Diner Job
Summary: Kagome works part-time at a diner with her friend Sango. It's a dull job but it pays. A man comes in one day and begins to come everyday at the same time. One day she gets the courage to talk to him...
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine. But this plot is.
A/N: Okay sorry about the lateness. I had a lot of schoolwork. And plus it's near exam time. I need to study.
Last Time:"Sorry." Kagome said as she began to wrap his chest. She put the dirty supplies into the garbage and packed the rest away.
She got up and went to the kitchen. She made some instant noodles for the both of them. She gave him some and they ate silently.
She finished and placed her bowl in the sink. She went to the closet and grabbed a pillow and blankets. She went back to the couch and handed them to him.
"Thank you very much. And Don't worry I'll be out of here in the morning." She helped him make his bed then went to her own.
She was asleep for no longer than twenty minutes, when she heard window being opened. There was a dark figure in the window advancing towards her bed.
Chapter FourKagome abruptly swung her body upward, so that she was sitting up. She opened her mouth to speak, but the man threw his body against hers. He knocked the air out of her lungs. He grabbed her hair and whispered into her ears.
"Stupid wench, you won't get away from me, like you did Shippo." Kagome realized it wasn't Shippo. But now she wanted to call out for him, so that he could help her, but her mouth was being held shut.
The weight of his body was keeping oxygen out of her lungs and she began to feel weak. Her right arm was loose so Kagome tried to grope for something to help her. On the bedside table was a glass full of water. She hit him over the head with it.
He yelled in pain and let go of her. As Kagome started to get out of bed, her legs got tangled in the sheets and she fell to the floor with a thud. The man took this as an opportunity to grab at her again.
Shippo wasn't fully asleep yet, and heard a loud thump coming from Kagome's room. He got up and found his way through the dark hall. He reached the door and heard shuffling inside. He slowly turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. There lay Kagome with half of her clothes torn off, and the dark figure of a man looming over her.
Shippo angrily grabbed the man off and threw him across the room. With his back still facing Kagome he told her to call the police. At the sound of her feet running out of the room, he made his way over to the man. Shippo got close enough to see his face, before he jumped back out of the window.
"Naraku!" he hissed. Shippo saw him running down the fire escape stairs.
Ten minutes later the police knocked the door. Kagome was too shocked to say anything but her name to the cops. Shippo told them what happened, while Kagome sat on the couch.
"Now, are you sure you saw Naraku here? He was last seen across town." The tall police officer asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I've met him before and I know what he looks like." Shippo replied.
"Alright then, give the little lady something warm to drink and stay with her. She doesn't look to well. Lock the doors and windows. And we'll be in touch with you." The fat policeman said, and left the apartment.
Shippo locked the door like the man said and sat next to Kagome. As soon as she realized he was near, she threw her arms around him. She was his only comfort right now, and she badly needed it.
Shippo managed to get Kagome and him some warm tea, and sat down with her.
"Shippo how did you know Naraku, and why did he come after me?" She asked him.
"It's kind of hard to say, but after my parent died. I was eight years old then I stayed in an orphanage until I was twelve. I had six foster homes in four years. I didn't want to stay there anymore, so I ran away." He paused to look at her.
"Where did you go? How old are you really?" she asked.
He smiled at her. "I'm sixteen. I have been on the streets since I was twelve. I had no where else to go." He stopped.
Kagome felt bad for him. He was so young and had a terrible life. "Go on," she urged.
"Well, I bumped into Naraku, and some of his men. He asked me to join, and I did, having no where else to go." He continued to tell her.
"But I was a newbie to him, so they didn't make me do anything too bad. I don't have a criminal record. I was a wimp and couldn't mug you." He stopped when she giggled.
"You're not a wimp. It was smart and brave of you." She told him. "And you can stay here as long as you want. You are always welcome." Then she hugged him.
"Thank you, Kagome and don't worry you'll get my share of rent." He said and they both laughed.
Both of them couldn't sleep and decided to watch t.v.
In the morning, around seven, Shippo woke up and felt someone cuddled beside him. He looked down and there was Kagome sleeping peacefully, clutching his shirt.
He moved to go to the washroom slowly not to wake her. He successfully got up and made his way to the bathroom. He lifted his shirt and unwrapped the bandages from his chest. He was already healed.
