Deadly Engagement

Kagome was almost finished setting up her rifle when it was time for the briefing. "All team members, the mission will begin in 10 minutes. Sango, confirm the targets location when he arrives, make sure it is the real one and not a decoy".

"Roger Captain" Sango replied into the mouthpiece.

"Shippo, one confirmation is given disable all security cameras and replace footage with the recorded videos of empty locations. Make sure all the communication between the guards is neutralised until target has been eliminated".

"Got it Momma" Shippo replied, still calling her his mother even in the most deadly situations.

"Miroku, once the cameras have been disabled and guards have lost communication you need to tranquilize all guards with your darts before the target enters the building, which is 30 seconds. You only get one chance at this, once the guards are unconscious use a sutra to paralyse the target until I get the shot in. Once death is confirmed we get out of there since the cops will be there as soon as the shot is fired"

"Right Chief, they will never see it coming" he said and you could practically fell the smile on his face when he spoke into the mouthpiece.

"If anything goes wrong and I am unable to take the shot I want Miroku to use another sutra and incinerate the target leaving nothing, and I mean nothing behind" Kagome said before getting the agreement for Miroku on the other feed. "Alright, let's move out the target will be arriving in 1 minute" Kagome said "ROGER" all the other members replied before going to their specified locations.

Kagome sat there on the roof looking through the scope watching as the limo drove up to the entrance of the building where the drop was taking place. 'There you are' she thought as the door opened revealing the target. "Captain, it is the real target" Sango said, "Alright, execute mission now" Kagome said and she could feel her team's aura's move to their locations. Kagome still looked through the scope when she saw that the cameras had been changed and the guards were busy checking their earpieces and talkers since they weren't working. 'Perfect, well done Shippo'. All the guards collapsed on the floor from Miroku's poison but were still breathing like told.

The target was panicking when he saw that all of his guards were unconscious on the floor around him. "Alright I'm going to take the shot" she said getting the confirmation from the rest of the team. 'Got you, you piece of shit' she looked though the scope positioning it so it was aimed at the middle of the forehead. She was about to pull the trigger when another aura came running up behind her. 'SHIT' she turned around quickly pulling out one of her knives blocking the katana the intruder swung down at her. The sound of metal was heard through the earpiece in Kagome's ear. "Miroku I need you to deal with the target, it seems I have an uninvited guest with me here" Kagome said getting confirmation that the mission was still in progress.

~o~O~o~

Kagome looked up at the intruder once he moved back from his strike. "Who are you?" she asked getting her footing pulling out a gun in one hand and holding her knife in the other. "I should be asking you the same question" he said in a voice so smooth it sounded like velvet, but in this situation it wasn't really important. He was dressed in all black, a long trench coat reaching just above his feet, a black leather face mask covering his face, black shirt and trousers with hard sole shoes. His hair was hidden under his trench coat and was wearing black leather gloves.

Kagome dressed in all black as well, wedge boots reaching up to below the knee, fingerless leather gloves but the sleeves reach the elbow, tight black pants and a black tank top. A mask covering her face tied with an elastic string around her neck and the back of her head so it wouldn't fall off. Her hair tied back in a high ponytail with no hair out of place. Anyone who would look up from the street to the building roof would look as if it were only two shadows that were there one minute and gone the next not attracting any attention.

"What do you want?" Kagome asked as she pointed her gun up at him. "You think that you can hit me with a bullet?" he said sarcastically. Kagome smiled inside as she pulled the trigger releasing a purple light heading towards the man releasing a purifying reiki at him. Quickly jumping back he landed 10 behind where he was before. "You're a miko, that makes things a little more complicated" he said as began walking towards her.

They began running towards each other as her knife and his sword hit together creating a metal sting. "WHO ARE YOU?" Kagome yelled again as she pulled out her katana and hit it with his again. "Like I said that is my question" he replied striking down once again and Kagome blocked it the same. After another minute of swords clashing they stepped back from each other. "The police will be here in 2 minutes so let's finish this" Kagome said lifting up her sword and began running towards him. The blocked each other's swords, in the final blow Kagome was able to cut through the strap holding the man's mask up. At the same time he cut both the straps tying hers on her face.

The wind blew and both masks fell off showing their faces to each other. "So that's what you look like under that thing" Kagome said looking at the man's face, she saw that on both his cheeks there were two maroon stripes and a dark purple crescent moon on his forehead. On the right side of his face was a cut from her blade that cut the mask and apparently his face. "It seems that you don't match on both sides now youkai" she said holding her position. He lifted up his hand to his face seeing that there was blood on his fingers and his eyes bled crimson. "You dare cut me" he said striking down this time hitting the elastic band holding up her hair letting it flow through the wind.

They looked at each other for a moment before raising their swords again. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. The sound echoed through the streets as the alarm from the police cars came driving past. "Kagome you need to get out of there" Sango's voice was heard through the earpiece. Kagome lifted up her hand putting the piece back in place before sheathing her sword. "My team is finished with what we meant to do tonight" she said walking away without looking back at him. "You almost ruined our mission so if I see you again I will kill you and since you're a youkai I wouldn't get blamed for anything" she said putting her rifle back into its case.

He was still standing there in shock, he didn't like being talked to like this. "Where do you think you're going?" he said walking up to her and grabbed Kagome by the wrist pulling her up. "Release me now" she said when he looked down he noticed her knife at his stomach. "I will be the one to kill you the next time we meet, you better hope in never see you again miko" he said removing his hand from her and put his sword back into its sheathe. "Right back at you youkai" she said leaving.

~o~O~o~

"Kagome, what happened?" Sango asked once Kagome made it back to the base. It was an extra floor that Kagome had installed without anyone's knowledge at the very bottom floor at Higurashi Shipping Incorporated, her father's business which handled all shipping goods in Japan, between the different countries as well as large business around the world. No one knew about this floor besides 'Black Night' and her team.

"I ran into an uninvited guest" Kagome said as she walked over to one of the walls pressing the button and the wall lifted up showing a shelf full of holders for weapons. She placed her katana and knives on there before closing it again. "Who would that be?" Miroku asked getting a cup of coffee for both him and Sango then took a seat beside her. "I don't know, but when we were fighting he cut my mask off, I did the same to him and we both saw each other's faces" Kagome said sitting down and resting head backwards relaxing on the back of the sofa pillow.

"That's bad, if he saw your face he may know who you are" Sango said taking a sip of her coffee. "No, we didn't recognise each other" Kagome replied as she leaned forward. "Shippo, we should be heading back to the house, dad said that he wants to see me tomorrow for something important" Kagome said to the young kit who was working on the computer sending the reports of the mission back to HQ. "Alright Momma" he said turning off his laptop and putting it under his arm walking out with Kagome. "See you guys tomorrow afternoon" Kagome said waving to Sango and Miroku before leaving with Shippo to head home. When they reached home Kagome took Shippo to bed and tucked him in before he almost instantly fell asleep.

~o~O~o~

Sesshomaru came home for his encounter on the roof with that woman. "I can't believe that she was able to cut me on the cheek" he said taking a towel and wiping of the blood. "I wonder why it's not healing, wait, looks closer into the wound, there is reiki in here, dammit this won't heal quickly" he said taking the towel and dabbing it in some water to wipe the blood a little more.

He walked back inside when he saw his father sitting on the couch in the lounge waiting for him. "Who did that to your face?" Toga asked when Sesshomaru took a seat on the couch next to him. "I don't want to talk about it" Sesshomaru said taking out his tablet (The electronic device) and looked though his emails. "What do you want?" he asked his father who gave him a big smile. "What are you up to now father?" he asked knowing that the smile his father just gave never meant something good or that he was being sneaky.

"I need you to come with me tomorrow morning, I want to introduce you to someone" Sesshomaru was about to object "This is not up for discussion you will be ready or I will get Inuyasha to wake you up in any way he wants to" Toga said when Sesshomaru's face went blank before Toga left. "I really don't like being a part of your little games you know" he muttered before turning off his tablet and made his way for a shower and then to get ready for bed.

This is my first fanfiction so please don't be so harsh on me. I would like to make sure that people would actually like the story before I put up another chapter. Please tell me what you think or if there are any stories similar to this so I should take it down. I really don't want to be accused of plagiarism since I haven't read many of the other stories on this website, so please tell me if it is like someone else's story.

If you read this chapter please review it for me, it doesn't need to be an essay long just tell me if you think this story is worth continuing.

For the next chapter I was going to have Kagome and Sesshomaru meet again with their parents, so they were on the roof the night before and now they are engaged for the advantage for both of their father's companies' profits. So, it would be like I almost killed you last night but now today we are engaged.
