Kagome zipped up her jacket, before rushing down the stairs, grabbing her satchel off the hook. She thought about just leaving without saying goodbye, but her conscience ate ate her.
"Bye Ricky!" She yelled quickly moving towards the door. There was a bang from upstairs followed by a sharp curse.
"Wait a minute, K." Ricky hollered bounded down the stairs two at a time, his shaggy mousy hair covering his eyes. He pushed his hair out of his face.
"Your coming back right? I tell you I'll follow you anywhere."
Kagome sighed. I should have known he would be difficult.
"We talked about this Ricky, me and my mom we came to take a break from all the heyday of life, but my stepfather and my mom have patched things up so I gotta go. If I come back then I come back, if I don't then I don't, you have to understand that. Can you understand that?"
Ricky's jaw and fist clenching in frustration. He ambled forward pulling her close. He felt Kagome tense up before relaxing in his arms.
Her arms wrapped around his waist. Kagome felt like a child compared to him.
"I really don't want you to go," he murmured softly.
"I know, just tell me you understand."
He only met K a month ago. She came out of nowhere and beat the shit out of three thugs who were beating the crap out of him. She brought him to an institution for troubled teens to help him through his issues. Made him smile, laugh, breath in fresh air. Made his whole world light up in an instant.
She was six inches short of his shoulders, standing at just five foot, with long black hair in pigtails. 'Not exactly the most intimidating girl around, but boy could she throw a punch.'
"Fine."
He let her go abruptly turning away from her. Kagome touched him softly, came around.
'I'll probably here about this later from the Institution.' Kagome standing on her tippy toes, pressing her lips to his.
Ricky's arms automatically came up wrapping around her waist, holding her tenderly.
Kagome drew back a minute later, before walking around him and out the door.
Ricky flinched hearing the door open and close seconds later. Turning quickly he saw Kagome's silhouette from the window disappearing into the dark of the night.
His eyes closed briefly. 'Please be safe, don't forget me either.'
"I never even got her real name or number," he muttered softly to himself. "Or tell her I loved her."
Outside of the house across the street Kagome snapped a picture of Ricky looking out the window. "Goodbye Rick Jones."

Downtown Scarsdale, Arizona
Kagome blew her bangs out of her face, restraining from yawning at how long she had been waiting.
"Here you go Miss Wilson," a stocky man in a boring honey colored suit that looked to tight on the obese man, came into the private room. Sitting across from her. "Delivered just yesterday."
Kagome extended her hand as the nameless clerk held out a PDA to her and a thick package.
"Was there any message given," Kagome looked at the PDA tapping it thoughtfully, looking up when the man was silent.
He looked uncomfortable. He sputtered before speaking. "He..ugh said that if you made him proud he would uhh reward you...later." His face was now a beet red.
Kagome however felt no such embarrassment at the comment. Instead she grimaced, rising from her seat. Placing the PDA into her briefcase.
Being rewarded by him was not at all pleasurable quite the opposite. Which meant if she failed, she would be punished. Not that she ever failed, it was just his way of reminding her who was in charge.
"Thank you." Kagome said tersely.
"Of course have a nice day Miss Wilson."
Kagome left without another word, heading out of the bank. As her body molded into the crowd walking along the sidewalk, the illusion over her faded away.
"Hm, hm. La la la." Kagome hummed softly to herself.
Red hair was replaced with ebony locks. Her freckles disappeared and her green eyes lightened turning to an eery cerulean almost as if she was blind. Reaching up she began pulling bobby pins out of her hair. Her hair fell cascading down her back in thick waves. Running a hand through it once to make sure no pins were left in.
Kagome's briefcase turned into a beat up old black satchel with a pink star on it. Her business suit turning into a simple pair of black skinny jeans and a black tank-top with a pink half-jacket over it.
"Ah much better." She stretched a little, sighing in relief. She hated having to do full body illusions, it was hard to maintain on short notice and for long periods at a time.
He only sent her an i-message forty minutes ago to go to the bank to pick up her next assignment.
Humming to herself she went to run some last minute errands.
When it hit three o'clock she made her way to a familiar family-owned restaurant. Noting that very few customers were there. Mostly because everyone in this part of the city was most likely on their way home by now from work.
"Welcome to Bill & Marge's Barbecue Shack." A friendly waiter called from across the room.
Kagome headed straight towards her usual spot, a high-rise table in the back corner of the restaurant. Setting down her satchel, she pulled out the PDA and package she had received earlier.
A few minutes later there was a jingle at the front of the restaurant followed by a man sitting across from her.
"Hello Agent Stevens."
Pulling out a slim folder Kagome handed it over to the man. His hands briefly touched her and she restrained from wrenching her hand away.
"Good to see you again Ka-go-me."
Agent Stevens was one of the agents who used to be a field assignments. She had seen the reports on the captives he brought in. Some that he had been required to observe he had falsely accused of being a threat and killed them; "in the name of defense" he reported.
"Rick Jones, from Scarsdale, Arizona. Quite a troubled teen, but no threat in the immediate future in my opinion."
"Well that is good to know, I expect that everything is covered in your report and not just that brief observation, because we could have done that ourselves," he asked tapping the folder she had given him expectantly.
She nodded slightly. "Of course."
Kagome took this time to study her nails, not wanting to be here with the man. She could feel his eyes looking her over and it gave her the skeevies. She shuddered at the thought of him being her partner on another mission.
Agent Stevens eyes narrowed at the action, stashing away the folder in his jacket.
"Kagome as you know your freedom is based off of how you excel during your missions, best you keep that in mind."
"Of course I know better than shirk off on my missions."
"Good, because this mission is of the utmost importance to the Institution, so don't get to caught up emotionally."
One brow rose questioningly. "Caught up, emotionally? Me? Please, I don't get caught up...ever."
Stevens lips creased into a frown. "Yes, well this last mission says otherwise. Don't forget we keep intel on you as well Kagome."
Kagome chuckled lightly to herself. "Please that was just part of my mission, didn't want the boy following after me. Trust me little troubled boys like Jones don't get me all hot and bothered."
"Good. After all I would hate for you to have to go back to that place, all because you got caught up with silly girl emotions" He fixed his tie, before standing up. "Well then the package has everything you need inside as per usual. The PDA will tell you your next mission."
He was gone before she could look up, not that she would. Just happy that he was gone.
Ever since Agatha took her away from the Institution she had trained hard to bring out her powers. Spent the last four years doing the Institution's dirty work. She couldn't go back to that hellish place and it would be even worse if Agent Stevens were her jailer.
Kagome sighed, using her pocket knife to slit open the top of the package. Rolling her eyes at the contents, she closed it stuffing it back into her satchel.
'Standard stuff credit card, passport, and other stuff the Institution saw the need to supply her with.' Eyeing the destination on her boarding ticket for later tonight. Bayville, New York.
Pulling out the PDA, she pressed her thumb to the screen, watching it light up and unlock. Two pictures immediately came up both Caucasian females; one with brown and white hair; very goth-looking, and the other with black and red cropped hair. There was an ear pieces attached to the PDA, slipping it on a computerized voice filled her right ear.
"Next Mission: Your are to observe and keep tabs on Wanda Maximoff and Anna-Marie aka "Rogue." It has been required that for your next mission you are to attend Bayville High. Your set of clothes will be at the address given."
Sighing Kagome slipped the PDA and ear piece back into her satchel. Muttering about how she dislike whoever came up with the idea of her attending school. 'Probably that damn old man.'
"K is everything alright." A voice broke through her reverie.
Kagome head turned looking at a middle-aged man. Flashing him a smile to ease his worried expression.
"Hey Bill! Oh yeah everythings just peachy."
"Oh okay, but are you sure. You looked to be having a pretty serious conversation with that man earlier."
"Actually there is something going on. You see I'm taking your advice and I'm going back to school."
Bill face lit up. "Oh my well I'm glad to hear it! I mean if your going back to school maybe you can get stubborn boy Ricky to get back on the right track too."
Kagome's reassuring smiled faltered.
Bill's brows bunched together sensing something was wrong. "What is it kiddo? What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything"
"I'm sorry Bill, but I won't be staying in Arizona—My stepfather—the man you just saw me having a serious conversation with. Well he's making me go back home with him. My ma and him have patched things up, so were leaving later today. He just left to give me an hour to say goodbye to everyone."
"Oh my, does Rick know?" Bill asked concerned about the boy. He knew the past few weeks Rick had developed a crush on Kay and he would hate to see Ricky go back to his old ways.
"Yes I told him yesterday. He's a little down, but he's strong I know he'll survive even if I'm gone. Buuutt just in case could you continue to look after him while I'm gone."
Bill sighed before nodding, "Of course kiddo," ruffling Kagome's hair slightly, a gesture she had gotten used to in the past three weeks. "Just as long as you come back soon and with a diploma ya hear."
Kagome chuckled. "I'll try." She said weakly, as Bill left to get Marge his wife.
Marge burst into tears when she heard the news, blubbering about, before giving Kagome a book with her favorite recipes.
"Been plannin' on surprising you for your birthday and well—I oh oh," Marge broke down. Bill pulled his wife into his arms. He motioned for Kagome to get going.
"Bye." She whispered softly.
When she got outside, a tinted car was parked out front with the rent-a-car logo on the side. She rolled her eyes, getting in the backseat closing the door, before climbing into the front seat.
No doubt, Linda; the Asian woman who posed as her mother was long gone. She threw her satchel into the passenger seat. The keys were already in the ignition, ready to go. She looked back at the restaurant one last time before speeding off towards the airport.
Review, tell me what you think!
