I, in no way have ownership of the characters in the InuYasha series. They are the creation and sole property of the talented and lovely Rumiko Takahashi. I, in no way make any profit from writing this fan-fiction.
Note! To understand this story you must first read "After the Noh Mask".
Chapter 1: The Agencies agenda
Two days after…Kagome sat at the small desk in her room and stared outside. The sun still above the house and the day still young, she wondered who Kenshi really was, and felt consumed with guilt. Her conscious had been bothering her after the mysterious agent died in feudal Japan. She wanted to thank him for helping retrieve one of the shikkon jewels, but knew she would never get the chance now. She stared at the small metal backpack that Kenshi once owned. It lay on the floor next to window, and she was curious to see what was inside. After all, InuYasha had gathered all of Kenshi's possessions off of the cave floor and gave it to her; it didn't belong in the feudal era.
Kagome stood up and walked over to the metal backpack, and she picked it off of the floor. She walked back to the small oak desk and lay the case down. She pressed two small buttons, and two simultaneous locks clicked. She pulled out everything in the case: a .45 semi-automatic, some flash/bang grenades, four clips of ammunition, a used canister of pepper-spray, broken night/thermal goggles, and finally a thin laptop. Kagome slowly opened the laptop and turned the device on. The screen slowly lit up and the main screen appeared; it asked for a password. She sat there for minutes trying to figure what Kenshi could've used as his password. Then, it struck her; it was the agents' alias "Kenshi". The security protocol disappeared and the screen opened hundreds of files. She looked at each as fast as she could scroll through them and found her name. It was the most recent one; Kagome opened the file and her eyes widened. She scrolled through pictures of her and InuYasha, on the roof of the construction site, after killing the Noh Mask. There was information on her mother, Sota, InuYasha, and even her.
She felt nervous as she clicked on her name, and then it appeared. Everything that she wasn't supposed to know; it was a collection of the past. She read the file and realized they knew everything, from beginning to end. She read from how she traveled to feudal Japan, how she shattered the shikkon jewel, and so on. Kagome read the file until she found a paragraph giving explicit details on the death of agent Kenshi, and noticed a side-note. It read: Agent Kenshi is to pursue the subject and retrieve the fabled shikkon jewel; once retrieved you must eliminate both the girl and her male companion. Kagome gasped in disbelief and closed the file; she felt her heart pounding as she closed the file. Kagome stopped for a minute and wondered what would of happened if Kenshi hadn't died. Would the agent have killed her and InuYasha? She took a deep breath and noticed a small icon blinking. She moved the cursor over to the icon and clicked on it, and a small screen popped up. It read: Re-establishing connection to H.Q. Kagome quickly reached for the power button, but it was too late. An instant message appeared on the monitor…
"We know its you Kagome, and we also know that our agent is dead. We will retrieve those shards" appeared on the small message screen. Kagome looked down at the keyboard unsure if she should respond, Kagome placed her hands over the keyboard and typed. "Who are you? And how do you know Kenshi is dead?" The screen remained blank for a minute and the unknown user replied. "We know everything, and we know that he was going to die. He entered the past with knowledge from this time and still failed. Now we have to send another agent to your home, and this one possesses a shard. We will retrieve the completed shikkon jewel, and once we have we will terminate you and your male friend.
With that said, Kagome knew that she had little time to act, and closed the laptop. Kagome looked at the Kenshi's items and threw them back into the metal case. She made her way down the stairs and ran into her mother; who was doing some house cleaning. Kagome explained to her mother that she had to go to the feudal period and warn InuYasha, not telling her mother of the danger. She quickly ran towards the backdoor and turned the doorknob. As she looked outside, she noticed the door to the Bone-eaters well open. It seems that somebody had already entered inside; Kagome held the metal case tightly and ran towards the well.
Once she entered, she looked around and noticed the white light glowing inside of the well. She hoped that whoever had traveled in hadn't gotten to far. She climbed over the lip of the well and jumped inside. Kagome ascended from the light and quickly climbed out. The nervous girl looked around the forest and hoped that no one was waiting for her. She felt uneasy as she made her way through the forest. Kagome approached the village and was greeted by a cheerful Shippo. She kneeled down slightly and asked Shippo where InuYasha was. The small fox noticed the concerned look on Kagomes face.
"What's the matter Kagome? Is something wrong?" asked Shippo with great concern.
"I think we might be in danger. Take me to InuYasha." Pleaded Kagome.
Shippo grabbed Kagome by the hand and escorted her to the section of the village where he had last seen InuYasha. The two found him resting quietly in a tree holding tetsusaiga. Kagome approached the tree and called his name.
"InuYasha! Get up!" Kagome shouted. InuYasha opened his eyes and looked down at the girl.
"You're here early. I thought that I wouldn't see you for another two days." He sneered. "Let me sleep, my face still itches from that shit, that Kenshi sprayed me with." InuYasha cursed.
"Please InuYasha it's important!" cried Kagome as she looked around the village.
"In an hour" InuYasha answered.
Kagome felt that she couldn't be ignored any longer and shouted "SIT BOY!" the beads around InuYasha's neck pulsed with light. InuYasha felt the beads pull him down; he fell off of the tree and smashed face first onto the ground.
"Chikushoume!" cursed InuYasha. "What the hell you do that for?" Just as he stood up off of the ground something cut through the air. Many splinters and small pieces of the tree flew into the air as a bullet narrowly missed him. InuYasha looked around and saw nobody.
"Its an agent…like Kenshi, they're here for the shards that we've collected." Kagome shouted. Kagome grabbed Shippo and ran behind the tree. InuYasha moved forward and remembered that Kenshi was able to turn invisible. Whoever just shot at them wasn't visible, InuYasha reached for tetsusaiga. As his hand reached for the sword; he felt something moving in front of him. With his hand now firmly on tetsusaiga's handle he moved cautiously. Kagome peeked around the tree to get a better look of what was going on. She noticed a strange ripple in the air; it stood behind InuYasha.
"Behind you!" shouted Kagome. InuYasha turned and felt something metallic strike him in the face. The fierce blow made him release tetsusaiga, and fall to the ground. He fell on his back and quickly tried to get back up; when he heard a gritty voice speak to him.
"Stay down! You freak!" InuYasha felt another fierce blow, only this time to the back of his head. InuYasha felt his head jerk forward; he blacked out and hit the ground. He lay there on his side and Kagome felt helpless as InuYasha was being beaten. She remembered the small metal case on her back and quickly opened the backpack. Kagome desperately searched inside the metallic case and grasped a metal item. She slowly pulled out the black firearm and reached back into the case for a new clip. She pushed the clip into the bottom of the weapon and walked out from behind the tree. The invisible soldier was still beating on a bloody InuYasha. She raised the gun and aimed it blindly towards the ripple, and fired. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that the gun didn't fire; she had forgotten to pull the slide back. After all, she had never used a gun before. She pulled the slide back and the hammer moved into place; she raised the gun again and pulled the trigger. She blindly shot five bullets and managed to hit the invisible man three times. A mist of blood shot into the air as the bullets exited his body.
InuYasha slowly opened his eyes and noticed blood mysteriously floating next to him. He struggled a bit to stand up and noticed the ripple on the ground. His invisible foe lay on the ground breathing deeply and motionless. InuYasha stood over the male and picked him off of the ground. His enemy was covered with blood and InuYasha now knew where he was. The man regained consciousness and noticed InuYasha holding him in the air. He attempted to shake free of InuYasha's grip, but found that the boy had a tight grasp around his neck. The man reached to his wrist and deactivated the cloaking device.
"You may have beaten me, but I didn't come alone." Smirked the dying man. InuYasha tightened his grip on the man's throat, and looked into his eyes. "How many came with you?" InuYasha demanded. The man spit out a large amount of blood at InuYasha's face and smiled.
"…Five…and its unfortunate for you…two of them aren't human…" the man struggled to complete his sentence. Blood ran down his chest, and onto InuYasha's arm. He looked down at InuYasha and died with a smile on his face. InuYasha bit his lip and threw the man towards the tree; the man's body hit the tree like a rag doll. Kagome and Shippo both came out from behind the tree and looked at the man lying on the ground. Kagome then turned her attention to a hurt InuYasha. She and Shippo both ran over to him as he fell to his knees, InuYasha grabbed his ribs and felt that a few of them were broken. Kagome and Shippo both helped InuYasha up and the three made their way back to the village.

That concludes chapter 1. I know that Kagome wouldn't use a weapon like a gun, but it's my story. So, if you don't like it you can go suck an egg! Anyways, the next chapter will get even better. InuYasha fights two human agents and one powerful agent infused with hanshin (demi-god) blood. If you got any comments or your own little review feel free to write to me.
