Chapter One: Beginning

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome opened her eyes sleepily and yawned. She looked up at the ceiling and turned on her side. The clock on her table said it was 11 o'clock.

Aw… whatever. I can sleep as long as I want today because today's the first day of summer! I'm so happy.

Kagome giggled as she got out of bed and into the bathroom. She stared at herself in the mirror and smiled. In two minutes flat Kagome had brushed her teeth and was deciding whether to take a shower this early in the morning or not. She decided not to and brushed her hair.

She went back into her room and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled at her slightly wavy hair that fell to her waist. Kagome then laid down on her bed again for a good twenty minutes before reluctantly getting out of bed and dressing.

Going through her closet Kagome pulled out a white blouse with black words on it that said Cutie. She then looked through her dresser and found some tight black jeans. Finally satisfied with herself Kagome bounded out the door and into the kitchen when she suddenly realized she was the first one awake.

Lazy people. Just because it's summer they won't wake until around twelve o'clock.

Grinning at the thought Kagome looked at the clock on the kitchen wall and realized it was almost twelve. She got out some eggs, bacon, pancakes, and orange juice and started making breakfast.

Suddenly a voice filled the kitchen "What smells so good?" her mother asked. A women around the age of 38 came into the kitchen sniffing the air.

"Oh I'm just making breakfast."

"Really?" Kagome's mom asked raising an eyebrow. "What do you want?"

"Am I really that obvious?"

"More than you know."

"Well if it's ok with you can I please get a job?" Kagome asked making eye contact with her mother.

"Why do you need a job?" Kagome's mom asked getting up from her seat on the kitchen chair and helping her daughter set the table.

At least she's not saying no right away. That must be a good sign.

Kagome looked at her mom. She took in a deep breath and began her explanation.

"Well, since it's summer I won't have anything to do and I can earn money and if you want I can give you half of my salary. I also want to spend money on my own without having to go to you every time I want something. " Kagome said counting the things off on her fingers.

Her mom sighed. It is true with everything she's saying…… but what kind of job is she thinking about?

"What kind of job are you looking for?"

"Um… haven't thought that far because I thought you would say no."

"Well I say yes, but, before you do anything you have to ask me first on what kind of job it is." And I hope I don't regret letting you do this.

Kagome hugged her mom and squealed. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Kagome's mom laughed and hugged her daughter back. They both finished making breakfast and sat there smiling at each other until Souta and Grandpa came down.

"Hello? Ayame?" Kagome asked when somebody picked up the phone.

"Yeah, what's up Kagome?" a bubbly voice filled Kagome's ears.

"Well guess."

"Hm…. Your mom is letting you dye your hair? You're going out with a hot guy?" she paused waiting to see if any of her guesses were correct.

"Nope! I'm getting a job!"

"Really? What kind of job?"

"I don't know. I like kids and everything. Maybe I can get a job that involves kids. But there is one thing I know I'm not doing."

"What is that?"

"Flipping burgers! I mean come on. They are so greasy!"

"Well if you want I can come over and we can look over the newspaper together to find the perfect job."

"That would be great!" Kagome squealed for the second time that day.

"Well I will be there in two hours. See ya."

"Well bye." Kagome said smiling while hanging up the phone. Life is sweet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The doorbell rang and Kagome opened the door to find a girl with wild red curls and bright blue eyes holding a big stack of newspapers and magazines.

Kagome's eyes widened and she gaped.

"Well are you going to let me in or not?" Ayame asked shifting her weight from one leg to the other. Without waiting for an answer from her friend Ayame pushed gently past Kagome and went into the kitchen to put down her heavy load.

Kagome followed Ayame into the kitchen and then leaned against the door. "You're really into this more than me aren't you?"

"Why?"

"Never mind." Kagome said giggling. She went over to her friend and plopped into a chair. For a moment both girls just sat there dumbly staring at the stack of magazines and newspapers. Then, without warning both girls dived in.
