For the Love of My Rose Hime

Fifty-ninth Rose: Back to Business Pt.2

By Nikkie23534

The Crescent Cafe...

       "Hell, that is so unfair, Moni. How in the hell are we supposed to meet up to 'Mr. Moneybags' standards. We're broke!" Ban Steamed.

"Besides, I didn't hear you girls complainin' when we hung out the other night!"

       "Awww Ban." Monica pouted playfully. "It's not like that, bud. You my boy!" She laughed, grabbing his chin; using it to shake his head back and forth. "We're just messin' with you guys." She turns her head smiling, missing the deep blush and shy smile on his face.

       "Yeah, Ren baby. Lighten up, sweetie." Kisa smiles, snuggling up to her pouting fiancee. "You know, your the only man that lights my fireworks! Muahhhhh!" She purrs kissing him soundly on the cheek.

       Pouting, and feeling left out, Jakostu whines, "Hey, what about me? Isn't anyone going to say anything about me?"

       Monica pauses for a second, tilting her head in thought. "Hmm...You know what, Jakostu. I'm sorry, you're right! I will say this for you." His face lightens up with anticipation. "I loved that lip gloss you were wearing the other night at the club. Where ever did you get it?" The look on Jakostu's face caused everyone to fallout laughing!

       "What the hell?! That's not even funny, Moni!" Jakostu frowns. "Ahhh... You bastards! Bite me!" He yelled pouting, as he walked into the front to clean tables. This causes a roar of laughter, that lasted a few minutes. Until InuYasha called it to a halt.

       "Alright, guys, that's enough. Leave the little nimrod..." She is interrupted by a very loud 'Hey' coming from the dining area. Causing another round of laughter. "Alone", she said trying to control her own giggles. "Let's get back to work, guys." As the others went back to their tasks, InuYasha notices a quiet form standing off to herself. A frown mars her forehead, as she watches the silent figure. Standing, Yasha walked over to the quiet girl. "Hey, Mai. What's up? Why so quiet?"

       Mai jumps when her employer come up to her, never noticing Yasha coming up on her. "Oh, Yasha-san. I- I'm sorry. I didn't hear you."

       "Mai, I asked what was up with you? You've been so quiet and withdrawn. Are you okay?"

       Mai bites her lip, as she hesitates. Wondering what she should do. 'Maybe I should just tell her. Yash-san has always been there for me when I needed a friend. She's always had good advice, maybe she could help.' She started to open her mouth, when other thoughts went through her mind. Thoughts of the tall dark man that came into her life. A man she likes, but also fears. 'No. No, I can't tell Yasha-san. I just can't tell her. I can't involve Yasha-san in this, I'll just have to find a way to get through this on my own.' Taking a deep breath, Mai steels herself. Plastering a shy smile on her face, she faces her employer/ friend. "I'm fine, Yasha-san", she assures. "I've just been studying really hard. What with midterms coming up, and all. I've been hitting the books until really late at night. That's all, really Yasha-san!"

       Raising one dark brow, InuYasha regards the young woman. Sighing, InuYasha puts her hand on the girls shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Okay, Mai. I understand. Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help." She said, turning from the girl to retake her seat across from Kagome. "I can't give you anymore time off, Mai. You've missed a lot of work as it is. But, I can rearrange your schedule. If you need more time to study. Just let me know, okay?" Mai smiles and nods in relief. Turning to head into the front to help with customers. When she leaves, Kagome leans over to her cousin.

       "Yash! Don't tell me that you're actually buying what she said", Kagome whispers to her cousin with a frown of her own. "It's so obvious that there's something going on with that girl! She's definitely hiding something, Yash!"

       Picking up a wide pastry brush, InuYasha dips it into the container of melted butter. She begins to brush the tops of the rolls she was working on. She pauses for a moment, sparing a glance out the service window to the front. Her eyes briefly watching her employee, as the girl helps a customer. Turning back to her task, she sighs. "Of course I don't buy it, Kags. Not for one second. But, I'm not going to interfere." Kagome was about to comment, InuYasha stops her. "At least not now. I'm not going to force Mai to tell me. I'm going to wait for her to come to me." Standing, InuYasha places the sheet pan of buttered rolls in a tall rack, before buttering the next pan. "Mai is an adult, Kags. I won't force her into telling me what's wrong. Mai will come to me on her own, when she's ready. I just have to be patient and wait."

       A worried frown mars Kagome's forehead, but she nods her eyes straying to watch the girl. "I guess you're right, Yash. It's just that she seems so lost and alone. I just hope that she hasn't gotten herself into anything that she can't get out of."

       "I hope so, too, Kags." InuYasha whispers. "I certainly hope so."

A few hours later...

       The lunch crowd was just ending. The gang was taking advantage of the low time, for cleaning and restocking. Yasha looked down at the clock pinned to her chef's coat. 1:59. Turning to the front door, she waits and smiles, 'Uh-hm...5...4...3...2...1!' Bing-bing! Chimes the bell as the front door swings wide open! "Mama! Mama! Rin is here!" Yells the super hyperactive dark haired girl as she runs straight into the waiting arms of her mother. Giggling, as she is swept up into the loving embrace.

       "Ah, hello my little love! I missed you so!" Releasing the girl to help her off with her backpack and jacket. "Did you have a good day in school, Rin-chan?"

       "Yes, ma'am. I had a very good day!" Taking her backpack form her Yasha, she opens it. Rifling through it, Rin pulls out a paper holding it up for her mother to see. "Lookie, mama! I got an A+ on my spelling test! See! See! I got the + for spelling the bonus word!"

       InuYasha laughed, taking the paper being waved in her face and reading it. She smirked when she saw the bonus word was 'company'. 'Now, that seemed a little unfair.' "Wow, Rin! Awesome job! I know how hard you worked on learning these words. You're daddy and grandpa will be so proud of you!" Yasha said, kissing a plump flushed cheek. "Well, this deserves a special treat. I'll bet, if you go into the back. Show this to Juromaru-oji, he'll let you sneak a one of the cupcakes he's working on! You know the ones he gives you, that I'm not supposed to know about." Rin giggles, kissing him mother on the cheek before running in the kitchen for the 'secret' treat her uncle Juro gives her. Hearing a chuckle coming from the door, Yasha turns to find Myoga standing there. "Ah, Myoga-san! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. Would you like some tea or coffee?"

       The little man smiled warmly at her. "Ah, InuYasha-sama. I would love a cup of coffee, if it not too much trouble."

       "Not at all," InuYasha smiled motioning the middle aged driver to have a seat. Going to the coffee set up behind the counter, she poured 2 cups of coffee. bringing them to the table. "Here you go, Myoga san. Black with one sugar, right?"

       Myoga accepted the cup, nodding a thank you before taking a sip. "Ah...Perfect, just perfect! You make the best coffee, Miss Yasha! Oh, but don't tell Jaken I said that. My cousin can be a little...well...high strung when it come to his skills in the kitchen." They both share a chuckle as thoughts of the little man spazing out come to mind.

       "Oh, your secret is safe with me, Myoga san. Trust me", Yasha assures him before taking another sip. "Oh, Myoga san, what about my truck? Were you able to fix it?" She asked hopefully, pleading with her eyes for good news. But, her hope was short lived with the look in his eyes. "Oh dear, that's not a good look on your face. How bad is it?"

       With a heavy sigh, Myoga replied. "I'm sorry, Young Miss. But, I'm afraid that it is worse than we thought. The car can be fixed, but the cost will be more than you paid for it originally."

       This shocked InuYasha. She'd always taken good care of her car. It was her baby, after all. Well, before she met Rin that is. But, she'd always made sure to get her truck checked. "I don't understand, Myoga san. I've always maintained my car. I got the engine checked, oil changed, tires rotated...I don't see why she's in such bad shape."

       Shaking his head, Myoga replied. "No, Miss Yasha. It was nothing that you did. It was where you took you car. Apparently, the mechanic that you used, used second hand and maybe third hand parts. I had your truck towed to a friend of mines, and he found a whole list of things wrong. There was a good amount of rust in some of the parts too." Myoga reached over patting InuYasha on the hand, "The only thing that was in good shape were your brake system. But, even they are sub par material."

       Yasha balled up her fist and slammed it against the table, startling not only Myoga but a few customers and some of her friends. "Damn it! I should have changed mechanics when the old owner of the shop passed away. I knew when his son took over that he couldn't fix shit, but I felt sorry for the guy. I guess I stayed out of loyalty to the old man." Shaking her head in dismay, at the situation she was in. "So, what does your friend say? He can fix it right?"

       "I'm sorry, Young Miss. He said the car is little more than scraps now."

       "What?"

       Holding his hands up, Myoga quickly explained. "Mistress InuYasha, it was, in both our opinion, the best thing possible. The truck was basically undrivable in it's current state. There was no way I could let you continue to drive it any longer. So, we had the car dismantled. I'm so sorry, Miss Yasha." He pleaded hoping that she wouldn't be too upset. "Besides, Miss Yasha, If anything happened while you were driving that car. No one's lives would ever be the same! And, I know for a fact, it would kill Master Sesshomaru to lose you!"

       InuYasha frowned, but nodded in understanding. "Yes, I know your right, Myoga san. It's just that...sigh...I've had that car for so long. She was...she was my mom's car first", she tells him with a sad little smile, wiping a single tear from her eye. "I...I was just hoping that she would last a little while longer, that's all." Myoga's eyes turned sad when he heard that. He'd heard all about InuYasha's mother, from Toga sama, Sesshomaru sama, and Jaken. The woman was extremely similar to the late Mistress Megumi. In fact, if you didn't know better, one would think they were one and the same person! "I am so sorry Miss Yasha, I didn't realize. I should have called you before we made that decision, for that I'm heartfully sorry."

       InuYasha watched the older man. She felt terrible about making him feel so bad about something that was not his fault. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand giving it a light squeeze. "No, Myoga san, you did the right thing. I'm just being overly sentimental about it", she said with a smile. "Gram had been after me to go ahead and get a new car. Hell, Sesshomaru even told me to just use one of the cars in the garage. I'm just being stubborn." Leaning back, she took a sip of her coffee. With a gleam in her eye, she gave Myoga a sly little grin. "You think I could talk Sessho into selling me the Cherokee?"

       For a moment, Myoga was a bit taken back by the question. Then smiled along with her before agreeing, "Miss InuYasha, judging from how the young master feels about you. I'm sure you both would be able to come to an...understanding." He insinuated, his eyebrows wiggling suggestively. Causing InuYasha to blush violently!

       "Myoga san! You are nothing but a dirty old man!" She giggled.

       The elder driver stood up, putting his hat on. He bowed to her, "Ha-ha-ha...I'm afraid I'll be a dirty old man, until I'm a dead old man, Young Miss!" He winked at her before turning on his heel and leaving. As he was making his way to the door, he passed Monica who was bent wiping off a table. Suddenly, there was a loud squeal as Myoga dashed out of the door!

       Concerned, Yasha, along with Kagome, Kisa, and Mai rushed to Monica, who was facing the door. Her hand on her derriere. "Moni san? What wrong?"

       Bankostu and Renostu where just coming from the kitchen carrying trays of fresh baked cross buns. Put the trays down and rushed to see what was wrong. "What the hell, Moni? What happened? Are you hurt?" Asked a worried Ban.

       Monica still staring at the door in disbelief turned to them both. "That dirty old goat just grabbed my ass!" She hissed, angrily! They looked at her for a moment, then at each other. Then they all burst into laughter! "It's not funny!" Moni fumed, before she too started giggling as well. "That dirty old bug!"   Little Rin, who had come out when she heard Moni yell, was standing there wondering what was happening. 'Grow-ups are really strange people!'
