Introduction to this chapter:

Kagome returns from training. The organization begins to set up the necessities for 'code red.' (high alert)

Kagome walked carefully out of the shuttle into the blank white hall. "Be careful you don't trigger any alarms." Rin warned as she ran in front of her to press the needed codes to force the hall to come alive. The hall changed into a dome that showcased the whole city, even the floor was made of glass, but Kagome didn't seem very interested at the moment. Rin walked ahead, she was trying to help Kagome get back to her room. She was still aching from her training, she had to run four miles, and though that seemed like a more than reasonable amount to Rin, it seemed to exhaust Kagome to no ends.

"I can't wait to get in my room and take a long warm needed bath, please tell me this thing will come off?" She asked while pinching the suit she wore. Rin stared down at it momentarily while the hall combusted into its usual setting. She led Kagome down towards her room slowly.

"Maybe you shouldn't run outside anymore in this heat." Rin commented. She really couldn't prescribe anything for the running. Running was just an everyday thing for agents; they did it every day for hours at a time. Some agents ran up to 50 miles a day, some ran even more. Kagome being a top agent was going to be in the 'even more' category. "Did you get any progress today?" Rin asked and Kagome who was walking slowly was concentrating on taking her hair out of its high ponytail.

"I don't want to talk about it…" She stated while approaching a normal part of the hall. Rin stepped away to allow Kagome to place a hand on the wall. She did just that and a pad came up. She took a second to think, than placed down her information slowly but surely. The wall pushed up revealing her room and she walked into it. Everything was how she left it, yet a lot cleaner. Clothes she had laid on the floor had returned to their spot. "Please don't tell me I have any more training…anytime soon."

Rin smiled at that, not wanting to admit that tomorrow morning she would be trained yet again. "Hey Kagome…" she said instead, making the gorgeous new recruit look upwards. The wall shifted back to white and boring and the door to her room shifted closed. "I was wondering if you know tonight, maybe at dinner we could talk." Kagome looked up at Rin not understanding.

"Of course we can talk… what, were we going to stay quiet all dinner?" Kagome asked in an amused yet confused tone. She was near a mirror that was connected to the wall, trying to control her overly voluminous hair. As soon as she took down her ponytail her hair swayed downwards and shaped her face gorgeously.

"Well I've noticed lately that you seem to have a lot of people near you during meals that's why I asked." Kagome took a considerable pause than tilted her head off to the side. Rin wanted something. She was good at sensing when someone wanted something from her. She was particularly great at sensing it in men, they always wanted one thing from her. Girls her age, on the other hand; needed various things, they usually thought she was the only one who could help deliver them.

"Yeah, but there's always room for you." Kagome said and Rin thought that over for a second. She had a better idea, but she was trying her best not to inconvenience Kagome. There was a large break in the conversation where Kagome finally left the mirror in front of her and walked towards the bathroom. Rin followed behind trying to muster up the words she wanted to say.

"What I really mean…" Rin started as she slipped into the bathroom before the wall shut behind her. "I mean I was wondering if." Kagome at that moment was at the back searching for some way to bring out the bathtub. Rin sensed the questioning look on her face and placed her hand on the tiled wall. The bathroom shifted suddenly, the sink fell down to the ground and in its place was a dome like egg.

"Uh what is that?" Kagome asked and Rin looked from her to the shower.

"It's a built in spa, you can take showers, baths, it even has a Jacuzzi setting. You'll like it a lot better than the standard." Kagome didn't seem to think so. She walked around the egg looking at the seated stools connected to it on the inside. She was so consumed with it Rin was getting the idea that she was no longer listening to her. "Kagome…" She started and that forced her to look her way. "Listen I know I'm going in circles but really I'm asking for a favor." Kagome smiled at that, she was happy to know Rin was openly admitting it. "Can you… can you please help me with you know who?" She asked and Kagome knew exactly what she meant.

"Yeah… of course" she said suddenly. "I said I would… didn't I?" Rin nodded at that and Kagome placed her attention back on the egg like hi-tech shower. "Okay how does thing work?" Rin nodded at that but before she could state anything she felt the need to take out that weird pad from her pocket. Kagome glided her eyes from her to the egg. "You know there's a normal bathtub here some where. I've been using it for the past couple days, and i don't even know how to...'

"You just… just step inside…" Rin stuttered while backing up. "Kagome I'll be right back." She said in a hurry while running out of the bathroom and into the room. Kagome watched her leave before adjusting her attention back to the egg in front of her. She narrowed her eyes suddenly. She didn't think she'd like this very much, it looked like an over side Glade plug-in. She narrowed her eyes while trying to step into the egg but before she could enter she heard a hard pounding.

She walked out of the bathroom forcing the wall to shift upward. Everything in her room seemed to be in place. Her bed was made, she didn't remember making it this morning, she was coming to terms with the fact that the room did things like that on its own. The knocking continued and she realized it was coming from the front. She walked towards it and placed a hand on the wall. The wall shifted upwards and she pushed her head outwards looking for something in the empty white walls. She spotted nothing so she quickly propped herself in and let the door slide close. She turned to return to the bathroom. She was hopping if she wet the suit it would come off on its own. As she turned towards the bathroom she ended up hitting something particularly hard. She paused suddenly backing up. If it wasn't for her unusual grace she would of fell to the floor. It didn't take long for her to sort herself and look upwards. Her breath hitched when she finally took in who was in front of her.

He had a single eyebrow up and a slight smile on his face. He lived for this sort of thing; it was the only thing that humored him. The idea that someone as poise and graceful as her could fall, tumble, or lose her self-assurance for something as minor as a bump or trip. She didn't falter from it for too long though. She rose up from her spot, shock still evident on her face. "I know your codes." He easily admitted.

She let her face take on its appropriate emotion of calm and collected, though inside she was screaming. "So that gives you the right to just invite yourself in?" She asked. He didn't say anything and she rolled her eyes before walking past him. She stopped dead in her track as she noticed a gap in her wall closest to her closet. She walked towards it in fascination. The door began to close as she approached it, but she got a glimpse of another room. "What's that?" She whispered out loud.

Inuyasha didn't comment on it. He didn't even take the time to explain why he was in her room. He knew why and that was the only important thing. "It's mine…" He stated as he walked quietly towards her. She stood in shock wanting to turn around and ask a series of questions, but before she could she felt her body being enveloped by two well capable hands. If she didn't know better she'd assume that he was making a pass on her, but she did know better. She knew a lot about the opposite sex and this was defiantly a pass. He lowed himself down towards her neck and she felt him kiss the nape slowly but surely.

"What… are you…" She asked but her words were swallowed down by the instinct to moan. The whole thing felt like some weird dream where she was able to get everything she truly desired. Had she actually won over Inuyasha, could she finally get everything she wanted. She smiled at the idea of it, before turning herself slowly in his grip and facing him. She had a very sly smile on her face, but before she could even place two arms around his neck he pushed her down against the wall and lowered his lips to hers. He kissed her fervently making her body melt and mold to his.

He laid all the passion he felt during the day on her. He wasn't one to restrain himself from what he wanted, and he plain and simple wanted her. He fought with it during the day but did he have to now? He was abnormaly attracted to her, and he was hoping to get his fill right now. Though it was very true he didn't like her at all, he was very capable of putting that fact inside to fulfill his physical needs.

She kissed him back as passionately as he did, while letting her arms hang around his neck. He paused for a few moments letting his kiss trail down her neck. Her mind was completely clear of thought and she felt herself subconsciously begin trying to tug on the suit. "So… how do you take these off…?" She said with a hefty breath. He didn't answer her instead he easily placed a hand on her shoulder causing her bare skin to be shown. He did the same with the curves of her body and just like that the suit began to unfasten. He had the suit partially off suddenly and he let his eyes wonder before setting them on two perky well rounded breasts. He lowered his head and took a nipple in his mouth causing her chest to rise and a moan to escape out. She never felt herself in so much bliss before. She seemed to be a stranger to the sensation and she wanted more of it. He felt her bare body smash into his and for some reason that caused a rise to form throughout him. His skin became extra sensitive and his need to enter her caused the suit to skillfully pill off his body. Wherever she touched the reliance it began to loosen its fit. He was about to remove the suit himself when he realized something. It caused him to pause and step away from her. The suit tightened back and she took a few steps forward to rekindle what they just had, but he moved slightly telling her he was done. He arranged himself slightly before turning away from her. "I have to go." He stated suddenly. She stared at him wanting to find words to say that could clearly define how she was feeling.

She didn't want to seem eager, but wow, they were just getting started. "Um… okay… why?" She stuttered but he didn't answer she was going to add something else when she felt a shifting at the door ahead. She stared ahead spotting Rin. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

"Oh so you figured out how to take it off." Rin said happily… She looked down spotting her bare chest. She quickly tried covering herself. "I'll help you work the shower. Sorry for leaving, but I had an assignment I was supposed to do... and well I was a bit late… and…" Kagome drowned her out as she thought about what just happened. She searched behind her not finding anything. He must have come through that door at the back. She walked towards it instead of following Rin towards the bathroom. "Are you coming?" She asked, and at that moment Kagome wanted to ask a series of questions but for some reason it didn't seem right. Something was telling her to keep it a secret… well at least for awhile.

"Um… yeah, I just thought I saw something…' she mumbled and Rin only nodded before walking back into the bathroom.

Later that day, dinner time:

She sighed as she looked around the spacious room. It seemed like the cafeteria had gotten even more hi tech since the last time she used it. She was scanning the room for any splash of silver and as she searched the room she spotted a large group of agents looking her way. A smile appeared on her face automatically and she took a few steps towards them. She was going to take her seat at the middle when she spotted the only floral blouse in the room. It was on the far left in the back. She ignored the group of agents and made her way towards the back.

As she came closer she realized that the floral blouse was of course Rin. She was sitting across from the one person she was looking for. Her heart began beating in overtime and she picked up her pace.

INU POV:

"I have a list I want some top agents to participate in, you know everyone excluding Kagome." Rin said as she flipped through series of papers. Inuyasha on the other hand was staring at a series of files he didn't have time to get to. He had a pen in hand as he openly ignored the girl across from him. "I think we have to get to it before we go on red alert." He was still ignoring everything she said but she just continued talking, she was sure he'd soak up some of the information. She looked up at him for a moment wanting to all of a sudden change the subject. "So…" she began while looking his way. "What are you planning on doing with Kagome training wise?" He glanced up at that moment and she was happy to finally grab his attention.

She continued the conversation but what she didn't know was Inuyasha had actually looked up because he sensed something. Well not something per se, but someone. Kagome was making her way towards there table. He predicted she'd sit down in 5, 4,3,2, "Hey Rin."

Rin looked upwards at the petite girl in shock. "Hey Kagome… I wasn't expecting you…"

"Why not…" she asked while setting down her tray, "I said I would talk to you at dinner earlier today…" Rin smiled at that, finally she'd get to have a decent conversation. She liked that Kagome seemed to always keep her word. She took her seat next to Rin before turning to face Inuyasha. "Hey…" She said pleasantly towards him. She flashed one of her amazingly gorgeous smiles his way but she didn't do anything following up to it. He expected her to act ridiculously clingy. He usually had that problem when he first started to get physically involved with an agent, but he didn't know to what extent Kagome would follow that up. She already chose to sit at his table when there was a mass of people waiting for her a few rows up. He had a feeling that she'd probably be even more suffocating seeing as she was a spoiled school girl. He'd just have to tell her later tonight that he wanted a purely physical relationship and that was it.

"So it's unusually full today, what's going on?" She asked and Rin turned to witness what she was talking about. The massive room seemed to be filled with more agents than usual.

"Oh… there all getting ready for high alert, when we're in red alert we all do everything the same time, eating is one of them." Kagome nodded as she looked over the mass of people. She then focused her attention back to her food, but in reality she was just keeping tabs on the Hanyou in front of her.

He seemed so laid back, he was acting as if he wasn't in her room touching her most private areas less than two hours ago. It did feel like a weird dream, but she was more than a hundred percent certain it had happened. He was just acting as if it didn't. Which was perfectly fine, two could play that game. She stuck a unique looking fork into her food. It lit up slightly and she was a bit cautious, should she put it in her mouth, but she didn't want to appear stupid in front of him and ask. He didn't seem to care or notice she was across from him, he continued reading whatever it was he was so interested in. Sometimes he wrote something down, other times he ate, but not once did he ask her 'how she was doing?' or comment on something on her person, like a normal guy who found her attractive would do. It made her feel so easy but she was good at hiding emotions like that.

Rin continued talking while Kagome pretended she was interested. In reality she had all her attention on the man in front of her. She was doing a brilliant job sneaking glances at him. He hadn't noticed her staring and as a top agent he was usually exceptional at that. She had a way of waiting till he brought the paper towards him to sneak a look. As soon as he looked up she turned towards Rin and began talking. Her lack of interest had him a bit intrigued. He would have defiantly depicted Kagome as the obsessive type, but she seemed very nonchalant. He focused his attention on her for awhile before drifting his eyes to the background. Making their way towards them were Sango and Ayame, they were having a very uninteresting conversation about 'code red.' It seemed like the only thing any agent really talked about.

He focused little attention towards them before losing interest all together and going back to sorting and checking files. Kagome on the other hand noticed his peak in attention and followed his eye sight behind her. "Oh Sango…" she stated and Rin turned to see both her friends making their way towards them. Inuyasha took that as his cue to leave. He rose from his spot leaving everything but his papers and making his way towards the exit. "Who's that…?" Kagome asked meaning the red headed woman making her way towards them as well.

"Oh I forgot you haven't met her… that's Ayame; she's a top agent too." Rin said while rising from her seat to greet them. Kagome smiled before turning forwards to sneak a peek at Inuyasha. She was shock to notice he wasn't in his seat. She searched the cafeteria finding his departing figure walking towards the exit. She didn't know why, but all of a sudden she had an urge to follow, she rose up from her spot.

"Hey… you know what…I'll meet Ayame later… I forgot I have to do something." She said in a complete stutter. Rin turned to face her as she rose from the hi-tech box seats; hers slid back into the table as she took off jogging towards him. Rin just turned to watch. She stopped running as soon as she felt she was close enough for him to notice. She continued forward in one of her dainty graceful strolls.

What she didn't know was that Inuyasha had already sensed her and he could predict her reaching him in 4, 3, 2... She walked past in a very casual way. She seemed as if she had somewhere to go, but he didn't see or sense Rin anywhere. He tried his best to just ignore her but that same feeling of intrigue came over him again and he wanted to know where or what she was getting ready to do. He wasn't even sure if she knew her way around.

What he didn't know was though she had no idea where she was going, she did know what she was doing. Kagome was a master manipulator. She also found it extremely easy to win over any guy she wanted, and him following her was giving her just what she wanted. He waited till the hall got relatively empty before following behind her. He watched her closely with his eyes; she had an extremely elegant way of walking. It was sensual while being casual and he found it easy to trace all of her curves when she walked. He waited till she passed a back room to make his move. He swept himself to the left of the hall before skillfully taking her by the arm and pushing her rather roughly into a wall at the side. "Are you supposed to be here?" He asked softly. She felt her blood scorch and heart begin working over time.

She placed a very coy smile on her perfect face. "So it wasn't in my head?" She asked knowingly…"You do like me." that made a sadistic grin slip on to his lips.

He brought his lips closer to her. "No I really don't…" he whispered, it made a chill run through her spine, and forced her body to freeze as he made his move. She didn't move or kiss him back. He ran his lips down her neck, and yet it caused warm flashes run through her exposed skin, she couldn't help the feeling that he was telling the truth. He really didn't like her?

"Seriously…" she asked as he peeled the reliant even lower down her back. He ignored her as he brought his lips back up her neck. "Really?" she asked again in a soft whisper. He still ignored her and she paused for a minute as he lifted his head to kiss her again. She moved her head ever so slightly to block him access.

He paused with a look of frustration on his face. "What's wrong with you?" he asked and she stuck an eyebrow up in annoyance. She took a good look at his overly handsome face. She didn't know why she had to think about this. If he didn't like her then what was she doing? It made her feel cheap just thinking about it, feeling cheap wasn't something she was accustomed to. He backed up from her hesitantly before pushing his hand against the wall. A soft roaring could be heard as the wall made a huge gaping hole behind her. She turned to take a short look before stumbling backwards behind it. She landed into some sort of dark hole. Nothing could be seen and she found herself stumbling to go back out where she came, but the hole that had pushed her in was closing extremely fast. That didn't stop her from finding her balance and running quickly towards the burst of light up ahead, but by the time she got there it had already closed. She pushed her hand against the wall feeling for an exit when she felt none she resorted to screaming. "Mr. T… Mr...I mean... Inuyasha…." She called out but no one responded. "Inuyasha… Inu…"

Before she could say one more word she felt someone grip her by the mouth and pull her into something hard. She identified it as an extremely tone chest. "Was screaming really necessary?" he asked and almost like a command the lights flickered on, revealing a decent size empty class room. He released her after awhile and she took a few steps forward before whipping her head around to face him.

"You know you could have given me some sort of warning." She said while pushing a hand through her thick hair. He didn't react; instead he walked forward towards the desk up front. She watched him closely for awhile before taking a seat in a desk in the back. "So…" she began and he looked up at that moment. "Is there a reason why I'm here?"

He didn't say anything. He instead ignored her as he sorted something up front and sat down at the head desk. She narrowed her eyes and looked around the room, she hadn't noticed before, but this was his class room. He took a moment to sort through something making her sigh rather loudly. "Hey…" She announced but he didn't say anything. She got up at that moment and took a long look at him. "I'm going to go ahead and leave." She announced while walking towards the door. He didn't give her one glance and that caused her blood to boil. She tried holding it in, she wasn't a kid anymore, she should have been able to hold in this type of emotion but she, for some reason didn't care. She turned towards him suddenly but instead of yelling she just confidently smiled. "So…tell me?" She asked calmly. He still didn't look up but that didn't falter her.

"What did you expect was going to happen?" She asked as she walked gracefully towards him. He still didn't pay her any mind and as she approached him she didn't let her smile falter. "Did you think just because I'm new, I was just going to turn into puddy in your hands? Did you think you could sneak your way any time you wanted and just have your way?" he still didn't seem interested and as she approached his desk she smiled suddenly and grabbed hold quickly of the papers he was working on. He looked up at that and she widened her smile. "What about me made you think I was easy?" He stood up, suddenly with much authority.

"Give me back the papers." He stated sternly. She just narrowed her eyes as she stared up at him.

"Or what?"

He didn't say anything he just walked around the desk wanting to snatch them from her, but before he could grab it, her hand and the file burned a dark blue and all of a sudden the paper disintegrated."You're going to be really sorry you did that?" He said and she rolled her eyes while walking towards the door.

"Trust me I don't give a shit." He turned to watch her as she walked out of his class room. "Oh… and make it the last time you and I touch each other." She said while opening up the door, she slammed it closed extremely hard causing some of the structure to rumble. He stared after her. He didn't know rather to be extremely furious, very fascinated, slightly aroused or indifferent. He decided he'd just suck up his emotions all together. He told himself he'd have plenty of time to get her back, see her, or have his way with her later, but now he decided to redo the amount of work she openly destroyed.

Later that night:

There was a steady knock on his classroom door. He knew who it was but he didn't know rather or not he wanted to actually allow the person in or not. He decided maybe if he ignored him he'd go away. He did just that and a few moments later someone knocked at his door again. He pushed the papers in front of him to the side in utter frustration. He still didn't say anything. It had to be two in the morning. Did Miroku ever sleep? "Hey…" He heard him calling out from the other side of the door. "I know you're in there. I have something important to tell you."

He sat back in his chair before pushing his hands over his face in annoyance. Miroku bothering him was the last thing he needed. He had a lot on his plate; he had to worry about a ridiculous amount of paperwork for the final days of boarding school. He had to train that ingrate who had no idea what she was doing, and he had to worry about switching his schedule and hers to one of an urgent one once Sesshomaru called red alert. It didn't help that she openly destroyed 2 of the files of work he had been filling out.

He took a deep breath letting his mind set on her once again. He'd usually be extremely mad at that, but for some reason he wasn't too upset. He was more furious at himself. For some reason he found it excruciatingly hard to set his mind on anything else but her. No other agent let alone a new recruit from the boarding school ever turned down his advances. He could literally have any woman he wanted, and he could make them do whatever he wanted. He didn't have to be too charming or too nice, but for some reason it didn't work on her…she didn't act the way he predicted at all. She was much more confident, self assured…it caused his curiosity to peak. Most things didn't do that, Inuyasha was always insufferably bored with almost everything he did at the organization, and only a few minor things caught his attention, and she was one of them. He wanted to know if all his predictions of her were false. He wanted to find out what approach he'd have to take to please her. He wanted to crack that outer shell of hers. He knew there was more inside than she led on. He rose from his seat and walked towards a blank wall. Someone continued to knock insufferably at the door, but he found it easy to ignore it. He pushed the pad of his finger into the wall causing it to tremor slightly then suddenly a large drawer exceeded from it. He quickly sorted through folders till he found the manila one he had been looking at all afternoon.

He flipped open her file reading over the same things over and over again. He marked down a few key points in red, and made connections between them. He had opened up a few secrets in her personality, but the intriguing part of it was there was no guarantee that any of it was accurate about her. She had a lot of free wired personality traits. The only thing that he pieced together was the root to her uncontrollable anger, well not the root, but he figured out how she expressed it. He realized that she wasn't the type to just fly off the handle. She was more of the manipulator type. She was the sort of person who'd rather sabotage you than curse at you. She could hold her anger for large periods of time, and that was what made her even more lethal. He sat back thinking of ways to accopriate that into her training, when the knock at the door continued.

"You know I'm not going to leave…"

"Goddamn it Miroku." He said. "Fine…" He got up from his spot to unlock the class room door. He wasn't surprised at all to see an eager Miroku leaning on the door frame.

"What are you doing down here so late?" he asked while inviting himself in. He looked around the classroom scoping for anyone. Miroku was a top agent, but he was no youkai. he made up for this by being extremely observant. Whenever he walked into a room he scoped everything out quickly. He made sure that every corner was inspected. He had gotten so good at this that he could carry conversations while surveying every given corner.

"I'm setting shit up… or have you forgotten we're going on high alert in a couple of days." Miroku smiled at that before taking a seat in a random desk at the head of the class. Inuyasha returned to his seat, but as he took his spot he quickly pushed Kagome's file under a stack of papers. He didn't know why he didn't want Miroku seeing it; he just at the moment knew he didn't want anyone reading it.

"No I haven't forgotten." Miroku commented. "I'm going to miss those airhead girls…" He had a very perverted smile on his face, and Inuyasha rolled his eyes before going back to his previous work. "So are you going to answer my question?" He looked up at that, and Miroku spared him a glance. "What are you doing here so late?"

"I answered that already." He stated and Miroku took the moment to scan over his papers. He noticed he was working on some final notifications for the current student residents.

"Yeah but you didn't answer accurately." Inuyasha glanced up at that moment, throwing Miroku a very venomous look.

"Is there reason why you're here? I know you want something. What is it?" He asked and Miroku smiled, he was a bit happy to be getting to the point.

"So you've met the new recruit right?" He asked and Inuyasha instantly knew why he was here. "I know you trained her today. How was she?"

"She's a meddling little brat. How else would she be?" he asked and Miroku thought about that for a short moment. "Listen, she's no different than any of the other brats who were here, so don't waste your time."

"Well actually that's not correct. She has to have some sort of different quality. She was chosen." He countered and Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"The only difference is she's far more annoying and bratty then the rest of the lot." He looked back down at his work and began scribbling a mass of things. He took a moment of thought than mumbled: "Apparently that makes a good agent." Miroku took a second to digest that, before redirecting himself to the real purpose he came.

"Oh come on, don't tell me she has no quality." He said and Inuyasha sighed.

"She doesn't." He lied, he didn't know why exactly he felt it detrimental to slander her, but for some reason he did. Inuyasha, though a bit ruder than normal, didn't exactly hate anyone, he didn't care enough to hate, so he usually didn't lie. Especially when it came to agent's progress or their strong points. He defiantly knew a few of Kagome's, but he still didn't find the need to point them out, or tell anyone about them. He was starting to come to the conclusion that he didn't quite like her at all. The idea that he cared enough to dislike someone had him a bit on edge, and as he let that idea soak in. He gripped the pen in his hand rather tightly before snapping and looking up at Miroku. "Why are you here?"

Miroku took a moment to think that over. "I'm not going to sugar coat It." he said as he rose from his seat. "I want to know… well Kouga and I, and a few other agents, want to know… you know, if you called her yet." Inuyasha thought about that and he didn't quite know what to say. He already knew this was the reason Miroku came down here. He probably took the time to ask Sesshomaru where he was, then checked his room, then settled at his classroom, just to know rather Inuyasha had taken the leap of actually becoming physically involved with the newest recruit. The horrible thing about it was, he didn't know rather to say yes or no.

If he said no, that left her open. Was that necessarily a bad thing? He didn't really care about who she was physically involved with. But he had to admit he wanted to be. He could have any agent he wanted, but she was hands down the best (appearance wise), and though he didn't like her. He rather she be gone, but while she was here he might as well take advantage of her. The one of the many problems with Kagome was she wasn't born into the organization; she didn't understand that relationship wise there were two rules. One, agents didn't date other agents. It was a self made rule that was created to help people cope with loss. It wasn't uncommon for lower ranked agents to go on missions and not come back, agents died every day. It wouldn't be professional to have a group of grieving people trying to participate in complicated deadly task. Than it was the second rule that was also created because of the second rule. It wasn't really a rule, but it was just something that naturally occurred. Though agents didn't date, they did have sex... they actually did it regularly.

"We're just asking because you were quick to snag Kikyo." Miroku stated and Inuyasha sat up at that. His relationship with Kikyo was a bit complicated, well his former relationship. No one agent was completely connected of one person. Since there was no real relationship connected to the sex, no one honored any one relationship, but Kikyo was slightly different. "So have you made any attempt?" He asked. Though Inuyasha usually kept to himself, he didn't really consider Miroku or Kouga as friends, though they did. There were two things he was always willing to talk to them about. One was the amount of people he killed in any given mission. And the other was who he was phsically involved with, so Miroku found nothing wrong with openly asking if he had had sex with Kagome yet? It was a crucial question because she was extremely new, if she was already having sex with another agent than it would be a long while for her to ease into another. Inuyasha was of course the first person to ask seeing as he had his pick of virtually anyone.

He thought long and hard about it. Should he say yes, though she had been difficult today, there was no doubt in his mind that he could get her later? He didn't want to dismiss the idea, but he still had the problem of being a bit annoyed by her. He looked up at Miroku after a moment. He was still waiting and it caused him to mentally roll his eyes. He seemed to be anticipating the answer as if the result would make or break him. "Okay…" Inuyasha stated while shrugging. He quickly grabbed hold of the papers on his desk. He was very careful to grab Kagome's as well. "She's all yours." He openly admitted and Miroku smiled slightly. "If I were you I wouldn't tell the others."

Tomorrow morning, Kagome's room:

"I don't feel comfortable with that." Rin mumbled, and Kagome narrowed her eyes not understanding why.

"You told me when we go on red alert you'll have to do it anyway, right?" Rin shrugged slightly. "Your just shy is all. I was too, but it's no big deal." She stated while openly kicking her legs back in forth. The days leading to high alert were always unusually calm. A lot of agents took the time to do things that they hadn't had time to do before, More times than none that included going out into the city, and excluded actually training.

"I don't think I'm shy. I wear it every day, but I'm uncomfortable because without the appropriate attire I won't be recognized for what I do. Kagome scrunched her face slightly, not understanding. "I'm a top agent," she stated. She rose from her seat to explain the in and outs of her job. "But I'm also Sesshomaru's side. I handle a lot of strategic and tactical…"

"Okay… okay I get it. You're really important, but I think it'll be really cool if you showed off your figure." Rin thought about that for a second. "I guarantee it'll get everyone's attention, especially… you know who." Rin smiled at that slightly. She didn't know how much of that she believed though.

"I don't know, every agent in the department wears a Reliance, how am I wearing one going to get people's attention."

"Because it's all about the difference, people see you one way, when you change to another way, they take notice." Rin still seemed spectacle and Kagome smiled reassuringly while jumping off her bed. The movement caused the bed to shift and slide itself back into the wall. It wasn't the type of bed to relax on. It was for one purpose only, and that was for sleeping. As soon as the pressure was applied off of it, it ascended back into the wall. "It's like for instance…" she said while thinking about a way to describe what she meant. "It's like when you're at school, there's always that one person who makes it their sole purpose to be different. Sometimes they wear all black, sometimes they have more piercings than skin, Sometimes they dye their hair in ridiculous colors… sometimes they… you know what I'm talking about. Whoever they are, their always different compared to everybody else. Though when they leave school and go out in public…" She made a scrunched like face to show how disgusting that notion was. Rin smiled at her slight shallowness. "Everyone looks at them, they get all the attention they ever want, but back at school, no one cares, because we see them every day. Let's say one day they gain their senses and decide to be normal… and not a well… freak. They go through all the changes. They dye their hair back to a suitable color; they go shopping for actual normal clothes. They take off those disgusting piercings, and wahlah."

Kagome at that moment had begun trailing the room, and lifting her arms about to showcase what she meant. Rin could feel herself becoming gradually involved into the story. For some reason she wanted to know what would happen to this person who was considered a "freak." Kagome paused for a slight moment, "So they come back to school all made up as a normal, average person." Rin paused not really liking the ending too well. "They're not any prettier, not any more talented; they're not any more fashionable. They're just a normal person, but... People take notice." She announced. "People take notice, because usually that person is an outcast; usually they do the opposite of the norm. And even though now there just mediocre, some people are going to think them beautiful. Some people are going to think they're, gifted even stylish." She shrugged after that. "And I guess that's why differences are important." There was a long pause lasting a quarter of a minute, and then she smiled. "But you don't have to worry about that. You're pretty, so really all you have to do is take off those blouses and skirts and convert."

Rin stood up at that moment. "Isn't it better to be different? I thought converting was bad, and individuality was good." Kagome thought about that for a moment before shaking her head.

"Nope." she simply stated. "I think that's just what ugly people say." Rin laughed slightly at that before shaking her head. "So… why don't you go take off that blouse and I'll do your hair and makeup." That caused her to turn around ever so slightly. "Don't worry, I'm not going to burry you in it, I'll do a natural look, just for enhancing."Rin sighed at that but nodded in agreement. She didn't want to argue with her, she caught almost everyone's attention where ever she went, she seemed to know best.

"Okay I will." She said while heading towards the bathroom. Kagome watched after her before taking a seat at the seat she was once occupying. As soon as Rin left, her thoughts went back to Inuyasha. She felt the need to tell Rin about it, but she was afraid. The way he had, with no if ands or buts threw himself at her, it made her think that it was a regular thing amongst agents. For some reason that upset her, she didn't want to find out from Rin that it was. Though she knew it had to be, Mr. T didn't like her, well he didn't seem to. Why would he want to be intimate with her… well than again, Rin had warned her earlier, could it be that he didn't like her, but he was attracted to her.

"Okay…" Rin announced, it awoke her from her stupor. "Am I converted?" She asked while walking forward. She wore only the reliance which flattered her figure like it. She smiled while crossing her arm and Kagome stood up to meet her.

"Wow… look at that shape." She said while walking around her. Rin had to be the definition of petite. She had an extremely small waist, small rounded hips that jutted outwards ever so slightly, her legs were rather long for her height, and extremely shapely. "This is what you were hiding?" Kagome joked and Rin rolled her eyes.

"I look like everyone else." She said while steering herself towards the only open seat. Kagome smiled gently before sighing. She decided that even though she didn't want to hear the truth she'd hear it any way. She wanted to know what to expect from him and other agents. She walked forward wanting to mix up the makeup when Rin sat up. "Oh… I completely forgot… I know your birthday is coming up tomorrow."

Kagome turned at that smiling forward. "Yup, the big one nine" she commented as she played around with her makeup. She grabbed her eye liner and eye shadow while turning to face Rin.

"Yeah, well I was talking to Ayame and Sango, and how would you like to go out in the city tomorrow night. We'll stay up all night." Kagome smiled at that. "Sango knows the city really well and seeing as we'll be going to red alert pretty soon, I thought it would be really fun for you to see a normal day for agents."

"I think that's amazing." She said while making her way towards Rin. "You really didn't have to do that though."

"I wanted to. I mean things are about to get really hard, and I thought maybe you needed some relax time first." Kagome who was already crouching down at that moment paused.

"So does that mean no more training?" She asked, she had a very relieve smile on her face. Rin read it immediately and just shrugged.

"Inuyasha as a trainer isn't working out?" She asked. She looked down, not wanting to make eye contact. Instead she rubbed the foundation together and mixed a few lavender eye shadows. She didn't want to talk about him. She defiantly didn't want to tell her what she had been doing with him. "No other agents I know of are training this week. I don't see why you have to. I'll call up Inuyasha." Kagome smiled at that while reaching upwards to apply some make up. Rin put a finger upwards and got up from her chair. She did a small movement around her hip and out dropped a small little cube. Kagome got up in fascination. Suddenly with a whisk of her wrist the cube turned into that unusual hi-tech pad.

She walked forward as the pad came to life and Kagome nervously took a seat in the open chair Rin once occupied. The pad vibrated suddenly as Rin strolled around the room. Kagome could see the pad's screen taking the shape of a place. Something like a gym, it looked a lot like a gymnastic gymnasium; it even had the same beams. She rose up slightly to take a better look at it. The pad suddenly tried to find a person and searched the gym spotting the muscular form of Inuyasha. He had his reliance on and was punching furiously at a scarlet red punching bag. Suddenly she felt herself wanting to take back what she said yesterday. The pad itself continued to vibrate violently in only a matter of seconds he noticed it thrashing on the floor beside his bag.

He didn't exactly roll his eyes but he did show a sign of annoyance as he walked towards a corner of the floor and crouched down near it. He picked up the pad to see Rin's face, smiling and healthy. He wasn't amused. His eyes fell away from her towards a girl looking upwards in the background. As soon as he scanned her she looked down at her lap and began mixing a flesh colored powder. He sighed annoyingly… "What do you want?" He stated, Rin's grin didn't falter.

"Hey wanted to let you know that Kagome isn't training today." Inuyasha paused for a moment at the information. He wasn't exactly upset. He thought that training her took a bit of his valuable time, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't have something mischievous planned for her, to make up for the work she destroyed last night. He decided that he could force her to do that later. He let his eyes skim towards the miko in the background again. She still seemed falsely consumed with the flesh tone powders. "I don't care." He stated suddenly. "Did you take it up with Sesshomaru? I don't think he'd want his recruit to go a day without training. She needs it more than any of us."

Rin took that into consideration, and Kagome, who was listening in, began to relay less concentration in mixing and more concentration in the conversation. He could see her body tense up in alert. "Well everyone else seems to be taking off….besides you, and red alert is coming up, besides her birthday's tomorrow." She said as an excuse.

Inuyasha didn't seem impressed. "Like I said I don't care…" He sighed suddenly. Rin fixed her lips to say something else in the form of an excuse but before she could utter a word he hung up. Kagome looked up at that before shaking her head.

"Why is he such a dick?" she asked and Rin shrugged. She didn't even know where to begin to answer that question. Kagome took in her look of confusion before continuing on. "Where was he?" she got up from her seat slightly while crossing her arms. She wanted to hide the fact that she was slightly intrigued. It had been a long time since she did anything gymnastic related and she had a slight urge to practice some techniques.

"It's one of the gymnasiums. Hey I guess that means you're free to do what you want today." Kagome shrugged while taking that into consideration. "Do you want to go out into the city….or we can do an extensive tour of the building."

All of those suggestions sounded extremely relevant, but she had a promise that she was determined to deliver. "Nah… we have to start getting you and you know who involved." She smiled as Rin gave her an uneasy look. "Come on Rin… you'll be thanking me in the long run." She said while beckoning her over to the chair. She went uneasily as Kagome picked up the makeup she set on the chair.

Later that day, approaching Sesshomaru's office/ In Sesshomaru's office:

"Think of one thing that you have to say." Kagome instructed and Rin hesitated in her thought. Kagome had done an overly exceptional job at giving her a makeover. Her skin was unbelievably perfect, her eyes were a gorgeous chocolate and all of her features seemed to add up in an unusually gorgeous way. Her hair was out of its bun and fell in violent waves down her shoulders. "Come on Rin…" They were near the shuttle off to the corner trying to think about what was appropriate to say to Sesshomaru that would be of importance and that would actually give him a sold look at her. Rin didn't seem too comfortable in her makeup and bare reliance. She didn't like how the passing agents mumbled and stared. "You can tell him I'm not going to training today.

Rin turned to face her. "Yeah… so he can chew me out?" She asked and Kagome scratched an uneven budge out of her once perfect ponytail. "I don't think this is a good idea. He's really busy, and this seems pretty childish… he's not the type that this would work on."

"He's a guy right?" Kagome asked and Rin looked up not understanding. "It's going to work trust me…" Rin wanted to mumble something but before she could Kagome carefully pushed her down the long busy hall.

Sesshomaru's office:

"Shit…." Inuyasha mumbled as he stared off into a section of his brother's office. He had his hands clenched into the cushions of the seat and a perplexed look on his face. He had a million and one questions running through his head but he knew better than to question one. He wasn't allowed to show the type of emotion he wanted to at the moment. He looked towards his brother who had his hands on his temple in frustration.

"Is that all Kouga?" he asked the speaker on his right. Kouga who had been on a mission for the last week took a calculated pause. He was at the moment underground in the middle of an uncharted dessert. He had a small talking chip hanging from his ear as he slowly began to pace. He wasn't exactly trapped underground, he just needed to think of a way to get himself out. He was desperately trying to find a weak spot. The oxygen was beginning to get low, and in any moment he'd have to stop talking all together to conserve it.

"Yeah… for now it's all…" He mumbled as he searched the dark of the room he was in.

Inuyasha sat up at that and turned himself to face the small speaking box sitting on the mahogany desk. "How long do you think we have to train?" He asked, there was an elongated pause as Kouga thought it over.

"Ugh… I don't know… it all depends on what she's told them…. I'd just continue everything as scheduled and see what happens." He instructed. Sesshomaru thought that over for awhile.

"Okay….we'll figure something out…Keep us informed." Sesshomaru reminded him while disconnecting the speaker. There was no telling rather he'd get out alive, but he was a top agent, and they didn't die so easily. Sesshomaru looked up towards his brother who waited impatiently.

"So what?" He asked wanting to get some answers.

"So… we go on as scheduled. Friday marks the first day of high…"

"Bull shit, are you serious, we have to put agents up now. All of our shit's been exposed. Did you just hear what he said…?"

"We don't know that…" Sesshomaru said calmly, though it seemed extremely likely. Kikyo wasn't one to hold her tongue. "Besides there's nothing we can do. We have a new agent that needs to be trained."

Inuyasha shook his head in frustration. "That's not going to work…" He stated. "She knows, they're going to infiltrate us first. We have to start now…"

"We're not ready." Sesshomaru said sternly. It shut his brother up but didn't stop his frustration. There was a long pause of anger before Sesshomaru sighed. "Listen Kikyo has betrayed us. We don't have a lot of options. We need a top Miko."

He rolled his eyes in frustration "What we need is a secondary agent; A lacking Miko with some talent, we train her to the top for a few weeks. Starting fresh isn't going to put us anywhere. Kagome needs at least two months to get down the basics." Sesshomaru thought that over for awhile and seeing he had the floor he sat up. "Listen she's not focused, she's more concerned with being popular and going out into the city than training. We need to get up and attack now. I'm ready."

"You're ready, but no one else is. We'd need a lot of agents. We need at least several higher levels in order to take them down. We don't have that." Inuyasha sat back in his seat in frustration. "Listen I know how frustrated you are, but Kagome's are secret weapon. We need her more than ever now. No other agent has the potential she has…no matter how much we train them."

"So…" Inuyasha said suddenly. "What are we going to do?" Sesshomaru stood up from his spot. He turned lengthily towards the glass wall behind him. The city bellow was seen in a spectacular view. He searched his brain for a possible answer and as he approached one he turned to face his brother. This made him sit up in his seat. He was in complete alert but he could feel his concentration fading as he sensed Kagome. He turned towards the door and Sesshomaru did the same.

He could hear Kagome whispering certain instructions, but he couldn't make out what it was. As she got closer he tore himself from her aura to focus on Rin's as well. In only a split second a soft knock on the door could be heard. Inuyasha looked towards Sesshomaru who sat down in his seat before staying silent. It didn't take long till the door opened and in entered Kagome. She had her usual poise and an immaculate smile on her gorgeous face. She turned towards Sesshomaru's desk before setting eyes on him. Her smile grew slightly before fading as they rested on Inuyasha's. This amused him slightly and intrigued Sesshomaru.

This would usually upset Inuyasha, and he'd just dismiss himself, but today he felt the need to play it up. "Good morning." He said sarcastically causing her to eye him. They both knew it was well in the afternoon he was just trying to get under her skin. "You're up early… I missed you at training, I would have come up to check on you, but I thought maybe you were doing something really important, you know like shopping, doing your hair or reading gossip columns.

Kagome smile spun into an angered scowl before easily turning into a sarcastic grin. She lifted one eyebrow up and took a step forward. "Yup… I was in the middle of doing all of that, than I was reminded that I had training with you, so I took a break from it to fiddle my thumps and do my nails. You know what they say, priorities… priorities…" His sarcastic smile disappeared and he just glared toward her. She narrowed her eyes before focusing her attention on the very amused Sesshomaru. Her annoyance turned easily to charm. "I think Rin had something to tell you…" She said while backing up suddenly to reach the door. She left the room suddenly to fetch her giving Sesshomaru the time to look over at Inuyasha.

There was a slight pause before he decided to jump right into the topic. "Have you already…." He paused for a minute wanting his brother to fill in the blanks. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"She'd wish…" He murmured.

"Out of all the agents here, I'm sure she was first on your list."

"I'm not talking about this, I'm not talking about her." He rose up from his seat. "Tell me when she leaves and we'll talk real business."
