I just got home from a sleepover (so I got zero sleep) and I'm not feeling too good. But I'm still gonna update, damn it!

Side note, I just reread (add like 50 re's) the last volume of Inuyasha… although I'm pissed they never kissed ONCE in the entire series (what the fuck?) – the final volume still makes me all teary eyed. It's the last book of my favorite manga series ever, so I can't help it. And I never will.


== CHAPTER EIGHT ==

TRAITOR IN DEMON'S CLOTHING (Part 2)

"This is fucked up! One mole and we're all trapped in here?" Bankotsu complains.

"Yeah, we could be slaying right now," Yura grumbles.

Kagome shakes her head. "What even happened? How do we have a mole?"

"No idea," Sango shrugs.

"The demons have been outsmarting us," Kikyo says.

She comes over to stand before Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Bankotsu and Yura. Kagome feels her face begin to burn, but she doesn't say anything. She tries to get control of emotions before Kikyo senses her turmoil.

"They know our moves; they know when we're coming. We're losing slayers and monks on the simplest hunts. Sesshomaru has reason to believe that one of our own is tapping into our systems and giving information away to the demons."

Kagome looks at Kikyo's shoulder as she speaks, "And it's someone in this room?"

Kikyo nods. "It was hacked into again this morning. Sesshomaru had all the departments shut down as soon as it happened again."

"He's pissed," Miroku says, nodding towards their brooding boss.

"He is," Kikyo says.

"He's not really going to kill the traitor?" Kagome asks.

"If it's a human then they're still protected by modern laws," Kikyo says. "He might find a way around it, though… knowing Sesshomaru."

"And if the traitor is demon…" Sango begins.

Sango glances around. She takes a step closer to the group. "When Sesshomaru started this business, over two hundred years ago, he had all human slayers. Demons weren't allowed to work – they were only slain. When laws became stricter and Sesshomaru couldn't just kill his employees off anymore he began hiring demons as well."

Yura, the only demon present, paled.

"Don't worry," Sango says, putting her hand on Yura's back. "If you didn't do anything you'll be fine."

"La – but hearing this makes me fearful of making any mistakes," Yura laughs softly.

Kagome sighs softly. "What's being done to find the hacker?"

"They're trying to trace the hacker's signal but to his or her computer. Once they find the computer they'll…" Kikyo smiles gently. "…Do what they need to."

Kagome looks away. All of them were killers, in some way or another. They faced death every day when they went demon hunting. But this was more serious. This was her own allies, ready to turn against her at a moment's notice. She didn't feel like just standing around.

"Whoever has done this is a fool," Bankotsu says.

"Indeed," Miroku mutters.

Kagome glances outside the doorway. There was a bathroom. If she could just go to the bathroom, she could slip out of here. All she had to do was say she needed the bathroom, make an awkward reference to girl stuff, and walk off.

Inuyasha walks over, making her freeze.

"How much longer?" he demands, shoving a black folder in Kagome's face. She snatches it away from him, her face flushed. Inuyasha doesn't notice. "We have a hunt."

"Hopefully not much longer," Kikyo says.

"Wonder who it is," Miroku says, casting a glance around the room. "It would be anyone of us."

Kagome looks around the room too, at all the demon slayers and powerful monks and priestesses. One of them was the culprit, betraying mankind and good demons everywhere. And once they were caught they weren't going down without a fight. In a room full of other slayers and monks the traitor wouldn't escape alive.

But who could the traitor manage to injury or kill before he or she is taken down?

"Excuse me," Kagome says.

"Read the file," Inuyasha snaps.

She looks at him with her eye brows up, surprised at his insistence. He was normally this rude but right now he was just being obnoxious. Because he was so obnoxious she didn't want to read the file.

"I really need to go to the bathroom," Kagome says.

"Read the damn file," Inuyasha says.

Kagome ignores him, faking a sheepish expression. "Girl stuff."

"Ooh…" Miroku and Bankotsu says at the same time, turning around and walking away.

Kagome puts the folder down on a desk and starts walking towards the exit. Inuyasha snatches the folder up and follows her, tapping her shoulder with it. Kagome grits her teeth.

"Just read the damn folder," he says.

"Go… away… Inuyasha-san," she growls.

So close to the doorway! Once she reaches it she would be that much closer to finding out who the culprit is. Before she walks out of the room two guards step into the room from outside, blocking her path. Kagome comes to a halt.

"Sesshomaru-sama says no one leaves this room," one of the guards says. The other one just nods.

"I really need to use the bathroom," Kagome says.

"Nope."

"Please?"

"Kagome," Inuyasha interrupts. "Just read the file!"

"ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN FILE!" Kagome screams, whirling around. Inuyasha leaps back, shocked by the outburst. She whirls around to face the guards, both suddenly scared. "I HAVE SOME GIRL STUFF TO TAKE CARE OF. GET OUT OF MY WAY OR YOU'LL FEEL THE WRATH OF A WOMAN DURING HER PERIOD."

All the women in the office space begin clapping, cheering Kagome on. The guards step aside, letting her walk past them. She doesn't give a second glance back at Inuyasha, she just calmly walks to the bathroom. She'd never live that down. On the plus side no one will ever mess with her again when she's really on her period.

As soon as the door closes behind her Kagome rushes over to the middle stall, the one right underneath the vent. She climbs onto the toilet, pushing the vent cover out of her way, exposing a tunnel that was big enough for her to climb through. She was good she had a chance to read the building's blue prints.

She grabs the edges of the vent and to pull herself inside. Then someone kicks the stall door open, breaking the lock and making the door slam loudly against the stall wall.

Kagome screams, turning around and pressing herself against the wall. Inuyasha stands at the entrance of the stall, glaring at her, the black folder in his hands.

"I guess you didn't need to read my plan to know I had one," Inuyasha says.

Kagome frowns. "You planned on slipping out of the office room with me to find out who the traitor is?"

He holds the folder out to her. "Yep. And you're not on your period, you bitch."

She snatches the folder away. "How the hell would you know that?" Inuyasha opens his mouth. "Never mind, I don't want to know. Just… come on, let's go."

Kagome pulls herself into the vent. Inuyasha leaps inside and closes the vent behind them, incasing them in total darkness. In the total darkness, all alone, with Inuyasha. Kagome was glad he couldn't see her expression.

==MEANWHILE

Rin pulls her hood up after another glance at her map. In her baggy hoodie and jeans she was able to hide her feminine figure, making it easier to move through the dark alleyway filled with homeless people and gang members. She moves like a man and draws little attention.

She comes to stand before a large gray doorway. She looks down at her map one more time before stuffing it into her pocket. She kicks off her pants, revealing her knee length skin tight black shorts, and she takes off her hoodie to reveal her form fitting black hoodie with dark purple tribe designs.

They matched the purple tribal designs on her face.

The doors open slowly and a young man with similar facial tattoos steps out of the building. He looks human, all except for his eyes. They were such a light blue color they glowed in the dark.

"What?" he says.

"I'm a demon," Rin says. "And I've gone rogue."

The demon sniffs at her briefly. "What type of demon?"

"Fire," she says.

He nods. "C'mon."

She glances over her shoulder before marching into the building, the door shutting firmly behind her, trapping her inside. She allows herself a single moment to panic. One second to let all of her self-doubt and fear to surface. Then she blinks and it's gone.

This is for you, Sesshomaru-sama, she thinks, and she follows the demon deeper into the darkness.
