InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Help Me Out ❯ Worries ( Chapter 3 )

a/n: I can't believe I'm actually going to write a third chapter….. You see, I have always had a problem with that…. I start stories and hardly ever get past halfway through writing the second chapter. (Pitiful, I know) ^^;

Disclaimer: Roses are red, Violets are blue, Inuyasha's not mine, so YOU CAN'T SUE!

HOW'S THAT FOR A POEM?!

Okay, getting on with it…

R&R&R&R!!

"Sango? I just thought of something," Kagome said nervously as they exited the airplane and headed off to pick up their luggage. She was still feeling a little queasy and was beginning to become afraid of the cruise ship. If a plane ride upset her stomach this much, she hated to think what a rocking, rickety boat might do.

"What?"

"Umm… it's just that…."

"Spit it out, Kagome!" Sango said, somewhat impatiently.

"We're in America right now! And neither of us is very fluent in English!"

"…" Sango seemed at a loss for words for a moment. But only for a moment. Like always, she had thought it out already (not completely, but enough to satisfy herself that it would all work out) and was quick to reassure Kagome. "Don't worry! We know enough English to get by…. And besides, most of the people who work on the ship are going to be from other countries, as well as many of the passengers. In fact, it is very possible that we'll find a few other people who speak Japanese, and we can all hang out together!"

`Well, isn't she just the most optimistic person ever…' Kagome thought. Despite Sango's reassuring, she still had her doubts.

`Aw, come on Kagome. Get yourself together! You didn't come on this trip to be stressed, you came to relax!' she berated herself mentally. `Well' she argued. `How am I supposed to relax when I don't understand what anybody around me is SAYING?!?!'

It was as she was walking towards her luggage and mentally beating herself up that she ran into something.

"Oof!"

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

As Miroku dragged Inuyasha off of the plane (not that he needed any help-he was dying to get out of there), he began lecturing him on how he should behave on the ship.

"You'll be working the midnight buffet until 2 am, and then you have a shift at the pizzeria until 5, so-"

But Inuyasha wouldn't let him finish. "WHAT?!"

"What, what?" Miroku asked, as if he didn't already know the answer.

"I'm supposed to stay up all night baking pizzas??"

"And setting out food at the buffet," Miroku added, knowing he wasn't helping. "And refilling the ice-cream machines. And also, you'll need to clean tables in between."

"When am I supposed to get any sleep?"

"During the day, of course! For the next two weeks, Inuyasha, you are officially nocturnal!" Miroku was enjoying the look on Inuyasha's face.

"Damn it!" Inuyasha snarled. "… And what about you, huh? What have you gotta do?"

"I will be working the bar in the Sengoku Lounge from 7 to 10 o'clock at night." Miroku stated somewhat proudly.

"WHAT?!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Not this again. What, what?" Miroku asked, exasperated.

"How come you're not working in the wee hours of the morning and I am?! And… wait a second… how come you have a job in a bar when you're not even old enough to drink yet?"

"Number one, I can work in a bar no matter what age I am, so long as I don't start drinking. Number two, the reason I don't have to work `in the wee hours of the morning' as you so nicely put it, is because I have worked here before, they know who I am, and they know I'm a good worker. You, on the other hand are new. You have to work your way up from the bottom, Inuyasha!" Miroku said. "Maybe if you do a good job, you'll be promoted or something." Then, below his breath, he added "Like that's ever going to happen…."

Inuyasha heard that last comment, of course, but decided not to say anything. Instead he sneered at his `friend' and sped up toward Baggage Claim.

And abruptly ran into someone, sending her stumbling.

a/n: I'm sorry I'm stopping here. I know it's short, but I wanted to post this. Would that count as a cliffhanger?

Review Responses!

This is the first time I've done this, I'll keep doing them (if I remember and am not too lazy)

********

Ks-Starshine: I don't think he will…..but that's a good idea. Like I said in chapter one, I don't have the whole story planned out yet.

Eddie4- Yes, I know that already. And I'm kinda disappointed you didn't put anything else in your review. But oh well…. Maybe you will next time?

SMILY- I'm not sure who will be in the story. If I can find a way to work them in, they'll be in the story.

Emily- Don't worry, you're not crazy! I do that all the time.

Sango13- I'm glad you think it's going well. I'm going to try to write longer chapters as I get further into the story. I just wanted to post some first to see what kind of reaction I'd get.

Lilacks- No! Not the puppy eyes! Now I have to update! And I know what you mean (about the "good-bye" thing) I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that! WhooHoo! I live in North Carolina. Maybe you saw us on the news? We got 16 in. of snow (at my house, anyways) last week. Probably it'll be the biggest snowstorm I'll ever see in my life.

Punklunargoddess0- Thanks! Glad you like it. I wish the chapters were longer too!

Monkeymary89- I was going to, but it's NC17 and I don't usually read stories with ratings that high… Anyways, keep reading!

Kenzi- Thank you! Boy, do you yell a lot! Keep reviewing!

*******

Okay, that's about it, I think.

Blue: I'd like to thank everyone who's reviewed… ::gives reviewers little Inu-Plushies:: Keep it up!

MyMalfunctioningMuse: You're lucky you got any reviews at all! Your chapters are too short!

Blue: I know, I know!!

MMM: Well, fix it!

Blue: I'll try…

MMM: ::snort:: yeah right! You're too lazy!

Blue: Am not! I promise to make the chapters longer!

MMM: …

MMM: Ah, yes, I just remembered something. On behalf of… well…. myself… I am going to ask you readers for some help. I'm need suggestions on stuff to happen in the story, if anyone has any-

Blue: NOW WHO'S LAZY?!?!?!

MMM: Uhhh…. As I was saying… I can't guarantee your idea would be used, but I would like some suggestions.

Blue: Bye everybody!! Don't forget to review!!! ::waves frantically::
