See? A lot of love! (I think you guys deserved another chapter and since I had Chapter three done… I uploaded it!) Reading all of the reviews for the last two chapters left me blushing madly! I literally left the computer room blushing with a huge ass grin plastered on my face. My little sister looked worried and my parents looked at me like I was some foreign object. All the better I guess. I long as I have you guys! On with Chapter Four!
"Haru! Over here!"
The boy grinned and walked over to the parked bike. Kagome rode the bike into her garage.
"Gome, what took so long?" Haru helped the two girls off of the bike.
Sango laughed. "Kagome couldn't decide which way to wear her hair." Sango looked up and down. "Nice design, Ishikawa."
Haru smiled and shrugged. He was wearing a black shirt that said 'Real men wear black' and a pair of loose jeans. Haru topped off the outfit with a black cap he turned around.
"You look cool, Haru!" Kagome grinned at him.
Haru gave her a sincere smile. "I should have brought my baseball bat. I'm going to have to kill any guy who tries to hit on you."
Kagome laughed. She looked over her own outfit. The turquoise top Sango picked out for her did seem a bit showy. After all, it was pretty much the absolute counterpart of Sango's red tube top.At least I look bigger Kagome concluded happily. The casual jeans she threw on had a rose design sewn into the right back pocket. And after much fussing and complaining, Sango and Kagome had come to the agreement that the high ponytail was best.
Not as sexy as Sango's attire but cute enough Kagome commented.
"Alright big bro, you do that," Kagome said. "So, where are we eating?"
Sango frowned a bit. "When are those two dimwits gonna arrive?"
No sooner than those words left her mouth, a hand crept up behind her and gave her butt a tight squeeze.
"Sango, you are looking more lovely than usual. Ah yes, those exercises are definitely working for you!"
The next event happened so fast that to a normal person it was a blur of red and purple. But to those who witnessed Sango's rage before, it was all perfectly predictable.
Sango's eyes shone an eerie color before her tightly fisted hand pounded into Miroku's face. After the brilliant performance, Sango finished her technique off with a slap to the face.
"Roku! What the fuck are you doing?"
A black haired boy emerged from around the corner.
He scowled. "Do we have to fuckin' cut your arms off or something? Show some restraint!"
Kagome bit her lip. It was Inuyasha. That boy she had a crush on. He was so popular and cool. Thinking about it, he kind of reminded her of Bankotsu. Both were beautiful to look at and both had the entire females' population's attention.Weird…
"Hey Inuyasha!" Kagome smiled at him, pushing the topic at the back of her mind.
"Yo, Kagome," he replied casually as he walked over to the group.
His gaze was directed at the boy twitching on the ground. "Miroku, get the fuck up."
"Gladly!" he grinned cheekily.
"'Roku, you're strange. No matter how many times girls beat the crap out of you, you always seem so lively and happy. Like now. Despite the fact you have a black eye and a large hand print tattooed on your face, you're still happy," Haru commented. "What's your secret?"
"Ah well, Ishikawa-kun, you still have much to learn. The key is to imagine it differently. Imagine that the girl is not beating the hell out of you for honoring her bodily beauty but for other reasons," Miroku wiggled his eyebrows which earned him a punch in the other eye happily contributed by Sango Hiraikotsu.
An indescribable gagging look formed on Haru's face. Kagome began giggling.
"Get over yourself. So where are we gonna head off to?" Inuyasha asked.
Still recovering from her laughing fit, Kagome inhaled deeply.
"Since it was Sango's idea, I think she should pick the general schedule," Kagome said.
"Okay everyone, how about this? First we'll get a bite to eat," Sango began.
"Please! Anything but the pizza parlor!" Kagome begged.
Haru nodded his head. He'd seen more than enough pizza to last his entire lifetime.
"Ramen!" Inuyasha cried out.
"Fine fine! I don't feel like going to any more Chinese restaurants right now so how 'bout that little okonomiyaki shop? The one run by that teen girl?"
"Ukyou? She's another beauty!" Miroku beamed.
"I have an idea!" Kagome announced happily. All eyes went to her. "There's a karaoke bar near here! First we can eat at Ukyou's, then we'll hit the karaoke bar and sing like hell and then we can come back here to play some video games! Haru left a bunch of his fighting games at my place last time he visited."
"So that's where they've been," Haru muttered under his breath.
"Fighting games? Now that's what I'm talking about!" Inuyasha smirked.
"Sounds good to me," Miroku said, putting in his two cents.
"Great! Let's go eat some okonomiyaki and then go to the karaoke bar." Sango clapped her hands together.
"Gods! I'm so stuffed!" Inuyasha groaned contentedly.
"I'm bloated, too," Kagome smiled.
"I'm happy," Sango rubbed her belly.
"I'm aching," Miroku rubbed his head. He got smacked by Ukyou's gargantuan spatula over the head several times. "Beauties hurt."
"I'm broke!" Haru sobbed pathetically.
"Let's go to the karaoke bar."
A few blocks later everyone walked into the 'Kara! Kara! Oke!' karaoke bar.
"I wonder what song I should sing?" Kagome looked through the song files.
"I like Boa. She's hot," Miroku laughed and leaned deeper into the cushioning.
"Well Miroku! If you can't sing Boa don't comment on Boa!" Sango snapped.
"Do I have to sing, Kagome?" Haru complained.
"Yep!"
"I knew you'd say that!"
"Then if you knew, why'd ya ask?"
Haru kept silent.
"Don't let Inuyasha near the mic," Miroku laughed. "He sings like a cow on crack!"
Inuyasha glared at Miroku. "I don't, you effin liar!"
"Ooh! This song, Kagome! Sing this one!" Sango pointed at it.
Kagome peered over Sango's shoulder.
"Are you making fun of me?"
Sango just grinned.
"Come on! This is so you!"
"Mischievous Kiss? I know you're trying to say something! I just haven't figured out what!"
"I dunno what you're talking about! So… Please?"
"No!"
"Fine! Then I'm going to tell a certain someone about your fancy about him!" Sango blinked innocently at Kagome.
"You are an evil blackmailer!" Kagome seethed.
"Go get 'em, tiger!" Sango placed the microphone in Kagome's hand and gave her shoulder a hard pat.
Kagome took a deep breath.
"Handsome whenever I'm tired
So handsome you're the one I want
Handsome the blanket on the bed
You're handsome coil yourself around it!"
Kagome blinked. "That voice…"
Haru blinked at Kagome. "Kagome, what's up?"
Sango frowned. "Kagome, what's wrong?"
"That voice…" Kagome began. It was that high pitched voice that called her a pizza bitch! The one at the café and the one at that nice house. "That son of a bitch!" Kagome growled, clenching the microphone tighter.
Worried that it might break under pressure, Haru carefully pried the innocent victim of Kagome's growing rage out of her hand.
Inuyasha and Miroku blinked and leaned deeper into the seating. They had never heard Kagome swear like that. And they were freaking out. BIG TIME!
Right before Sango was going ask her again, Kagome quickly said, "He's the son of a bitch that called me a pizza bitch! I'd recognize that hellish sound anywhere! He sounds like a moose going through puberty!"
Haru leaned over to the next booth. "They're just three guys karaoke-ing, what's wrong?"
"One of them! He has a long braid, right?" Sango asked, recalling Kagome's disruptive conversation about the hot waiter boy being gay.
"Erm," Haru peered over. "Yep, and the other's a bald guy." Haru blinked at the bald man. "Head's pretty shiny. What the hell does he polish it with? Whatever it is, I need to use that for my shoes," Haru thought out loud.
Sango looked over at Kagome.I can't tell if she wants to kill or chat with him. Jeez! "Kagome, don't do anything rash!" she responded quickly.
Kagome smirked. "Why not? I'm not in work so I can't get fired and he's not in work so he can't kick me out. It's a win win situation, Sango!"
"You're right about the fact that you can't get fired and he can't kick you out of the Ryuu Kafe but you forget to mention the fact that you can get kicked out of Kara! Kara! Oke! Duh!" Sango retorted.
"Kagome, isn't there a more peaceful solution to this?" Haru asked. He didn't like that Kagome was called a pizza bitch but he didn't feel in a combat kind of mood either.
"Haru! Not you too! He didn't even know me! And he called me a pizza bitch!"
"Kagome! Get over it!" Sango sighed.
"NO! Not until he apologizes!" Kagome growled pointing to the next booth.
"I feel like meeting this punk!" Inuyasha began cracking his knuckles. "Someone needs a beat down! And guess what? I'm up for the job!"
"No! I just want him to apologize! You can't go around beating people up!" Kagome said hastily, slowly regaining her normal composure. "I am mad that he called me a pizza bitch but I'm not gonna go and hang him for it! I'm sure I've been called worse."
"That's the Kagome we know and love." Haru smiled. "We're here to enjoy ourselves not worry! Let's karaoke first and then discuss this little issue later," Haru said.
"Hey quiet down, you dumbasses!"
Everyone one looked over.
A girlish male had two hands planted on his hips. "I amtrying to karaoke! Can't you see?"
Kagome bit down her tongue. Half of her wanted to rip his skull apart and the other half just wanted to apologize and sit down shyly.
Sadly though, little devil Kagome won this round.
"What's taking Jakotsu so long?" Bankotsu yawned loudly.
"Who knows who cares?" Renkotsu stated simply.
"Maybe we should check up on him. You know, Renkotsu, if it's a girl he might try to kill her, especially if she's with her boyfriend."
Renkotsu grunted.
"Fine, I'll go!" Bankotsu got up and walked over to where he found his friend.
"Hey, Jak, what's up?"
"Ooooh! You're SO cute!"
Bankotsu blinked. His friend jumped some black haired boy.
"Sorry about that," Bankotsu muttered.
"Bankotsu?"
Bankotsu looked around. "Hey it's you, Kagome."
The girl smiled nervously at him.
"Sorry about Jakotsu," Bankotsu walked over to Inuyasha and yanked Jakotsu off him.
"Bankotsu! Look! His name is Inuyasha! Isn't he cute?" Jakotsu grinned childishly.
"Kagome, you were right about him," Sango whispered to Kagome. Kagome nodded her head.
"I wish I wasn't."
Bankotsu stared at her. Did she think that he was gay like Suikotsu said?
"I assure you! It's nothing like that!" Bankotsu laughed nervously, waving his hand uneasily.
"Aniki, what's taking so long?"
Another man came by.
He's other man from the café! The one who was sweeping!
"Oh, hey," he said quietly, though surprise was evident in his voice. "Kagome, right?"
She nodded her head.
"Kagome, how do all these weird-asses know you?" Inuyasha demanded to know.
Kagome frowned angrily. "These 'weird-asses' were customers of mine today, Inuyasha. They also work at the café Sango and I go to eat lunch at."
"Ah, so is that where you've been hiding, Sango love?" Miroku smiled knowingly.
Sango scowled and smacked Miroku with the side of her hand.
"This is getting interesting…" Haru said quietly. The man obviously liked males. He wasn't about to get himself noticed willingly.
Jakotsu looked in Haru's direction.
Shit. I'm screwed.
"Oooh! He's cute!" Jakotsu squealed. "Bankotsu! You and Renkotsu can take off with the two bitches and you can leave me here with Inuyasha, the hot little boy, and the sexy monk!"
Bankotsu suppressed a frown. "Jak, no way."
Renkotsu took a seat next to Kagome. "Don't worry. Jakotsu calls all girls bitches. He just despises women. That's why he works in the kitchen," he spoke casually, like this was an everyday conversation he had had to memorize.
Kagome nodded obediently. Okay, that explains the pizza bitch thing and all the make up but what about Bankotsu?
"Only Jakotsu is a homosexual. Aniki and I are heterosexuals. We are 'straight' as most teenagers put it bluntly," Renkotsu clarified.
Kagome nodded with a small "Oh…"
Sango grinned. This was going to be fun.
"Hey, Bankotsu, is it?"
The boy with the long braid turned around at the call of his name.
"All of us are going to head off to Kagome's house after this. If you aren't doing anything, why doncha join us?"
Bankotsu was going to say something before Jakotsu piped up. "You wenches are gonna be there, right?"
Sango's mouth grew into a malicious grin. "Yes we are. But so are Haru, Miroku, AND Inuyasha. And Kagome's mom won't be there."
Jakotsu's eyes glowed. "EEEEEEEEKK! Bankotsu! C'mon! We HAVE to go! My baby's gonna be there! Inu-chan!"
Bankotsu nodded. Why not? They weren't going anywhere after this. Why ruin a perfectly good Saturday night? "Sure, why not?"
Sango smiled and Kagome sat there dumbfounded. Sango just invited some guy, okay a friend, over to her house without her permission. Not that she needed it but. Well, this could be fun, right? Hopefully?
"Well, Kagome? You still owe us a good performance," Sango smiled.
Kagome's eyes bore into the ground. They glanced once into Sango's eyes and the two girls held a telepathic conversation.
You planned this! This is your doing, you bitch!
No need to thank me, Kag-baby!
Kagome began chewing on her lower lip. She gave Sango a quick glare and picked up the microphone. "Anyone?" she smiled. She was not about to sing in front of Bankotsu for reasons she had yet to come up with.
Shyness… Yeah... That was it.
Jakotsu jumped up. "Me! Me!" Jakotsu grabbed the microphone from Kagome, who sat down in between Sango and Bankotsu. "Inuyasha, come and karaoke with meeee!"
Inuyasha glared at Jakotsu. "Fuck no!" He grumbled folding his arms stubbornly. He was not about to go up there and karaoke with some freak that digs men. Not even in the seventh level of hell!
Jakotsu just smiled and jumped on Inuyasha. "Then I'll come to you, Inu-chan!" Jakotsu giggled childishly.
Inuyasha's red face and attempts to pull Jakotsu off of him failed miserably but made almost everyone laugh.
Kagome began to tear from all the laughing.
Bankotsu smiled. "You'll never get Jakotsu off of you. It's impossible. Believe me. I've tried."
Sango smiled cheerfully.
Somewhat content? Good! Good! I'll try to write more but don't expect too much; school is starting after all.
I just want to really thank everyone who read & reviewed "Ansatsusha Kafe". I cannot begin to tell you how much I love your comments! So instead, I'll tell you something you'd prefer to hear: Chapter Five is on its way! Lol!
