Prologue
Kagome signed for the brown envelope and thanked the deliveryman with a generous tip. A number was the only thing printed on the uninteresting envelope. It read: 9604326 in typed letters.
Kagome had held many of these envelopes in the past two years. She opened the envelope with a sigh and pulled out the thick folder of papers. On top was a short typed letter. She read the words with a slight, uncharacteristic feeling of dread. They outlined her orders as briefly as possible:
'9604326
Objective: infiltrate the Kyuuketsuki Gang and gather information to prove them guilty of drug related murders. (See file for newspaper clippings and coroner reports)
Method: Due to striking resemblance to member of Kyuuketsuki, Kikyo, administer a sedative and kidnap. Take Kikyo's identity. (Study files on past of Kikyo)
If you chose to accept this mission sign on indicated line.'
After considering the letter for a few moments Kagome opened the file to a picture of Kikyo. They were right. Kagome and Kikyo looked very similar, like twins truthfully.
Kikyo's hair was a few inches shorter and a few shades darker. It would be easy to become Kikyo.
Kagome signed her name and put the letter in another envelope to be sent when the deliveryman returned. She read the files and realized that she would have to learn and memorize much about Kikyo's past to be a convincing double.
It bugged her that there was another person with the same face as her own just strolling around downtown.
Reading the files she found that Kikyo was the poster child for a neglected street kid. her mother was a heroin addict who put out for anyone willing to five her money or smack. No one knows who here father was. Kikyo's mother was murdered when she was seven but the police never found the killer. Though there was no indication that Kikyo also was a drug addict Kagome suspected she was. The files showed that she and some other street kids formed the Kyuuketsuki gang a few years ago.
The problem Kagome faced was all the holes of time in Kikyo's past. It was impossible to tell what had happened during those times that no one knew where she was.
She looked at the short profiles of all the other member of the gangs. There were no pictures, only tentative descriptions of each and a name. She'd have to figure out who was who as she went along.
After Kagome had finished reading the file she realized the first thing she needed to do was go to get her hair cut and dyed so she could slip immediately into role when she kidnapped Kikyo.
Kagome walked from her apartment to a hair stylist close by. She explained that the picture was of her and it was a style from a few years back that she wished to have again. The stylist nodded and set to work tinting and then cutting Kagome's hair so it matched Kikyo's exactly.
