InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The One Who Heals My Heart ❯ Chapter 21 ( Chapter 21 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

A/N: I wonder if anyone really reads these..... Anyway, I'm really sorry that it took me so long to get this chapter out for you. Many things happend to prevent me for getting it out earilier. And I know how much I hate it when authors take so long to get chapters out on the stories I'm reading. But I have some really good reasons!! honest!!! The first is that we moved right after I decided to take this story further then it origally was. The next was that I found out that I was pregnant for the fourth time!! And the bad thing was that it wasn't an easy one like the last three. I ended up getting very sick while I was pregnant. Unfortunately that sickness kept up for three months after the baby was born. Then I ended up with post-partum and didn't want to do anything.... including writting. The next thing to happen.... my damn Comp died on me. It's been 6 months and my hubby still hasn't taken it in to get fixed like he promised. But I stole his and am writting on it now. unfortuately, I had to read my own story to find out where the hell I was in it. So finally I got the chance to sit down and go online and read it... since I don't have the orgianal comp that I wrote it on I don't have it saved. But hopefully this is still with how the others were written, and you all like it. I'll try to get the next Chapter out soon. and I promise, it won't be anouther two years before that gets done!!!

Chapter 21

It didn't take Kagome long to get itno the swing of things. The area under the VIP section was actually the first to fill up. Apparently it was one of the more popular spots. The lucky thing was that it didn't take up a huge area either.
The only problem for the night was the bouncer that was in charge of the VIP section. He didn't get too star struck by the band, but then he knew them. The problem was that he wouldn't quit flirting with Kagome everytime she went by him. He seemed to think that it didn't matter that she was engaged. She asked him to stop multipule times, but it just didn't seem to faze him. She didn't like the idea of telling Inu, because he'd probably just fire the guy. And telling him that it was Inu that she was to marry didn't work. Kaori just lughed and asked why she would be working if she was going to marry such a rich guy. It was getting to the point where she may just have to go to Toki about it, which she didn't want to do because she didn't know if he would tell Inu or not.
The night was going good, Kagome getting alot of tips, and nice people at her tables, but she was starting to wonder when she would be able to go on a break. Her feet were starting to hurt. That was when Haya came up to her.
"I need to send ine of the other girls on their breack first, but when she gets back you can go."
Kagome let out a sigh. "That'll be great."
Haya smiled. "Fett getting sore?"
"Ya, I wasn't thinking when I grabed these shoes to wear. If I had thought ahead, and remembered how much a waitress had to be on her feet, I wouldhave grabed something I've broken in, not these new ones."
Haya gave a little laugh. "But i'll bet these will be broken in after tonight. Anyway. she'll be back in about 15 minutes, so you might want to go and see if anyone in your area needs a refill. Let them know taht you'll be going on a 15 minute break, and that I'll be looking in on them if they need anything. The guys up in the VIP will get their own if they need it while you're on break. They know I hate it up there."
"I was wondering why you didn't take the area. I mean it's the easier area isn't it?" Kagome asked.
"No," she answered. "Not with all of those stupid stairs they have to go up there. I have a bad knee and got surgery done on it not too long ago. Becasue of that I don't do alot of stairs."
"Oh..."
"Don't worry about it. Just get the drinks for your area quickly and then go on your break. If you want, you can go to the staff room and just sit, or you're aloud to sit in the VIP section if no one but the bosses and their friends are up there."
"Thanks," Kagome said with a smile as she went to check on her area.
She decided to get the area on the main floor first. That way if the other's didn't want anything she could just sit down. It didn't take too long to make sure the area had everything they needed, and she headed for the stairs.
"Hi hot stuff."
Great, Kagome thought. Now I have to get throught Kaori first. I really don't like this guy. Why can't he get it that I'm not avalable?
"Hi Kaori. Would you please stop calling me that? I don't think Juro would like it if he heard you."
"I still don't beleive that you're engaged to him.... or anyone for that matter. First off, you don't have a ring. Secondly, why would Juro Hogosha let his fiance work? It's not like he needs the money, or you if you are engaged to him. He's generous to a fault, and I'm sure he would be even more generous to his girl."
Kagome sighed. "Whatever Kaori. I'm not going to argue with you. I just need to get up there to see if they need anything before I go on my break. Would you mind getting out of my way."
He just smiled, thinking he had won, and moved for her. As she passed him, he grabbed her ass..... just like Miroku used to. She let out a slight yelp and swung at him. He dodged it....unfortuneately.
Kagome glared at the bouncer. "Do that again, and I won't hesitate to tell Juro and Kin. I'm already tempted to tell Toki about what you've been doing. Don't make me get you fired."
With that she went up to the VIP section. She was still fumeing when she walked up to the group sitting up there.
"Is there anything I can get you before I go on my break?" she tried not to let her anger show.
Inu frowned as he looked at her. He could tell that something was bugging her. He wasn't going to go into it with the other's there though. He knew that she'd tell him if she wanted to. It may be something that she wanted to deal with herself.
Everyone responded to Kagome's question in the negative, so she took a seat at the table. She tried to push the incedent with Kaori out of her mind. She'd think on it later.
It wasn't long before she had to get back to work though. As she got up, Shippo asked her if she wouldn't mind getting him a bottle of water. Kagome just smiled at told him it wasn't a big deal, it was her job after all.
It was fianlly the end of the night, and Kaori had been on his best behaviour after Kagome had threatend to tell on him. He was still sure that she wasn't telling the truth though. Expecially since the whole group that had been up in the VIP section had left before the club was closed for the night. None of them waited for her to get done for the night. She clamed that it was because they knew that Toki would get her home fine when he asked, but even that he wasn't sure on. After all, Toki hadn't even talked to her all night. And Kaori would know. He had been watching her the whole night. The only time he couldn't was when she went up the stairs, and Toki never once went up there that night.
However, there wasn't a chance to find out if she was telling the truth or not, since it would look suspcious if he were to wait out the night until she left. Kaori usually left as soon as he was able to, and so he did that this night too.
Kagome couldn't have been happier. She really didn't like that guy. As she was cleaning up her area, Yoshi came up to her.
"How was your first night on the job?"
Kagome smiled. "It wasn't too bad actually. I made tons of tips, which is nice. And all the regulars that Haya introduced me to were really nice. I like the atmosphere around here. It's very friendly."
"Some times it's a little too friendly. I saw how Kaori was acting around you. Watch out for him. I've never trusted the guy."
Kagome was glad she wasn't the only one.
"If I'm around, you can just run to me if he bugs you. The dude is scared of me."
She smiled. If she hadn't known that Yoshi was a sweet and shy guy she would have been scared of him too. The guy was buff. You could tell that he took the time to work out each day.
"Thanks Yoshi, I'll keep that in mind. I think I could use all the help I can get when it comes to him. I ended up having to threating him with Juro, Kin and Toki. Now I'll have more to threaten him with."
Yoshi smiled at her. "Let me help you get done with this. You're the last to finish tonight. Which is understandable, it being you're first night tonight. I think Toki is waitng for you."
"Thanks so much. He's waiting to take me home. the others asked that he take me home because Akiko got a phone call the Etsu was having one of her nightmares again. The only ones that can calm her down are Juro and Kin... and it has to be both of them. So all of them decided to get all the kids and go home earily."
Yoshi smiled and started to help her out. It wasn't long before they were done with the clean up, and were all on their way home.
