Diner Job
Summary: Kagome worked in a small, boring diner. She was a waitress for a handsome man, who offered her a better job with his company...Her past has come back to haunt her. She's being chased by strange people. But why now?
Disclaimer: After all these chapters I still don't own Inuyasha.
A/N: Okay guys, here it is. Sooner than I thought.
Last Time:
Sesshoumaru couldn't take it anymore. He had to leave his office right now. It felt too crowded. Normally he didn't leave his office, but today wasn't a normal day.
Before he knew it he was standing outside of Kagome's office. His ears perked up and he heard a woman's soft crying. It was like his body had taken over his mind and he threw the office door open.
"Why are you crying?" He shouted.
Inside Kagome and Sango were shocked.
Chapter 11"Wh...what are you talking about, Mr. Inutaishio?" Kagome asked just to break the awkward silence that had suddenly taken over the room. Good thing no one outside had seen anything.
Sesshoumaru glanced around the room and noticed another woman, the one from the dance club. She was sitting on the couch with about a dozen tissues in her hand.
He closed his eyes and squeezed the bridge of his long and slim noes. What had gotten into him? He was becoming weak, and losing control of himself. There was only one logical explanation for all this...but what?
"I just...," he said then cleared his throat and said more clearly. "I thought I heard you crying in here and...yes, I see your not so I'll just leave right now."
Kagome just smiled at him. He was babbling and he still looked so sexy. He's the sexiest bachelor in this whole country. I wonder what it would like to...Kagome let her mind wonder a little.
"Kagome, did you hear me? I said to get your friend a drink." He said as he noticed her distant eyes and pink cheeks.
"Yes, yes. Thank you. I will." She said quickly. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"N...o..."He said just as Inuyasha barged into the office. What is with everyone today? Kagome thought to herself.
"Sesshoumaru what are you doing here?" Sesshoumaru's younger half brother asked him.
Before Sesshoumaru could explain himself Kagome had opened her mouth.
"Oh, Inuyasha. I need to talk to you. It's about the date tonight." She said as she took his hand and ushered him outside her own office to speak privately.
"Okay, Kagome. What is it?" He said and followed her.
"My friend's boyfriend is in the hospital and she's really upset. I don't really feel comfortable leaving her alone tonight. And she doesn't have anyone else right now. " She explained to him.
"I understand, Kagome. You don't have to explain anymore. How about a rain check?" he said to her with a smile on his gorgeous face. He noticed she hadn't let go of his hand yet, but it was fine.
"Thanks, Inuyasha. I'll take you up on that offer." She said and squeezed his hand to show she was sincere about it.
Sesshoumaru growled a bit when Kagome and Inuyasha came back after hearing their whole conversation. But at least Kagome had decided to cancel the date.
"I think I should go now and take Sango home." Kagome announced to everyone standing in the room. "If you don't mind. I'd like to lock the door." She continued.
"Sure. Bye Kagome." Inuyasha said and walked out and turned right.
"Hn." Sesshoumaru shrugged his shoulders and left the office shortly afterwards.
Kagome and Sango put on their coats and closed the door. Kagome helped Sango into the front passenger seat of her own car and then got herself settled into the driver's seat. The drive home was quiet.
Meanwhile, back at home, Shippo was about to open the apartment door after checking the mailbox downstairs when a little girl about the height of his knee, came bounding up to him. She had two brown pony-tails on the sides of her head and bounced as she did.
"Hello." She said with a smile on her face. "Is Kagome home?" She asked.
"Oh, no. I'm sorry she's not home yet." Shippo replied. She had the cutest violet eyes. Immediately the little girl's smile dropped. Shippo felt bad.
"What can I do for you?" Shippo asked sweetly.
"I...was..." She started to sob. "I was looking for Kagome. I brought her some cookies." She said and held up a box of homemade chocolate cookies.
"Oh, well, don't get upset. She'll be home shortly." Just then Kagome was seen walking down the hall with Sango behind talking softly. "Look, there she comes now." He said and pointed at Kagome.
"Kagome!" the little girl chirped, no longer crying. She all but threw the box of cookies at Shippo and ran to Kagome.
"Hello, Sidney. What are you doing here?" Kagome asked, she was afraid the little girl was lost again.
"Mommy, sent me to give you those cookies." She said grabbing the box from Shippo. He stood there looking dismayed. "I helped make them!" She said proudly.
"I'm sure there delicious. Come inside, and we'll all try them." She said taking the offered box.
Shippo opened the door and held it for all the ladies. Kagome introduced them all and explained how she met Sidney Malone. Sango was already feeling more cheerful. She was smiling at least.
After thirty minutes Kagome took Sidney home and thanked her mom for the cookies.
When she got back Shippo and Sango were talking, he was standing up and acting out a joke he knew. At the punch line Sango laughed until tears came into her eyes.
It was getting late and Shippo said he was tired and went to bed. The girls were left in the kitchen, knowing Kagome had work in the morning Sango said she was going to take a taxi home.
"No, stay the night. Please. Don't go home alone." Kagome was concerned for her friend.
"I would love to, but Shippo has the couch." Sango said. She didn't want to go home alone either.
"Remember the eighth grade? At the overnight camp trip and there were spiders on my bed. And we shared yours." Kagome reminded her friend.
"Oh yeah. You still remember. You were so frightened of spiders." Sango giggled at the memory.
"Well, I owe you. I'll take you to work tomorrow morning after I drop Shippo off at school. You still have some clothes in my closet." Kagome said.
"Okay, fine I'll stay. Thanks, Kagome." Sango said and hugged her friend.
"It's no problem. Here let me get you a night gown." She said and ran to her room.
Sango took the clothes gratefully and went to the bathroom. Kagome waited for her friend who was in the shower and turned on the television.
"Hmm...no good movies on right now." Kagome said and switched the channel.
"Late breaking news. It is my duty to inform the citizens of Tokyo that the notorious Naraku has been last spotted around the corner of a local diner on Straight Street."
"What!" Kagome gasped.
"It seems he has been making deals with another group of criminals. One witness said they saw two of them. What's the news Sora?" The broadcast changed to a woman standing outside of the same diner Kagome used to work at.
"Thank you, Akio. I'm standing here with a Mr. Sato, he claims to have witnessed two people walk out of the alley after the authorities were notified." The female reporter said.
The picture on the television then turned to an old man.
"Yes, yes. The man who walked out had black hair, and was wearing a long black coat. What was strange was he came out with a woman. She also had black hair, seemed tied up. Dressed in black as well. But she had red eyes. Very strange. The man seemed to have hit her, then the police came and they ran away..."
Just then the station went blank. It seemed strange to Kagome. She quickly checked all the other news stations, but there was nothing else.
"Must be technical difficulties. But the man seems oddly familiar. Oh well." Kagome said to herself and went to her room to prepare the bed.
Sango walked into the room with a light pink nightgown on and climbed into bed beside Kagome. They chatted softly about Miroku before falling asleep.
Meanwhile, in the alleyway beside Kagome's apartment building stood a man dressed in black.
"Kagome, your time will come soon." Then he disappeared into the night.

A/N: Okay! Done! Didn't take as long as I thought I'd take. I did manage to make the chapter slightly longer then the last. Thank you for those who reviewed last time. I appreciate it.
The story is beginning to lose it's shine, so if you have any suggestions about what you would like to see in the future I might put it in.
I also just wrote a one-shot, also Sess/Kag. First Kiss Fling, check it out.
