(O.O) This author is shocked senseless. I honestly didn't know how Assassin Café would sit with my favorite group of people (Ban-chan and Kagome-chan lovers!) When my stories create this much of a stir, then I tend to get more inspired and end up writing more chapters quicker. Weird huh? Back to the story then! This is the second chapter of Ansatsusha Kafe, or Assassin Café. No news right now. (Is that good?) Well, whatever with the details! Enjoy this chapter!

Kagome glared at her lunch.
That little ass…
Sango poked her head over her friend's shoulder. "Hey, Kags. What's up?"
Kagome whipped her head around and pointed her index finger accusingly at her lunch bag.
Sango raised one thin eyebrow. "Yes my dear Kagome. It is a lunch. Definitely edible."
"Miss Sango Hiraikotsu! Don't you dare play stupid with me!"
"Okay, Kagome," Sango sighed, giving up teasing her friend. "What's up with your lunch?"
"My brother that's what! That stupid punk ate more than half of my beef! My Mongolian beef!" Kagome growled, fisting her hands. "He knows how much I love Chinese and he has the gull to even look at my food let alone taste it!"
Sango forced a smile on her face. Yes, most definitely. If any being in the entire universe told you that Kagome Higurashi does not like Chinese food, one, that person is blinder than a bat, can't smell a piece of crap even if it was shoved up their nose, and most obviously has never heard of her. Second, that person is denser than Arimi on anti brain planet. Third, that person is fucked as hell.
Kagome took out her eating utensils and poked at the more-than-half-eaten piece of beef. Kagome bit back a frown and poked the meat with one of her chopsticks. "This is only like two freakin' inches of food! You can tell dumb Souta was gonna eat all of it if he hadn't filled up." Kagome let out a small whine. "And I'm hungry, too! Didn't have shit for breakfast," she complained annoyingly, putting the piece of sustenance in her mouth. She slumped in her seat, her forehead making contact with the shiny surface of the desk.
Sango slapped her hand over her face. We better feed her now or else.
"Kagome!" a singy voice bellowed out. Kagome's eyes peered out from under the Kagome blob.
"Hey, Yuka-chan," Kagome droned.
"Don't you 'Yuka-chan' me, Missy! I wanna know. Where'd ya get your lunch from?"
Kagome sat up in her chair. "Before or after my pipsqueak brother devoured it?"
Yuka rolled her eyes. "Kagome! Be serious! Before he got to your lunch!"
"At a cute Chinese café I accidentally found. The name of the place is Dragon Café. It's really nice."
Yuka grinned mischievously. "Did you say Dragon Café?"
Sango sipped her soda quietly. "That's what I heard," she muttered under her breath.
Kagome narrowed her eyes at Yuka. "I have this feeling, weird, weird feeling, that something I said triggered your 'Gossip Mode' feature."
Yuka's grin was so long it almost spilt her face in half. "Omigosh! Guess what I heard about your 'Dragon Café'!"
Kagome stared at Yuka longer.
Taking her friend's action as a 'continue please', Yuka began gossiping away. "Okay, okay! I heard from these groups of chicks that a cool new Chinese restaurant opened up a couple of blocks away from our school. The place is called the Dragon Café and is rumored to have a super hot, super drop dead gorgeous waiter serving all the ladies' needs."
"You've just stepped into Eri's territory," Sango pointed out.
"Sango's right. You know how Eri-chan gets when cute guys are single and ready," Kagome began. "You didn't tell her, did you Yuka?" Kagome questioned.
The short black haired girl blinked at her. "No way! This is hot new news! I only recent found out myself. You two were the first that I told."
"Good! Keep it that way!" Sango snapped.
Yuka scowled. "They don't call me a 'girl' for nothing!"
Kagome and Sango gave Yuka deathly glares.
"But I'm a gossip addict…" Yuka whined childishly. "It's my specialty…"
Sango stood up from her seat on top of Kagome's desk. "I have an idea. How about we pay this Dragon Café a visit? We do, after all, have off campus eating. Kagome's hungry and I know Yuka's dying to meet this guy."
"A guy?" a voice behind Yuka asked.
"Eep!" Yuka jumped. "Oh, Eri, it's only you."
Sango and Kagome slapped their hands over their face.
"You've got to be shittin' me!" Sango groaned. "Oh, Kami! It's not enough I have to baby-sit one gossip possessed demon but now I've got to baby-sit the guy-aholic girl."
Kagome got up. "Well, now that the gang's here, I'm gonna go and call Arimi."
Kagome pulled her silver cell phone out and dialed Arimi's number.
"Yeah, Arimi. You said earlier that you stupidly forgot your lunch again right? You didn't buy lunch yet? Good, good! The gang and I are going to head out to eat at a new Chinese cuisine café. It's called the Dragon Café? Wanna join? Um, no. No Arimi, they don't serve baby dragons in their coffee. I'm sorry to say. NO! Not EVEN in their tea. Okay, then, meet us out in the front of the building, alright? Yeah, bye til then!" Kagome grinned and slapped the phone shut.
"I swear Kagome! You have such a pretty phone but you abuse the hell out of it!" Yuka stated. "It's pretty and expensive! Lucky Kagome-devil!"
Kagome didn't bother giving Yuka even a glance. She was hungry, tired, damn hungry, bored, and fucking damn hungry. Besides, the common 'cell phone' is the dastardly creation of the devil.
Kagome slid her arms though the straps of her back pack. "Let's get outta here. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!"
"Wouldn't doubt it," Yuka snickered to Eri.
Kagome's eyes gleamed a menacing crimson before flashing back to her normal brown. "Yuka-chan, would you like to repeat that?" she said sweetly.
Yuka shook her head repeatedly.
Sango chuckled. Yuka was so comical sometimes.
The group of girl exited the classroom.
Outside, the group met up with Arimi, who was busy poking at a dead leaf."Wow," she ooed hypnotically. "The bug on the leaf tips over when I poke at the leaf. It looks like it's buzzed. Cool, huh?"
Kagome smiled weakly at her friend.
"Here we are!" Kagome informed her friends happily. She may not have been able to enjoy the Mongolian Beef but it tasted delicious from what she did have of it. Besides, she found some money Souta asked her to give to Mom before she left for school. Kagome grinned wickedly, mouthing a "Oopsy daisy!".
"C'mon, let's take a seat," Sango said dragging four girls behind her.
Sitting down in a table more towards the front, five chairs were sat in as four menus were viewed.
Sango grinned to Kagome. "Still set on your Mongolian Beef?"
Kagome nodded her head energetically.
"I know what I want!" Eri announced to her table mates. "I think I'll have some Orange Chicken."
Kagome smiled at her. "Eri-chan! Don't tell me; tell him!" Kagome pointed behind Eri.
The same boy from yesterday was making his way over to their table, same muscular build, same confident smirk, same gorgeous daring crystal blue eyes…
Kagome shut her eyes closed and opened them. Focus!
"Kagome, something get in your eye?" Sango asked.
"Uh, nope! Just an eyelash!"
Sango inspected Kagome's eyes. "I dunno, I don't see anything…" She tried to bite back a smile but was obviously failing at that.
Luckily for Kagome though, Yuka, Arimi, and Eri weren't paying attention to her. Yuka had an evil smile on her face. Eri was blushing mad and even went as far as to pull out her signature yellow headband, comb through her hair quickly and place it back in her hair. Arimi was… being Arimi. She was having a staring contest with one of the Dragon Café's silver shiny spoons.
Another boring ass day full of weirder schoolgirls, Bankotsu sighed. Maybe going gay is the answer…HOLY FUCK! I've been hanging around Jakotsu way too long! Bankotsu! Get a fucking grip. Bankotsu shook his head. It must be all the hot weather mixed with all the latest assignments.
Bankotsu sighed again. Same old. Same old. In one minute he would put on his 'happy waiter how-may-I-serve-you' face and repeat the phrase he'd been saying all day. Hello. Welcome to the Dragon Café. Is everyone ready to place their orders? Dammit! It was even sneaking into his thoughts. At least my night job makes up for this shit excuse of a job. Imagine! One of Tokyo's most lethal assassins being a waiter! That's one for the record.
Really, the only good things that come out of being a waiter is the disguise and all the pretty girls that come by.
Bankotsu smiled and began. "Hello ladies and welcome to the Dragon Café. Is everyone ready to place their orders?"
Well, until he saw her face.
Noticing the waiter looking at her, Kagome beamed at him and said, "Hi again!"
Kagome turned around and began talking to her friends. "Everyone! This is the nice waiter that I met yesterday."
"Nice ain't the only thing he is. Meeeow!" Eri flirted. For an added effect, she made her wrist curl in and she made a 'pawing' effect.
"Gotta admit, Kags! Those rumors are so true! He's good for your eyes," Yuka nodded, impressed. "More than nasty carrots too. This is definitely qualified as eye candy."
"Ah ha! You blinked! I caught you!" Arimi squealed delightfully at the spoon. "I knew I'd win!" She made a small frown and pointed an accusing finger at the spoon. "No do-overs! I won fair and square, you liar!"
"Don't worry. They're always like this," Sango giggled at the boy's confused expression.
Kagome flushed with embarrassment. "C'mon guys! He's trying to take our orders! So tell him already!"
Eri grinned. "Gladly."
Kagome clasped her hand over Eri's mouth, laughing nervously. She glowered evilly at Yuka when she opened her mouth. Yuka quietly shut her mouth.
"I'd like a Hong Kong Chicken meal. Medium," Sango told him.
"Give me an Orange Chicken," Eri batted her eyelashes.
"Can I get a Shanghai Noodles?" Arimi asked.
Bankotsu gave her a quick nod before jotting it down.
"Man, where's all the Japanese food?" Yuka asked, scrunching her nose up.
Kagome inhaled deeply, catching Yuka's attention.
"Ya know, on second thought, I'd like this one." Yuka's finger pointed at some fancy text.
Bankotsu leaned over her and wrote it down. "So do you want some shrimp or dumplings with that?"
Eri blushed and gave a tiny "Eep!"
"Eri! Control your damned hormones!" Sango hissed angrily before slapping Eri's shoulder.
Bankotsu turned to Kagome, who smiled back. "I'll have the Mongolian Beef, please."
He wrote it down quickly, and flashed a grin before saying, "Please wait. I'll be back with your orders."
Once he was out of hearing range, the three girl burst out in a fit of blushing giggles.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD! I've been shot dead by cupid's love arrow!" Eri stated dramatically, placing a hand over her heart.
"I'm with Eri. He's the straight definition of eye candy. Imagine that hot ass in swimming trunks!"
"I like him. He didn't laugh when the spoon insulted me," Arimi grinned.
"I am not going to say anything! I swear I won't comment!" Kagome groaned. Her friends just embarrassed the hell out of her. No lie, he was good looking and all, absolutely tolerant with Arimi's… condition as Sango often said, but no one she'd run after.
Still, it wouldn't hurt to be friends. The more the merrier, right?
"He's alright," Sango yawned. Baby-sitting Souta and Kohaku was never this much trouble. But then again it was never this amusing. Kagome was her best friend, no doubt about that, but it was funny as hell to see the weird expressions escape her face. Especially the embarrassment expression she had perfected the single day when all five girls went out to hang out at that cute pizza parlor near Kagome's house. No repeat of the event was necessary for Sango to burst out laughing; thinking it was more than enough. The somewhat vague memory should've been sent to Japan's funniest home videos.
When Kagome caught sight of Sango's growing grin, she huffed.
She's thinking about that pizza incident AGAIN!
"Excuse me, ladies? Your meals are ready." He placed each dish next to its orderer. "If you need anything, please let me know." He did a small bow before leaving.
"Poor guy! He's embarrassed to death!" Sango laughed.
"He's not the only one," Kagome replied. "Well, dig in and bon appetite!"
The five girls picked up her silverware and began eating quietlyand talking noisily.
"Oh yeah? He's hot alright! But Masou-sempai is wayyy hotter!" Yuka grinned.
"Yeah, Masou is hot but nothing to Haru-sama." Eri squealed girlishly.
Sango began laughing. "Haru-sama? As Haru Ishikawa!" Sango continued her laughing.
"Kagome's boyfriend? Yeah you're definitely right! He's another hot guy! Have you seen him lately? He's been working out!" Yuka grinned.
Kagome growled. "I told you! Haru-kun is NOT my boyfriend! He's my mom's friend's son!"
"Feh, okay, he's your fiancé," Yuka teased.
"NO YUKA! He's just a good friend!"
"Oh yeah. A friend!" Sango giggled. Yuka joined in.
"A friend! With benefits!" Eri laughed.
"He's cute, Kagome. You shouldn't be so embarrassed," Arimi replied cheerfully, twirling strands of her curly black hair with her fingers.
"I'm not embarrassed to be seen with him! I'm not doing anything with him! Haru-kun is just my friend! You people are sick!" Kagome barked at them.
"Speaking of which," Kagome's smile grew into a malicious grin. "Sango, how goes your love life?"
Sango choked on her tea. "You mean that pervert who keeps stalking me? He's bugging the hell outta me!"
"Interested?" Yuka grinned, agreeing on the change of subject.
"Say what!" Arimi piped up. "Hattori-sama's still groping you?"
Eri frowned. "Arimi, you can't be that dumb. He's been groping girls' asses for as long as I can remember."
Sango bit her lower lip nervously.
"Well, once you get pass the butt groping, he's a pretty nice guy," Kagome admitted. Poor Sango's suffering enough. I believed she has learned her lesson.
"Kagome! Please! He groped Sango and you the most! You two should despise him!"
"Yeah, but Miroku's still a good friend; once you tie his hands up of course," Kagome assured them.
"Whatever! Sango's too good for that guy anyway," Yuka stated bluntly.
Arimi smiled. "Oh I get it! Kagome, you befriended Hattori-sama so you could be closer to Takashi-sama!"
All the girls' attention was directed at Kagome.
"That's right! You're so crushing on Inuyasha, right?" Eri demanded.
Kagome's eyes widened. "Uh, erm… Holy crap! Look at the time!" Kagome said, bringing up her cell phone.
"Get off that! It's so old!" Yuka laughed at her friend's antics.
"HOLY FUCK NO!" Sango shrieked. "Kagome's not kidding this time!" Sango pointed at her watch.
"Shit! If we don't move our asses, Mr. Naka is gonna have our heads! Hey! Waiter boy!" Yuka shouted.
Bankotsu frowned.I hate that fucking name. If she knew who I really was, she might show some respect. "Yeah?" he asked.
"Just give us some bags to go! We gotta head off to school!" Yuka rushed him.
He left and brought over a few bags.
"Everyone put your food away! Quick!" Yuka ushered.
Four plastic containers were placed on top of each other. Everyone blinked when Arimi's food wasn't put in the bag.
"What? I finished early," Arimi responded. It was a full meal, enough to bloat you or at the very least last until dinnertime. How'd she finish it so fast? Everyone just shrugged the topic off.
"Whatever!" Yuka, Eri and Sango ran out of the Dragon Café. Arimi followed them.
"Kagome! HURRY UP!"
Kagome looked at the boy. "I'm sorry! I'm kinda in a rush! I promise I'll bring you your tip afterwards!" Kagome smiled at him apologetically. Kagome waved at him. "Gomen nasai! Bye!"
Bankotsu frowned at her. "It's just a tip, relax woman," he muttered to himself. He couldn't help it; he woke up feeling like shit. Being a 'waiter boy' isn't exactly the best job either. He shrugged it off and went back to work.
"What took so long!" Sango asked Kagome while walking out of the school building. It was already after school. They had miraculously made it in the nick of time. Probably only because the teacher was running late.
"I was gonna ask you in English but the damn bitch wouldn't turn her back. Almost like she knew I was gonna ask you something!"
"I told the boy that I was going to stop by after school to give him a tip."
Sango gave her a quizzical look. "Go through all that trouble just to give him a tip?"
"Think Sango! He had to put up with Eri's attempts at flirting! Yuka's big ass mouth and Arimi's uh."
"Condition," Sango responded for her. "I guess we were pretty bad."
"Yeah! And Yuka called him a waiter boy! I know I hate it when everyone refers to me as a pizza girl!"
Sango smiled. "Mind if I tag along then? I'm in no rush to get home and start my intensive sparring with my old man."
"Why does he train you so hard?"
Sango's happy smile quickly turned into a frown. "I dunno! Why does he?"
"Sorry for asking! Well, any suggestions for a change of topic?"
"Kagome, how goes your hunt for the dog boy?"
"He has a name and he is not a dog!" Kagome defended. "His name is Inuyasha Takashi," she said quietly.
"Whatever!" Sango said. "It'll be a hard fish though. You know that he's a great sports player. And with his black hair and evil eyes, he's got that whole bad boy attitude about him! Besides, I think he has a crush already."
Kagome sulked.
"No worry though! At least he ain't a pervert!" Sango told her quickly.
"How goes your crush?" Kagome asked quietly.
Sango took a deep breath. Normally, she would never breathe a word of her secret crush to anyone. But because Kagome was Kagome, and they were practically long lost sisters that kept almost no secrets from each other, Sango began.
"I don't think he's got the message yet."
Kagome smiled at her.
"I think he does. He just wants to hear it directly from your mouth."
Sango scowled. "That perv can dream! I'm not saying shit to him!"
"I don't think smacking Miroku with school books, chairs, desks and anything else you can get your hands on qualifies as 'flirting'."
"Bite me! I'm new at this!" Sango snapped back.
"Don't worry! You're not the only one," Kagome sighed putting her hands behind her head.
Kagome looked up. In fancy Chinese like text read, 'Ryu Kafé'.
Outside a man was sweeping the café floor.
"Kagome! I think they're closed."
"Can't be! The sign says that they close at five today! It's only three!"
Sango nodded her head and followed Kagome across the street.
"Um, excuse me?"
Noticing two girls dressed in school uniforms, the man called over his friend. "Aniki, more customers."
Jakotsu and Bankotsu popped their heads out the kitchen swinging door.
Jakotsu glowered. "Please tell me they aren't women, Renkotsu!" He hissed the word 'women' like venom on his tongue.
"Alright then. I won't tell you," Renkotsu smirked.
"Renkotsu!" Jakotsu seethed angrily.
"Um, excuse me," a girl's voice echoed throughout the empty café.
"It IS a girl!" Jakotsu cried. "Aniki! Forget it! Dishes need washing!" Jakotsu pulled Bankotsu back in.
Renkotsu tried to hold back his grin but with no success.
"May I help you two?" Renkotsu asked politely.
The shorter of the girls looked around the café. "Um, yes. I'm looking for a boy. He looks a couple of years older than me. Has really long black hair tied in a braid," she began.
Renkotsu blinked at her. Another fan girl? Don't they ever give up?
"I owe him a tip," she explained.
Renkotsu looked almost confused. You don't owe people tips…
"We kinda bailed on him because we were late for school. Is he here?"
"He's a bit busy but he's here. Want me to get him for you?"
"If it wouldn't be too much trouble for either of you," she smiled warmly.
Renkotsu placed his broom against the wall and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, Aniki, you've got a couple of fan girls outside."
"More bitches!" Jakotsu cried. His hands pulled at his dark brown hair.
"Fan girls?" Bankotsu asked, puzzled. His eyes suddenly widened. "They don't have those yellow uniforms, do they?" he worriedly asked. "Please Kami! Anyone but them!"
"Nope, they have green." Renkotsu poked his head out the door. "Yeah green sailor uniforms," he confirmed. "One girl with black hair told me that she owes you a tip?"
Bankotsu frowned, trying to remember which of his at least two hundred regular female customers had owed him anything. There's that one girl but she had brown hair, then again, oh shit! "She meant that?" he asked himself. He took off his apron and shoved it to the side and began walking towards the door.
Jakotsu and Renkotsu looked at Bankotsu expectantly.
"It's not what you're thinking!"
They looked more sternly at him. "It's not! Get that thought out of your thick skulls!"
"It's alright, Aniki. You are a young man and have needs and wants," Renkotsu began.
Bankotsu growled at him. "Ren, don't do that annoying shit talk again! It bugs me!" He walked outside the room.
Jakotsu planted his hands on his hips. "Hmph! I am a young man too! I have needs and wants!"
Renkotsu rolled his eyes. "You're gay."
Jakotsu glared at Renkotsu. "You suck!"
He cracked open a smile. "That's your job, I'm afraid."
"Don't you! Urgh! Screw you!" Jakotsu barked at him.
Renkotsu opened his mouth and Jakotsu shot him a glare. "Don't you even say it!"
Bankotsu walked over to the two girls. One of them, the taller one with long straight brown hair tied in a loose ponytail was playing games on her cell phone and the other one, the one Renkotsu described with black hair let loose, was fidgeting around nervously. She soon, however, spotted him. The other girl looked up and then retreated her eyes back onto the screen."Oh, hi! I didn't bother you did I?"
Bankotsu shook his head.
Kagome frowned. He looked annoyed. "Okay, right to the point. Here. These tips are from Eri, Yuka, and Arimi and-" Kagome looked up. The boy looked a bit perplexed. "These tips are from the other girls and this is from me and this is Sango's tip. Sorry about the commotion earlier."
"No problem," he said as she handed him the envelope.
"Uh, bye!"
"C'mon, Kagome. We have to go," the girl with brown hair said. She put her cell away.
"Alright, Sango! Jeez! Waiting a few minutes! It won't kill you, believe me!"
He watched intently as the two girls walked out. "Whatever," he growled before heading back to work.
