Sitting on the edge of Kagome’s full sized bed, Ester was thinking about her best friend’s predicament. Each path her mind took came back full circle to the fact.
“Kagome...you know that your landlord can’t kick you out like this, right?” Ester queried, voice full of friendly concern as she folded various items absentmindedly.

Kagome was standing unmoving in the her closet’s door way, looking unseeingly at the clothes that were hanging, still reeling somewhat from the assault earlier.
“I wish to high heaven I could take the landlord to court for his unfair treatment, but...I don’t have the funds.”
Reaching into the closet, she grabbed a few shirts of their hanger and turning slightly, tossed them towards Ester on the bed while she looked at Kat.

Catching the shirts mid air, Ester began to mechanically fold them as she turned her attention towards Kat

Kat was being uncharacteristically quiet, glaring as her two friends turned towards her.
“What? ” She demanded when they continued to stare at her.
She continued to glare at them, ‘the moment I think it wiser to keep quite everyone looks at me like I’m some kind of alien creature’, she thought a bit cheekily.
“I think it’s great that she’s moving in with her love interest.” She declared abruptly. If they wanted her to say some thing then why not say something that will change the mood of her two companions? She chuckled as she watched the play of emotions that chased their way across Kagome’s face.

“L.l..love interest ” Kagome sputtered her cheeks turning a dark shade of pink, just to be cut off by Kat who had a devilish grin on her face.

“Sorry...” Kat purred, “I mean LUST interest ” She purposely stressed the word lust all the while laughing wickedly. She enjoyed watching Kagome blush, it was so easy to make her do so.

“That,” Ester groaned, “is what we get for not counting our blessings...” as she brought her hand up to mouth to cover her own chuckles at Kagome’s expense.


“With a friend like me, who needs enemies, right?” Kat asked with a pleased smile on her face as she stood from her place at the foot of the bed while heading down stairs.
Ester and Kagome looked at her questioningly then giggled as her reason for leaving hit them...hunger Jumping to their feet they followed her down stairs as the attacked the best kitchen appliance, the fridge

“Hmm...I guess we should get rid of most of the food since you’re moving...right?” Kat asked eagerly, a innocent look on her face as she clutched a homemade quiche to her.

Laughing softly, Kagome nodded as they all began to pig out.

* * * * * *

Ms. Digatio looked at Kagome, concern evident in her large eyes, “your grades are slipping.”

“...I know...” Kagome whispered, “but I’m trying to get myself together right now.” Her eyes implored her Professor not to press the issue further. If she was put on report, it could jeopardize her scholarship then she would be in deep trouble.
She shuddered at the thought, no school, no degree, no money. She’d have to eat her words and return home; god how she hated calling that place home.

Ms. Digatio simply nodded, “hurry up and see that you do.” She was trying to be as understanding of Kagome’s situation. She knew that in life, things do not always go as one planned them. Life, she thought gloomily, has a way as throwing you off track and if you can’t adapt you’d be left standing in the cold.

* * * * * *

“So?” Kat chimed as Kagome walked out the lecture hall, an inquisitive look on her face as she looked first at Kagome then at her watch, then back once again at Kagome.

“She told me my grades are slipping.” Kagome explained, a pouacinacing her luscious lips. She really didn’t want to get into it with her friends and have them tell her what she already knew.

“That,” Kat exclaimed, “is a no brainer, I could have told you that ” She smirked wickedly, she knew that look on Kagome’s face. Knew that it meant that she didn’t want to hear it, ‘tough luck girlie, I’m sick of seeing that defeated look in your eyes.’

Ester snorted, “yeah, you could cuz it’s obvious you don’t have any brains ” She let out a loud cackle as Kat turned evil eyes towards her.

“Shut the hell up Ester ” Kat yelled playfully while making a lunge for her antagonizer intent on taking a bite out of her.

Shrieking to evade the cannibalistic girl, Ester dodged behind Kagome using her as a human shield in order to avoid being bitten.

Laughing with true humor for what seemed the first time in a year, Kagome headed off towards the track field, as her two friends began insulting each other heatedly.

“...yeah well you’d screw anything with a dick ” Ester threw at Kat who simply shrugged with a nonchalant “so?”

Ester gasped with fake horror, “you are so scandalous You aren’t even going to try and deny it?”

“Why should I? It’s the truth...if I think he’s hot then...“wham, bam, thank you SIR ” Kat finished on a pleased chuckle.

* * * * * *
Whirling around unexpectedly Kagome eyed her friends with determination, she had to put a stop to their bickering, it could go on for hours, she knew from experience.
She blinked in mild surprise as she noticed that the two had moved from verbal abuse to physical abuse.

“Uh..” ..” Kat whispered as she gave a final bite on the arm that was trying to permanently remove her head from her shoulders.

“What’s with that look?” Ester yelped glaring at her carnivorous friend who had successfully managed to take a nice big bite; teeth print and slobber still on her arm.

“I want to go see him, and I was thinking....” Kagome trailed off looking at the slobber that Ester was trying to wipe off.

“...” Ester and Kat waited for the bomb to fall. Kat ng ang away from Ester as she tried to wipe the spit back on her.

“Hold still ” Ester hissed trying unsuccessfully to dry her hands on Kat’s clothes.

Shaking her head in the negative, Kat grinned while Ester grudgingly wiped it on herself.

“...that since we don’t have any classes for the rest of the day...and we can beat rush hour traffic if we leave right now...and...umm....” she finished expectantly looking at the two purposely ignoring the fact that they had not really been listening to her but was caught up in their own mischief.

Kat held up her hand, “please wait while we discuss the proposed offer...” as she looked Kagome up and down before leaning towards Ester who had an evil glint in her eyes which was enough to give Kat a moment of hesitation.

“I’m gonna get you back for that you know...” Ester told her sweetly, an innocent smile upon her face as she reached out to smooth a lock of curly hair out of Kat’s face and smiled even wider when she heard Kat audibly gulp.

Kat gulped as she listened to the promise her friend made. Ester never made a threat that she wasn’t going to go through with, now, it was just a matter of time.

“WELL? ” Kagome demanded five minutes later when no response was forth coming.

“Hmmm?” Kat and Ester muttered in unison each thinking something completely different. Ester, how to get back at Kat and Kat was thinking how to avoid the revenge that would soon be coming her way.

“Yes or NO? ” Kagome bellowed?

“Oi Keep your panties on ” Kat smiled sweetly all the while dragging Ester and Kagome towards the bus stop.

* * * * *

“I’d like to see my stepfather,” Kagome told the secretary who was eyeing them with distaste as though they had just crawled from some unknown sewer in New York City.

Personally she saw nothing wrong with what they were wearing; Ester was dressed some what similar in a white tube top and white ripped bell bottom jeans, a pair of flip flops and her hair down flowing loosely around her.

Kat in a baby blue fitted T-shirt with baggy black jeans and a pair of baby blue Timberlands ©, her hair pulled back neatly in a pony tail, her various piercing’s; eyebrow, nose and labret, tasteful and fashionable.

She, Kagome was dressed in a orange sleeveless top with a pleated black mini skirt and a pair of thigh high white stockings and heeled loafers, her hair pulled back into two pig tails.

Pulling her attention back she regarded the secretary once more, this time choosing to ignore the disgusted look.

“He’s out of the country at the moment, would you like to leave a message?” She sounded like a recording, as she regarded her employer’s child and her friends.
‘She should know better than to come in here dressed the way she is,’ she thought disapprovingly.

“What...do you mean out of the country?” Kagome asked in sheer disbelief. She couldn’t, no, wouldn’t believe that the one time she had the guts to come here and try and talk to him that he was no where to be found It was one thing she had not counted on .

“Out of the country as in, not here in this state, as in he took a flight on an airplane out of the country.” The receptionist explained with a cold polished smile as she went back to typing a memo which she halted when Kagome and co. had entered her office.

Kat had had enough She could let the disgust on the secretary’s face go, but she could not let the rude way she was speaking to her friend simply fly by. In short, her temper was getting the best of her.

“Why you snobby motherfu...mpppffhhh ” Ester slapped her hand over her friends way ward mouth before she got them thrown out of the building. It wasn’t that she didn’t agree with what Kat wanted to do, it was just that it was not the right time to do it. She had a gut feeling that Kagome would need them to return to this office with her and how on Earth could they do that if they were black listed?

No, she had to stop Kat.

* * * * *

“What the HELL were you thinking? ” Ester demanded once they were standing out side of the high rise office building giving her friend a heated glare that would, had she been in possession of special powers, made her melt there on the spot.

“...I....sorry...I wasn’t thinking.” Kat mumbled feeling, for once, horrible at her behavior as she absorbed the full brunt of her friends’ ire, “it just that, well...I couldn’t stand the way she was talking to Kagome.” She looked beseechingly at first Kagome then Ester who was still glaring daggers at her, “she was rude man I mean, is that any way to talk to your bosses daughter?”

Ester sighed softly then smiled, “no it’s no way, and I agree with you actually, but....that’s wasn’t the place to get into it with that cold bitch ”

Kat grinned broadly when those words were spoken to her.

“It’s O.K.” Kagome replied smiling also, “say, since we’re downtown, why don’t we catch a matinee or something?” She could really use the distraction and spend some much needed time out with her best friends, ‘when again will I have the nerve?’ Kagome thought hopelessly.
She shook her head trying to get rid of the gloomy thoughts, this is exactly why I need to be out

“Oh ” Ester exclaimed, “they’re still playing Finding Nemo ” as her attention was snagged by the pretty blue clueless fish.

“Dude ” Kat cried, “that is like....sooo childish like.” All the while heading towards the box office, their decision made; girls night out

* * * * *

“Those fish have some serious issues ” Kat remarked chuckling as they neared Kagome’s apartment six hours later. Swaying slightly she nudged Ester, “was that a good choice or what?”

Ester scowled as she tried to fan away the alcoholic smell from her friend, “stop trying to take credit for what I chose ” She wasn’t quite as wasted as Kat, and stone cold sober compared to Kagome.
She eyed her wasted friend with concern, “we’re spending the night with you, ok?”

“YOU GUYSES ARE BEST ” Kagome exclaimed drunkenly and began giggling, “sleep over ”
Stumbling slightly up the stairs she finally managed to get the door open after a few unsuccessful attempts, even as her friends laughed at her.

None of them noticing the black Z 4 BMW ©.
