A/N: Another story that I’ve had on my mind for a while.
**Disclaimer: No I don’t own Inuyasha only Rumiko Takahasi does (Glares at lawyers: Happy now?: Nodding heads)**
A Side of You
Chapter 1: In Walks the Storm
It was another late night at the diner and it was as dead as a graveyard. Not one person, save a police officer who came in for coffee had come in here all night. The constant sound of rain dropping of the roof was the only thing that could be heard. Besides the static radio station that couldn’t be picked up in the weather the only person there was the waitress. And quite frankly she was sleepy, all the work that had to be done during the shift had been done more than once. She did not get much sleep earlier due to people banging around and moving in next door. Plus, she was trying to meet the deadline with the gallery as well. So naturally the tired black haired womans head made its way towards the table before ........clime.....
BANG.....
SLAM.....
“Kagome!”
“What the HELL?!”, as said woman fell promptly out of the booth and on to the recently mopped floor with a THUD. “OWW, I think I broke my tailbone”.
“You did not break your tailbone. Now get up! What the hell were you thinking going to sleep up here?”, a woman with dark brown hair stood with her hands on her hips in front of a still sprawled out Kagome on the floor.
“Uhhh, Sango what was that for! You scared the ever living shit outta me!”, a livid Kagome replied as she struggled to get up while dusting herself off. Straightening her clothes she turned and gave a death glare at the other woman.
Said woman of course broke out in a fit of giggles before full-blown laughter erupted.
“Its not that funny!”, yelled Kagome who was also trying to not laugh as well.
“The hell it wasn’t! Your face was priceless! I wish I had my camera here, I so would have put the pic on MySpace too!”, Sango laughed out as she dodged a sugar packet Kagome had thrown at her.
“So what are you doing up here? I thought you were on a date.”, Kagome asked as she yawned one last time.
“I was but my date keep trying to grope me so I left. I figured I’d come check on you considering you have a habit of going to sleep up here.”, Sango giggled as Kagome flushed red for a moment.
“ Your date tried to grope you? What did you do to him?”
“Like I do to all the guys that try that. I slapped and stormed off.”, Sango said as Kagome giggled.
“At your rate your going to be the old woman living with 30 cats or something, you scare the guys off.” Kagome laughed as Sango rolled her eyes.
“And I do not fall asleep all the time by the way. At least I fall asleep in normal places like a table or counter, unlike you who fell asleep on the toilet of all things!”, Kagome laughed as it was Sango’s turn to blush.
“Whatever, that was along time ago, but you’ll never guess who’s in town.”, she said with a gleam in her eye. That gleam could mean many things but the most often its trouble and Kagome has learned to stay away from Sango when she had that look.
“Who’s in town?”, Kagome sighed as she grabbed a wet towel and began re-wipe the counters again.
“Hey where’s the other two people?”, Sango replied all of a sudden.
“Oh, Hojo and Yumi? Don’t know haven’t seen them in about an hour, there probably screwing in the back room.”, Kagome shrugged as Sango rolled her eyes.
Everyone at the diner had come to conclusion that Hojo and Yumi were seeing each over or they were friends with benefits (a nice way to put it in Kagome’s mind of course). And always around 3 am they would disappear for about an hour then come back straighten their clothes out. Kagome was not stupid she knew what they were doing, but at least they were being quiet about it.......
“YESSSSS HOJO!!!!!”
......or maybe not... damn was this night ever going to end!
Do these people not have modesty or what? Obiviously not considering what was just heard from the backroom. You think they would at least try to be conscious of the fact that there are other people that work here. But no.....
“Sounds like someone is getting rubbed by the meat pole”, Sango said as Kagome shook her head.
“Sango! That's nasty! Gross, don't ever say that again!," Kagome said before shaking her head trying to get that disturbing pciture out of her mind.
“What! Its true! Anyway back to what I was saying BEFORE I WAS SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED!!”, Sango yelled into the back room as she heard the russell of clothing being put back into place as someone crashed into something.
BANG....Owww....damnit... hurry... hand me my pants....
Kagome and Sango just laughed as they heard the two employees in the back making a ruckus.
Kagome giggled as Sango smirked before taking a seat at the counter beside her.
“So who’s in town that's got you in such a devious mood?”, replied Kagome as Sango smirked even bigger if it was possible.
“A certain someone we haven’t seen in a while.”
“Who?”, Kagome asked curiously as Sango giggled.
“I don’t know, but I did hear that he is looking for you though.,” Sango smiled as she watched Kagome turn pale. Running around the counter Sango got a glass of water and put it in front of Kagome who quickly drank it all up.
“It’s him isn’t? Who told you he was in town? I would have thought he forgotten me by now.”, Kagome said as she lifted the glass to her hot forehead while taking a deep breath.
“Why from our dear friend Inuyasha. I could hear him cursing his existence from down the hall.”, she replied as she quietly laughed at the memory of it. Looking at her friend she could still see that she was pale but color slowly returning.
“I don’t think Inu would like you eaves dropping on him”, Kagome said taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart.
“ Relax, I wasn’t eaves dropping. I heard him in our apartment Kagome which is about six doors down. “, Sango stated as Kagome smiled at that thought.
“Yea, he does have a loud mouth I’m surprised they haven’t tried to kick him out yet for being too loud.”, she said as Sango agreed.
“But you know as well as everyone else you were always the unattainable one in his eyes. You know he always annoyed you Kagome because you never fell for his charm or cared who or what he was.”, Sango said as Kagome closed her eyes in thought.
“I know that, but the only reason he annoyed me was because he was trying to get in my pants. He did the same thing to other girls and I refused to be used that way! You remember how he was! He was a egoistical jerk who thought his shit didn’t stink and he was a man-whore!”, Kagome said angrily and stood up from the stool. Sango just looked at her or was at least she thought she was....
Clime....sound of footsteps moving silently on the floor....
“So I’m a man-whore am I?”, replied a deep baritone voice that sent shivers down Kagome’s spine. A voice she hasn’t heard in about 3 and half years. Turning around to face a person she hadn’t thought of nor seen in a while.
‘Kami why me?’
“Sesshoumaru”
