Well this idea came to me randomly as I tried to picture Kagome with a summer job. This is mainly humor. Enjoy! ^-^ -Neko no Baka (NB)
Kagome Video- Ch.1: Let the Fun Begin.
*The group was finally taking a break from shard hunting. Seeing as it was really hot and there just were no shard rumors. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't any left to be found. What was really surprising was the fact that Inu yasha was the one who suggested the break. Maybe he finally noticed they were tired. So I went home to see my family. School was out so I could relax a little. I still had to take some summer courses to make up for her lack of attention to school. *sigh* Why me.*
Kagome adjusts her visor. *How did I get into this mess. Oh yes, now I remember.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all started when I got home I noticed a hole in the wall exposing some pipes. "Mom what's going on?" Kagome spotted her mom talking to a man in a gray jumper with some logo on his shirt. Judging by his equipment around him he looked to be a plumber.
"Oh Kagome your home!" Her mom ran over to her while the man left. "Kagome the plumbing is all messed up. Some of the pipes even need replacing." She could hear the tension in her mom's voice.
"Mom what is it?" Kagome stepped back to see the nervous wreck of a woman.
After a moment of hesitation her mom began. "Well it's just..We don't really have enough money for the repairs. And.." Her mom suddenly looked hopeful. Her mom's eye light up, causing Kagome to flinch."Kagome!"
"Oh no." Kagome waved her hands in front of her face. She didn't know what her mom was thinking but it couldn't be good.
"Wait. You haven't even let me speak."
"If this is any idea like grandpa's, that involved me dressing up in a priestess robes, and asking for donations for the temple. Then forget it!" Kagome said firmly. Her mom only laughed playfully.
"No no. Actually I was thinking... You could get a summer job."
*As terrifying as the word `JOB' sounded, it couldn't be much worse than fighting demons. And have your previous self trying to kill you. And I do have a few weeks off, well or till Inu yasha comes for me.*
"Um, ok." And that was my famous last words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
*Yeah right, I think I'd rather have the other. This brings me to my present situation, my `JOB'. Immediately I went out and got the simplest job I could think of that paid well. A video store job.*
Kagome shoved a few more videos on the shelf. Then heard her name called. "Kagome we need you up front." *sigh* *Oh well* She abandon her cart of videos and headed to the front in her kaki pance, tomato red shirt with it's gray collar and trim. Her shirt tucked into her pance, with a belt around it. And to top it off, a gray visor. *great, for an eye sore huh.* "Stupid shirt. It's sized for fraternity wear." They had been out of her size. Kagome finally reach the front.
"Ok get on 'Till' two." 'Till' was the name for the computer registers up front. Too bad they didn't have the internet.
Kagome logged on and prepared to take a customer. The first one wasn't so bad, which made her smile. * Why do I hate this working register again?* Her memory soon came back to her as soon as the next person came up. The man just dropped his videos on the counter, and sat there expectantly. That wasn't that bad part. The man's face dared her to upset him. *Great…* "Do you have you card on you?"
"No."
"Ok how about your id." The man flipped it open, and didn't look like he was going to had it over any time soon. So she typed in his name. It came up and she brought up his account. Instantly something EVIL (at least to her) flickered on the screen. * Great, `Mr. Personality' has a late fee.* She knew this type of customer. They go off at the smallest late fee; in this case it was $2.15. And would demand the manager or make a scene saying they had them in on time. *Which some do and errors can happen but seriously. * Looks at account and credits for late fees. * This is ridiculous.* "Sir you have a $2.15 `balance' for the movie…Godzilla." Instantly he went on a tangent.
"WHAT! I turned it in Tuesday! And I know it was in on time!"
"Correct. It was time, but the wrong day. It was due Sunday." Kagome said calmly. The man flustered grumbled and that was her cue to continue. So she rang up the 3 videos. Ok that's $14.56." The man paid and left the store of `Ground Breaking Videos'. * Well that one wasn't so bad.*
It stayed busy, but with only a few problems. Which was a real nice change of pace. * Yeah, no psychos today. Maybe there aren't really that many bad people.*
A nice line had formed by now. The next man to come up had a dark gray suit on, was bald and had glasses. Looked like he might work at a nice company, or tires to look that way. He set his videos on the counter and she asked for his card. He got it out and Kagome scanned it. Kagome again saw her nemesis flicker on the screen, which she lovingly dubbed `kikyou'. Oh how it love to torment her. *Then again, this guy looks reasonable.* "There is a $ 12.30 balance, for-"She was cut off.
In a bored tone much like Sesshoumaru's, "You have the power to take care that off don't you." all the while, never looking up from his newspaper. It wasn't even said as a question, more like `just do it.' Kagome decided she hated all people.
*Off all the ..THE NERVE!* It was true to some extent. Kagome could credit some late fees, with permission. And larger ones in half only. Her manager look over and just nodded. *Oh hell no! Fine its only half.* "Sure, but I can only cut it in half." She said with the most sugar coated voice she could muster.
A sigh escaped the man. "fine." And he waved her to continue. *What am I some servant! UGH!* It didn't help that customer service was partly if not mostly considered that. She rang him up. He paid and left. The rest of the day went on like this, with only some semi irritating customers, till 10pm. *I'm so glad I'm not closing. * They closed at around midnight, and Kagome had to walk home.
The air was warm still, since it had been a hot day. *Wish I could have enjoyed it. And why do costumers always rub THAT in.* Kagome sigh. *At least I'm out of my work clothes. I'd probably be harassed on the street about people and their late fees.* "I wonder what Inu yasha is doing. Oh I bet he'd love to see me at my job." She smirked as a sudden image came to mind. "Better yet, I'd love to see him doing my job."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
When Kagome arrived home, she had a surprise waiting for her. Inu Yasha stared down at her from the top step. "What are you doing here?"
Inu yasha looked at her like it was the dumbest question he'd ever heard. "I got bored and came to get you early."
"What?!" *It amazes me that I'm still surprised by this.* Kagome continued to head to the front door. "Well Inu yasha I can't go back just yet?"
He raised an eye brow. "And why is that?"
Kagome merely pointed at the large whole in the wall with the exposing pipes. "THAT is why."
Inu yasha blinked as he stared into the vas mess of a wall. "So… how does this involve you."
Kagome sighed. " I have to help earn money to fix the hole. Though, I had nothing to do with it. And that will take time."
Inu yasha poked at the wall and a piece came off. He decided to leave the wall alone and tune his attention back to Kagome. "Can't you earn it when you get back.." Kagome look cut him off.
"Inu yasha… THERE A FRICKEN HOLE BIGGER THAN THE DOOR IN THE SIDE OF THE WALL!" Calming a little she continued. "I think it should be taken care of first. Besides there no way my mom will let you take me."
"Feh, fine then." Kagome blinked. *Did he really give up? Wow maybe he finally learning to have some pacents.* "I just have to help you earn money so we can get back faster." Kagome nearly fell over.
"W-What?!"
Inu yasha gave her a look. " I said I'm going to help you with your job so we can…"
"No I heard you but… I mean… You never even had a job!"
" If I'm correct this is your first too."
"Yeah but you don't even know what I'm doing."
"So I'll learn, can't be that hard."
Kagome was about to argue about customers but then smiled evilly. "Sure Inu yasha, I'll tell you all about it tomorrow." * Guess I won't be the only one who will have to wear that uniform.* The thought of it almost sent her into laughter. Inu yasha just have her an odd look as they went inside and set up a bed for him.
Yep! Inu yasha is going to work at a video store. So how do you think he'll react to the job? Will the customers survive? Will the wall ever get repaired? ^_^ Guess you'll just have to wait and see. ---Neko no Baka (smor14@yahoo.com)
