Tokyo.
Through the bustle of the busy streets and the gleaming lights is an underlying world filled with crime, gangs, and most importantly-money. Tokyo had a truly corrupt system with undeniably stupid politicians leading the city deeper into an economic depression. (A/n: I don't know if Tokyo is really like that, it just sounded cool.) In the backstreets lay gangs fighting for territory, or working for those who really owned it-the syndicates. Or in other words the mafia's owned a lot of turf. The syndicates weren't filled with incompetent idiots. The syndicates were a refined circle of criminals. Though that may sound funny, they could do things others couldn't dream of-and get away with it. The cops could never-ever-find them or any evidence to lead to them.
Mostly the syndicates were family run, the top dog usually the eldest of the family. The syndicates were usually split into smaller groups, almost like a caste system or hierarchy. Mafias and syndicates are in the constant battle for territory, gangs usually with impotent leaders try to stand up to them and land their own ground. Mainly they're wiped out within a few hours, many (should've) learned their lesson.

"DADDY!!"
"Oww!! Don't scream that loud, you want my ears to fall off?"
"YES!"
"That was mean…"
"I'm NOT mean!"
"Of course, dear, whatever you think."
"Feh, and you say I'm mean."
In the middle of a huge hall that was decorated with beautiful paintings and flowers, stood a tall, thin, distinguished looking man. He had jet black hair which was graying on the sides. A girl-about 17 years old-ran down a flight of stairs towards them man.
"DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What do you want, dear daughter?" the man said putting emphasis on the last two words.
The girl wore a pair of black jeans, a blue tang top on that contrasted with her brown eyes. She had long black hair that went to mid-back and she had a black hoddie wrapped around her waist and held a blue backpack.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR DOING IT!!"
"Doing what, Kagome?"
"YOU KNOW!! THE TREATY WITH THE DRAGONS!!"
"Oh, yes, well, you know how things are."
"WHAT!!! DAD!!! YOU KNOW THEY'RE NO GOOD!!!"
"What is done is done, we're going to sign and that's final!"
"BUT…DAD!!!"
"Will you stop screaming??"
"Gomen…"
"We have to do it, or we'll never get anything accomplished. Plus we have a mutual enemy."
"Who?"

Somewhere in downtown Tokyo…
"WE'RE WHAT?!"
"You heard what I said Kenshin, we have to. Orders from the elders."
Two middle aged men, one with brown hair who sat behind a huge oak desk and the other with silvery hair who sat in the chair to the side of the desk. The room seemed to be an office of sort, decorated with modern art and books, and fit with some very comfy looking furniture. A large red, leather couch was set in front of the desk which matched the tone of the room. The room's walls were almost a maroon like color. There were other chairs set around the room which matched the other furniture.
"Damned…Fine…who should we send?"
"I'm going."
"Alone?"
"No you idiot…I'm going with-"
The door suddenly opened revealing two teens. They were about the same height, same hair color, and similar features. The only thing distinguishing them from each other was a rather obvious. One was a girl, who had fiery red eyes, and the other a boy with ice blue eyes. They each wore black pants and shirts of their respective colors. She had a red long sleeve shirt with a mandarin style collar with a black dragon winding all around the shirt. The boy, however, had on a blue t-shirt that said 'N1NJ4' on the front in black.
"You ring, old man?" the girl said rather annoyed. She was holding her lunch, which consisted of mainly burgers, fries, and a chocolate shake. The boy grabbed a fry and popped it in hit mouth while receiving a death glare from the girl.
"Oh, yes. Sachi, Shino come in. Please sit!"
The teens looked at each other, then back at the man behind the desk, shrugged, and sat down on the couch.
"What's*crunch*up*crunch*crunch*?" Shino said through a mouth full of fries. Sachi kicked him in the shin so hard he fell off the couch.
"WHY'D 'YA DO THAT?!"
The two older men sweat dropped. Shino picked himself up, wiped imaginary dust off of himself and sat back down.
The man behind the desk spoke up. "Kids…"
"We're not kids!" the two teens said in unison.
He waved it off. "Whatever, Ok, you guys will have to come with me to sign a treaty with the Higurashi Family Syndicate."
O.o o.O
"Why?"
"Yeah, why? They are a bunch of snobs."
"Hold on, first off I'd like to introduce to you Kenshin-taijin (Sir Kenshin). He's from the Osaka branch."
The girl stood up. "Oh, yeah…How do you do? I'm Sachi, and this is my brother," she pulled him up by the arm, "Shino. Don't mind him, he's an idiot."
"I resent that remark!"
¬.¬ "Don't try to sound smart…"
"You're mean this time of the month!"
*gasp*
"KIDS!!"
All together now: "WE ARE NOT KIDS!!"
Kenshin-taijin stood up and bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you. You are the 'wolf twins' correct? The best of the best I'm told."
The boy shrugged and the girl scratched her head. "Yeah, I suppose so."
"Good, I'd like you to meet some associates of mine." Kenshin-taijin glanced over to the other man who was still seated behind the desk. The other man nodded and pressed a button on the phone to page his secretary.
"Yes, do you need anything, Hibiki-taijin?" the female voice over the line squeaked. She had a voice like a mouse, annoying really.
"Yes, Sayuri, please send in the three from Osaka"
"Yes, right away."
Within seconds the door opened revealing three men (...boys?). Each looked to either be the twin's age or a tad older. Two of them were about the same height, only the other a bit taller. The tallest one and one of the others each had silvery hair and amber colored eyes. The shorter of the two wore a red gi, and looked as if he had just been working out. The taller had more sense and wore a black suit with a white shirt. His jacket was slung over his shoulder. The other had black hair and dark blue eyes; he wore black slacks, and a dark blue shirt. The taller one looked about twenty something, or so, while the other two looked to be about eighteen or nineteen.
Kenshin-taijin stood up, walked over to the three and began introductions.
"Sachi, Shino, Hibiki, I'd like you to meet my two sons." He pointed to the tallest one. "This is my eldest son, Sesshomaru," then he pointed to the other amber eyed boy, "and Inuyasha, my other son." He then tapped his hand on the shoulder of the black haired boy, "And this is Miroku of the Hoshi clan."
Miroku bowed and smiled, Sesshomaru looked around indifferent while Inuyasha just looked pissed off.

At the Higurashi's…
"Come on!"
"I can't believe your still on about this Kagome."
"PLEASE DON'T! I HATE 'EM!"
"Stop it! I think I'm almost deaf!"
* * *
Miroku, Hibiki-taijin, the twins, and the Kenshin's all now sat in a luxurious room of sort. The whole room was black and white; there were white and black tiled floors, while each wall was either black or white. Every piece of furniture was either of the shades (A/n black and white are shades, people.) and some had gold or silver trim. Dead center in the room was a small fireplace which couches surrounded on each side. Miroku, Shino, and Sachi sat on one couch while Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Kenshin-taijin sat on the other. Hibiki-taijin sat on a chair off to the side.
"Old man, why do we have to sign the damn treaty?" Sachi spoke up first.
"I already explained…"
"Liar," Shino remarked.
"I am not lying!"
¬.¬
"Don't look at me like that Sai-chan!"
O.O "Don't call me that!!!"
Shino held back a fit of laughter. The others, who were in the room, looked at the three blankly.
Kenshin-taijin interrupted before blood could be spilled. "Oh, just tell them. They need to know what they are getting into, Hibiki."
"What fun is that?"
He received two death glares. He laughed nervously, "Oh, you spoil the fun! I'll brief them before we go. Right now, why don't you kids get acquainted, okay?"
He and Kenshin-taijin stood up and left the ying-yang room. The ones who were left just glanced at each other nervously and stayed quiet for a good eight minutes until…
"AIIIIIYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! WAHHA!! PERVERT PERVERT!!! LECHER!!! DIE DIE DIE!!!"
The scream came from Sachi who already had Miroku by the neck and was choking him to death. Inuyasha had jumped up at the scream and was holding his ears.
"What and why the hell did she scream!?" Inuyasha said in annoyed tone of voice as he held his ears.
Shino just shook it off like it was nothing and then answered Inuyasha's question. "She called Miroku a hentai."
"Oh, I see. Now it makes sense. Miroku you're such a hentai! I'd think you would have learned your lesson by now, but no, you're still the same old hentai. Don't you ever learn??"
Miroku couldn't respond and was turning an unusual shade of blue. Shino was trying to pull his sister off of the poor man (…boy?). Sesshomaru had already sat back down and looked at Miroku, who was nearing death, like it was nothing new.

[A/n: How was it? Was it Ok? Please, please, please review!! In this fic I'll probably make subtle references to Cowboy Bebop, but I don't think it will be that noticeable. This will be an Inuyasha and Kagome fic, because I think they are so darn cute together. Bwahaha! I'll probably put Naraku and Kikyo in later chapters, but Shippo, Sango, Kohaku should be in the next chapter. I'll update soon enough, but I want reviews people!!!]
