They both had night shift this week. They really didn't like it because it usually didn't bring in as much action as the day shift did. Kagome had been interning with Inuyasha for a month now; not that either one really wanted it. But Dr. Yamamoto decided to do this to, hopefully, gain the others trust and become on better terms. Ever since the first day, they had been distant to each other. Dr. Yamamoto would not have it. All of his colleagues enjoyed having to two around but the two couldn't stand each other. He could still see the hostility in their eyes. Everyone got along in his ER. So he made them work together.

Kagome sighed while looking through the doctor's desk reference. She was so bored. She hated the night shift. Nothing ever happened during the night, except if one of the patients that came in during the day would take a turn for the worse. She sighed again while slamming the large book closed. She leaned back in her chair rubbing her eyes. "Kami I am so bored!"

"You're not the only one! Stop complaining! You could check up on patients or charts. You can stock each room or something!"

"I would be checking on patients and charts if we had any! And I can't restock the rooms because I did that when I clocked in at seven! So you tell me what I should do!"

He growled at her. "You're impossible!"

"EMT 15 to Tokyo General ER"

Inuyasha picked up the phone. "Tokyo General ER, go ahead."

"We have a two car pileup. Two victims with many cuts and bruises. One human male and one pregnant human female. Male seems intoxicated. Both are in 'C' collars and we will be there in ten minutes. Over"

"EMT 15, Loud and clear. See you in ten. Over and out."

They moved into action. Kagome went to get out all they would need to treat the patients. She would probably take the female and Inuyasha would take the intoxicated male. Her room was ready; she went to go to Inuyasha's room to get his ready. Inuyasha beeped radiology and called the on call OBGYN, Kaede. Inuyasha saw Kagome run down the hall to get the nurses for them to help. Then saw her run the opposite direction to get the portable Ultrasound machine and wheel it in trauma room one. He was impressed, she did everything quick and efficiently.

Kagome was rushed for time. She knew that the pregnant woman would be worried about her baby and probably go into premature labor. The only bad thing, the ultrasound machine took a full ten minutes to boot up. She wished the EMT would've called sooner. But what's done is done. Well she wasn't complaining now. She wasn't bored anymore. She got the portable machine on and ran out of the room. She saw Inuyasha hang up the phone. "Did you call the OR to prep a room for an emergency Cesarean if need be?"

"Yes Kagome I did and I called Kaede; she's coming down now from the third floor. I beeped radiology to send for two portables, lead shields for the patients, and a permission form for the pregnant woman. Anything else you can think of?"

"No I got the nurses and they're on their way. I got the machines up and running, I got the portable Ultrasound machine booting up, and that's all I can think of."

"Good, good." He heard the ambulance pull up outside. "They're here."

Everything was happening at once. The pregnant woman was screaming and holding her stomach. She was lying on her back strapped to the backboard and in a 'C' collar. She was a little older than herself and if any indication to how big she was, she looked like she was ready to deliver anyway. Kagome knew her patient was in pain but her neck had to be cleared by the radiologist before she could sit up. So the x-ray techs were told to examine the pregnant lady first. They told her the risks to the fetus if they performed the x-ray on her neck; they also told her if she did decide to have the x-ray done that they would double shield her abdomen to help protect the baby. She readily agreed; she wanted to get out of the 'C' collar and sit up. They took the images of her neck and sent them to the radiologist to read. Kagome looked at them while the radiologist read them and saw no fractures or breaks. She made the decision to go ahead and start removing the restraints and let her have some comfort. Five minutes later the radiologist called saying that she was cleared. Kaede had finally arrived and went to go see her trauma patient. While Kagome was getting the pregnant lady situated, she heard Inuyasha's patient come in and go to trauma room two. She could hear him screaming and yelling over her patient's groans of pain.

Inuyasha was looking at Kagome do her thing. He saw her take charge and saw how she calmed down the pregnant woman. He smiled. 'She's a great doctor. If only she'll just talk to me. She probably she's just scared and ashamed at what she did. That's understandable. I guess when she's ready to talk, I'll be waiting.' He was brought out of his stupor when he saw or more like heard his patient coming through the doors on the gurney. He was yelling for them to leave him alone and to take him off the backboard. He was also using a lot of obscene language. Well he was glad that he got this patient instead of Kagome. He didn't think that she could handle it. While her panic and anxiety attacks had gotten better, he still didn't think that she could actually handle a drunk, grown up male. He sighed and went to his patient. "Hey get me out of here! Stop touching me! Leave me the fuck alone!" The belligerent man then saw a young man with silver hair and ears on top of his head. "Hey half-breed get me off of this thing! I need to get back to the bar! I got a date with Jack Daniel's and Jose Cuervo!" Inuyasha looked at the drunkard in disgust. He hated it when people called him half-breed. He took a deep breath and sighed. "Sir, Do you know what you did tonight?"

"Yeah I went to the bar and the cops came and arrested me and here I am."

"Sir Do you even know where you are?"

"Yeah I'm in a holding cell for drunken people to cool off until morning. Even though I haven't been strapped down before."

Inuyasha sighed. 'Damn drunkard doesn't even know he drove and caused an accident.'

"No sir. You are not in a holding cell. You are at Tokyo General Hospital in the ER."

"No I'm not! You're lying! Get me out of here! I want my liquor!"

He was getting annoyed. He hated this part of the job; dealing with drunks that don't know where they are or what they did to get here. "You can't get out because you were rescued by our EMT's and now you have to stay here until you are cleared to leave. You have to have x-rays of your neck to make sure you didn't break it. And the police are going to come and interview you; but I doubt you'll be able to answer any questions since you don't believe you're in a hospital." He and the other nurses in the room heard a loud scream from next door and he smelt that the pregnant woman was indeed in labor and her water had just broke. He turned to Kira that was working the night shift also that week, "Call security and make sure my patient sobers up some. Clean and dress his cuts and scrapes. I don't smell any internal bleeding. Call me if his condition changes.

"Yes sir, Dr. Tashio."

Kagome and Kaede were doing the ultrasound of the pregnant lady named Yuki. She was on the way to the hospital anyway when she started having sharp pains in her abdomen. She was ten minutes away from the hospital when she got T-boned in the passenger side by the drunk driver in the next room. Kaede was pushing on Yuki's stomach when she groaned loudly and felt a gush of water. Kaede took off her gloves and donned on another pair. "Yuki your water just broke I'm going to check and see how much you are dilated. You're going to feel some pressure." Yuki groaned and squeezed Kagome's hand for dear life. "Okay Yuki you are seven centimeters dilated. We are going to move you up to the third floor and get ready to have your baby okay. From what I saw in the ultrasound, the baby is fine. It's just ready to be born. Is there anyone you want us to call for you?"

"M-my husband and my mother. He's working and she's at home."

"Okay. Kagome you stay here and Yuki don't push. And Kagome you keep time of her contractions."

"Yes ma'am." Kaede exited the room to call her floor.

Inuyasha peaked into trauma room one. He saw the pregnant woman starting sweat and groan even more in pain. She had Kagome's hand in a death lock. But the thing that he noticed wasn't about the patient, it was Kagome. He could see a glowing pink aura around her and it was emitting a calming aura to her stressed patient. He was in awe. "So you noticed as well Dr. Tashio." He looked beside him to see Kaede.

"Hai I did. I just never noticed it before. I was wondering why all of her patients that came in that were so stressed got so calm after she went in their rooms. She was naturally emitting her aura to comfort her patients."

"Yes she does. Just as you emit a low growl in your chest, she emits it from her very soul. But that's not all she can do Dr. Tashio. I have noticed that her power has not yet been found. She can heal herself and others to a minimal degree. With some practice and training she may be able to stop bleeding or mend broken bones."

"How do you know this?"

"Why do you think all of my patients leave the hospital just hours after delivery?" He looked shocked at the older woman. She smiled.

"Tell her to come see me when she gets a chance. And good luck with the drunkard." With that she left to prepare Yuki for the transfer. He looked at Kagome one more time and he left to go check on his patient.

Kagome had just finished cleaning the room after Kaede moved Yuki up to the third floor. It was now around two in the morning and Inuyasha was still working on his patient. She washed her hands after depositing the soiled linen in its basket. She went to the nurse's station to call housekeeping to clean trauma room one. After that was done she went to check on Inuyasha and his patient in trauma room two. She walked in and saw the police trying to ask the intoxicated man questions but he still thought he was in a holding cell at the police station. Radiology had cleared him of any neck fractures and he was able to sit up and look around; even though his balance was greatly impaired. The cops told him that he had hit another driver and was being charged with DUI. Inuyasha checked him over and said that all he had was a couple of cuts and bruises. As soon as they had their reports he could be discharged. Kagome saw him on the other side of the room filling out his patient's chart. She walked over to him and nudged him. He looked up with his amber eyes and sighed.

"So how is your patient?" He asked as he went back to filling out the discharge papers.

"She went upstairs to deliver her baby. Her husband and mother are on the way. I'm going to go check on her when I'm off duty. How's he doing? Any better?"

He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "He's sobered up some but he drunk triple the legal limit. So he won't be sober until a long while later. But he has no other injuries so as soon as I'm done with his discharge papers he'll be taken to lock-up and sit there in a holding cell."

"Hmm… Maybe he'll think that he's the hospital when he finally gets to a holding cell."

Inuyasha chuckled. "Yeah maybe."

"Hey pretty lady! Give me a shot of you best scotch!" The drunkard said looking at Kagome.

"I'm sorry sir the only thing I got is bottled water and coffee. And besides I think you've had enough." She said.

"This is a sorry bar! I want to leave!"

"You can leave with my friends in the navy suits as soon as we're done signing these papers."

"Fine, fine! This still is a sorry bar!"

Kagome shook her head and Inuyasha stood up to handed the papers to the cop who was taking the patient to lock up. "If he starts to get an infection in his cuts, just bring him by before seven and I'll take a look at him."

"Sure thing Doc." The cop turned to the drunk. "Okay buddy let's get going."

"About damn time! I got a date with Jack Daniel's and Jose Cuervo!"

The cops walked him out through the ER doors and out of the hospital for the night. Inuyasha and Kagome watched as they lead the patient out and they sighed in relief. He wasn't their problem anymore. They looked at each other and smiled. "Well back to being bored huh?" He laughed and they walked to the lounge to get coffee and finish writing their reports.

It was 6:45 in the morning Kagome was in the locker room getting ready to leave. She had changed, got her purse and was about to leave to go visit Yuki upstairs. She sat on the bench after closing her locker. She leaned her head onto the cold metal and sighed. She was tired and dizzy. It had been about seven hours since she had eaten and she could tell that her blood sugar was low. But she would get something from the cafeteria before she left to go home. But she was quite content to sit there leaning her head on the cool surface of her locker for the time being. She closed her eyes and willed herself to relax for a brief moment. After Yuki and the drunkard, that she still didn't know the name of, was gone, another car accident came in. This time the patients were a lot more severe. Her patient quit breathing twice, she had to call a code on another one, and Inuyasha had to deal with a demon couple that also had a baby being delivered. Poor old Kaede had her time cut out for her. She jerked up when she felt someone shaking her shoulder. She looked up with tired eyes into amber ones.

Inuyasha had talked to Dr. Yamamoto about his and Kagome's cases during the night and he was impressed. Especially with Kagome's aura calming her patients. He was in the locker room changing into his street clothes and was about to leave when he remembered that he hadn't told Kagome to go visit Kaede. He walked around to where her locker was and saw her leaning on her locker with her forehead. He arched an eyebrow and walked over to her. "Kagome?" No answer. "Kagome?" he said a little louder with a shake to her shoulder. She jerked and looked up into his eyes. He sighed. 'She's exhausted.' "You okay?"

She weakly nodded. "Yeah I'm just tired. I won't be complaining about being bored anymore."

He chuckled and sat down beside her. She leaned onto his shoulder. He was shocked but didn't say anything. "You want me to escort you upstairs. I got nothing better to do."

She shook her head no. "No I'm fine. I just need to get up from here and I'll be fine."

"Okay I'll help you up." She lifted her head and he grabbed onto her hands and helped her up. She swayed and he grabbed her around the waist to hold her up. She was shaking in his hold. "Kagome when's the last time you ate?" he asked genuinely worried.

"Um…. Seven hours ago. I was going to get something from the cafeteria before I left to go home."

"Nope you have eat something now. Come on. Do you think you walk to the cafeteria?" She nodded into his chest. 'He smells good.'

They got down to the cafeteria and ate. She felt so much better. She was still tired but she was no longer weak or dizzy. Inuyasha had helped her get her food and made sure that she ate all of what he had gotten her. It was around eight when they left the cafeteria.

"Inuyasha?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for everything. I'm sorry I'm such a bother."

"Don't say that. I'm just glad I came in when I did. You might've had to be admitted if you blood sugar had gotten too low. Why didn't you eat anything?"

"Well you know how busy we were last night. I didn't get a chance."

"Don't let it happen again. I was worried." She stopped and gaped at him.

"You were worried about me?"

"Well…yeah."

She blushed and looked down at the shoes. He smirked. 'She's so cute when she blushes.'

"Well I'm going to go upstairs and see Yuki and Kaede. I'll see you tonight."

"Yeah see you tonight."

Yuki gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It was 7 pounds, 13 ounces born at 4:48 am on September 12, 2008. Kagome smiled when she was given the privilege to hold the newborn. She had never held a newborn before. She was so small. The little one opened her eyes and cooed at the young doctor. "What's her name?"

Yuki blushed. "I hope you don't mind, but we named her Kagome after the doctor that took good care of me in the ER."

Kagome was in shock. She looked back down at the little bundle that was named after her. "Hi Kagome. You have such a wonderful mother. I hope you have a great life little one." Kagome cooed and grabbed the doctor's finger and started sucking on it. She laughed. "I think she's hungry." She handed off the little bundle off to the new mother. It warmed her heart to see the small family. Then she saw that family turn into images of her and her family that she would one day have. And for some reason, she imagined her baby to have silver hair and cute little doggie ears like its father. She shook her head to get the image out of her head and bid the happy family good bye.

She found Kaede at the nurse's station looking over some charts. She smiled when the old doctor looked up at her. "Ah Dr. Higurashi. How are you this morning?"

"I'm a little tired but other than that I'm okay now. My hypoglycemia almost caught up with me this morning. Dr. Tashio got me something to eat and I'm fine now." Kaede smiled.

"Dr. Tashio is a good young man. I delivered the demon child earlier this morning. Please tell him when you see him again that mother and child are doing well."

"I will. Ugh… He told me that you wanted to see me…"

"Ah yes child. Come sit." Kagome sat down with Kaede to talk to her.

"Kagome do you feel drained sometimes after leaving a stressed patient?" Kagome looked at her like she had grown a second head. But as she thought about, she did sometimes feel drained after visited a stressed patient. I wonder how she knew.

"Well the reason I ask is because when Yuki was being stressed with her labor and delivery while in your care, I noticed, as well as Dr. Tashio, that you were emitting a comforting aura from your soul to comfort the patient. You were unconsciously doing it so that's why you feel sometimes that you are drained of energy. And also you have an ability that I also have to heal minor injuries. With some training you can heal internal bleeding and broken bones."

Well that wasn't something she was expecting. I mean she didn't know where it was going, but this was totally unexpected. She could heal people with her soul….? That is just weird. "Um… Kaede how is that possible?"

"No one knows but only a few have the ability and you and I both do. So I wanted to help you become stronger so that you can help more people."

"Yeah that would be great. When do you want to start?"

"Whenever you feel like it"

"Um how about we start next week when I have a few days off."

"That will be fine child. You take care of yourself."

"I will and thank you."
