ALSO another thing, you may be confused with a few things, most of them will be answered in this chapter, but other wise feel free to ask…okay now that we got that out of the way…ON with the story!

 

 

Sango and I at the moment are walking through town, which isn't very big. I could tell that every one knew everyone's business, and right now, I seem to be the object of everyone's curiosity. Apparently, Windford doesn't get many new comers, especially with my looks and accent.

 

Though I did loose the main features of a mermaid when I turned human, I still carried the same looks. My skin no longer had a bluish tint to my skin that thankfully turned a paler color. If it hadn't, I would be getting a lot more stares. But on the other hand, my hair stayed exactly the same, dark blue with purple streaks, though it only looked blue when the sun hit it and my eyes stayed the same unusual silvery blue color. Also where my gills had once been now lay a thin, barley noticeable scar.

 

Between my hair and my very odd ways of doing things, I was getting a lot of strange looks. Nosey people in this town…

 

 

Now you may be wondering why is it that I can adapt so easily to the way things are done on land, when I have lived in the sea all my life, well there are two reasons for that. One is as I have told you before, we Merfolks are a very intelligent race, and can learn things easily. And two is that this isn't the first time I had been on land. Remember I told you how my brother taught me how to transform, well of course afterward, being the curious beings we are; we had to explore and test out our new found legs. It was too interesting to pass, so we spied on the way the land dwellers did things.

 

Back to were I was before, Sango and I were walking through the town, occasionally stopping at a store to pick up some items, such as food, clothing for myself (Cause I have none) and any other item I might need for my stay in Sango's House hold.

 

When Sango, started paying for my stuff, I couldn't let her do it. She was already doing so much for me as it was, so I decide to speak up about it.

 

“You shouldn't have to pay for me; you've done so much already. I couldn't ask that of you...”

 

“Non sense. I am happy to do so, and you do need some clothing, you can't keep borrowing mine forever now, could you?”

 

“I would feel a lot better though, if there was some way I could repay you for all of this. May be I could get a job while I'm here, you know, so I could pay you back, and eventually, buy my own things so I wouldn't have to impose on you any more then I already am”

 

Really I would. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, I was barging in on her home and life, using her money, when she's already helped me so much. I could see the emotions pass through her eyes like she was debating about it. After a few moments of silence she began to speak.

 

“I think we could do that. We'll look for a job for you while we're out. But for the moment, let me pay for your things, and don't you dare think for one moment you are imposing on me. If you were, you wouldn't be with me right now.”

 

She was right, she's the kind of person who doesn't take shit from any one, and if they bother her, she'll tell them so. I couldn't do anything but nod my head at her and she walked away to go pay for the items.

 

Once we left the store, we walked around a bit in silence. It wasn't awkward though, it was a comfortable silence, and we both decided not to break it, until we came upon a book store. We walked in and went to the counter. Sango spoke first.

 

“Would you happen to be in need of another worker, because my friend here is looking for a job? DO you have any openings?”

 

He took one look at me, and told us No. I could tell he was lying though. It was all in his eyes. I'm actually very good at reading people, and like they say `the eyes are the window to your soul', and his eyes were looking upon me with curiosity, but distaste. Apparently this person was not very open to things that are different. Just like my people… I pushed those thoughts away.

 

Now is not the time to think about home. With that Sango and I left the store.

 

We walked for a little while longer while Sango started giving me suggestions for jobs.

 

“Food Merchant?”

 

“No”

 

“How about a clothing sales women?”

 

“Nah, Cloths aren't really my thing”

 

“Hm, let's see, A Street singer?

 

I give her a look, and apparently she got the meaning.

 

“Ha-ha, I guess that is a no. Ooh I Know, follow me”

 

With a look of excitement, I did. I followed her to the end of the street. It was less crowed here, I had to give you that, but other than that I found nothing special. Then she Turned left into a wooden store, filled with very old objects. It was an antique store. I am quickly startled out of my thoughts when Sango yells something…myoga?, what was that some kind of message or item maybe.

 

Apparently it was a name, for a few seconds later a man a little older then her with graying hair, came from the back.

 

“Sango! What can I do for you today? How are you?”

 

“Hello Mr. Farrell, I'm doing wonderful, How `bout you? Are you doing well?”

 

“I'm doing great, thank you, and how many times must I say to call me Myoga, calling me `Mr. Farrell' makes me sound old. Well what can I do for you and your lovely friend Sango?”

 

“This is Kagome, she's new to town and is looking for a job. I brought her here in hopes that you might be able to help us with that. You see, many of the people who run the stores down there keep turning her down, for they either fear her cause she's different…”

 

Ah some memories resurfaced again, but I pushed them aside so I could listen to Sango.

 

“… or they fear what she will do for their business, so they all turned her down.”

 

“Ah, yes, you're the strange newcomer every ones been talking about. Don't listen to any of them; they're all just a bunch of gossiping fools. Oh yes, how rude of me, I'm Myoga Farrell, Owner and founder of this shop, it's wonderful to meet you, Kagome was it? Well Welcome to Windford, how do you like it here so far?”

 

“It's been wonderful here; Sango and her family have been so nice to me. I don't really know if the towns people here actually like me, but other then that it's pretty nice here.”

 

“Well now, since you seem to be having a dilemma, finding a place to work, you may work in my shop if you wish. God knows I could use an extra hand around here, But you got to be willing to work, no Laziness. SO what do you say?”

 

I could barely contain the happiness in my voice when I answered him. He's the first person here besides Sango to look past my differences. So I eagerly replied.

 

“Thank you Mr. Farre—I mean, Myoga. I will gladly take the job, I'll do my best”

 

He laughed at my excitement.

 

“I'm sure you will. Well do you think you can start tomorrow? I will explain all of the details then. So 10 o'clock tomorrow.”

 

“Alright. Thank you again for your kindness. I wont let you down I promise, Bye!”

After we said our good byes, me and Sango exited and started walking back to her home, which was a little off of the village itself. As we walked back we talked.

 

“Well that was nice of him”

 

I didn't know what else to say, so I had to start the conversation. The silence was getting to me. I was happy when she replied.

 

“He's a good man, Myoga that he is. He doesn't like to judge people by their looks or differences, that's why he's so likable. I thought you would enjoy meeting him. Are you happy you got the job?”

 

“Oh yes. I can't wait to start. But tell me a little about Mr. Farrell.”

 

“Well….”
