to me! Then my dad gets the vaccuum and sucks it up. So he wants to see of it was the spider that was outside. It's nighttime and all and its pretty much dark outside so he decides to turn on the light outside. THAT is when I got mad. He accidentally turned the power switch and ALL I WROTE WAS ERASED CUZ HE TURNED THE POWER OFF! I WAS LIKE WHAT THE HELL! He didn't even realize what he did. I'm mad at him and now I have a major headache and the chapter you all read just now is different than the one I wrote before this! The first one was much better! I am SO SORRY! Can you nice readers find it in yuor hearts to forgive me?

I really am sorry. The chapter I wrote before was longer, better, and LONGER then this one. I just didn't have enough inspiration since I was in a bad mood and I still am. My dad! I love him and all but he is just plain stupid! He gave me a headache, distroyed all I typed. And put me on the edge because of one of his stupid mistakes! That never happened before and me being all emotional and stuff I was on the brink of tears cuz he just ruined everything! Thing hardly ever go my way! ; . ;

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! tHAT WILL HELP ME GET INTO A BETTER MOOD!
