THE ODDLY UNEXPECTED
CHAPTER 1
~*~*~*~*~
19-yr-old Kagome Higurashi was sitting on the dark biting her nails and watching the news on T.V. Her average-lengthed dark hair was loose and her coffee eyes were reflecting the scenes from the T.V. Kagome was crouched in her soft mahogany couch, still staring at the T.V. with a still and frozen look glued to her face. News reporters were speaking of disappearances and arrests. Kagome was a police officer, and had been one for more than 3 years, being categorized a "rookie". Her friend Sango Hiraikotsu, 20, was sleeping in her bed.
Kagome and Sango have been friends since junior high. And for rookies, they were actually very good at what they did. Out of 75 rookies in their station, Kagome and Sango were the top 2 best cops in their quarters. And they were the only two females in the happy bunch!
But Kagome here was still staring dolefully at the T.V. yet again. No reason why, though...
Kagome looked back and Sango's resting body. Sango's long dark brown hair was scattered all over her face. She was sleeping peacefully in her solitary and joyful slumber. Ah, yes. Sleeping is good...very good...
Kagome scoffed a smile at her dear friend, and again stared back at the TV. Her big red sweater was making her body more comfortable, the name Higurashi largely sewed on it.
But just about when her eye lids were finally closing, she opened them widely by the statement said out loud by the anchorman on the news.
"Around 1:30 this afternoon, the L.A.P.D. just accepted 15 new officers into the department. We don't really have much information on the new recruits, but all we can say is that there are four new recruits traveling from the city of San Francisco. So we'll update you when any updates have been submitted here. Back to you, Sean."
"San Francisco, eh?" she thought. She finally turned off the T.V. and went to bed. She placed the covers on top of herself and drifted away to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~
"Kagome! C'mon, hurry up! We're already late for breakfast!" yelled Sango. She was standing at the door waiting for Kagome to finish dressing up. Kagome was now in her police uniform just like Sango, and was trying to put her boots on.
"Wait a sec! I'm almost done!"said Kagome. Sango sighed.
"She'll never learn," she thought.
5 minutes later...
"I'm done!" said Kagome.
"Well praise the Lord Amen you're finished!" said Sango.
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" Kagome caroled as they left out the door and walked on.
~*~*~*~*~
There was a group of four girls entering a diner across from their department building.
Kagome and Sango were sitting down, their friends Kagura and Ayame staring into the menus as they were.
"See? I told you they weren't selling omellettes today, Ayame!" Kagura stated to the ember-haired girl. Ayame smirked sadly and dunked her head on top of the table.
"Oh, bah. Leave me alone..." Ayame mumbled.
This is Ayame's first week as a police officer, and so she's always pretty insecure with her own strengths and abilities. Kagura has worked in this job for almost 7 years, and she's basically the one trying to push Ayame forward., She's almost the wise one in the whole bunch.
Kagome and Sango thanked the waiter and started dunking the French toast sticks in the syrup.
"Don't tell me you're now worried about those new people," Kagura scoffed, as she added a spoonful of sugar in her coffee, "they're from San Francisco for crying out loud! How hard can they be?"
Kagome shrugged with closed eyes as she sipped up her chocolate milk.
"I heard from Kirara that they're tough as hell!" Ayame said, knuckles supporting her chin and elbows on the table. Sango scoffed.
"Ayame, you know Kirara is a whine head all the time! She thinks everything is as tough as hell!"
"And plus," Kagome said, "we're the toughest ones in this department. And no one will ever take our place. Ever!"
"Okay, but I hope you weren't high or stoned when you said that..." Kagome and Sango laughed out loud. Ayame giggled along with them as Kagura shook her head chuckling.
"I'll have you arrested for saying that, you rookie!" Kagome shook her finger. Ayame crossed her arms.
"Am not! Hmmph!" she nosed up stubbornly.
~*~*~*~*~
The four cops signed in to work an hour later, as they picked up their gear from their lockers, and walked inside the conference room for their meeting this morning.
Then the room silenced as everyone sat down and a microscope-like camera focused on a little flea on the podium. Thought size may be deceiving; Lt. Myoua-jiji was the one who was the boss around here. His rules were very strict, but he sometimes cowers away when someone mightier than him challenges him in any sort of way. He was well-respected, and admired by the other Lieutenants in California. His assistant, Sheriff Toutousai, is very crafty when it comes to metal and any sort of weapon for self-defense. He too was cowardly, but very easy going unlike the lieutenant. Many feared his humorous jokes, for they were so bad that they even sometimes made the secretary wince.
"All right men, settle down!" Myouga said thorough the speaker. Sango waved her hand up amongst the crowd.
"Hey! Don't forget us!" Myouga chuckled.
"And ladies, of course," he continued, "today I am very honored to introduced 4 new recruits all the way from San Francisco. These men might come as a shock to you, for they aren't really considered to be 'normal'. Boys, please introduce yourselves."
Next to the podium, 4 young men stood from the crowd.
" 'Sup? I'm Inu-Yasha Takashi, 20 years old, and I'm a dog hanyou." Everyone seemed to mumble to one another about him, but the young man seemed to not care at all.
"Greetings. My name's Miroku Kazanaa, I'm 22 years old, and I'm human." Some of the other female officers seemed very interested with him, for he wore a sly smile through out his introduction. Kagura scoffed and whispered to Sango: "Another horny bastard."
"Too bad he's actually hot," Ayame said to Kagome. Kagome smirked sarcastically and Sango nodded in agreement to Kagura.
"Hello, everyone. My name's Sesshomaru Takashi. Inu-Yasha here is my younger half-brother; I'm 25 years old, and a full-breed taiyoukai." Again mumbling heard all around.
"Hey, y'all. My name is Kouga Hikata, I'm 21 years old and I'm a full-breed wolf youkai." Everyone greeted them with bellowing voices and some nearby shook hands with the new men. The girls, as always, weren't very impressed or awed in any sort of manner.
"Wow...a hanyou, two youki, and a human...wow..." Kagura said monotone- voiced. The other three girls laughed.
"Hey Ayame, aren't you a wolf youkai?" Kagome asked.
"Yea," Ayame looked at her suspiciously, "so...?" Kagura smiled at the 18- yr-old girl with an evil smile.
"Maybe you guys can mate or something, nay?" Sango snickered. Ayame scoffed.
"Dare to dream, you psycho," Ayame glared. The girls laughed out loud, before a loud horn sounded near them.
BNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
"Higurashi! Hiraikotsu! Shikara! Lokoshi!" Totousai yelled at them, "stand and explain yourselves! How dare you interrupt new recruits while in introductions!" The four girls stood up ashamed.
"We're very sorry, Sheriff," Kagura apologized, "we won't interrupt like this again."
"You make sure these rookies don't start up again. You should know better than that, Kagura." Kagura nodded.
"I understand, sir. Leave it to me."
~*~*~*~*~
The rest of the day Lt. Myouga-jiji was explaining about the new weapons and utilities that just came in a few days ago. As Kagome was trying on a few of the new protective suits and aiming the new guns, Kagome has this intuition that someone was gazing at her constantly.
"Hey Sango. Do you feel like there's someone staring at you all the time? It's giving me the willies, man." Sango's eyes widened, as she put on her protective shield.
"You too?" Sango whispered. Then suddenly a gun was tugged on Sango's back furiously as she heard Kagura chuckle.
"You're still scared of the unexpected, huh?" Kagura smiled, "be prepared for surprises, honey." Sango nodded as she cocked her gun and put it in its case on her belt.
"I still have a long way to go, huh?" Ayame said as she sat lazily on the table. Kagura grinned at her.
"You'll be an expert in no time, don't worry."
~*~*~*~*~
As he was checking out his weapons, Inu-Yasha spotted down the girls that they saw back in the conference room. He then turned his head and continued playing around with the new gadgets and gizmos they were given, but his eyes were glued on this girl that looked a lot like his ex-girlfriend.
"My god. Same eyes, same hair color, same everything," he thought as he looked at the girl.
"Hey Nobunaga, who's that girl holding that microchip in her hand?" he asked. The baby-faced young man looked at the girl and grinned at Inu- Yasha.
"Oh," he said, "that's Kagome Higurashi. She's been working here for 3 years now. And she's so fierce, man. She almost knocked my teeth out when we were practicing our defense techniques last week. She's a beast!"
Inu-Yasha looked at her, and then smirked.
"So they *are* related. That's Kikyou's sister!" Inuyasha thought, "Kagome..."
~*~*~*~*~
Along some other side of the room, Miroku was talking to this fellow called Bankotsu, as he was loading his new guns with the rubber bullets his twin brother Hiten gave him.
"L.A. ain't so bad as some people say it is," Bankotsu explained, "there's more adrenaline rush and you can actually arrest someone for a real crime! It's awesome!" Miroku wasn't really listening to the guy blabbering for his attention was mainly focused on this girl across from him.
"Hey Bankotsu. Who's the girl wearing the chest shield?" Bankotsu looked and scoffed.
"That's Sango Hiraikotsu. I don't really know much 'bout her, 'cept that she can kick some major ass." Miroku nodded understandingly.
"Hm. Sango, is it?" Miroku said to himself while staring at her, "I guess Bankotsu's right, L.A. ain't so bad after all."
~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru was talking to Toutousai as the old man was looking at his gun, which is supposed to be working but it wasn't. So Sesshomaru was looking around the room, his face cold and blank of expression. His eyes would turn to different places, but there was one place he couldn't glue himself out of. He looked at the woman with short black hair and shining red eyes, as she was cocking up her gun behind a girl's back and scaring her to death.
"Sheriff. May I ask who that woman with the gun is?"
Sheriff Totousai stopped what he was doing, looked at her and shook his head.
"She's a strange one, indeed. She's one of my best officers and I trust her with my life and soul entirely. Her name's Kagura Shikara, and she's been on the job here for 7 years straight. She's someone who you shouldn't even try and mess with. She'll send you whining out of this state like a little pup if you try and challenge her."
Sesshomaru looked at the so-called Kagura with narrow eyes. He scoffed then.
"I'll challenge her soon enough," he said as Totosai gave him the gun, "she can't be that tough. She's just a woman."
~*~*~*~*~
Kouga was talking to two old high school buddies, Hakkaku and Ginta. He was sharpening his pocket knife, and making sure he wasn't missing a single scratch. As he was brushing it off some more, he spotted two girls: one was holding a microchip and the other one leaning lazily on the table.
"Yo, Ginta. Who's that girl?" he asked poiting his thumb towards one of them. Hakkaku and Ginta looked and smiled.
"O yea, that's Ayame Lokoshi. She's a wolf youkai too, all the way from Chicago, man. What a road trip that must've been!"
"Yea. Route 66's a killer!" said Ginta. Kouga looked at the red head he supposed was Ayame, but shook his hand at the two men.
"No, no, no. Not her. That other girl with the micro chip."
"Oooh! That's Kagome Higurashi," said Hakkaku, "she's really short-tempered sometimes. We fear her a lot when she forgets something at home..." Ginta shudders at the memories.
"But 80% of the time she's fine." Kouga looked behind his shoulder to Kagome, as he grinned evilly, his eyes gazing towards her features.
"You're right, Ginta. She seems very fine, indeed..." he whispered to himself.
