Hello my readers. I am so happy you took the time to read my story. I know I should be finishing my other stories… but I keep getting writers block and then a bunch of new Ideas. Well all I ask is that you read it and tell me what you think, and vote for whom you want kag to go with (explained at the end)
I don't own Inuyasha. Wish I did though…
Ok get on with the story….
I blinked a little stopping in front of his office, Stupid boss, calling me in at 6:00 in the morning on Saturday. I had a place to be, and that was my dreamland. I stifled a yawn and walked in, waving a little at the bubbly blond secretary. She was probably pregnant….
I took a seat in a chair in front of a desk. He wasn't there yet, but he should be soon. He could be such a jerk! And he thinks I have a thing for him! Hah! Not in a million years. He seriously needs to get a life!
I blew a bit of my long raven hair out of my face, trying to get comfortable in his stiff, smelly room. IT stunk! It stunk really badly. Like rotten eggs and… new shoes. Like someone had tried to get rid of the smell, but they only made it worse.
I picked up the faint sent of cigarettes and scrunched up my adorable nose. Stupid man would probably be talking through a machine one day! I would love to see that!
I twiddled my hair as the large shadow made its way to the seat across from me. I glared as he sat in the big red chair. Stupid old man. "Why did you bring me in here at 6:00 old man." I complained.
The man paid me no heed. He just tapped his cigarette in the tray and went on puffing out small shapes. My glare deepened as I waved away the smoke, which just made him laugh his stupid evil laugh.
"Ah… Kagome. My sweat little flower." He said and almost burnt my cloths with his expensive cigars. I ignored his flower remark and waited for him to finish, I leaned back in my chair as he bent over the table.
"Spit it out old man!" I growled after a few seconds. The man gave a raspy laugh. I rolled my eyes and waited. My watch read watch 7:00 on the dot! Oh how wonderful! If this man doesn't hurry it up I think I'm just going to assassinate him and leave!
After many stupid laughs and many of his stupid horrible pick up lines he finally got to the reason I was there. Mind you it was a half an hour later. I was leaning in my chair rebelliously and he was leaning in his chair with greed written all over his face.
"What is it old man?" I asked annoyed. He touched his own fingertips with his fingertips. I was really getting sick of him. The thought that was seducing me was 'stab him… go on you can do it…' I tell you…. One of these days I'm going to have to get a conscience.
"Now that you ask…" My mouth dropped. Now that I asked? Now that I asked! I had said it at least 5 times in the half an hour I have been here! My eyes narrowed dangerously. This had better be worth it or I'm out of here! "I need you to do something for me…" he tried to say eerily… but all it resulted in was a very bad cough.
"No shit…" I said sarcastically he smothered his cigar. Why were old wannabe gangster men always doing that? I snatched away his cigar and threw it out the window, " My patients is growing thin…" I growled out.
He smiled. I frowned, his broadened, mine showed my teeth. "I need you to steal this for me." He said dropping an ugly envelope on my desk. I watched it a moment…just to make sure it wouldn't explode. It didn't so I picked it up. I smelled it, didn't smell like crack. I lifted my eyebrow and opened it.
He was watching me eagerly, waiting to see my reaction. I pulled out a few papers and a large picture. The large picture caught my eye and I looked at it.
So this was a jewel heist? I was starring at an 8 by 5 photo of a small pink crystal. It was enchanting. I wanted to reach into the picture and take it for myself. But then I'd be assassinated! I completely forgot about my employer, who was trying to catch my attention.
After a minute or two I looked up at him. " You want me to steal this?" I asked lifting a brow. He nodded. " This is an insult. Why don't you get a beginner to do this? My skills are over this. Its puny." I said rolling my eyes.
"This diamond happens to be one of the most heavily guarded diamonds in the world!" He explained rounding the desk and looking over my shoulder. I scoffed. Ok… so it was beautiful… but it was really small. It would be easy to smuggle out. My eyes shifted to him a little and I walked to the other side of the room waving the picture around as I spoke.
"Why do you want this so much?" I asked stopping at a window and folding my arms and looking out at the new rain and buildings. He watched me a moment.
"I don't…" He said. I spun on my toe and starred at him.
"Were you born mental or did somebody hit you with a car?" I asked dangerously. He ignored my comment and laughed stupidly.
"My son wants it." I starred at him for a moment. A long, long moment. Then I burst out laughing. I was laughing like a maniac, clutching my exposed stomach. Yeah… like anyone would ever do anything with him. The man watched my crack up.
"Sure…. What's the real reason?" I asked composing myself. He looked at me a while longer and I began to shift uncomfortably. I stopped though. I stopped thinking and my heart sped up. The man I was starring at was…he was indescribable.
He was watching me with his violet eyes and I was watching him with my blue ones. He had just walked in from the same door as my employer did. I was struck speechless.
"This is my son… Naraku. Naraku this is Ms. Kagome Higurashi. She will be getting the stone for you." He said waving his hand at me. I snapped back to reality and at him.
"What are you talking about old man? I didn't agree to anything! I want to know the conditions. I want to know my payment." I growled dangerously. The younger man was laughing now. His laugh was almost as bad as his fathers it wasn't even funny (haha funny play on words!). I didn't like him anymore and I waited for the information I asked for.
"Well. You are going to have to befriend these people." Naraku said picking up the envelope I left on the desk. His voice was low and it sent tingles up my back. I shook my head. I dropped the picture on the table and looked at the papers that Naraku just took out.
"Lets see here." I muttered to myself. On the top of the stack was a girl. She was winking in her picture and her hair was down. It was black and the bangs shaped her face. She had some pink eye shadow on her eyelids, which seemed to put a lot of emphases on her eyes and bring out her smile. I got bored with her face so I looked at her information.
She seemed interesting enough. I looked up at Naraku and put the most nonchalant expression I could muster on. I refused to be like most woman. If I were the way I was a long time ago, I would melt and swoon. But now. I got past that and I wouldn't allow myself to repeat past events.
"This is Sango. She is one of the most capable women on their team. Well one of the only woman as well. I shared a small conversation with her before she is pretty easy to befriend." Naraku described her a little further. I flinched a little when he said she was also a major hottie too.
I flipped the page. I was looking at a pretty hot guy glaring at me. He had long black hair and a headband. His hair was strait and up in a ponytail. If he were smiling I would probably mistake him for a gay guy. I didn't bother looking at his information, knowing that Naraku would explain him. So I looked over at him.
"Here we have Kouga. He's pretty hot headed, but is a real pimp. You know how to become friends with him right?" Naraku gave me a look. I shuddered. I hate that kind of work. But I acted nonchalant. I shrugged. But when he didn't look my eyes narrowed with distaste.
The next page had a black haired man with a goofy grin and a trace of red on his cheek. His hair was in a tiny ponytail and his eyes were closed so I couldn't see his eye color. He actually looked really cute, but I shrugged that off.
"And here is Miroku… He's a major perv. And that is not an exaggeration. His hands can be dangerous. Well he should be as easy as kouga. And he's friendly anyways." Naraku described again. I nodded watching his picture and reading his information. Oh… how interesting. He had switched partners. I wonder who his old partner was. Or partners.
Naraku flipped the page for me, and the first thing I was a pair of golden eyes. I dropped the pages and starred. This was just freaky. Who had golden eyes? My eyes traveled up and I saw silver hair. Ok golden eyes and silver hair? That was just freaky.
"Who the hell is that!" I exclaimed and calmed down a little bit. Naraku was smirking though. He put his hand on my shoulder and his hand on the paper.
"This is Inuyasha. He is…well not one to underestimate." He said and leaned into me a little bit. I ignored him and looked over his information. Wow, he had a pretty awesome record. Taken out at least 50 jewel heists, 75 burglaries, and 25 national conspiracies. And he was only 23. That was the exact opposite of myself, except for the fact that I'm only 20. "Befriending him will take a long time." He added.
"How long?" I asked finally looking at him. He looked at the ceiling pondering slightly. When he looked back at me he had a maniacal smile. I narrowed my eyes and waited.
"A year at the least." He said. My eyes bulged. A year! Was he insane? And all this for a tiny little pink jewel? I scowled at him. My pay better be really good! I crossed my arms over my chest and growled.
Naraku peeked at me from the corner of his eye then back at Inuyasha. I could feel him look at me, but ignored his attempt to catch my eye. I was so furious. He didn't seem to care though. He just flipped the page.
The girl I was looking at had brown shoulder length hair and was beaming. She had on thin glasses, but they made her look smart and sophisticated. Her hair was silky and her glazed eyes were green. Naraku's smirk was different know. I dropped my composer a little.
"This is Shinju. She is well, she happens to be very educated when it comes to minerals." I blinked a little and pushed off the desk, walking across the room too a small fridge. I stole a Pepsi with little effort and walked back over to the desk. I looked at her information as I popped the lid. She seemed like the normal rock expert.
"And she happens to be Kouga's sister." My eyebrows jumped with interest. How interesting. She didn't appear to be in their little group thing. "If she doesn't approve of you, then most likely, neither will kouga. Kouga is older then her, but you know how it is with woman…" He flashed me a smile, which I ignored.
"Yeah yeah…the whole protective little sister thing." I muttered. Shinju was 16. That's surprising. But then again, I'm 20 and I've committed more crimes then I can count without being caught. Naraku was holding something back, but I didn't feel like interrogating so I sipped my Pepsi and waited for the next picture.
The next picture had a girl in it and her hair was short and blond. It was choppy, like a boys, but just long enough to recognize her as a girl. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling with a peace sign. "Here we have Hoshi. Don't worry about her much. She is very friendly. And she's not strait." He said the last sentence quickly. My soda landed on the old man after it had extracted itself from my mouth so quickly.
I put down my Pepsi and stared at Naraku with wonder. Ok I could stand lesbians but if I had to do anything… I was just not like that! "Don't worry… she's taken." Naraku said with a small chuckle. I sighed and sipped my Pepsi not saying anything, but waiting for the next person.
The next girl had a thick headband that was yellow and her hair was reddish brown and went down to her shoulders and it was wavy. Her eyes shone blue and she was smiling elegantly. "Natsumi." He said and smiled down at the picture. " She is only 18 but she is very smart and is the daughter of the owner of the museum in which the jewel is in. Its very important that you become her friend." I nodded and studied her information.
"You can look over the rest later. There are a lot of them. But you understand that you have to watch your behavior. No flaws, they won't go unseen." He said. I nodded nonchalantly.
"So basically you want me to get everyone to fall in love with me and be a very sociable perfect angel." Yeah right… like I could do that. I waited for him to respond.
"Right."
"Then I am out of here. Find another girl. I can not do this." I said and crumpled up my Pepsi can and tossed it into the bin making my way to the door. I didn't need to look to know that Naraku gave the old man a confused look. He ran in front of me.
"Where are you going?" he asked me. I waved him away and continued on my journey to the door. He stepped In front of me again of course.
"To bed!" I finally shouted and shoved him aside stomping the rest of the way. God men could be so stupid. He grabbed my hand just as I was about to turn the handle. How dare he touch my flesh! I glared at him.
"You haven't heard our proposition…" He said smirking. I blinked and turned towards him with a little bit of interest. His smirk grew when he saw that he had my attention. Rotten no good swindler! " I hear that your brother…" I cut him off though.
"My brother is dead, he has been dead for 6 years, now if you don't mind I have to get going. There is a very comfy bed calling me!" I said quickly, but he wouldn't let my wrist go. I looked at him; he was digging his nails into my skin. It was just wrong for a guy to have really long nails like that!
He put a folder on my lap. " Think again…" he said. I blinked, opening the folder. There was a picture of my brother when he was 11. He was smiling for a school picture. Ok why did they have a picture of a dead boy? I flipped the page. There he was, lying in a bed with machines hooked up to him. I remember when the doctors told me he wouldn't make it.
I flipped the page and blinked. He was standing up and seemed to be older. He had a bike next to him and he was leaning against the wall. Ok… the doctors said he was dead in the hospital. They said he was. And he was in the coffin. The funeral. Everything. I glanced at Naraku who was still smirking at me.
I flipped the page. He was laughing. A stuffed rabbit sat next to him in front of a basketball hoop. I gave him that, when he was 4. My eyes fell on a report and the papers fluttered to the floor.
The report said that he was taken into special care and used as a specimen for scientist. He had bits of machine in him so he could live and was being closely watched. He couldn't be released into society until they injected a special medicine. But the medicine was very valuable and only one person new how to make it.
Naraku.
There was no way I could back out now. How dare he.
"My brother is alive?" I asked.
"Somewhat" he answered. I stared at his picture then back at Naraku. How could this be, how could it go overseen? My eyes were filling, but I wouldn't let them spill. I swallowed my own tears and turned to Naraku with a look of pure hate. He was smiling.
"What ever, I'll do it. But you have to promise to help my brother!" I shouted at him. He nodded closing his eyes. I scowled daggers at him and plopped into the chair. This was going to be the longest year I ever had. He sat down in his father's chair as his father left the room.
"You'll need a new identity. Your going to America." He said. I blinked. America! For a whole year! I slumped but listened. This man had way too many expectations if you asked me. "Your new name is going to be Mekoga Shine." Mekoga? What the hell kinda name is that? I scrunched up my face at the horrible name, Naraku smiled, I growled.
"Here are your records!" he said handing me a folder. I looked over the forged information.
Name: Mekaga Shine
Transferred from: Tokyo, Japan
Specialty: On field practice and quickness
Place of work: The national museum of the United States.
Bla bla bla
You can guess the rest. I tossed it on the table with Souta's folder and the envelope. I glared up at him and stood up walking out the door without even saying goodbye. The folders would be delivered to me eventually. I didn't need to carry them around.
I ran to my house and began to pack for my trip. Oh wouldn't this be nice. Living somewhere I have never been too. It's a good thing I know English though. My mom's sister's husband was English so we learned how to speak the language from him.
I took a nice long nap after packing and when I woke up I went to the airport, all alone. At the airport I left Japan, all alone. On the plane I sat next to a stranger. Boy I was being sociable wasn't I?
Once I arrived in America I knew at once I needed a new look. Naraku told me that I had to go to a meeting the next day and get introduced to all the other agents. Won't that be fun? No I really don't think so. So here I was, land I don't know, nobody within a thousand foot radius that I know. This is going to be one heck of a year...
Tomorrow I was going to the mall.
Well? What do you think? Good bad ugly? I hope you like it I got big dreams for this baby. So remember to review. It makes me update faster. Thanks for reading. Oh. I'm going to have this ball thing. And I'm going to hold a poll. If you want kagome to go with Miroku then tell me… if you want her to go with kouga then tell me.
