_________________________________________________________________
A groan was heard as a pillow was pulled over a head to block out the noise that has been
constant the past two nights now. Her neighbor or neighbors had just moved in and were
obviously still breaking in the place from what she has heard. All she has heard at 3 am is
yelling and laughing and the occasional groan from the wall in her bedroom.
It was hard enough that she hasn't slept any since they have moved in but she has to
work in the morning at 6 am! Why the hell didn't these people ever go to sleep! Its seems
they always quiet down a few minutes before her alarm goes off. Like they know that she
is fixing to get up. Well its fixing to stop now, she has had enough of this.
Throwing the pillow off her head, she yanked off the warm comfy blanket only to be hit
with a chill from the room. Walking over to her closet she grabbed her black robe and put
it on, not even bothering to tie around her waist. She stumbled her way threw the room as
she made her way to the front door.
`I will be firm but nice about this', she thought as she yanked open the door and stalked
next door. Raising her hand to the door labeled 71, she knocked and brought her hand
back down to her side.
Obviously no one heard her knock because the party was still going on in there. Now
seriously pissed off she brought her fist to the door and proceeded to beat the door down
until someone opened the damn thing.
The banging had caught there attention as she heard shuffling from within the apartment
as the person in question came and unlocked the door and yanked it open.
Kagome's breath caught as she saw who had answered the door. In front of her was a very
attractive, no scratch that a very handsome man. Golden eyes stared into her midnight
blue ones with anger that then turned to curiosity. Silvery white hair glowed in the light
that came from the room as he leaned against the door frame with his hands across a bare
muscled chest with sweatpants riding low on his hips.
Her eyes widen with realization that she had been staring at him as a blush reached her
cheeks. He noticed this as a smirk came among his face as a white dog-like ear twitched
in her direction, getting her attention.
`He's a half-demon', she thought with curiosity as well.
All of her admiration went down the drain as soon as he opened his mouth. Why he had
to ruin the moment she will never know.
"What do you want wench?", he asked as he watched in amusement as her eyes lit up in a
blaze at the name.
"My name is Kagome, not wench!", she yelled at him startling him at this.
"What do I care, why are you at my door half naked?", he said as his anger started to get
to him. At the word naked someone from within the apartment apparently fell out of a
chair as running feet could be heard. A man with gray eyes and black ponytail at the nape
of his neck came bolting to the door as the man with silver hair blocked his way with a
arm across the door.
"My lovely lady, my name is Miroku and what do we owe this pleasure with your
presence", he asked as he looked Kagome up and down. She blushed at this before she
realized what she was wearing. No wonder he said she was half naked, she was wearing a
sports bra and track shorts with her robe open. She quickly closed it getting a groan from
Miroku which the silver-haired man merely rolled his eyes at.
"I am not half-naked! These are my night clothes, you know the stuff people wear, when
they try to rest. Sleep, have you ever heard of it?", she asked as ears laid down on his
head as he glared at the girl in front of him.
"Yes I know what sleep is. What the hell is your point for coming here?", he asked
impatiently.
"Inuyasha that is no way to speak to a lady", Miroku said as he moved Inuyasha's arm
out of the way and grasped her hand in his.
"Lovely Kagome will you do me the honor of bearing my children?", he asked as she
looked at like he had grown a second head. Shock turned to anger as she felt a hand grab
her behind.
"What...the....(smack)..hell is wrong with you!", she yelled as Inuyasha ears laid flat on
his head again at the volume of her voice. Miroku stumbled back from the force of the
blow but with a smile on his face.
`Ahhh...such a firm yet tender behind, what I wouldn't do with-", his thoughts were cut
off by a very pissed off female voice.
"Look all I wanted was to tell you was to keep it down! I have heard nothing but noise
since ya'll have moved in and frankly I'm sick of it. I have work in the morning and
classes in the evening so I can't afford to be tired all day!. So please keep it down or you
will see the consequences for pissing me off.", she said in a threatening voice.
"Wench are you threatening me?", Inuyasha said in a low voice as he glared at her.
"Yes, I am. I was going to be all nice and respectful about this but you blew it when you
opened that rude ass mouth of yours dog-boy!", she fumed at him as he got in her face.
Nose to nose the two glared at each other until a throat clearing got both of there
attention. Both turned to the noise and saw a grinning Miroku standing there.
"My you two have really hitting off I would say. Yes, Inu does have girls bangin' down
his door for him but definitely not in this way. I must say this has been a interesting
episode to watch am I right boys?'", he said as Kagome saw about 4 more guys in the
room. She paled at this realization as Inuyasha growled at the looks the guys were giving
Kagome. He quickly stepped in front of her to block the views as he turned back to face
her hearing words of protest from behind him. Rolling his eyes at the calls he looked at
her pale face, and smirked a bit. Obviously the girl didn't know how attractive she was, it
was not everyday he had a very beautiful girl come bang on his door in nothing but her
night clothes. Not that he minded one bit but he could tell something about this girl
named Kagome was going to be interesting to learn more about. She was not the usual
girl that would throw herself at him, if anything she seemed to like she was a very quiet
person by nature until you rile her up. And he really did like riling her up too, her eyes
took on a cerulean blue color that lit up her whole face. Yes, he would like to get to know
her better but in order to do that he needed to be on her good side which he could tell at
the moment he was not.
"Ok, we will try to keep it down. I didn't know that these walls was so thin, but
apparently they are," he said as he watched her lean back surprised at his sudden tone.
"Umm..ok.. look I'm sorry I came off as bitchy its just I've had a rough week and it
finally got to me and I took it out on you", she said sincerely with a look of tiredness on
her face.
"It's ok I guess I would have done the same thing if I had been in your position", he said
as she smiled slightly.
"Alright then, well I need to go and get those last 2 hours of sleep before I have to get up.
See you around bye", she said and left before he got the chance to say anything else.
Kagome turned and walked to her door when she felt a hand on her arm, looking up she
saw that it was Inuyasha and he had a slight blush on his face.
"Did you need something?", she asked quietly as he moved around a little under her gaze.
"Well, umm...I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime this week, you know
as a way to make up for this incident", he asked quietly that she almost didn't hear what
he asked.
"Umm...sure just come over anytime after 6:30 that's when I'll be home", she replied as
she opened her door and stepped in.
"Ok, I see you then, night", he said as she smiled and closed the door. He didn't notice
the person behind him until it was too late.
"So she lives in apartment 69, what a coincidence that's my favorite position", replied
Miroku as Inuyasha hit him in the head.
"Hands off pervert", he said as he headed to his apartment with Miroku following him
back inside.
"Oh...so you do have a interest in her then?", he asked curiously while Inuyasha just
grunted his response and sat on the couch beside Bankotsu who was playing a video
game with Koga.
"I'll tell you what I liked what I saw that's for sure, maybe I'll ask her out", replied Koga
as he missed the death look Inuyasha was giving him. The others however did not miss
the look and continued to watch between the two.
"She's not that kind of girl Koga", Inuyasha growled at him. Koga turned and looked at
him with a question on his face.
"What do you mean she's not my type of girl?", he asked as his eyes narrowed slightly.
"I mean she isn't going to just sleep with you and leave that's what I mean", Inuyasha
growled out to him as Koga growled as well and put down his remote control.
"And how the hell do you know that? You just met the girl tonight Dog-shit! And now
you claim to know so much about her, tell me what is she like, do share with everyone?!",
he snarled out as he and Inuyasha stood face to face while the others stood to the side
watching intently.
"I know she isn't a slut like some of the girls you mess around with. She's innocent Koga
so leave her alone.", Inuyasha said as Koga stop his growling when heard this. Inuyasha
shook his head and headed to his room.
"I'm gone to bed and keep it down guys she has to work in morning ok", he said as he
closed his door to his room.
"I've never seen him act like this before", Bankotsu whispered to Miroku as he nodded as
well.
"Me neither. There's got to be more than what he is telling us", Miroku said as Bankotsu
agreed with him.
"Well, guys I'm gone I'll see ya later", Bankotsu said as he headed to the door and
opened it.
"Yea, I think I'll head out as well", replied Ginta as Hakkaku and Koga followed him.
"Ok, I'll see you guys sometime this week then", Miroku said as closed the door and
locked it up.
Sighing he looked towards his friends' door and turned towards his own room to go to
sleep. Something was going on with his friend and he was going find out just what it was.
__________________________________________________________________
Inuyasha laid in bed thinking about his neighbor Kagome. What was it that drew him to
her? He just met her tonight and already he was thinking about her. Was it because she
looked like her....like Kikyo? No, he could tell that she was not like Kikyo. Oh, he was
confused and he hated being confused.
He rolled over and tried to go to sleep because he had a long day a head of him later
today. He was not looking forward to meeting with his brother, they always fought when
they got together regardless of what the occasion was.
Ever since his father turned the company over to him and his brother they have been at
each others neck. But they were slowly adjusting to being around each other for so long.
The good thing is he doesn't have to do alot of stuff considering he is just the Vice
President while his brother is the President. It gave him more free time hence why he has
been just staying at his new apartment for the past few days. He honestly didn't know that
his noise had been affecting Kagome as she had said it had. Feeling guilty was something
he did not take to well with. Which is why he asked if he could see her sometime this
week, he really did want to make it up to her and not be on her bad side. `She definitely
had a temper on her that's for sure', he thought smiling as he welcome a dreamless sleep.
________________________________________________________________ __
Kagome had crashed as soon as she hit the bed. These past few days had really built up
on her and her body was beyond exhausted. She definitely needed to go on a vacation or
just a weekend were she didn't have to do any homework or work.
The sound her alarm brought Kagome out of her slumber as she reached over and turned
it off. Glancing at the time she realized she only had 30 minutes till she had to get to
work.
"SHIT!!!!", she screamed as she jumped out of bed and flew into her bathroom for a very
quick shower.
Quickly washing herself and her hair she quickly ran to her closet while rubbing the
towel quickly to dry her body and hair. Grabbing a pair of low rise boot cut jeans and her
work shirt, she got changed and ran to the bathroom.
Putting on a little make-up and brushing her teeth, she blow-dryer her hair a little and
then threw it up in a bun with a few pieces framing her face.
Grabbing a poptart out of the kitchen she got her purse and put her shoes on as she ran to
the door.
She yanked open the door only to ran into a chest. A hand reached out and grab her
pulling her against the body as she almost fell to the ground from the impact. Looking up
she realized it was Inuyasha. He had a look of concern on his face before he realized just
how close they were before he stepped back and let go of her.
"Are you ok? I heard you scream and thought something might be wrong.", he asked as
she blushed slightly.
"Yes...No.. I'm just late for work and I slept in that's all. I just freaked out at the time.",
she said as she turned around and closed the door while locking it.
"Oh ok then...I was just .....you know...checking to see if you were ok...and all...", he
mumbled as he looked at the ground. Kagome just smiled at the gesture, he acted like a
little boy and it was cute.
"I'm fine and thank you for checking up on me. I really appreciate it, but I need to go so I
won't be in so much trouble", she replied quickly as he nodded and moved out of her
way.
"See ya later!", she shouted over her shoulder and bolted down the hallway and out of
sight.
Inuyasha chuckled at her antics, she was always flustered around him. He guessed that
could be a good sign that she might like him a little. Turning around he went back into his
apartment and proceeded to get ready for his day at the office, which he was not looking
forward to at all.
Stripping off the shirt and sweatpants (A/N: Drooling..) he had thrown on in his haste to
get to Kagome he jumped into the shower quickly to clean up.
Getting out he decided that is was going to be a casual day for him meaning just jeans
and a button up shirt. He really did hate dressing up hence why he never did it, plus it
pissed his brother off to no end, so why not have fun doing it. Grabbing a pair of
distressed jeans that rode low on his hips and a red button up shirt with a wife beater
underneath he got dressed quickly and threw on his shoes and walked to the kitchen.
Grabbing a poptart as well he headed outside to his Suzuki Hayabusa 1300R Limited, put
on his specially made helmet for his ears and turned it on. Revving it up he speed off at a
amazing speed.
________________________________________________________________ __
Kagome had just barely made it when she came running into the coffee shop and literally
pounced on the time clock beating it a second. She had sped the whole way here and she
never did that except when she raced. Yes, she secretly raced on the weekends but no one
knew about it except for her friends Sango, Kagura, Ayame and Rin, because they were in
the group that they had formed about 4 years ago called "Phantom Angels". They each
raced something different whether it be car or a motorcycle. Kagome's favorite though
was her Hayabusa motorcycle and she was the only one who could withstand its speed.
Grabbing a towel and picking it in her pocket she headed to the front of the store were she
could see Kagura setting up the coffee.
"Hey Kagome I see you were almost late. Have a long night with a mystery man?", she
asked with a smirk on her face. When she was left with silence Kagura quickly turned
around looked at Kagome who had a blush on her face.
"Oh my god...did you...you know?", she asked quietly looking around the store making
sure no on else was listening. Kagome quickly shook her head.
"No! Nothing like that I mean you know the neighbor I have been complaining about for
the past two days now?", she asked as Kagura nodded her head.
"Well, they were being loud again and I couldn't take it anymore so I stormed over there
PJ's and all and told him off. Only when he opened the door all I could do was stare.",
she said rather quickly that Kagura had to wait a moment to understand what she said.
"So you mean to tell me you went over there in your usual pj's which consist of a sports
bra and shorts and you told him off? What did he do?", she said smiling while leaning
against the counter.
"Well, we just stared at each other for a minute or two and then he had to open his mouth.
He called me a wench!", Kagome all but snarled this part out while Kagura stood there
laughing at her friend.
"Well, to make a long story short I told him either be quiet or he won't like the
consequences which he didn't take to lightly.", she said smirking while Kagura laughed
even harder at this.
"I take...(hehe)...he's not use to a girl telling him off ehh?", Kagura laughed out.
"Obviously not but if you could have seen him you would see why.", Kagome said as she
started to stock the muffins and bagels on the counter while Kagura finished making the
coffee.
"What does he look like?", she asked curiously as her friend took on this dreamy look on
her face.
"He's about 6'ft., with silver hair and these cute little dog-ears. But his eyes are what is
really amazing, there this golden amber color, there beautiful.", she sighed as Kagura just
shook her head at her friend.
"Kagome my dear friend, its time we find you a man. And this man might just be the one
for you", Kagura said as a horrified look came onto Kagome's face.
"NO! I will not date my neighbor! That just seems to weird", she said rather quickly
while Kagura narrowed her eyes.
"No matter we will find you one whether you like it or not. It starts today the man hunt
begins", Kagura with a gleam in her eyes. That gleam always made Kagome nervous
because that meant she was definitely up to no good and that was for sure.
Kagome just sighed and started to wait on some customers that had started coming in the
door. She knew her fate was going to be decided by her friends, she just knew it. Right
then she just wished she was back home in her bed sleeping the day away and not
worrying about what her friends were going to do to her.
__________________________________________________________________
The door bell rang as a tall silver haired man walked up to the counter, he eyed his prey
carefully before making his move. But his prey caught him once more, she was getting
good at this, a little too good.
"Good morning Tashio-sama would you like the usual", asked the chipper yet tired voice
of Kagome as she turned around and face the man.
"Yes, the same dear Kagome. How have you been?", asked as she made his Cafe Mocha
with extra whip cream.
"I'm doing good, I just need to sleep more often that's all. And yourself?", she laughed as
she put the whip cream on top and handed it to him.
"I'm doing good I just wish my sons would quit fighting all the time. I suppose to meet
them today. Is it that neighbor of yours again?", he asked as he moved over to let the next
person in line get there order taken.
"Well, it was but I took care of it, so they shouldn't be a problem anymore", she smiled as
she thought about what happened last night or say early this morning.
"That's my girl. I was wondering if I was going to have to step in and do something", he
laughed as she handed the other customer there drink.
"That would have been nice but I got it. Next time I will take you up on your offer", she
laughed as did he.
"Well, I'm off to the office. I will talk to you later", he said as he picked up his drink.
"Alright then, good luck with those two and don't let them stress you out ok", she said
smiling to him. He smiled back and started towards the door and left.
Kagome watched as he walked out the door and went down the sidewalk. She had met
Mr. Takashi or as he has her call him Tashio-sama about 3 years ago when she started
working here. She did not know that he was the big millionaire that owned half of Japan
but she didn't treat him different hence the beginning of a great friendship among the
two. He had been a sort of father figure to her considering she had lost of father in a car
accident when she was little. He was always checking up on her and her the same, she
always made sure he wasn't over doing himself at work. She had scolded him a few times
for working so hard, that he had started laughing in the middle of the shop. It was quite a
funny scene seeing a 23 year old scolding a man of about 57 in the middle of a shop like
a toddler that was caught doing something wrong. Since that day he hasn't let her live it
down not once. He at least had a very good sense of humor, which was why they got
along so well.
But here lately she had been noticing he was more stressed out than usual and it was
because his sons that recently took over his company. He had to make sure the two of
them didn't kill one another from what he had told her. She could not understand why
they could not get along and neither did he but he had ideas as to why but she didn't
won't to pry so she didn't ask him.
Sighing she looked to the clock, only to notice that she still had 3 more hours to go.
`Man this day is going by sooooo slow, what else could happen', she thought as the door
opened and in came some people that had caused many problems in her life.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here", a chilling voice said behind Kagome as she
stiffen.
`No it can't be!', she panicked as she turned around and saw a people she hoped to never
see again. Panic turned to anger when she saw the two. She had made a promise to herself
that if she ever saw these two women again they would pay and now it would happen
after all these years.
Pay back is a bitch and for these two it would suit them just perfectly......
_______________________________________________________ ___________
Ok, there is the first chapter of my story. I hope I didn't confuse anyone. I deleted my
other two stories called "By the Power of the Moon" and Tough As A Nail or Maybe
Not". But "Discovery of the Catalog is still up and have no plans of deleting that fic
considering so many people love it. No one really read the others, but if still want to read
them e-mail me and I'll send you the chapter.
Please review but don't flame (I really don't pay attention to those anyway). Hope
everyone liked it and I'll review soon! If I can get at least 15 reviews I'll post the next
chapter.
Ja ne,

finally got to me and I took it out on you", she said sincerely with a look of tiredness on
her face.
"It's ok I guess I would have done the same thing if I had been in your position", he said
as she smiled slightly.
"Alright then, well I need to go and get those last 2 hours of sleep before I have to get up.
See you around bye", she said and left before he got the chance to say anything else.
Kagome turned and walked to her door when she felt a hand on her arm, looking up she
saw that it was Inuyasha and he had a slight blush on his face.
"Did you need something?", she asked quietly as he moved around a little under her gaze.
"Well, umm...I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime this week, you know
as a way to make up for this incident", he asked quietly that she almost didn't hear what
he asked.
"Umm...sure just come over anytime after 6:30 that's when I'll be home", she replied as
she opened her door and stepped in.
"Ok, I see you then, night", he said as she smiled and closed the door. He didn't notice
the person behind him until it was too late.
"So she lives in apartment 69, what a coincidence that's my favorite position", replied
Miroku as Inuyasha hit him in the head.
"Hands off pervert", he said as he headed to his apartment with Miroku following him
back inside.
"Oh...so you do have a interest in her then?", he asked curiously while Inuyasha just
grunted his response and sat on the couch beside Bankotsu who was playing a video
game with Koga.
"I'll tell you what I liked what I saw that's for sure, maybe I'll ask her out", replied Koga
as he missed the death look Inuyasha was giving him. The others however did not miss
the look and continued to watch between the two.
"She's not that kind of girl Koga", Inuyasha growled at him. Koga turned and looked at
him with a question on his face.
"What do you mean she's not my type of girl?", he asked as his eyes narrowed slightly.
"I mean she isn't going to just sleep with you and leave that's what I mean", Inuyasha
growled out to him as Koga growled as well and put down his remote control.
"And how the hell do you know that? You just met the girl tonight Dog-shit! And now
you claim to know so much about her, tell me what is she like, do share with everyone?!",
he snarled out as he and Inuyasha stood face to face while the others stood to the side
watching intently.
"I know she isn't a slut like some of the girls you mess around with. She's innocent Koga
so leave her alone.", Inuyasha said as Koga stop his growling when heard this. Inuyasha
shook his head and headed to his room.
"I'm gone to bed and keep it down guys she has to work in morning ok", he said as he
closed his door to his room.
"I've never seen him act like this before", Bankotsu whispered to Miroku as he nodded as
well.
"Me neither. There's got to be more than what he is telling us", Miroku said as Bankotsu
agreed with him.
"Well, guys I'm gone I'll see ya later", Bankotsu said as he headed to the door and
opened it.
"Yea, I think I'll head out as well", replied Ginta as Hakkaku and Koga followed him.
"Ok, I'll see you guys sometime this week then", Miroku said as closed the door and
locked it up.
Sighing he looked towards his friends' door and turned towards his own room to go to
sleep. Something was going on with his friend and he was going find out just what it was.
__________________________________________________________________
Inuyasha laid in bed thinking about his neighbor Kagome. What was it that drew him to
her? He just met her tonight and already he was thinking about her. Was it because she
looked like her....like Kikyo? No, he could tell that she was not like Kikyo. Oh, he was
confused and he hated being confused.
He rolled over and tried to go to sleep because he had a long day a head of him later
today. He was not looking forward to meeting with his brother, they always fought when
they got together regardless of what the occasion was.
Ever since his father turned the company over to him and his brother they have been at
each others neck. But they were slowly adjusting to being around each other for so long.
The good thing is he doesn't have to do alot of stuff considering he is just the Vice
President while his brother is the President. It gave him more free time hence why he has
been just staying at his new apartment for the past few days. He honestly didn't know that
his noise had been affecting Kagome as she had said it had. Feeling guilty was something
he did not take to well with. Which is why he asked if he could see her sometime this
week, he really did want to make it up to her and not be on her bad side. `She definitely
had a temper on her that's for sure', he thought smiling as he welcome a dreamless sleep.
________________________________________________________________ __
Kagome had crashed as soon as she hit the bed. These past few days had really built up
on her and her body was beyond exhausted. She definitely needed to go on a vacation or
just a weekend were she didn't have to do any homework or work.
The sound her alarm brought Kagome out of her slumber as she reached over and turned
it off. Glancing at the time she realized she only had 30 minutes till she had to get to
work.
"SHIT!!!!", she screamed as she jumped out of bed and flew into her bathroom for a very
quick shower.
Quickly washing herself and her hair she quickly ran to her closet while rubbing the
towel quickly to dry her body and hair. Grabbing a pair of low rise boot cut jeans and her
work shirt, she got changed and ran to the bathroom.
Putting on a little make-up and brushing her teeth, she blow-dryer her hair a little and
then threw it up in a bun with a few pieces framing her face.
Grabbing a poptart out of the kitchen she got her purse and put her shoes on as she ran to
the door.
She yanked open the door only to ran into a chest. A hand reached out and grab her
pulling her against the body as she almost fell to the ground from the impact. Looking up
she realized it was Inuyasha. He had a look of concern on his face before he realized just
how close they were before he stepped back and let go of her.
"Are you ok? I heard you scream and thought something might be wrong.", he asked as
she blushed slightly.
"Yes...No.. I'm just late for work and I slept in that's all. I just freaked out at the time.",
she said as she turned around and closed the door while locking it.
"Oh ok then...I was just .....you know...checking to see if you were ok...and all...", he
mumbled as he looked at the ground. Kagome just smiled at the gesture, he acted like a
little boy and it was cute.
"I'm fine and thank you for checking up on me. I really appreciate it, but I need to go so I
won't be in so much trouble", she replied quickly as he nodded and moved out of her
way.
"See ya later!", she shouted over her shoulder and bolted down the hallway and out of
sight.
Inuyasha chuckled at her antics, she was always flustered around him. He guessed that
could be a good sign that she might like him a little. Turning around he went back into his
apartment and proceeded to get ready for his day at the office, which he was not looking
forward to at all.
Stripping off the shirt and sweatpants (A/N: Drooling..) he had thrown on in his haste to
get to Kagome he jumped into the shower quickly to clean up.
Getting out he decided that is was going to be a casual day for him meaning just jeans
and a button up shirt. He really did hate dressing up hence why he never did it, plus it
pissed his brother off to no end, so why not have fun doing it. Grabbing a pair of
distressed jeans that rode low on his hips and a red button up shirt with a wife beater
underneath he got dressed quickly and threw on his shoes and walked to the kitchen.
Grabbing a poptart as well he headed outside to his Suzuki Hayabusa 1300R Limited, put
on his specially made helmet for his ears and turned it on. Revving it up he speed off at a
amazing speed.
________________________________________________________________ __
Kagome had just barely made it when she came running into the coffee shop and literally
pounced on the time clock beating it a second. She had sped the whole way here and she
never did that except when she raced. Yes, she secretly raced on the weekends but no one
knew about it except for her friends Sango, Kagura, Ayame and Rin, because they were in
the group that they had formed about 4 years ago called "Phantom Angels". They each
raced something different whether it be car or a motorcycle. Kagome's favorite though
was her Hayabusa motorcycle and she was the only one who could withstand its speed.
Grabbing a towel and picking it in her pocket she headed to the front of the store were she
could see Kagura setting up the coffee.
"Hey Kagome I see you were almost late. Have a long night with a mystery man?", she
asked with a smirk on her face. When she was left with silence Kagura quickly turned
around looked at Kagome who had a blush on her face.
"Oh my god...did you...you know?", she asked quietly looking around the store making
sure no on else was listening. Kagome quickly shook her head.
"No! Nothing like that I mean you know the neighbor I have been complaining about for
the past two days now?", she asked as Kagura nodded her head.
"Well, they were being loud again and I couldn't take it anymore so I stormed over there
PJ's and all and told him off. Only when he opened the door all I could do was stare.",
she said rather quickly that Kagura had to wait a moment to understand what she said.
"So you mean to tell me you went over there in your usual pj's which consist of a sports
bra and shorts and you told him off? What did he do?", she said smiling while leaning
against the counter.
"Well, we just stared at each other for a minute or two and then he had to open his mouth.
He called me a wench!", Kagome all but snarled this part out while Kagura stood there
laughing at her friend.
"Well, to make a long story short I told him either be quiet or he won't like the
consequences which he didn't take to lightly.", she said smirking while Kagura laughed
even harder at this.
"I take...(hehe)...he's not use to a girl telling him off ehh?", Kagura laughed out.
"Obviously not but if you could have seen him you would see why.", Kagome said as she
started to stock the muffins and bagels on the counter while Kagura finished making the
coffee.
"What does he look like?", she asked curiously as her friend took on this dreamy look on
her face.
"He's about 6'ft., with silver hair and these cute little dog-ears. But his eyes are what is
really amazing, there this golden amber color, there beautiful.", she sighed as Kagura just
shook her head at her friend.
"Kagome my dear friend, its time we find you a man. And this man might just be the one
for you", Kagura said as a horrified look came onto Kagome's face.
"NO! I will not date my neighbor! That just seems to weird", she said rather quickly
while Kagura narrowed her eyes.
"No matter we will find you one whether you like it or not. It starts today the man hunt
begins", Kagura with a gleam in her eyes. That gleam always made Kagome nervous
because that meant she was definitely up to no good and that was for sure.
Kagome just sighed and started to wait on some customers that had started coming in the
door. She knew her fate was going to be decided by her friends, she just knew it. Right
then she just wished she was back home in her bed sleeping the day away and not
worrying about what her friends were going to do to her.
__________________________________________________________________
The door bell rang as a tall silver haired man walked up to the counter, he eyed his prey
carefully before making his move. But his prey caught him once more, she was getting
good at this, a little too good.
"Good morning Tashio-sama would you like the usual", asked the chipper yet tired voice
of Kagome as she turned around and face the man.
"Yes, the same dear Kagome. How have you been?", asked as she made his Cafe Mocha
with extra whip cream.
"I'm doing good, I just need to sleep more often that's all. And yourself?", she laughed as
she put the whip cream on top and handed it to him.
"I'm doing good I just wish my sons would quit fighting all the time. I suppose to meet
them today. Is it that neighbor of yours again?", he asked as he moved over to let the next
person in line get there order taken.
"Well, it was but I took care of it, so they shouldn't be a problem anymore", she smiled as
she thought about what happened last night or say early this morning.
"That's my girl. I was wondering if I was going to have to step in and do something", he
laughed as she handed the other customer there drink.
"That would have been nice but I got it. Next time I will take you up on your offer", she
laughed as did he.
"Well, I'm off to the office. I will talk to you later", he said as he picked up his drink.
"Alright then, good luck with those two and don't let them stress you out ok", she said
smiling to him. He smiled back and started towards the door and left.
Kagome watched as he walked out the door and went down the sidewalk. She had met
Mr. Takashi or as he has her call him Tashio-sama about 3 years ago when she started
working here. She did not know that he was the big millionaire that owned half of Japan
but she didn't treat him different hence the beginning of a great friendship among the
two. He had been a sort of father figure to her considering she had lost of father in a car
accident when she was little. He was always checking up on her and her the same, she
always made sure he wasn't over doing himself at work. She had scolded him a few times
for working so hard, that he had started laughing in the middle of the shop. It was quite a
funny scene seeing a 23 year old scolding a man of about 57 in the middle of a shop like
a toddler that was caught doing something wrong. Since that day he hasn't let her live it
down not once. He at least had a very good sense of humor, which was why they got
along so well.
But here lately she had been noticing he was more stressed out than usual and it was
because his sons that recently took over his company. He had to make sure the two of
them didn't kill one another from what he had told her. She could not understand why
they could not get along and neither did he but he had ideas as to why but she didn't
won't to pry so she didn't ask him.
Sighing she looked to the clock, only to notice that she still had 3 more hours to go.
`Man this day is going by sooooo slow, what else could happen', she thought as the door
opened and in came some people that had caused many problems in her life.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here", a chilling voice said behind Kagome as she
stiffen.
`No it can't be!', she panicked as she turned around and saw a people she hoped to never
see again. Panic turned to anger when she saw the two. She had made a promise to herself
that if she ever saw these two women again they would pay and now it would happen
after all these years.
Pay back is a bitch and for these two it would suit them just perfectly......
