Angels

Chapter 4.

"Shimo-sama!" The three women stood from their reserved table in the coffee shop and wrapped slim arms gleefully around the old teacher.

"Ladies. My you look lovely. Sit, sit please, tell me, how was America?"

"Fun!" Rin chirped, sitting back down. The rest followed.

"Good, good. Have you all ordered anything?"

"No we were waiting for you Shimo-sama." Sango replied. Shimo smiled, laugh lines visible around his deep brown eyes.

"My dears let us order some tea, yes?" He nodded mainly to himself raising a wrinkled hand. A young man walked over, a neat red apron around his slim torso. All eyes, male and female single or not, stared at the odd man.

"Hello I'm 'Yasha, and I'll be your waiter this afternoon." Kagome's breath hitched in her throat, never had she seen a man so.. Gorgeous, so-

"Lady, your order." 'Yasha stated a cocky grin set in place. His eyes focused on her.

"So rude!" Kagome fumed staring at their waiter. "Of all the places to get dis-"

"You gonna give me your order or continue to rant?" He smiled as Kagome gaped wide-eyed at the handsome man. Quickly she recovered, giving her order through clenched teeth. "I'll just have some iced tea."

"With ice?" He asked.

"Yes with ice. You know.. Those tiny cubes of frozen water that are supposed to come WITH iced tea?? Though obviously not at tiny as your brain IQ." Kagome smiled staring up at the silver haired hunk. Rin let out a giggle. 'Yasha smiled liking a challenge. "Oh she's funny too. All right I'll get your iced tea WITH ice." He turned walking to the kitchen. Keep it in 'Yash, keep it in. Was his mantra. Moment later, he was back carrying a tray of drinks.

"Alright we have the caramel frappuccino, lemon tea, vanilla bean frap', and… iced tea with the cold ice for the cold lady." He stated the last part dryly, placing the four drinks in front of them all. "Enjoy!" He said smiling before walking again. Shimo-sama looked from the retreating form back to his student giving a slight shake of his head. Kagome caught his movement, her victorious grin soon dropping down to a regretful frown. "Forgive my rudeness 'Sama. He was asking for it."

"No my dear, honest flirting is fine." He stated getting a blush from Kagome and giggles from the other two.

"I was not! He- I mean I- don't get it wrong- no! He's a total ass and- no way no! Stop laughing!" Kagome sighed her lips forming a pout. "Alright, alright. 'Sama what is it you wanted to talk about?" Kagome asked, stealing Rin's Caramel Frap'.

"Oh yes of course." All laughing and teasing aside the old man sipped at his tea before continuing. "I wanted to talk to you- you must start over. Don't stand out; many people will be looking for you. The top thieves; that's you. There's a job, but I want to hold back a bit so you can all settle before I throw you back into the business." His gaze shifted to settle on each of them.

"Wait, we're top?" Rin asked fighting with Kagome for her coffee back. "I didn't know that."

"Yes, you are at the top. Are you guys' safe? The house, the school, the jobs?" He asked.

"All good 'Sama. Kagome and I love our new jobs- we work full time. Rin works part time and goes to school full time." Sango offered to assure their teacher.

"Good, good. Rin how's that goin-"

"'Sama the job? What is it?" Sango asked focusing on their teacher.

"Oh the job, I will not tell you anything. I don't want you being so uptight and trying to convince me you can do it."

"But we CAN." Rin insisted. "Top, remember??"

"Rin how's your sch-"

"Your check." The waiter smiled, standing patiently.

"Huh? Oh yes, yes of course. I'll get it girls."

"No!" The three women replied all pulling purses from their laps.

"I'll get it." They argued. Shimo stared, smiling.

"Well SOMEONE has to get it." All eyes turned to the waiting waiter. "Thank you." He took the money the old man offered giving him his recite. 'Yasha walked away humming to himself.

"Girls I must go. But we'll talk some other time. If there's trouble call me. I'll keep you informed about the job." Shimo-sama stood all three women following to wrap their arms around him once more.

"Bye Shimo-sama!"
