Chapter Four. Another day, another problem.

Kagome grew more, more anxious each passing day, checking everywhere for the MIB people again, but so far so good, she didn't want to be in that situation anymore. And ya think things could get any worse =/ ?

"Oye yoy yoy....." Kagome mumbled rubbing her temples, she had a headache that wasn't going away, "why is my life so complicated...?"

"I don't know." Kikyo said walking up from behind her, "Kagome honey, don't just sit there...we have work to do, that's why you're getting paid."

"Okay..okay..." she sighed getting her elbows off the counter. She was depressed, just like the weather. It was raining outside, like the day she came in and got the job.

"Kagome?" Kikyo called, "Clean up the dressing room can you?"

"Sure...no problem....nothing I can't handle." she mumbled, sloutching all the way to the back of the room. When she got there, everything was a mess, 50$ shirts were thrown on the floors, over a 1000$ evening wears were hung recklessly on the hooks of inside the stalls, pants were draped over the doors like curtains. Kagome sighed picking up every single piece of clothing like she was the trash lady. The bell rang, "NO...no more of this shit, no more folding, no more bitchy women..please god please....", she didn't want to turn around and find out.

"Kikyo!" Kagura's voice shouted.

"Oh my god! wow! didn't know you would come!" they hugged and air kissed.

"Well I just came here to buy a...um, 'hangbag' for to match my evening gown." she whispered the last part. Like it could matter, Kagome couldn't hear anything, she was too tired and stressed to even be thinking about other people's business.

"OOHhh...Okay, you mean the 'special' ones...they're over there, be right back."

"Okay." Kagura said in a cheery voice.

Kikyo left to the employees only room, Kagome was finished with the cleaning up, then she one by one hung up the clothes on the rack. Kikyo picked out a few of the most expensive purses, but they were hand-made and embedded with vibrant colored beads. Kagome was finally done, she deeply sighed and started for the opening , stopping under the door, watching Kikyo and Kagura exchange words along with some few giggles.

"Here's a green one, your favorite color." Kikyo showed a nothing more than a plain matallic light green handbag but it was still eye-catching.

"Ohh....nice..." Kagura eyed the bag like a lion watching it's prey. Kikyo smiled and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge, the clip was on too tight. She pulled and pulled, but not even successful. Kagura snatched it from her hands and tried opening it herself, she pulled with more force than Kikyo, it was like she didn't even care about the well-made purse. With a final grunt, Kagura yanked the purse open and lots of colored candy dropped on the floor rolling everywhere. Kagome raised an eyebrow, *why would Kikyo put candy inside the purses?* then she took a closer look. Those aren't candy....those are drugs. Kagome's eyes grew wide and popped her head back inside. Kikyo quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching and quickly helped to pick up the small addicting pills.

"Kagome?" she called out.

"Yes!" Kagome responded still in the dressing room.

"What are you doing?!"

"Nothing, I'm...I was gonna vaccum the floors! you can't believe what they can leave in here!" she yelled back, hoping that was a good enough lie to tell.

"Oh, Okay!" Kikyo sounded reliefed.

Kagome closed her eyes and fell on the white couch grieving, *what do I do...* she had one more job to do, and then she gets to go home. Kagome closed up the shop after 5:00pm since it was one of the early days that she gets off work. Kagome had to walk home, she didn't drive her car out today because she thought walking was gonna be nice, but only in the morning. Kagome kept gittering about her problems and thoughts ran in and out constantly as fast cars zoomed past her. A silver jaguar rushed past her then screeched to stop, then backed up to meet her.

"Kagome?"

Kagome looked at the driver, "huh?! w-what are you doing here?"

"Um...I was on my way to Kikyo's" Inu Yasha said.

"Oh.." of course, it was the one and only explanation.

"Yep....but why are you walking home?"

"I just didn't drive my car today, I felt like walking in the morning." she explaned.

"Oh...well, you need a ride anyway?"

Kagome shook her head, "No thank you, your on your way to Kikyo's, wouldn't want to keep the queen waiting."

"No, " he snickered, "heh...she can wait, I didn't really want to see her today, but she insisted. I'll just say I got off work late."

Kagome thought about it for a while, "Hmmm.....I'd really prefer walking though.", he gave her 'the look' refusing her answer Kagome sighed, "Fine...I guess I'd rather sit my ass all the way home." Kagome got in, the seats were leather and very comfortable for leather. As soon as he stepped on the pedel she squeaked holding her dress down preventing it from going up.

"Seat belt." he said.

Kagome looked at him as if he were crazy, then obeyed to put on her seat belt, "Are you crazy!!"

"What?" he said calmly.

"You're driving too fast!"

"So?"

Kagome opened her mouth and blinked, "...nevermind." Kagome looked down at her lap, then looked up at him, "by the way...what DO you do?"

"Eh..nothing special, some business job with stocks and crap."

"Hm.." Kagome mumbled. After that question he sped faster, "Wait, do you know where I live?!"

"Nope. I'm just driving around to kill sometime." he said.

"Yeah, okay that's good for you....but I have to get home ya know."

"Chill babe, just a few minutes won't make a big change."

Kagome relaxed and sank back into her seat, *Easy for you to say but can you do it?...geez, he has no idea what he's talking about....* she thought.

A cell phone rang, "Yo." at first Kagome thought he was just talking to himself, but realized that he was talking on those ear phones, "What is it now...........for him? why does he need help from me?...............a girl?............what?........oh....um...haven't seen a girl like that so far...sorry, can't help ya."

As soon as he hung up Kagome started asking Inu Yasha, "Who was it?"

"Um....I don't know...it was a dude who was calling me if I'd seen a little girl cause she was missing."

"O...k......."

"Oh and Kagome?" he handed her a card, "that's has all my phone numbers on it, call me if you need help, like dropping you off or something...don't throw it away."

"Uh...sure.." Kagome tucked it in her purse.

"Let's go back now, where do you live?"

"I live at the Ugai adpartments."

When she got home she sat on the couch thinking, "What should I do?....I can't-...no! I won't! I won't do anything about it! I'm not supposed to see it! It's not my business!...why am I putting my nose in all the wrong places?!"

Kagome shook these thoughts out of her head and took a long bath to wash it all away...but of course that never worked. She slipped on a pair of tan shorts and a big black T-shirt. She grabbed a pen and paper and started writting doodle. Making a list of what TO DO and what NOT TO DO. Kagome spent about 30 minutes non stop thinking and writting, until the phone rang. Kagome eyed the ringing device to decide wether to pick it up or not. No one would call her, no one even knew her phone number. She picked the phone carefully, waited a few second and said hello.

"..."

"Kagome."

"Hello? who are you?" she asked.

"..I..." and the man hung up. Kagome hung up the phone too, something about that voice sounded too fimilar. She shrugged it away and continued her listing.

All was still not forgotten, it was still in her head, Kagome probably spent half the night rolling around in bed with her conscience hanging all around. But the other half of the night was peaceful, she slept quietly in her dreams. She thought about today, and everyone, and Inu Yasha. He was pretty nice to her. Pretty nice...

~~~

"AHH!!!" Kagome screamed, "Oh my god! I'm late! late for work!" Kagome bursted out of bed and shot for the bathroom.

It was already five minutes when she got out, "Shit!! I'm not gonna make it!" Kagome grabbed her purse and slammed the door behind her, then froze, "*gasp*!....my keys!! no! my keys are in there!" she turned around and started banging on the door(like that ever works).

"Nonono!! fuck!" she forgets about the door and starts running to work in her high heels, tripping almost 2 times, the thrid time she actually tripped, but it didn't really hurt, so she got up and started running again.

Kagome got to the store and opened it, inside was Kikyo and Inu Yasha flirting with each other as usual, then he started kissing her, then more intamately, then it looked more like sex.

Kagome couldn't help but feel a little anger inside her, but not a big one, "Get a room you two!" she shouted at them, but they ignored her and still continued the make-out session, Kagome fired up, Kikyo moaned and kept banging on the counter a couple times, then another couple times, "Stop it! stop doing that! it's so annoying!!!" but the she pounded on the counter harder, then another couple times harder.

~~~

*Bang bang bang*

"Mmm....stop it. your driving me nuts." Kagome moaned, then blinked a couple times opening her eyes. Realizing it was all a dream, she also noticed that someone was knocking on her door. Getting up, she yawned and opened the door, "Hello?" but there was no one, she looked all around the corners, then looked down at her feet. It was a note, a cute little love note. Kagome picked it up cautiously and scratched her head while closing the door behind her. She set the envolope on the kitchen table, curiosity dragged her to actions, she decided to open the letter. Inside, it was plain white, but smelled fimilar. She spread the note apart and read it:

To Kagome:

Kagome, I don't know if you remember me...I still love you, I'll never let you go...and I'll be waiting afterwork. I won't tell you when though, it's a surprise.

~Anoymous lover

"Huh?" was all she could say after the note, then Kagome got a little scared, having a stalker around and all. *Better keep my eyes pealed...* she thought.

*********

It was the work day, a NORMAL day, thank god it wasn't like in her dream. First thing she saw when she entered Ai Hanna was Kikyo checking the cash register. She looked up and greeted Kagome warmly, Kagome cocked an eyebrow.

"Hey Kaggie!!" she said sweetly, "I want you to meet someone! I just hired her yesterday! on the phone, she applied for everything I needed as an employee."

"Huh....then, does this mean I'm fired?"

"No! no silly...of course not." Kikyo giggled.

"Oh, okay." Kagome sighed, she dropped her bag behind the counter, "so, when is she coming?"

"Today...at 9:30am." she said.

Kagome wasn't excited about it, not really. At 9:30am right on the dot, the girl came, Kagome was impressed, she was really pretty, as pretty as one of those south beach girls, plus the implants too, big ones at that.

"Kagome, this is Jiina(jeena) Ryokutsu." Kikyo indroduced, Kagome shook hands with her, her hands were as soft as the other women's. This girl, she had long brunette hair, crimson eyes, and the perfect tint of blush on her cheeks.

She kept smiling at Kagome, "Hi...have we met before? you seem fimilar..."

Kagome was surprised, she could say the same, thing, the brunette hair reminded her of something. But oh well, everyone seemed fimilar to her these days, "I don't know...maybe at a club or something?"

Jiina giggled, Kagome smiled too but didn't see anything funny though. Jiina was just about Kagome's heiht, but she was taller, only by like a millimeter. Kagome wished she looked something like her at least, she felt so ugly now.

Kikyo showed Jiina around the shop and told her the jobs to do and when to close and open, Kagome was gonna close shop and work later on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, while Jiina did the rest.

Kikyo said that she would be leaving in 5 minutes to have dinner with lunch with Inu Yasha, Kagome and Jiina just ate inside and had small talk.

"So Jiina, where did you work before?"

"Oh um....I was a dancer."

"Oh really? that's nice...I used to dance a lot too.." Kagome stated.

"Yep." a smile hardly reached her face, it was like Kagome was boring her.

Kagome smiled back the same way, "...why did you move here and quit?"

"Well, my last-...my last boss got really mad at me...I was only doing my job, then I decideed to forget it and move to Florida. I was sick of dancing anyway..it was too tiring messing up and starting all over again."

"Oh..I see. That's horrible."

"No, not really, I'm sick of that jungle that I live in anyway." she gave a full smile, and so did Kagome. They talked the whole day, Kagome felt better because there was someone to talk to, Kikyo didn't count, she was too bitchy. Not that Jiina wasn't either, Jiina was the excat same as south beach girls, worried about how they looked, Kagome had her suspisions with Jiina, but Jiina was pretty nice anyway.

By the time work was over, Kagome decided to relax and forgot about everthing that was going with her life, in other words, a nice bubble bath. There was a knock on the door, again. Kagome almost fell asleep in the tub, she groaned and grabbed a towel to wrap herself in and dried a up a little bit. She opened the bathroom door, cold reached everywhere on her body instantly, she quickly ran to the front door, opening it not checking who it was . . .
