Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and I never will. I only own my story so no stealing.
A/N: I know I'm way overdue on this story. Between finishing college, work, applying and now attending graduate school, several family tragedies, and working on my novel, I kind of put this story to the side. I rewrote the first two chapters because I wasn't really satisfied and I'm working on the rest. I'll update when I can but I'm still going to school, working, writing a novel, and working on at least three other fanfics (which I hope you will check out as well). I decided to continue this one since it was still getting favorites three years later and I wanted to reward my loyal viewers (thank you by the way!). Anyway, enjoy!
Kagome Higurashi stood in front of the large and intimidating FBI building. She watched nervously as men and women scurried in and out and immediately began to worry that maybe she shouldn't have worn this light blue blouse and kept her hair down. She took a deep breath and forced her frantic heart to slow some. This was her dream and she had been working so hard to finally get here. She wasn't going to let her nerves stop her now.
She walked into the building and breathed a sigh of relief when she recognized the figure talking to the secretary. Inu Taisho was the director of the FBI and the father of Kagome's new supervisor. He had offered to introduce her to her team, not only because his two sons were a part of that team but also because Kagome was only 25 and incredibly young to be joining the prestigious Behavioral Analysis Unit. The current BAU was filled with gifted but relatively young agents but Kagome would be the youngest who was ever accepted.
As Kagome approached the desk she called out to the director. "Director Taisho!"
Inu looked up from his conversation and turned around with a smile, his brilliant golden-brown eyes sparkling at her. "Ms. Higurashi! Welcome!" He leaned over the desk and grabbed her badge. "Here's your badge and if you'll follow me, I'll take you to your new office."
Kagome clipped her badge onto one of her belt loops and followed Inu to the elevator. The elevator came quickly and as they got on Kagome realized that she was only minutes away from officially starting her dream job. As they walked onto the elevator, Kagome glanced sideways at the director. He was in his late-fifties but you would never be able to tell. His face lacked any wrinkles and his short silver hair wasn't from age. Kagome had heard that the director and his sons all shared the same unusual hair and eye colorings.
The elevator stopped on the BAU's floor and Inu led Kagome to her new Unit Chief's office. Kagome was painfully aware of the stares that she was receiving and began to unconsciously pull on her blouse. Inu knocked on the door and after hearing a gruff "Come in", pushed the door open. Kagome had to keep herself from gaping. Sitting at the desk was the most handsome man that she had ever seen. A younger version of his father, Sesshomaru Taisho had the same straight silver hair that was cut at his shoulders, and gorgeous golden-brown eyes that looked like molten gold in the light. Kagome also knew that he would be young. As one of the best agents in the FBI, Sesshomaru was only 30 when he had been hired two years ago to head up the BAU.
Sesshomaru looked up from his work and eyed the young woman standing next to his father. She was definitely a rookie the way she was nervously looking around the office but he trusted his father's judgment. Her midnight black hair was wavy and fell to the small of her back and her eyes were a brilliant shade of sapphire. "This is my new agent?" Sesshomaru asked Inu, although he already knew the answer.
Inu nodded. "This is Kagome Higurashi. Kagome, this is your new Unit Chief, Sesshomaru Taisho," he introduced.
Kagome took this as her cue and stepped forward with her hand outstretched. "Please, call me Kagome. It's nice to meet you Mr. Taisho," she said politely.
Sesshomaru stood up and shook her hand. "Call me Sesshomaru. Let me introduce you to the rest of the team." He walked around his desk and led her out of the office. He was about to call the team over but found that it was unnecessary, as his team had already gathered in front of the door, curious about the newcomer.
"Hey Sess, who's the chick?" the white-haired male asked. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed but Kagome blushed. She assumed that this was the other Taisho brother.
"This is our newest agent, Kagome Higurashi," Sesshomaru said. "Kagome, this is the rest of the team. The loud mouth is my brother, Inuyasha Taisho. The others are Kouga Ookami, Sango Hiraikotsu, Miroku Bousan, our media liaison Kikyo Miko, and our technical analyst Shippo Kitsune." As he introduced each member Sesshomaru pointed them out so that Kagome could remember their face.
Inuyasha was smirking up at them. He looked very similar to his father and brother but not identical. His hair was coarse and white and stopped mid-neck and his eyes were amber. Kouga was attractive and had a very warm smile. His black hair was short and straight while spiked forward some and his eyes were a slightly darker shade of blue than Kagome's. Sango was a pretty woman with a confident and welcoming look. Her straight black hair was pulled into a ponytail and she had warm brown eyes. Miroku also looked welcoming enough. He also had brown eyes and short brown hair. Kikyo was a gorgeous woman with straight black hair that was about as long as Kagome's and brown eyes. Shippo looked to be even younger than Kagome. He has coarse red hair that was cut short and bright green eyes.
Kagome walked down the stairs to the bullpen to talk with her new teammates. As soon as she stepped off of the bottom step, she felt a hand caress her bottom. She automatically turned around and smacked the offender, leaving a red handprint on Miroku's cheek. Kagome gasped and was about to apologize when the rest of the team started laughing. "That's what you get Miroku", Sango said. "You and your wandering hand." She offered a hand to Kagome. "Welcome to the team. It'll be nice to have another woman around."
Kagome smiled and gratefully accepted her hand. "Thanks. It's great to be here."
Sesshomaru watched as his newest agent interacted with the rest of the team. "Director, a word." Inu followed Sesshomaru into his office. "I understand the need for a new agent, but a rookie? Isn't she a little young for the BAU? Not that I don't trust your judgment."
Inu grinned and nodded. "She is a little young," Inu admitted, "but she'll be a great asset to the team. She's a genius in her own right and one hell of a profiler."
Sesshomaru frowned slightly but didn't say anything else. He still had some doubts but as he watched his team welcome the young woman, he felt strangely at ease about the whole situation. At least it seemed that Kagome would fit in well.
