Chapter 2 – The Two New Employees

--

Throughout the week, Inu-yasha grew to like his job. He was taught to work the till, communicate with customers, and his fellow employees, and various other 'grocery store' talents.

"Inu-yasha." Kiri came up to him as he waited on the sidewalk for Kagome.

"Uh huh, what is it, Kiri?" he looked down at the fairly short girl.

"Well, how was your week of work with us?" he didn't respond. "How did you like it?"

"It was good. I never did anything so…"

"So…?" she urged him on.

"So exiting."

"Inu-yasha!" they both turned their heads to see Kagome walking towards them. "Ready to go?"

"Uh, yeah, sure."

--

"Who was that?" Kagome asked as she unpacked her backpack in her so she could do her homework.

"Who?" Inu-yasha asked after a moment.

"That girl you were talking to when I met you at the store."

"Oh, Kiri." He mumbled.

"Who?" she asked, she missed what he said.

"Kiri."

"She looks a lot like Kagura, don't you think?"

"I guess."

--

"It's Saturday, Inu-yasha." She shook him with her foot as he lay on the floor beside her bed. "We should get back to the others."

"It's what?" he replied, as he rubbed his eyes and stretched.

"Saturday. You know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The days of the week." She said, hoping he wouldn't ask, 'what are a 'Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.'

"Kagome."

"Eeek! I'm not explaining 'week'!" she screamed.

"I know what the days of the week are, dummy!" he laughed.

"Well you ask about everything else!" she snapped.

"I do not!" he jumped towards her.

"SIT!" she yelled, and Inuyasha fell on top of her. "Inuyasha!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't say 'sit'!" he replied. Suddenly the both noticed that their heads were close together, only a few inches of air parted them; they both turned their heads away, blushing.

--

"You're leaving again, Kagome?" Sango asked as they neared the bone-eaters well.

"Yeah, my mid term is coming up, I want to study for it."

"That's too bad." Miroku replied. "Oh well, what can we do about it?"

"Are you going too, Inuyasha?" Shippo asked as he hoped off of Miroku's shoulder.

"Uh huh."

--

"Kiri?"

"Yes, Master?"

"Go, find him, now."

"Yes, Master."

--

"Good bye, Inuyasha." Kagome smiled as they neared the store.

"See you after school." He replied.

"Yeah, see you, and don't cause any trouble, ok?"

"Yeah, I know." He walked into the store after adjusting his new, blue pants, and clean white shirt. "Why do I have to wear this crappy, tight son of a bitch outfit?"


"Oh, hello Inuyasha, right on time again, I see." The manager turned to see Inuyasha adjusting the long blue tie he wore around his neck. "Uh, that has to go."

"What?" Inuyasha said surprised, he hadn't heard what the manager had said.

"That necklace has to go." Inuyasha looked down at the necklace that Kaede, the old village woman had put around his neck. He cured that necklace, and wished it would vanish, he hated Kagome always yelling 'sit', even though half the time he didn't deserve it. "Your necklace, Inuyasha." The manager said again.

"Sorry, tried to, can't." Inuyasha replied and walked past the manager and to the till.

"Inuyasha!" he turned his head towards the 8th isle.

"What is it, Kiri?" he yelled back to her.

"Come here, I'd like you to meet someone!" he walked over to Kiri, and she led him to the back.

"Hello." They both said in unison.

"My name is Kanni." The bleach blonde haired girl said. She wore the recommended work outfit and had skin almost as white as the snow. (A/N: yeah, that's an old saying)

"And mine is Kohaju." The boy beside Kanni said. He also wore the recommended work outfit, but it was tidier than Inuyasha's, and he had short, brown hair and soft brown eyes.

"These are the two new employees. Make friends, and I'll go open the store, okay?"

"Yeah, whatever." Inuyasha replied, then as Kiri ran off he turned to the two young employees. "I'm Inuyasha…y'know, you two look like some people I know…"

"Do we?" Kohaju asked in a shocked voice, which startled Inuyasha.

"Hmm…"

"I believe there is nobody who looks like me." Kanni replied sourly. "I am one and only."

"Yup, you're both angels." He mumbled, then turned around on his heel and went to the till to help the first customer.

As he rang the items through, he saw Kiri dash to the back, and the two other come out a second later.

"What the hell?" he looked down and swore, startling the old lady customer and almost giving her a heart attack.

The old lady gasped. "Young man, why do you swear like that? You almost gave me my third heart attack."

"Oh my god!" he screamed, making the old lady almost fall backwards.

"What is it, Inuyasha?" Kiri came suddenly beside Inuyasha, who was looking down in awe at one of the items in his hands that the old lady had put on the conveyer belt.

"Damn it!" he yelled again. "Why didn't I know about this sooner?"

"Inuyasha!" Kiri yelled at him, finally catching his attention. "What the hell are you so worked up about?"

"You never told me, Kiri! I trusted you!"

"Never told you what?"

"You promised me that if a new flavor of ramen came out, you'd tell me! And here it is," he practically shoved the plastic container in her face, "beef and chicken, with teriyaki sauce! Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Ramen? Is that all you worked up about? What about the customer?" Kiri almost slapped him, but he caught her hand, making her blush.

"Speaking of the old crow, where did she go?" they both leaned over the till to see the old lady, out cold on the floor.

"Inuyasha, call the hospital." Kiri said calmly.

"What? I still don't know what a 'call' is yet, and I'm sure that 'hospital' isn't in my vocabulary!" he responded.

Well, I made Kagome a little bitch last chapter, so I made her sweeter this one, but again, hoped you liked it and please review, thanks.
