Chapter 2

Saturday morning came in hot and sunny at All Seasons. Gone were the truckers and occasional weirdoes who inhabited the restaurant at night, and in their place were vacationing families with screaming children begging for ice cream, and parents desperately in need of coffee. Pancakes, toast, eggs, and bacon were frantically being carted every which way, waiters literally running from table to table to keep up with the demanding orders.

Kagome, having stuck to her promise of coming in early, was already highly regretting this apparent lapse in judgment on her part. It was only 10 in the morning and already she had had to take someone's iced tea back to the kitchen because it wasn't "lemony" enough, the register had gotten messed up so badly by the new guy that it beeped for 15 minuets straight until Kikyo, in a fit of rage, had whacked it with an empty syrup dispenser, and when Hojo had called her cell to set up dinner plans, she actually got chewed out by Inuyasha for not focusing on her work! What the hell? It was beyond her how this guy even got a job here let alone became assistant manager; he could barely make a sandwich without help.

In her opinion, Kaede was more than a little lenient when it came to resumes, but I mean come on, this guy was hopeless. It was obvious he had never worked a day in his life, and was trying to compensate for that by being extra bossy and therefore, extra annoying. Kagome wasn't even sure why Inuyasha wanted to work at a Greasy Spoon style diner like this one in the first place. The pay was minimum plus tips, they were short staffed so the hours were hectic and judging by the sporty black convertible he rolled in on earlier this morning, he obviously didn't need a little extra help paying the rent like Kikyo and herself. So the winning question was this; what exactly was he doing here?

She paused for a moment, taking a break from rolling silverware to consider this. He had already been working there for about week, but it was blatantly obvious he wasn't interested in getting to know anyone, and probably didn't even want the job. He hardly spoke to her or any of the other staff members. Even one of the cooks, Miroku, who was so funny he could probably get one of those guards in front of Buckingham palace to crack up, couldn't coax a non-work related conversation out of him.

When Kagome had started job hunting, Kikyo had been waitressing for almost a year, and was the one who recommended her to Kaede. The only reason Kaede had even considered hiring Kagome at the time was because of Kikyo's sparkling resume and reputation, and Kagome was automatically assumed to be the same A+ material.

Psh, in your dreams.

After a while it was clear the two sisters were polar opposites, but at the same time, as close as two people could possibly be. Kaede didn't have the heart to fire one girl and not the other. They were like a buy one get one free sale.

With Kikyo, everything was spick and span; short, sweet and to the point. She was a firm believer in hard work, independence, and that everything had its place. Focused, driven, and precise, she deemed that there was a right way and a wrong way to do things, and Kikyo was determined to do things the right way. Also, Kikyo was apparently the only one of the Higurashi sisters with fully developed people skills. She had the patience of a saint and could handle the constant varying personality's that went with working in public relations.

Kagome on the other hand, was a different story altogether. Unlike Kikyo, Kagome was a firm believer that wherever something falls is a good place for it. Sometimes when she was annoyed with Kikyos constant responsibility lectures, or pissed off in general, she would rearrange the saltshakers, or disorganize the napkins just to drive her sister crazy. She couldn't take crap from anyone, and "tolerance" wasn't in her vocabulary. On more than one occasion, a client would raise a complaint about something stupid and inane, like the toast not being brown enough, or their food touching, and Kagome would have to be pulled away by the arm to stop her from throwing a punch.

Even there dating styles were different; Kikyo had maintained the same boyfriend since 10th grade, and Kagome had a new date, or a new guy, systematically every other week since junior year.

But when all was said and done, Kagome and Kikyo were undeniably close. The second either of them were in the same room together they were constantly talking, arguing, laughing, or gossiping. Even when they weren't communicating with their mouths, there was something between them, some kind of mental link that allowed them to converse with each other in other ways, like body language, facial expressions, and eye rolls.

"You're not rolling those tight enough." a reprimanding voice stated behind her.

Kagome snapped out of her daze and looked over her shoulder

"Huh?" she asked, blinking from being yanked from her daydream.

"The silverware…" Inuyasha walked over next to her, "you're not rolling those tight enough, you have to tuck the fold into the crease, like this and-"

"I know how to roll silverware, thanks." Kagome shot back, snatching the fork and spoon out of his hands.

His eyes widened, obviously taken by surprise, before he slowly dropped his hand and shoved it in his pocket. He looked like a kicked puppy and it annoyed her.

She threw her hands up in the air and turned towards him

"Jesus, would you PLEASE go do something useful for once instead of walking around here like a jackass? If you don't want to be here, then leave. I'm sure there are plenty of other dead end jobs just waiting for you to waltz into their store and fill out an application. In the meantime, if you are going to be here, then just do your own shit and I'll do mine, deal?" And with that, she flung the last of the silverware on the countertop, picked up a tray with a sandwich and lemonade on it, and stormed out onto the main floor, bumping him out of the way with her hip as she passed.

She didn't notice the hurt look on his face before she left.

A/N: Whoa, two chapters in two days? I've outdone myself. Kagomes a complete and total bitch and I love it. But not everyone shares my dry, sadistic sense of humor so more shall be revealed. She is the main character after all, I can't have her completely un-likeable.
