Chapter 6
The rest of their shopping trip went by pretty uneventfully, except the occasional shy glances among the group, and of course Miroku being Miroku…Sango being his main victim. When they finally finished and all were sure they hadn’t forgotten anything, it was already 4 o’clock. Inuyasha’s stomach grumbled loudly.
“Now can we eat?” he whined.
“Yes, we can finally eat, Inuyasha,” Sango replied, a bit exasperated.
“Great! I’m starved! Where are we going for dinner?” Kagome asked, her own stomach growling.
“Hhhmm…How about….the Ground Round!!” Sango suggested.
“Ugh, no,” Kagome immediately dismissed the idea. “I have enough of their food as it is. I don’t want to see the inside of that place anymore than I have to.”
“What do you mean?” Sango asked while Inuyasha looked on inquisitively.
“Miss Kagome here works there,” Miroku stated, patting Kagome’s shoulder in mock sympathy.
“Oh really?” Sango asked. “Are you a waitress?”
“No, I’m just a hostess. I don’t think I could carry those huge trays. I’d be soooo afraid of dropping something,” Kagome waved her hands in front of her face as she imagined carrying a tray and dropping a plate of food on a customer.
“No, definitely not for me!”
“Oh come on Kags, it’s not that hard,” Miroku said, nudging her in the side. “I’d even train you…you know it’s tempting.” A sly grin slowly making it’s way on his face. Kagome just rolled her eyes.
“Wait,” Inuyasha exclaimed, now clearly confused. “You work there too, Miroku?”
“Yes, that I do. I’m a server, and future employee of the month!!” he said, puffing out his chest.
“Yeah right,” Kagome laughed. “The only reason you want to win is to get the $50. Besides, Katie has definitely already won. This month, and next month, and the next month. It’s pointless to even try.”
“Thanks so much Kags, for ruining all my joy.” Miroku pouted, pretending to be deeply hurt. Inuyasha’s stomach growled again.
“But that still leaves us with no idea where we are going to eat!” he whined, secretly tucking the information away for future reference.
“Oh yeah,” Sango exclaimed, suddenly realizing her own hunger. “So where are the good places to eat around here?”
“Hey!! Let’s go to Johnny Rockets!! I love that place!!” Kagome said, putting a little hop in her step.
“What’s that?” Inuyasha asked.
“Only the greatest restaurant ever!! They are like an old fashioned restaurant and play old music and have old fashioned jute boxes and wear the old fashioned uniforms and it’s just great!!” she explained excitedly. The others in the group didn’t think she even took a breath.
“Okay, sounds great,” Sango said. “You guys up for it.” Both guys simply nodded and Kagome squealed with joy, quickly leading them in the direction of her favorite restaurant.
When they arrived Kagome greeted all the servers and even a few of the cooks as they were lead to a booth just inside the doors. Clearly she goes there a lot, seeing as how she was on a first name basis with all of them. Kagome was the first to sit down, jumping into the booth and sitting near the window. Sango sat across from her, Miroku quickly following suit and sitting next to Sango, who groaned, but he didn’t seem to notice. This left Inuyasha to sit with Kagome, both blushed at the realization. He slid into the booth and his leg accidentally knocked into Kagome’s who jumped at the contact and suddenly became very interested in something outside.
“Hey Kagome,” their server greeted them, unknowingly ceasing the tension at the table.
“Hey Liz! Busy today?” Kagome asked, looking around at the half empty restaurant. She shrugged.
“It’s been steady.”
“Hey Liz,” Miroku greeted, giving a small wave. Liz’s cheeks instantly turned a light pink.
“Uh, hi Miroku,” she replied shyly and he flashed her a seductive grin, causing the poor girl’s cheeks to go from pink to flaming red. Kagome just rolled her eyes, kicking Miroku in the shins.
“Ow…..” he complained.
“So, what’s the shake of the day?” Kagome asked, snapping the girl back into reality.
“Oh! Right! The shake of the day…..Butterfinger,” she replied, fumbling to open her book to look at the specials.
“Oo! My favorite! I’ll take one!” Kagome squealed.
“That sounds really good, I’ll try one too,” Sango told her.
“Strawberry for me,” Inuyasha said, deciding that original is always good.
“I’ll have my usual,” Miroku said, once again smiling at Liz who nodded and quickly walked away, a blush once again evident on her face.
“Miroku!!! Why must you tease poor Liz like that!! You know she really likes you!!” Kagome chastised once Liz was out of ear-shot. “If you have no intentions on hooking up with her, don’t lead her on like that!!”
“I don’t mean to, Kagome,” he said, weakly trying to defend himself. “I’m like that with all the ladies.”
“Ugh….you’re hopeless!!” Kagome exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air in defeat. Suddenly, a new server came over with their shakes.
“Here you are,” she said shyly as she handed them out.
“I don’t recall seeing you before,” Kagome said, running through her memory to see if she was mistaken. “Are you new?”
“Yes, I am. Today is my first day. My name is Keily.” she said, bowing slightly.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you Keily! My name is Kagome, and these are my friends Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku.” They all waved when she said their names, except Miroku who wasted no time in further introducing himself to the girl.
“My, what a beautiful name,” he said. “Goes perfect with your beautiful face. Would you do me the honor of baring my children?” he asked, dropping down on one knee and grabbing her free hand. Even Inuyasha had to roll his eyes this time.
“MIROKU!!!!” Kagome yelled, desperately trying to reach over a blushing Inuyasha to get to Miroku. “Sango….”
“With pleasure,” was Sango’s reply as she swiftly bopped Miroku on the head. He dropped to the floor for a few seconds, holding his head in pain and Keily took this as her cue to run. Miroku quickly recovered and jumped back into his seat.
“Do you try to swoon every pretty girl you come across?” Sango asked, annoyed. But as he opened his mouth to answer she interrupted him. “Never mind, I don’t want to know.”
Liz came and took their orders, Miroku tried to once again hit on her but caught the look Kagome shot at him and quickly refrained.
“So, where are you guys from?” Kagome asked Inuyasha and Sango once Liz left.
“We’re from Tokyo. My father was offered a job here in Kyoto and so here we are,” Sango explained. Inuyasha nodded in agreement.
“Are you two siblings?” Miroku asked, finding it odd that they live together. “You look nothing alike.”
“Cousins,” was Inuyasha’s short reply. He obviously didn’t want to go into it anymore.
“I do have a younger brother though,” Sango said, trying take the heat off Inuyasha. “His name is Kohaku. He’s 13.”
“Oh really! That’s cool! It must be great to have a younger brother,” Kagome said, a hint of sadness in her voice which didn’t go unnoticed by Inuyasha. He didn’t press the matter, but told himself to ask about it another time. Their food came soon after and they fell into a comfortable silence as they ate. Kagome couldn’t finish her fries which Inuyasha gladly finished for her, as well as Sango’s. When all had eaten their fill, they paid, said their good-byes and slowly made their way through the mall to get to the parking lot.
“Say Kagome,” Miroku asked, breaking the silence that had fallen between them. “How long is your Grandpa away this time?”
“About two weeks, and soon after he comes home he has yet another convention which will last another week. So I‘ll have the house to myself for nearly a month,” Kagome answered, as if it were nothing.
“Where is he?” Inuyasha asked.
“Some shrine convention. I don’t know where. He goes to so many I’ve stopped keeping track.”
“You live alone with your Grandfather?” Sango asked.
“Yup,” Kagome answered a bit sadly, “But I have Miroku here to keep me company when he’s away.” Both Inuyasha and Sango looked at her quizzically. Miroku took the liberty to answer them.
“I’m her neighbor.” Both of them just said ‘oh’.
“Yeah, Miroku moved next door to the shrine when I was eight and he was nine. We’ve been friends ever since,” Kagome explained as they pushed through the glass doors and walked out into the cold night air.
“So tell me Kagome, has he always been so perverted?” Sango asked when she felt his hand once again graze her behind.
“’Fraid so…” she said, scratching her head as Sango smacked Miroku, leaving a large red handprint on his face. Inuyasha just shook his head.
“Where are you parked?” Inuyasha asked when they reached the curb, his car already in view.
“Oh, we’re just down there a little ways,” Kagome answered, pointing to Miroku’s car which was in the other direction.
“Well, we’re this way,” he said, pointing to his own car.
“So…I guess I’ll see you tomorrow…”Kagome said, disappointed that they had to go their separate ways.
“Yeah, until tomorrow…” he said, stepping off the curb and waving. “See ya, Miroku.”
“Good-bye, Kagome. It was great hanging out with you. We’ll have to do it again sometime!” Sango said, following Inuyasha.
“Definietly! Bye Sango!!” Kagome waved.
“Good-bye Inuyasha! Good-bye my darling Sango!!” Miroku yelled after them, also waving. Sango face-faulted, ‘Darling?!?!?!’ With that, they went their separate ways, each lost in their own thoughts as they made their way home.
