Alter Ego: And y'all better review it or else!

Inuyasha: Or else what? You're going to "gangster pose" them to death?

Alter Ego: .You know that's not a bad idea. I was gonna say that the bad ass Inuyasha would come get them but your idea is better.

Dancinginu: .

Inuyasha: Freak

Miroku: How about I just grope the non-reviewers?

Sango: All your problems can't be solved by groping someone hentai. And what happens if the non reviewers a guy? What are you going to do then!

Miroku: GAAH! Eww bad idea.

Shippou: O mighty keen one what shall you do to the non likers?

Dancinginu: z.z...z.z

Name: Nakajima Inuyasha

Age: 20

Origin: Japan

Race: Ningen

Great grandson of the founder of the Integrated Ninja Squad. Also a skilled fighter. Family includes older brother, Sesshomaru, and a younger cousin, Rin. Has been targeted by both assassins and youkai for unknown reasons.

"Higurashi seems to be the perfect one to protect him."

"Yes, but will she be able to resist his charms? He is quite the ladies man."

"She will be able to, I know it. She is still heartbroken from the death of Kazama Jin. Besides, it says here that he is dating the famous Miyori Kikyo. All will be fine." The young man stood up and left the room quietly.

"I hope your right, Akito." Sighed the young girl named Didori. She wore a big white bow to hold her sandy brown hair up and had dark green eyes. Kagome was a good friend of hers and she always wished that she would find someone to settle her down. Her cousin, Jin, seemed like he was the one until that fateful day.

"Poor Kagome," she sighed as she remembered the day that he had died. After years of fighting with his father it came down to the ultimate battle.

~ Flashback ~

"Please, Jin! Don't go! You could get killed!" Begged Kagome as tears filled her stormy gray eyes. She had a bad feeling as the sky turned dark and the thunder rumbled.

"Don't worry Kagome. I'll be fine." Jin reassured as he hugged her tightly. "I will come back, I promise. Didori!" The young brunette turned to her cousin, tear stains all down her cheek. "Take care of Kagome for me." Didori nodded and pulled Kagome away from him slowly. The two girls watched as Jin ran, unknowingly, to his death.

"No!" cried Kagome as she reached for Jin. It was too late though.

~ end flashback ~

"It was a trap." Mumbled Didori as she stared blankly at the screen with Kagome's picture on it. "Damn." She slammed her fist against the counter.

= A lonely Room =

She stared blankly at her reflection. At the corner of her mirror was a picture of Jin. Nothing, that's all he felt as she slowly brushed her hair. It was strange, before she was so happy. She would be smiling all the time.

"Especially when.no don't think of him again Kagome. He's gone, you know it! Move on, that's what he would want." She pulled her hair back into a high ponytail and covered her face and mouth with her black mask. All that showed were her gray eyes, pointy ears, and black ponytail. She wore a long sleeve tight shirt and black baggy pants. She place her hitai-ate around her head. It had a flame on it which was the symbol of the INS. She gently picked up the picture of Jin and placed it in her pocket as she looked around the room one last time. She did not have much to take with her so all of her belongings fit into one bag.

"It's time." said a rough voice from behind.

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Akito." She picked up her bag and turned to follow Akito to the main assembly room.

The young teens walked down the hall quietly, not knowing what to say to one another until Akito gathered up the strength to break the nerving silence.

"Kagome, have you been studying your mission all this time?" Akito asked. Kagome nodded yes as she kept looking forward. She and Akito had been friends since they were three, when they first started training to become ninja. Akito, Didori, and Kagome we best friends. Kagome's cousin's Shippou and Sango had called them the three musketeers. Kagome had become an elite ninja while the other two became journeymen (and women) for the INS. Their job was to assign the ninja's missions, train the newcomers, research, and only fight when it was necessary.

"Kagome, I want you to remember, even though you will be miles away from us, Didori and I will always be your best friends." Kagome stared at her companion in awe, "SO please, do me a favor. Let me see you smile just one last time. You haven't smiled in a year. I want to see you just the way you were before.well.you know."

"I'm sorry, Akito, as much as I want to I just can't do it." She hugged her friend tightly, saying her good-byes in silence. With that the two entered the assembly hall where Kagome would meet her fate.
