When In Doubt Live Without
"So Kagome how old are you?"
"I'm 26 years old"
"Oh, I'm a year older. Where do you work?"
"I used to work at a daycare and then I started working in a company that made children's books but I got fired"
"Why were you fired?" Inuyasha titled his head a bit he didn't understand how someone could mess up a job they chose to have.
"The company was going bankrupt."
"Oh well then, Kagome do you have any children?"
"Yes I have a daughter named Rin"
"And how old is she?"
"She's 4-years-old"
"Well then why do you want this job?"
Kagome smirked "I just got fired and need to support my daughter somehow plus I love kids. I also thought it'd be a good opportunity to get to know you and be able to spend time with my daughter too."
"Well Kagome with all the people who came here I gave them 2 days to prove themselves to me, that they can watch and care for my kids so I'll give you 2 days and if everything works out then I'll send for your stuff and get you and Rin a room to stay in"
"So while I work for you I will be living here?"
"That's right"
"Okay so what are my days and hours, you didn't say on the flyer?"
"You will work Monday to Friday from 6 a.m to 4:30 p.m while I'm at work, sometimes I might come home early and except for special occasions you will have the weekend to yourself"
"Okay sounds good so when do you want me to come for my opportunity to prove myself?"
"Tommorrow at six o'clock"
"Okay see you then!"
Kagome sighed as she got into her car. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day but it'll all be worth it if she gets the job, hopefully she will because she has worked hard to become a good caretaker and get all those things on her resume she gave Inuyasha.
Inuyasha sighed and sat down looking at Kagome's resume his eyes widened she had a lot of education, a lot of experiences, and passed good courses like CPR and first aid. Who would give her up? He sighed this girl better be good and his kids better like her too. He had a big crush on her ever since he met her back in high school and he hopes this would work out.
Kagome drove into the driveway of her mother's house and saw Rin poking her head out the window smiling down at her. Just as Kagome got out of the car her mother ran out to her "So how did it go honey?"
"Pretty well actually, he's giving me two days to prove myself and if I get the job I'll be living there with Rin"
"So when do you have to go back? What are your hours?"
"My hours are Monday to Friday from 6 a.m to 4:30 p.m unless something special is going on my weekends are free."
"Oh, that's good! Let's have a big supper tonight and if you get the job that night after you move in we'll go to any movie you want to see"
"Okay, but could you watch Rin for the next 2 days?"
"Of course"
Once she went inside Rin and her 16-year-old brother tackled her to the ground asking many questions. She laughed, "Guys, guys one at a time!" As she said this they both stopped and got off her obediently.
The next day Kagome was up and ready at 5:30 and out the door, she arrived at the house 5 mins before 6 and knocked on the door. The door opened to show a cute 5-year-old little boy still in his PJs. He smiled up at Kagome and said "You must be Kagoumie I'm Shippo please come in my Papa's upstairs getting ready"
"Thank you Shippo you're so sweet. Is your Papa going to be long?" She asked taking off her hat and coat.
Shippo paused then hesitantly said "…. No he's just going potty… Why are you here Mama?"
"What? I'm not your Mama I'm Kagome remember, I might be your new nanny."
Shippo's eyes widened "No your Mama!" he turned around and ran upstairs crying "Papa! Papa!"
Inuyasha came out of the bathroom hearing Shippo's cry and bent down to catch him in his arms "What's the matter Shippo?"
"Mama's back! Mama's back!" Shippo started to cry hysterically now tears running down his face like a river.
"What do you mean she's back Shippo?"
"I opened the door like you said because you said it was Kagoumie but when she came in and took off her hat and coat it was Mama! It was Mama!"
"Come on let's go see" Inuyasha sighed as he carried Shippo downstairs. Once they saw Kagome Shippo said, "See! See! It's Mama!"
Inuyasha blinked he understood what Shippo was saying she did look very much like Kikyo but he knew better her scent was very different. "No it's not look!" He took a picture of Kikyo and held it beside Kagome's face "See they are not the same! Silly! Can't you smell the difference?"
Shippo paused, an innocent look on his face and started to sniff "Oooh I smell it, it's very different from mama's. So this is not mama?"
"Exactly now apologize!"
"Sowry I don't mean to do it!"
Kagome smiled "That's alright it's not your fault!"
Shippo smiled and jumped out of his father's arms. He ran out of the room to go to the playroom downstairs. Inuyasha looked at where Shippo was then to Kagome. "Sorry about Shippo he doesn't seem to think before he acts."
"Oh that's fine I don't mind. Why was he so upset?"
"I don't think I should tell you yet, but let's just say he had bad experiences with his mother."
"Oh okay that's fine you don't need to tell me, so do you think he'll be okay with me being here?"
"Yeah of course I'm sure you two will have lots of fun! Now I need to go to work so help yourself with what's in the kitchen, explore the house if you want, Rin should be up in an hour and if you would like to take them somewhere coats hats and other stuff is in the mud room and the wagons, car seats and bikes are in the garage."
"Okay have a good day at work!"
"Bye, have fun!"
"Bye"
Once Inuyasha was gone Kagome decided to explore the house she started upstairs. She saw three doors when she got upstairs that stood out the most, one was a girly white door that had pink letters that said Kanna and it was filled with girly flowers and hearts and stars and other girly things. The next one was a baby bleu door that had white letters that said Shippo on it with stickers of trucks, planes, trains and animals on it. The 3rd door was a deep red color with what seemed like black flames painted starting from the bottom and going up. She guessed that the red one was Inuyasha's, she kept walking and saw two more doors , one had her name and the other had Rin's name her eyes widened she slowly went into her room and smiled it was a big room, a bed, dresser and closet which had sliding doors that had mirrors. Then she saw another door and it lead to a beautiful bathroom which had a big separate bathtub and shower and two sinks. She went over to Rin's room that was a similar size to hers but had no bathroom.
Kagome went back into the hall to find more guests rooms and bathrooms. She smiled and went to explore downstairs and realized they had a chef kitchen, a formal living room, formal dining room another bathroom and the kitchen opened up into a common room which had a big screen T.V. She decided to go see Shippo in the basement and found a BIG playroom, a workout room, yet another bathroom and a home theater. Shippo smiled at Kagome "Wanna play cars with me?"
Kagome smiled at him "Sure Shippo!"
After a little while of playing cars Kagome noticed a noise coming from on of the many baby monitors then there was a big wailing and Shippo smiled up at her "Baby sister Kanna is up can I go with you to get her?"
"Sure Shippo let's go!"
Once they got upstairs and into Kanna's room the baby's face was blood red and a river of tears were running down her face. Kagome went up to her and took her in her arms and started rocking her back and forth. Rin almost immediately stopped and started cooing happily as Kagome smiled down at her. Shippo smiled "Wow she stopped crying she has never stopped right away before she must weally wike you"
"You think so Shippo?"
"Yes she never stopped so quickly fow Papa befowe"
Kagome smiled "Well it's almost time for lunch how about I make it while you and Rin watch cartoons and play in the common room."
Shippo smiled "Okay!"
They all went downstairs and Kagome turned on the T.V and put the channel on some cartoons. She went over to the kitchen and picked some things they could have for lunch. She smiled "Shippo I have two choices you can have for lunch you either can have mac & cheese or Ravioli? Which on would you like?"
Shippo smiled "I can choose?" She nodded "Can we have mac & cheese?"
She smiled again "Of course!"
"Yay!"
Once lunch was over Kagome decided to take the kids to the park. When Inuyasha got home that evening he couldn't believe what he saw.
