#1- Yeah, it's me again. (Me and Ashley #2 switch off every two chapters so…) Anyway, I'm giving you this chapter ( it's one of my favorites and I know 'cause me and Ashley wrote down the story we're like halfway done in a notebook.) Well, PLEASE REVIEW! 'cause we've gotten 41 hits and only three reviews and two of them are from ourselves so come on people! Help us out here! Haha, well; here you go. (We don't own Inuyasha.)

Ch.2- Switching jobs

P.O.V.- Kagome

White light. Bright, white light. Am I dead? I only have to open my eyes a little wider to find out that answer. No, I'm not dead. Not yet. My once 'light at the end of the tunnel' are simply the florescent lights of my hospital room. Wait, my room…? I thought I was-

"It happened again, didn't it?" I ask, knowing that someone will be in the room with me. Stupid, of course it did! Why do I even need to ask?

"Yes honey. I'm afraid it did." I turn over to see Mom. Her eyes look so worn that I can't help but pity her. It must be hard, having a daughter that you know is going to die. Even worse, poor Mom is spending all her money just to keep me in the hospital. And since I keep on getting these spells, she comes to stay with me and has to take off work in the process. Poor, poor Mom. I really am ruining her life.

"I'm sorry Mama."

"Oh dear! You don't ever need to say that! It's not your fault!" I turn my back to her, I can't even look at her because I know the truth, it is my fault; because I'm the one with the cancer.

Ew. ew. ew. ew. I cringe again.

"Very good job Kagome! You took your shots very well today!" Dr. Ura praises. He really is a very nice man with a warm smile and fading brown hear.

"You really gave us a scare the other day. What were you doing out of bed?" I smile sheepishly. I couldn't very say that I saw the most gorgeous demon that I have even seem in my life passing my room and I wanted a better look.

"Just looking around." I mumble. Not completely a lie. Dr. Ura looks at me with great concern shining through his thick brimmed glasses.

"You're just lucky that that boy was there to catch you. He was almost done with his shift when you fell."

"He… works here? For some reason, that surprises me." Dr. Ura looks as surprised as I do.

"Why is that?"

"The way he walked around seemed like he owned the place, not swept the halls," I explain. The good doctor smiles.

"He does. Well, his father is a very big investor to this hospital. Apparently, his son is working here as a candy stripper for a little while. I'm not sure why."

"Dr. Ura?" I say biting my lip.

"Yes Kagome?"

"Do… do you think you could do something for me?"

It has been fifteen minutes since I had asked Dr. Ura to go find that guy who had saved me so I could thank him personally. Although I don't have anything better to do with my time besides wait, I'm still insanely annoyed by how long it's taking. Maybe they're not coming at all. But I don't want to lose hope on the situation… after all, there's still a chance! I guess I could do some crossword puzzles or something, but I feel to distracted to do anything like that. I hear the door open with a rusty-sounding squeak. Suddenly, I'm very afraid of looking to see who it is; and I have no idea why. I find myself swallowing hard before I turn to look to see who's at my door.

"Hello Kagome, I brought you a visitor."

P.O.V- Inuyasha

"…And so, I just wanted to thank you in person…"

"…"

"So… I hear you work here now. Are you having fun?" I scoff.

"How fun do you think it would be to have to go around all day taking care of old people?" She blushes a little bit.

"Sorry." I don't even really know why I'm still even in this room, Doctor Ura who dragged me here left a while ago! Oh wait, yeah I do know why I'm still here; because when I'm in here I'm not out there working.

"I was just trying to be friendly." The girl from yesterday, Kagome, says.

"Well, I don't need you as a friend. I have my own."

"Jeeze! What did I do to you? Huh? And I never accused you of not having friends and I never said that I wanted you as one of mine!" It's the first time since I've entered the room, I realize, that she's looked me in the eyes.

"You fainted in my arms, that's what you did to me!"

"I didn't faint in you arms, you caught me!" Just who did this girl think she was dealing with!

"I don't just let people go around fainting all over the place, it looks bad on me!" I explain.

"Since when do you have pride or care about you're reputation? You don't and I know because if you did you wouldn't be yelling at a sick girl who's just trying to thank you!" I feel myself stiffen. This girl really knows how to cover every angle.

"You want to thank me? Well you did, and you're welcome. Now I have a job to do so I'll see you later!"

"No, you won't Inuyasha." I look to see who said that, it was Dr. Ura who has suddenly reappeared by the open door.

"What do you mean doctor? Not that I care if I see him again." Kagome says, muttering the last part to herself. Dr. Ura smiles.

"I talked to the program that Inuyasha is in and they agree with me and my decision to re-assign you Inuyasha." Yes! I'm out of this hospital!

"So instead of being a candy striper, you are now Mrs. Hirigushi's (wow, I can tell I just butchered her last name… sorry.) personal Sunshine assistant!" Dr. Ura says 'Sunshine assistant' like it would be something that I would strive in. Not sure what a sunshine assistant is, but it has to be better than a candy stripper. Hopefully this Hirigushi lady is old and is most of the time passed out.

"WHAT!" Wow that sounded angry. I turn and look at that Kagome girl and see her looking a lot paler than usual.

"He is going to be my personal SUNSHINE ASSISTANT!" Oh great, her name is Kagome Hirigushi.

"Hold on a minute!" I scream, catching everyone's attention. (My yelling tends to do that a lot.) Dr. Ura seems to remember now that I'm in the room, after Kagome's little episode he had focused everything on her.

"What's a sunshine assistant and what makes you think that I'll ever even agree to this?"

"A sunshine assistant spends their time taking care of one person. Really, the duties are basically the same as your old job but the difference is that you'll be talking to the people a lot more and that you'll only be with one person. And as for agreeing; I talked to your father Inuyasha, he thinks it's a good idea." Dr. Ura just stands there and smiles at me. How much I want to wipe that smile off his face…

The next few days were the same. It turns out that Kagome doesn't hold grudges- a very good thing for me because after telling Miroku what had happened, he hit me on my head and told me that I was an idiot. Then he told me that he bets she has a nice butt… he is not coming near Kagome. Not that I care what happens to her, it's just that if they find my best friend grouping my assigned patient, there will be trouble. Kagome isn't my friend, but at least we don't kill each other.

"Hey Kagome." I greet as I enter the room. I close the door gently and turn to look at her. She's sitting on her bed looking at her hands that are resting on her lap, balled into fists.

"Hi…" She says softly. Kagome has never acted like this before around me, it scares me.

"Something wrong?" I ask, taking a seat by her bed. She looks up at me with a forced smile.

"No… nothing. Just that it's… Wednesday." I look at her questioningly. Weird girl. I'm about to ask her what's so wrong with Wednesdays when I hear the door open and see the nurse come over and walk over to the other side of Kagome's bed.

"Alright Kagome," She says, "Today we're going to do this fast and easy. No stalling young lady." She warns. This lady's expression is as hard as nails with a large cold frown on her face. I look at Kagome's scared, frozen expression and smell her fear. I worry about what this nurse is going to do to her when I see her take out a rather large needle.

"We're only doing three shots this week, so let's get it over with." Kagome turns her head away and closes her eyes shut. Then she juts out her hand at me.

"Inuyasha, quick! Give me something to hold!" I look frantically around the room but don't see any pillows or stuffed animals near by; she keeps all of that kind of stuff on the other side of the room and if I ran there, I wouldn't be back in time. Well, if I ran at a human pace; if I ran full speed I probably could, but I'm to nervous to do that, afraid that I'd knock something over important like her heart monitor. So I give her the only thing that I have.

"Here," I say, sticking my hand into hers, "Squeeze my hand." I don't know what came over me, but it's too late to go back now. Kagome doesn't seem to mind however; she sits there holding my hand and clutching the life out of it like there's no tomorrow.

#1- So, what ya think? Review or bust here people!
