A/N I am sorry for the late update. I have had so little time to write with my job. And my muse has been coming and going. Also I am sorry for any spelling mistakes. My computer, likes to correct my already checked and proofed work. I have no idea why. I think it just hates me.

Kagome sat at a table, in what looked to be an interrogation room. Director Fury sat in front of her and another Agent stood in front of the door, as if they expected her to make a run for it. Placing her hands on the table she waited for the game they were playing to end. She smiled mentally as Director Fury started to grow annoyed that his game of staying silent until she cracks was not working the way he wanted it to.

"What is your connection to the Avengers?" Director Fury placed his clasped hands on the table. Kagome raised her brow in the question.

"Why does it matter, better yet what is it to you?"

"It matters to me because they are my agents."

"Last I checked Tony, Pepper and Rhodey where not, and I thought that Tony was only a consultant."

Director Fury glared at the girl as she smiled at him, he knew that she had him there. Those three were not his agents and Tony was just a consultant.

"The others are my agents Ms. Higurashi and I want to know what your connection to them is."

"Well I just meet your agents. I was at Stark tower because Pepper called me and told me that she needed help with Tony so I came. And before you ask, I have known Tony and Rhodey since M.I.T and I met Pepper when she became Tony's PA. Is that all?" Kagome smirked as she saw the man glare at her harder.

Agent Hill crossed her arms as she took in the girl that Fury as interrogation, the girl seemed to be to calm for one in a situation that she was in. Which put her on edge. She wanted to enter the room and interrogate the girl herself but Fury had told her to stay and watch through the window.

"No it's not, why do we have so little information on you, for one that was in M.I.T why were your high school grades so low? Why do you have so many missed days and ridiculous illnesses on your file?"

Kagome raised a brow at the question. She knew he would bring it up but it still amused her that the illnesses were on her file.

"Well Director Fury, I grew up on a shrine, when I turned fifteen I had shrine duties to do, my grandfather being who he was like to make things up to see what he could get away with. And I got into M.I.T because if you look I was actually really good at school. I just had to make up all the work I missed. Now is that all?"

Fury narrowed his eye at the woman before standing up. Placing his hands behind his back he walked towards the door, turning his head so he could look over his shoulder at Kagome.

"For now yes, but you will be under watch and if there is anything you are hiding I will find out. And Tony won't be able to save you. Nor will the Colonel for that matter." And with that he walked out of the room. To where Agent Hill was, they watched the woman in the room shake her head and run a hand through her hair before she looked over to the window where they were, giving them a wave she walked out of the room to walk back to Stark Tower.

Everyone in the tower was tense, it was now dark out and Kagome still was not back from being interrogated by S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony and Rhodey were already planning ways to get Kagome out if she was not back in the next hour, while Clint and Natasha had already formulated a plan to get her. Thor was trying to understand why his father had forsaken Kagome the way he had, and was trying to understand why Captain of all things America had called Director Fury. Bruce and Pepper were making supper for the team, while they waited for Kagome to come back. Steve sat on a chair that was across from Shippo, who was glaring at him. None of them heard the door to the room open.

"Well then so much for a warm welcome." Kagome said shaking all of them out of their thoughts. Shippo ran up to Kagome and checked her over to make sure there wasn't a hair out of place. Seeing how it wasn't just a quick once over she started to shoo him away.

"Relax, I'm fine. Shippo. I am fine." Kagome said as she pushed Shippo back into the room so she could walk over to where Steve sat. Everyone in the room tensed as they did not know what to expect from her.

"Steve" Kagome said in a soft voice causing the man to look up at her. Steve looked up at Kagome and saw that she was smiling at him which confused him.

"I understand why you called me in, you just wanted to make sure your team. No your family was safe, because you don't know me as well as Tony, Pepper or Rhodey so it's understandable. I would have done the same. Now I'm hungry. And stop feeling guilty I don't blame you, and neither should the others, as they would have done the same. Also ignore Shippo his bark is worse than his bite most days." Kagome said causing the others to laugh as they heard Shippo cry out in protest.

The team sat down for dinner. Kagome sat next to Rhodey and Thor. While Rhodey had Clint on his other side. Both he and Kagome were glad that Tony was sitting across from them. They sat in silence for a while until Thor decided to break it.

"Lady Kagome I apologize on my father's behalf for-"

"No Thor don't apologize on his behalf, if you do, then it would mean that he refuses to admit his wrongs and sends someone else to do it for him. The apology you wish to give can only be given by him, not you, Loki or your mother. Although I do appreciate the jester, really I do. But Thor do not ever apologize for someone else's wrong doings for it is their burden to bear and not yours." Kagome said as she gave the God a smile knowing that he did truly mean the apology he was trying to give. Thor smiled and nodded his head, seeing the reason in what she said.

"Agreed Lady Kagome I shall no more apologize on their behalf."

Shaking her head she went back to eating. The others also saw the reason in what she said, although most of them do not apologize for any action that's not their own, except for Tony's.

"Kages did you manage to get what you wanted to from Hell? We didn't see you with it when you came in?" Tony asked as he sat back in his seat, his arm draped around Peppers chair so his arm was around her shoulder. Both she and Rhodey winced slightly at the sight which didn't go unnoticed by Clint and Natasha. Said Assassins shared a look and agreed to corner them later and ask about it.

"I did get it Tony, I just made sure that Fury wouldn't see it. Anyway I am going to bed for the night, it's been a long day I'll show you the sword in the morning." Kagome stood up and left the room. The others stared at her back.

Tony looked at Rhodey who was looking at the food on his plate. He narrowed his eyes.

"Why is she upset Rhodey?"

Rhodey looked up at Tony in shock, the others kept quiet knowing that the fight that was about to happen would be bound to happen around them or when they were gone. Pepper looked over at Rhodey trying to gauge his reaction and saw that he was upset with Tony, more than she had ever seen him before.

Rhodey slowly stood up from his seat, and looked at Tony with narrowed eyes, "I wouldn't know Tony, as I am not her keeper. Just because we happen to be together does not mean I make her tell me what she is doing or think every minute of the day. Kagome is her own person and strong willed at that. If she is upset then she will tell me when she is ready. And I have a few guesses as to why she is, but none of them you need to hear." Rhodey moved around the table so he stood in front of Tony and leaned down so he was looking him in the eyes. "And if you ever try to get any information out of either of us about our relationship or why and when we got together your suit will not be able to save you."

With that James Rhodes walked out of the room. Tony started at the man's back in shock.

"Anyone know what I did to piss him off?" He asked looking around hoping someone would have an idea. Shippo looked at the man and took pity on him for a moment.
"I believe it was when Pepper insinuated that he would hurt her and you didn't stand up for him by saying that he would never harm her. And he won't seeing as he never has and has been there for her when her heart was breaking into pieces." Shippo spoke as he leaned back in his chair, smiling as everyone turned to look at him in question especially Tony. "Or at least that's I think but I don't know him as well as you do. But I do know Kagome better then you could ever hope to, so I have more insight than you do. Then again I could just be screwing with you and be lying about the whole thing." Shippo shrugged his shoulders and got up, as he left the room he smiled.

Rhodey found Kagome in her room looking out the window, her arms wrapped around herself. Walking up to her he embraced her from behind. Resting his chin on her shoulder he stared out the window with her. Both lost in their thoughts. They stayed like this for a few hours so lost in their thoughts that they didn't hear the air vent open and close or the door open and shut. It wasn't until a voice rang out that they snapped back into reality.

"We know."

The worlds that were spoken make both Kagome and Rhodey freeze, their eyes widened at the thought of people knowing what they've managed to keep hidden for years.

"Know what?" Kagome hoped it wasn't what she fear it was.

"That you both are in love with two other people. While in love with each other." Clint spoke gauging their reaction, seeing them relax he knew that both he and Natasha were right.

"What Clint was trying to say is that we know you both love Stark." Natasha spoke as she walked forward to stand beside Clint. Both of them noticed how Kagome and Rhodey stiffened at what was said.

Sighing Kagome moved to sit on the bed, Rhodey followed. Natasha and Clint moved to sit on the window seat that was in the room. They sat in silence for a few moments before Kagome broke the silence.

"How long have you known and how did you find out?" Kagome asked, looking at Natasha, she had a feeling that Natasha had found out first and told Clint about her suspicions.

"Well I knew that you and Rhodey are sleeping together when I first saw you two interact. I then i had a suspicion while you were talking about Pepper not being able to let herself get burned. I found out that I was right the night of the phone call, when I saw you three curled up in bed while Pepper was in the chair, though I had no idea that Rhodey loved Tony until Clint told me." Natasha said as she looked at the two in question both seemed relatively shocked that someone had found out that they have feelings for the annoying genius which was not hard to believe. They were good at hiding it.

"Okay I get how you found out about Kagome, being a trained spy and all, no offence. But how did Barton find out about me?" Rhodey asked as he placed a hand on Kagome's knee squeezing it lightly, as to let her know that he was there for her.

"I found out that you and Rhodey are together the same time Nat did. But it wasn't until this morning when we found you and Rhodey curled up sleeping together, and the look of hurt Rhodey has whenever he sees Tony with his arm around Pepper, although most people would assume that he was in love with Pepper and not Tony." Clint told them as he looked at Rhodey, and saw a look of pain that flashed so quickly through his eyes that he was sure that if he wasn't trained to see those things he would have missed it.

Kagome nodded her head, seeing that if those two could see that she loves Tony then Director Fury must have picked up on it as well.

"If you two could pick up on it, do you think that Fury has picked up on it as well?" Kagome voiced her thoughts and noticed that Rhodey must have been thinking the same thing based off the nod of his head.

Clint and Natasha looked at each other with a raised brow and shook their heads. "Na he only met you once and let me tell you, he isn't really into being observant when it comes to Stark's love life." Clint spoke. Kagome and Rhodey relaxed slightly at what Clint said, both realized that it made sense. The man hated Tony too much to pay attention to his love life.

"How long have you two been together?" Clint asked as he thought back to how they both seemed to relax around the other.

"We got together before he met Pepper and took over the company. He was throwing one of his parties, that he used to throw constantly." Rhodey said, with a small smile. "We've been with each other ever since, we know that each of us have feelings for Tony and we know that; that will probably never change nor will he ever see us in that light so we are happy with what we have with the other. But officially it's been five years." Kagome said looking at Rhodey who nodded his head in confirmation. Clint's jaw dropped, Natasha shook her head at Clint, she had figured that the two had been together that long, judging by the way the acted around each other.

Kagome raised her brow at Clint's reaction while Rhodey shook his head, giving a smile as she looked at the two. When Clint saw the smile he froze, he knew the smile, Natasha gives him similar one. "Promise not to tell?"

Natasha raised her brow in turn before nodding her head.

"It's not our place to tell."

"Hey we finally know something that Stark and Fury don't, no way I'm going to spill the beans." Clint said a smile rising on his face, Natasha reached over and smacked him upside the head. Which caused Kagome to laugh at Clint's glare and rubbing of his head.

"Well I'm going to put on a movie you three wish to join me?" Kagome asked as she made her way to where her TV was,

"Sure"

"Oh yes invite the mortals in, let them know the details of your love life. 'we won't tell'. Screw that. If they tell I'll unleash hell. Is what you should have said."

Kagome raised a brow at what So'unga said and shook her head. Rhodey stiffened and looked around not knowing where the voice came from. While Clint and Natasha having met the sword promptly ignored him. Well Natasha did.

"I like you. Kagome I like him." Clint said to Kagome while looking around for the sword. Natasha shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose while Kagome just shook her head. As she watched Rhodey and Clint try to find the sword.

"You think they realize that I have it?"

"No,"

"Those lousy mortals are too dim witted to realize that. What is it with you and dimwits? First the dog, now it's this one?"

Kagome gave a laugh at So'ungas comment, but she froze slightly when he mentioned Inuyasha. Rhodey hearing the voice moved over to where Kagome and Natasha stood. Clint glared at the sword from where he stood behind Rhodey.

"Kages where is the voice coming from."

"I am not a dimwit."

Natasha sighed once more before looking over at Kagome.

"I think it's best if Clint and I leave, we will take a rain check on the movie." Kagome nodded as she watched Natasha drag Clint out of the room. Looking back at Rhodey she moved so So'unga was visible to him.

"Rhodey this is So'unga the sword of hell."

Rhodeys eyes widened when So'ungas eye opened to look at him.

Kagome woke to the sound of arguing and sighed. She slowly made her way into the main room to find the rest of the towers inhabitants watching Tony, Steve and surprisingly Rhodey hash it out. Giving another sigh, she ignored everyone trying to tell her to stop and continued to where the coffee machine was, which just happened to be behind the three arguing men. 'children' she thought as she got closer to them.

Rhodey saw her coming and immediately looked behind him and saw the coffee machine and quickly moved so he wasn't in her way. While Tony and Steve just continued completely unaware of what danger may come from getting in her way.

Tony stepped back and heard something shatter as his back hit something soft yet solid. Feeling a glare he slowly turned his head and froze when he saw that he had backed it to Kagome. He looked down to see what had shattered and he gulped. Her coffee cup was now on the floor in pieces, no longer holding the coffee. Slowly looking up at he he turned around and raised his hands, taking a step back he walked into Steve.

"Tony."

"Now Kages, it was an accident, I can make you another cup"

Kagome glared at him as she walked forward, and watched as he side stepped Steve and try walk towards Pepper and Rhodey.

"That was my coffee"

"Let's be reasonable now, it wasn't my fault it was Steve's" Tony said while pointing his finger at Steve, who in turn raised his brow.

Kagome advanced on him and narrowed her eyes. "Oh so you just magically happened to appear in front of me instead of Steve, now Tony let's be reasonable, you walked into me, you made me drop my coffee. You. Tony. Are. Dead."

Tony tried to hide behind Rhodey but he only moved out of the way, causing Tony to hide behind Pepper, who took pity on him and looked at Kagome.

"Kagome it's just coffee get a new cup." Tony looked at the woman like she was insane. And hissed "Pepper you're going to get us killed,"

Kagome stopped and looked at Pepper, Rhodey turned his head to look at the woman beside him as well, the other Avengers having no idea what was going on other than Tony had made Kagome drop her cup, looked on in amusement until they saw Kagome freeze. Shippo quietly made his way to stand closer to his mother, he knew that Pepper may have just said the wrong thing based on the look that was on Kagome's face.

"Really Kagome, I mean it's not like he walked into you on purpose, take a breath and leave him be." Pepper once again said as she looked at Kagome, having no clue what was going on in the woman's head. Tony looked at Pepper and smiled as he realized that Kagome was backing down.

Kagome turned around and walked back to where the broken cup lie on the ground stepping over it she walked out of the room.

Rhodey stared at the two across from him. Unable to grasp what had happened. He had never known the woman to be so blind to what was going on in Kagomes head. usually Pepper was the one who would tell both him and Tony to shut up when they said something wrong, because she was the only one the could read Kaogme almost as well as he could. He looked down at the broken cup that lay on the floor and cringed.

"Pepper, that was the cup her brother gave her." the hollowness of Rhodeys voice made everyone freeze and look at him. Pepper looked down at the shards to conform it herself and gasped when she saw that it was true.

"Oh my god what did i do." Peppers voice was watery as she was close to tears. Tony placed his arm around Pepper and bringing her in for a hug. feeling bad as well.

Rhodey looked at Pepper and Tony and shook his head. "you…. he…. just leave her be for the time being, i think the two of you have done enough." Rhodey turned away from his two friends and started to walk towards the door, looking over at Clint and Natasha, he saw that they were going to follow him as well.

"What the hell is your problem platypus? i mean what have we done enough of?" Tony shouted from his place beside Pepper. Rhodey froze and slowly turned around to look at them. Natasha moved forward but was stopped by Clint who shook his head and pointed to the doorway, causing Natasha to look and find Kaogme.

"You two have done nothing but doubt our relationship with each other, since you found out. It's pathetic really, I mean we've been together for five years and you're only now realizing it. I mean I thought you were a genius Tony. And Pepper I thought you could read Kagome like a book isn't that what you have always said. Yet you've both failed to realize how much you've hurt her. So yes Anthony I have a problem."

The room was dead silent, no one knew how to react to what Rhodey said. Tony stared at the man with wide eyes. He knew that Rhodey was upset, because he called him Anthony. Pepper looked at the ground in shame. Raising her head to apologize she was cut off.

"No I don't want your apology Pepper, so don't give it to me. Nor do I want Tony's. What I want is for you two to get your head out of your asses, this is the real world Pepper, 'I'm Sorry' doesn't fix everything in this world."

Pepper nodded her head, understanding what Rhodey was staying. The room once again lapsed into silence.

"Yes I like this mortal, he's not as dimwitted as he was last night Kagome. Keep him he's better then the Dog. Hell anyone was better as that Baka."

"Still not a Dimwit"

"Well So'unga actually said something smart this time Oka, I think his time in Hell has taught him some smarts."

"Watch it you stupid Kitsune I can still kill you."

"Kagome I really like him."

The room watched in shock as Shippo and Clint had a conversation with a sword. Kagome and Natasha just shook their heads at the two.
