Chapter 1
"Bye Rex! I hope you feel better buddy," a black haired woman said. She's wearing pink scrubs with dog prints on them.
"Oh Kagome he will! Hopefully he learned that people food is for people and not dogs," an elderly woman replied.
Kagome giggled and patted the Great Dane on his head waving goodbye to owner and pet.
Rex was the last patient for the day so Kagome walked back to the reception desk to tell her co-workers they're finally closed.
"I'm going now. I have to pick the kids up from daycare today," Sango said turning toward her two old time friends and co-workers Kagome Higurashi and Rin Tashi.
"What shift do I have tomorrow?" Sango asked while grabbing her things.
"The afternoon shift the same as me but Kagome has it off," Rin told her coyly.
"Really? What are you taking tomorrow off for Kagome?" Sango asked curiously. "You've got a hot date that you haven't told us about?" Sango winked at Rin mischievously with a huge grin on her face directed toward Kagome.
"No, for your information I do not have a 'hot date'. I would not take time off work for that!" Kagome snapped at her friend.
Kagome was angry that Sango would even think that she would take time off work for something like that.
"Then what are you taking the day off for?" Sango persisted.
"Daichi is going a field trip tomorrow, and his teacher asked me to help chaperone one of the buses. I'm supposed to bring someone with me to help chaperone the entire bus. I was going to ask one of you guys or Miroku to help, but you're all working tomorrow," said Kagome with a sigh.
She looked up at the clock, noticed the time and her mouth fell open.
"Sango you better run or you're going to be late picking up Mika, Miko, and Kera!"Kagome said trying to rush Sango out of the door.
"Yeah, I know. See ya later!" Sango said dashing for the door after she checked her wristwatch.
"Wait Sango!" Kagome hollered after her.
"What is it I have to run!" Sango said holding the door open.
"Could you please pick up Daichi when school lets out? My schedule says I have to work till nine. Sorry to do this to you again, but I'll be there around the same time as always," Kagome said.
"No that's alright we'll wait up for you. Unlike you I have work tomorrow. Ciao babe! Don't work too hard girls! Have a good time tonight!" Sango said while stifling a giggle.
She walked through the door once more to her car.
"See you tomorrow!" Rin hollered back.
"Bye, and thanks so much." Kagome hollered in a more tired tone as Sango rushed out the door.
'Was she giggling? Hmm, must be my imagination and sleep deprivation,' she thought.
Kagome turned to Rin who was heading to the overnight stay part of the animal clinic to feed and give water to the animals held there.
"Need some help?" Kagome asked when she walked through the double doors to the overnight animals.
"No I'm alright here. Why don't you take care of the paperwork at the front desk while I finish with all the animals' needs. You could also clean up the waiting room there's no telling what shape that area is in?" Rin replied while carefully checking over one of the cats that had come in from a gunshot wound two weeks ago.
"Ok, but if you need help don't hesitate to ask," Kagome said walking to the front desk.
Kagome checked out the chores that needed to be done. She saw the pile of paperwork and decided to do that last. She walked around the bean shaped front desk to a different room where the patient's family waited to be seen or for pick up.
She took a look around at the mess of papers, magazines and kid's toys scattered about the room.
'Boy this place is worse than Daichi's playroom and bedroom put together,' she thought as she spent the next half hour cleaning the room.
When she was done putting the room back in order, she walked back over to the desk in the front lobby,and started to go through the paperwork. She organized it in alphabetical order and by date. To her surprise there were papers that dated back to the week before, but seemed that no one really paid much attention to it. It was odd to Kagome because girls who worked up front were very thorough with paperwork. She also found paperwork she was positive she had personally filed away.
Three hours later still on the paperwork and she was down to the last few pieces when she ran across a copy of her schedule for the remainder of the current week. All of it was the same as the one she had in her purse except for the time her shift ended that evening. Unlike the one in her purse she saw that it said that her shift ended at 8:30 and not 10:00 like always.
After puzzling about the administration error, she decided to speak with Rin about the matter since she was the one that made the work schedule. She filed the rest of the papers and made sure that the sign was turned from open to close.
She started to walk around the desk to the back area to find Rin. She glanced at the clock and it was already 7:45.
'Time is really moving. Just one hour and fifteen minutes to go or forty five minutes to go,' Kagome thought and went on the hunt to find Rin.
She found Rin in the back office speaking on her cell phone quietly. But when Kagome walked into the room Rin said goodbye and quickly hung up the phone.
"Hi, Kagome you're done with the paperwork and waiting room so soon?" she said kind of jittery in her speech.
"What do you mean so soon? I was at it for three and half hours!" Kagome exaggerated her reply. "Oh and another thing,is this my schedule and not the one you gave me or what?"Kagome asked holding up the piece of paper from the front desk.
"Ummm..." Rin nervously said biting her lower lip. "Promise me you won't get mad at me?"
"Huh?"Kagome asked not expecting that reply.
"I said promise me you won't get angry with me?" Rin said moving away from Kagome slowly.
"Fine, I promise," Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Well... remember how I told you guys that I had a hot date with Sesshoumaru tonight?" Rin began and blushed thinking about her long time boyfriend.
"Uh... yeah I remember," Kagome said even more confused as to why that had anything to do with her schedule being different than the one in her purse.
"Well... he's sorta like bringing his half brother because I kinda told him you don't get out much anymore," she said looking as if she was about to tear off down the hallway just in case.
"Wait just a minute what do you mean by that?" Kagome asked as she felt her blood start to boil.
It was Rin's turn to roll her eyes.
"It means you've got a blind date tonight, gurl!" Rin said, slightly shoving Kagome on the shoulder playfully, but unfortunately Kagome was not in a playful mood.
"WHAT!" Kagome screamed.
