A/N-I got this idea right after watching Cowboy Bebop. Pretty weird huh? I thought so…Alright, in this story, Inu-Yasha, an American bounty hunter, gets an assignment to bring down Kouga, the leader of the American underworld. In order to do this, he needs to find him first and so he tries to find out where he is from someone who'd know: Kagome Higurashi, Kouga's girlfriend. Gomen nasai to all you reviewers of When Did Things Get Complicated?…When I updated I said this story would be up but right after I updated that fic, it wouldn't let me upload anything so I couldn't put this up. You guys were probably going insane trying to find it ^_^;;; My bad…It's up now though ^_^

Disclaimer-Haha! I own the Inu-Yasha characters! Yes! Woo hoo! *Wakes up from her dream* Oh tartar sauce…

Not According to Plan

Chapter I

Inuyasha jerked awake at the sound of a telephone ringing by his ear. He drowsily fumbled around to pick up the phone.

"Yeah?" he mumbled groggily. He listened to the voice on the end of the line talk and then groaned, burying his face into the pillow. "Fine, fine…" he mumbled, his voice muffled, and then hung up. "I need a vacation…" he murmured as he lazily rolled out of bed.

Inuyasha strolled through the glass double doors and headed straight for the elevator. Once inside the elevator, he pushed the twelfth floor button over and over again impatiently. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and glanced around the elevator. His eyes scanned the walls until they landed on a tiny circular dark spot on the wall. He smirked and then dug around in his pockets, pulling out a stick of gum. He stuck it in his mouth and chewed it for a few seconds before pulling it out and sticking it on top of the dark circular spot.

Stepping out of the elevator when the doors slid open upon reaching the twelfth floor, he walked down the hall. He stopped in front of a door and reached into a pocket, pulling out a card and then slid the card through the little slot beside the door, causing a laser to protrude from the wall, moving forward slowly, scanning his retina. When the laser was satisfied that he was, indeed, Inuyasha, the door slid open and he stepped inside.

"Inuyasha, come in and take a seat," a slightly balding, portly man with a close-cropped, brown beard said, twirling around in his black leather swivel chair to face him. "Why are you wearing sunglasses? You're inside."

Inuyasha smirked and shrugged, taking a seat in one of the black leather chairs in front of his desk and lacing his fingers behind his head. "They make me look cool, Jack."

Jack picked up a remote and pointed it towards a TV screen on the opposite wall and pushed a button, turning the screen on. Inuyasha turned towards the TV. The screen was receiving pictures from the surveillance camera in the lobby of the building. Jack pushed another button and the screen changed to show a large, dark blob in the center of the screen.

Inuyasha smirked, turning to face Jack again. "You need to hide your surveillance cameras better, Jack. Any sort of criminal or assassin coulda done that and then where would you be? I'll tell you where you'd be: six feet under in a nice little box."

Jack sighed, pushing another button to turn the TV off. He pressed a button on the intercom. "Mike, take the gum off of camera 2B."

"Right away sir," Mike answered.

"Call me brilliant but I don't think you called me down here to talk about chewing gum on the surveillance cameras or my sunglasses," Inuyasha prompted, wanting Jack to get right to the point.

"I have an assignment for you," Jack announced in a business-like manner, pulling a manila folder out of his desk drawer.

"So what else is new?" Inuyasha asked cockily, pulling off his sunglasses and hooking them onto the collar of his shirt.

"Your self-confidence is going to get you killed one day," Jack warned.

"It hasn't yet," Inuyasha said, grinning. "So what's the assignment?"

"Do you know who Kouga Wolfe is?" Jack asked.

"No, should I?" Inuyasha asked nonchalantly, picking a pen off Jack's desk and twirling it absently between his fingers.

"He's a leader of the American underworld. He's one of the most wanted men in America. No one's ever been able to catch him," Jack said, eyeing Inuyasha seriously.

"Feh, a walk in the park," Inuyasha scoffed, tossing the pen from one hand to the other.

"This isn't going to be easy, Inuyasha. No one knows his whereabouts. It's up to you to bring him down, preferably alive," Jack told him, looking at him sternly while handing him the folder.

Inuyasha put the pen back on his desk and took the folder, opening it and flipping through the few papers that were in there. He snorted, pulling out a photograph and showing it to Jack. "Some photographic work…" It was a picture of the back of a man's head.

"We were lucky to even get that picture," Jack told him. "He's not easy to find and photograph."

Inuyasha stuck the picture back into the folder and pulled out a different one. "She's hot," he commented, holding up the picture questioningly.

"That's Kouga's girlfriend, Kagome Higurashi. If anyone would know his whereabouts, she would. I suggest you look for her and either get her to tell you or follow her."

"Feh, a walk in the park," Inuyasha said again, picking up one of those stress-relief balls from Jack's desk and tossing it from hand to hand. "I just gotta sleep with her, he'll get pissed off and come after me with a few of his cronies and then," Inuyasha said, making a gun shape with his hand, "bam, no more American underworld leader."

Jack sighed, shaking his head. "Fine, whatever. We just need Kouga stopped. And we've decided that you're going to be the one to do it. As much as it hurts my teeth to say it, you're one of our best bounty hunters and I think that if anyone can do it, you can. Don't let me down."

"I won't, I won't," Inuyasha assured him, lightly tossing the ball into the air and catching it again. "I haven't yet."

"I suggest starting in New York. That was where Kagome was last seen and, chances are, Kouga is with her," Jack told him, looking over a piece of paper on his desk. Then he handed Inuyasha a passport and a plane ticket. "You start right away. Go home and pack. Your plane takes off in six hours."

Inuyasha took the passport and the ticket from him after setting the ball back on his desk. He tucked them into the manila folder and then stood. Walking out of the office, he murmured, "I seriously need a vacation…" as he put his sunglasses back on and headed towards the elevator.

Jack sighed, rubbing his temples. "He's going to be the death of me if he doesn't get himself killed first."
