InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ It All Happened At Chez Magnific ❯ The New Waitress ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1:TheNew Waitress

Kagome was running around making sure each table had what it needed before she let the first customers in. She usually didn't do that part, but Sango was sick no matter how much she tried to convince them she wasn't or try to get out of her bed. Kirara was with her to make sure she didn't leave her room except to go to the bathroom. She sighed in relief when she finished and brought in the first customers.

"Welcome to Chez Magnific. How many are in your party?"

"Five."

"Please come this way," she said as she led them to a five seating table. "Here are your menus. Your waiter will be here soon to take your order." She looked up to make sure that Shippou was ready for work. Inuyasha and his brother Sesshoumaru were in the kitchen with Miroku cooking. Jaken would clear the tables when a group left so it would be ready for another. Kagura washed the dishes that piled up in the kitchen and dried them with her wind. Rin, Ayame, Souta, and Kohaku were also waiters/waitresses working here.

Here was the mansion that they lived and worked in. When you walked in through the front door, there would be three doors and a staircase. You would have to go straight to go into the restaurant. When you walk in and look to your left there was the staircase leading to the next two floors which contained their bedrooms, bathrooms, training rooms, and library. The other two doors on the first level were also bedrooms. They were on either side across from each other.

After a few groups came, the place started to get packed. The waiters were running around and the cooks were frying, sizzling, grilling, etc. to quickly get the orders to the customers. When it was an hour to closing time, a girl came and Kagome seated her. She was about twentyish, petite, and had hazel eyes and long brown hair. She ordered and then noticed how hard it was with so few people working here and decided that she would ask the question, that she had been thinking of for a while, when Kagome came to give her the bill. It wasn't too long after that decision that Kagome did come.

“Um, excuse me. I know you're busy, but can I ask you a question?”

“Quickly!”

“Can I work here?”

“What?”

“Can I work here?” she asked slowly.

“Pay your bill, sit at the bar, and wait until this closes, then, we can talk,” she said as she whisked away with the girl's credit card and bill. She came and gave her the card back, then went to seat the next person. The girl walked to the bar where Sango was. (A/N: she escaped and Kirara is watching her down here making sure she doesn't overexert herself)

“What would you like?”

“Jack Daniels and coke.”

“Coming up. Didn't you just eat?”

“Yeah. I asked the hostess a question and she told me to wait here until the night was over. It's only another half hour, anyways.”

“What did you ask her?” Sango asked as she gave her the drink. She took a sip before replying.

“If I could have a job.”

“You're hired.”

“What?”

“We need more help and you look like you could be handy. Myouga!”

“Yes?”

“We have a new girl. I just hired…”

“Lauren,” the girl filled in.

“I just hired Lauren.”

“Okay, first, you may not want to, but you need to live here.”

“Fine by me, I was looking for an apartment anyways.”

“Next your uniform. Skirt or slacks?”

“Skirt.”

“Okay. What hours are you okay with?”

“I'm not really a morning person but I can get up any time you need me to.”

“Flexible schedule, that's great. What position would you like?”

“I can do any one that you want me to.”

“For now, you'll be a waitress.”

“Fine. When do I start?”

“Could you start now? It's the end of the night, but we need someone to wipe down the tables.”

“Sure. Afterwards, can I go home to pack my stuff?”

“Of course. You can stay at your house tonight and bring your stuff tomorrow. We'll be expecting you at nine tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me.”

“Yes, yes. You better get started. Sango will give you whatever you need for tonight to clean. See you bright and early. I'll tell everybody.” With that, Myouga (He's still a flea) hopped away.

“Weird,” she said shaking her head. Taking the supplies from Sango, she replied, “Thank you.”

“No problem. I'm going to give you some warnings first. Miroku will feel you up. If he does, just tell me.”

“I'm sure he wouldn't mind being sprawled out on the floor with lumps on his head if he touches me.”

“I like you already. Anyway, Sesshoumaru is really stoic. Be respectful of him or you'll regret it.” Lauren snorted at this but Sango continued, “Inuyasha has a foul mouth and a bad temper. Kohaku is pretty quiet. Rin is very social. Shippou is very expressional with his feelings. Myouga will suck some of your blood. Then again, he's a flea so it's expected. Kagome is pretty nice, easily impressed sometimes, and is a hothead when it comes to Inuyasha. You might want to stay away when they're in an argument and she sits him. Kagura isn't really a talkative person. She's not easily impressed and may pretend to ignore you while she's actually analyzing you. I think that's about it. Oh, I'm very skilled in martial arts and you don't want to get on my bad side.”

“Thanks for the review. I should get to cleaning now,” Lauren said grabbing the stuff and turned around just to become faced at Kagome.

“She's working?” Kagome asked.

“Yep, Myouga was just questioning her and I was just giving her the lowdown.”

“Fine.” She turned around and watched Lauren. “Do you think she'll be fine?”

“She looks tough enough to handle almost anything.”

“Yeah, but looks can be deceiving.”

“We'll just have to wait and see.”
