A.N. Heylo! Things are coming together kind of all over the place, if you have any questions just write me and I'll help you out. I just wanted to remind you I only own the characters I made up. InuYasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku are all from the mind of Rumiko Takahashi, and as much as I would like to say they're mine. They are not, also, I don't own Hot Topic. That is also something I wish I owned but don't. HAVE FUN!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome's interview went great. The manager said that they had never got applications from anyone other than the 'Goth kids' that were in the area, although he loved when he got to hire the Mexican American kids, they were so fun to place there, no one ever expected them. He was excited to have a woman from another country show up. Kagome was thrilled that the manager wanted to start her off, but not until the next pay period which would be the next coming Tuesday.

"I hope you don't have a problem with that," Mason asked Kagome as he walked her to the front of the store.

"Oh no," she said smiling, "it's alright. Actually it's pretty good, I have some friends from back home who are visiting, and they leave on Sunday, so I can spend the rest of the week with them and then start work here."

Mason nodded, he was trying to figure out where he had seen Kagome before. He figured it was just from around town, she said that she's lived here a year but only recently started going out and trying to get to know the area.

"Well," he said extending his hand, "I'm glad to know that I have at least one employee who show's their excitement. Kagome giggled. Everyone is so somber, I hope you're not like that."

"Only when I have to," Kagome said as she was about to leave, "thank you for the chance. I can tell you, I am a little… I don't wanna say weird, but I'm jus a little eccentric."

"That's great," Mason exclaimed. "Well, can't wait to see you on Tuesday for your training. Bye Kagome."

"Good bye," the girl said before leaving.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

InuYasha saw Kagome leaving the store called Hot Topic, he remembered Sasha was talking about how it was a store for the 'Goth kids' or the 'Emo kids'.

"Hey Yash," came Sasha's voice, "I got what I wanted. I know you don't like sitting around, but this store would bother you. But I'm ready to go, why don't we go get dinner! My Treat!"

"Sure," he said not really paying attention.

"Hey Sasha," he asked, maybe she would know, "I thought that Hot Topic store only hired the 'Goth' kids?"

"Normally they do," she said turning around to face him, "why? You thinking of working there?"

"No," he scoffed taking her hand and walking towards the food court, "I have a job. But I saw someone leaving there that doesn't look like she belongs there."

"Oh," Sasha said with a sigh before dragging InuYasha over to the food court where they saw Kagome yelling into her cell phone.

"Yes Sango, you and Miroku need to stop doing whatever your doing and get changed. I'm gonna be there in about twenty minutes, I'm going to take you two out," Kagome listened into the phone a couple of more minutes. "NO! It's not to talk about that cute boy in psych, it's to spend time with my two best friends sheesh. Can't a girl be nice?"

Finally, after ten minutes of explaining to Sango that she wanted to take her and Miroku out just the three of them, she saw InuYasha was staring at her.

"Can I help you with something?" she asked coolly walking in his direction.

"What was all that about?" he asked, not caring about the dirty looks Sasha was giving them.

"I am taking my best friends out for dinner," she said turning around, "so if you'll excuse me I need to go find people who actually enjoy my company. Bye!"

And without another word, Kagome left the half demon stunned by her actions and left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kagome," Sango said as they walked into the restaurant, "this place seems a little expensive. Are you sure you wanna come here?"

"Of course," Kagome said happily, "I can afford it. But if you and Miroku wanted to eat somewhere else, that's fine."

"Well if you want to eat here," Miroku said coming up beside his wife, "then we can too. Beside's, it looks nice."

Sango nodded, the place did look nice, but she wasn't sure if she was okay with allowing Kagome to pay all three dinners.

"Kagome, I have a offer," Sango said as they sat down at their booth, "how about you let me and Miroku pay for dinner? It's to celebrate your getting a job after all, you shouldn't have to pay."
"I wanna pay for you two though," Kagome said smiling. But dropped it when she saw Sango's face, "what about this. I'll pay for you and Miroku and you guys pay for me? Fair enough?"

Sango nodded, that was probably the best they were getting out of her.

Half a hour later

"Sango," Kagome said worriedly as he friend downed another shot, "maybe you should slow down."

"What? No! I'm fine," the other woman laughed as she picked up her 6th shot of tequila, "besides I don't feel any weirder than normal."

"Weirder than normal?" Miroku said, "what do you mean by that?"

"I don't know," Sango said putting the glass down. "I'm done!"

Miroku nodded before looking at Kagome, "maybe we should go home?"

"Yeah," she agreed digging in her purse, "here's fifty. Don't worry about paying anything, can you just wait for the check and I'll get Sango to the car."

Miroku nodded as he watched his wife basically get carried away.

After the bill was paid, Kagome decided that maybe they should take Sango home and get some normal fluids in her system.

"So what do you think she meant?" Kagome asked after they helped Sango throw up her dinner and put her to bed.

"I don't know," he said as they sat down in the living room., "maybe she just ate something that didn't agree with her. But whatever it is, do you think we should take her to a doctor?"

Kagome nodded, she hoped her friend was okay ,but something in her mind told her Sango didn't just have a bug.
