Kagome stared blankly at the computer screen, trying to focus on what she was supposed to be doing. But right now, all she could do was keep a smile firmly in place and stare blankly with her hands on her keyboard as she waited for the elevator to ding and the doors opened to let the last two people she wanted to see step out. Really, if she could, Kagome would bind her powers until she needed them. Hell, she had broached that topic a few times and each time been shot down with a ferocity that left her speechless and feeling cold. Then again... her real job, not this cover she played, needed her powers as she was Asia's top Miko-hunter.

Taking a deep breath as she heard the ding of the elevator coming to a halt, Kagome looked at the paperwork and began to type once more. This did need to get done before she left for the night, as she had her mission to do. A demon had gone rogue and was causing major issues all over Tokyo. And the lower echelon workers had not been able to keep the trail of this particular Demon. They were slippery, and once it realized that it was being tailed, vanished. Though the setting and where it caused its mischief were in a relatively localized area of downtown Akihabara district.

When a cough drew her gaze up, Kagome just blinked and pointed to the office door behind her — indicating that they should just go on in. This earned her a slight disdainful sniff before she watched her cousin Kikyo walk on by, a slight upward tilt of her lips seeming to mock her. There was no love lost between them before this incident, and there wasn't now. For the life of her, Kagome didn't know what had made Kikyo hate her so.

"You could at least be polite and greet people."

Arching an eyebrow, Kagome pointed once more, knowing that Kikyo was waiting at the door.

"Gods, you have to be such a fucking bitch?"

This had Kagome looking back down at her screen, ignoring her now ex-boyfriend and childhood friend completely. And she didn't have to look at him to know he was hurt and getting angry to the point of irrationality. When he gave a loud, rude grunt before stomping toward the door, Kagome allowed a smile to appear on her lips. She was well aware of why they were called up. When they both came out of that office, Kagome was sure that they'd both be in a nasty mood. They wanted the job that Sesshomaru put her on solo.

It had been over a month since the incident as she had come to call it. The wound was still there; it hurt. But the first thing she had done after taking a few days to move into her mother's house again, glad that Sesshomaru had made it so that Inuyasha wouldn't be at their formerly shared apartment when she collected her belongings. The moment she was back at work, Kagome had done something that killed her inside.

But it had to be done, there was no trust there, and submitted the appropriate forms to break off her partnership with Inuyasha, making a point to fill out the candidate list of new partners for him. All she wrote was Kikyo's name.

By the end of that day, all three were standing in Sesshomaru's office, and it was done and over with. Of course, Inuyasha had whined and pleaded with her. Then he got belligerent and demanded why she was doing this. Turning to him, it had been very satisfying, as well as painful, to tell him that as a Miko-hunter, she couldn't work with someone who she couldn't trust. That a team was formed and that trust was the lifeline that let each have the others back. And that if he could lie to her, use her as he did, then she couldn't trust him. Seeing his golden eyes go wide as Kikyo made a snide comment, Kagome shook her head and left.

But the solo missions she had been on were not too hard. And her specialty was tracking and cornering rogue Demons that threatened to break the peace that was held. Normal Humans didn't know about Demons or those that were either Magically or Spiritually blessed. That the peace treaty from seven hundred years ago that Midoriko had created with the help of the four Lords of Japan so that Demons wouldn't hunt and kill humans indiscriminately. And Kagome was proud to say she was a direct descendant of the woman that she could call Midoriko, her great grandmother.


It was over an hour later when the door behind her opened again, and she could tell by the way both aura were dancing wildly that neither were happy. Kagome didn't look up at them as they walked by her desk, or preferably one did while the other stopped. She kept on shutting down her computer, making sure to lock the files so no one could hack them easily. When a low growl was directed at her, Kagome paused for a few seconds before continuing shutting down her station and readying herself to leave for the night.

Again she was growled at, this time louder and more threatening. At this, Kagome finally glanced up into pink-tinted eyes and said nothing, waiting for the verbal shit-storm that was to come.

"You did this!" Inuyasha hissed at her. "You knew we wanted this job to hunt the rogue down. And now we are being denied it. What the fuck is wrong with you, Kagome? Do you feel like you have to be underhanded and sneaky and suck my brother's dick to get back at us? Can't you be happy for us? Let the past go? Instead of screwing us out of a prime job!"

Once he trailed off, chest heaving as she continued to watch him struggle with controlling his inner Demon. And internally, she was shocked that she didn't feel sorry for him. If anything, Kagome was feeling pity that he was so pathetic and childish though his last few sentences were a low blow.

"No, I did not do this. In fact, after receiving and reviewing the request, I immediately forwarded it to Sesshomaru. Leaving that decision in his hands, I had nothing to do with it," She replied calmly. "And as far as I know, there is nothing wrong with me... Except you constantly getting in my face acting like an immature child who is over seventy-five years of age. Making wild accusations about illicit things that I have never done, nor would consider. But I am beginning to think that it is because you do have a moral conscience and feel something called guilt, Inuyasha."

The way his face turned red, Kagome waited for him to explode. When he lunged for her, Kagome didn't hesitate to put up a shield of pure Reiki. The howl that came from Inuyasha as his hands were burnt as he was sent flying didn't make her feel any better. Though she was just tired of this game, he was trying to play. He wanted his cake and to eat it too. Real-life was not like that. He lied to her, cheated on her. The only thing that would have compounded that whole thing was to beat her physically.

"You hurt him after provoking him!"

Turning her gaze to her cousin, who now knelt by Inuyasha, Kagome arched an eyebrow and lifted her hand and pointed to the dark domes that sat in all four corners of the top floors' central area.

"No, I did not. I replied to Inuyasha with the truth, Kikyo," Kagome replied. "Those record audio as well as visuals. I am done playing your twisted little game and him seeking pity and then getting angry and violent with me when I don't give it. You two were dating behind my back. All he had to do, and I told him this the first day we started to date, that if he found someone new to tell me and I would let him go."

The baleful look that Kikyo sent her as Inuyasha sat up, a small pained whimper coming from him as he looked at her. The charm that hides his demon heritage was gone thanks to him, touching her barrier, and the pink that had colored his golden eyes were also gone.

"Kagome, you know you're not to use your Reiki in the building," Sesshomaru said. "I see my brother had to be petty and provoke you, and you fell for it again? And you, Kikyo, say not a damn thing. I heard the whole thing, and if you two don't leave, I will strip both of your statuses as Hunters and blacklist you in the community. Your petty childishness is grating on my nerves. Stay away from Kagome, or I will let her let loose all that she keeps bottled inside on the two of you."

Kagome blinked as she looked up at Sesshomaru. The cold mask on his face appeared to belied the anger that was radiating from him in waves. It didn't help his aura was lashing out at her and the others as she let her head hang in acknowledgment of the rebuke. And she knew that Kikyo was well aware that they'd pushed Sesshomaru too far because he was one of the international leaders of their organization and not one to threaten without meaning it. So, in a rustle of fabric, she heard them rush into the open and waiting elevator as she listened to a soft gasp.


Her mood had not improved much after leaving the office an extra hour later. Sesshomaru demanded she go work off some of her frustration in his private training area. And she gladly did so, except now she was sore in more than a few areas because he had decided to join her. Though she was grateful that he would spar with her, it was an honor as since she was still human, beneath him.

Letting a smile across her face as she recalled him being especially vocal about how his brother was an idiot to think he'd let a human, even one he respected, to put their mouth anywhere near his shaft. That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back, and Kagome had fallen to the ground laughing hysterically, kicking the ground as he stood there looking utterly indignant at her.

Kagome paused as she felt something make her senses tingle. Sliding into a nearby alley and pressing up against the dirty wall, Kagome masked her presence as best she could. It took only a few minutes before that tingling of her senses began to go haywire as someone ran right by her in a hurry. The smile on her face grew wider, showing her teeth off clearly in a predatory manner. With great care and staying masked, Kagome began her pursuit. This was a demon in human guise and running while looking a mix of arrogant, cocky, and fearful. Something had spooked it, and she hoped that this was the rogue that needed to be caught.

Darting through the crowds, dodging the night goers of Akihabara was no easy feat due to the fact it was Friday night, and there were plenty of release events going on. Sighing softly to herself, Kagome sent out a small bit of her Reiki to brush against the in-guise-Demons aura. She was enjoying the hunt as he darted to the left and towards the back alleyways. Slowly she was herding him but felt as if something was off like someone was following her. And if it was Inuyasha or Kikyo, she didn't care if she got punished, she lashed out at them with her Reiki.

Slowing and pausing at the entrance of the alley, she peeked around the corner and then darted in. It was a dead-end, mentally she was congratulating herself for picking the right alley the first time. With care, Kagome kept placing her feet silently on the ground stalking the guy. For that was what it was, a male and now that she was closer to see through the illusion of the charm he wore, that it was a weasel demon. No big surprise there. Coming to a halt as she reached into the white haori top she wore, still hidden from the Demons' sight, Kagome pulled out a fuda and pumped in some of Reiki to activate the sealing script on it.

It was at that moment the Demon turned and looked directly at where she was standing. Kagome dropped the barrier protecting her and flung the fuda as it hissed something in its native tongue, something she didn't need a translator for as she began to pull another out as the first connected knocking it back into the wall and stunning it. She could tell that he was no easy walk in the park, and wanted to take no chances. But freezing him would be best, a worst-case scenario she'd have to make her Reiki into a bow and Purify him.

She was getting ready to throw the second fuda when footsteps entered the alley. Unable to stop, she threw it and started to turn when she heard a vaguely familiar voice. When she was finally able to see who had entered the alley, Kagome felt her eyes go wide as she saw the two men from a month ago. Her mind rapidly supplied her with the name's Heero and Duo, both private detectives that occasionally worked with the Tokyo Police Department.

The look of shock on their faces as they took in her appearance and then shifted their gaze to the Demon at the end of the alley, who was cursing up something fiercely in the Demonic language. Kagome knew that his charm was nulled the moment that the first fuda had hit him. It had been crudely made, not by an adequately trained miko, or even one who walked the path of light. This was not good because you could see the animalistic features now, and when he blinked, she knew they'd see the slitted pupil in maroon-colored eyes.

"Hey, Kagome... What are you doing here? And what is that thing?" Duo asked in his laid back manner. "Because those clothes were on the criminal that Heero and I were tracking for the Police Department."

Oh yeah, she was in trouble. In more way than one since they were normal humans, and seeing the supernatural was not something they'd be allowed to remember. When a low snarl came from behind her, Kagome realized that the Fuda had only been a temporary solution until she could get help here to apprehend the Demon without purifying him. But now, that was not an option as she turned to look at the Weasel Demon, whose eyes were red as it bared its fangs.

"Stupid humans, thank you for allowing me to break free..." he hissed as he darted forward, hands shifting to dangerous claws.

Kagome didn't think, she just reacted, figuring that the consequences could be damned as she brought her hands together as her body was being pulled back by one of the two men. Their bravado was misplaced as they wouldn't stand a chance against this man, though on the weaker end, he was still a full Demon.

"Midoriko, please guide my hands, and let the arrow fly true," She whispered as she pulled her hands apart, her Reiki manifesting and casting its lilac color across the dark alley walls.

The way the Demon tried to twist its body away from Heero, who had a small-caliber gun pointed at him as its deranged gaze met hers. Kagome let loose the arrow made from her Reiki and watched as it sailed through the air and nailed the Weasel Demon in one shoulder, due to it trying to twist out of the way. A small part of her was happy that she hadn't purified it, but now it was in pain. Meaning it was more dangerous as she called up another arrow and fired it at the other shoulder, using more Reiki this time to knock it back to the far wall.

"Uh.. what the hell!?" Duo exclaimed.

She ignored both of them as she released her Reiki and pulled out a sealing Fuda and pushed her Reiki into it and walked up to the Weasel demon who snarled and tried to bite her.

"By the covenants of our ancestors, I bind you until you have been properly judged," she intoned as she slapped it to the Demons forehead, causing him to go still, eyes reverting to that maroon color and dull.

Turning, she looked at Heero and Duo and gave a sheepish smile. Since that first meeting, with her sober, they'd kept in contact loosely.

"Explain," Heero demanded. Rolling her eyes, she raised a hand and showed him a single finger, indicating he should wait a moment.

Then reaching into a hidden pocket, she had sewed into midnight blue hakama's Kagome pulled out her cellphone and swiped her thumb in the pattern to unlock it. Within seconds she had it to her ear as it rang. This day was just shit for her, wasn't it?

"Hey, I caught the Rogue Demon," she said, not letting Sesshomaru say anything after answering his phone. "Apparently the Tokyo Police hired detectives to hunt down the criminal that has been causing all these disturbances" S

Kagome paused and listened patiently for him to say anything when he didn't, she continued.

"Well, the Demon is Weasel Clan. Tried to attack civilians, who were hired by the Tokyo Police... it was Heero and Duo, and uh... Sesshy, they saw me apprehend him..."

The continued silence had her shifting foot to foot as she met the eyes of Heero and Duo. Both were looking at her expectantly. When she finally got a response, she started to cry. It was short, concise orders to stay put, say nothing more, and to make sure that they didn't leave. The way their aura was dancing, Kagome knew that they were not going to leave any time soon, and she was in some serious trouble... and not just from her boss, but these two as well.

TBC!
