A.N. okay. I'm back for now. This is such a boring chapter for me. I guess you could say when I was working on it I didn't have to much fun. But I hope you enjoy it.
Last Time
Kagome nodded, following James to the door.
"Alright," she said, "but I hope under different circumstances we can do what we did last night again. Coffee and talking is much better than a normal date."
James nodded, and much to InuYasha's horror, leaned down and kissed Kagome.
"Trust me," he said pulling her close to him, "there isn't anything that would keep me from that. Well nothing but mother getting sick again."
Kagome laughed, and kissed him back…
Now
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" InuYasha yelled at Kagome when she shut the door.
"What?" she asked innocently, walking towards her room, "I'm not sure what you're talking about."
"You kissing that guy," he said rudely, "I thought you weren't wanting a relationship? Hell if that was the case, you know I'm only waiting for you for the past 500 years."
"No," Kagome said to him, "I don't want a relationship with you. You've hurt me so many times that I'm tired of it. Until you realize what you've done, I'm not going to wait for you any more."
"But him?" InuYasha asked, pointing at the door, "I mean, c'mon Kagome. He smells like that damn wolf Kouga."
"Maybe because he's Kouga's Kikyo," she said, knowing that InuYasha would understand what she meant.
"How are you sure?" he asked.
"I just know," she said, "now please. Go home, clean up. Do whatever it is you do, I'm going to clean up myself and then hang out with my brother a bit."
At InuYasha's
"What the hell is with that girl?" InuYasha asked Miroku over the phone, "I practically dropped everything to be with her again."
Miroku replied,"What kind of response is that?" InuYasha asked, "you're my friend."
Miroku said,"YOU KIDNAPPED KAGOME!" InuYasha yelled, "Whatever. Besides, I just have to get her away from the wolf."
Miroku said,"Good friend you are," InuYasha grumbled before hanging up on Miroku.
"This is great," he thought to himself as his phone started ringing again, "hello."
After a couple of minutes, InuYasha was even more upset. The bartender up and quit on him, and there was no one that could replace him. Then he got a idea.
"Miroku let me talk to Sango," InuYasha said when he called his friend again.
Miroku asked,"No you idiot," InuYasha said, "I'm going to offer her a job."
Miroku said, Sango asked when she took the phone,"Your looking for a job right?" he asked her, not saying hello or anything.
she joked,"Do you know anything about bartending?" he asked, "really all it is is just pouring and handing beers. I don't own a blender, and everything is cheap. Well not really."
she said,"It's cool," he said, "I'll take the menu to you, with the stuff I have on tap and the bottles. Along with a list of the beers we keep, and I'll help you remember the prices for the drinks. I don't go by the normal prices, it took a while, but I managed to change them."
Sango said,"Great," InuYasha said, "thank you so much!"

"Kagome don't you have a job?" Souta asked his sister as they sat down on the couch with their food.
"Yeah," she said, "but I called the manager of the store this morning. He said I don't start for another week. You'll be home by then."
"Oh," the boy said, "alright. That's awesome."
"It is," Kagome said, "I just would rather do something else. I don't know, it's a cool place to work. I just think it would be fun to work in a different setting."
"Then don't work there," Souta said, "get a job waitressing or something."
"I guess I could," she said, "the rent here isn't bad. I can make it, if I get good tips. I mean, waitresses here don't get paid to good. But they make a killing on tips."
Souta nodded, "but I'm guessing you can't just quit a job because you want something else though. Especially when you haven't really worked there. Just a day."
Kagome nodded, "I'll wait. Then I'll get a job. Maybe at a bar."
Souta laughed, "I hope not."
Kagome giggled, she would only work at a bar if she didn't have to learn the fancy ways of handling the bottles like they did in the movie 'coyote ugly'.
Kagome and Souta finished their dinner, before cleaning the kitchen up and putting the take out containers in the refrigerator.
"So what do you want to do?" Kagome asked, just as her phone rang, "hold that thought."
The boy lauhed as his sister picked up the phone.
"Hello," she said. pause
"SANGO THAT'S GREAT!" pause
"Oh it's at Phoenix, that is such a stupid name for a bar…" pause
"Yeah good point. It's a job. How much do you get paid?" pause
"That's awesome," Kagome said, "more than minimum wage, "I would come but I've got Sou." pause
"I guess," she said, "does Miroku mind?" pause
"Okay," she said, "I'll change and pick you up." pause
"Okay," Kagome said with a laugh, "I'll be there soon."
Souta looked at his sister with a puzzled expression.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Wanna hang with Miroku and Shippo tonight?" she asked.
"Sure," the boy said, "but you owe me a whole day tomorrow."
"Deal," Kagome laughed, "but now I have to get dressed."

"KAGOME YOU LOOK AMAZING!" Sango gushed as her friend and brother walked into the hotel room.
"Thanks," Kagome said looking at her friend, "you look pretty hot yourself."
"That's what I said," Miroku said, nursing a bruise on the side of his face, "but she doesn't believe me."
Kagome laughed, "well boys. We're off. Sango I hope you don't mind, I called James. He's going to meet us at the club."
"No problem," Sango said, "I'll be working anyway."
When they got to the club, the girls found InuYasha waiting for them.
"Hey Sango," he said, "Kagome."
The girls smiled, Kagome nodded.
"I'm going to wait," she said as InuYasha tried to usher them inside.
"Why?" InuYasha asked, "I'll get you in without the line."
"I'm waiting for someone," she said, just as her friend Ally from school walked up.
"Hey Kagome," she said, "I haven't seen you in forever." Kagome grinned, "it's been what? A week since we hung out?"
"Yeah," Kagome said, "have I introduced you to Sango?"
Ally shook her head, "Hi. I'm Ally, a friend from school."
Kagome laughed, "More like my partner in crime. We had a class together and managed to get the whole building evacuated over a single comment."
Sango laughed, "hi I'm Sango Mori. I'm a old friend from back in Japan."
The girls talked when InuYasha interrupted rudely, "I hate to break up the gab fest. But Sango, you still need to learn the register."
"Your friend is a bar tender here now?" Ally asked.
"Yeah," Kagome said, "it's pretty cool, but I guess it sucks, if a guy offers to buy her a drink or something she has to refuse, whether it's bad for business or not. She's pregnant!"
"Awesome," Ally said, "But how'd she get the job. The owner goes and scouts for bar tenders."
"He's my ex boyfriend," Kagome said, "and he's Sango's husbands best friend."
Ally shook her head, "is there anything going on with you two?"
Kagome looked at her then laughed, "no. I'm seeing a guy from my psych class. If you want, I'll introduce you to Yash."
"No," Ally said with a laugh, "I have a boyfriend. I was asking to see if you two were going to get together again. Guess not."
"Hey Kagome," James said walking over to Kagome.
The girl's face instantly brightened up when she saw the demon.
"Hey James," she said moving to hug him around his waist, "what's up?"
"I got a little lost," he said, "who names a bar Phoenix?"
Kagome laughed, "I asked the same question. But it's pretty popular so if it works it works.
The boy nodded, when the noticed they were up at the door. After they were carded, they made their way to the bar where InuYasha was showing Kagome how to work the machine.
"Basically," he was saying, "it's self explanatory. You put in whether it's a shot of this drink, or a beer, or if someone wants a soda with a shot of the drink, or anything else. Because it's a touch screen. You just press the button with the name, or if it's a mix of soda and alcohol, press the combo button it'll let you put both."
"Got it," Sango said with a grin.
"Good," he said, "I've got to talk to the DJ, but I'll be back to help you out when I'm done."
Sango nodded, "so you guys wanna be my first customers?"
Kagome laughed, "yeah. I want a coke, CLEAN."
Sango pouted, "what you don't trust me to put alcohol in your drink?"
"No," Kagome said, "I've seen you with the shit. That's how you got in the state your in."
Sango laughed, "it is not. But anyway, I'm not that bad. I just don't measure."
Kagome giggled, "I'll stick with the coke. But give James and Ally anything, I'll pay."
A.N. I'm done. Thank god! This one was so hard to write. I don't really like it, but I don't hate it. But the next chapter will get better.
P.S. I just randomly named the club, as far as I know, there isn't a club named Phoenix. I'm pretty sure there isn't.
