It was several hours later, and needless to say, Sango was ready to call it quits for the day. Both Kagome and Hojo had instructed her well, and a few customers trickled in for her to practice on, and while it hadn't exactly been boring...Oh hell, who was she kidding. Her feet hurt like the devil and she was extremely tired of wearing that ridiculous uniform. Ok, so it wasn't ridiculous. In fact, it was kind of cute...Not like she'd admit that, anyway. But that wasn't the point! The point was that it was almost time to close up shop and she was ready to go home for a nice soak in the tub.
But it really didn't seem fate was on Sango's side that day. For two young men entered the shop. The first was wearing red nylon jogging pants and a white muscle shirt. His long locks of silver were tucked beneath a red beanie. The other was wearing black jeans and a very dark purple t-shirt. His ebon hair was pulled back into a small ponytail. While Sango didn't really consider purple a 'manly' color, it didn't look too shabby on him.
By then they had made it to the counter, so she dropped that train of thought and politely smiled, greeting them, "Welcome to Shikon Shoppe! What can I get for you two today?"
The silver-haired man looked like he was going to open his mouth to order, but his dark-haired companion interrupted him before he had a chance to speak. "What flavor do you like?" he asked keenly. Sango blinked. "I myself prefer chocolate," he added, looking almost smug.
"...Err..." Sango looked unsure of herself, and she glanced over at her shoulder at Kagome. Hojo was conspicuously absent. Kagome shrugged, and Sango turned back to the man. "I suppose I like vanilla," she admitted. "It's light, and you can put just about any topping you want on it...Chocolate's much too rich for me,"
The man, if possible, looked smugger than before. "But," he seemed determined to keep the conversation up. "That's the whole point of chocolate, you see. Oh-so-rich, tantalizingly sensual..." he eyed her body up and down, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Sango gritted her teeth. It figured. Her first day and she was expected to deal with a pervert. She'd like to step out from behind the counter and floor him right then and there, but she really couldn't risk losing her job so soon. The customer is always right, the customer is always right! She chanted. "Well, that's your opinion, sir, and I'm sure it's just as valid as mine,"
"You know what's even better, though?" he continued, completely ignoring her attempt for closure on the subject matter. "When you mix the two together..." he sported a goofy grin, and his tone was impish. Sango was now highly suspicious of his motives, to say the least.
"Is that what you want, then?" she nearly hissed, remembering to hold on to her temper at the last moment. The last thing she needed to be fired for was for exploding on a customer. Even if he was implying some really rude things. "A twist?"
"I'll have a-" again, the silver-haired man was cut off by his companion.
"What kind of toppings do you have?"
Sango said nothing, still trying to keep her temper in check. Instead, she motioned to a row of toppings in little containers, all neatly labeled and lined up so the customers could see them.
"I don't suppose you have cookie dough?" he asked, even though the container was right there in front of him.
"Yes, sir, we do have cookie dough," her voice was now a little dangerous. If that man asked one more question, she didn't know how long her sanity would last. Maybe this wasn't the right job for her after all.
"I love cookie dough," the man 'harassing' Sango stated quite happily. "Don't you?"
"Yes, sir, I like cookie dough," she growled. Why wasn't Kagome helping her out, here?
Said girl had gone off looking for Hojo for help, but this unfortunately, left Sango alone with the customer. "Seems like your friend left you," the man noted.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Nevermind the fact that Sango disliked camels and believed straw to be itchy. She was fed up with this punk, and he was soon going to find out just how irritated she was.
She stormed from behind the counter, eyes flashing dangerously. She grabbed ahold of the lecher by the collar and his friend by the back of his shirt. She marched them both over to the front door, kicked it open, threw them out, and shouted, "And don't you dare come back!" before slamming the door shut behind them.
"But I want my strawberry ice-cream!" one of them screeched, presumably the hentai's companion.
Really, the nerve of some people, she steamed, dusting her hands off. It was then that Kagome re-emerged with Hojo. "Oh!" Kagome blinked, looking surprised. "I guess you already got rid of them...Good job!"
Sango nearly sweatdropped, recalling just how she got rid of them, but decided not to inform her two co-workers of that. It would be bad enough if the boys returned to complain to her manager. "Yes, good job," she muttered to herself.
Hojo peaked out the window. "They're still here! And they're not eating anything, either!" he assumed they had purchased something. "They look happy!" he completely misread the silver-haired man's angry expression. Also misreading the frantic gestures towards Shikon Shoppe, he added, "Maybe they'll come back for more!"
"Isn't it about time to close?" Sango asked, more anxious than before, for obvious reasons.
"Err, yah..." Kagome nodded vigorously, agreeing with her friend's less-than-happy tone. After all, she had witnessed the man's perversions first hand. She didn't want them coming back either. His friend wasn't too bad looking, though, she silently laughed. "Sango...you ready to go?" she turned to ask, but then sweatdropped, seeing her friend was already way ahead of her.
A/N: Eew, I didn't really like this chapter. It was kinda, I dunno, icky. Sure, the beginning was all right, but it all kind of spiraled downwards from there. Then again, what do I know? I really rather liked the first chapter and it only got one review. Oh well, hopefully I'll get more, even if they all consist of people complaining about how bad this chapter was...The only thing good about this probably was that it was a quick update, even though the content wasn't really something to look forward to...Eh...
Please Review!
