Unexpected Love by Winter Breeze

Friday

Chapter 1:Friday

Ugh.  Kagome groaned.

It was another Friday night. She hated Friday nights. The worst crowds always came in and she knew one group in particular that always came in. it was like they had nothing else to do beside come to the movies. She worked as a cashier at the local movie theater but thankfully it was only a summer job until she switched colleges. After she graduated high school her marks weren’t high due to family issues so she attended a lower class college for a year to bring up her grades and now she was finally moving forward. There were only a few weeks left till she moved to the city and she couldn’t wait. She especially couldn’t wait to get away from the snotty group that always came here on Friday nights, ever since she had started working they always gave her a hard time it seemed or maybe it was just her. Actually, not all of them are horrible just vexing. Mainly it was the oldest of the bunch. He looked a few years older than her.

 She didn’t know his name but he always came in with a different girl on his arm. Every Friday night some new bitch who thought she owned the place would be hanging all over him as if she was queen of the world. Ha! She wanted to mentally laugh. Did these girls not know how he trashed them soon after they went out? She didn’t know nor did she care how he did it but he never had the same girl twice with him. She hated to admit he was gorgeous though and it didn’t surprise her that, that many women were throwing themselves at him. Not to mention the girls he brought were just as beautiful and it made her self-esteem crumble to pieces about how plain she thought she looked. He was such a jerk too! She couldn’t believe his arrogance, acting as if everyone was dirt beneath his shoes. He was the worst of them that was for sure.  She also couldn’t believe she held a crush on him and blamed it on his natural sex appeal.

She was pretty sure they were from demon decent because of their hair and eye color plus their ears looked a little too pointed to be full human. Anyone with demon blood was a rare occurrence now-a- days. They had three other humans with them a male and two females. Inuyasha, she was she that was the younger of demon bloods name because she had heard the human male say it a few times, his female was a complete bitch. She hated everyone it seemed; every time they came in she’d have a derogatory remark to say to her or someone else. The only decent ones were the human male and his counterpart Sango. She believed that was her name. They were always nice to her.

Of course, right on time, here they come now. Great.

“Sesshomaru!  It’s your fault we are late! I’m telling dad you caused this mess!” ‘So that must be the older demons name. Funny she hasn’t heard it before, those two always seem to be fighting even if they are brothers.’ She thought. Sesshomaru’s long white hair was in a loose but elegant braid tonight and he wore a pair of dark wash jeans with a perfect white polo shirt. His eyes were the perfect shade of light amber she always saw and as usual the atmosphere around him screamed arrogance.  She wanted to puke. Everyone had dressed just as nice. This group was made up of beautiful people who always dressed accordingly.

“Go ahead, Inuyasha, I cannot help it if my date took longer to prepare than yours.”

 “Well, it doesn’t look like it helped her any.” Kikyo said. She watched as the girls glared at each other.

She guessed she could do her job now. “How are you guys tonight?” She asked giving them a semi-fake smile.

Inuyasha answered, “Good, if it wasn’t for this asshole making us late and having to switch movies.” He pointed to the one known as Sesshomaru.

“Oh, well I am sorry to hear that. Maybe next week you can see the one you missed tonight. Would you like your normal order?” By this time the human male decided to lean upon the counter. “And what,” he looked at her name badge, “Miss Kagome is our regular order?” He gave her a hypnotizing look that she could have fallen for if she didn’t already know his antics.  She looked at him a moment.

He was such a womanizer.

“Three large popcorns, three sodas and three waters, along with one candy bar.”

“Well, don’t you have great recollection?” Said giving her a cheap smile.

“It’s no big deal real-“

“It’s not something to spectacular, Miroku, after all we have gotten the same thing for weeks now. In fact, it is a disappointment she hadn’t learned sooner.” Sesshomaru said nonchalantly while draping his arm around his date for the evening.

She glared at him with disgust and started on their ordered.

“Sorry Kagome, you’ll have to excuse him, he can be a little crude.” Miroku stated.

“No, he is just an asshole.” Inuyasha responded. At this moment Sesshomaru started too walked off toward the cinemas with his date in arms. “Hey, wait! Where you going? You’re paying for the food this time.”

“I think I will leave it to you, little brother.” He said with a smirk and continued on his way.

“Asshole.”

Inuyasha fumbled with his wallet pulling out the necessary amount and handed it to her.

“Thanks, here you go.” She handed him back her change.

“Thanks.” He turned to the others and started complaining that his ‘asshole of a brother’ couldn’t even help carry the snacks. Sango gave her a sympathy look and mouthed ‘sorry’ to her and she nodded in response greeting the next customer.

She reminded herself, only a few weeks left and she would never have to see these people again. She was so excited to leave and start a new chapter in her life but at the same time sad because she would be leaving her mother and brother behind. Her shift was about over and she was ready to leave. Fridays always drained her.

She had the weekend off which made her happy. She gave music lesson one or two days a week as well just as a sporadic side job. Usually, she got her music work only from word of mouth, adults wanting their kids to learn a song or two mostly for school. She didn’t want to teach a serious course she wasn’t a pro but she knew enough to get them to see if they liked it. Maybe she would check out the campus tomorrow and scout a place to live.

“Mom! I’m home!” She called out to her mother. It was about 8:30 pm and the house was quiet. She went upstairs and thought about what happened tonight with the group tonight. She mentally laughed. As much as she tried not liking them, she couldn’t help but think they were funny. Sometimes. She smiled and for once since starting at the cinemas, she couldn’t wait to see them on Friday.
