:P******************************************

yasha and Kagome walked around another mass of people in the mall.
Kagome, where exactly are we going now. Not another lotion shop I hope."
gave him a sympithetic look. "No. I promise, no more shops like that." They had been looking for another place to work and had stopped by Bath Body and Beyond. It took Inu yasha less than a minute to grab Kagome and haul it out of the store, before nearly passing out. "Actually I was thinking we might go up stairs to Discovery."
Inu yasha glanced up to the huge corner store, that had a sphere of the world next to the title. Inu yasha looked back down when Kagome grabbed his had and started pulling him towards a clear glass box with doors.
on Inu yasha, where going to take the elavator."
walked thorugh the doors, the whole time Inu yasha looked warry. It didn't change when the doors shut, and the thing began moving up. Kagome gave his hand a squeeze to make sure he was ok, he just nodded. Then it stopped and they got off.
was.." Kagome looked over at Inu yasha as he spoke. ".. interesting. What is that the lazy way of getting up stairs here." He said smirking.
scowled. "Hey it was just there, it saved us some time didn't it." Realizing she was still holding his hand, she let go with a bit of a blush. "Well let's go in already."
yasha just crossed his arms and followed. They spotted a lady in black shirt and kaki pance in the middle of the room. Her name tag hung off a string around her neck that went to mid chest. Kagome spoke.
me Miss. Do you work here?"
Lady smiled at her. "Yes I do, I'm the Manager. How can I help you?"
smiled back. " Oh, we justed wanted to apply." She pointed to her silver haired friend.
sure. That's great we really need some extra hands for summer. Be right back." The woman walked over to the registers and picked up two forms on clip boards. " Here fill these out, and hand them to me when you done."
on the wall the Inu yasha got to filling his out, with a little help from Kagome. All in all it probably took 20 minutes, and they turned them in. The Lady looked them over. "Great. So....can you start tomorrow? We need two people for our mid day shift."
duo blinked. Looked at eachother, and then back.
"...uh..sure." And with her intellgent reply they had a new job.
and Inu yasha had to go shopping for the work clothes, as they had no shirts to give them. The only requirments were that you had either a black shirt collared with kaki pance, or white collared shirt with black pance.
opted for a sheer white collared button up blouse with a white tank underneath and black pance, while Inu yasha went with the Kaki look with a normal black collared shirt. Kagome had bought a watch so it would be easier to be one time, and after explain one to Inu yasha she bought him one too.
glanced over as they walked into the shop. *it's nice to see him in something other than red....and the black with his hair...it really looks good.* Kagome had also bought him a black leather thing that snapped around his hair to pull it back at the base of his neck loosely, and a black bandana to cover his ears.
yasha spared a glance. "What, something wrong with what I'm wearing?"
restained a blush and looked forward. "No it just nice to see you in something beside the eye sore clothing from work." She covered.
And with that they started their day at Discovery.
at discovery started out slow, but quickly picked up. Grace, the manager gave told them breifly what to do.
Lesson one...stay away from the till (register). We want you on the floor helping customers, not behind the counter. I really don't care but the CO might stop by today..so avoid it." Kagome welcome this change as she was usually stuck behind the register. " Next: Greet. Just say hi to everyone coming in. I'll teach you our registers in a bit. For the most part you can let Kaji handel it. Kaji come here. " She called over to a brown haired scruffy looking boy, his shoulder hair length pulled back into a short ponytail at the base of his neck.

this is the new employees, Kagome and Inuko. Kagome and Inuko this is Kaji. He'll help you with anything you need. I need to go make some phone calls, and you show them the basics of the store." With that she left.
smiled over at the two, but seemed to put too much attention toward Kagome which made Inu yasha glare. Kaji seemed not to notice. "Well everything is basically easy. We kinda have sections, but they can intermingle. Just stand somewhere and greet and wait for someone who wants help. If there's someone who looks confused you can help them if you want." Kaji continued to show them where the so called ' useless crap' was that people might want.in fuedal japan...
could Inu yasha be? I thought he went to get Kagome!" Said a confused frustrated Sango.
looked up from his cup of tea. They were in Keida's hut doing nothing since the two key people of their small team were missing. Sango was starring out the hut door. "I'm sure there is a good reason Sango."
whirled around to look at him. "And what would that be?" She said half curious, and half wary.
sipped his tea and looked serious. "Maybe he confessed to her his love."
starred shocked. "What?! ...you think he did? But why would they still be gone."
beamed. "Oh yes. That's because they are probably doing a whole lot of baby making."

sat up and rubbed a sore spot where Sago's fist connected. "What?! You don't think so? Besides...what else could they be doing?":P ***********in the furture...
CHOO!" The said Duo sneezed.
blinked. "That was odd."
yasha got a sour look. "Someone is probably talking about us."
who would do that?" Kagome said sarcasticly.
day was constantly busy and a wall of people came in. Kagome surpressed an irratated sigh as another lady came by with her stroller. *The dang things take up too much room!* Kagome watched as two kids crashed the demo cars into eachother..over and over again. Kagome gritted her teeth and wondered for the umptenth time where their parents were. * We aren't a babysitting service.* Finally the kids got bored and left the store, abandoning the cars on the floor. Kagome picked up one, as did Inu yasha who cursed mildy about the kids. He proceeded to flip the car over and take out the batteries. Kagome blinked.
took the batteries out..."
yasha looked annoyed. "Yeah...so no one else will crash them into eachother." He then took the car she was holding and did the same.
but..what happens if Grace asks about it?"
yasha looked smug. " Batteries died."
giggled and took the batteries from him up front. The next few hours were painfully long till they got off.



Inu yasha took of his bandana off as they exited the mall, and rubbed one of his ears. "The bandana is worse than the hat. At least with the hat they have a little room." He alternated rubbing ears as they walked.
tired Kagome glanced up. "Hey, do you think you should really be doing that in public."
yasha gave her a look. "Why, does it bother you?"
sighed. "No. But they do draw attention. But do as you please."
what if people flip out-"
not what I mean."
if one cue, someone let out a high pitched scream. "ahhh." Blonde girl runs up and starts playing with his ears, making Inu yasha jump back. "Those are so cute!"
only smirked at Inu yasha. "THIS is want I meant."
bouncy girl, " Wow they look so real!"
yasha looked like he wanted to blot. "Oh really. That's nice. Well we gotta go." He grabbed Kagome's hand and ran around the corner. After a safe distance away, he stop and put on the bandana. Turning to Kagome. "What is wrong with people from your time? Are they nuts?!"
just shrugged, while laughing to herself.
that night:
was doing some studying for her upcoming summer school. Lucky for her it was only 3 days long. Turning in her chair Kagome spotted Inu yasha on the floor sleeping in his normal wear. Well with the exception of his layer of his fire rat's coat, do to the warm night. Kagome smiled and closed her book. * That's enough for tonight.* She got up and got into bed flicking the light off as she did. As she was close to drifting off she heard Inu yasha mumble something in his sleep.
don't....Kikyou.......Kagome....I'm sorry..."
was now wide awake, her eyes staring blankly ahead. * What...did he mean. What is he dreaming about?* Shacking her head. *It's nothing it's just a dream.* Her eyes turned sad. * A dream probably about Kikyou, and by the sounds of it he was telling me something I didn't want to hear.* One hand clenched the at the sheets on her bed, while she tired to hold back on coming tears. * Just don't think about it and go to bed. Just go to bed.* She repeated this till she finally passed out.

for Inu yasha and Kagome they didn't work till 3, so they could get some rest. Unfotunately the had the closing shift that went untill 11.

crossed the dark blue carpet with a load cart. She picked up a stack to put away, only to have them fall. "Stupid tapes." Kagome knelled down to pick them up. Inu yasha laughed as he walked by with his stack of DVD's.
The tapes to heavy for you?" He said smirking.
up Inuko." Kagome said in a very warning like voice. The day hadn't gone that well. They had twice the number of phyco's then usual, most of which she had to deal with. And the kids section looked just scary, and she was the lucky one who had to organize it.
or Inuko, could one of you come to the front." Said more as a demand from Ken.
Kagome would you go up I..."
sighed. "sit."
And dvd's spilled about. "What was that for."
were even."
was greeted with a nice long line when she got to the front. *I'm never getting away from the till, am I?.* She quickly signed on a register and began ringing people up. Eventually Inu yasha came up front to help, taking the register next to her. The line was shortening pretty quickly, with most the crew up front. Ken went to the back to make some calls. Everything was going well, that is untill the next guy.
irratated man came up to her till handing her a tape. He waved his card at her, already seeming like a jerk. It was then that Kikyou appeared on the screan in the form of a $12.30 late fee. * Crap!* "Sir, you have a late fee for the movie Tomb Raider. It's $12.30."
The man slammed his palm on the counter. " Forget it, I'm not renting. And as for you stupid late fee here." He proceeded to take his money out to pay it. Then he threw change at Kagome. "Keep the change." Leaving Kagome with a hurt expression, frozen in place.

leaving man turned to look at a pist Inu yasha. "What!"
to the her!"
me."
a split second Inu yasha was on the otherside of the counter housting the man up by his shirt. A threating low growl came out. "Now say your sorry."
man tired to squirm out of his hold, then gave up. "I'm sorry, Miss." Inu yasha let him go then, and he hurried out of the store. Inu yasha turned to a surprised but happy Kagome.
smiled, "Thank you Inu y- Inuko."
his 'tough guy I don't care' act on. "Yeah. well just dont' let people push you around like that."
tired to lighten the mood. "Oh man some of the change landed on the carpet. ew."
looked confused. "What's so gross about that?"
looked up. "Didn't you know Kagome? The carpet use to be pale blue. But so much dirt and...'stuff' got on it that you can't clean it."
and Inu yasha paled.
continued. "Not even vacuming can make it clean. And people have tired shampoo-ing."
interupted. "Shinji get back to work." Turning to Kagome and Inu yasha. "You two finish up the carts."
and Inu yasha head back to there carts. On the way Kagome glanced at the still pale Inu yasha. "Inu yasha, I promise to never si.. I mean you know ..in the store again."
had better not. By the sounds of it, it sounds worse than landing in dirt." A slight shudder ran down him.
the carts were finished and the store closed. Then cleaning and organizing ensued. Inu yasha was organizing the rows of videos, while Kagome cleaned the front. Shinji wash rushing back and forth with the vacume. Ken came out the office from counting the money intake. "Today was a rough one indeed. So everyone, how does the local Bar sound? Drinks on me."
stopped what he was doing, "Alight." He cheered as he pumped his arm up and down. "I'm in. How about you Tweeker? You and Inuko coming?"
was quiet and looked over to Inu yasha, who only shrugged. Turning back, "Sure, why not. It'll be nice after today."

the chapter was getting a tad long so I descided to split them up. Oh and sorry for any spelling errors, word has disappeared off my computer completely. T_T Probably something to do with my brother blowing it up and having to prepare it. Just maybe. *glares his direction* But he did add some nice stuff to it including a better graphics card. ^-^ ! Yeah me. Fear not! The next chapter is already done. If it's not up yet for some odd reason, just wait a moment, I'm probably reading it over.
