Chapter eight, ER!

InuYasha pulls up to the hospital he'd been hired at just weeks ago, this being his first day. It was early in the morning, and his shift started in just ten minute - but he liked the early hours of the day they had always been his favorite time to spend with himself.

Jumping out of his car, he hits the alarm button and steps inside the large white building and is instantly greeted by a woman, she was cute but nothing like Kagome - dear Kami there he went thinking about HER again.

However, the nurse snaps him out of his thoughts by taking his hand and giving her name as Nurse Arimi, asking if he'd already been given a tour of his working area.

He nods and the woman proceeds taking him upstairs to the dressing room. InuYasha didn't mind a helping hand but seriously this woman was getting on his nerves - jabbering on and on about this and that, many things he already knew about.

Quickly tossing his bag into the locker and throwing a stethoscope over his neck he walks outside, once again greeted by that annoying young woman.

This time she does something good for a change, she hands him a white doctors coat and his name tag and security key.

Arimi soon leaves him alone - thank Kami - and InuYasha finds himself getting right to work, picking up the first patient clip board in the ER room.

He never meant to become a ER doctor but somehow when he was at Harvard he read through the whole program and what he saw he liked - so here he was.

Kagome makes her way through the hospital, her first day and everything so far was great! A nurse by the name of Yuka had helped her get going and she was soon busy assisting a ER doctor introduced to her as doctor Juang.

The name sounded really familiar to her and she asked him on their first break if he was related to Genteken Juang, the man engaged to Kirara Kaneko.

Drinking his coffee the man nodded, yeah that was his brother his full name was Yang Huang.

As they sat there conversing for the small time the break really was, Kagome looked up and almost spit out the tea she was drinking - not even a few feet away stood InuYasha.

Thankfully he had his back turned against her and she excused herself from a slightly surprised Yang - half running half jogging out the doorway of the staff rest room.

Her heart was slamming against her rib cage, this was not happening he did not work here. However, when she turned around to go back to work she walked right into a warm firm chest.

Almost tripping backward she felt two strong arms holding her in place and a concerned voice asking her "Are you okay?"

Looking up, sputtering out a apology she nearly bit her tongue when her brown eyes locked with melted gold.

"Kagome?" His voice deep and low, she felt a small quake rumble through her body - Dear Kami, how he affected her.

"Hi InuYasha, I didn't know you worked here." She lied, after regaining the ability to speak and move - she took a large step back out of his strong arms.

InuYasha felt like growling at her, she was lying - but why? Maybe she had spotted him and didn't exactly feel like talking to him for some odd reason? Whatever the cause for this lie, he didn't like it but found himself drinking her presents.

She was as beautiful as ever, her hair up in a tidy bun - but some hairs had escaped the prison of the hairstyle and curled down her slender flawless neck.

This time he didn't have time to get his head into the gutter, as someone called his name over the intercom telling him to hurry to the ER examination room one.

"Well nice talking to you," Kagome peeped out and soon was gone down the hallway, InuYasha didn't have time to debate how to react on that as he now made his way to the room that had called him.

Reaching the room he asked the nurses available what they had there for him, a small kid had been shot and was bleeding heavily from a large gap in his skull.

InuYasha quickly scanned the information and got to work, amazing the people present with his determination and leadership skills. That moment he earned the respect and admiration from his new co-workers.

Kagome was called to the front to assist another ER doctor that same morning and she quickly got some serious practice points down, sewing up wounds and helping with some other small but normal nurse, with no training, stuff.

It was even a miracle alone that Kagome had gotten the job she now had, ever since she was little she had been told that girls didn't attend collages and universities, of course she always knew it meant girls like her - trained to become a trophy wife, not a woman with a career.

So when she was offered this job, she had with fierce determination buttered the old man so much he had finally agreed to her request. And right now, she could not complain - this whole healing stuff came natural for her and it felt good helping people.

However, her shift soon ended as she just got a job covering the first five hours of the morning in the ER section of the hospital, she was soon on her way home.

InuYasha found himself swamped in work and had little or no time to think about Kagome and all that had happened this morning. Saving four patients in one day seemed to be a record at this hospital for the people he worked with now worshiped him like a God.

Taking a shower, at the end of his shift in the locker room - InuYasha felt worn out in a good way. Working had always been one of his favorite things to do, keeping his hands and mind busy at the same go was always pricelessly rewarding.

Braiding his hair he quickly got into a pair of blue jeans and a white Tee, now picking up his cell as he exited the locker room on his way home.

Hitting the speed button to Sesshoumaru's house he waited for someone to pick up while taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

"Hello?" A small girls voice rang from the other side, making him smirk.

"Hey pup!"

"Daddy! You comin to pick me up?"

"Yup, I am on my way now, get ready okay? We're going out to eat."

His daughter got all excited at the last part, she loved going out to eat with her dad alone - it was nice and made her feel really special.

Taking a left turn at a stop light InuYasha turns on the radio, humming to the tune that played on his favorite radio station. His thoughts were on Kagome again as he drove toward his brothers house to pick up Sorano.

Glancing on his radio clock it displayed six pm, and his stomach growled at him for not feeding it anymore more then some crackers and java the whole day, since breakfast.

Only a few minutes from Sesshoumaru's grand villa he sees something that makes his blood freeze, five police cars surrounding an area where two cars had smashed into each other nose to nose - on the ground laid three bodies covered in bloody white sheets and an ambulance were present with medical staff lifting in survivors.

Quickly he decided to stop the car and ask if they needed his assistance, he was a doctor after all. Parking in the grass on the other side of the road, InuYasha runs across and toward the accident instantly greeted by a cop.

"Sir I will have to ask you to leave," the bulky man in a dark blue suite and badge told him, waving his large hands back and forth.

"I am a doctor," InuYasha explains holding up his ID tag for the man to see, but before the cop could say anything a woman's voice calls for him "InuYasha? Come and assist please!" It was that irritating ER nurse Arimi again, however in this situation InuYasha found himself liking her.

He quickly gets past the cop and walks up to the nurse that had helped him that very same morning, of course by now she knew about his reputation as it spread like wild fire through the hospital.

She quickly tells him of the situation and he gets to work, amazing even the ambulance staff with his cleaver mind and skillful fingers. Of course, the ambulance had limited supplies for making his job easy, but he did what he could and actually kept two people alive all the way til they reached the ER and could use more means to save them.

Finally after working effortlessly to help the two only survivors of the car crash, InuYasha sighs and sits down on a green hard bench. He hadn't forgotten Sorano as he had asked one of the nurses to call her up and tell her he would be late, but would contact her after he was done. This was the moment he entered the ER again, yelling out orders and also keeping his head cool and calm to handle the stressful situation.

Glancing down on the paper a nurse just handed him with the names of the survivors he reads, "Mr Hojo Yung and Miss Ayumi Haneko."

Frowning slightly at the name Hojo Jang, where had he heard that before? Shrugging it off he decides to call Sorano to apologize and promise to make it up to her this upcoming weekend.

Kagome reached the house she lived in, but couldn't call home, around noon. Walking inside she was greeted by a maid who took her coat and purse. It was silent otherwise and it made her frown, where was Hojo and Mr Yung?

Walking up the stairs to the office she knew usually contained the man who had taken her in all those years ago, she knocked on the door. When no answer came Kagome slowly cracked the object open, peering inside.

"Mr Yung?"

Still no answer, now Kagome inhaled as she looked around the room - it didn't appear to have been used that day for the man usually smoked his cigars and there were none in the claw footed ash trey, standing on the large deep red wooded desk.

Closing the door she headed down stairs, asking one of the maids if they knew where her fiancee were. "I don't know miss, no one told me anything miss." The young woman in a typical black dress and white apron answered, before padding down the hall disappearing into the kitchen.

"Oh well, I'll just wait then." Kagome said out loud as she made her way up to her bed room. Calling and talking to her brother might be a good idea, but wouldn't he be in class right now? Of course he would.. Well there went that plan.

Not having much time by herself Kagome found herself feeling kind of lonely, what was she supposed to be doing? Reading? Yeah, that sounded like another good idea, maybe some forbidden romance novel that Sango had borrowed her - which she now stored under her bed away from Mr Yung and Hojo's view.

Hours later...

Sitting in her room, Kagome almost jumps when a soft knock is heard by the door, "Come in," she spoke up after hiding the novel in her pillowcase.

"Miss?" It was one of the maids, her face was expressing a look of concern as she now walked into the room, bowing in respect.

"Yes?" Kagome gets out of the bed and walks toward the young lady holding a white cordless phone.

"Is for you miss, it's the hospital." The maid peeped before handing the phone over and walking out the way she came. 'What would the hospital want at this hour? They know I can't work extra, maybe there is some mistake.' Holding the receiver up to her ear Kagome answers, "Miss Higurashi here."

"Kagome? Oh dear Kami I didn't know you lived there." A female voice belonging to the nurse Yuka, who she had befriended this very same morning, spoke.

"Yuka? What is it?" Now suddenly very nervous of what she might be calling for as she sounded so surprised - meaning it wasn't for extra hours.

"Hojo Yung, is here in the hospital, he was in a car accident and we need you to come down here." The woman hurried through the information, now guessing that Kagome was his sister or even wife as she clearly had a connection to this man.

"I am on my way," Kagome breathed out before killing the call - Hojo in a car crash? Did he survive? Is he dying? A million questions rushed through her mind as she ran down the staircase snatching her purse and jacket from the waiting maid.

Sticking the key in the ignition she turned the car on and was soon on her way into the cold winter night...
