"Dr. Tashio, can you come to my office for a moment?" asked Dr. Yamamoto.

"Yes sir. Be right there." To tell the truth, the residency student was always a little apprehensive when he was called into his superior's office.

Inuyasha was sitting on the bench in the locker room relaxing before he made the trek home. It had been a long day, to say the least; a few of kids with ear infections and tonsillitis, a couple of car accidents with five trauma patients, and some didn't make it. He was exhausted, especially since his shift started this morning at 7. It was now 10 pm. He took a deep breath, let it all out, got up, and went to join Dr. Yamamoto in his office. He only hoped this was good news. Inuyasha was doing his residency at Tokyo General and he, as well as two others, were waiting to see if they got the new resident position in the emergency room. He loved working in the ER; he loved the thrill of a challenge. Even though he could live without days like today, he still enjoyed his job. As he walked through the ER, not many people were being treated so he could actually go home without being called back for once. He smiled at this; all he wanted was a nice hot shower and his bed. He approached the supervising physician's office door and knocked.

"Come in!" He walked in and the doctor motioned for him to take a seat in the chair across from him. His office wasn't all that special. The walls held all of his credentials from medical school, a few pictures of his family, and a couple of chairs to be used when he had visitors. Dr. Yamamoto was a simple person yet complex when it came to his job; that's why he was admired throughout the hospital.

"Dr. Tashio. I'm sure you are aware of the new resident position that has recently opened up in the emergency room."

"Yes sir. I am aware of that."

"And I know you love the ER and also you take great pride in your work and it shows the way you care for your patients." Inuyasha nodded. Even though this doctor was his mentor, he was still greatly nervous. The doctor across from him smiled.

"Inuyasha, I realize you are nervous, but I assure you there is nothing to worry about."

Inuyasha visibly relaxed and smiled at his comforting remarks. He knew he could trust Dr. Yamamoto unlike most doctors in this hospital. He was a half demon and most people were still apprehensive towards half demons and demons alike; but not his mentor, thankfully. In his short time there, he had made many friends and allies.

"Inuyasha, I know you are a half demon and some patients are a little scared when it comes to that knowledge but you always manage to make them feel better once you show them that you are only here to help them. Also, since you started here, we have been getting more demon patients to come to this hospital."

Inuyasha didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult, but he went along with it anyway, and continued to listen.

"What I am trying to say is, if you want the resident position, it's yours." Inuyasha lit up at this news.

"A-are you serious? I have a job?" He couldn't believe it!

"Yes, Dr. Tashio, you do." Inuyasha was overjoyed. He had to restrain himself in order to not make a scene in front of his new boss.

"Thank you so much Dr. Yamamoto."

"You are quite welcome Dr. Tashio. Now go out and celebrate. Dr. Houshi just got off his shift as well. And make sure you don't do anything reckless…you start Monday morning at 8." Dr. Yamamoto extended his hand in congratulations.

Inuyasha got up to shake his mentor's hand and said, "Thank you again. You know Miroku and I. He will be the one doing something stupid."

Dr. Yamamoto stood from his chair laughing, "Yes, yes I know. But at least try and make sure that he doesn't get knocked out again. He needs to learn to keep his hands to himself."

Inuyasha laughed, "Yeah, well, better keep a room open just in case. If he does what he usually does on a Friday night, we will be gracing the ER's doors at about 2 in the morning."

"Well, see you in four hours then." Inuyasha laughed again.

"Yeah, see you then. Thank you again Dr. Yamamoto."

"You're welcome. See you bright and early Monday morning."

"See you at 8 am sharp!" Inuyasha made his way into the locker room and then left the hospital with a smile.

"Well, Dr. Higurashi? What will it be? My treat!" Sango asked her friend.

"A Bay Breeze please," Kagome told the bartender.

"Gin and Tonic for me thanks." The bartender left with their drink orders and Kagome was left thinking about why exactly she was here. She had just graduated medical school this past semester and was scheduled to start her residency on Monday. But for now she was enjoying herself with her best friend Sango. Sango was a registered nurse who had just graduated as well and was going for an interview on Monday. Their drinks arrived and they began sipping at their respective concoction. They were at Club Shikon and like always on Friday night, it was packed. They turned in their chairs to look at the crowd. They saw a lot people they knew from school and a lot of people grinding on the dance floor. Kagome blushed at their boldness. They turned to the door when it opened displaying rays of light from the street light outside. And that's when she saw a very attractive guy. Probably the most noticeable thing about him was his hair; long and silver. Then she saw them…his ears. 'They are so cute!! I wonder what they feel like.' Kagome thought. While Kagome was pondering the velvety protrusions, Sango was looking at her own eye candy. 'Wow! He is really cute! And I love the little pony tail he's sporting!' Sango turned back to her friend and saw her looking at the guys that just came in too.

"Hey! Let's go talk to them!" Sango elbowed Kagome.

"No Sango! They probably wouldn't want to talk to us anyway…." She trailed off.

"Come on Kags! It's a celebration! You need to open up and have fun."

"Maybe later. At least, let them get settled with drinks first."

"Fine. I guess I'll just have to wait and talk to the hottie later."

Kagome chuckled. "Yeah I think before I even try to talk to them I need to have a couple more drinks. If I go over there now, I'm sure that I'll stutter and embarrass myself."

"Okay, okay. A few more drinks and we'll go over there; if they don't come over here first." She winked.

Inuyasha and Miroku sat down at a table close to the dance floor. They both watched singles and couples dance, and gyrate against each other. Inuyasha watched them in awe. He had planned to get his degree and start working so he didn't have any time for any relationships. Miroku on the other hand, had many, many lovers. Inuyasha was looking around the club, bobbing his head to the beat of the music. He glanced to the bar wondering if he should have anything to drink, and that's when he saw her; a beautiful woman with long raven hair. Her skin was of porcelain and what she was wearing; he was stunned. She was wearing a black mini skirt showing off her long, flowing legs and a red halter top that showed enough to keep you wondering. And the shoes she was wearing… can we say 'Fuck me heels'? Black stilettos graced her dainty foot and the strap wrapped up her calf to keep them on. She was talking to another women; not as pretty as her but still attractive, nonetheless. He glanced back over to Miroku and noticed he was looking in the same direction he was.

"Hey Roku?"

"Hmm?" He responded halfway dazed.

"You looking at what I'm looking at?"

"Are you looking at the two lovely ladies at the bar? One is wearing a lovely purple dress and the other wearing a halter top in your favorite color?"

"Uh-huh." He said somewhat smugly.

"I think I just got in the mood for a drink."

"As did I; let's go over and acquaint ourselves." They got up and made their way to their eye candy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sango! They're coming over!" Kagome said as she hit her friend on the arm to get her attention.

"Okay Okay, calm down! Just be yourself." Inuyasha and Miroku got up to the bar and each stood on either side of their respective interests. Miroku started by ordering a drink and talking Sango into letting him buy her one. Inuyasha ordered a drink and started talking to Kagome.

"Hi, my name is Inuyasha," raising his hand for Kagome to shake.

She took it. "Kagome…" A brief silence. Kagome broke it.

"So…? Whatcha' doing here?"

"Oh…just hanging out. You?"

"Same." Pause. They both looked around the club not really making eye contact with the other. 'Well this is kind of awkward…' they both thought.

"So…? How old are you?" Inuyasha asked. He hated silence.

"I'll be 25 in September. How old are you?"

"I'll be 27 in September. What day?"

'Should I really tell him this?' "Ugh…? The 17th"

"No way! Mine is too!" He said excitedly.

She gasped in disbelief. "You're kidding."

"No really. Look here's my license." Inuyasha popped out his license and sure enough his birthday was September 17th.

"Well isn't that a coincidence." She said with a smile on her face.

After that, they got to know each other better. And after about 5 drinks, they hit the dance floor. When they reached the dance floor, they danced like they were the only ones there. Inuyasha was feeling great. He had a great job, great friends, and he had the pleasure to dance with the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Kagome was swaying to the beat with Inuyasha's hands on her hips. They gyrated into each other and were loving every bit of it. When a slow song came on, Kagome turned around and placed her hands on Inuyasha's shoulders and his hands on her waist. She placed her head on his shoulder as they swayed to the slow melody. He lowered his head to the crook of her neck and started nuzzling there. Inuyasha breathed in her enticing scent and started to happily growl in his chest. Kagome chuckled and looked up to meet his eyes. That was the first time the eyes locked. What he saw there was wonder, attraction and lust. The next thing they knew was their lips were locked and it soon became a kiss of passion, of need. They broke when the song ended and the fast beats returned. They looked in each other's eyes and smiled, and then kissed again.

When they broke the second time, Inuyasha asked, "What do you say we get out of here?"

Kagome smiled and nodded. That was the last thing either of them remembered.
