OMG sorry it took me so long to update, I actually completely forgot about this story. Well this is my longest chapter yet and hopefully I will get the next one done faster!! Hehe enjoy!
Gun shots. The sound of each bullet bounded off of the concrete walls and rang loud in his ears. He gripped the cold metal in his palm, grasping for the comfort it sent through him. His security. Raising the firearm into his line of vision, he aimed for the neck of the silhouette situated in the distance. Waiting until the alignment was just right, he pulled the trigger at the perfect moment. The shot rang clear as a bell through his mind as he watched the bullet tear through the air. It hit its target dead on, and he lowered his weapon with a satisfied smirk on his face. Inuyasha Takahashi put the gun down on the counter in front of him and looked at the paper target with pride. Right in the throat, as well as two shots to the head and another to the heart. He couldn't miss. He always bragged that he had the best shot in the organization; one of his paper targets had been framed in the training wing.
Deciding that he had had enough practice for the day, Inuyasha put the safety on his gun before putting it away in its holster. He exited the firing range with his head held high, and added 30 points to the scoreboard on the outside wall. He had had the highest score for over a month now and it looked like no one would be catching up anytime soon.
Inuyasha was a member of a secret rebellion, one that was formed to stop the rulings of Naraku and his army. The rebellion had been so far successful in keeping their bases of operations safe and concealed from Naraku's many spies, but he had managed to take many of their best officers captive. None of them had been relocated and if they ever where, chances are they wouldn't be alive. Naraku had been responsible for the destruction of Inuyasha's entire family and home. The thought of revenge was what drove him, every day he was closer to destroying the man who took everything from him.
The halls of the rebellions base of operations where never empty, someone was always rushing through to bring the latest news of Narakus moves to officers. Today though, they had been strangely quite. Naraku hadn't made a move in days, and the members where all becoming restless at the thought of what he could be planning. Inuyasha, however, hadn't let the silence bother him. It gave him time to think. He walked down the hallway with his long silver hair flowing out behind him, his sharp amber gaze searching for the form of his friend and fellow officer Miroku. He turned a corner that would lead him deeper into the building and directly to Miroku's office at the end of the hall. When he reached the door, Inuyasha stopped before smirking and lifting his leg to kick the door open.
"Wholy shit!" Miroku screamed, nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of the office door slamming open. He whipped his chair around from behind his oak desk, and sighed in relief when he spotted his friend in the doorway. "Inuyasha, you moron, don't you ever knock, you almost gave me a heart attack!" He choked out, gasping for breath. Miroku was a tall man with dark hair pulled back behind his neck in a small ponytail. He had large dark brown eyes that always held a perverted gleam, his reputation as a lecher was well known by all of the women in the rebellion.
"Got 30 points today in practice," Inuyasha said smugly, leaning against the frame of the doorway, " I believe that's a 70 point lead now"
Miroku glared at his friend. "Ya well you have a lot more time to practice," he said, coughing slightly and shuffling papers around his desk. "Oh and by the way," he looked up smiling widely, " Sesshomaru is looking for you, he said something about a special assignment"
Inuyasha looked taken back for a split second, but he quickly regained his composure. "Did he now, well it looks like he has finally come around to realize just how lucky he is to have me here" he stated with a prideful look.
Miroku simply stared at him for a few seconds before bursting into fits of laughter. Inuyasha scowled at his friend, muttering a few choice words under his breath before storming out of the room, slamming the door behind him, muffling the sound of Miroku's laughter.
He made
his way slowly through the building, pondering different ways to kill
Miroku that would make it look like an accident. A scenario involving
an open window was playing through his mind when he reached the main
office of Sesshomaru, the commanding officer of their branch of the
rebellion. Inuyasha paused before knocking lightly on the large door.
"Enter", came the muffled reply. Inuyasha grasped the
handle and opened the door.
The space inside was large and in
perfect condition. There wasn't a speck of dust of dirt to be seen
anywhere, and every scrap of paper work was tucked away neatly in the
proper drawer of the many filing cabinets that lined the walls. By
the farthest wall from the door, a large mahogany desk sat, perfectly
organized just as the rest of the office. Behind the desk seated in a
large cushioned chair, was Sesshomaru. He was tall, with long silver
hair and piercing amber eyes. He was dressed in an expensive business
suit and he was scanning through an open file on his desk. Without
looking up, Sesshomaru motioned for Inuyasha to take a seat. Inuyasha
chose the seat farthest away and began examining the room.
Sesshomaru
closed the file and looked up at Inuyasha, his eyes held no emotion
whatsoever as he began to speak. "It has come to my attention
that you have the most accurate shot in this instetution, is this
correct?" his eyes were fixed on Inuyasha and he sat stock still
in his chair.
Inuyasha met Sesshomaru's gaze and held it. "Ya,
I've got the best shot, and I think it's about time you get me in the
field so I can make use of it."
Sesshomaru's lips rose into
what could almost be described as a smile, he picked up the file and
tossed it to Inuyasha. He caught it and opened to the first page.
Starring back at him was a young woman with long raven hair and large
brown doe eyes. Inuyasha was taken back for a second, was this his
assignment? "What the hell do you want me to do babysit this
chick?"
"This chick" Sesshomaru said, his voice hard and full of authority, is Officer Kagome Higurashi. She is of higher rank and greater importance than you, and it is your mission to find her."
Sesshomaru rose from his chair with unusual grace and moved towards a large map pinned on the wall.
"Her
last none location was here" he pointed to a weapons compound
operated by Narraku. "Her division was found out and attacked,
there were few survivors. Higurashi's body was not found, nor was she
among the survivors. We believe she has been taken captive and is
being held here" his finger moved an area under Narakus control,
"a warehouse being used as a place to keep prisoners of
war."
Sesshomaru turned to face inuyasha, who had been
scanning through the file. "We need you to go there and get her
back, she is of great importance to the rebellion. Any questions?"
he asked, returning to his seat.
"Do I get backup?" Inuyasha asked, closing the file and standing from his chair.
"We will send two officers of your choice, but they must receive my approval. You leave tomorrow morning. You are dismissed" Sesshomaru said, leaving no room for any more conversation. Nodding his head, Inuyasha turned and exited the office.
