I can only love Inuyasha, but I cannot own him.

Chapter 2 "New Arrangements"


Inuyasha leaned against the cement wall as he watched the sun set

below the horizon. Another day, another robbery, and yet it seemed so

different. He took another drag from his cigarette and inhaled slowly.

His boss had seemed less than thrilled about the ruby he had risked so much

to get. Why? Thats the one question that plagued his thoughts continually.

His boss was usually more than happy when he came back with the stolen

merchandise. Not this time though. This time it was all different.

He put the cigarette to his lips and dragged long and hard. A bottle of

whiskey is what he needed tonight. A stiff drink would act as his lover

tonight. Comforting him, soothing him, staying by his side till he felt

numb. Yes, that would suffice. Footsteps echoed off of the garden walls

as Miroku came to him. He watched his best friend come closer with a

frown on his face and hands thrust into his pockets. He leaned up against

the wall next to Inuyasha.


"Did the boss have anything else to say Miroku?" He took a drag and threw

the cigarette to the ground.


"Well no. It's as if he didn't give a shit about the ruby." Miroku rubbed

the back of his head and sighed. Inuyasha could tell his friend was

emotionally wearing down, and it wouldn't be long until he hit his

breaking point. The two men stared at the last rays of the setting sun

enjoying the silence around them, but it didn't last long.


"Inuyasha. The boss wants us to go out tonight." Miroku kicked off of the

cement and took a few steps forward. Inuyasha couldn't believe his ears.

Tonight? Was their boss going insane?


"Are you sure he meant tonight?"


"Yea....I've got the location and time. You won't believe where he

is sending us. It's almost ridiculous."

Inuyasha smirked and walked towards Miroku. Things were already getting

weird, he knew he was in for something new, but would it be worth it?

Miroku showed him the piece of paper and he almost laughed. Knocking off a

little place like that would be easy. Maybe too easy. Something was up and

it definitely wasn't good.


"Well Miroku, lets go round up our men."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ma'am?.... MA'AM!?" Kagome rushed towards the old lady who was about

to walk outside without her groceries. She reached out to grab the

womans shoulder, but the old bag turned and slapped Kagome in the

face instead.


"OUCH! Hey what was that for!!?" She seethed with anger as the old

lady adjusted her glasses.


"Oh my! I'm so sorry I thought you were trying to mug me."

Kagome rolled her eyes and handed the bags to the old lady and sighed.


"You forgot your groceries."


The old lady took them gratefully and smiled at her.


"Thank you dear, I'm so sorry...it's just that...it's hard to feel

safe anywhere these days."


Kagome eased up a little and smiled. Sure that was true, but it was

still no reason to slap at someone like crazy.


"You have a good day now Ma'am."


"I will sweetie, and thank you."


Kagome watched the old lady leave the store with envy. She hated working,

and so far tonight wasn't looking too good. She walked back to her station

and cleaned around the bagging area. Why oh why did she have to work at a

crappy grocery store. She looked at the clock and swore it was moving

backwards.


"Just breath Kagome, just breath." She closed her eyes took a deep breath.


"HELLO!? Can I get some help over here??"


She cracked an eye open and looked at the rude customer calling to her.

She swallowed the curse words that were creeping up her throat and

plastered on her smile.


"What can I help you with sir?"


The man slapped at the screen of the self check out.


"This piece of shit machine won't shut the fuck up!."


She flinched at the use of his foul language, but still kept her smile on.


"I will clear from the main station sir. Just give me a second and

you'll be set."


She walked towards the main computer and gently tapped

the screen. Within a second the man was back to scanning his groceries.

She really hated customers. People were so rude and nasty and never

seemed to have anything good to say. She rested her head on the palm of

her hand and watched customers come in and go. The other cashiers scanned

groceries happily and carried on conversations with sane customers.

She wondered how they could act so happy for 7 hours straight. She damn

well knew she couldn't. Luckily time seemed to pick up speed and the night

was moving along swiftly that is until a scream pierced the the quiet air.

Kagome stood up straight and looked towards the entrance where it had

come from. She heard the scream again and ran towards the voice.

What was going on? Was someone hurt?

She couldn't see around the corner yet, but she heard the person scream

and plead to let her go. She peered around the corner and saw a group of

men holding a woman at gunpoint.

She covered her mouth to supress a scream and backed away from the corner.

She had to call the cops. She ran as fast as she could to the main station.

'Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. We are being robbed!' Her mind

screamed at her to leave to get out while she still had time, but there

were innocent people who needed her help. She reached her hand up towards

the phone and almost reached it when she felt something hard press into

her back.


"I wouldn't touch that phone unless you want your fucking spine blown out."


Kagome gulped and lowered her hand.


"Thats a good girl."


*And there is chapter 2. Who is it who's holding Kagome
at gunpoint? Is it Inuyasha....or is it someone else?
Tricky!!! Once again if the formatting, grammar, and
spelling suck I apologize...they will be fixed later.
Until then try to enjoy with out too much bitching.*
