I honestly forgot how much fun this is. I thought writting these would be like pulling teeth but it's just pouring out of me. One story at a time, true. But that's something right? :D

"...and that is the safety." Sango pointed to the gun in Kagome's hand. It was small, girlie Sango called it, but it fit perfectly in Kagome's hands.

They, Kagome, Sango, and Inuyasha, were at the gunrange Miroku ran to make money. They were trying to teach Kagome to shoot.

They all had earplugs in, except Inuyasha who had ear plugs and noise deadening, specially designed ear covers. He was also standing about ten feet away from the girls but he insisted on being there.

"So, I flip it this way to turn the safety on?" Kagome said flipping it.

"Right." Sango nodded in approval. "You're picking this up well."

"I am very smart." Kagome beamed. "But, uh...I should warn you. I'm very bad at...aiming."

"You don't need to be a sniper." Sango laughed. "Just hit the paper." She pointed to the end of the range where a white paper with a human etched it black was hung.

"Alright?"

"Ready." Kagome held the gun up as she was instructed.

"Shoot off six rounds." Sango said. "Go."

BANG!

"OW!" Kagome let go out it and shook her hand. "Was it supposed to do that?"

"Yes. It's called kickback." Sango nodded patiently as Inuyasha winced from the bang.

"It hurt." Kagome groaned as she looked up. "Did I hit it?"

"Just shoot five more then we'll bring it up to check." Sango said.

Five more 'bang's, four more 'ow's, later, Sango hit the button that summoned the paper. "Not bad for your first time." she said encouragingly.

"I stunk on ice." Kagome pointed as she flipped the safety on and put the thing down.

Inuyasha approached and stopped behind them just as the paper stopped in front.

"Uh, well..." Sango tried to correct her but she was looking at the paper and...

"Not one, huh?" Kagome sighed.

"I think it hit the edge, here." Inuyasha said pointing to a tear on one side.

"No, I made that when I hung it up." Kagome pouted.

"Don't worry." Sango laughed sheepishly. "It's a skill, it has to be honed and practiced. No one's good at it right out the gate."

"Were you?" Kagome asked.

"I'm the exception." Sango said as she sent the undamaged paper back. "Try again, aim hard this time."

"I'm a thinker, not a shooter." Kagome grumbled as she aimed the gun again and Inuyasha backed off.

"You need to learn self defense." Sango said not for the first time. "You never know when you'll need it."

Kagome mumbled something as she re-aimed.

"What was that?" Sango asked.

"I said, that's why I have Inuyasha." she said before taking the shot.

"Ah, look at them. Marvelous." Kikyo admired the small army of hybrids before her. Dogs, snakes, rats, cats, fish, birds; so many types each willing and happy to lay down their lives for her.

"Aren't they?" Kagome asked, looking at her clipboard. "I'll admit, I had some trouble with the wings on number 17, but when I finally got them right it worked like magic."

"Oh, wow!" Yura whistled appreciatively as she looked over a particularly handsome mole hybrid. "What's this one do?"

"Excevation, mostly." Kagome shrugged. "I figured you never know when you'll need to dig."

"It's perfect, Kagome." Kikyo beamed at her.

"Incredible." Kagura nodded. "Much better than anything Naraku tried. I should know."

They all laughed appreciatively at the joke.

"Yes." Kikyo hugged Kagome. "I'm so glad I have you. What do I need men for when I have girls like you?"

"Aw, Kiki do you mean it?" Yura asked.

"Of course!" Kikyo laughed. "Naraku's worthlessness is astounding."

"Kikyo." Kanna walked into the room. "I just got off the phone with the prime minister of England. He agreed to give control of their country over to us if we just spare the people."

"Really?" Yura giggled. "I love it when things go this smoothly."

"How many countries is that now?" Kagome asked, scratching her head. "I lost track somewhere around Italy."

"Well, let me think..." Kagura crossed her arms in thought. "We have Japan, every country in Africa. How many countries were in Africa before?"

"Who cares!" Yura threw up her hands in celebration. "It's all one big country now!"

"Then of course Italy, Germany-"

"Wait, when did we get Germany?" Kagome asked.

"Last week, remember?" Yura laughed. "They fought back and we destroyed nearly half their country before they finally fell."

"You should remember, we lost half the wolf force in that fight." Kikyo reminded her.

"Is that why I got the request for more wolves?" Kagome blinked in surprise. "I didn't see it until I got back from training the ocean team."

"Hey, Kiki?" Yura inturrupted her. "Is it okay if I stay with Kagome tonight?"

"What's wrong with Kagura?" Kikyo asked.

"Tch." Kagura smirked. "She thinks I'm too rough."

"It's not that I don't like it, Kag." Yura pouted. "But sometimes, I like being carressed too."

"Sorry, Yura." Kikyo shook her head. "I plan on teaching Kagome a thing or two about 'rough' tonight."

"Really?" Kagome laughed in excitement.

"Kagy gets all the fun." Yura crossed her arms.

"How about you two join us tonight?" Kikyo asked. "The more the merrier. And with England down we can rest a bit before focusing on Russia."

"Yay!" Yura jumped in happiness.

"And thanks to Kagome, I've got a pair of properly working lungs so I can enjoy it." Kagura nodded. "Unlike that worthless Naraku, Kagome is so incredible."

"Aw, Kagura. Go on." Kagome blushed from the compliment.

"Yeah, that Naraku couldn't think himself out of a wet paper bag." Yura laughed.

"I should know." Kagura repeated and they all laughed.

"Yeah, he's so stupid."

"Worthless."

"Pitiful."

"Weak."

"Lame."

"Secondary."

Naraku cried out at he shot up in bed, his breathing hard and sweating.

"Damn." he cursed as he curled his hands into fists. His room was dark, he was naked, and it was so damn cold!

Naraku's hatred of women was growing by the day. Worthless whores. Stupid sluts. Cuniving Cunts. Oh, he had a million of them.

And these damn women were slowly destroying his universe.

He held his fists in front of him and squeezed, picturing Kikyo's neck there.

Miroku thought about it carefully. "So, let me get this straight. This is like a two weeks notice, right?"

"Two weeks notice?" Inuyasha's brow furrowed as he thought it over. "Explain."

"It's the notice you give a boss two weeks before quiting." Miroku said, long used to Inuyasha stopping a conversation to have something explained to him.

"Oh, then yes. If it takes two weeks to take down Kikyo and company, then this is my two weeks notice." Inuyasha nodded.

"You're just going to get into a boat and drive off with your pretty scientist?" he clearified.

"Yes." Inuyasha nodded again.

"Well, more power to you." Miroku sat back in his, for lack of a better word, office.

What they did, what Miroku's group did was so hush hush that the group didn't even have a name. They were government but so underground there were mob families with less secrets. They raised their own money, they found their own 'employees', and they based themselves where ever they felt safe.

For the last two and a half years, they had taken over an abondoned building that the government had condemed but never demolished. Miroku's office was a room with no windows, one scared desk, a chair and a half (the half was missing a leg and the back and had to be sat on a certain way), and a single lamp that let off only enough light so it wasn't exactly dark.

The walls had peeling/faded wallpaper from sometime in the fifties, the wood of the floor was crumbling and if one walked on it without thick soled shoes they risked tetnus.

"Where is the pretty little scientist anyway?" Miroku looked around as if expecting her to pop out from behind nowhere as the room was pretty much empty.

"Kagome." Inuyasha corrected. "And she's sleeping in the basement right now. That shooting lesson took it out of her." She had bruises on her fingers, delicate fingers more at home on the knob of a miscroscope than a barrel of a gun. She had tried to hide them But Inuyasha's eyes were quicker than her hands.

"Is she going to stay there?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha shook his head. The basement was a place for Miroku's people to stay once injured or needing to lay low, very low. As such, it was considered common courtesy to not stay there unless you had to.

"I'm taking her to my place." he shrugged carelessly but inside he was excited. His Kagome got to see his place. A place he had bought with money he earned with his own hands. Granted, it was a crappy apartment in the worst part of the bad part of town, but it was home.

Plus, people knew better than to mess with the fucker in 6C. The first time he had been robbed, he tracked the theives by scent and left them sure they had just barely escaped death. It only took a few more times before word spread that the crazy fucker in 6C didn't kid around. No one bothered him and Myoga anymore.

"Alright." Miroku nodded. "You can track down Kikyo's gang if you want. She has a bounty on her head anyway. As does Naraku and a few other people in her orginazation."

Bounty was the term they used for the unofficial reward the government posted on people. They gave Miroku the list of who was wanted and for how much and his people picked and hunted.

"How much." Inuyasha asked.

"Enough to buy a good sized boat." Miroku pulled what looked like a wallet from his pocket. He opened it and, instead of money and credit card clots, there were multiple 'pages' of tiny slots only big enough to hold a tiny memory chip.

"Here." he passed one over. "This is everything on Kikyo and her people."

"Thanks." Inuyasha took an equally tiny case off of Miroku's desk and slipped the chip inside. The he slipped the waterproof case under his tongue and smiled. "Thanks."

"Sure." Miroku shrugged. "I wont lie, I'll hate to see you go. You're the best I've ever had."

"Best you'll ever get, too." Inuyasha smirked. "But this isn't what I want for Kagome."

"I get it, I get it." Miroku nodded knowingly. "Gotta keep the woman happy if you want some."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Gutter, Miroku. Get out of it. Me and Kagome aren't having sex."

"Oh?" Miroku smiled at him. "In that case, may I-"

"If you like life, I don't recommend finishing that thought." Inuyasha smiled at him pleasently.

Miroku laughed without worry. "Sure, sure. What has Sango said about this?"

"She's sticking with me, of course." Inuyasha said. "She says any enemy of mine is an enemy of hers."

"She's a good woman." Miroku nodded.

"She even asked to join me and Kagome." Inuyasha though aloud. "Kagome was all for it. I don't mind, I like Sango. I just kind of thought she prefered the more exciting life. But, hey, if she wants in, I say welcome." He shrugged.

"Oh, so Sango wants to come with you?" Miroku said nonchalantly.

"Huh?" Inuyasha blinked in confusion. True, he had completely grasped language recently, but there were still some things he didn't get completely. Like nonchalant statements and the true interest that generally lay beyond them. "Yeah, why?"

"Oh, nothing." Miroku grinned. "Off you go, bloodhound. Go make daddy rich."

"Daddy?" Inuyasha repeated dully.
