Silver Beast: Secret Society

As promised, Inuyasha picked Kagome up from her house around 4:00 pm. After a peck on the lips from his woman, he laced his fingers with hers on the arm rest and drove them out of the Reservation. It took them little over 45 minutes to get to the Secret Society's Western Canadian Embassy. Not wanting humans to uncover their secret operation, the Embassy hid itself in plain sight. Disguised as a golfer's club, no one would suspect that under the putting green was a hidden world full of fairytale creatures. To gain access to the underground Embassy you had to show a special permit at the gated entrance. There the watchmen would alert someone inside of your arrival. Once through the gates an undercover agent from the Society would meet you at the front door. They would then escort you to a private meeting room in the basement. After making certain no one was following you, they would press a secret compartment on the wall.

A hidden walkway would open allowing them free range of the Secret Society underneath. To avoid looking suspicious, members of the Society were required to follow the club's dress code. In other words, you couldn't just show up to the golfer's club wearing sweatpants, jeans or a t-shirt. You had to appear like you were there to either golf with friends, to gamble at the bar or eat at the private banquet hall. It was imperative for Society members to pretend like they were members of the golfer's club. If they didn't act like the human's, the Society would risk being exposed. Once Kagome and Inuyasha passed through the hidden doorway, the agent, disguised as a waiter closed it behind them. The only way out was for the underground Society to contact someone from above ground. It was imperative their operation remained a secret. If any human discovered their location they either had their memories erased or were removed indefinitely.

As Kagome and Inuyasha walked deeper underground they passed by various departments of operation. The Embassy went beyond just security and politics. The underground bunker functioned as a tiny city. There were hotels for members to stay in, law offices to handle legal affairs, offices to rent, banks to access loans and investments, insurance agencies, cell phone companies, restaurants and even a shopping mall with a fully operating movie theater and bowling alley to use. There was also the Chamber of Secrets for higher ranking members of the Society to gather, a University, a security firm, fully functional hospital, gym, pharmacy, retirement village and medical clinic for members to use. Everything a Society member could need or want was safely hidden here underground. Because the underground city was so large a small subway was available for them to use. Not wanting to be late, they hopped on the train to the clinic.

"How can I help you?" said the secretary at the clinic's front desk.

"I'm here to get some blood drawn." Inuyasha said as he signed his name on the check in sheet.

"Let me see here..." said the secretary as she typed his name into the database. She smiled brightly when his file popped up on her computer screen. "Ah ha! Here we are. It looks like your insurance and payment has already been filed into our system. I just need you to update your medical history. Your doctor will need that during your appointment."

"I figured as much. It's been a while since I last visited." Inuyasha said as he took the clipboard from her hands. "How long do you think my appointment will take?"

"You're only giving blood correct?" The secretary asked as Inuyasha began flipping through the form.

"Yeah." Inuyasha nodded as he struggled to steady the clipboard in his hands while he wrote.

"Then your appointment shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes or so." The secretary said as she tried not to laugh at his obvious frustration. "Your wait shouldn't be too much longer. Your appointment is located in Unit B3. If you follow that hallway there it's the third room on the left."

"Thank you." Kagome giggled as she forced her boyfriend to walk down the hall. Much to Kagome's amusement even after sitting down in one of the waiting chairs didn't help him steady the clipboard any better. "Need help?"

"No." Inuyasha grouched as he flipped to the last page.

His heart leapt into his throat when he realized the entire top section was asking about his sex life. It wanted to know how sexually active he was and if he had any sexually transmitted diseases. He hated having to answer questions like this.

- FIVE MONTHS AGO

- HELL NO

Satisfied with his answers he continued on with the questions.

"Fuck..." Inuyasha inwardly cursed when the question, "Do you have any children? If so, state how many and their ages" came up.

"You ok?" Kagome asked when she noticed how ridged he'd gotten. She blinked in confusion when he jumped at the question.

"I'm fine wench. Stop being so nosey!" Inuyasha huffed as he turned away from her to hide his answers. Knowing he needed to be honest he wrote down the best answer he could.

- UNKNOWN

"Mr. Taisho?" called a nurse from the doorway.

"That's me." Inuyasha said as he quickly rose from his seat.

"If you could follow me please." the nurse said just as Inuyasha noticed Kagome following him. "Do you mind waiting here? The doctor might need to ask me some personal questions."

"Oh, uh sure!" Kagome nodded as she reluctantly sat back down.

She was confused by Inuyasha's behavior. He'd been the one to ask her to come. He'd been the one to complain about not wanting to wait in the waiting room by himself. Why was he acting so strange? Why did he drag her along if he was going to act like this? Could it be that Inuyasha was afraid of needles? The idea of her big, strong werewolf lover being afraid of a tiny needle was comical. Could it really be true?

"Your husband is offaly jumpy." said a heavily pregnant rabbit demoness sitting close by.

"Boyfriend actually." Kagome corrected her as she reached for a home decorating magazine. "He's normally petty chill. I don't know why he's acting like this."

"Is it your first?" the rabbit demon asked.

"Our first what?" Kagome blinked in confusion.

"Your first pup!" the rabbit giggled as she rubbed over her large pregnant belly. "I remember how anxious and overprotective my mate was during our first litter. Thankfully he's mellowed out over the years."

"Oh, no! You've got it all wrong. I'm not pregnant." Kagome giggled sympathetically. "He's here to give blood for some tests."

"Give blood? I didn't realize they did blood work here." the rabbit demoness frowned as she thought over what Kagome said.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked. "Isn't this the Clinic?"

"It is, but this is the maternity unit." the rabbit demoness said, catching Kagome's attention. "Usually they do that kind of testing at the hospital."

"Weird..." Kagome frowned as she thought over what the rabbit demon said. "Maybe these tests are specialized? All I know is that Inuyasha had to get them done. His brother is the one who set up the appointment."

"I see." The rabbit demon said just as another nurse came into the waiting room.

"Mrs. Digger? You can come on back." the nurse said as she held open the door.

"It was nice meeting you." Mrs. Digger said as she slowly got to her feet.

"You too, and good luck!" Kagome smiled as she watched the overly rounded woman walk towards the nurse.

"Thanks, I'll need it since I'm carrying six boys." Mrs. Digger said, making Kagome laugh.

"No kidding!" Kagome giggled as she waved Mrs. Digger goodbye.

While Kagome waited for Inuyasha to come out of his appointment she looked around the maternity unit. She loved the mural painted on the wall of a happy couple holding their new born baby. It made her wonder what her own children would look like and if maybe they might be Inuyasha's. He'd said he wasn't looking for anything serious but he also didn't want to let her go. What if he did end up being her life mate? Would he be able to put aside his fears of commitment and settle down with her? Would he want kids and if so how many? She'd always dreamed of having a little girl. Would he want that life with her too?

"Ready to go wench?" Inuyasha said as he came into the waiting room.

"Huh? Oh, yeah!" Kagome said as she pulled her attention away from the mural. She blushed when she felt her stomach growl.

"Want to grab something to eat while we're here?" Inuyasha smirked knowingly.

"Sure!" Kagome smiled as she laced her hand in his. "I'm kinda in the mood for ramen."

"Really? Me too." Inuyasha said as they walked out of the clinic. "There's a little ramen shop just around the corner from here. If we get there now we might beat the dinner rush."

"Sounds great!" Kagome smiled as she followed after him.

Kagome loved the little Ramen shop. The walls were covered in anime memorabilia and had some of the best ramen she'd ever eaten. Seeing how Inuyasha scarfed down two bowls with little effort, it was quickly decided that this restaurant would be their go-to place anytime they had to go to the Embassy. Kagome would have loved to stay and visit the Embassy a little longer but the golfer's club up on the ground level was about to close for the day. This made it imperative for them to make their way upstairs.

"Shoot, we're going to miss the train." Inuyasha cursed as he fished out his credit card from his wallet. "Do you mind going to that machine across the street to buy our train tickets? While you do that I'll pay for our food."

"Of course not." Kagome said as she took his card. "Where do you want me to meet you?"

"Right outside the shop." Inuyasha said as he went to pay for their dinner.

Knowing they needed to go Kagome quickly exited the ramen shop and rushed across the street. She'd just purchased the tickets and was about to race back when she accidentally bumped into someone. The impact caused her to stumble and drop both of their tickets and Inuyasha's credit card.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Kagome apologized as the dark haired man bent down to pick up her card and tickets.

"No problem." the dark haired man said as he handed Kagome the dropped items.

Kagome gasped when she accidentally touched the man's hand. It felt cold as ice and was pale like snow. When she looked up at the man she was greeted by the sight of a slim handsome face, long black hair, dark eyebrows and ruby red eyes. All of Kagome's seerer instincts went on full alert when she saw the man smirk. There was no mistaking those pointed k-9's for anything else but fangs. He was the nightmare of demons, the seducer of women, the arch enemy of werewolves and the silent killer in the night. This gorgeous, intimidating man was a vampire. She could tell that this vampire liked the smell of her fear when his nostrils flared. Not wanting him to get any funny ideas about sucking her blood, she quickly made her escape. She still had a few weeks left until her powers fully developed. She'd be doomed if this vampire decided to hunt her before she was fully ready. She was extremely grateful for a werewolf boyfriend at the moment. If anyone could keep her safe, it would be him.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome panted as she rushed to his side at the register.

"Kagome? What's wrong?" Inuyasha frowned as she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. His frown darkened when he realized she was shaking.

"There was a man." Kagome gulped as she looked up at him with wide terrified eyes. "I-I think he was a vampire."

"A vampire? Did he hurt you?" Inuyasha growled as he instantly started sniffing her. His blood ran cold when a familiar scent filled his nose.

"No, he didn't hurt me." Kagome shook her head as Inuyasha pulled her tighter against him. "but I think he wanted to."

"Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have brought you here." Inuyasha snarled as he looked out the window. "Now you're in danger."

His back went ridged when a familiar face stared back at him from across the street. There was no mistaking this pale red eyed monster for anyone else but,

"Naraku..." Inuyasha growled causing Kagome to gasp and tremble against him in fear.
