Chapter 24: The Transition is Completed
"Lupin…"
"Sesshomaru…"
"Didn't think the Order was planning on getting involved in this, what happened to the Ministry?" asked the stoic dog demon.
"You saw the Ministry last week, they cant even handle He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, they are currently running around like chickens with their heads chopped off." Said Lupin with a slight grin. Sesshomaru cracked a rare smile and pointed his gun at an ambassador that looked ready to mutiny. "So what do we do now Sesshomaru my dear friend?"
"We wait for my brother and his human friends to come, they know more about the situation that me, I was merely told to bring a sniper team here to…persuade the world leaders to listen and stick around. Did she contact you too?" asked Sesshomaru referring to Kagome.
"No, we sent her an owl saying we wished to join in on the fun. I haven't seen Inuyasha since he was a pup, how is he?" asked Lupin conversationally as if he wasn't pointing a wand at the ambassador of Iran.
"Still annoying as ever, but I'm learning to tolerate him. Father is thinking about having me and him run the corporation soon. I'd have to give up working for Japanese Intelligence." Said Sesshomaru, suddenly the sounds of multiple helicopters and cars pulling up were heard out side. Sesshomaru smirked. "They're here and they brought company…" The ambassadors looked at the unlocked door fearfully and suddenly the door slammed open and in walked a large group of people. The human ambassadors held hostage were surprised to see the missing ambassadors now walk in in their demon forms. The demon ambassadors joined the other ambassadors in the center of the room surrounded by the demons; they spared their co workers nervous smiles and looked up at the rest of the group that marched up to the elevated microphone and podium. The group consisted of Kagome, Inuyasha, and The President of the United States, Tony Blaire, Chirac, and Rufus Scrimgeour. Kagome went up to the speaker and waved at Sesshomaru and Lupin and the others of the Order present. The doors swung open again and in walked a FOX News crew and Sango and Lain. After they walked in Kagome ordered that the doors were to be locked. The news crew set up and Sango and Lain were given microphones and told they would start the broadcast. The FOX News station would then uplink the broadcast to the other news stations across the world. Kagome gave the nervous girls a wink of encouragement and then she turned to talk in hushed tones with the leaders; of the world, the Order, the Ministry, and Japanese Intelligence. The ambassadors, still clueless and a little irritated talked amongst themselves about this madness.
"We are brought to you live from the UN General Assembly where an important talk is about to take place which will decide the fates of the demons. The truth is about to be revealed to the world about the origins of the demons and what is to be done. It has just been reported that the riots have died down some in most parts of the world and is almost no existent in places like Japan, the U.S., and Britain. The number of deaths has not been released. On the scene, is Sango Taijyi, and Lain Ninamoto, tell us what is going on…" Juliet Introduced from FOX News Station.
Lain stood dumbfounded and Sango concealed her nervously quite well. "We are here at the UN General Assembly where Japanese Intelligence and the Order of the Phoenix have the ambassadors all together for this very important meeting…"
Lain gulped and spoke into the mic. "Senator Higurashi's daughter Kagome Higurashi, and FBI agent Inuyasha Takahashi will be speaking to the ambassadors any moment to explain the crisis and the origins of these demons. Others here are President Bush, Prime Minister Blaire, and Chirac of France. This discussion is vital when it comes to the course of action taken with the demons. It's starting…" Lain said as Inuyasha stood up to the mic and coughed to get everyone's attention.
"Most of you are probably wondering what the hell is going on. Well I'm going to tell you and then Kagome will tell you what we're gonna do about it. A long time ago demons existed and there were many problems between demons and humans. Priests and Priestesses discovered that demons with human like appearances like myself had the ability to have human emotions so they decided to help us and put concealment spells on all the human like demons.
So for then next couple centuries the spiritually gifted and the demons worked together to hide the secret, also helping was the wizarding community. Then a decade or two ago a ring was developed that made for easier concealment spells using technology. Unfortunately there is a satellite signal that can shatter the rings. A former computer hacker found this signal and hid the information in a collection of data that was put into the hands of the FBI, we lost this information and it was spread through out the web and unfortunately an evil demon named Naraku found it and used it to shatter all of the concealment rings on earth. That is what happened. We were so successful at hiding the demon race that not even 5 of the human population knew.
It is time to tell the world the truth, no more lies, which is why the Ministry of Magic has agreed to reveal themselves to the non magic world." Inuyasha paused to indicate Scrimgeour. "There are things in this world that could not be explained before because of the secrets that needed to be kept. Now upon request, any concealed websites on the web for those who aren't human or are not non magical will be released into the free web for public use. All governments in this world of ours must stop lying to the people because as seen by these riots across the world that nothing can be gained from hiding the truth from people, we must trust that people can learn to except each others differences. Now I give the podium to Kagome Higurashi…" Inuyasha stepped back and let the stunned audience let it sink in. Kagome gave him a nervous smile and stepped up to the mic.
"Hello, I am the one that instigated this meeting and brought everything together. Now—." Kagome was cut off by the ambassador of Saudi Arabia.
"How can you expect us to cooperate with you and go along with this lunacy when it is the demon's fault that this has happened? I say we kill the demons! They are nothing but monster!" the fellow middle eastern ambassadors seemed to agree with him and cheered him on. This seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back for Kagome because she looked miffed.
"You listen here; it would be in your best interest to listen to everything I have to say because we aren't talking about a dozen evil demons we're talking 20 of the worlds population!" When the same man looked about to protest she scoffed. "Besides, you'd have to kill off a good portion of your government leaders if you want to kill all the demons so you best watch your mouth and sit quietly like a good towel head." Kagome was shocked at her own words and the Order lowered their wands and stared at her stunned. Kagome blushed and looked back at Inuyasha who looked ready to bust out laughing. She rolls her eyes and turns back to the ambassadors. "Ok, you are all going to do everything in your power to stop this violence, you're gonna call up your government and tell them to put in safety precautions to protect the demons in your countries or—."
"Or what?" challenged the ambassador of North Korea.
Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Or we will call an immediate withdrawal of all demons and magical beings who wish to join them, they will evacuate to Japan from the countries that wont except them."
"Good Riddance!" shouted the ambassador of Russia.
"Fine, if you really don't care but so you know, 90 of the most successful people in the world are demons; you'll find it difficult to keep your economies afloat if you abandon them." Said Kagome idly. There was silence in the room.
"We don't really have a choice do we?" asked the ambassador or Russia.
Kagome grinned. "Not really."
Kofi Anan came up to the mic next to Kagome. "Who here agrees to follow Ms. Higurashi's instructions?" The ambassadors looked around at each other waiting for someone to say something.
"I do." Said Bolton for the United States, he stood up. The ambassadors of France, Britain, Spain, and the rest of Europe, and Kagome's grandfather the ambassador of Japan, stood as well in agreement. Soon all of the ambassadors present stood, even the Middle Eastern countries.
Kofi Anan turned to Kagome and nodded in agreement with the other ambassadors. "What do you want us to do?" he asked.
"What a rush!" Kagome breathed and flopped down on her bed. Inuyasha leaned against a dresser with his arms crossed and smiled at her slightly. Miroku and Sango stood watching the news and Lain sat on the bed next to Kagome's sprawled form. "I can't believe I spoke in front of all those people! I can sooo be a politician!" said Kagome happily.
"The fighting has died down and they are saying a majority of damages are injuries not deaths." Said Miroku.
"You did a good job talking to the Congressman Monk." Said Inuyasha with a smirk.
"Yeah, Kagome's note helped too. Man, I hope I never have to do that again, looking back on it now." Said Miroku.
"I cant believe that the Ministry of Magic decided to reveal themselves too. How did you know them Kagome?" asked Sango.
Kagome shrugged. "I have relatives that are pretty high up in the branch of the ministry in Japan. I've visited the Ministry in Britain before too it's kinda cool. Lupin and Sesshomaru seemed to know each other, what's up with that?" asked Kagome looking over at Inuyasha.
"There are other branches of the Order of the Phoenix too, Sessh just happens to be the leader of the branch in Japan, a side job you know, but he isn't a wizard, just a demon that works with them." Said Inuyasha. Kagome nodded and then sat up suddenly.
"We still need to get the jewel from Naraku!" Kagome gasped.
"Do not worry. We still have a chance of running into Naraku in the game because there are still some jewel shards out there not counting the ones Koga has." Lain said.
"Hmmm…I asked Bankotsu to release all the underground sites into the free web. He might need some help, Ill go see if he's online." Kagome got up and left to headquarters. Lain followed to help her. Miroku and Sango looked over at Inuyasha.
"I still cant believe we did that…" said Inuyasha.
"Kagome is just full of surprises isn't she?" said Miroku with a grin.
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss her when this case is over…" said Sango.
Inuyasha remained silent and stared down at his feet. "So…maybe we can convince her to take the FBI scholarship so she can work here and go to college…" suggested Miroku. Inuyasha thought about it and was just thinking that he still had a hope of seeing Kagome again when there was a knock at the door. They looked over to see Senator Higurashi there with a kindly face.
"I heard what you were saying and I don't really approve. My daughter got hurt while helping you all find this jewel. When you find thee jewel, I gain custody of her again and I will be sending her away to a boarding school." He saw the three young adults about to protest and intercepted them. "ah ah ah! It's already been decided. I'm not going to change my mind." Senator Higurashi walked away and left the three alone.
'Kagome's going away after this?' Inuyasha thought sadly. He felt his heart constrict in his chest and his emotions seared through him. He stomped out of the room angrily and went to his room.
