Kagome tugged on her chains for what felt like the thousandth time as she sat in the cold damp cell, getting a harsh zap from the sutras around her for her attempts. For some reason she was unable to summon her miko powers and was usually to out of it to fight much, she guessed it was due to the sparse food she was given as well as the sutras around her. As she pulled on the chains again she heard the sound of a metal door screaming open on rusted hinges followed by light footsteps as she was zapped by the sutras.
"Nice to see you awake, Kagome." Suzume said cheerfully as she kicked open Kagome's cell door and walked in with a tray of rice and fish as well as a jug of water. "Feeling talkative today?" Suzume asked her with a smile as Kagome glared at her, but did not speak.
"It's simple really, I want something and so do you. If we both give it to each other we're both even." Suzume said and sat down on the damp floor without flinching, setting the tray just of of reach of Kagome if she tried to grab it. "I think it's called equivalent exchange." The woman said calmly, oblivious to the deadly glare Kagome was giving her.
"There's nothing equivalent about giving up my child's life in exchange for my freedom. I'd die before I let that happen!" Kagome snapped and kicked her foot out at Suzume, knocking the tray away and scattering the food across the cell for the rats to have. Suzume frowned as she looked at Kagome with cold yellow eyes, as the sutras around the miko flashed erratically. "And besides, InuYasha isn't dead. He's alive and he will find me!" Kagome said with a smug surety that made Suzume snarl and lash out at the trapped miko, wrapping her hands around Kagome's neck and slamming her against the wall as the sutras around her flashed and shocked Kagome into screaming from pain.
"You're mate may be alive but he will never see you again!" Suzume hissed as Kagome's screams were chocked off, Suzume tightening her hold around the miko's neck. After a minute Kagome's eyes glazed over from a combination of pain and lack of air and Suzume dropped her to the ground in disgust, kicking the woman with the toe of her shoe before leaving the cage like cell, shutting the door with an echoing clang that resounded all around.

"What was that?" Kuwabara asked as he turned and looked behind him at the crowded street. Realizing their friend wasn't following, Yusuke and Kurama stopped and turned to look at the tall carrot head starring off into the distance.
"What is it Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked calmly and held up a relaxed finger to signal Hiei to alert them to anything dangerous in the area.
"I don't know. I just felt some kind of dangerous energy spike all of sudden before it vanished." Kuwabara told them and turned to look at them.
"Perhaps we should investigate?" Kurama asked, earning a nod from Yusuke who in turn looked at Kuwabara.
"Think you can lead us?" Yusuke asked as Hiei appeared next to the group. "Hiei, tell those idiots to follow at a distance and that we might have a lead." Yusuke told the silent boy, who nodded with a scowl before vanishing to deliver the message.
"Come on, it came from that direction." Kuwabara said and began leading them down a small alley, ignoring the glares and cowards in the space between buildings.
`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`.`
"Alright, I'll tell Lord Kouga. Thank you for the message." A wolf demon, disguised as an everyday policeman said to Hiei as he grabbed a walkie talkie to pass on the message.
"I suggest keeping at a distance. You'll find three of your pack two blocks from here in the alley unconscious." Hiei said absently and let a small grin touch his lips. "Next time I can't guarantee they'll be alive." He added before vanishing as the wolf demon began to growl and yell out orders to the few other 'officers' with him.
"Go get our men and keep an eye out for those Detectives. Give them their space but don't lose them!" The officer snapped, angry that a mere boy had managed to take out three members of Lord Kouga's pack.

"Why do I need this again?" InuYasha asked as we sat in Sesshoumaru's penthouse with him, his mate, and a jewel demon that made concealment charms.
"You see, Lord InuYasha, these days it is against the laws to walk among humans without a human guise." The demon said with a shaky voice as he fiddled with a box of gems.
"I've done it before." InuYasha argued and growled when Kagura hit him on the head with a fan while slipping Masaru into his arms. "Dammit Kagura! Will you stop that?" He snapped, making Masaru laugh and clap his hands together while Shippo and I took the chance to snag a small box at the jewel demon's feet.
"Be nice, Hikaru has been making concealment charms for two hundred years." Kagura said as the case lifted itself up out of Shippo's hands and out of our reach. "You two, stop taking the boxes or I will pin you both to the wall." She said as I glared at her while Shippo groaned.
"It will help you find your mate." Sesshoumaru said suddenly appearing near the doorway, making me jump while Shippo simply looked over at him with a smile.
"Hey Sesshoumaru!" Shippo greeted as I crossed my legs and arms, ignoring the oversized jacket I still wore.
"Hidden by a charm, you will be able to move freely among the humans and easily find your mate." Sesshoumaru told InuYasha before his eyes fell on me. It took everything in me not to move or look away from him as our eyes met.
"What are you thinking about?" I heard InuYasha growl before feeling him left me up off of the ground.
"Hey! Put me down! I am not a toy!" I yelled as I squirmed in InuYasha's grasp, being completely ignored by said man and everyone else. Turning my head to glare back at InuYasha, I growled at him and tugged on his claws. "Down!" I barked and bit back a smile when InuYasha looked at me with a touch of surprise before slowly setting me down on my feet.
"A word, InuYasha." Sesshoumaru said as I tried to run off only to choke slightly when InuYasha didn't let go and I nearly pulled my own feet out from beneath me.
"...Stay here." InuYasha said after a minute, letting me go and turning to look at Shippo as I jumped onto the squishy chair that Hitomi called a bean bag. "Watch the pups, Shippo." InuYasha commanded and started towards Sesshoumaru, who led him out of the pent house and into the elevator.
"Lady Kagura, shall I make a set of charms for Lord InuYasha and his pack?" The jewel demon Hikaru asked calmly, his nervous fidgeting gone now that InuYasha was gone.
"Yes, I expect them done and here tomorrow morning. You're payment has already been delivered." Kagura said in the same voice as Sesshoumaru, making me shiver slightly at the tone while Shippo did the same.
Twenty minutes later I was trying to escape Shippo's hold while hiding halfway behind a massive bookcase as he pulled on my ankles.
"Let go!" I yelled as he gave another hard tug and made my fingers slip.
"No!" Shippo yelled back as I head Masaru laugh while I somehow managed to free a foot long enough to kick my older brother in the face. "That's it!" Shippo yelled and with one harsh yank, pulled me completely out of my hiding spot and flying into the side of the couch. I barely registered the change before I was rolling around on the floor trying to pin Shippo as we knocked into something tall and solid before going the other way.
"Fur ball!" I yelled at him as he shoved me off of him and managed to completely pin me to the floor.
"Rat!" He snapped back as I shoved at his chest, absently noting the muscles I could now feel beneath his new shirt.
"Like you're one to talk!" I snapped back as I continued to try and escape his hold while he calmly sat down on my stomach and crossed his arms, ignoring my fists as I pounded on his legs.
"Says the one who's pinned!" He said back with a cocky smirk as I glared at him and wiggled enough to bring a leg up and hit him from behind hard enough for him to lean forward. Taking the chance I grabbed his shirt and pulled as fast and hard as I could, rolling him over me and allowing me to get out from beneath him.
"Ha! How's that?" I yelled at him and took off again, using the couch as a stepping stone to flip into the kitchen.
"Gotcha!" Shippo yelled as he tackled me around the waist from behind, sending us both crashing into the floor and rolling again, this time hitting the table and chairs and causing several loud crashes.
"Not so fast!" Shippo yelled as I started to escape him again, managing to get up long enough to knock something heavy off of the counter and down onto the floor causing a massive explosion of fine white powder that made us both cough and sneeze.
"What is going on in here?" I heard InuYasha yell as I blinked and tried to clear my eyes while Shippo continued to gag on the fine white powder that burned our noses.
"He...did...it!" I said between coughs and kicked my foot out at Shippo as he growled and tackled me again.
"I didn't!" He yelled as we went back at it, both of rolling and crashing into chairs and cabinets.
"Enough!" Kagura yelled as a blast of wind hit us and sent us flying into two different parts of the room. "Both of you will stop fighting and clean up this kitchen! I want it spotless!" She yelled angrily, making me mentally gulp at the dangerous aura around the woman as she held a fan in her hand and glared at us while InuYasha stood behind her looking stunned.
"If either of you start fighting again I will put you both in the most ridiculous outfits imaginable and take you to the most crowded part of the city! Do I make myself clear?" Kagura asked and we both nodded from our respective spots in the kitchen. "Did I stutter?" Kagura asked with a growl and immediately, Shippo and I both raced to try and clean up the white kitchen that was once grey and white.
"She can be really scary." I whispered to Shippo softly as I found a broom and started to sweep up the white powder, trying not to breath in all of it as Shippo used his tail to sweep off the counters.
"You have no idea!" Shippo whispered back with a shiver before we both went silent and back to work.

"So Kagura is..." InuYasha started as he watched Sesshoumaru's mate teach his two oldest pups how to make cookies a few hours later.
"Yes." Sesshoumaru said calmly as he sipped on a glass of expensive wine and watched the trio in the kitchen as Shippo managed to snag a bit of cookie dough without being seen by the wind demon and his younger sister.
"You're not as much an ice prick as I thought!" InuYasha said with amusement as he carefully adjusted Masaru in his arms, letting the toddler lay against his chest more comfortably as Sesshoumaru growled a warning to his younger brother.
"At least I do not have need for a collar, little brother." Sesshoumaru said in a calm tone a minute later, taking a sip of his wine as InuYasha tried to sputter an insult. "Setsuna and Kouga may have discovered a lead on Kagome. The Detectives have proven useful." Sesshoumaru said after a few minutes of silence.
"About damn time." InuYasha growled while absently rubbing soothing circles on Masaru's back. "I'm going to that Kyoto place tonight." He added in a low voice, his eyes not once leaving Shippo and Akari as Kagura gave Akari a small spoonful of cookie dough to roll into a ball and place on a metal sheet.
"You will find use of this then." Sesshoumaru said and tossed InuYasha a single loop of shiny steel chain that would easily fit on his wrist. "It is better than what Kagura would have had you wear." Sesshoumaru said as InuYasha gave his brother a soft smile and nod while slipping it on, changing his hanyo appearance to his human one.
"Impressive," InuYasha commented offhandedly before slipping the charm off and putting it in his sleeve for later. As much as he had matured he still thought he could get away with not wearing the charm for a while.
"You will also need clothing. I have sent for a servant to lay out something suitable as well as a map and address for you to meet Kouga at." Sesshoumaru told him as he turned his eyes to look at the muted TV near them.
"You knew I'd do this the whole time didn't you?" InuYasha said with a scowl as his brother looked at him from the corner of his eyes. "Thanks, I guess. You're just full of surprises." InuYasha said as he rubbed the back of his head in confusion.
"It would be wise to leave your Robe of the Fire Rat here. I do not wish to listen to the cries of a pup missing their parent." Sesshoumaru said in his normal tone as InuYasha smirked but nodded his head in agreement.
"Alright, I'll leave once they're all asleep. Which shouldn't be long if Kagura keeps hitting Shippo like that and tiring out Akari." InuYasha said calmly as the sound of laughter echoed through the penthouse while Kagura scolded Shippo for eating the cookie dough.
