Thanks to everyone for waiting. I just noticed an error in my last chapter, but I'm going to use it for my advantage. The error is when Ayame said that she married at nineteen, when I originally put in the beginning of the story at twenty two, but married at nineteen works better.
Anyway back to the story. It takes place in the same day as the last chapter.
Ayame walked out of the car with Koga, he was going out for lunch and took her with him to one of his favorite local restaurants. It was small, and the farthest from fancy, but it had a joyful atmosphere and the smells that were coming from the kitchen were mouthwatering. Both of them sat in a booth, and soon the waiter came and took their orders. After that, conversations started.
"Is work really tough right now?" Ayame asked sipping some of her water.
"Well their isn't much criminal movement, but that could change any minute. Though as Kagome might have probably told you, the government is reopening old unsolved cases. One confidential copy of each case was distributed equally to all police departments in Japan; the one we are mainly focusing on is the case of the disappearance of four sacred scrolls."
"Oh yes, she did mention that. But she said she was having a little trouble researching, apparently that subject isn't taught in a college course."
"From what I know, those scrolls never made it to the history books, they were extremely confidential. They were passed on through the ages, during the feudal era they were stolen from the tribes, without them the tribes were losing protection, and eventually they became scarce .Their is even a theory that only the tribe leaders knew of the existence of scrolls."
"Well then. I never expected this case to be that ancient."
"Actually somewhere during the Meiji period, they were found by some farmers in their lands, they were kept by the government until the 1980's, but they were once again robbed. So this case is really not THAT old."
"Kagome should have seriously talked to you instead of me" Ayame said.
"Well that's not even half of it, all I know comes from Ma, and she knows this subject like the back of her hand"
"Great, could you get me to her house when were done?" she asked putting on her famous pleading pout.
"Sure"
With Kagome and Inuyasha:
For the past twenty minutes Kagome hasn't even dared to look at Inuyasha. She continued working on the files, in hope that the slightest sentence might have sort of connection with their case. Inuyasha had left once she started crying, back when she was with Ayame, he didn't take crying girls very well. All the concentration and effort on her work when down the drain, as she noticed him walk into the room.
He made sighed, which got her attention, but didn't necessarily look back at him.
"Are you gonna let me explain or are you gonna behave like this for the rest of the day?"
He asked leaning on the wall, as far away from her as possible. She continued what she was doing, without a word.
"Then I'll do the talking. Koga told me to ask a few questions to a woman names
Sara Kishimoto, she is a descendant of the people who first found the scrolls during the Meiji she could tell me was the identity of the people who robbed them , they were known as the thunder brothers. That's all I got" he finished saying .
Once Kagome heard "the thunder brothers", her fingers went through some files she had already checked.
She started reading a few lines from it, while she thought "oh sweet sweet payback"
As she stood up never letting her eyes leave the paper, she dramatically put the paper down, pretending to now be aware of his presence.
"Oh, Inuyasha, I didn't know you were there, did you say something?"
Inuyasha's jaw dropped anime style,
"Is she fucking playing me?" he thought angrily"
With Bankotsu :
Phone conversation
"Have you guys found my wife yet?" Bankotsu asked irritated.
"No sir, but were in Kyoto right now, and there are others in Osaka."
"Are you sure you checked well in the other places?"
"Yes sir"
"Find her. Alive or knocked out, I don't care as long as she still has a pulse."
End of conversation
Back to Ayame and Koga:
Koga took Ayame to his parent's house, right after lunch. They said their goodbyes, and she was happily greeted by Ma.
"Well what bring you here today sweety?" Ma said.
"I need to learn more about the scrolls"
"Oh I see, come in then"
Ayame explained that she mostly knew the basics about them, and she just needed to know about them.
"How did these scrolls come to be?"
"In the beginning of the feudal era , their was a demon named Naraku , he was after all the tribes .With that problem , they hired the services of a witch to make a protection source for all of them , the power of each source came from the ashes of tribe ancestors . All that power was sealed in four scrolls, one for each tribe."
"Why did they rob them?"
"As I said, these were used for protection, but if their powers are unleashed they will go to whoever summoned them , that kind of power is beyond this world , just imagine what would happen if it got to the wrong hands."
Ayame could only nod.
To change the subject Ma looked closely at her, she was wearing jeans and a big sweatshirt, which looked ten times bigger that what would actually fit her.
"Honey, are you sure that fits you well? It looks like you just ate a beach ball"
"This? Koga and I were having lunch together and I spilled some soda on my t-shirt so he let me borrow his sweatshirt."
"Don't you have anything else you can change into?"
"Back at the apartment I have two more t shirts and two pairs of jeans"
Ma look horrified.
"You poor thing, I'll take you shopping right now"
"But my money is also in the apartment"
"Don't worry about that, I'll pay , I don't mind at all . Plus I had a small fight yesterday with my husband so I'll blow some steam maxing out his credit card."
Ayame laughed, but felt sorry for Pa, she didn't even want to imagine how he would react when he sees the bill.
Ma took Ayame to Kyoto's biggest mall. Ayame hadn't been shopping for so long, it felt so refreshing. They went from every designer store to the next. She went to Ma's favorite designer and looked through their clothes. They got a bathing suit, pants, dress shirts, blouses, skirts, sunglasses, accessories and what not. Ayame argued a bit, saying that she really didn't need all that stuff, but Ma insisted. She really did love everything they got, but still she considered it was a bit too much. Ayame grabbed one of the sunglasses she had purchased and put them on, they were big and dark brown, you couldn't even tell the bright green color of here eyes. Both Ma and Ayame walked out of the stores with the sales people treating them like the queens of England. Ayame sat down at a bench while Ma got some coffee, she started rummaging through her bags (which were a lot), while she did that one of the accessories she had bought flew out of the bag.
"Oh no!!"
She ran to get it , when she spotted it ,another hand picked it up .
"I'm sorry, is this yours?" he said handing it to her.
It was a man in work like black tux, more like the kind that Bankotsu's men wore. That thought made her stiff, but she quickly grabbed the lost item.
"Thank you" she said in a serious tone, she fastened her sunglasses and went to get her other bags.
"Could he be one of Bankotsu's men? I hope he didn't recognize me."She said in a low voice to herself.
"That scent, could it be her? But this Ayame supposedly has blonde hair, and I didn't quite catch the color of her eyes, I better be on the look out for her." The man in the black tux said to himself.
Ok this chapter was really more so to explain what the scrolls are and why are they going through all that trouble to find them. Next chapter Sango will appear, but as what? Anyway please please please review!!!!!!!
