In present time Japan, inside of a secret military facility located deep underground. An unknown man sits behind a large conference table. He faces four mysterious figures and he turns whispering something to a person standing behind him in the shadows. The meeting then commences when all of his guests sit down. The tension in the room is unbearable and a male with a Russian accent speaks.
"Why did you summon us here Mr…what is your name?" he asked with an upset tone in his voice and nervously swallowed.
"You may address me by Chimera and I called you all here today because of a problem." Replied the shadowy figure.
Next to the Russian, a female stood up and interrupted him, "A Problem? You have more power and resources than anybody in the country. Why do you need us?" she bluntly asked.
With a slight tone of anger Chimera answered, "I need your unorthodox solutions to eliminate a, how can I put it? A nuisance, a mistake, a loose end. Is that clear enough for you?"
With the females question answered she reclined slightly in her chair and felt uneasy after asking him such a question. She looked around and watched as the Russian next to her wiped the sweat from his forehead. Across from her were two men who remained silent. The one on her right had a stern look on his face and listened intuitively to his host. The other man was strange, he was dressed in a N.B.C. outfit. His gasmask made his deep breathing loud as she examined the people around her. The female looked behind the man who called himself Chimera and attempted to catch a glimpse of his mysterious aid, but found Chimera speaking once more.
"Now, I'm willing to pay each of you the generous amount of One-hundred million dollars in gold. But, only if you'll accept the job." Chimera leaned forward a little and was amused with the surprise on his guests' faces.
"What is this job you speak of?" asked the Russian male.
Chimeras' eyes turned to the male Russian and responded, "I want one of you four to eliminate a young boy, his female companion and whoever is foolish enough to stop you from completing the task at hand. You may use whatever means necessary."
The room suddenly filled with talk and one of the men across from the female and the Russian stood up, his voice was almost mechanical, "I won't work with anyone here, I don't know anyone in this room and I know less about you. Couldn't you just send one of your subordinates to do the job?"
"What a wonderful idea!" replied Chimera in a sarcastic voice, "I lost four generals, dozens of soldiers, a few of my Agents, my elite Griffins, irreplaceable research and a rare scroll. I simply cannot have anymore of my people failing. They can expose everything that I've worked so hard to accomplish. Now that I've expressed my grievances, I don't think that you are all familiar with each other."
With an eerie silence falling over the four guests Chimera stood up from his chair, "Since real names are of no importance here I shall introduce you all to each other. This lovely female is the deadly Japanese assassin known as Shikyo, she has forty-nine kills under her belt. She enjoys shooting her victims behind the head and is a master of disguise." Chimera then walked behind Shikyo and placed his hand on her shoulder, "To her side is the notorious man known as The Russian, and he is former KGB and mercenary for hire. Across from Shikyo is the unsympathetic and heartless assassin known as Gregor, he has killed countless people with his explosives in order to eliminate one person. Gregor was arrested quite a number of times for beating men and women to death with his bare fists."
Shikyo and The Russian watched as the Chimera walked around the large desk and stopped behind Gregor. The Chimeras' eyes gleamed in the low light and he resumed, "This strange fellow here is Agent Orange, he is American and his government sent him to assist me with my problem. He specializes in nuclear, biological and chemical weaponry. What few people know is that he is responsible for the death of numerous undesirables." Chimera continued walking and sat back down in his chair.
With a cold long stare The Russian stood up, "You would put me in the room with Gregor? He killed my two brothers at an embassy to get to a Nigerian ambassador! I'll kill him!" shouted The Russian.
"Is this going to be a problem?" asked the Chimera while rubbing his temples. "Because if it is, I can easily resolve it."
The Russian sneered at Gregor and slammed his fist on the table, "What do you think!?"
"How unfortunate. I have no need for rivalry or petty squabbles, I'm sorry, I guess I can't use you then." Chimera quickly stood up and pointed a rather large gun at The Russian and fired two shots, hitting him in the face.
The room became silent once more as The Russian collapsed onto the floor. Shikyos' eyes widened in shock as the small chunks of flesh and skull fragments slowly slid down her cheek.
"What's wrong Shikyo, you act as if you've never seen a person die in front of you." Chuckled Chimera. "Now, if there aren't any more problems. Will you four, I mean three take the job?"
With the thought of being shot, the remaining three guests nodded immediately and were presented with the information that they would need. Within an hour they were told about the gateway to the past, what had occurred in the first military facility and finally Kagome and InuYasha.
With a bit of hesitation Gregor stood up and faced Chimera, "This InuYasha boy, he possibly can't be a demon. There is no such thing." Chimera grimaced at the question and reached into his black suit, pulling out a black object. Gregor panicked and trembled with each of Chimera's movements.
"Don't worry Gregor, its not a gun." And pointed the device at the wall in front of them. The wall suddenly opened up revealing a large collection of creatures. All, which were frozen in enormous glass cylinders, "Now, if there aren't any further questions? No? Good, My men will take you to the armory. Take what you need and follow them to the gateway." The doors to the conference room suddenly opened and nine soldiers in dark green fatigues entered, they promptly escorted Shikyo, Agent Orange and Gregor out.
