Anywho, on with the story
"YOU SAID WHAT?" Sango, Vanessa, Emily, and Grizel shrieked. Kagome winced.
"I said 'sure'. With even thinking! It just slipped out!" She flopped her head back so that it lolled off the back of her couch. The five of them were situated in Kagome and Sango's apartment. The apartment across the hall was Grizel's and the one next door to hers was Vanessa's and Emily's. Across from theirs, was the new neighbor's apartment. This meant that the new neighbors could probably hear everything that they were yelling through the paper-thin walls.
"So, you're going to VERMONT to work FOR the TAKAHASHI'S and nurse a CUTE GUY back to health, all alone there?" Emily asked.
"Yup."
"Good for you Kags!" Vanessa giggled. Kagome's jaw dropped.
"What do you mean 'good for me? Its not good for me! I don't have time for a relationship right now! Plus, even if I did like him - which I do not so you can close your mouths right now – He IS ENGAGED! I wouldn't have a chance with him anyways." Kagome pouted, grabbed a pillow and held it close to her chest. Vanessa looked that the other nurses and nodded. She got up and walked over to the phone.
"What are you doing? You better not call Australia again because I'm still paying that off!" Kagome said, turning to watch her friend pick up the phone.
Vanessa turned back to her, a silly smile on her face.
"Aww Kags! That was ONE TIME! Can't you learn to forgive and forget?"
"Yeah when you GIVE me the money the GET my full phone service package BACK!" Vanessa stuck her tongue out at her, dialed the number, and put the phone to her ear. Kagome turned back to her friends.
"No, really, what is she doing?"
"Hello…Hey Stepha…yeah, its Vanessa… I'm great… Yeah everyone else is too… Well, you can start with whether or not you deliver…You are? Well can we get some goodies? ...Okay then here is the address… Of course, you never did!" Vanessa laughed loudly. Stephanie made a comment on the other side and Vanessa scoffed and took the phone from her ear and stuck her tongue out at it.
Then, she put it back to her ear.
"Yeah, I just stuck my tongue out at you… I know! Just like old times! ... Everyone, Stephanie says hi and she says to Emily, 'Tell him I said NO!'"
Emily burst out laughing and the other nurses, minus Vanessa, who had turned her attention back to the phone, stared at her.
(lol if ur wondering, it's a joke between Emily, me, and the ppl at St. Leo, and a few other ppl lol I cant say it without her laughing lol)
"Yeah… Okay… its on 8th street and main, building 82361 on the 5th floor, down the hall to the left, the third door on the right side of the hall. You got that all? ... Yeah, it is descriptive, I know… Alrighty then, we'll see you in a few minutes! Bye Stepha… Okay, buh bye." She hung up the phone, walked back to the couch, and sat down next to Kagome.
"I bet you anything she'll get lost." Sango said.
"That's mean Sango!" Kagome gasped, throwing the held she held at her. Sango blocked the attack with her arms and let out a shriek. Kagome smiled and then grabbed the other pillow next to her.
"Anyway, back to what I was saying before you all started asking me other questions, after Sango had left, I went to go fix his IV and then his dad started asking me questions. I answered them all and then he sprung the 'will you work for me?" part on me! And InuYasha took my hand and asked "How about it, Kagome? Will you be my stay at home nurse?" I was like- I just- I didn't think! I just nodded and said sure!"
"And, knowing you, you probably blushed." Emily said, smirking. Kagome looked up at her friend sharply before blushing again and looking down.
"Yeah… I think I did."
"What do you really think of him Kagome?" Grizel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Who?" She asked, again looking up at her friend.
"His father Kagome." She said sarcastically. Kagome stuck her tongue out that Grizel and looked up at the ceiling.
"Well, I don't really know that much about him-"
"Which is impossible because I saw you reread his transcript about twenty times." Emily interjected.
"Well, yeah, I'm his NURSE. I'm supposed to know what he's allergic to, how tall he is, how much he weighs, his birthday, his physician, his phone number-"
"You know his PHONE NUMBER? You're not supposed to read that part!" Emily said, perking up and throwing a pillow at her.
"I-i-I didn't m-mean to s-say that!" Kagome protested, using the pillow she was holding as a shield as her face turned beet red.
"Sure you –" Emily's retort was cut off by someone knocking on the door lightly. Vanessa got up and looked through the peephole.
Then, she threw the door open quickly. Stephanie was there, waving shyly at someone with a blush on her face. Vanessa poked her head outside the door and saw that she was waving at the new neighbor. He smiled when he saw Vanessa and then went inside his apartment. Vanessa pulled Stephanie in.
"So, you met the new neighbors?" Emily asked from the couch, seeing the look on Stephanie's face.
"They are so cute, aren't they?" Grizel piped up. Stephanie nodded and put two peach boxes on the table.
"I accidentally knocked on their door. Not that I won't do that again whenever I come over here from now on!" She said.
"Told you she would get lost." Sango said.
"Shut up Sango. By the way, this is Sango." Kagome said, gesturing to her.
"Nice to meet you." Stephanie said, nodding at her.
"Likewise." Sango said.
"Now… Why is it that I had to rush over here?"
"Kagome." Everyone but Kagome and Stephanie said. Kagome blushed again.
Stephanie grabbed a box and gave it to her. She opened it and a sweet aroma filled the air.
"Mmm, Stephanie this smells wonderful!" Kagome exclaimed, "That's it, I'm her with me!"
"With you where?" Stephanie asked, sitting down on the arm of the sofa.
"To Vermont. I have to go there to work for the Takahashi's." Kagome said, picking out a doughnut.
"Vermont? Hell yes!" Stephanie said with a laugh. Kagome laughed and passed the box to Vanessa, who picked out an éclair she had been eyeing. She passed the box to Sango.
"Okay, but why do you have to go there to work?"
"Because they hired her to be InuYasha's stay at home nurse." Emily said, taking the box from Sango.
"Oh." Stephanie said
"Hey! I didn't pick yet!" Sango pouted. Emily stuck her tongue at her.
"You were taking too long." Emily said, picking out a doughnut, an éclair, a cookie and another doughnut. Grizel took the box from her and took two cookies. Sango took the box away from Grizel and took one doughnut.
"One doughnut? You were complaining because you didn't get to choose your one doughnut!" Emily whined. Sango glared at her pointedly and took a large bit of her doughnut.

"InuYasha, you will behave at the house won't you?" His father asked, patting him on the shoulder. InuYasha winced. It was his hurt shoulder. Though, his father should have known, it WAS in a cast.
"Yeah, Dad, I promise. AS long as SHE doesn't try anything." InuYasha said with a playful grin. His father looked at him sternly.
"You are engaged to marry Ms. Kasha, InuYasha(Lol that rhymes!). I won't have you messing this up."
"Dad, I was joking. Take a chill pill, which is what I NEED by the way," He added, pressing the "Call Nurse" button. His leg was starting to hurt and his head was throbbing.
"InuYasha, before we lose this alone time together, what do you really think about Kikyo?" His father asked, looking at his son. InuYasha knew his father didn't like Kikyo that much. The only thing he liked was that she came from wealth. Other than that, she was quite annoying.
"She- what do you want me to say? I'm marrying her aren't I?" InuYasha said, looking down. A few tense seconds passed before the door opened and A nurse walked in. She was followed by Sesshomaru, who was holding two cups of Starbucks coffee. He gave one to his father and put the other on a table. He sat down and opened a magazine.
Kagura walked over to InuYasha.
"What do you need, hun?" She asked in her 'nurse' voice. Kagura didn't talk like that at all. "Hun" shouldn't even have been in her vocabulary, at least not yet. That's a word you say to your grown up daughter, trying to get her to calm down because she freaked out when her kid didn't come home on time.
"My head and leg hurt, I think the pain killers are fading." InuYasha said, looking up at her. She nodded and smiled kindly, lifting a little needle from her smock pocket and flicking it twice. Then, she administered it into the IV. InuYasha felt his pain slowly ebb away and smiled at Kagura. She smiled back and stood up straight. InuYasha looked around his room for the millionth time that day. Then, he saw something peculiar. Sesshomaru was STARING at the nurse. SESSHOMARU, the Ice Prince, was STARING at a girl! Oh, was he going to milk this!
"Thank you Ms…?" He asked.
"Call me Kagura." She said.
"Kagura. By the way, Kagura, could you bring something for my brother, he seems to have a problem blinking." He said with a smirk. Kagura turned quickly to Sesshomaru, who-caught staring- blushed lightly.
"HAH! I HAVE FOUND YOUR WEAKNESS OLDER BROTHER! And I will never let you forget this day!"
"Yes," Kagura said, smiling," It seems he does. Maybe I should take him the nurse's station and see what I can do there." She said, winking is his direction.
Sesshomaru looked down at his magazine very quickly, his blush deepening a bit. Kagura gave a hearty laugh and looked back at InuYasha, press the button if you need anything. Also, Mr. Takahashi, Dr. Hojo Atoka is ready to see you. He just got out of surgery."
"Ah, thank you Nurse. I suppose that that is my cue to exit. I'll be back soon." He said, getting up from the chair next to his son's bed and striding to the door. Kagura followed close behind and when he reached the door, he held it open for her. She thanked him and stepped out the door. He turned to his oldest son and gave a thumbs up sign. InuYasha burst into laughter as the door closed.
"You are lucky that you are injured or I would have broken that leg FOR you just now." Sesshomaru said angrily.
InuYasha wiped his eyes and said to his brother between laughs, " That was so funny. Though, it seems that DAD approves of her. And I like her so maybe you SHOULD pursue her, huh Big Bro? I mean, she DOES have a nice ass. And she seems to be about your age."
"InuYasha. Shut up." He said, turning the page in his magazine, pretending to be interested in it. InuYasha just started laughing again.
----------
"Dr. Atoka. Pleasure to meet you." InuYasha's father said, smiling charmingly, shaking the younger man's hand. Hojo smiled amiably and sat down at his desk.
"Please, Mr. Takahashi, have a seat." He said, gesturing to one of the two armchairs in front of his desk. Mr. Takahashi sat down and crossed his legs, becoming as comfortable as he could.
"Now, what was it that you wanted to speak to me about? I'm sorry to make this meeting short but it is well past eight and I need to be getting home."
"Family?" He inquired, cocking his head to the side.
"No, uh… dog."
"Ah, I see. Well, I wish to speak to you about Kagome Higurashi, Dr. Atoka."
"Please, call me Hojo. What about Kagome?"
"Well, as you know as her employer, she has excellent credentials as a nurse. I would like to hire her, as a personal nurse for my son."
Hojo's face blanched. What should he do? If he said no, Kagome would probably hate him for not letting her get more experience, but if he said yes, she probably wouldn't want to work at Manhattan Municipal Hospital anymore.
"Well, uh, h-have you asked her?"
"Yes, and she said she would take the job."
"Well, if you can find someone who can cover for her until your son heals, and be able to pay her, than, I guess, it's okay. But after your son gets well-"
"She'll be back here to work."
"Alright then." Hojo said.
"Very well, I'll send you the paper work you need and InuYasha will be able to go home in about..?"
"Two days." Hojo said, clearing his throat.
"Well, then, I guess you should tell Ms. Higurashi then, shouldn't you?"
Hey! Srry this took so long to put on. FCAT is coming up and I should be studying rite now, but, I just cant concentrate. So here ya go!
BuNNy
