Hi guys! Thankyou to everyone that reviewed, guess what... DUN DUN DUN... I got 100 reviews! I'm so happy now, I never expected so many! I thought, hey, if I get 50 then my writing cant be that bad...but 100? You guys are the best! Thanks so much!

NOTE: I know I've been skipping the disclaimer for the last few chapters...but come on, I won't insult your intelligence, do you really think I own it?

Other NOTE: Right now I have MAJOR writers block. I finished this chapter, and my head was empty. I had no idea what to write. I'll try and get the next chapter out by the end of the week, but don't kill me if I don't! I can't force myself to write...

Chapter 11: TRUST AND BETRAYAL

Kagura narrowed her eyes, and for a moment, everyone froze.

The she raised her fan with her remaining hand, and waved it.

"AIII!"

"FEH!"

Blades like daggers cut through the air, from Kagura's fan. They scraped Kagome's skin, and cut into Inuyasha's haori. The pain was almost unbearable.

"So, you like my wind dance?"

Kagome looked shocked. "That pain...was caused by wind?"

"Right." Inuyasha said, flexing his claws. "A bit of wind won't scare me, witch!"

"Wind blades dance!" Kagura hissed.

Kagome saw Inuyasha stagger backwards, as the wind blades cut into him. This Kagura was strong...

Inuyasha leapt in front of her, slicing through the wind with his claws. But before her landed on the ground, Kagura waved her fan again, and shot some more stabbing wind blades in his direction. He sank to the floor, hissing in pain.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome cried. The sight of him crouched on the floor, with blood pouring from his wounds, made Kagome's heart wrench.

"Seems the poor little pup has lost his bite..." Kagura said, smiling gleefully.

In two steps, Kagome had reached Kagura. "You BITCH!" She said, grabbing Kagura's face roughly. All her training, techniques, and practising flew out her head. For Kagome, she had one aim running through her mind – to hurt Kagura as much as possible.

It was only a slight scuffle from the corner that brought Kagome back to her senses. The spider demon was twitching – it was still alive, and willing to fight.

She quickly slotted an arrow onto her bow, shot it through the head. It stopped twitching.

Kagura shrugged. "Oh well. Your half-demon's dead, isn't he? So at least its one-on-one now."

Kagome opened her mouth angrily. "Who said anything about de-"

"Dead, is he?" Inuyasha said appearing at Kagome's side. He wiped his bloodstained claws on the spider-demon. "Do I look dead to you?"

O.o

O.o

"Free chocolate for a month?"

Sango sighed. "Yes, Shippo."

"Will you take me to that new adventure park?"

"Yes, Shippo..."

"Will you take me to that new disco club next to the cinema?"

"Yes, Shippo...wait a minute, you're too young to go clubbing!" Sango said.

"But you left me on my own!" Shippo complained.

"Yes, but that's my job! And you're already getting free chocolate and a day at the adventure park-"

There was a loud knock on the front door. "We'll discuss this later..." Sango said to the irritated kitsune.

"Hi, Myoga!" Sango said, leading her elderly boss into the living room. "Is there a reason for this...? Have you heard from Kagome?"

Myoga indicated for Sango to sit down. "I was going to ask you that...I haven't heard from her."

Sango sighed. "Ahh... I guess you know what happened at the Pearl Restaurant?"

Myoga shook his head. "Your cameras were smashed as soon as the demons entered. What happened after that?"

Quickly, Sango related her chain of events. "So I was lost, with Miroku..."

Myoga lifted his grey-haired head. "I see...Miroku's a human, isn't he?"

"Oh!" Sango exclaimed. "I almost forgot. Miroku has a curse."

"A curse?" Myoga said thoughtfully. "A demon curse?"

"Yes. A wind tunnel in his hand. I was..." Sango paused, feeling hesitant. "This is just my opinion, Myoga. If Miroku was cursed by demons, why would he then breed them? Surely he would hate demons because of his curse?"

Myoga nodded his wrinkled head. "True, Sango, but he could be breeding demons to use as revenge against whatever cursed him."

"He said he wasn't!"

Myoga frowned over his glasses. "You asked Miroku? You just asked him, like that?"

"Um...yes."

Myoga sighed. "Maybe we can trust Miroku, but the half-demon..."

"Inuyasha? What about him?"

Myoga seemed to come to a decision. "I want you to break into the top floor again. But this time – at night."

"Okay." Sango nodded. "I'll do that."

"Oh, and Sango...Koga and Yura have survived. They were let out of hospital this morning."

Sango clapped a hand to her mouth. She had completely forgotten about her two fellow agents. "Oh! Um...that's great!"

"Oi, old guy," Shippo interrupted. "You're working Sango too hard! She didn't come home last night and I was-"

Sango quickly clamped a hand over Shippo's mouth. "Uh, I'll call the office if we get any info...!" She said.

Myoga looked at the squirming fox demon, raised his eyebrows, and left.

As soon as the front door shut, Sango turned to Shippo:

"THAT 'OLD GUY' WAS MY BOSS!"

O.o

O.o

Inuyasha dodged the wind again, scratching with his claws at Kagura.

'Wow, Inuyasha's amazing...' Kagome thought. "I guess he doesn't need me..."

But the floor, when it wasn't covered by lifeless spider-demons, was already stained with quite a lot of hanyou blood. A normal human would be dead by now, and even half-demons had their limits.

Kagura seemed to pause for a minute, as if realising that Kagome was still alive. She raised her fan, and sent a strong blast of wind blades in Kagome's direction.

Kagome flipped backwards. The wind blades narrowly missed her. She slid to the ground, between two of the small spiders. That was close... Kagome thought, feeling her heart thumping.

Kagura let out a strangled cry, her eyes fixed on Kagome. The wind witch dropped her fan, her eyes widening in shock. Kagome frowned, puzzled.

Kagura stepped towards her, and stretched out her remaining hand.

Kagome glanced down, very confused. Then she saw a slight sparkle on her chest. When she had flipped backwards, the Shikon Jewel had fallen on top of her dress.

"What? What's wrong, witch?" Inuyasha demanded.

Kagome stuffed the Jewel under her clothes with one hand, and fitted an arrow onto her bow with her other hand. She shot an arrow at Kagura, but she didn't have time to aim. The arrow swooped past the wind witch, landing neatly on her discarded fan.

With a loud crack, the arrow shattered Kagura's fan into tiny fragments.

As the fan exploded, Kagura sank to the floor, clutching at her chest. She started shaking strangely.

Behind her, the smaller spider demons started to stir. Kagome panicked. "What's happening?"

Inuyasha cursed under his breath. "The spiders were being controlled by the fan. Now the fan has been destroyed, they're free again..."

The spiders stretched their legs, and bared their fangs. A few crowded round Kagura, trying to bite the flesh off her arms.

"That's disgusting!" Kagome said, shrinking back.

"They're hungry." Inuyasha said flatly. "And wait 'till they see us..."

"Inuyasha, do you think we're in trouble?" Kagome whispered.

Several small spiders were sniffing the air, crawling closer and closer towards Kagome.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha hissed. "I think...we might be in trouble..."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Kagome looked at Inuyasha.

"RUN!"

O.o

O.o

Sango flopped onto her bed, annoyed. She was worried for Kagome. She was annoyed with Kagome for making her worry.

She wanted to know what Miroku was doing. She was annoyed with Miroku for not calling her and checking she was okay.

She was annoyed with herself because she knew Miroku didn't have her address or her phone number. And she was annoyed with Miroku for making her want to know what he was doing.

Her phone rang. "Yes?"

"Is that Sango?" A male voice asked. Her heartbeat quickened. Was it Miroku?

"Yes, Sango speaking..." Sango replied.

"Hi Sango, this is Kouga from FBI. Is Kagome around?"

Kouga? Sango cursed. Stupid Miroku. Of course, he wouldn't phone her...

"No Kouga, Kagome is not around. Call her phone, don't waste your time calling mine."

"I see, Sango-chan. But Kagome doesn't seem to answer her phone when I call...maybe she's too shy to talk to me? Tell her I'm always there for her, and I'm missing her a lot and she can always-"

Sango hung up. Her mood was not improving.

O.o

O.o

Kagome and Inuyasha tore down the corridor, the spider-demons footsteps echoing behind them.

"We can't out-run them, Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. "Their gonna catch us up!"

Inuyasha 'feh'ed under his breath. "Just keep going, a bit longer..."

Kagome's knees were aching, and her legs were tired. "Inuyasha, I c – can't – go on – much...much longer! – I don't – have...have – demon strength!"

Kagome took a glance over her shoulder. The spiders were coming closer and closer...she knew her strength was running out...

"Fine, Kagome..." Inuyasha growled. He grabbed her wrist and lifted her off the floor, onto his back.

Kagome clung onto Inuyasha's hair, as he kicked off from the ground. They soared into the air, and flew down the corridor. Inuyasha turned the corner, and the spider demons were falling behind.

This is just like flying... Kagome thought, smiling to herself. She buried her head in Inuyasha's hair, hiding her secret grin. The wind whipped past her face...if only moments like these could last forever...

But of course, they didn't. Inuyasha leapt down another corridor, until they reached a wooden door. It swung open silently, and at last, they were outside.

Inuyasha landed gracefully on the ground, letting Kagome slide off his back.

Kagome heard the spider's footsteps inside. She fitted two arrows onto her bow and aimed at the door. The arrows sank through the wooden door and pinned it shut.

Inuyasha laughed evilly. "Ha! Take that, you stupid fucking little bast-"

"We did it!" Kagome squealed. She threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck, and jumping up and down excitedly. She had defeated a wind witch, shot an enormous spider demon, and escaped from a bolted cell...

...And she was now jumping about, hugging her boss.

Kagome froze as she realised how quiet Inuyasha had gone.

Her mobile phone rang in her pocket. Now they were outside, it was picking up a signal.

She quickly disentangled herself from the shocked half-demon, and turned round so he wouldn't see her bright, bright red face.

"Hello? Myoga?" Kagome said.

"Kagome!" Came a male voice. "How good to finally hear your sweet voice..."

"Who is this?" Kagome demanded. Certainly, Myoga wouldn't greet her like that...

"Kouga." The voice answered. "Where are you? Are you hurt? I'll send for a helicopter-"

"That's not necessary." Kagome said firmly. "Uh, how about I call you back-"

"How about I meet you at that new club, the Club Noir-"

"Um...I'll talk to you later! Bye!" Kagome said, as she hung up.

Stupid, stupid Kouga... She grumbled, half forgetting about Inuyasha.

"Who was that?" Inuyasha demanded. "Your boyfriend?"

"Ah...demon hearing." Kagome said. "No, that guy is NOT my boyfriend, and will NEVER be my boyfriend."

"I see." Inuyasha said. There was an awkward silence. A few minutes ago, they had been fellow hostages – and for a short while, they had been friends. Now, Inuyasha was once again the owner of the Shikon company, and Kagome was just his personal assistant.

"I'll call a helicopter to get us out of here." Kagome said.

"Your boyfriend offered to just now-"

"Kouga is not my boyfriend!" Kagome yelled.

"Yeah, yeah..." Inuyasha said. "Wait a minute...was that the FBI guy, at the Pearl? He was called Kouga or something..."

Crap! "Um, yeah, it's a common name." Kagome said.

Inuyasha shrugged. "Whatever. Let's get back to New York."

He let her climb onto his back, and once again they were flying through the air. Maybe he'll be back to his annoying, professional self on Monday...but until then, it's nice to know the caring side of Inuyasha. Kagome thought.

As Inuyasha flew lower and lower, Kagome realised she wasn't being dropped off at her apartment...she was being dropped off at Yura's house.

"You live here, don't you?"

Oh, yeah. The day Inuyasha had followed her home, she'd gone to Yura's house.

"Uh, yep!" Kagome said. "How do you know?"

Inuyasha shrugged. He landed gracefully on Yura's roof, letting Kagome climb down.

"Now, listen, Kagome." He said seriously. "You mention one word about my demon blood, and you'll regret it."

"I'm not gonna tell anyone." Kagome said. "And definitely not FBI."

Sorry, Inuyasha...well, technically, they already knew...

"Promise?" Inuyasha said.

With difficulty, Kagome forced herself to look at his face. "I promise." She lied.

Inuyasha leapt off, disappearing into the sky.

Leaving Kagome on the roof, wondering why that simple lie was making her feel...disgusting.

But she'd lied so many times before. Why did that lie make her feel so bad?

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha." She whispered. "It's just my job..."

But right now, the thought of arresting Inuyasha and Miroku, was unthinkable. She felt like she was betraying someone close to her. She had finally managed to gain Inuyasha's trust, but she felt terrible.

After she wiped her tears off her cheeks, she realised she was stuck on the roof of Yura's house.

"Time to call that helicopter..."

O.o
