"So what should we do?" Sango took a sip of coffee Inuyasha had picked up before he had gotten into Fang.

"I don't care," Inuyasha sighed leaning back in Fang. "At least I'll have a whole month of strength before having to hide again like a pathetic puppy.

"Don't worry. You're the best agent in America. You'll find her before then." Sango sighed looking down at the ring on her finger.

Inuyasha's eyes traveled to her hand and then to the ring. "Sango . . ." Inuyasha whined.

"Leave it alone Inuyasha. It's not your business anyway!" Sango pushed Fang's door open and rushed from the car.

"d*** it Sango!" Inuyasha slowly slid out and followed her to the edge of the waves.

"It's not you who loved someone and thought they loved you back! It's not YOU who was willing to do anything for someone and then they leave you all alone! It's not you . . . Who was abandoned and taken advantage of!" Sango just stood there in silence, as did Inuyasha.

"Sango . . .I . . ." Inuyasha walked over to her and sighed, 'I hate when women cry, I feel so d*** useless!' Inuyasha knew what had happened. He had been there the whole time she was with Juujoumaru and knew he was a demon with another inside him. Inuyasha had told her but she didn't care. "Go ahead. Cry," Inuyasha let Sango weep into his shoulder while he stood there. All he could think about though was someone else.

Kagome.

She looked so much like Kikyo.

***

Kagome and Miroku spent the night alone in their rooms both wondering where their roommates were. Kagome had just figured Sango was out with Inuyasha doing something. Miroku, on the other hand, was not thinking much about Inuyasha.

Or Sango.

"Naraku's alias is Onigumo. Disguise, baboon suit, has five known detachments. What the h--- does he need five for?" Miroku growled and slammed his file down. "I will avenge you father." With that Miroku closed his eyes knowing the next day would be the day he would never forget.

***

"I'm sorry I acted so d*** sissy on you Inuyasha." Sango sighed as she laid looking up at the sky from the docks. "It's just knowing tomorrow is when we start is just innerving." Sango wiped the last tear away and looked out at the ocean.

"Whatever," Inuyasha sighed. "Did you know that there was a pool at their base?" Inuyasha tried to make conversation.

"Really? Well that's cool." Sango smiled and looked back at the ocean. "I wish I could use it."

"You never let me teach you," Inuyasha defended. "Come on," Inuyasha waded into the water.

Sango thought about it for a second. "At night?"

Inuyasha pulled off his t-shirt and dived into the water disappearing. Seconds later he appeared on the bank with a smug grin on his face. "Get in."

"Fine," Sango walked into the water and crouched down stupidly. "This is stupid Inuyasha," She should have been talking to a brick wall.

"Take a deep breath and then lay down." Inuyasha continued to instruct her all during the night until she could do a good doggy paddle, float, and back stroke.

***

"What is it sir?" Kagome walked into the boss' office and glanced around the dark room. Sir stood in front of the same filing cabinet.

"There's been a change in plans," Sir motioned for her to take a seat in a leather chair across his polished desk.

"What do you mean?" Kagome was nervous, 'Does this mean my mission . . .has been cancelled?' Kagome's heartbeat sped up and she could feel it in her ears.

"We have word on the Shikon no tama. It's being transferred to a scientist for some kind of examination. We think it's for a new security system that confirms its safety based on different aspects of it." Sir took a short pause and looked at Kagome. She was listening intently. "Kikyo won't be there but a lot of her people will be. They don't know you, or what you look like. Be mindful of that. They will be making the transaction at the Sakura Ball."

"So that means I'm going to try to acquire the Shikon no tama there?" Kagome's eyes widened with excitement. This was more like a spy movie all the time . . . The only difference was she could kick butt and NOT get caught. She smiled to herself and nodded.

"The ball, as you know, will be held tomorrow. So get some sleep and good luck Higurashi." Sir sighed and turned around as Kagome closed the door behind her. "Good luck my sunshine . . ." Sir sighed and quickly shook the memories from his mind.

***

"Well it looks like you learned how to swim. That'll come in handy today won't it?" Inuyasha turned the corner towards the garage of the base.

"Yeah . . . Thank you." Sango smiled. "Inuyasha?"

"What?"

"Be careful. You're the only family I have." Sango took in a deep breath and looked out the window.

'Family?' Inuyasha liked that, he didn't have any family of his own and Sango was the closest he had since his mother. "Feh, you better not get killed." Inuyasha grinned as they parked. "Go on ahead Sango, I'll see you soon." Inuyasha waited for Sango to leave before he pulled out Kikyo's picture again. "D*** it Kikyo. You wench! Why make my life such a d***ed h-- -?" Inuyasha quickly put the picture away when his cell phone rang.

"hello?" Shippou sighed on the other end waiting for a reply.

"Shippou? What the h---?" Inuyasha slid out of Fang and closed the door.

"Change of plans. You're going to the Sakura Ball today. NOT her hide out. There's gonna be a pass over of the Shikon Jewel to some scientist for a new security program. He's trustworthy and knows Kikyo would kill him if he ran with it. But anyway, you'll need to try and get the jewel there." Shippou drummed his small fingers on the desk and grinned. "You get what I just said riiiiiight?"

"Shut up kitsune brat!" Inuyasha growled, "I get every d*** word. So when is the Sakura Ball and where's it being held?"

"The Sakura mansion. Some rich authoress lives there, part miko. She's the one of the richest people in all of Japan and she is holding the ball there. Her name's Sakura Katsana." (A/N: Hai! I had to put me in here to see Inuyasha. I admit it! ^.^)

"And the time it's being held would be . . .?" Inuyasha sighed.

"7 Tokyo time." Shippou looked at his computer screen. "So you have nine hours." Shippou cleared his throat. "So how was the new moon?"

"Taught Sango how to swim. That's basically it." Inuyasha sighed, "So how are you and *Ayume*?" Inuyasha grinned to himself when the other side of the line became quiet.

"Shut up!" Shippou growled, "It's none of your business."

"Feh," Inuyasha laughed. "I'll call you with the details once I get some more info." Inuyasha began walking out of the garage and began talking in Japanese. "Ja ne."

"Ja ne." Shippou sighed and then there was a click on the other side. "Inuyasha, you better not leap into this . . ."

***

"Yeah . . . I learned how to swim Shippou . . ." Sango rolled her eyes but couldn't hold back a laugh. "Uh huh Shippou. She asked you something huh?" Sango giggled. "Well lucky you!"

"Well yeah. Anyway back to business . . . You need to go to the Sakura Ball. Naraku will be there and he'll be under his alias."

"Onigumo?" Sango questioned. "The baboon skin right?"

Shippou shuddered, "Yes. I have no clue why. It's so d*** obvious but yeah." Shippou could picture Naraku wearing the baboon skin and grinning stupidly while Sango kicked his butt. "It's being held at the Sakura Mansion by Sakura Katsana. She has nothing to do with it though. Just an innocent by stander so don't get suspicious. Also it's at 7 so you don't have much time for an extra practice. Good luck Sang."

"Thanks Ship." Sango laughed and then hung up. "Our little nicknames . . ."

***

"Ayushima, your mission is being altered a bit," Sir closed the folder on his desk. "Naraku's going to be at the Sakura ball tonight and you'll need to go. He will be in his usual baboon skin and his alias, Onigumo." Sir shifted his position and then let out a sigh. "Be careful Miroku, I know you want to avenge your father but going in blindly won't do any good."

"I know sir," Miroku nodded. "I will be precautious. Do not worry, I will not fail you or my father." With that Miroku left the room for he already new the details of the famous Sakura Ball and the famous girl holding it.

***

In two hours Inuyasha would be off towards the Sakura Ball after someone he'd known for years. He would be hunting her ready to kill her the second she was off guard. Inuyasha sighed and looked over at Miroku who was hastily reading over a manila folder.

Miroku looked up to see Inuyasha already digging through his suitcase in search of something. "So Inuyasha? When do you leave for your mission?" Miroku glanced at the clock on his wall it showed 5:30PM.

"Today," Inuyasha grunted as he heaved his rather heavy bag onto his bed. "You?"

"Today," Miroku returned to reading. 'Coincidence . . . Inuyasha and I having our missions start on the same day? Kagome's too?' Miroku shrugged it off and went off in search of Kagome.

Inuyasha pulled out his Tux and laid it down as he continued digging for a small container. 'Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?' Inuyasha repeated it to himself over and over until he found the small silver case with a small keyhole. Inuyasha pulled out a small key from his pocket and opened the container to see seven small darts.

***

"Kagome?" Miroku knocked on the side of her door as she looked up.

"Yeah?" Kagome turned wearing a black silk kimono with white and gold flowers embroidered in it. A small chain attached itself from the back of the left shoulder to the right. She held a brush in her hand and a few pins in her mouth in attempt to fix her hair.

"You look beautiful." Miroku gave a faint smile. "Where are you going? Isn't your mission today?"

"Thanks and exactly." That was code for, 'Thanks for the compliment but sorry, wish I could say but can't.' Kagome twisted her hair into a braided bun and pinned it high up. She rushed towards her full-length mirror and applied dark red lipstick and misty gray eye shadow.

"Ah." Miroku walked in and snuck a peek at a Chobits manga. "I wanted to wish you luck Kagome. Don't worry, you will be able to do it be strong like you always are."

"Thanks. You do the same." She smiled and gave him a quick reassuring hug.

"Well I better get ready, it's already 6." Miroku gave her a faint wave and left the room heading for his own.

Inuyasha straightened his tux and made sure his Tetsusaiga couldn't be seen through the pants. He pulled out a purple dart from the case and closed his eyes. "I hate this crap." He growled and stabbed his right arm's main vein with the dart quickly. He could feel a numbness going towards his dog-ears and soon they were gone. He looked in the mirror to inspect Shippou's handiwork.

"Thank you kitsune. At least your magic isn't annoying." Inuyasha smirked and turned away grabbing up Fang's keys.

"You're leaving then?" Miroku entered the room throwing down his folder and walking to his drawers.

"Yeah." Inuyasha picked up his keys and began walking to the door.

"Good luck." Miroku smiled and then turned back to his closet.

"Same to you," Inuyasha gave a faint nod and then began walking down the hallway towards the garage.

"Inuyasha!" Sango came rushing down the hall in the same kimono she had worn to the restaurant on their first day there.

"Sango?" Inuyasha cocked his head to the side in thought. 'Why's she dressed up too? Why the h--- is all this crap so d*** confusing?!' Inuyasha sighed and looked back at his friend that was staring back.

"Can I have a ride?" Sango smiled.

"Feh, it depends where the h--- you're going." Inuyasha walked with Sango down the hall as they talked about where she was 'going'.

'I can't let him know EXACTLY where I'm going, if he lets me off a block away then I'll be fine.' Sango smiled to herself and they both slid into Inuyasha's car. As Inuyasha backed Fang out of it's parking spot Inuyasha could have sworn he saw Kagome slide into her car wearing a kimono herself. 'What the h--- is going on?'

***

Kagome started up her car and pulled out of the parking space. "Where are they going?' Kagome decided to ignore it and she pulled out onto the road.

***

Miroku walked over to his car that sat next to Kagome's. He barely ever used it because it was better riding in Kagome's car. He slid in and turned it on as the J-Pop station began to play. The announcement for the Sakura Ball was on . . .

"The Sakura Ball will be celebrated tonight at seven o'clock. Katsana Sakura, the famous authoress and miko, is holding it. The richest woman in Tokyo has invited most of Tokyo to attend. And now here's Call Me, Call Me by The Seatbelts." The radio DJ began to play the song as Miroku drove towards the mansion where he would be able to annihilate the one who killed his father and was bringing so much grief to people all over the globe.

***

Inuyasha stopped at the curb about a block away from the Sakura Mansion. "I'll see you soon Sango, be careful." Inuyasha wouldn't admit it but part of him was afraid he might never see Sango again. With all the people working for Naraku it would be a challenge. 'I know she can do it, she'll kill that yarou and be safe.' Inuyasha nodded as they said their goodbyes as he pulled away from the busy curb and headed towards the Sakura Mansion.

***

Inuyasha turned the final corner and passed through the high silver gates of Sakura Mansion along with other imported cars and limos. He sighed knowing he'd be spending his night with snobby idiots and he wasn't too happy. He pulled up to the valet and sped on by despite the attendant's arguments. "No d***ed baka is going to drive Fang," Inuyasha scoffed as he parked his car where most of the other expensive non-limos were.

Inuyasha got out of Fang and walked towards the mansion. "D*** . . ." Inuyasha looked up at the mansion in front of him. There were 14 columns surrounding the grand entrance, all the columns were silver. The steps were covered in silver - no not red- carpet and a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.

He liked this place.

Inuyasha sighed and nodded respectfully at the waiter that welcomed him into the large ballroom. As he entered his invisible dog-ears caught many different conversations, which caused him to become annoyed. Then he saw her, Sakura Katsana.

***

Sango reached the mansion and looked on its silver beauty. Everything that could be the color silver was and she knew if Inuyasha were there that he'd love it.

She walked up towards the steps and stopped. Out of the corner of her eye she swore she saw Miroku in a tux. 'No. Get him off your mind baka!' She shrugged it off and continued up the stairs and entered the large ballroom. She looked around and saw a girl who looked to be around thirteen chatting with the guests. As she walked down the steps she tried to get a look to see if any baboon-skin-wearing men were dwelling.

***

Miroku had made it and he was relieved that now was his chance to kill the baka known as Naraku. He would be easy to find right? Baboon skin? Too easy. "Thank you," Miroku nodded to the attendant and allowed his car to be taken by the man to be parked. He needed to blend in as much as possible. "Wait!" Miroku darted his gaze up to the top of the stairs where a very beautiful girl stood smiling at the waiter. It looked almost like . . .

"Sango!" Miroku was in shock. 'What the h--- is she doing here? It's not safe if Naraku's here!' Miroku tried to get to her but failed because at that same moment a jet-black limo pulled up and a young girl exited. She had black hair herself in a tight pony-bun* and her eyes were scarlet red.

***

"Finally!" Kagome got out of her car and allowed an attendant to park it as she quickly walked towards the stairs leading to the Sakura Mansion. "D***." Kagome looked at the massive size and gasped. It was the largest thing she'd ever seen. Kagome quickly entered the ballroom to see many other people talking and laughing with each other. Almost everyone had a glass of sake or a foreign drink called a martini.

Kagome looked around trying to spot any sign of strange activity but to no avail. "This is going to be a long night," Kagome sighed as she took a martini from a passing waiter. Kagome bit off the olive and sighed. "So this is what a martini tastes like?" She laughed. "Not even 21."

"Hello," A young girl with dark brown hair and eyes smiled at Kagome from behind.

"Oh! Hi!" Kagome smiled as she turned to face a girl. She was about thirteen years old and she wore silver eye shadow and a silver kimono.

"I'm Sakura. Katsana Sakura." Sakura laughed at the look on Kagome's face. "And your name is . . .?"

"Higurashi Kagome." Kagome smiled. "You're Sakura?"

"I'm younger than you thought right?" Sakura smiled. "Well I guess by that look I'm right. Well anyway it's nice to meet you Ms. Higurashi."

"You can call me Kagome." Kagome smiled and took a sip of her martini. "So you're a miko?"

"Yeah. I'm real good with a bow but there's not much need for a miko around here and plus I spend a lot of time writing mangas and regular books anyway." Sakura smiled. "Let me introduce you to one of the guests here. He's really nice and I think you'd hit it off really well." Sakura walked through the crowd greeting people as she passed. Then she stopped by a crowd of giggling girls who were flirting shamelessly with the guy in the middle.

"What the-?" Kagome couldn't finish because Sakura had stuck her hand into the cluster of girls and pulled a grateful someone out.

"Well I see you made it out alive." Sakura smiled gesturing towards Kagome. "Inuyasha, this is Kagome."

The boy who had been looking back at the group of crazy girls in terror now turned to look at Kagome in the face.

His white hair was a dead giveaway. "I-Inuyasha?" Kagome's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the guy in front of her.

"Kagome?" He looked from Kagome to Sakura in complete confusion.

"You know each other? Well that's great! I'll leave you to talk, some of these people have been nagging me for autographs anyway." With that Sakura walked gracefully towards a group of guys that held her mangas in their hands.

"What the h--- are you doing here?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Me? What the h--- are *you* doing here?" Kagome retorted.

"Why the h--- should I tell you?" Inuyasha growled.

"This is getting us nowhere," Kagome sighed. "Why are you here?"

"I can't tell you." Inuyasha growled. "Get out now while it's safe." He warned and then turned to see a man with a briefcase looking at his watch.

"What do you . . . mean . . . by . ." Kagome's voice trailed off as she followed Inuyasha's gaze.

"The trade off," Both said in unison.

Inuyasha whipped around to look at Kagome in the eyes. "What?"

"The. Trade. Off." Kagome growled. "What the h--- is going on?"

"How in all the hells am I supposed to know?" Inuyasha growled looking back at the guy walking towards another man in the corner. "Get out now before you get in the way!" Inuyasha hissed.

"No. I can't and WON'T!" Kagome shoved Inuyasha to the side. Kagome saw Inuyasha being surrounded back into the group of giggling girls once more. "That should hold him." She grinned and continued to watch the two men from the corner of her eye. This was good that the trade off was here. She followed a few feet behind the two men who were creeping through Sakura's mansion.

"The Shikon no tama is inside this briefcase." The shorter man dressed in a tux handed it to the other. "Kikyo says she'll be sending for it tomorrow. So watch it."

"Hai hai. I respect Kikyo's wishes and I know the fate of the one who carries this for too long." The scientist motioned for the handler to leave as he shifted the suitcase to his left hand.

Kagome stood up against the wall behind a tree as the worker of Kikyo left back towards the party. "Perfect," Kagome whispered. She pulled her slender collapsible bow out from her inner thigh where it had been secured and launched a bow. Kagome crept up slowly behind the scientist and pointed the bow to the back of his head. "Don't even breathe."

***

Inuyasha pushed fiercely through the still-giggling girls and looked around. "D*** you Kagome." He hissed. "Wait!" He sniffed the air and caught her scent. 'You thought you would just take this on your own don't you?' Inuyasha quickly dodged the approaching hoard of girls and began for the room where Kagome was.

***

"Who are you?" The man cursed under his breath once he noticed the arrow tip had not moved. "What the h--- do you want?"

"The question is what did I tell you?" Kagome grinned. "I told you not to even breathe." Then Kagome felt a sharp something stab her in the shoulder. 'What the h---?' Kagome collapsed just as her hand reached out for the briefcase.

"That wench didn't stand a chance." The man brushed himself off and smiled in the direction where the dart had come from. "I know I can always rely on my people."

"Whatever," Kagura sighed and stepped over Kagome. "That dart contained a temporary paralyzing poison. She won't be able to move for a while." With that Kagura turned and walked over to the door.

***

Inuyasha could smell blood along with a strong poison. 'Kagome!' She was all he could think about as he ran down the hall as two people walked out. The girl was straightening up her kimono as the man was redoing his tie. 'Something isn't right.' Inuyasha growled as they passed him.

"You are a very bright girl, Kagura." The scientist grinned.

"Yeah, he actually thought I'd be doing something with *you*." Kagura walked off leaving the scientist standing slightly insulted in the ballroom.

Inuyasha rushed into the room to see Kagome with a rather long dart protruding from her right shoulder. A trail of blood ran from the dart down her back. "Kagome!" Inuyasha rushed to her side and quickly removed the dart. It disintegrated in his hands. "What the h--- happened?"

Kagome tried moving her mouth but it only shook. She tried to move her arms and legs but they only shook in response. 'D*** it! The paralyzing dart worked too d*** fast! I can't move anything. I can't even blink and h--- do I need to.' Kagome's eyes were filled with anger and desperation.

"D*** it! That wench . . . She poisoned you with paralyzing powder didn't she?" Inuyasha growled and dug into his inner pocket. He finally found what he was looking for and pulled it out. The little black container, which still held 6 small darts. "Your darts do come in handy kitsune," Inuyasha grinned and picked out a green dart.

Kagome looked at the dart with her eyes burning like fire. She needed to blink or her vision would be damaged. (A/N: It's true that if you don't blink for long enough then your eyesight can become damaged. Keep in mind it's been like five minutes without blinking. Now that's pain. BTS) 'What is he doing with that? I thought he was an agent? Is this how he's going to get me out of the way?' Kagome's eyes would have widened if she could have.

Inuyasha could smell her fear and sighed shaking his head. "Calm down wench. I'm not going to kill you. Now brace yourself, this might sting." Inuyasha pricked her with the small dart in the side and waited.

Kagome felt not only a sting but also a burning sensation go through her veins towards the wound of the first dart. Her eyes were burning still. She still couldn't blink and her arms were cramping up. "D-d***," she winced as a spasm in her leg started. She could barely talk but at least it was something. "Need . . . T-to . . . Blin . . . Kah." She tried to force the words from her mouth but Inuyasha's dart wasn't taking full effect yet.

Inuyasha looked down at the girl in front of him. He knew she was in pain he hadn't been through in a long time. Then he did something he never thought that he would do. He inched closer to her and knelt down farther. He reached out and forced her eyelids shut and then reopened them again. 'Why do the gods put me through such crap?' He inwardly sighed as he saw the shocked expression coming to the girls face.

'Did he just-?' Kagome stopped as she felt the spasms slowly leaving and her breathing to become normal instead of rigid once again. "What's going on?" Kagome sputtered. "Why are we both here?"

"I told you. I don't know and I don't give a d***. Just get out of my way." Inuyasha growled. "I told you you'd get in the way and you proved me right! Now the Shikon Jewel is lost again! Another opportunity wasted!" Inuyasha regretted the words as soon as they spilled from his mouth. 'Why is she so able to make me talk?' He growled and dashed from the room. If he stayed around her any longer he'd have told her everything.

***

Sango looked around the large ballroom once more and couldn't spot anyone who would be Naraku. "D***," She cursed. Sango walked towards a group of girls and scoffed. "Probably some rich guy showing off his cash." Then something clicked in her mind. 'Naraku's rich!' She pushed through the crowd as far as she could before being blocked by some stubborn girls. A hand reached through the crowd and groped her.

Sango growled and flipped the person over her head. 'If that's Naraku . . ." Sango looked at the shocked girls' faces and then down to the person she had flipped over. "Miroku?!"

"Sango?" Miroku blinked several times before the girls realized that Sango must be his girlfriend and they all sadly shuffled away. "What the h---?"

"What the h--- are you doing here?" Sango growled helping the hentai up.

"I'm here on my mission," Miroku stated obviously. "Why else would I leave the base for my mission, come here, and then be working?"

"Working? WORKING?! How the h--- is groping people working?" Sango growled.

"Do not misunderstand Sango, I was merely looking for a certain girl. I thought that was the best way." Miroku sighed.

"What exactly is your mission Miroku?" Sango's eyes widened.

"I can't tell you that Sango. Although I know I could trust you it is against orders." Miroku had a look of disappointment in his eyes. "I'm sorry."

"Whatever. Just get out of my way and we'll call it even ok?" Sango turned only to be grabbed by the wrist. "Let go Miroku!"

"If we're here for the same reason neither of us is going to back down." Miroku reasoned. "We'll be quiet about this Sang."

"Sang?" Sango eyed Miroku strangely but let it slide. "Whatever, Mir." She punched him jokingly like she would Inuyasha and then walked off. She saw a flash of silver but thought nothing of it since most of the things were and Sakura herself was in a silver kimono.

Miroku stood there until he saw a glimpse of who he thought to be Kagome. He walked past a few fat rich men talking about how they made their fortunes and then he saw her. Kagome was standing by a waiter with a martini in her hand. "Kagome?" Miroku walked over to her and she looked up in shock.

"Miroku! You're here?" Kagome couldn't take the confusion.

Both Kagome and Miroku had the basically the same thought going through their heads at this very moment. "Inuyasha/Sango is here too!" They said in unison.

"S-Sango?" Kagome looked around and sure enough there was Sango talking happily with Sakura. "Why the h--- are we all here?" Kagome cursed more under her breath.

"You should tell her we're all here and that we need to figure this out." Kagome looked over at Sango who was sipping at her drink. "Hey she's not 21!"

"You're not either." Miroku stated dryly.

"Oh come on." Kagome made her way to where Sakura had left Sango to go talk to some fan. Sango turned to face her as she came. "Sango?" Kagome walked up to her as Sango became annoyed.

"Kagome? I'm not going to even ask why the h--- you're here." Sango sighed rubbing her temples. "What the h--- is going on?" She whispered. "I'd be a whole big d***ed reunion if Inuyasha was here." Sango's eyes widened when she noticed Kagome and Miroku looking at her with regret.

"Um . . ." Miroku began, "He . . ."

"Inuyasha's here?!" Sango grabbed Miroku by the shoulders and shook him vigorously. (A/N: Don't it sound like he's a drink? LOL)

Kagome and Miroku nodded slowly as Sango pushed through a crowd of girls looking for him. She looked around but there was no trace of him or Naraku.

"Wait!" Sango pushed through Kagome and Miroku towards a small room down the hall.

"Should we follow?" Kagome nodded to this as Miroku and her began to run after the American agent.

***

Inuyasha circled the scientist with a steady growl emitting from his throat. "So . . ." Inuyasha pulled Tetsusaiga from it's scabbard.

The scientist shifted his weight to his left foot and held his breath as Tetsusaiga was held to his throat. "W-what do you want?"

"Feh," Inuyasha growled. "You already know d*** it."

"No I don't!"

"You do and I'll make sure you hand it over one way or another." Inuyasha spoke calmly as he grinned. "Hand it over. One flick of my wrist and you're dead."

"I can't! Kikyo would kill me!"

"You should be worried about me right now baka." Inuyasha pushed the scientist up to the wall and grabbed the suitcase. "Thanks."

The scientist laughed heartily. "Well, well, well." He pulled out his gun. "Aren't you the busy bee?"

"Well, well, well, aren't you the gayest baka I've ever met," Inuyasha continued to grin.

The scientist smirked. "Kukuku. Inuyasha you underestimate me." The scientist quickly transformed into another. One with a baboon skin cloak.

"Who in the seven h---s?" Inuyasha clutched the briefcase tighter.

"I go by many names. You will die soon so why not tell you one of them? Onigumo." Naraku cackled.

"Only cowards hide their faces around the one they will kill," Inuyasha growled.

Sakura: Well that's it for this chapter. It's the longest one I've ever written for ff.net. If you want longer chapters like this I'm happy to do so. I type fast and so it'll be easy. Well R&R for the next chapter! Minimum R&R's: 10.

Miroku: Sakura-sama?

Sakura: Yes? ^.^

Sakura: This is just so, so sad. R&R and Ja ne!
