Sango took Naomi to the room they'd share and helped her unpack her bag. Naomi looked at Sango saying, "I am very grateful Sango we will have to see if we can figure a way for me to work. Who knows if I will ever get my memory back?"

Sango smiled patting Naomi on the back saying, "How about we see that specialist the police want you to see says and go from there. Besides, we will need job idea's from Agent Koga anyway. There aren't many places that will hire someone who can't prove who they are."

Naomi took Sango's hand saying, "You are an excellent friend Sango but I will live longer than you. I can't be a burden to you and your descendants for the rest of my days."

Sango smiled replying, "Naomi as far as I'm concerned you and I are sisters, and I will not be happy unless you are as well. We will figure something out even if we have to consult matchmakers or find you a live in job with demons. For now, I think a little freedom is in order and perhaps if you're lucky something you see will trigger your memory."

Naomi hugged Sango saying, "I couldn't ask for a better sister Sango. Even if I find my family, I will always see you as my sister."

They came out of the bedroom just in time for Miroku and Hojo to show up at the apartment. Naomi put her hand out saying, "Pleasure to meet you Hojo. I am Naomi."

Hojo smiled replying, "Pleasure to meet you, Naomi. How about we go talk at the kitchen table while these two have their date in the living room."

Naomi nodded and went with Hojo to the kitchen. Sango looked at Miroku asking, "Are you sure she will be safe with him?"

Miroku smiled saying, "She will be fine besides we can see the kitchen from here and if he does one thing either of us doesn't like I will clobber him myself."

Sango now less concerned settled in to watch the movie with her date. Naomi chuckled at the look Sango gave Hojo before turning to be with her date. Hojo said, "She certainly is protective over you."

Naomi smiled replying, "Yeah she is. Why don't you tell me about this Kagome you are smitten with even though she's married?"

Hojo sighed saying, "We went to high school together she was sick throughout high school. I always brought her herbal remedies and hoped she'd notice me but she had this no good two timing boyfriend. I stood by her and continued to try to show her I would make a better boyfriend, but she only ever saw me as a friend. Everyone thought she was crazy until his brother married it seems his brother's wife brought the two together. Along with his father and his brother's Mother, they all worked together to straighten him out. After a long time of living together, they convinced him that it was time to marry her that he was shaming the family by continuing as he was. I just have a hard time letting her go as he cheated on her once I am sure he will again."

Naomi patted his hand saying, "Hojo I admire that you care so greatly for her. But look at it this way what you're hoping for may never happen and in the meantime, you are sacrificing any possible happiness you can have. There may be a woman out there for you; you're just not seeing her only because you are chasing a woman who is already taken. But I can understand matters of the heart, and as long as she occupies so much of yours, it would be unfair to anyone else."

Hojo frowned, but he was grateful for the advice he sighed he had a lot to think over. For now, he had a woman to entertain, so he said, "What's your story Miroku didn't tell me other than his girlfriend's sister had been through a lot and she didn't want to leave her alone."

Naomi replied, "I am not related to Sango we had just gotten close over the years we were together. I was held prisoner for the past 14 years by a man so obsessed with marrying me he wasn't going to be happy until I did. I remember nothing from before 14 years ago I know he took me but I have no clue who my family is or if my name is even Naomi. Hojo take it from me if it were meant for you two to be together you would."

Hojo was shocked he had spent the past 14 years waiting for Kagome's husband to mess up again. Only to be left disappointed and feeling empty. Hojo sighed perhaps it was time for him to consider moving on finally. He most certainly didn't want to become so obsessed with his happiness that he destroyed hers in the process. Hojo replied "That is the saddest thing I have ever heard. But I am glad that you have told me as it has made me realize that I am putting my happiness before hers. I believe you are right it is time for me to move on and while it may take some time to make room for someone new I am not going to continue chasing a dream. Perhaps I will be lucky enough to find a new dream to pursue."

Naomi smiled saying, "I think that will be a good thing for you Hojo. Even if it's not a woman, it's better to chase something that can be yours then something that can't."

Hojo rubbed the back of his neck replying, "True I feel silly now. All those years wasted on something that would never be."

Naomi patted his hand saying, "They weren't wasted they were a learning experience just apply what you learned to a new goal, and I bet you will be successful."
