Kagome watched wearily through her window as her friend picked up his cell. His face had done a complete circle, probably from what the person on the other line had said. He quickly shut his phone and ran straight to the motorcycle, not bothering to even pulled his sunglasses down.
She narrowed her eyes. Something was going on with Bankotsu that he wasn't telling her. Acting stupid was one thing she had perfected; she could act like a complete moron if she needed to. Very few people could tell the difference, one of those people being Sango Hiraikotsu herself. Although to most people that little trick seems to be incredibly ridiculous, Kagome knew better. Acting clueless had let her in on lots of information many other people didn't have access to. Acting dumb made other people less tense around her. That was good.
So naturally she had an eye for anything overly suspicious.
For now, she wouldn't do anything; she would just leave this information in a folder and return to it when she next needed it.
A girl dashed in through the swinging door. "Hey Bankotsu."
The boy smiled at her. "I'm done with my break. You can take yours now if you want."
Kagome grinned. "Thanks, but I'll serve a few more tables first." Kagome looked around, searching for something. "Hey where's Strawberry eggs?"
Raised one eyebrow he chuckled slightly, pointing to the room down.
Before she even took a step Jakotsu walked in. "Why are you still here?"
Kagome scowled. "I work here! Er, I volunteer here!"
Bankotsu sighed. It was a long day; he really didn't feel up to hearing Kagome and Jakotsu's bickering. Admitting that though, their comments and colorful language did spice life up and taught him phrases he'd never even dreamed of, but one tends to get tired after a couple of days.
Bankotsu walked out of the door.
"CUNT SUCKER!"
"DICK MOLESTER!"
Some of the customers blinked questioningly at the waiter, who stood in the way of the door's, and racket's, path.
"Guys!" he hissed.
"BALL SMASHER!"
"FRUITY TOOTY-ASS!"
Getting ferociously aggravated, Bankotsu screamed thunderously at them. "WILL YOU DAMN PEOPLE CUT IT OUT!"
Utter silence replaced the deafening screeching noise.
Two people walked out, one a girl and one a boy.
Kagome grinned watching Jakotsu. She had a perfectly bruised cheek and a few scratches on her arm.
Jakotsu, on the other hand, had obviously lost this fight. He had a pair of colorful black eyes and was leaning over, holding himself.
"Bitch!" he hissed. The pain was unbearable, even for one of the strongest men in Japan. "S'cuse me, Aniki," he whispered, crawling to the nearest restroom.
Bankotsu looked at Kagome. She sniggered triumphantly, planting her hands on her hips and raising her head up proudly. "I knew all those long painful days at the martial arts camp with Sango would pay off some day!"
"You realize that the chef is now out of order?"
Kagome blinked. "Uh, oops?" she giggled nervously, before skipping off merrily.
Kagome went back into the kitchen to clean her face out.
She held out two index fingers and pushed the edge of her lips up, making her mouth into a curvy and big cheesy smile. Holding it like that, she ran out side and began serving tables.
"Hello and welcome to Ryuu Kafe! I'm Kagome and I'll be your waitress!"
The boy looked amusingly up at her. "Kagome-love, don't you ever get tired of saying the same stuff again and again?"
Kagome gave him an honest smile. "Yeah, but you know. A job's a job."
He grinned at her. "I'll be having the usual, Kagome-love."
Kagome nodded her head and ran into the kitchen.
"Hey, Jakotsu!"
The man turned around. "What do you want, bitch?"
"Shut up. I need two orders. Both are from men, so don't bother poisoning them."
Jakotsu looked relieved.
"One order is a peppered steak, large."
Jakotsu nodded. "And the other?"
"The other is a Mongolian Beef, large extra spicy. It's from a super hot guy." Kagome whistled. "And he's single from the looks of it. Maybe I should try my hand at him." Kagome wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Jakotsu's eyes began to sparkle. "REALLY?" he squealed girlishly. "Omigod!" Jakotsu began to cook at an inhuman speed, flipping broiling steaks over, adding vegetables, and that's pretty much all a normal person's eyes could see. In a matter of five minutes, both order were complete.
Jakotsu added another slice of Mongolian Beef to the platter. He also tossed in two extra fortune cookies. "Give him my number!" Jakotsu smiled. He handed Kagome a slip of paper. "Tell him it's a special from the master, single, handsome chef."
Kagome grinned. "Will do, Jak!" Kagome walked out of the kitchen and laid against the wall.
"Jakotsu, you are so dumb!" She giggled. She walked over to Bankotsu.
Bankotsu looked over his shoulder. "Hey, Kagome. What's up? You gonna be taking your break anytime soon?"
Kagome nodded. "Yeah, if it's alright I'll be taking my break now."
Bankotsu said, "Sure, Go right ahead."
Kagome walked over to the table where her friend sat. "So, Kouga was it?" she grinned.
He snorted. "You only see me every day, Kagome-love."
She laughed. "I know! Just kidding!"
"Can I sue your ass for being too damn sexy?"
"Har har! Kouga, bite your tongue!" she smiled sarcastically.
"Okay, then can I sue you for taking forever with my order?"
"No. I'm on break." Kagome stuck her tongue out at him.
"So, did that bitch Biology teach give us any homework today?"
Kagome gave him a straight expression. "Please tell me that you're joking."
He shook his head.
"Kouga! She gave us an assignment in the beginning of the week, baka!"
Kagome shoved some food in her mouth. "Damn! Strawberry eggs may suck male balls but he cooks like hell!" Kagome complimented in her own funny way.
Kouga gave her a very, very confused look.
"Very long story. Deep, deep history!" Kagome said swallowing another chunk of meat.
"Hey, Kagome! Did Sango tell you about that teen party they're holding next week?"
Kagome shook her head, the noodle dangling from her mouth swaying in sync with her head.
"Well, a huge group of sophomores, including me, are going to throw a bad ass party! You should come!"
Kagome smiled. "Ya know? I'd love to go. But-"
"KAGOME! BANKOTSU SAYS YOU'RE TURNED ON!"
Kagome whipped her head around at the sound of her name. But as soon as she did that she instantly regretted it. All eyes were glued to her figure.
"Erm, hi?" Kagome forced a smile on her face and waved a trembling hand in their direction. "Heh, no show here people…"
Kagome bolted into the kitchen.
"JAKOTSU!" she hissed. Her face was a dark shade of crimson, from angry or embarrassment, one could not tell and her hands were fisted so tight they were turning a pale purplish color.
Jakotsu turned around. "Yes, pizza bitch?" he said innocently.
Kagome scowled. "Why did you do that?"
Jakotsu laughed. "Bankotsu told me to."
Kagome turned to Bankotsu, eyes flickering incomparable hate.
Bankotsu was sitting on a seat which was leaning back with his feet on the table. "Don't look at me like that. I told Jak to tell you your break was over," he snorted loudly. "Not that you were turned on."
Kagome glared at Jakotsu. He stuck his tongue out at her and continued cooking.
"Well, I got to hurry up," Bankotsu got up and walked outside. "Kagome, you should hurry up, too."
Both people watched Bankotsu leave. "Jakotsu, is it me or is Bankotsu a bit pissed off right now?"
Jakotsu gave her a sideways glance. "It's you."
"Gee, thanks," she muttered, flicking him a thin, perfect finger.
"Heh, you ask wench," he growled, cooking some shrimp and seafood.
"Shut it, Strawberry ball sucker," Kagome snarled. "I'm not in the mood right now." She began walking out of the room.
"You're never in the mood," he smirked quietly. Quickly and skillfully, Jakotsu locked on to his target and launched a piece of food.
SCORE!
Hehehe, Jakotsu cackled happily. Just wait til you take your break, little pizza bitch! Your food's gonna be so drugged you won't be able to tell if you're looking through your ass or your eyes!
Jakotsu stopped laughing for a minute. "Wait one second... I just call her from..."
"Shit..."
Bankotsu walked through the kitchen door, notepad in hand. "Hey Kag."
"Hey Bankotsu."
He smiled at her, turned forward and then did a double take. "What the fuck? Was that a shrimp in her hair?"
Jakotsu laughed viciously. "Nope. That's pizza bitch's new hair accessory."
Bankotsu stared at Jakotsu for a while. "Yeah right… Anyway, can we have a small Pork Chop Suey?"
Jakotsu nodded. "Of course my beloved Aniki!"
Bankotsu began walking out the door. "And Jak?"
"Yes?"
"Without the worms this time."
"ANIKI!" Jakotsu howled. "You're no fun!"
"Hey, business was pretty slow today, huh?"
"Yeah it was," Bankotsu replied. He dug in his pockets and pulled out the motorcycle keys. "Want a lift?" Bankotsu grinned at her.
Kagome beamed at him and began following him obediently. Something nearby moved and caught Kagome's attention. She turned her head and squinted her eyes. "Kouga? Is that you?"
The boy leaning against the brick wall shot her a smirking grin. He wore a tight brown shirt and a pair of black loose jeans that really brought out his dark hair. "The one and only, at your service!"
"Hey! Nice shirt!" Kagome walked over to him and playfully poking Kouga's chest. "Hey, Bankotsu! Look! Kouga's here!"
Bankotsu stared at him callously. "Yeah and?"
Kagome looked taken aback. Her face completely changed then something occurred to her. "Oh! Hehehe! Silly me! Bankotsu!" She said looking at him. "This is Kouga!" Her hand pointed to the boy leaning against the wall. "Kouga. Bankotsu. Bankotsu. Kouga."
"Hey!" Kouga waved at Bankotsu, who, other than shrugging his shoulders, didn't acknowledge him.
Turning back to Kouga, Kagome smiled at him. "Kouga-kun, what are you doing here?"
Kouga grinned playfully. "Why? Kagome-love, I came here to escort you to your home. Why else would I have come back here?"
Kagome laughed. "It's alright Kouga. I already have an escort!" As if on cue, her coffee brown eyes glanced over to Bankotsu, who was sitting on the azure streaked bike. "Bankotsu's been dropping me off after Ryuu's closed up so you don't have to worry."
Kouga looked over Kagome's shoulder, glaring at the smirking man. Kouga narrowed his eyes. Stupid fucker…A tiny smile crept on Kouga's face, but he quickly hid it away. "Kagome-love, is that right?"
Kagome nodded her head.
Kouga heaved a sigh. "Alright then, I'll just take the train back home." Kouga turned and began walking away sullenly.
Train? "Kouga! Wait!"
Kouga blinked at Kagome. "Yeah?"
"You came so far just to pick me up?"
Kouga smiled weakly at her. "I just thought that you had to walk home alone. With all the reports of young beautiful missing girls, I thought that you might want some company to accompany you back home, safe and sound."
Kagome's lips quivered. Aww. How sweet of him… I can't just let him run over here and realize that he never needed to pick me up. At a snail's pace, Kagome turned around, smiling that small smile she gave Bankotsu whenever she mess up a customer's order.
Bankotsu searched through Kagome's eyes. It was damn palpable what she was going to tell him.
"Um, Bankotsu?"
"Your mom's gonna kick my ass," he stated quietly.
Kagome chuckled evenly. "I told you, Bankotsu! It was only that one day when she watched the entire late night marathon of CSI," Kagome argued. "And forgot to drink her morning coffee," she added shyly.
He raised his eyebrow.
"I know Kouga from school! He's in a bunch of my classes!"
Bankotsu did not look convinced.
Kagome huffed loudly. "Okay! Fine! Whatever! You can yell at me all you want when I come in tomorrow at the Dragon Café! Go ahead! But right now I'm going with Kouga! Man! You act like my dad!" Kagome sighed dramatically and began walking off with Kouga, who sneered at Bankotsu teasingly.
Kagome turned around. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay? You can have my head then!" Kagome told him. Instantly after she said that, she turned to Kouga and began chatting away joyously, like that little disagreement only a few seconds ago never happened.
Watching her carefully, he shook his head, causing his braid to whip around wildly.
In a low quiet voice he began saying something.
But I don't want to be your dad. I want to be your…
