The Summer Job

Summery: After some prodding from her empty wallet and her mother, Kagome Higurashi sets out to find a summer job. While looking Kagome isn't really picky, which helped her land her job working as a maid and entertainer for the rich Youkai family. Unfortunately for her, she didn't know she an entertainer until she met whom she was entertaining: the rich playboy, spoiled brat Inu-Yasha Youkai. With a high pay and minimal hours Kagome prays to work through the summer without going head over heels for her employer.

Authors Note: I do not own Inu-Yasha Tachi… unfortunately.

Points finger Why must you hate Sesshomaru and Kagome together? Cries in corner Anyways, this one is going to be funny, and modern, making it more believable to you. I'm happy!

Kagome sighed as she fell back into the nice comfortable chair to cool down from the summer heat. She'd been off school for a week already and now she could only whimper when she saw her wallet emptier then ever.

"Kagome. What's wrong?" Her mother asked from the doorframe of the living room, washing a plate with a cloth.

"Mom, I've spent all my money! What am I going to do the rest of the summer? The only thing I had was shopping and now it's gone." Kagome groaned.

"I'm not giving you anymore money, you are eighteen and going to University soon, why can't you just go out and get a job like all the other people your age. You had a job last year. Not to mention the year after that." Her mother argued.

Kagome rolled her eyes at the mention of her last job in the summer. She had worked at the Edo festival for a few weeks, which wouldn't have been so bad if she wasn't the one picking up all the garbage and having to parade around seeming happy all of the time.

Then before that there had been working at Wacdnalds. It was like living in hell. On her second day she had to clean up regurgitated fries, which happened to be all over the guy's bathroom. And then she had to wake up early to stick in the fries, and then clean some more. All for some lousy wage that could barely let Kagome buy a coffee once a day. One day Kagome even got up and cried, which was her last day there. Since that day she swore she'd never eat there again.

Concluding from her past experiences Kagome wasn't looking forward to finding yet another version of hell through a job. Kagome's mother gave her an unpromising look.

"I know that you've had to learn what it feels like to work but how do you think you are going to get experience for the real world. Plus these jobs will look good on your other job applications if you want to get higher on the job chain."

"I know I know. But will cleaning up puke and frying fries prepare me to be an excellent lawyer or doctor… or something?" Kagome complained.

"No but it'll show you that you have to work for the things you want." Her mother said as she turned around, ending the conversation.

Kagome gave a defeated sigh.

"I guess she's right… I just need to get a job I might enjoy a bit more…"

"I'm working at the bookstore!" Kagome's friend replied happily, her long black hair swaying as they walked. "I secretly read the books when I'm supposed to be cleaning up afterwards. It's innocent. So far I've learnt some pretty cool moves I can show off at ninjitsu classes."

"That's great Sango!" Kagome said with a forced smile. "After past years disasters I'm really looking for a job. I won't be too picky though because it'll be hard to actually find a job after everyone else has chosen there's."

"So true, but I heard from my boyfriend that the Youkai estate is looking for some maids. The pay is high, at least so I've heard." Sango said excitedly. "It's worth a try isn't it?"

Kagome smiled genuinely. "Really? That's so cool. I'll check it out. No children right? So I don't have to deal with a bunch of spit up. In fact maybe working in the lap of luxury might be nice. But I have to ask, now where did this boyfriend of yours find out about this?"

"Well he wouldn't tell me exactly but he said he has some connection with the family. All you have to do is make a tape with you telling them your recommendations and why they should higher you. Then you also include a resume." Sango said with a light tone, glad to help out her friend.

"Sounds suspicious but I'll do it. I'll make a tape, give it to you, then you give it to your boyfriend, then he gives it to the Youkai's. Got it?" Kagome said laughing at the long sentence.

"Got it." Sango said smiling at her friend.

"What's up?" A young man with long white hair said as he talked on his cell phone.

"My girlfriend's friend is looking for a job… I have her tape." A slightly deep voice said on the other side of the phone.

"If she's any indication of your girlfriend she must be hot." The man said with a grin on his lips, baring one fang.

"Oh, I know her and she is. But please, stop hitting up my girlfriend. By the time you have found enough maids you can run around with as many as you want." The other end of the phone said playfully.

"Trust me, you should see the line up so far. There are 4 of them so far I need one more. If you weren't so attached to that chick you'd know how to play around with these girls." The man said with a sparkle in his golden eyes. A laugh on the other end could be heard.

"Man, if you'd only knew half the things I do with Sango." The other end said with a serious tone.

"I bet it's not nearly as many as the things I can do with 3 girls. Yah well I gotta go. Drop off that tape at my house. See yah man." The man with golden eyes flipped his phone shut without listening for a response.

He shoved the phone into his jacket pocket as he jumped onto his motorcycle, flashing a grin at one of the girls nearby, making her sway. This guy knew he had it, and loved to flaunt this power.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi, I am eighteen. I have worked at places like Wacdnalds before and I am great at cleaning…" A soothing voice flowed out of the big screen TV into the room.

"Kagome… Love the name…" The man said as his fingers played with the controller. Her name and age were all he really was interested in. "Just my age too…"

As he watched he sized her up, staring at her intently. She had stunning honey brown eyes, black hair, and a beautiful figure to boot. She was exactly what he was looking for. And plus considering he had heard about her having some experience she would be in favor with his brother who was more into other things then chasing girls, but demanded to have a clean home. He shrugged; she would be the only one that cleaned but whatever.

"Yo!" The man with the long hair said as he stepped into another man's office. The other man seemed annoyed as he stared at his younger brother.

"What the hell do you want?" The man groaned. He kind of looked like his brother except he had a more professional look, wiser, and also his hair was straighter but just as long if not longer.

The young man grinned as he threw a piece of paper on the desk and made himself comfortable in a chair on the other side of the desk. The man on the other side picked up the paper and stared at his brother.

"Sesshomaru, this is the last girl I want to be a maid here. I think this one you'll approve of-" The young man said.

"Inu-Yasha, I've already told you none of your bimbo's will be good enough to clean the house. Dad said five maids and if you can't pick one that can clean I will." Sesshomaru said with an angry glare.

"No trust me, this girl has it all. Read her resume." Inu-Yasha said as he relaxed more into the chair, which his brother frowned upon because relaxed seemed to be feet on the desk to Inu-Yasha.

Sesshomaru looked down at the paper in his hand and seemed to approve from the glances he was giving the paper.

"So you finally have found a maid that actually cleans but doesn't look half as good. I know it must have been hard for your brain but thank you for being so considerate." Sesshomaru said with false congratulations. "And get those dirty shoes off the desk."

Inu-Yasha laughed and shrugged as he let his feet fall to the floor with a bang.

"Naw, this girl has to be the second hottest of them all. I was just as surprised. I'm glad we have come to an agreement. I'm sure you'd like to make the call this time around?" Inu-Yasha said as he got up to leave, taking off his overcoat and slinging it over his shoulders.

Before Sesshomaru could oppose Inu-Yasha slammed the study door. Sesshomaru sighed, he might as well be the one who phoned if he really wanted someone who cleaned. He gently picked up the phone and dialed the number on the resume.

"Moshi moshi, may I speak with Kagome Higurashi?"

"I got it! I got the job! It pays so much for so little time! I'm so excited! I can still go places with you!" Kagome said excitedly as she pecked her boyfriend on the cheek excitedly.

Her boyfriend with short brown hair grinned at her.

"That's great Kagome!" The man said with a warm smile.

"Kouga, this is so awesome!" Kagome said as she grabbed Kouga's hand. "By the way where are we going tonight?"

"Well we have to celebrate don't we? So I got you and your friends a gig at the club where everyone knows your name." Kouga said, happy to have made his girlfriend happy.

Kagome's eyes went wide with happiness.

"That is so great! I'm gonna hafta phone Sango and Miroku, this is so exciting! Thank you thank you thank you! I've been tryna get a gig there for months. How'd you do it?"

"You know me. I have the connections. One band was unable to show up tonight and my friend asked me if I knew anyone who could fill in and I said you'd be happy to." Kouga said with a confident smile. "Now I'm guessing you need to go and get ready quickly and inform your friends."

Kagome nodded and leaned up to kiss Kouga. Kouga caught her lips and finished it off.

"So you'll be in the crowd for sure right?" Kagome said as she turned to leave.

"Of course. Like I'd let you down!"

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"Are you kidding? Of course Miroku and me could do a gig! He was planning on taking me out to a movie tonight so I don't think he'll mind too much. We've been trying to get a gig for so long! Maybe you won't need that job now?" Sango said with a happy tone on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, havn't I told you? I got accepted for the job! You were right, the pay is high and not only that but the hours are not as long as you'd think. Remind me to thank Miroku for helping me get the job. So get your guitar shined up and tell Miroku to get his drums out cause we are rocking tonight!" Kagome said excitedly.

The girls continued to talk about random things for a few more minuets before hanging up to get ready. Kagome couldn't help but smile as she picked up her black and red electric guitar and began to practice some of the bands songs. They hadn't had a good gig in ages though they had played at a small private party a few weeks ago.

Kagome put down the guitar and went over to her closet and began to get ready. She grabbed a cute short ruffled skirt with a red tank top, with black mesh arm warmers. She tied her long black hair up and put on some electric blue mascara with black eye liner.

Once dressed Kagome evaluated herself in the mirror. She found herself acceptable. She began to warm up and then play the guitar as she sang. In the band she was the lead singer and a guitar player. Sango played the guitar also, while Miroku played the drums. The three of them had been friends since the first day of high school. Miroku and Sango had only started dating a few months ago though.

Kagome Higurashi, 18-year-old going to University at the end of the season, has a great life that is she does, until she meets the employer.
