A very tired looking nurse ran from her car and into the hospital, rushing as usual. 'I'm so going to get fired! Sango better cover my ass if they find out, and if she says one word about me being late she's going to get it!' thought Kagome as she made her way to the cramped elevator.
Sango spotted Kagome stepping out of the elevator and sighed over dramatically while throwing her hands up in the air. "Bout damn time! Where have you been? I've been waiting for yo-"SLAP! "OW! What the hell was that for Kagome?" Sango asked rubbing her now red arm.
Kagome pushed a McDonalds bag into Sango's arms and yelled, "Don't yell at me! I'm doing you a favor! Don't you realize I work here and could lose my job?" Kagome tired to whisper the last part, but to no avail it still came out loud.
Sango's expression changed from angry to sympathetic to thankful. She grabbed Kagome, careful of the food, and gave her a hug. Slowly Kagome hugged back. "Thank you Kags. I don't know what I would do without you. You know that." Sango whispered into her ear and calmly walked away.
Kagome sighed softly and leaned against the wall. Looking at her watch Kagome sighed again. 'I just worked an 18 hour shift and I have to be back at midnight.' Looking towards the double doors she sighed once again. 'Come on Sango. I need to sleep.'
From beside her someone cleared their throat. Looking sharply to her left she slightly jumped. Right beside her was the most beautiful man she has ever seen! He has amazing golden eyes and long white/silvery hair tied back in a loose pony tail. He was wearing very casual clothes consisting of black basket ball shorts and a slightly loose red T-shirt with missing sleeves exposing his built arms, and black Nike running shoes. He chuckled at her surprise. "I'm sorry for scaring you. I've actually been right here this whole time."
Kagome blinked in shock. "So you've heard the whole exchange between me and Sango?" she asked like he knew who Sango was. He slightly nodded. Turning from him to look up towards the ceiling she grunted and said, "Great. You're like the hottest guy ever and I've completely made a fool of myself! Way to go Kagome…"
Smirking at her blunt comment he had to tease her. "So I'm the hottest guy ever?"
Sighing for the millionth time that morning Kagome said, "I did say that out loud huh?" He nodded once again, still with the smirk in place. "Great. I so need to go bed. Come on Sango…"
He watched her look toward the doors biting her bottom lip. "By the way, I'm Sesshomaru. I believe I heard your friend Sango correctly and your name is Kagome?"
Nodding her head but not looking at him, she asked, "Did you by chance hear the part of me working here?"
"Yes." He answered truthfully. Placing his hands into his pockets he turned to fully face her. "Why would you get fired if anyone found out what you supposedly did?"
Kagome sighed, once again. Before she could say anything though, he said, "You sigh way to much. Life can't be that bad." Laughing lightly she said, "Shut up! My life isn't bad. I just worked an 18 hour shift and want to go home to sleep. I have to be back at midnight."
"What department do you work in?"
Kagome's eyes lit up, "I'm a nurse in the Labor and Delivery department. I had 2 emergency C-sections and 3 normal deliveries last night. I was pretty busy and it's finally catching up to me."
Looking impressed he said, "I can tell you have a passion for what you do. Your eyes lit up when I asked."
Smiling she answered, "I do. I love seeing the new babies being born into this world, and watching the mothers bond with the baby. Its one of the most beautiful sights."
Nodding in agreement he asked, "Why would you get fired though?"
Looking toward the double doors to see if Sango was coming she looked back to him. "Since you already heard everything and haven't snitched on me yet I guess I'll tell you." He laughed at her comment and said, "I promise I wont tell. Since I know how much your job means to you. Plus it can't be that bad or else I highly doubt you would put your job on the line." Nodding in agreement she continued, "It's not bad but to my employer it is. Anyways, Sango's mom had a heart attack Monday night. She's a strong woman and pulled right through it. We weren't really all that worried because we knew she would. But anyways, she hates the food they have been giving her. She says it has no taste and is all mushy. Like old people food." Kagome laughed at her quote. "So she begged me to bring her some McDonald's because they starve her." She rolled her eyes at this. "She's extremely over dramatic; That's were Sango gets it from too. But I did what she asked because she's like my second mom. Even though she knows outside food is against the rules she still wanted it. So me, being the nice me, went and got it for her. I told Sango to do it but Sango didn't want to leave incase any more of her family members showed. So… yup. Here I am now." Kagome finished throwing her hands up in the air.
"Being over dramatic seems to be a contagious thing." Laughing lightly at her glaring at him, he continued. "That was a very nice thing you did. Just don't make it a habit and I'm sure you wont get caught."
"Trust me I don't plan on making it a habit. She gets discharged tomorrow afternoon after a brief check up."
Suddenly the double doors started to open. Before Sango even had a chance to say one word, Kagome grabbed her arm and quickly took off towards the elevators. When she passed Sesshomaru she said a quick 'See you later!'
Sesshomaru just held a smirk in place seeing her move so fast. 'She must have been real tired.' Turning his attention back to the double doors, he saw his half brother Inuyasha approaching.
"Hey butt face. Ready to go now? Kikyo is going to stay awhile." Inuyasha didn't even wait for a response. He was already at the elevators. Sesshomaru just followed suit.
"Why is Kikyo going to stay? Visiting hours is over in 20 minutes." Sesshomaru asked leaning against the railing.
"I don't know. She just told me to go ahead without her. She has a doctor appointment anyways. Do you mind dropping me off at my work to get my car?" Inuyasha asked stepping off the elevator.
Sesshomaru just shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't stop thinking about the blue eyed girl he had just met. 'I need to see her again.' He thought before driving off towards Inuyasha's job.
It was 11:30 pm when Kagome's alarm went off for her to wake up. She needed to get ready for her grave yard shift at the hospital. Ever since she left that morning she couldn't get Sesshomaru off of her mind. His eyes, his smile, his laugh, his voice, his body! She just couldn't stop! 'I wonder if I'll ever see him again.' Just realizing that she would be off for the next four days she thought, 'what if he comes to find me and I'm not there? I need to find him first!'
In a slight panic Kagome rushed getting ready so she could run up to ICU real quick. She had decided for the first time in her life she was going to be bold! She was going to walk right up to him and ask him out!
Grabbing her car keys she threw her stuff into the passenger side and burnt off towards the hospital. Once arriving she had a total of 8 minutes to spare. Grabbing her stuff she ran straight for the elevators to the 4th floor were ICU was. Reaching her destination she noticed no in the waiting room. Usually ICU was always full since they have visiting hours every 3 hours for an hour. Walking swiftly to the patients' area she noticed several people. No one with silver hair though.
"Hey Kagome! What are you doing up here?" Eri, one of the ICU nurses asked.
Kagome, thinking fast, said, "Hey. I was going to check on Sango's mom real fast before my shift down stairs but I don't see her in her room."
Eri, looking suspicious, said, "Didn't Sango tell you they had time to check her out earlier and released her? She should be home by now."
"O, no. She didn't tell me, but thanks for letting me know." Kagome then turned around and left back to the elevators.
'I guess I'll see him if I see him.' Kagome thought feeling defeated.
It was reaching 5 tell 10 am, and Kagome's shift was almost over. 'After I go to the gym for about an hour I'll jump into my big comfy bed.' Kagome thought taking a seat at the nurse's station.
Kagome then looked towards the waiting room and saw Ayumi, her replacement, heading towards the locker room. Getting excited Kagome jumped up and headed for the locker room too.
"AYUMI!" Kagome yelled jumping up and down.
Ayumi turned and giggled at Kagome's actions. "You know I expected you to follow me."
Smiling Kagome said, "But of course. I am ready to leave and go to sleep. So, tonight wasn't actually that bad. We only delivered two babies, and with no problems. A lady just came in this morning and is only 4 cm dilated. She's in room #4."
Ayumi smiled and replied, "Thanks for the update Kagome but now enough about work and let's get personal."
Kagome had this weird look on her face and slowly backed up. "That sounded a little kinky there Ayumi."
Laughing Ayumi grabbed Kagome by her forearm and pulled her to the one sided window. Ayumi pointed to a man that had his backed turned, and just so happened to have silver hair. "I want to know why that gorgeous man out there pulled me to the side and didn't ask me out…. But instead, asked for you."
Kagome realizing who it was the moment she saw him, blushed. "He's just some guy I met up stairs yesterday." Ayumi started pushing her towards the door.
"What are you waiting for? I'm here! Go and see him!"
Kagome turned to glare at Ayumi but all Ayumi did was wave back.
Reaching Sesshomaru, Kagome shyly said, "Hey. You asked to see me?"
Turning around, Sesshomaru smiled upon seeing her. "Ya. Hey. I figured you would still be here. Are you about to get off?"
"Yes why?" Kagome asked tilting her head.
'She's cute when she does that.' Sesshomaru thought. "Well then, since you have been up all night, would you be interested in grabbing a cup of coffee with me?"
Smiling, Kagome nodded her head. "Ya just give me 15 minutes. Ill meet you at the coffee shop across the highway, cool?" She tried to hide her excitement that he came to seek her out, but her big goofy smile was giving it away.
Noticing her excitement, he chuckled, "Sounds great." He said.
She than turned to go grab her stuff, as he started walking back to his car.
15 minutes later, Sesshomaru was waiting for her in his car. He would have ordered the coffee already if he knew what she liked but he didn't. So, he decided to just wait for any sign of her.
He noticed a black Buick park to the right of him. He took a closer look and noticed it was her.
He continued to watch her as she gathered her purse, step out of her car, and drop her keys.
When he stepped out of his car he heard her say, "Shit!"
Leaning on the hood of his truck he said, "You know that's not a very nice word."
She jumped slightly and dropped her keys once more. "Shit! You scared me! I didn't see you there!"
Stepping up to pick up the keys for her, he gave her a smirk and said, "You said it again."
Grabbing her keys from him and giving a frustrated grunt she said, "So sorry! Don't scare me and I won't say it again!" She then turned and walked to the coffee shop.
Laughing lightly to himself, he thought, 'She's feisty.'
