Chapter One – A Warning
It was a beautiful day, the sky a cloudless azure color, birds chirping their melodious tune far off in the distance, the noisy sounds of a waking business day. Yes, a normal day. Including the furiously loud sirens from the police cars.
Twenty year old, Higurashi Kagome let out a small sigh. Kagome was of average height, and had long raven hair that reached past her waist. Right now it was pulled back into a lose bun, her bangs strewn across her brow, slightly hiding her bright stormy-blue eyes. Observing the area around her, Kagome caught sight of the disturbance. A black Porsche convertible was speeding down the street followed by at least twenty police cars. People in other vehicles, honked their horn in surprise as the most-likely stolen car swerved past. Awful screeches were heard as cars slammed on their brakes to avoid contact.
Kagome watched the scene with boredom and an unnatural calmness. She adjusted her long black leather coat, before walking off as though nothing was happening.
Kagome wore fitted plain black jeans, with a spaghetti strap top, which was also black. Half of her arms and wrists were adorned with leather gloves without fingers and small spikes on each knuckle. Knee high boots with silver buckles lavished her feet, and completing her odd look, was the black-leathered coat that reached just above her ankles, latching up with a single silver catch over her hips.
The young women soon came to the under-ground subway and hurried down the steps. She inwardly groaned at the large crowd waiting to get on the commuter train. She quickly shoved her tokens to the man at the wicket booth, before making her way though the mass of people. Kagome looked around the platform, her eyes catching the usual bunch. Business men and women holding their briefcases, rocking slightly on their heels, anxious to get to work on time. Men in suits, chatting importantly on cell phones. Mother's keeping close watch to their children. And the shady group in darker corners, probably talking or selling something illegal.
Loud screeching brought her out of her observation of the crowd. Looking up Kagome saw the train slow to a stop. She shuffled along with the other men and women, finding a seat upon the quickly filling transport. Soon a small jerk announced the departure from the subway station.
Kagome worked at a quite popular newspaper building called 'Andromeda Everlasting'. The paper was just a cover up, though, as a considerably large secret government organization goes on unseen to the public eye. Kagome worked as one of the under-cover agents to the organization, which was called 'Shadow's Bane'. Basically, her job was to ether to spy on the requested target, gathering information or demobilize and hull the objective in. Today, Kagome was expecting to receive a new mission.
Kagome couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, as though so one was watching her. Her eyes surveyed the small compartment to find that some one indeed was watching her. He was tall even while sitting, Kagome could not tell too much on his appearance because of a long coat with a hood that shielded his face. The only other thing she could see was his irregular eyes that seemed to be glowing a red color. She quickly averted hers eyes before shivering slightly.
* * *
"Your late once again, Ryu." The old woman said slowly, giving Kagome a stern look.
"Sorry, Kaede-sama" Kagome replied back. "There was a lot of slow people at the station."
Kaede was an older woman around the age of fifty, she had long gray hair pulled back in a low and lose ponytail. She wore a blouse with gray pin-strip slacks, and was of average size. Kaede also a ghastly scar down the right side of her face, causing the woman to be blind in her right eye. She wore an eye-patch over it. Her good eye fixed it's self on Kagome as though probing her for the truth. She finally nodded and turned away, walking toward her desk.
The little office was spacious, a small desk sat in the middle, a large window right behind the desk, a filing cabinet to the right side and a bookcase on the left. On the opposite wall of the window was the door, a small fake plant and a garbage can. Dark curtains hung over the window making the room eerie with only a small decorative wall lamp for light.
Kaede motioned for Kagome to sit on one of the two small chairs by the desk as she sat down behind it and started to finger some files in a door.
"Ano... Kaede-sama," The younger woman started, uncomfortable with the silence.
Kaede's eye flickered to her before returning to her files. "I have new instruction for you Ryu," She started, Ryu was Kagome's coded name. "You must wait until Kiba arrives. He is to be your partner."
"Nani!" Kagome nearly screamed. "I refuse to work with that... that pervert!"
Kaede, unaffected by the girl's outburst, regarded her with a cool glare. "Ryu, you will accept this, it is your job-"
"Demo, I work ALONE." Kagome cut in, glowering at Kaede.
"He is one of our best, and your job requires assistance, besides I thought he was like a brother to you." Kaede replied in an infuriating calmness.
The young woman glared at Kaede, though she had a point. Miroku and herself were quite good friends, Kagome considered him as a brother. But still she worked alone, and thought it was an insult to partner her up. She was the best, the very best. One-of-a-kind, or so she has been told.
"Do you think me weak? Is that why you are partnering me to him?" Kagome asked her voice trembling with barely suppressed anger.
Kaede stood up. "Kagome, you will be accompanied by Miroku and that's final." The old woman said angrily, annoyance plastered on her once calm face. "If you choose to disobey you will be fired." Her voice now low and threatening.
Kagome slummed back against her seat, her eyes narrowed as she stared at the wall. Kaede stood for awhile longer before taking her seat calmly. Only a few moments later and the door opened to reveal a young man, the age of twenty-one.
He wore a purple muscle shirt that lightly hugged him showing off a well-toned stomach, a pair of black cargos that were baggy and a dark ash colored, stylish suit jacket. His right hand had it's usual odd dark purple glove on with a decorative rosary warped around it. He had a handsome face, violet eyes, charming smile and charcoal hair that was pulled into a tiny pony-tail at the base of his neck.
"Hey Kagome-chan, I didn't except to see you here, too" He said in a deep and rich voice.
"Kiba, sit down."
Miroku sat in the seat next to Kagome.
"What's up, Kaede-sama?" curiosity tinting his words.
"Kiba, you have be assigned to work with Ryu. Recent murders have come to our attention, and you two will be assigned to find and bring this man in." She replied, pulling out a thick pocket-folder. Kaede pulled out the first sheet. "His name, I believe, is Naraku."
Kagome was silent, 'Naraku, where have I heard that name?' She wondered to herself. 'Naraku....' Suddenly she shot to a standing position. "That's the bastard that killed my father." She shouted. 'That bastard!'
Miroku was surprised at this information. He wasn't the only one who was shocked about this. He stood, and grabbed a-hold of Kagome's shoulder's before she could do harm to the office, as she tends to get violent when angered.
"Is this true, what you say?" Kaede asked, "Why have you not spoken of this earlier?"
Kagome snorted, "You never asked why." She replied smartly.
The old woman gazed at her for a moment, before handing the envelope to Miroku.
"You are dismissed." Kaede said, before pushing them out the door.
Miroku stood there for a while before turning to Kagome. "You want a drink? I'll pay." He offered.
"Yeah... I think I'm going to need one."
* * *
"I can't believe it." Kagome said, for the tenth time.
"Ryu-chan, you're repeating yourself." Miroku informed her.
Kagome glared at him. "Way to state the obvious, Kiba. And stop calling me 'Ryu-chan'. It's Ryu."
"So, Ryu-chan, are you going to tell me about that little statement you said in Kaede-sama's office?" He pushed, ignoring her earlier request.
Kagome let out a small sigh, before glancing around the bar. It was a small place, a large counter across one of the walls, a door right beside the counter. All kinds of beverages stacked neatly behind. Small booths along the other walls, and tables cramped in the middle. Most of the patrons hung drunkenly over the bar, while others sat half hanging out of their chairs at the tables. They sat at a back corner booth, and came to this sloppy bar for privacy.
"You still with me, there Ryu-chan?"
Kagome stared at him dryly, "No," She said in return.
Miroku shrugged, smiling sheepishly at her. "Are you going to tell me?" He asked.
The young woman shrugged. "My father was murdered while I was in my sophomore year at high school. My mother, grandfather, and little brother were on a trip, so I was the one who stumbled upon the sight. I never really got over it, nightmares and stuff." Her voice trailed off at the last sentence.
Miroku reached out and gentle patted her arm. "Sorry," was the only thing he could think of to say.
She shook her head, gulping down the repaints of her drink, before standing. "I should go now," Kagome said. "Come to my place tomorrow at seven p.m., don't be late. We'll start then." With that said, the girl walked out of the bar.
* * *
Kagome sighed, as she made her way down the deserted street. Her mind wondering elsewhere. A sudden chill ran up her spine. Kagome shook her head to clear her thoughts, before looking around. 'Odd' She thought, carefully glancing at shadowed areas. Kagome lowered her hand until it was touching the tip of a hidden weapon. Another chill came, this time sending goose- bumps along her arms.
She spotted something or someone in the shadows but the figure seemed to disappear as soon as she tried to focus on it.
Continuing her trek forward while staring intently at the shadows, Kagome missed the man in front of her. That is, until she bumped into him.
"Kyaaa!" She screeched, jumping back.
Looking up, Kagome noticed that the man happened to be the very same as the one that was staring at her on the subway. She paused, staring, not knowing what to do.
The man took a step forward, then another until he was right in front of her, Kagome now realized that it wasn't a man but a woman. Fair pale skin, and odd glowing crimson eyes were the only things Kagome could see.
"Stay away from Naraku. Your life will be the cost if you are to pursue Naraku." She said, her voice soft yet cold at the same time.
Before Kagome could say another word the woman was gone.
