Hello everyone! Thanks for reading the first chapter! Cheers! opens champaign bottle he he…
The
screech of an alarm clock was heard at 11:00 a.m. Kagome Higurashi's
brown eyes popped open as she fumbled for the off button. She switched
it off and rolled over to face the first rays of sunlight peeking
through her blinds. She groaned, she was still tired. Last night she
had stayed up until 3:00 a.m. talking with her best friend Miroku
online. Talking about what you ask? You don't want to know. She smiled
at the thought of her humorous, perverted, man was he perverted, but
humorous friend. She sighed and made her way to the living room. She
switched on her TV and went into her bathroom to brush her teeth. Once
she was out she opened the door to her apartment and reached down for
the newspaper. Plopping down on her couch she immediately opened it up
to the classifieds. She needed to find a job, quick. Her last job,
Wacdonalds, hadn't turned out the way she hoped. Sighing, she scanned
the pages half-heartedly. After searching for about a week she was
starting to lose hope. She was however, getting desperate. Her bills
didn't pay themselves after all. Just as she was about to roll up the
paper and throw it in the trash, she caught sight of an ad:
ATTENTION:
Female
babysitter wanted for little Shippou
Age-6
Good pay, good hours
Call: Inuyasha Takahashi
654-3389
Kagome grinned: this was it! Just what she needed. She was great with
kids, how hard could it be, babysitting a six year old? She scrambled
for a sharpie and circled the ad. Making a mental note of calling
later, she placed the newspaper carefully on her couch and reached for
the phone. She was feeling so accomplished, she had to tell her best
friend, Sango. Dialing her phone number, she sat back and flipped
through the channels. After a couple of rings, a groggy Sango answered
the phone.
"Hullo"
"Sango! Hey its Kags did I wake you"
"Yeah, but its okay, it's about time to wake up anyways…"She yawned loudly.
"Long
night?" Kagome grinned. She knew that just recently, Sango and Miroku
had moved in together. It almost took two years of blood sweat and
tears, but somehow Kagome managed to get her two best friends together.
She could practically see her friend blush through the phone.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about…" She quickly changed the subject. "So what's up"
"You'll never guess…I found a job! Well, more like an ad for one but hey, it's better than nothing right"
"That's great Kags! What is it"
"It's a babysitting ad for some six year old kid. I'm guessing the dad is this Inuyasha guy"
"Inuyasha huh? Hey that sounds familiar"
"Really? You know him? His last name is Takahashi"
"I don't know. It just rings a distant bell"
"Huh, well that's funny. Listen I'm gonna go, I think I'm gonna call this guy before someone else does"
"Good idea, well call me later and tell me how it goes, Good luck"
"Thanks, and I will bye"
"Bye"
Kagome
hung up and picked up the ad. She punched the numbers in and took a
deep breath. Rrrrring. Rrrrrrring. Rrrrring. It seemed like forever,
and Kagome was just about to hang up when a gruff voice answered the
phone.
"Yeah?" Kagome was startled by the abruptness, but quickly
greeted the voice
"Hello, my name is Kagome Higurashi and I would like to answer the ad
you put in for a babysitter?" Inuyasha Takahashi rubbed the sleep out
of his eyes and asked: "Do you have any idea what time it is?" Kagome
was taken aback but answered: "Sir its 11:45 a.m"
"Exactly. Who gets up at 11:45 in the morning?" Kagome frowned.
"Would you like me to call back at another time"
"No
no, you already caught me, listen can you come by this afternoon; it's
my only day off." Kagome hadn't expected this but accepted. She hung up
the phone after taking down his address. They were to meet at 3:00 that
afternoon. Kagome sighed. This Inuyasha guy didn't sound too nice. It
was hard to believe he had a kid, judging by his voice. She chuckled.
She hadn't even met the guy and already she was judging his parenting
skills. She got up, ate a sandwich and collapsed on her bed. She didn't
feel that tired, but for some reason she felt like she would need all
her energy for this afternoon.
