Playing Hard to Get
By aznguard1anang3l
A/N: Running from big angry crowd Sorry everyone it took so long!!! I got major issues with my computer plus not enough people were giving me reviews. stops being chased… for now… phew! I only got 16 for three chapters… maybe I'm not as good as I hoped I could be. Anyways I just turned 16 on the 1st. I'm happy but I still can't drive… haha
Let's begin shall we? Miroku and Sango had been working together for two years now. Miroku still has his "uncontrollable habit" ahem groping ahem and Sango still has her amazing fighting skills from the Inu-Yasha anime… a little more though. Kagome can use arrows but I've changed her a bit. (Please don't get mad!) She could use modern technological weapons and her fighting skills. I also created Inuyasha that way. (I'm sorry it's not the same as the anime but I wanted to change it a bit.) Shippo won't be appearing and same as Kirara. (OK… I changed it A LOT.) These are my plans for now, but if you reviewers could tell me your opinions, I might take them into consideration. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I may have hidden Inuyasha and the cast in a dungeon on a remote island, but that does NOT mean I own them! They belong to the goddess Rumiko Takahasi.
NOW let's begin.
Chapter
4: Enter Inuyasha (finally!)
Walking through the hallways, Kagome set out on the way to Rin's office. Miroku and Sango were already there, leaving Kagome to do their favors. They asked her to bring up snacks for them as well as for the new agent. (Childish, I know, but I love having snacks!)
Holding a tray full of sandwiches and icees, she carefully walked into the peach-colored room. Rin was at her desk waiting patiently. Sango and Miroku were sitting in chairs with tables next to them. Two chairs stayed empty: one for her, one for the new guest.
"Sheesh! Took you long enough Kagome! We waited a whole hour for you!" Sango smiled playfully at her best friend.
"An hour? It only took me ten minutes to get these!" Kagome held out the tray to each person. "And another 5 to come up here."
"Sorry Kagome, but you know my rules. The last one to get to a meeting has to take everyone's orders!" Rin, too, smiled mischievously.
"That's a bunch of crap and you know it Rin." Kagome laughed and handed her boss a sub and chocolate milkshake.
"Alright, alright. I just love picking on you. Happy you know the truth?" Rin covered her mouth to hold in her laughter but the gleam in her eyes betrayed her.
"Well now that I know it doesn't make a difference huh?" Kagome moved to her seat next to Sango.
She was about to take a huge bite out of her sandwich when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in Kira," Rin called to her secretary.
Kira stepped in holding a clipboard against her chest. "Mrs. Tetsugi-"
"I told you so many times, please call me Rin. 'Mrs.' makes me sound so old. Please continue."
"Yes Mrs… I mean Rin. You have two people waiting for you outside," the secretary smiled a bit and blushed.
"I knew you'd find him appealing, Kira. My brother-in-law attracts many girls these days," Rin said with a small chuckle. "Tell them to come in."
Kira left the room after she gave a slight bow. Sango turned her head just a little and saw that Miroku had a lecherous grin on his lips.
"Don't even think about it," she said, knowing very well that her partner was going to hit on another worker.
Kagome was confused. Brother-in-law? Isn't the agent supposed to be female? Maybe he's here to visit…
Rin on the otherhand was a bit confused too, even if she didn't show it. Who was the other person?
Her question was answered when the man stepped inside closing the door behind him. Rin gasped but managed to cover her mouth. Miroku sweat dropped, knowing exactly who he was, while Sango just looked at the man with confused eyes.
Kagome observed the man approaching Rin's desk. Handsome… but not exactly relaxed is he? She saw that the man has long silver hair and purple marks on his face. Silver hair...? Could this be the same guy from that club? There's no way… the eyes don't seem familiar, just the color.
"Sessy!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rin jumped from her desk onto her husband and spoke in perfect English, making two of the agents confused. "Why are you here? I thought you had to settle some 'important' matters back home."
Sesshomaru answered in the same way, embracing his wife's small form. "I just wanted to take time off to see you as well as transport my brother from home."
By home, Kagome knew he meant Los Angeles, California. Rin and Sesshomaru were both born in Japan and knew each other since high school. During his college years, Sesshomaru studied abroad in America. He proposed to Rin a month after his senior year, realizing his world was pointless without her.
His intelligence greatly impressed the American government and so they slowly promoted him from being a novice agent to head chief. His work took him back and forth between the country where he worked and the country where his home was.
But that never stopped him or Rin from loving each other and finding any way possible to be together.
Of course, one of those excuses involved Rin calling him "Sessy." He'd kill anyone who called him that, but for his beloved wife, he'd make an exception.
Then Kagome's mind snapped back to an important topic: Who is the new agent?
As if reading Kagome's mind, Rin woke up from paradise and looked into Sesshomaru's eyes.
"Then where's Inuyasha? If you're bringing him here from America, then where the hell is he? I mean, come on! I kept my agents waiting forever!" Rin joked as her husband's face gave a little grin. He always loved the fact that she was impatient.
"Forever? It was only a day. But since neither you nor your agents could wait…" He walked to the door and opened it.
Another man with long silver hair stepped in. Kagome looked at this man and her eyebrow rose a bit.
About three inches taller than her, the man looked around the room and recognized an old friend.
"What's up Miroku? Haven't seen you in a while."
"Could say the same for you Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha? You mean this is Sesshomaru's brother?" Kagome asked Rin. Rin nodded her head with a smile.
Kagome continued. "So… what does he have to do with us? Other than him being your brother's husband?"
"Kagome, I have tried to tell you many times. But you kept interrupting. I was going to tell you that he is your new partner." Miroku ducked his head for an eruption, as did Sango, except she hid behind her chair. Rin hid behind her husband. Sesshomaru simply blocked his ears.
"WHAT!?!?!?!?! YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WORK WITH A GUY?!?!?! I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE WOULD BE A SHE!!!! I HAVE TO GO AROUND WITH A DOG TO FOLLOW?!?!"
Inuyasha's ears folded down on top of his head. Kagome just only noticed that and she had just a bit of self control left to stop herself from saying something about them.
"Shut up wench! I'm right here!" Inuyasha rubbed his sensitive ears.
Kagome frowned. She knew Sesshomaru had a 19-year-old brother. She knew they were both demons, Inuyasha partly. She heard his other half was human.
Whether she knew that or not, it was pretty easy to tell. No normal human would have dog ears on top of their heads.
Inuyasha didn't mind when anyone called him a dog because, really, he IS a dog.
But when that Kagome girl said it, he turned pretty hard. Ever since that night he danced with her, his whole body ached for hers. He wanted to find the mysterious girl who captured his attention and no doubt she was Kagome. He could still remember her scent… lavender with a hint of jasmine. His nose was dancing as he inhaled more of her scent in that office.
Snapping out of thoughts, Inuyasha also protested.
"So I gotta work with this big mouth? Then this gotta be one hell of a mission." Inuyasha smirked when he saw Kagome clench her fist. This is gonna be worth it.
"Kagome, Inuyasha, this case requires both of your skills. Naraku's capture is vital to all of us. I'm apologizing first for any problems you might have and I'll help as best as I could. Any questions so far?" Rin looked around and saw Kagome raise her hand.
Knowing exactly what she was going to ask, Rin answered. "You're going to work with Inuyasha until the case is solved and yes, you have to work with him."
With a pout, Kagome lowered her arm. One glance sideways and she could see the half demon smirk. He backed off however when she gave him one of her death glares.
Inuyasha smiled to himself. This is gonna be one hell of a case.
