The Next Day

Kagome walked into work and noticed all the missing employees from the day before were there. It made her feel a bit uneasy, but she was going to do her best to make sure everyone liked her.

"Is that the new girl?" One female employee asked Sango.

"Yup, that's Kagome."

"Ooh. She's cute!"

Sango waved her finger at her. "Hold on, Ayame. I don't know if she's into girls."

Ayame put her hands on her hips and cocked her head. "Sango. Every girl is into girls. They just haven't kissed the right one yet." She said with a wink.

Sango laughed and rolled her eyes.

Kagome waved at Sango as she went to her locker. She laughed when she saw Inuyasha sleeping in the back, mouth wide open drooling all over his book. She tried to quietly open her locker but failed and woke him anyway.

"Huh? I wasn't sleeping." He slurred out, wiping his face.

"Inuyasha, you were knocked out, drooling all over your book, don't kid yourself." She responded jokingly.

Another employee came in and he studied Kagome. "You're the new girl, right?"

Kagome looked at the boy. He was extremely attractive with long black hair and beautiful tan skin. "Y-yeah. My name is Kagome."

He gave her a head nod and a smile. "I'm Bankotsu. The uh…girls were out there talking about how cute you are…and you are cute, I'll give you that." He noted as he threw his bag into his locker. "See you on the floor." He said coolly as he left.

Kagome's first real day of work was going better than she thought it would. At least everyone was saying nice things about her. She sighed contently and went in the bathroom and changed her clothes.

When she came back, she noticed Inuyasha was sleeping again.

"Hey." She shook his shoulder to wake him back up. "Are you alright? You want some coffee or something to keep you awake?"

Inuyasha shook his head and rested back on his arms. "I only got an hour of sleep. Cover for me, wouldja? If my brother comes downstairs, tell em I'm in the bathroom or something."

"Okay." She smiled and gently draped his jacket over his shoulders. "Have a good sleep." She told him as she went on her way.

Inuyasha picked up his head slightly to look at Kagome as she left. He pulled his jacket over his head and smiled. It was nice having her around.
