I do not own IY or YYH
Kagome woke up when the sun hit her in the face. She opened her eyes and saw that her curtain was open, she hadn't bothered to close it last night. She blinked a couple more times before she actually got up. Kagome looked around the room and saw that the matress didn't have any sheets. The carpet was stained with some type of dark subtance. There was no chest of drawers or anything, besides the bed the room was bare. Kagome saw her three red suitcases tossed in the doorway, stopping the door from closing. "YAWWNN What time is it?"
Kagome asked herself she rubbed her eyes trying to wipe the sleep away. She jumped over the bags and exited the room into the kitchen. She was hoping that the stove had a clock on it but ofcourse, the stove was an old gas burner that required a match to turn on. It was actually quite puny, it looked like the stove could only fit one tray of something small, like a small chicken. She walked back to her room and pulled her suitcases side by side. She opened the first one and as luck would have it, it was the summer suitcase. Kagome tucked the other two suitcases in the closet and put her summer case up against the wall opposite her bed, open. She found her wallet tucked in the side. Pulling it out she also pulled out a blouse and a skirt that went to her knees, it was brown and frilly.
Stepping out of the room she found the bathroom, brushed her teeth and took a shower, it was actually fairly short seeing as the hot water lasted for about ten minutes. She dried herself with a "towel" really a small face towel, her hair stayed moist of course. How can anybody live like this. Why would Momoiro say it was okay for me to live with her if she knew this is how things were! Well she made it to the kitchen and opened the equally small and ancient fridge. And found an apple, and air, and thats about it. Are you serious? Okay well it seems I'm going to have to get something to eat. Yeah, cuz you know, I know my way around this city that I've been in for what is it, 19 hours? Kagome rolled her eyes and walked to her room, grabbed her wallet and left. Of course the elevator wasn't working and she had to walk down the stairs. "Atleast I'm getting exercise . . . "
She reached the bottom of the steps and assumed that it was about 7 in the morning, people were rushing to get to their cars and work. She walked through the crowds or people. "Crap, do I even have enough money?" Kagome asked herself and looked into her wallet. "Ugh! That's gonna be cutting it close! I need a job, definately . . . "
She walked down the street trying to ask someone to tell her which was to the store but everyone was to busy trying to get to work, much to busy to help her. After walking for about a half hour though she made it and surprisingly remembered the way back. She went in the small groery store and found it nearly deserted, which made sense.Ofcourse, who is going grocery shopping at 7 in the morning?
After walking through the aisles she found rice, pork, and flour was all she could afford. She bought it and left, she had enough money left to buy a piece of candy. but she didn't she just walked home.
"Momoiro! I'm home . . . hello?" Kagome screamed as she got in the apartment. She looked around and saw that her cousin was on the couch with a goofy grin looking at her.
"Hey there Kagome, when did you get it?" She asked Kagome while laughing still. She's still drunk?! How much did she drink?! Kagome asked herself as she stepped inside the house.
"Whatcha bought there?" Her cousin asked her looking at her white grocery bag.
"Something to eat, I'm making pork buns and rice. Your fridge is empty by the way."
"Oh I'm sorry, its just that I went out." Her cousin explained to her. What does that have to do with the fridge?!
"It's okay dont worry about that, I'll take care of that. That's how I'll earn my keep around here. I'm going to get a job. Hey can you do me a favor?" Kagome asked her cousin.
"Sure baby! Whatever you say *giggle*." Momoiro asked and was still on her high.
"Could you try to keep the partying and drinking down while I'm here. Please?" Kagome asked genuinly.
"What are you taking about babe?" Momoiro sincerely asked. Kagome just rolled her eyes and got to work on the pork buns and rice. She finished and the too ate together at the counter, it was dead quiet. Nobody had anything to say. Kagome finished, washed her dish and put it away. Her cousin though seemed to be having a hard time eating. She seemed confused as to what she was supposed to be doing, and when she did eat it seemed almost painful. She would take a bite wince, her face would contort slightly, she would then look at Kagome as if seeing to see if she saw her then take another bite and repeated everything again. Kagome found it very odd but didn't say anything, her cousin just didn't seem like she didn't have it together.
After they were done eating Kagome pulled out a newspaper. "Hey, where'd you get that?" Momoiro asked very surprised.
"They deliver them to you building, all you have to do is pick them up at the lobby." Kagome stated surprised that she didn't know that, she did live here after all.
"Oh . . ."
"Listen, I'm going job hunting today, so I'm going to be gone most of the day and I might- you know whatI'll just be out." Kagome asked. I can't believe I almost asked her to be my reference! I can just picture that catastrophe . . .
Ring, Ring, Hello is this Momoiro Higurashi?
Yes *hiccup*
Yes, well shes here trying to get a job, would you say shes a suitbale employee?
Kagome? Shes awesome *giggle* She bought the groceries today and made breakfast! Shes the best person in the world! *hiccup*
Does she have any skills?
Who are you?! Why are you asking about her?! Do you want to kidnap her?!
Ma'm shes trying to get a j-
I'm calling the police!
Kagome winced at the thought of how horrible that would turn out. "Okay, have fuuunn!" Momoiro said, but as she was speaking she tripped on her to her room and landed on her face. Kagome just looked down in disappointment. How am I related to her?!
Kagome was in the office of the manager of the grocery store she was at earlier. The man looked at her.
"So ma'm, why should I hire you?"
"Well, you should umm, hire me-"
"Wrong!" The man screamed and put one of his legs on the desk and pulled out a kendo sword. Kagome stepped back for a second and began to sweat. Oh My God! He's going to kill me!
"You have to be assertive!" Kagome looked at him as if he were crazy. I have to be assertive to process stock?!
"No weaklings! You are a disgrace! Get out!" The man yelled. Kagome ran out crying and scared for her life. What is wrong with that guy?!
Kagome was outside the grocery store and looked at the other wanted ads. So lets cross off grocery store, next . . . Elephant waste remover at the zoo . . . next . . . day care . . . I think this ones it, I'm wonderful with kids!
Kagome stopped someone one to ask where this "Happy Kids Academy" was.
"Excuse me sir, but do you kno 'Happy Kids Academy'?" Kagome asked very politely knowing that it would probably be a while before anyone else would help her.
"Oh yes, I drop my kids off there on Thursdays."
"Can you show me where it is?" The man looked at her ad if saying, are you serious?
"Umm, 'Happy Kids' is in the next city over so I really can't show you . . ."
"What?! Do you know that bus schedule to get there?" Kagome asked in a plee to try to get there somehow.
"Well you can take the number three straight there and I think it goes from there back at around 5."
"And how much would that round trip cost?"
"It would be about 2.40." The man said and Kagome looked in her wallet. 2.50 . . . yes!
"When does it leave?!" Kagome asked desperately trying to make it there on time in fear that someone else might be vieing for the same job.
"It leaves in about 5 mintes."
"Wheres the stop?!"
"About three block down . . ." The man was beginning to fear for his safety. This girl dure is eccentric . . . The man thought as Kagome took off down the street.
Kagome was running as fast as her legs would carry her. She made it though. The bus was rounding the corner as she made it to the stop. She hunched over heaving trying to catch her breath. The bus approached and she boarded, dropping her money in the dispencer and taking the first seat she could get too. The bus ride was about 20 minutes.
Kagome stared out the window and saw the day care, she pulled the cord and the bus stopped, she got off and went it.
The air conditioning was at a very good temperature, the cool air probably felt good to the kids when it was 100 degrees outside. She walked up to the front desk.
"Excuse me, I'm here about the job opening." Kagome told the woman at the front desk.
"Yes, follow me" The woman had red hair and led Kagome into the room where they kept the babies. "Boss Lady, we have someone here who wants to fill that open position." The woman adressed as 'Boss Lady' looked at Kagome. The woman seemed to be in her fourties, she had blue glasses that rested on the tip of her nose.
"Hello, what your name?" Boss Lady asked Kagome as the woman from the desk returned to her post.
"My name is Kagome and I really want this job."
The woman looked at Kagome. "Why don't you stay here, and watch these babies while I mail these bills okay? If everything isn't destroyed and nobody's dead then you have the job." The woman was very sweet and kind. She smiled at her and left. Kagome stood there in an awe. Did that woman really just leave a perfect stranger to take care of a room full of babies! Okay Kagome you can do this, if you can't do this now then you definately can't do this job.
"Waaaaaaaaa!"
"Okay, here we go." Kagome walked up to the first plastic basanet, like from the hospital. She picked up the little girl, she noticed that the boys were all in blue and the girls were all in pink. She picked the girl up and started rocking her, but that only seemed to make it worse. Then Kagome tried to give her one of the bottles that were sitting in the warm water. The baby didn't even let her put the bottle near her mouth, she just wailed louder. She kept rocking her and then it hit her and it wasnt something pleasent that hit her.
A foul smell assalted her nose, thats what hit her. Well I guess that why she didn't want me to rock her, I wouldn't want my wast smeared on my bottom either. She carried the girl to the changing station and gave her a fresh diaper. She calmed down and went back to sleep. She put her back in her basanet and noticed that they had name tags on the front of the basanet. "So your name is Naru huh?"
Things went this way for another ten mintues, the moment she finished with one another would cry but Kagome found that she could handle it. The woman came back in the room and took off her cerulium sweater. "Looks like you got the job sweety." The woman said smiling. "Um, how much does this pay and what are going to be my hours?" Kagome asked. "I'm going to need you to be here on the weekdays. Weekends you're off and the job pays 8.00 an hour." Kagome was shocked How much?! Thats well over minimum wage, but then again I am taking care of humna lives here. Kagome thought a bit cocky.
