"I'm looking for a Rin Akita..."
Here they were. All the seven of them. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga, Kagome, Sango, and Ayame. Rin had reccently caught a cold that caused her to have a high fever and she had been moved into a nearby hospital. It wasn't so serious... just a high fever and some flu symptoms... but for some reason, this damn nurse was not letting them visit her. It wasn't that the nurse cared about the visitors preventing patients from resting comfortably. All the patients could suffer from exhaustion or die from boredom for all she cared. But that didn't mean she couldn't have fun pissing off the visitors by misleading them into wrong rooms or ignoring them completely.
Miroku was the first to try in asking this uncooperative nurse for Rin's room number. After what Kagome preferred to call a 'confusing trip'- instead of 'useless bullshit of an experience' as Inuyasha had put it - Kagome had tried to convince the woman, but failed, and now an irritated Sesshomaru was trying to get her to tell them the right room.
The nurse had her long black hair up in a casual bun and her crimson eyes seemed to be narrowed all the time. The small name tag on her uniform read 'Kagura'. She was glaring at them with her red eyes as if she detested the fact that they were here. She was obviously not going to give them Rin's room number so easily without a fight that would entertain her.
Round one.
Miroku vs. Kagura the evil nurse. Ding ding!
The gang had entered the vast hospital through the automatic glass doors. Nurses were busy taking care of patients high on sugar and interns were ranting at annoyed doctors about their "great responsibility and amazing skills". Everything was speck and clean. Not a smudge of dirt on the floors or walls.
"Whoa... talk about clean freaks..." Kouga whistled.
"Don't be fooled," Ayame mumbled, "My father's a doc as well as the owner of this hospital and he's a downright slob."
"Argh... weird smells..." Inuyasha crinkled his nose as his sensitive nose picked up the bitter scent of medicine.
"I think I'm in heaven," Miroku seemed to be in a dreamy state as he stared at the curves of the busy nurses.
Sango whacked him on the head.
"You soon will be if you don't stop staring at the nurses," shs growled.
"Aww Sango... you know you're my only woman..."
Sesshomaru resisted the urge to snort. Miroku was known for his perverted manner and many women were fooled by his good looks,
polite manners, and his father's reputation as a redoubtable monk. But Sango knew better.
"I don't remember being your so called 'only woman'..."
"Would you like remember? Well, remember just last night we"
Sango punched Miroku in the face while she tried to control the blush that was creeping up on her neck.
"All right, all right. I remember..." Sango muttered.
"Well as a punishment for forgetting, how about if we spend another one like last night in here...plenty of clean beds you know"
Miroku's left eyebrow quirked as he said this.
"HENTAI! Stupid houshi!" Sango pounded on him, earning disgusted and bewildered looks from many on lookers except for her friends.
"Come on..." Sesshomaru urged quietly, wanting to get out of the crowded entrance full of staring people. He did not find the seductive stares of the women very comfortable. He got that enough on the streets already. It did not lift his mood to hear Ayame and Kagome teasing Sango behind him by asking questions like "Did you enjoy it?" in a girly voice.
The crew headed over to the information desk in the middle of the crowded floor. A bored looking nurse, the antagonist of this story Kagura,
was painting her fingernails blood red to match her eyes.
"Oh wait..." Ayame muttered and she held up a hand to stop the rest.
"What?" snapped Sesshomaru.
Ayame looked at him. It wasn't like him to be so impatient; he was usually in a cool manner with a patient disposition.
"Don't you piss off at me mister; it's all your fault Rin is in this damn-it's-so-clean-it-drives-me-nuts hospital."
"She wanted to go to the park."
"Yeah, but if you guys didn't walk in the rain she wouldn't be here would she?"
"We didn't expect it."
"Heard of a cab before? It was pouring and freezing out there and you guys just had to walk about five miles in that terrible weather!"
"We didn't have any money."
"Hark, are my ears deceiving me? Sesshomaru Takahashi, the one who's been running his own successful business ever since the age of twenty didn't have any money?" Kouga said sarcastically.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at this compliment/mockery. "Cab drivers do not accept credit cards."
"Who told you to go there with a bill-less wallet that's only filled with golden credit cards?"
"Okay enough!" Kagome put the end of the bicker between the three demons. "What were you going to say Ayame?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, before Sesshomaru rudely interrupted-"
"I did not interrupt."
"Yeah like he did just now, we should just look for Rin's room on our own instead of asking that bitch..."
"Ayame!" Kagome warned her, for there were a group of young kids nearby.
"Sorry... um... yeah instead of asking that whore."
Kagome scowled.
"I have this feeling you don't like this nurse very much..."
"You guys wouldn't either if we asked her for Rin's room."
"Why?"
"Because she just doesn't like anyone being happy besides herself." Ayame rolled her eyes." She's only interested in pleasing men"
She emphasized on the word 'pleasing' to get her friends to understand what she meant.
"Well if that's the case... I should be asking her..."Miroku smiled. Ignoring Sango's death glare, he marched up to the nurse behind the desk.
"No Miroku don't... damn... too late..."
"Ayame you don't expect us to search the whole 31 floors that has at least 22 rooms on each floor do you?" Kouga questioned.
"It would be better than asking her..."
"Excuse me fair lady..." Miroku smiled at the woman who was not taking her eyes off her newly painted fingernails.
Kouga and Inuyasha shivered as Sango started sharpening her handy dandy Swiss army knife. She silently cursed herself for not bringing her Hiraikotsu, her bone boomarang, which was great at cracking a few ribs.
Kagura ignored Miroku for a moment before replying in a snappy manner.
"What do you want?"
"I'm looking for someone...if you would kindly tell me her room number?" Miroku looked at the nonchalant nurse seductively.
"Her name?"
"Rin Akita."
Kagura seemed to seethe quietly at the name. She finally looked up from her nails and smiled warmly. It sent the shivers up of everyone's spines, except Sesshomaru who could smile in a more evil way, and Miroku, who was too busy watching the ass of a passing nurse.
"She's in room 1312."
"Why, thank you."
He came back to the rest, who were keeping a distance from them, with a triumphant smile.
"She's in room 1312." He said smugly.
"Wow, she actually told you? I can't believe it..." Ayame muttered.
"Why do you hate such a sweet woman with such attractive figure?" Miroku received a slap on his head from Sango.
"Because the last time I asked her the room where my mother was staying, she ignored me completely because she was talking to this rich, pompous guy who pushed me back in the parking lot...and when I finally got her attention, she told me that my mother passed away... She would¡¯ve fooled me if my mom didn't come behind me high on sugar and caffeine¡¦I¡¯ve got to admit, she really has a talent in acting."
"Couldn't you have just asked another nurse?" Kagome asked quizzically.
"She's the only one with the whole records..."
They piled into the elevator and pressed the button for the 13th floor not knowing what was in store for them and missing the smirk on Kagura's smug face.
Chranze speaking... My first fanfic, I suck at writing, please review, hope you enjoy the story, please review, I love you all, and did I mention review? It's been a few months I found out about and ever since then it's been the only site I visit nowadays.
I live in a country where good school grades is the number one object that will help your life shine like gold, but unfortunately for me, my life is as dull as my textbooks in the corner of my room making friends with the dust bunnies. So in conclusion: there may be slow updates. But hey I will finish this story no matter what happens. See ya!
