Hello, hello, hello. See how much reviews helped me to update. Not many reviews, but still enough to make me feel happy with my story. Anyways, since there are so little, I can respond. Yay. In this chapter a little bit about kagome's past is pulled out. Sango and Kouga get introduced and Kikyo is mentioned.

Disclaimer: Nope. Inuyasha is not mine. Nope… nope siry. That… that goldfish there is though…. Yup… yup that goldfish there is mine. Yup siry

What a journey that was. You know where this journey landed me? This amazing journey to find out about that god danged note? Nowhere.  The farthest that I got was wall… the to the other side of the living room… and then to the other side. Need I go on?

I knew what I had to do. But did I really want to do it? No! Of course I didn't!  Who would want to? Not this girl, no! I can figure this out on my own! All by myself. I don't need anyone's help…

            "Hello?" ok so I had to get help. I can't do it all by myself. It's too hard. I cleared my throat holding the phone firmly. You can probably guess whom I'm talking to.

"Hello. May I ask who's calling?" came a high-pitched sound on the other side of the line. I could here the faint munching of gum and I rolled my eyes. God I hated secretaries!

"No." I said plainly. " You can get off your lazy ass and tell Naraku he has a phone call. Ok." I said snottily. Ok… so I was in a real bad mood. When your stressing over a little note for about 4 hours strait you would be a little grumpy too.

I twiddled my necklace as I waited for Naraku to get the phone. I heard the chair squeak as she stood up to go get her boss. I taped my foot waiting.

I glanced at my watch… still waiting. They were probably making out in his office. I was getting impatient. " HELLO! I'M WAITING!" I shouted in the phone.

"No need to shout." Came a calm cool collected voice. I rolled my eyes again.

"Yes there is. I have been waiting for ever." I growled in to the phone. I heard a soft chuckle. Stupid Naraku! "Look I got this note and I have no clue what it says." I muttered boredly.

There was a moment of silence. " Do you have a fax machine near by?" I almost fell at the business like sound in his voice. The fact that he didn't sound like he wanted something out of it truly scared me.

"Ummmm… yeah I should have one." I grabbed the little note and rushed off to the room that was made for working. I wouldn't call it an office really. Wait…yes I would. Offices are about the sizes of closets right?

I ran to the little fax machine in the corner, phone in hand. I placed the paper inside and faxed away. I heard it going to him on the other side of the line and waited for what he had to say. (A/N I have no clue how fax machines work… I'm guessing o.o)

"Ah-ha." I heard. " Get a pen and paper please. Don't want to forget this." He said. I nodded. Why did I nod? Its not like he can see me or anything. Or can he?

I shook the thought away and got out a pencil and paper waiting for what he had to say. " Ok here it is…

"Ms. Shine,

Go to the station at 11:00 pm. We are waiting. Station #10. Bring your stone. It's good to have you on the team. Oh and come Monday night please. Have a good evening Ms. Shine. We can't wait to meet you. Expect work out. Good night.

Boss man" I wrote quickly and smiled. That boss man thing was really annoying me, but hey what doesn't? I folded it up and smiled.

            "Your welcome." He said over the phone. I rolled my eyes and nodded.

            " Yeah, yeah… thanks." I muttered and hung up.  I sighed and plopped down on my chair looking around. My eyes met a small picture of a little girl smiling toothily at me. I smiled at it tenderly, but shook my head and laid the picture on its face. She had to wait. I can't see her yet.

I looked at the note once again and something clicked. Monday… what's today? I looked at the calendar and nearly fell over. Today was Monday! I looked at my clock- 10:30! I had a half an hour to get down to the station…

Ok this isn't a problem, its not that far. I can have my driver take me there quickly. Yes sir, I was going to keep a nice, cool head. I darted out of my apartment and down the stairs.

I got down the building, taking the stairs, the elevator was too slow, and ran out the doors as fast as I could. There was no car there; there wasn't anyone there. Oh yeah I had to call him to get a ride. Those dang drivers, can't they just be telepaths and come when you think of going somewhere?

I pulled out my cell quickly and dialed the number. It rang and rang… and rang. Finally someone picked up. " Hello?" a muffled voice said.

" I need a ride get down here!" I shouted into the phone. I heard a gulp on the other end.

"Sorry lady. It's my break. You're going to have to wait. Call back at 11:00." He said. I gaped at the phone. NOOoooo. This can't be. I hung up quickly without saying another word and started running toward the station.

What else was there to do? I glanced at my watch quickly. 10:40. At least I would get an exercise. I could feel my pulse everywhere and I breathed quickly. Why did I have to wear leather today? I hate running in leather!

I felt tiny droplets on my temples. Dang! It was going to rain. I looked at the sky, still running, still pulsing. It was dark and cloudy, not a star in sight. The light of the moon was masked, it seemed smeared from the light layer of clouds in front of it.

I glanced at my watch again. 10:45.  I could see little droplets appearing on it and frowned. I crashed into people's shoulders, but didn't stop. Why was it so important to get there on time? The rain was picking up. Puddles were forming.

10:50. I huffed, feeling my legs tensing. My body was yelling at me to stop. Rest. BREATH! I just breathed and ran. I stepped in a puddle, but ignored the water dripping down my leather pants. It was pouring now.

Thank goodness. I'm so happy. If it wasn't I'd be all sweaty and stinky when I arrived. But I'd still be really soaked. A sudden sense of Déjà vu came over me, but I shook it away. No time for that. I only have… I looked at my watch. 10:55! 5 minutes!

I jolted around a sharp corner, my black hair whipping my face and my arms balancing me out. I was almost there. How far have I ran? How far can I run? Oh well. My goal is close that's the only thing that matters.

On my arms were goose bumps. I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to grab a jacket. 10:53. 2 minutes. Come on girl you can do it. My legs disagreed, but I didn't stop.

I turned around another sharp corner, pretending there was a police car chasing me to speed me up. I always did love the thrill of a chase. I glanced at my wet watch. 10:54. I ran as fast as I could down the steps into the station.

Ok I'm in the station. Now where is the 10th station? Good god. I saw a flash of white and fallowed it to the station secretly. Yay. I found Inuyasha. I saw him go in the clearing and jumped up onto a metal bar up near the ceiling.

"Is she here yet?" Inuyasha asked. I could see Miroku and Sango standing huddled by a pillar. Inuyasha is so stupid! I was dripping wet and breathing hard. And he couldn't see me! None of them saw me!

"No." Sango said. A man in a big coat walked up. Long hair, head band. Kouga. He took off his big leather jacket and shook his umbrella.

"It's poring out there." He muttered grumpily. I hmphed in agreement.  Sure was.  My hair dripped on him. Oops. "It's raining in here too." He growled, opening his umbrella.

"Kouga, you know it's un-lucky to open a umbrella inside?" Sango asked cocking a brow.  Kouga shrugged. I rolled my hair over him, letting all the gathered water spill onto his umbrella.

Now was my entry time. I jumped out of the ceiling, doing a quick flip and landing gracefully on my feet. Legs perfectly strait and arms on my hips. I rubbed my chin.

I nodded to Miroku " Hello Miroku." I said then turned to Inuyasha, waving a little. I shifted my weight. Wait, I was supposed to be friendly. I smacked myself mentally. "Golden eyes…" I muttered smirking at him.

"Mekaga… so nice of you to join us." He said, smiling fakely. I smiled sweetly at him and turned to other two. Not supposed to know them. Remember that!

"What? No introductions?" I asked trying my best to smile. Miroku smiled and waved at me.

"Kouga." Kouga said putting out his hand to shake mine. I looked at his hand. It could have bugs (mechanical spy bugs) on it. I looked at his face then at the hand. Be bugged or be friendly? My hand reached out for his slowly and I hoped against hope that I wasn't bugged.

"I'm Sango." The woman said. I smiled and nodded. I rubbed my chin in thought, examining them all.

"Well…" I muttered turning my attention to Inuyasha. " Why am I h-h-" I let out a sneeze. God I was probably going to get a cold now. Sneezes always come in 2s. I sneezed again, shaking my head as if to shake away the sickness.

"Bless you." Miroku and Sango said at the same time. I nodded to them absentmindedly. " Why did you bring me here?" I said quickly

" We just wanted to welcome you." Inuyasha said. I tilted my head. "And to tell you about her." He said handing me a folder. I looked at the folder. Oh yeah. I'm a secret agent now; I get all new messages that always come in folders! (Not cool spyglasses) Joy!

I nearly fainted when I saw the name in front of me. Kagome Higaroshi! That would be me! "We don't have any information on her. Just that her family died when she was young and her brother's body is missing. That bit about her brother is secret by the way, not even she knows. There aren't any pictures of her that we can get our hands on. She's a really good thief." Kouga informed me. I nodded. Oh yeah, go me, who's untraceable? I am! Oh yeah, go me.

"And she's after a very special jewel." Sango added. I gave her a fake curious look, still celebrating the fact that they couldn't find any information on me in my mind. " She's young too. She's younger then all of us. Miroku's worked on a case with her involved before though. He lost, but he knows a little about her tactics."

Wait. Why didn't I know this? Miroku… now that I think about it that does sound familiar.  And he switched partners from a different group. Well this isn't good. I just nodded as they talked, not really taking in anything they said, starring at Miroku.

~(A/N next is a flash back sequence, its just flashes not full scenes so I won't switch scenes but the lines with * next to them are the lines that Kagome says the other ones are other people talking to her, all the quotes without an * is someone talking to her and the un quoted things are describing what it was like if you see a line by itself then it means that it is a flashback ok. Cause I think I'll put in some random ones.)~

'Wait stop! You thief!'

Rain.

I was running.

'Please. I need to hide.'*

'I can't keep doing this'

'Higaroshi!'

Wind, lots of wind.

'Mommy!'

'I don't want my daughter to grow up like this.'

'Our daughter! She is our daughter!'*

Crying, she was crying.

'I'll be back someday sweetie. Shhh, don't cry, mommy will be back.'*

'Promise?'

'Higaroshi!'

The words repeated in my mind. That night. I shook my head and smiled at the others. "Here. There is going to be a ball held on the 15th. Be there." Inuyasha said handing me an invitation.  I blinked.

"Why?" I asked.

"There's an exhibit on diamonds." My ears perked up. " She loves stones." Miroku said. I nodded. "Well lets get going to the gym." He added.

Wait… gym? I can't work out in this out fit. Dang. Sango saw the look on my face, I think. "Mekaga, do you need something to work out in?" She asked. I blinked and looked at her.

She seemed to take that as a yes and grabbed my arm, linking it with hers and walking away from the men. I starred ahead of me in shock. She waved and said that she'd meet them there. I was just sitting there starring at our arms.

We climbed into her red mustang, and we were off. " So how did you get so wet? Did you walk to the station?"  I starred at her, wondering. It has been a long time since someone was so friendly to me.

"Kind of. You know, you guys really should send those notes a little bit earlier. I just got it this evening." I said. Sango laughed. I didn't. My eyes glazed over a little and I starred at my shoes. Long time since I had someone to laugh with.

"Hey you ok?" She asked me tenderly. I blinked and looked at her again. My eyes softened a little when they met hers.

"Yeah. Just wondering how you can be so trusting?" I said silently. She just smiled at me.

"Well, when you've lost as many people as I have, you'd be just as eager to have a lot of friends as I am. I hate making enemies." She said and her smile widened.

I brushed a wet strand of hair out of my face and nodded. When we got to her clean house. Her very, very clean house I couldn't help but stare. All over the walls were framed pictures.

There was one of her and a boy, hugging happily. There was a portrait of the boy. And there was a group picture of her, Kouga, Inuyasha and a woman. They were in beachwear. Inuyasha was hugging the girl from behind and Sango was doing bunny ears on Kouga.

Kouga had his arms folded and was glaring at Sango, who appeared to be laughing. They looked so happy, well not Kouga… but I'm sure he was happy inside…somewhere. The girl in the picture with Inuyasha looked so familiar. I traced my finger over it lightly as Sango hurried back to her room.

I moved along. There was a portrait of the girl, smiling serenely. I tilted my head, thinking to myself. Where had I seen that face before? I moved on. There were so many group pictures with those four, and more portraits of people I had never seen, and Inuyasha and Kouga.

I moved to another wall and there was another picture of the boy there, starring at the camera with saddened eyes. There was a portrait of the girl too. She looked like an angel, and her emotion was untraceable (like me). On that wall was nothing but portraits, there where a lot of them, but Inuyasha, Kouga, and Miroku weren't on this wall. Miroku wasn't on any walls now that I think about it.

"Here put this o- oh I see you've found my special wall." I turned around, rubbing my hands on my bare arms. She looked at the wall behind me. " I only put people who have died on that wall." She said, eyes glazing over.

I gasped at the amount, but shook away the shock and grabbed the cloths she was holding, making my way to the bathroom. Ignoring the funny look she gave me.

I came out again with a pair or loose sweat pants and a sports top that revealed a lot of my flesh. She handed me some tennis shoes and I put them on quickly. "Ok lets get going, before the guys think we've ditched them!" She said smiling. I nodded and fallowed her out.

We drove to some big building and she led me down about 20 corridors and finally into a big huge gym. " Took you long enough." Came a snobby voice from the other side of the gym.

Kouga was walking over to us, and he was drenched in sweat, no shirt or anything. Nice six pack… I thought to myself, and shook my head remembering my hatred for the male sex. I think he noticed I was starring cause he kind of striked the pose, you know? I rolled my eyes. Men!

"Yeah, whatever. Lets just get started. What are we…" My sentence ended as I was shoved into the wall.  I was pinned to the wall by whom? I'll give you three guess.

Lets skip the guesses. I was pinned to the wall by Inuyasha. I let out a quick gasp, my eyes open in fear. Fear! Kagome Higaroshi never got scared! But his golden eyes bore deep into mine. Was this familiar? Yes. It really, really was.

A ring

'Stay mine'

'Always…'*

Something hit me like a stone. His eyes. His hair! It was the same. I'm confusing you. I'll stop and get back to the present where I was struggling for breath. Inuyasha had the side of his arm pressed just above my chest.

Ok that was enough of that! I kneed him in the gut and jumped over him, landing normally and getting ready for a fight. Sango, Kouga and Miroku jumped off to the side. He jumped and turned around facing me. I couldn't help myself. I smirked.

I swear I heard music in the background. Really pump-up-the-jam type of music. He smiled as well and I heard random cheers for him and me. It had been a long time since I went one on one with someone. Should be fun.

He ran at me and I jumped up, he jumped up as well, chasing me. For a while I just jumped out of his way. But just as he was running for another attack I hit him with a spinning back kick. He flew back, but landed on his feet. " Nice." I heard him say.

I don't usually use my hands while fighting. I usually use my legs instead. Again with cat and mouse. I almost tripped though, landing on Kouga's wet shirt.

But I jumped just in time to avoid one of his dangerous hands.

'Are you going soft on me?'*

He pounced

Tom and jerry would go out of business if this continued. Left, right, left, right, right! He had more energy then me! I had to run all the way here. I glared at him sourly and did one of the old cheerleading kicks, right in his jaw. I flipped back, landing with my arms out to balance me out.

I charged at him for a turn, spinning and kicking. I felt a few of them hit. All I used my hands for was balance. I got a glimpse at Sango who was holding up a big banner that read. ' GO MEKAGA!' Mekaga? Who's that? Oh yeah! Me! Duh…

Where did she get that? I want one. I heard another shout as well. " Go for the legs Inuyasha! She uses her legs the most!" That would be Miroku. I gasped. Oh no!

His leg shot under me, to trip me. I jumped up and when I came down to the ground, his rounded again. I jumped again. I don't know how long that went on, but I knew that I wouldn't last very long that way.

I jumped over him, and I wasn't expecting his leg to shoot under me.

'You'll fall for me.'

'In your dreams.'*

'Of course'

I fell to the ground. Gasping. He stood over me laughing. "I win." I was breathing deeply, but I split my legs open, causing him to fall backwards.

"In your dreams." I muttered. I lay there, breathing. Just breathing. I heard the woops and hollers of Sango and the grumbles from Miroku. I pushed myself off the floor, shaking my head and clapping my hands.

Inuyasha was starring at me, for some reason, I don't know. But he didn't move he just lay there, starring at me. " Come on man, your ego isn't that bad…" I muttered and did the friendliest thing I could think of. I offered him my hand.

He pushed it away with a frown and stood up, dusting himself off. I pulled my hand back and glared daggers at him. " Be that way then." I muttered and walked to the other side of the room where Kouga was. I had to make friends with someone. Well Sango is a given.

'Go! Get out!'

I was crying.

'Please. She needs me-'*

'Just go!'

There were tears in his eyes.

For the first time there were tears in his eyes.

'Fine! But I will come back! And that's a promise.'*

I ran.

It was raining.

'Mama!'

Her moans fallowed me.

And I ran.

Well? What do you think? Sorry if there are a lot of mistakes, I did it in a hurry, I wanted to get it posted tonight… so yeah, no time to correct. Anyways. Who do you think this mystery person is from the past? Buahahahaha. I know.

*Gasp* Kagome is a mother! Oh dear, stay tuned and find out what happens with Kouga. Kikyo is brought further into the plot. Did you catch her in this chapter? She wasn't that hard to miss. Well Review! And have a nice day!

Signing out with lots of love!
