"...This elevator is slow." Sesshomaru was staring at the changing numbers on top of the elevator that announced the floors they passed.
Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "We only got on, Fluffy."
Sesshomaru turned his gaze to his younger brother to glare at him. "Do not address me by that name."
"Oh yeah, I forgot...Only Rin can do that...Damn... "
Kagome giggled and Sesshomaru let him live because they had reached the thirteenth floor.
Ding-
"Ok... Rooms 1300-1310 to the right...Rooms 1310-1320 to the left..." Kouga turned left to lead the group when he saw Sesshomaru in front of him already walking in a brisk gait.
The rest of them ran up to catch up with him as he put his hand on the doorknob.
"Oh wait the flowers..." Kagome handed Sesshomaru the bouquet he had brought.
Buttercup and a few branches of baby breaths. She had always preferred wild flowers better than the fancy ones for embellishment, such as roses.
He had not seen her ever since she had been ill and that had been three days ago...he was used to seeing her every day and the fact that she hadn't been with him for full three days did not please him at all. He turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
The crew were greeted by an unexpected yell.
"Oh shit! GET IT OUT OF ME! Morphine!"
"Ma'dam you 'ave to be calm! Non, do not grip my 'air!"
The scene made all three humans, three youkais, and a half demon freeze in the doorway. A woman was apparently giving birth to her child and was squeezing her face in pain as well as gripping the blond curls of the doctor with a French accent. Nurses were running around waiting to deliever the child and calm down the woman. That was what was happening two seconds ago before Sesshomaru opened the door, causing everyone in the room (including the woman who was still gripping the doctor's hair) to stare and stop what they were doing.
Inuyasha was the first to recover.
"Why, you're doing a great job! By the looks of it, you're bringing a rather, er, healthy son into the world! And uh... these are for you"
He grabbed the bouquet that was in Sesshomaru's loose grip, and shut the door before anyone in the room and in the doorway came out of the state of shock.
For a minute or two, everyone was silent.
"I finally understand why women get angry when I ask them to bear my children..." Miroku seemed to be in a state worse than shock.
"I knew that bitch was up to something when she gave us the room so easily!" Ayame cursed.
"Darn these doors are sound proof...Can't believe we couldn't hear all that noise from out here..." Sango complimented.
"Those were for Rin..." Sesshomaru growled at Inuyasha.
"I wonder why we got the wrong room... isn't this room 1312?" Kagome checked the number on the door.
"Yes, it is room 1312 Kagome, but you really got to be a little more suspicious of people," Ayame muttered.
"That slut gave us the wrong number on purpose..."
"Why can't your father fire her?" Kouga asked irritatedly.
" 'Cause he won't believe me that she is nothing but a lazy sex addict...she pretends to work really diligently anytime he comes around"
Ayame said in a sour tone.
"Are you saying that the nurse on the first floor had mislead us? On purpose?" Sesshomaru was ticked off.
"Actually lied is more like it...she's probably laughing her ass off right now..."
As soon as the elevator door opened on the first floor, Sesshomaru practically zoomed to the information desk where the nurse was now adjusting her hair. If it wasn't for Kouga's quick agility that allowed him to hold him back, Sesshomaru would have ripped her into pieces for giving him the wrong information. His eyes were slightly red and the tip of his claws were already dripping a few drops of poison. He had little patience when it came to meeting Rin. Two interns who were passing by stared at them, but they quickly returned to their conversation about the sign on the mortuary door when Sesshomaru glared at them with blood red eyes.
"Yo take it easy man...we're in the hospital you know?"
"You guys, stay here," Kagome said as she made her way to the desk, "Keep Sesshomaru from attacking anybody all right?"
"Good luck," Sango said as she helped the boys try to persuade Sesshomaru to turn his eyes back to their original golden color. It was not working; his eyes were turning crimson now as he realized that a mere bitchy nurse was keeping him from achieving what he had wanted to do for the last three days.
Kagome sighed as she walked up to the desk.
Begin Round 2.
Kagome vs. the evil bitch from Hell(Ayame liked this title)
Ding ding!
"Excuse me..." she said politely.
Kagura ignored her. She continued to adjust her hair while looking in a small hand mirror.
"Excuse me," Kagome raised her voice in case she didn't hear her.
"Oh my, Naraku-san..." This time Kagura stopped a doctor with thick wavy black hair and an annoyed look on his face as he was passing by. "You look lovely with your hair down... Oh, and it's almost lunch... How about you and me?" She cooed.
Kagome was disgusted. Ayame was right after all.
"I'm sorry Kagura, but I have work to do," Naraku narrowed his eyes as he answered.
She merely gave a high pitched laugh. "Naraku-san...sometimes I have to say that you are turning a work aholic."
"Thank you, I take that as the finest compliment I could ever recieve." He turned around and before Kagura could say anything, Kagome rushed towards him.
"Excuse me, Dr. er, Naraku," Kagome rushed, "Do you happen to know a patient called Rin Akita?"
"No I do not." He answered without hesitation.
Kagome could've realized that he was lying by catching the annoyed, but nervous glint in his eyes, if she wasn't interrupted by Kagura.
"Excuse me," Kagura said rather dangerously, "But if you haven't noticed, I was talking to him."
"Sorry, I was a bit deaf there like you were when you ignored me completely," Kagome muttered.
But both being a youkai, Kagura and Naraku caught her words. Kagura gave a quick glance towards Naraku and turned to gaze at Kagome with leering eyes as she gave a false laugh.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were there," she simpered, "What can I do to help you?"
"I'm looking for a patient with the name Rin Akita."
"Now let's see..." Kagura turned to the computer and fiddled with the keyboards. Kagome couldn't see what she was doing because the computer screen was towards the other way, but it did make her suspicious when Kagura came back with the most unexpected answer.
"I'm sorry, but we don't have the name Akita..."
Kagome narrowed her eyes. Behind her, the boys stopped trying to tie down Sesshomaru so he won't go murdering anybody.
They all froze at her unexpected answer.
"But I'm sure she came in three days ago..." Kagome argued.
"Do you think I am lying to you?"
'Yes, because you just did and that scene will be a part of our memories forever haunting us...' Kagome scowled inwardly, but as she thought of a good idea which was a whole lot better than asking this uncooperative woman, she smiled.
"Oh, sorry. I must've got the wrong hospital."
She was about to turn around and leave, when Kagura gave a mirthless laugh.
"I was only joking, miss," Kagura said with an evil gleam in her eyes, "See that hall to your right? Well, go straight until you reach the blue door to your left."
'Now we're getting somewhere!' Kagome thought with relief. She was thinking about asking Inuyasha to sniff Rin out, but now with the woman's help, they could save much more time.
"What's the room number?"
"Well it's 151, but the sign came off this morning, and we thought the super glue we have to use to put it back on would make your friend you're looking for a bit queasy."
"Thank you, I really apprecitate your help," Kagome gave her a genuine smile of gratitude as she turned back to head towards her friends.
"Hey, you came back fast..." Sango remarked.
"And?" Ayame impatiently asked as she tried to convince Sesshomaru to stop giving the innocent passing by interns his death glare.
"She was actually kind really... She's in room 151."
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at Kagome.
"Are you sure?"
"Um...I wouldn't be sure unless I actually go there would I?" Kagome raised her eyebrows.
He gave a small 'Hn.' and followed Kagome as she led the gang down the hall that led to their destination.
"Here we are!" Kagome announced.
The crew were facing a blue door. There were markings of dry glue on the door to indicate that there once was something glued onto it.
"Where's the sign?" Sagno asked.
"She said that the sign fell off the door this morning."
"Then why the hell didn't they glue it on?"
"Sango, do you honestly think the smell of super glue would be good for a sick patient?"
"This comes from the woman who locked me in with that horrible incense when I came down with the cold..." Inuyasha muttered.
"Hey! You had a stuffy nose and that incense cured you in the end anyways! Do you know how hard I worked to get those few sticks?"
"No, but you're right, it did cure my nose... and it also left an unbelievable stench in it for a week to remind me what I went through."
Kagome was about to retort to this statement, but Miroku stepped in and broke their arguement.
"Now, now... we're here to see Rin in a cheerful mood aren't we? No need to get frisky and impatient." He said with a cheery smile.
"Keh...you only came here to gawk at the nurses.."
"Oh my I can't wait to see Rin!" Miroku ignored Inuyasha and he pushed the door open. The scene in front of them was certainly not what they had expected.
I send words of thanks to my three reviewers:
Lamely Lambent: Thanks for the cupcake!
animeroxz : Yeah, the story's updated now, hope you didn't wait too long.
littlefiction: Actually, I decided to live the rest of my life unemployed... But my mom's staring over my shoulder right now so I should'nt say such things...
It's getting freezing by the minute here and probably around the world except for the tropical places and lower hemispheres whatever,
but I hope everyone is nice and snug and warm unlike me sob. Just to tell you why I was incredibly late on the update, I'm not so good with computers and it took me heck of a long time to find out how to update.
