Overtime
chapter 15

"Alright!" Kagome shot out of bed the next day. "I'm all ready to go!" Cured, she skipped around her place preparing fro an exciting day at the workplace.

"It's...customer appreciation day!"

Kagome strolled into the store and dropped her stuff on the table in front of Sango, who was slouched down over the front desk on a stool.

"Hey Sango!" Kagome chirped, patting her on the back.

"Hi Kagome, glad you're feeling better," she replied, not moving.

"Thanks!" Kagome's face dropped slightly. "Um, are you alright?"

Sango put her head on the desk and reached two hands in front of her to scratch helplessly along the counter. "So...tired!" she complained.

"But..." Kagome looked very concerned all of a sudden. "Don't you know it's—"

"I know, I know," Sango waved a hand to dismiss the rest of her sentence. "Customer appreciation day," she said the name with dread.

"Oh...okay! Well if you know." Kagome smiled. "I'm going to go put up signs, I hope you feel better Sango!" She started to walk away but then quickly turned around. "Oh! Do you know where I can find the—"

"Kouga has them."

"Thanks!"

Inuyasha came in minutes later, passing Kagome on her way to the shoe department. As she went by, she shut her eyes and looked away from him, letting out a pointed hmph.

"Huh?" He was surprised at first at her lack of manners but then just as quickly got over it. Being his childish self he did the same thing and the two continued walking.

"Hello there, how may I—Oh hey Kagome!" Kouga greeted her when she jogged up to the departments black desk.

"Hey, I'm looking for the customer appreciation day signs. Sango says you have them, Kouga."

He smiled at her, pushing some papers under the desk.

"Oh yes I do, and I'd be more than happy to give them to someone as gorgeous as you, and you know what?" He didn't wait for an answer. "I think you should let me put them up for you so you don't injure that beautiful body."

"But, I want to put them up." Kagome tried to ignore his flattery.

"No really, you shouldn't. I'll go." He picked up a small bound book in one hand and grabbed a large sign with the other. Before he could get away Kagome grabbed at guidebook from HR.

"Let me help."

"No, it's fine."

"But I want to do it Kouga!"

"Well, so do I!"

She stopped. "You selfish idiot, there's enough stuff there for two!"

Kouga waited for a second, pondering the idea. "Shotty this sign!" he yelled, snatching back the book and running away. She shook a fist in his direction, then quickly ran after him.

Inuyasha stood with a paintbrush and a can of yellow paint in front of the large glass windows that made up the front walls of the store. He was painting 'Customer Appreciation Day' on the window. Kagome started putting a sign up next to him. Kouga went straight out the store to put the fold out sign by the front doors.

Inuyasha and Kagome worked in silence for a bit until— "Hi Inuyasha," Kagome smiled and then moved over a bit to put another fifty-percent-off poster up.

"Hello," he said casually, not looking at her but also hardly concentrating on the painting. "Glad you're feeling better." He continued painting letters on the glass.

"What was that?" She didn't quite catch what he had said.

"Nevermind," he quickly mumbled, feeling embarrassed.

"Okay, okay," she laughed a bit and pressed down on the tape to seal the poster to the glass. "Perfect!" She exclaimed, clasping her hands together. She walked outside to get Kouga. When she got to him, he was adjusting the sign to perfect symmetry with the ceiling and floor. When he was finished he looked up to see what Inuyasha was writing on the window, then burst out laughing.

"Wh-what's so funny?" Kagome followed his gaze to the glass reading' Custumar Appreciation Day'. She knocked on the window, startling Inuyasha and yelled through the glass:

"Inuyasha, you know you—"

"Dumbass!" Kouga butt in.

"Why are you—" Inuyasha looked at his writing and blanched. "Damn it all!" Inuyasha's scream echoed through the mall. Kouga and Kagome snickered, and joined him inside.

"Ummm..." Kagome didn't know what to say. "We can get this fixed, don't wor—"

"This is all your fault!" Inuyasha spun around and pointed at her.

"Hey! Don't pin it on me!" Kagome pointed back at him.

"You distracted me!" He yelled.

"I distracted you? I barely spoke to you!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Kouga stepped in between them. "There's no arguing because its clear that—" He looked at them both. "The blame falls clearly on Inuyasha's shoulders," he finished.

"What did you say?" Inuyasha shook with rage.

Sango waltzed over to the window, oblivious. "Hey what's up with all the—oh wow. Well, you sure messed up good." Sango scratched her chin.

"Augh!" Inuyasha growled. "I can fix it!" He said picking up his paintbrush, sounding desperate.

"What are you gonna do? Just, scribble it out?" Kagome raised an eyebrow.

Before Inuyasha could get too angry, Sango stepped in. "Just leave it Inuyasha! It's fine! Its not like people aren't going to shop here just because of a silly spelling mistake, right?"

Everyone nodded and then went silent, until two passer-by's in the mall pierced the quiet.

"Sasuke-kun, look! It's Sportsmart, wanna come in with me? And look it's Customer App—what the? Oh my God!" The cheery voice outside shifted to something horrified.

"As if I would Demean myself so low as to purchasing my Kunai knives at such a despicable location. The employee's can't even spell correctly." Said a young, mature voice.

"You're right, let's go," said the young girl.

Back in the store, everyone sweatdropped.

"Eh-heh-heh..." Sango laughed nervously. "Well that's it for me! Gotta go help Hoji with the paint spill in isle four!"
