Chapter 3 - Lunch with Hojo and Getting an Application.

I don’t own Inuyasha and Co.

Just as Kagome reached her car door a sickeningly happy voice tore her from her thoughts. “ Hi Kagome. Sorry I didn’t check back with you after the mail came yesterday, I suddenly became busy.” Hojo stated apologetically. Kagome groaned inwardly and slapped a big smile on her face as she turned to greet her cheerful neighbor. “ Hello Hojo. It’s ok I was tired.” Kagome said not really wanting to tell him the news. “Well….” Hojo started with a ‘did you pass sort of tone.’ Kagome sighed, “Well, what?” Hojo stood there and looked puzzled for a minute then he continued, “ Well did you get your results?” Hojo asked with a small smile. “ Yes I did, and I passed.” Kagome said with a small giggle. She couldn’t help it even if Hojo did get on her nerves she was quite excited about officially being a nurse. A big goofy smile stretched across Hojo’s face as he stepped closer and gave Kagome a friendly hug as he said “ So that means I can take you out to dinner right? I want to help you celebrate.” Just as he finished saying that Kagome’s stomach grumbled ‘ how in the hell can I be hungry already?’ Kagome thought as she saw Hojo laugh lightly. “ Or I could always take you to lunch now. How does that sound.” Kagome’s stomach growled again in response as she smiled sheepishly and accepted the lunch invitation.
They took Kagome’s car and drove to a little café called The Tea Cart. When they arrived they parked the car and walked to the door. Hojo smiled and stepped to the side as he opened the door for Kagome. “Thank you Hojo.” Kagome muttered. Hojo followed close behind Kagome, and when they reached the seating waitress Hojo asked garden seating. The waitress nodded and lead them to a beautiful table for two out in the garden courtyard. It was beautiful they had almost every flower imaginable set up on the outskirts of the dining area. The table they were seated at was black rod iron with burgundy cushions. “Hojo this place is beautiful,” Kagome reflected. “ I knew you’d like it. It’s even more beautiful at night though.” Kagome and Hojo both ordered their drinks and started to look at the menu. Kagome ordered a grilled chicken salad while Hojo ordered a BLT with French fries. They sat and ate, then chatted for a little while. Hojo took the bill to the front of the café and paid the bill and left a tip. He then held out his arm for Kagome, which she took. They then proceeded to walk out the car. They chatted a little on the way back to Kagome’s house. Kagome and Hojo got out of her car and she walked him across the street to his house.
“ Thank you so much for lunch Hojo, I had a wonderful time, “ Kagome stated with utmost sincerity in her voice. “ You’re quite welcome Kagome. Maybe we can go out again sometime?” Hojo asked hopefully. Kagome smiled and thought ‘ he isn’t so bad maybe I will see him again.’ “ That would be very nice Hojo.” Hojo’s eyes lit up and his smile got so big you would think he face would rip in two. “ Well I’m sorry but I have to cut this short, I have to go fill out an application and drop off a resume at Shikon General Hospital. I’ll see you later.” Kagome said as she turned to head back to her car. Hojo stood there for a minute to process what she said then shouted across the street “ Good Luck! I hope you get the job. Bye!” Kagome turned and waved, then she got into her car and backed out and took off toward the hospital.

Kagome sighed as she drove up to the big , white, multi-windowed hospital. It was actually quite inviting for a hospital it had beautiful fall flowers blooming in the red cedar flower beds, two white, beautifully sculpted, stone benches adorned either side of the automatic sliding doors. “Wow this is really nice.” Kagome stated as she stared at the large building. She walked through the automatic doors and continued to walk to the reception desk. She stopped at the desk and rang the little silver bell . A “pink” lady waddled up to the window and asked “ Yes, How may I help you?” Kagome smiled and replied, “I need to be directed to the personnel department. I want to apply for one of the RN positions.” “Ok, well the personnel office is in room 006 in the basement. You take a left when you leave this desk, go straight until you see the elevators. Ride the elevator down to the basement and turn right and it’s the 3rd door to your left.” Explained the gray haired woman. “ Thank you very much for your help,” Kagome replied. She then turned left and followed the older lady’s instructions and was directly under a sign that read ,‘ PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT’ in big black letters. To the left of the door sat four wine colored chairs, and a small side table with an assortment of magazines. Kagome groaned when she looked at the sign hanging on the door in read ‘ Out to lunch, our office is closed until 1:30pm. Thank you.’ She looked to the chairs and decided to sit and wait since she only had to wait for 15 minutes. ‘I can always occupy myself with a magazine’ Kagome thought to herself with a small yawn. She picked up a copy of “Nursing Made Easy,” and began to skim through the articles while she patiently awaited the arrival of the personnel staff. After about 30 minutes Kagome heard yelling coming from the little room that housed the elevators. She looked up from the magazine to see what was going on.

“ Houshi! You are such a pig. I swear you need to learn some manners. I could call you on sexual harassment you know!” yelled an unidentified female voice. “ But Sango I just couldn’t resist. Your bottom is so nice and quite inviting. I just had to touch it.” whined a young man. SLAP! The noise from the smack could be heard from the lunch room. “ Pig!” shouted Sango before she stormed off to her office after knocking the young man unconscious.

She walked right past Kagome and unlocked her door. She suddenly stopped as if realizing something, and turned towards Kagome with a sweet smile on her face. “ How may I help you?” Kagome was caught off guard, but soon she regained her voice and replied, “ I’m here to apply for one of the RN positions.” “Ok come on in and have a seat at my desk while I start up my computer.” Sango said while taking a seat behind her desk. Kagome did as told and took a seat directly in front of Sango. She got her computer booted and cracked her knuckles as she said “ So did you happen to bring your resume in with you?” “ Yes ma’am” Kagome said as she handed Sango her resume. “ No need for the formalities, you can call me Sango. Thank you.” she stated with a smile as she took her resume and began to skim through it. “ Do you happen to know which department you would like to work in?” Sango asked. “ No, but I have it narrowed down between pediatrics and the emergency room.” Kagome answered truthfully. “ Well the ER has two full time night positions available. I can interview you today, but you still have to fill out an application.” Sango stated as she finished reading the resume. She then handed Kagome an application and a black ball point pen and started to type up something on her computer. After about 15 minutes Kagome handed Sango her application and sighed in relief.

Sango looked through the application and smiled. She looked up and asked, “So would you like to begin the interview?” Kagome nodded. “ Ok then I’ll be right back.” Sango said as she exited the room in search of coffee. After five minutes Sango can back with two coffee’s and she handed one cup to Kagome, “ I hope two sugars and a creamer is good for you.” Sango asked in a hopeful tone. “ “It’s perfect, thank you.” “You’re welcome, ok well now down to business.” Sango added. “ If you get this position how can you help this hospital?” Kagome thought for a minute before carefully answering, “ I think I can help by keeping things organized, being cool under pressure, and by showing compassion to the patients in crisis,” she said with confidence. “ Ok where do you see yourself in five years?” “ I see myself moving up in the hospital, maybe even a charge nurse in the ER.” Kagome again answered with confidence. Sango smiled and continued on with the interview. It lasted about 20 more minutes. “Well thank you for showing interest in a position at Shikon General Hospital. I will call you after 1:30 tomorrow afternoon.” Sango said and she got up from behind her desk to shake Kagome’s hand. “ It was a pleasure to meet you, thank you for your time.” Kagome smiled as she turned to leave. “ Good bye Kagome.” Sango called. “ Good bye,” Kagome returned.
As Kagome was headed to the elevator she realized that she had forgotten her purse and headed back towards the personnel office. As arrived she quickly explained that she had forgotten her purse and turned to leave when a handsome young man with Dark eyes and short black hair tied into a small ponytail at the base of his neck walked in wearing sea foam green scrubs. His face lit up like a flash light when he saw Kagome. He bowed and grabbed her hand placing a small kiss on the back of it, “ Hello I’m Miroku, who might you be?” Kagome blushed and quickly withdrew her hand from his grasp as she answered. “ I’m Kagome, I’m applying for the RN position in the ER.” Miroku smiled and said “ Well Kagome it’s nice to meet you. I hope you get the job it would be nice to see a pretty face around the ER. I work in radiology.” He offered as he reached down to rub her ass. Kagome squeaked and turned a nice shade of red before spinning around and smacking the hell out of Miroku. She the muttered a ‘good bye’ to the laughing girl and stormed out of the room, to the elevator, and out the hospital door all while muttering obscenities about men and their perverted tendencies. Meanwhile Sango was still cracking up while Miroku sat rubbing his jaw, with a big grin set on his face. “ Will you ever learn?” Sango asked through her giggles. “ It was worth the pain.” he stated as he walked out the door. Sango sat there at her desk laughing and shaking her head.
