The Boyfriend Files.
Chapter 2
She woke up on the living room floor, TV remote clutched in hand, and the phone screaching like nobody's business.
"Who ever you are, you better have a damn good connection to Santa Clause, cuz I'm not feeling very forgiving.." She mummbled after managing to press the "ON" button.
"Kagome!" Sango screamed from the other line. "Did you fall asleep watching cartoons again?"
"Nooo. "She lied, rubbing her eyes and trying to figure out what time it was.
Silence met her answer, and on the other end of the phone Sango rolled her eyes and impatiently tapped her foot.
"...Fine! I was watching cartoons! Are you happy?" Kagome yelled at the phone, turned of the TV and closed her eyes.
"No, I am not happy. Do you know why I am not happy? Because my break is in five minutes and you are still not here because you passed out watching the stupid mouse get chased by a cat!" Sango screeched into the phone.
Kagome winced and cursed Sango's ability to know everything about her life. "But Sango, he almost caught it this time..." She whinned.
"Ka-Go-Me!" Sango yelled into the phone, scaring off a few customers, and not particularly caring. "You, are getting over here in five minutes, or starving until tommorow!" The line went dead and Kagome cursed again.
Damn everything.

She burst through the doors of her building, the shirt still only halfway on as she struggled to pull it down and tie shoes at the same time.
She didn't really care what she looked like, but as soon as Sango hung up, she realised just how HUNGRY she was.
So, grabbing a pair of shorts (because they are easy to put on) and a shirt (that was more then a little complicated) she shoved her feet in her running shoes and left.
Finaly, the laces were working with her, and with a few tugs, she was off down the street, the bag with her uniform bumping against her side.
'2 minutes, 2 minutes!' she chanted, trying to avoid bumping into anyone bitchy looking.
'Ah, I can see it! Oh thank god!' she rejoiced in her head.
She ran faster, going straight for the back door and colapsing on the steps.
"I should so be on some sort of track team." she gasped out, holding her stomach.
Sango came out with 2 slices of pizza in her hand, and a bottle of iced tea sticking out of her pocket. "It's alive!" She laughed, as Kagome glared at her.
"You knew I would run all the way here didn't you?" she accused.
"But of course!" Sango smiled, handing her a slice of pizza. "I am, after all the genius out of the two of us!" She beamed.
"You are so not!" Kagome protested, chewing on the pizza.
"Ah Ah Ah!" Sango shook her head and waved the iced tea bottle in front of Kagome, watching as her eyes followed it.
"...You're the genius." she sighed, snagging the bottle and popping it open.
They sat on the steps for a few minutes, eating and talking.
"So.." Sango started conversationaly.
"Horrible." Kagome answered, not needing to hear anything but the edge in Sango's voice to know the question.
"That bad, huh?" Sango giggled, chewing on the pizza crust.
"You have no idea. He barely knew which end is which. Its like he's never done this before." She confessed, staring off into the darkening sky.
"Maybe he hasn't." Sango laughed, sipping the iced tea.
Kagome waved her hand around, dissmissing the idea. "You'd think he wouldn't brag so much."
"I told you guys on the internet are bogus." she looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'm actualy surprized you aren't dead somewhere in a ditch. I was so sure he was gonna kill you after this is all good and done with.."
"Sango!" Kagome screamed at her friend. "You thought I was gonna die and you didn't even tell me! Plus you know he couldn't kill me, I'm too lovable." She beamed.
"Yeah, and with your 'wonderful' ability to 'tell the thruth' to all the wrong people, I was sure you'd live to be a hundred." She looked at Kagome, seeing the funny sparkle in her eyes. "Okay, spill. what else did you do?"
"Nothing.." Though by the smile on her face, it was hardly nothing. She rolled her eyes when Sango didn't cave and sighed. "I stole about 600 dollars from him." she grinned.
"Oh good Lord." Sango moaned, covering her eyes with her hand.
"Oh come on." Kagome laughed. "You know I'll share."
"Really now?" Sango peaked between her fingers.
"But of course!" She laughed. "You are my partner in crime, how could I not?"
"Ahh," Sango sighed, her arm slung around Kagome's shoulder, and she smiled. "Then all is good with the world."
They laughed, watching the moon peak between the clouds.

Once again she was running, running, and running. Maybe she should have given track a chance when she was still in high school. She might have been remembered for something more then just dropping out.
In the distance, she saw the bright lights, and sighed in relief. She might be on time today.
When she walked in through the back door she could already hear Kagura yelling for her.
"The Princess has arrived!" She yelled out, laughing at Kaguras expression.
"Alright Princess, in your uniform right now, before Naraku has my head for not having people at work on time." Kagura pushed her towards the back room.
"I'm going, I'm going." She laughed.
She pulled on the ridiculously slutty skirt, leave her shorts on just to piss off the few unlucky customers who always tried to look up people's skirts. The tank top went on next, then the small tie around pounch where her pen and paper were stored for those particularly bitchy customers who didn't trust her to remember the orders. 'Good thing too, I wouldn't trust myself with food either' she thought.
Kagura walked in behind her, pushing her down in the chair in front of the mirror, and started brushing her hair. "So, I hear you're quite rich this week."
"How the hell did you know so quickly?" Kagome screamed, turning around to stare at Kagura.
"Sango called me as soon as you left." She laughed, turning her back to face the mirror.
"Oh.." she said. "Well, yes. I'm quite well off right now, thank you. So I was thinking me, you and Sango should go out for a girls night out next week. We haven't done that since.." She trailed off. Her eyes found Kagura's in the mirror.
"Since we dropped out of highschool." Kagura finished. "It's okay, you know. You can talk about it."
"Yeah.." Kagome started. "You know, I think the whole thing just brought us closer, more then anything."
"Yeah.." Kagura laughed darkly. "Cuz usualy when someone gets knocked up by accident, it's a good thing."
"Kagura.." Kagome started warningly.
"Kagome.." Kagura countered. "I know it screwed all of us over when you guys had to drop out with me. Okay? I'll find a way to pay you guys back one day."
"You did! Look, you got me this job!" Kagome laughed.
"Oh yes. Because it's everybody's dreamjob to dress like a whore and get groped by drunk guys while they try to work. I'm sure this is what you've always dreamed about." Kagura finished sarcastically, red eyes sparkling. "Anyways, you -" she spun the chair around to look at Kagome, and smiled. "Are finished! Now get out of here before Naraku realizes you're missing."
She sighed and slid out of the chair. Walking over to the door, she stopped and ran back to hug Kagura.
"It wasn't your fault." She whispered, before she ran out again.
Kagura sighed, leaning down to sit in the chair.
"Yes, it was."
