A.N. I'm really close to finishing this story. I'm getting bored with it. And I've got other stuff to do. Like 3 other stories I'm finishing.

"Alright Sango," InuYasha said with a grin, "you did good. Although I was surprised."

"About what?" the girl asked, not sure what he was talking about.

"I always, ALWAYS, make more money off women," InuYasha said, "and that's if we have a female bartender. Tonight, almost everyone that came to the bar was men. It was strange."

Kagome laughed, "it's because Sango's gorgeous. I'm not surprised that they flocked this way."

Sango blushed, "your lying. But did I do well enough to keep the job?"

InuYasha nodded, "yup. I would probably say… Monday thru Wednesday nights, and then Friday nights. I'll start your pay at around… $8.50 a hour for… I don't know. I open at 6:00, but Miroku won't want you out all night… he can adjust though, we close at 2 am. So from 6-2 you work. Sound good?"

"Yeah," Sango said, "that's a good 8 hour shift. $68.00 a day, without taxes reduced for 3 days. That's good for me!"

"Great," InuYasha said, "I just still need at least one more tender though. You're going to have to get maternity and everything here eventually. And It's not good to have just you up here. That's too much, Phoenix (the town) is pretty huge, and Phoenix seems to be a hit. So I guess I'll put a add in the paper for bar tenders."

After Kagome took Sango home, she realized someone was following her. She couldn't tell who it was. Their car was a dark blue, maybe black. Her first thought was Naraku, but then she remembered they destroyed him. So that left InuYasha's psychotic ex-girlfriend Sasha.

"I really wouldn't be surprised if it was her following me," she said to herself as she pulled into a random parking lot. She figured if it was someone going the same direction as her, they would just keep going. But the car followed. Pulling in right next to her.

she thought to herself as the drivers side door opened,

Sasha had been following Kagome since she left the club. She hadn't expected her to disappear with another woman into a hotel though.

"What the hell do you want?" Kagome asked when Sasha got out of the car.

"Just wanted to talk," she replied, moving so she could see Kagome better.

"Then talk," Kagome said, looking the girl up and down.

"Why do you continue to hang around InuYasha?" the other woman asked, "you say you don't have feelings for him. But you continue to follow him around like a puppy."

Kagome laughed, "he's the puppy. But it's none of your reason why I'm hanging around with him. He was my friend for years, not to mention the first man I fell in love with. But that's not what matters, he's still my friend."

Sasha was getting pissed, she hated hearing Kagome talk about InuYasha being her first love.

"I'm only going to tell you one more time," Sasha said quietly, "stay away from InuYasha. I don't want to hurt you."

"Then your going to have to work hard," Kagome said, moving closer to Sasha, til their faces were just inches apart, "because you're not going to scare me away from my friend. Actually, your not going to scare me at all."

"We'll see about that," Sasha said, walking back to her car, "just remember…"

"That if I see your car I'm going to have you arrested," Kagome replied, "because you're tags are showing. And I've got a photographic memory."

Sasha paled, she hadn't thought to cover or remove her license plate from the car.

Twenty minutes later

Kagome was tired. She was mad, and she wished she hadn't left Souta with Miroku and Sango.

she thought to herself, thinking about what Sasha said earlier, said a deep voice.

"Can you come over to my place?" Kagome asked the man, "I'm kinda paranoid and my brother's at a friends house."

he said,

"Thank you," Kagome said, "I'll see you then."

James was excited, Kagome called him to come over to her house. He wasn't a pervert, he was just happy. He loved spending time with the girl, and he wanted to see if he could pry anything from her about her past.

"I doubt she would tell me she's the girl from my grandfathers past," he said to himself as he drove to Kagome's, "she'd probably laugh and call it coincidence."

When he arrived at Kagome's though, James was surprised to see that she was still dressed from the club.

"Are you still partying?" he asked when she let him in the apartment.

Kagome laughed, "no. I just haven't changed yet. I'm kind of paranoid. Do you mind waiting a minute?"

"Not at all," James said, "as long as you tell me what's got you spooked."

Kagome nodded before disappearing into her room. When she emerged, James was sitting on the couch, staring into space.

"You look comfy," Kagome commented looking at the way he was half sprawled out, yet his feet were still dangling off the side.

"Very," he said with a smirk, "join me?"

Kagome smirked, before settling herself between James and the back of the couch, wrapped in his arms.

"So," he said as she rested her head on his shoulder, "what are you so scared of?"

"Well," Kagome started, "it's really stupid. But I'd rather be stupid than sorry."

James nodded, "what happened?"

"My ex," she started, "you know. InuYasha. Well anyway, his ex girlfriend has been being stupid because she thinks there is something going on between me and Yash, but there's not. But tonight, she started following me. And I managed to get her to follow me to a parking lot, and she started threatening me. I told her that if I caught her by my house, or anywhere I am that wasn't a public place then I was going to have her arrested for stalking. And I don't think she believes me, but she's crazy and she knows where I live. So I'm just a little paranoid."

James smiled, hugging Kagome closer to himself, "it's cool. I'm here for tonight, and I'll protect you from the big bad stalker chick."

Kagome giggled, before grabbing the remote on the back of the couch.

"Well lets see what's on TV shall we?" she asked.

"Sure," James said, "what else is there to do."
"Exactly."

A.N. yeah this chapter was short but it's been sitting there for weeks, waiting to be finished, and I cant seem to do it.
