Chapter 12 Found

Once the group was packed and ready. Resuri took the lead. "I will be staying back for awhile." Alex told the group. "I fear the army is closer then before. Plus I need to handle some extra things back at my office, it's time to settle down with my family and stop fighting this war."

"Be careful my mate." Resuri told him. He gave her a smile, then kissed her lips before telling her to get the group moving.

Inuyasha felt he too should stay behind, but Kagome wasn't in any condition to be on her own just yet. So picking his mate up, InuYasha was off as well carrying Kagome close.

"It won't be long now, once we make it out of this area we can travel underground." Resuri told them as they walked along.

Akihiko sighed, all he wanted to do was get somewhere safe. He felt his blood start to boil. 'Dammit! Why do I feel like I'm losing my mind?' Akihiko thought looking at Hailee. 'Is it the fear of something happening to her that has my blood boiling like this?'

He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Glancing over he saw Hailee looking at him. He could tell she saw the worry in his eyes. "What is it Akihiko, why are you so on edge?"

Knowing he couldn't just stop and talk to her. He decided to just take her hand. "I'm okay Hailee. Just some bad thoughts."

She knew part of what he was saying was true. But it still hurt to see him this way.

Alex had succeeded in making his way back to the station. Fixing his tie, he finally made it to his office. One of his secretaries had come into the room with a few letters. Most of the letters were from days ago. It wasn't new to the people working in his office though. After all he was an under cover cop a lot of times.

"It's good to see you back in one piece sir." His secretary Mary said, handing him the letters.

He gave her a smile. "Yes it is Mary, there are times I wonder if I will make it back at all."

Mary smiled back, then left him to his work.

Alex went through his paperwork on his desk. Suddenly an envelope stopped him. It was from the amry. Fear rose in Alex as he went for the envelope. Once he finished reading the letter he cursed. "Damn, those bastards. Why can't they just give up?"

Hearing her boss swear caused Mary to then return. "Something wrong?"

Alex was rubbing his forehead when Mary entered. "No, it's nothing Mary. I'll just be leaving again. Sooner then I thought that's all. Sadly I fear I will not be returning."

"Oh?" She said, guessing this next assignment might be really dangerous.

"This next assignment might get the best of me. You know what to do if I don't return." Mary nodded and left.

As Alex went through his files. He picked out certain files and cases. As he worked to rid his files of different things. The army was closing in.

The group had made camp for the day in a very well wooded area. Kagome was doing much better, and InuYasha was in better spirits too. Kagome was sitting in her husbands lap, while eating a small sandwich. InuYasha couldn't help but feel like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. Even though he knew they were far from being safe.

Hailee still stayed clear of InuYasha. She stayed close to Akihiko, knowing she was safest with him. She knew InuYasha didn't care for her, after all it was because of her that all this was happening.

Akihiko knew Hailee was blaming herself for all of this. So he scooped her up in his arms. He could feel the glares from his father, so he left to somewhere private. Hailee was surprised by Akihiko's actions, but soon relaxed in his hold.

Akihiko stayed close to the camp. So sitting down against a tree trunk, he set her down on his lap. "Hailee, I really wish you'd stop blaming yourself."

After his words Hailee just stared into his eyes. "Well Akihiko, I don't see how this can't be, after all this happened because I fe..."

Akihiko stopped her with a passionate kiss. "No Hailee, that's not true. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. So don't go thinking any of this is your fault."

Hailee gave him a smile back. "Thank-you Akihiko, and you know what? I feel in love with you the moment I saw you to Akihiko."

Hailee's cheeks started to turn red and soon so were Akihiko's cheeks. Time seemed to stop for them both, and soon her arms wrapped around his neck. His arms brought her closer and soon their lips were tasting each other.

As the kiss grew more intense. Akihiko hands traveled up Hailee's sides pulling her closer to him. Suddenly a twig snapped behind them, causing them to freeze. Neither spoke. And soon they could make out more foot steps, and a shiver went up her spine.

Akihiko held Hailee close to him, his fears rising as he heard the foot steps getting closer. And then all hell broke loose.
