Chapter 3
I walk down all the stairs back to the hallway that I started out in. The little boy from before is waiting for me on the couch.
"Kikyo! Come on! Everyone is waiting!" He says excitedly.
I follow him through the TV room, into the kitchen and down some rickety wooden stairs. We come out in a musty basement, with one dangling light bulb lighting the room. There are eight chairs arranged in a semi-circle and an easel set up at the front. Six of the eight chairs are full and I recognize Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku and Sesshomaru. There is one guy that I do not recognize, but from the names I was given he is either Shippo or Kouga. The little boy is the other name.
The little boy and I take our seats and Sesshomaru stands up and walks to the easel. He takes off the black board to reveal a picture of a large white building.
"This is the Texcom Industries testing building just outside of town. They have been developing encrypting software that the CEO plans to sell for an estimated three billion to an unknown buyer. The plan is to infiltrate their security and steal the software."
He changes the board again to show the blueprints of the building.
"Kikyo. You will be, as usual, in charge of disabling the security systems. Here are the details and the blueprints."
He hands me a thick envelope of paper.
"Miroku. You will get a job at the Texcom and find passwords and other information we need."
"But Sesshomaru! I'm almost done my con! The old lady's about to cough up a million!"
"Leave it."
"Fine." Miroku sighs.
"Sango. You will go with Miroku to scout out the systems."
Sango nods.
"The rest of you will do what need to be done at the time so be prepared."
Kouga, Inuyasha and Shippo nod their heads in agreement and exchange secret smiles.
"And Shippo. Don't forget your lock picks this time."
The little boy looks embarrassed.
"Will you just forget about that?"
Everyone laughs at this but Sesshomaru and I. Our faces are both impassive.
When everyone had settled down we all walk up the stairs to the kitchen.
I continue through the TV room and am halfway up the stairs when I hear Sango's voice.
"Kikyo! Don't forget we have to cook tonight!" She shouts.
"I know. I'm just going to put this...upstairs." I shout back in my Kikyo- voice.
What would she call it? Her room? Their room?
"Ok! Hurry up!" She shouts back.
"Yah, yah yah." I mutter as I continue up the stairs.
I get to the landing and I am about to go in the closet when Inuyasha comes out of one of the bedrooms. He looks suspiciously at me for a second.
"Kikyo. I want to talk to you."
"Later. I need to go help with dinner." I reply.
"No. Now!" He barks.
He grabs my arm and before I can responds he drags me into the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ short and kinda slow. it will get more exciting soon though. ^_^
