Last time:
"So Inuyasha how's life?"
Chapter 2: The mission
"…"
"Oh mean to ask how Kikyo and life is?"
"Well going smooth."
"Well I'll see you later."
She turned to leave when, "Kagome?"
"Yes."
"Where are you going?"
"To the grocery store."
"Can I Come?"
"Well, ok."
They settled themselves in their respective vehicles. In this case their individual cars. They parked outside the plaza and went inside together.
"So, Inuyasha why'd you wanted to come?"
He reached into his pocket and brought out a list. (You know like a considerate husband doing groceries. Well did I tell you Kikyo and Inuyasha are already married!)
"Oh!"
They went to lanes after lanes and then 'RING' 'RING'
"Oh it's my phone." Kagome said.
"Oh! Inu it's Mr. B."
She attended the phone.
"Yes. Mm… Ok."
"What happened?" (Inuyasha this time.)
"Tomorrow at…" She whispered something in his ears.
"Be ready and reach there on time."
"Well that means I'm going to be paired with a girl."
"Yes the very same girl who had beaten you up in the finals."
They did their shopping and returned home. Well Inuyasha to his beloved wife and Kagome to her apartment. (Yes due to her job she couldn't risk living with her family.)
She reached her apartment.
"Maybe I should call them."
She picked up the phone.
"Mom?"
"Kagome how are you? It's been a year since you called."
"Mom you know what I do. And the shrine is three hours away. It's nearly impossible. And I won't get weekends off as well due to the traveling."
"It would be better if you just quit. You can always serve as a priestess. Souta misses you too."
"You know that I can't just quit. We won't be able to live like this if I don't work. Souta's school, Ji-chan's health, yours as well. I have to. There's just no other way. Please understand this."
"Please try to visit us at least sometime. We miss you."
"Mom, I gotta sleep. I've to wake up early tomorrow. Say hi from me to them. Bye."
She put the receiver down.
"Damn job and damn clients."
(Next day.)
"Up Kagome." A very sleepy girl said to herself.
She to a shower got dressed for her work.
(You all must be thinking what work, right. Well the answer's in the next few lines. So, read on.)
"I should probably take the bike." With that she picked up her pistols and the bike keys. She rode to the address provided by Mr. B.
"Now all I have to do is wait. Only five minutes to go and he is still not here."
After fifteen minutes.
"And they say I'm not punctual. Well the mansion's cool and the sound of the gunshots is so alluring. Wait a minute, gunshots."
She drove to the next gate. While getting down she took out her little devil (gun).
"I should have checked this gate as well."
She muttered to herself and ran towards the person they- in this case she was to protect since Inuyasha was no where to be seen.
The person to be protected was tired of this silly fighting. "I could have killed them within a minute but father always has to interrupt. 'Son, you don't want others to know our real identity so no fighting.'" As he was talking to himself he felt someone behind him.
"Can't you watch your back as well?"
"So they send a girl to protect me."
"I'm not a mere girl."
"Feisty are we?"
"If you are done blabbing I guess we must get out of this mess. Where is Inuyasha when we need him?"
"How do you know him?"
"No time for questions. Now run towards the black bike parked outside the gate. I guess you know how to?" He nodded. "Good, start it and wait for me."
She looked for the safer path and said, "Run." He did as he was told. He ran through the lawn occasionally looking back for her and he was surprised.
"The girl is tough." He got on the bike and started it.
"Now get behind I'll be driving." The voice behind him said.
"Now do it before both of us are dead." He followed her not that he liked it but he had to.
