Welcome back! It's been a fun 3 or so hours at my computer and I've

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! . Actually, I hope you enjoy it WAY more than that! (oh, and IdontownInuyashaoranyoftherelatedcharactersnordoIownthex-men!!!)
Chapter 4: Comic Book Crazy
"Emes!" Kagome burst through the doors of the Comic Book Java (just your friendly neighborhood spid.. I mean.. comic book store).
Emes looked up from the comic shelves, where she had been trying to organize the new order of old X-men issues (she's bitter about the revamped "new x-men"). Peter was busy on the opposite side of the room steaming milk at the Java station while Tina stood by the front registers readjusting action figures behind their glass case.
"Hey, Kagome! Ready for fun and excitement behind the counter I see.. "
Kagome closed up her umbrella and scrambled out of the confines of her raincoat. Emes could see a look of worry spread over her face. Pulling her hair back into a ponytail to match Emes, Kagome hurried to the older girl's side and whispered excitedly,
"I saw him again!"
Emes looked up in confusion, "Saw who?"
"HIM! That guy who smashed into our window the other night!.." Kagome could see no sign of recognition from Emes that what she was saying made any sense,
"C'mon! The guy YOU called the police on?" Still, Emes seemed puzzled. Kagome began to seriously worry.. surely her friend was joking?!
Peter looked up from his work to give a raised-eyebrow-Kagome-is-crazy look in her direction. Kagome paid no attention as she was wrapped up in her frustration.
'how could she not know what I'm talking about? SHE WAS THERE!'
"I really don't know what you're talking about Kagome. but you ARE starting to freak me out. Maybe you've read too many of these comic books or something."
Losing patience, Kagome just rolled her eyes and stormed off to the laundry room to pick up a clean apron and her nametag. In the back room, she stashed her purse in a locker and went into the bathroom to change. (Big Back ROOM! - I told you this store was awesome.)
Later, after a few hours of long lines, rude customers, new burns, and the fresh perfume of coffee aroma.. Kagome relaxed at her post behind the java counter. She was still upset that Emes would be so cruel to her. pretending that she didn't remember their strange encounter with the mysterious boy. Secretly, she plotted revenge while wiping the stained serving sufaces.
Peter jabbed her in the shoulder with his knuckles from behind. She turned to complain instantly,
"what do YOU wa." Before she could finish, a green spray bottle of NO- rinse shot a misty spray of cleanser straight into her opened mouth. "AAAAAAHHJHHH!!! Peter you asshole! .blech .blech!" She began spitting profusely (where oh where could she be aiming?) to eject the awful taste from her tongue.
"Gross, Kagome!" Peter now had cleanser-tainted spit to wipe from his shirt and face.. a deserving punishment according to Kagome.
Having rid herself of Peter's antics for a while, Kagome returned to her thoughts of anger towards Emes.
"Hey Emes, how about a bit of espresso? I've got to check the shot levels anyways."
Emes couldn't see the smirk on Kagome's face as she was currently pulling a drop from one of the registers. Tina stood by the manager sighing loudly.
"yah, sure. Make it a double. I'll be in the back for a sec packing up the deposit so just leave it out front so I can pick it up on my way out." Staring at her precious cargo of drop money, Emes hurried into the back Room and then the Office, ignoring the evil grin touching her favorite employee's normally sweet face.
Tina took out a duster and worked her way along the shelf behind the register counter (it being filled with stacks of trading cards and collectibles). Closer to the Java counter she reached her hand into the tip jar, a small plactic container resting on the corner of the see-thru case filled with action figures. Carefully she pulled out three pennies and took aim at something by the corner sink where dirty coffee mugs sat waiting to be scrubbed.
::Thwap!::
A copper fleck sped through the air and hit Peter in the left arm. "OUCH! HEY! Quit it Tina!"
::Thwap!:: A second penny struck Peter in the forehead this time. "TINA!!"
Meaning war, Peter grabbed a handful of Arabica coffee beans from a drawer and began returning fire.
::Thwap!::
::Thwip! Thwip!::
Tina reloaded and the air was filled with projectiles. Luckily, no customers were in sight, as this was the slow time of day. especially in this horrible rain. Kagome ducked out of view, happy to have some cover for her secret revenge operation. Carefully, she reached below the counter cabinets to scoop up fallen coffee grounds. Standing, she set the dirt- ridden bits into the portafilter and quickly covered these with fresh bits from the instant grinder. Packing them down with the metal pounder, she laughed quietly to herself. Never had she been this wicked towards anyone.. never. Somehow though, this just felt right. She locked the device tightly into place on the espresso machine and set a small espresso cup beneath the portafilter drip drains. Soon a steaming 2-shot portion of black liquid had settled with a delicate yet deceiving golden crema formed around its surface.
'We shall see just how much of a coffee expert Emes really is. hehe." Kagome set the cup on a matching tiny saucer and place both on the serving counter. Seconds later, Emes emerged from the back room carrying a black pouch (the deposit) and a folded brown one (to carry the rolls of change of course!..sheesh) .
"Thanks Kagome, I'll be back in about 15 minutes okay? You're in charge while I'm gone (glaring at Peter and Tina)." Emes snatched the espresso cup with one hand and downed the contents like a true coffee addict. Rushing out the door, she hesitated and smirked back at Kagome. "Very funny.." and with that she was out the door and down the sidewalk, headed for the bank.
'How did she always know?!' Kagome stood unsatisfied at her post, wishing she had thought of something better. A penny suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit her in the side of the head.
"OW!" She rubbed the offended spot.
Tina cringed, "Sorry, Kagome!" Peter unleashed a new handful of coffee beans, bombarding the distracted Tina and restarting the war.
Kagome rolled her eyes at the two teenagers and headed for the couch. Before she could reach her destination, however, a face appeared at the front doorway. It belonged to a young man, with shiny black hair hanging down past his shoulders, wearing olive green ankle-length cargo shorts (boys and their fashions.) with a tight black t-shirt under a trendy light blue jacket. His eyes were gentle and yet full of pride and determination. He held his hands on his hips and stared in Kagome's direction.
Fully taken aback by the entrance of this handsome hotty, Kagome stuttered, "Hi.we..welcome..to Comic Book.Ja..va." She felt frozen, wanting to run into the back room to scream and blush, and at the same time wanting to throw her arms around his neck in full adoration.
"Kagome?" His voice echoed in her mind. Why did that sound so familiar?
"Can I help you with something?" She asked grinning from ear to ear.
The boy stepped further into the store and surveyed his surroundings. His gaze fell on the comic books which seemed to peak his interest as he leaned towards them, distracted from the girl.
"Oh! Do you like comic books? I mean. well, you probably do, people don't just wander into comic book stores by mistake!...Uh.right! So, do you have something in mind?" Kagome mentally smacked herself in the forehead for being such an idiot with words.
The boy returned his gaze suddenly to Kagome, "Actually, I'm here to get.I mean..see YOU."
Tina and Peter had ended the war at this point, tired of the game and more interested by the new arrival they had just noticed. Peter teasingly spoke to Kagome,
"Who is this? You're boyfriend!"
Kagome snapped a menacing glare in Peter's direction which told him to back off.
Startled by the remark, the handsome boy retorted, "Keh! Like I would m.. I mean.. DATE with HER!"
Now Kagome was furious. It was bad enough that her close friend Emes had played a cruel joke on her earlier and that she was stuck working with screwballs like Peter and Tina. But now she had a total stranger completely insulting her!
"Like ANYONE would want to date YOU in the first place! Do I even KNOW you?"
He glared back at her angry eyes and folded his arms across his chest. "You're too blind and stupid to know the answer to that one, woman."
"Hey! Backoff willya?" Peter stepped from behind the counter in an attempt to be helpful, while Tina just gaped at the rudeness of the boy's words.
Kagome was becoming overly annoyed, "What are you talking about you jerk?"
Seeing the reactions of the others present, the handsome boy softened his words, "Whatever, I just came here to talk to you okay?"
"About what?" Kagome demanded.
"About you, me, and getting out of here!" he nearly growled.
Something definitely sparked a sense of familiarity in Kagome about this person, but she just couldn't decide where she knew him from. Taking a wild guess, she said,
"Who are you? Some sort of SECRET admirer or something?" She laughed at the thought.
"No you stupid girl! I'm here to." But before he could finish his tirade, Emes appeared in the doorway behind him, carrying a now-heavy brown bag full of coin rolls from the bank.
"What's going on in here?" She said coolly. Strolling casually into the store and stopping beside Kagome. She turned to look at the young man. "Is everything alright?"
Peter, Tina, and Kagome shot glances at eachother, knowing they were in big trouble for daring to argue with a customer, despite his all too unpleasant personality.
The boy seemed at a loss for words, surprised by the manager's arrival. "I..umm. Kagome was.."
Emes, however, knew exactly what to say, "OH yes! You must be the interview I have today! Let's bring you to the back room so we can look over your application."
This was not the reaction any of the employees were expecting from their normally strict boss. The young man stared at Emes with bewilderment while Kagome scrunched up her face at the idea. 'Like HELL am I going to work with HIM!'
Before, the boy could protest as he had opened his mouth to do, Emes had shoved the heavy bag into his arms and was leading him to the back room, going on about some wonderful application she had received and how she was delighted to see him.
He looked back and managed to say, "Kagome?" looking at her longingly, although Kagome had no idea why a jerk like him would dare to do so.
"Bye-bye jerkface!" She smiled evilly. It was weird how sinister she had become in one morning's time. Suddenly, she felt sick. her stomach flipflopped in her belly and her head began reeling. 'I don't remember drinking that espresso.' she thought. Kagome swayed where she stood as the room began spinning.
Tina rushed to Kagome's side, realizing that something was amiss. "Kagome, are you alright? Peter! Help me take her to the couch!"
Peter jumped into action, grabbing Kagome's right arm and leading her with Tina's help over to the green couch by the front door.
"Kagome, what happened?" Tina's eyes were wide with worry.
"My head hurts. badly." She groaned. "I just need some aspirin."
Peter sat down next to Kagome and allowed her to lean her head onto his shoulder. Slowly he brushed her raven bangs out of her eyes. Tina had run to the back room to retrieve the first aid kit, but returned instead with Emes by her side. A bottle of what seemed to be aspirin was clenched in Emes' hand as she struggle with the lid.
"Take it easy, Kagome, this'll have you better in no time." Emes dropped a medicated pill into her hand. Tina brought over a glass of water from the faucet and Kagome downed the headache-reliever.
"Just stay put until it passes okay? I'll be in the back room with my interview for just a while longer. Call me if you need me alright?" Kagome nodded, and Emes disappeared into the far doors once more, aspirin in hand.
Kagome just felt like sleeping then, or dying. whichever came first. The pain in her temple was throbbing while the other symptoms had vanished without a trace. Peter left her side gently as a few customers made their way into the store. Kagome just laid down on the soft cushioned couch and watched her co-workers greeting, serving, and pretending to be the nicest, most helpful people on the face of the planet.
Somewhere around an hour later, Kagome woke from her short nap feeling refreshed and energized. The pain was completely gone. She was ready to work! For whatever reason, she couldn't remember exactly what had happened circa the moments she was hit by the headache. 'Emes had left for the bank... someone came in the store. then Emes came back and took him into the back room.'
She looked up to find Tina and Peter dusting and cleaning once again, not aware that she had awakened. Kagome sat up and stretched. As Peter saw her movement, the back room door swung open to reveal Emes standing beside a handsome young man whom Kagome didn't recognize.
"Who is this, Emes?" Peter asked with humor in his voice.
Emes smiled. "This is your new co-worker. The interview went so well, I just had to hire him on the spot."
Kagome looked doubtfully at the newly hired boy, he had a strange look in his eyes, like someone who had just landed from outerspace. 'he doesn't seem so awesome, kinda weird actually.. Although terribly cute.' She grinned and stood up, calling attention to the fact that she was well again.
"Excellent! You're awake, Kagome. how do you feel?" Emes put on a look of concern.
" OH I feel great! So this is the newest addition to our happy little family, eh?" Kagome gave a sly smile towards the hot guy who had yet to speak. "What's your name? or do you plan on speaking at all today?"
The boy responded with a sly smile of his own, "My name is Inu-yasha, not that it's any of your business."
Kagome blushed slightly, although not knowing why. 'Inu-yasha, huh?... That's a dorky name.' She knew this one would be a fun character. Still, she felt uneasy. There was something eerie in the air, perhaps the continual dreary rain had something to do with it. but she couldn't help feeling like she was trapped in the Twilight Zone.
