I'm back, sorry for the delay. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed. I love you all - alejandra, sourmilk732, Starflower-Gem, Secret-punk-rocker16, animemistress419, catalina, Red Skyies, FOX, Apri-Chan - thankyou!

kitty 2: Thanks for your review. It was very sweet. I will certainly write more stories after this one, I already have some in mind:) And I DISLIKE Kikyou too!

Nauriell: That made me laugh, thankyou:)

abnormally cool: Inuyasha wears a haori, coz he's a hanyou. Like people from different countries/religions wear different clothes, he wears hanyou clothes. But now you mention that muscle shirt....mhhhmmm....:) Oh, and I liked your idea about Kagome being Kikyo's reincarnation...but unfortunately, it wouldn't work, because Kikyo would have to die at least18 years before, to give time for Kagome to be born and grow up, to her age of 18. And then, Inuyasha would be about 40 when Kagome's 18, and it would be hard for them to have a relationship.

Sakurascent: Ha ha ha! That was funny:) Thanks, come again soon!

Chapter 14: Double Naraku.

"What? Agent Kaede will be monitoring our work today?" Sango asked.

Myoga nodded grimly. "She wants you to break into the top floor again- and she'll be assessing you. You have to impress her, or she might throw you off the case."

"The Agent Kaede? The head of FBI?" Kagome asked nervously.

"Yes. She seems to have taken special interest in this case."

It was another Monday morning, as Myoga drew his car up in front of the Shikon building. Kagome and Sango waited nervously in the back, glancing towards the top floor.

Myoga held up two earrings and two bracelets. "These," Myoga held up the bracelets, "…are hidden microphones. Kaede and I will be able to listen to you. However, if you twist the chain once, you can talk to each other privately."

"And these," He held up the earrings, "…are video cameras. Kagome, Sango, do you realise how important today is?"

Kagome and Sango nodded. "We'll be fine." Sango said.

"Fine? Yeah…" Kagome thought. Going up to the top floor again, with Agent Kaede watching us?

"One last thing." Myoga said, drawing out two pieces of cloth. "These are filter masks, used by demon exterminators. If you come across any demons, these will block out demon energy." Myoga paused. "And please, I know you'll impress her…"

"Of course." Kagome said.

"And you are my best agents…"

"Of course." Sango smirked.

"But if you do mess this up, it won't only be your job on the line!"

"Agent Kaede, this is Kagome speaking." Kagome spoke into her bracelet. "Part one of the plan is completed. We will know proceed to the top floor."

Kagome sighed, and twisted the bracelet. "Sango, Inuyasha is distracted. I've sent him to a 'meeting' in New York. What about Miroku?"

"Yep, he's off to a 'meeting' as well." Sango replied. "Okay, let's show this Kaede how good we are!"

Kagome laughed, and twisted her bracelet back. She switched on Inuyasha's computer and double-clicked on the "Security" icon.

"Agent Kagome?" Kaede's voice emanated from the bracelet. "Have ye disabled the security, child?"

"Just doing it now," Kagome replied, twisting the bracelet. "Sango, the camera's are off. We have an hour."

She took a fake ID card out of her pocket and walked innocently out the office.

"This corridor is so creepy…" Kagome whispered, as they stepped out onto the top floor.

Sango nodded. "Okay, we have to be careful. We need some real evidence, to impress that Kaede."

They walked along the corridor towards a large door. "The password's "tetsusaiga"." Kagome said. "I remember that much."

Sango typed in the password, and the door creaked open slightly. Kagome sniffed the air suspiciously. Their footsteps echoed on the cold floor, as they walked into the large room. Kagome pointed towards a black door in front of them.

"The bathtub is through there." She frowned. "This place has changed from last time. Something's been happening…"

"Do you sense any demons?" Sango asked.

"No, not yet…"

"Let's try another door – that office, there." Sango said. "Kaede, Myoga, are you watching?"

There was a murmured response through their bracelets. Sango turned to a rounded office door and picked the lock. Within seconds, the door clicked, and with a sharp kick from Sango, it swung open.

A gust of demon energy blasted out the door, sending Kagome and Sango reeling backwards. "San-go!" Kagome choked out. "The demonic power's too strong…I'm gonna faint…"

Even with her training, the demon energy was having an effect on Kagome. If she didn't act fast, she was going to loose consciousness.

"Ka-go-me! The fil…filter masks!" Sango coughed. Kagome nodded and pulled her mask out her pocket. As soon as she tied it round her face, the demon energy was blocked out, and she could breath normally.

Kagome got to her feet shakily. "These things are amazing."

"Thank god for Myoga." Sango said, shaking her head. They both turned towards the room.

There were hundreds and hundreds of boxes on the floor. In the corner, there was a messy desk, with several stacks of paper. Another wave of demon energy hit Kagome, making her press the filter mask closer to her mouth. "Sango, there's loads of demons in here…"

Sango nodded and looked inside one of the boxes. "Check the desk, Kagome." She whispered, as she cut open the box with her knife.

Kagome sifted through the papers, but there seemed nothing of importance. There were a few strange drawings, a lot of money, and some odd legal documents. She was about to toss them to one side, when she noticed the name at the top of the paper:

Onigumo Ukaran.

Three gunshots echoed through the air, clattering onto the ground next to Inuyasha. "Feh, who are you?" Inuyasha yelled.

"My name is Onigumo, and I suppose you must be Inuyasha. Now give me the Shikon Jewel."

Kagome skimmed through the other papers, but they all had the same name on them.

When the smoke cleared, Kikyou was nowhere to be seen. The FBI agents were wounded from the bomb. Sesshoumaru was leaning on his knees, his face emotionless. Onigumo had vanished.

"Myoga, are you seeing this?" She hissed. "Onigumo Ukaran…do a search on him!"

"Okay, Kagome." Myoga answered.

Kagome took one of the papers, and shoved the rest back into their proper positions. "Sango, have you got that box open yet?"

"No, dammit, it's got some kind of seal on it…hey Kagome, do you have the Shikon Jewel on you?"

"Yes!" Kagome said, slipping the Jewel off her neck. "Here."

Sango touched the Jewel against the box, and it clicked open. Both girls opened the box nervously.

There was what looked like a pile of flesh, with two tentacles sprouting from one end. "Ah, a baby demon…" Kaede whispered through their bracelets. "This is quite some evidence, girls. Well done."

Kagome shook her head. "This room belongs to an 'Onigumo Ukaran', not Inuyasha. It doesn't prove anything."

Sango covered her bracelet. "Why just Inuyasha? Don't you mean 'Onigumo Ukaran', not Inuyasha or MIROKU?" Sango asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Oh, sorry, I meant Miroku as well." Kagome said, blushing.

Kaede's voice interrupted them. "Agent Kagome, Inuyasha and Miroku could be giving orders to this "Onigumo". The evidence is quite concluding." Kaede argued.

"No, I agree with Kagome." Sango said. "Miroku might have no knowledge of these demons."

Now Kagome covered her bracelet. "Don't you mean 'Miroku AND INUYASHA might have no knowledge?'"

Sango glared. "Of course, I meant Inuyasha as well."

Kaede coughed. "Are you still there, girls? I request you to go back to that room with the bathtub."

"Of course, Kaede." Kagome and Sango said. Kagome slipped the Shikon Jewel around her neck, while Sango re-locked the door.

"Kag, how are we gonna get into this room?" Sango whispered.

"Well, I used the Shikon Jewel last time, remember?" Kagome said. She held Sango's arm with one hand, and the Shikon Jewel with the other, and tapped the Jewel against the black door.

Nothing happened.

Sango sighed. "Try again."

Still, nothing happened.

"Kagome." Kaede said through the microphone. "Try entering by ye-self. It seems the Jewel is refusing Agent Sango."

"Okay, Kaede." Kagome let go of Sango, and tapped the Jewel against the door. Instantly, her feet rose off the ground, and when she re-landed, she was inside the room – in front of the bathtub.

"Sango!" Kagome called. No answer.

Kagome twisted her bracelet. "Sango!" She whispered into the microhone.

"Yeah, I'm still here, Kagome." Sango replied. "Did you get through?"

Kagome nodded, then remembered Sango couldn't see her. "Yeah, I got through."

Kaede's voice crackled into her microphone. "Kagome, child, can you step closer to the bath? I'd like to see it through ye camera."

Kagome leaned over the edge of the bath. "Here it is. It's so weird, Kaede."

"Yes, that's right, child…" Kaede said. "But, I'm sure I've seen this before…this is very strange, very strange…"

"Agent Kaede." Kagome hesitated. "Has Myoga told you about my dreams?"

"Involving a black-haired child in a bath? Yes, that he has."

"Do you think…" She paused. "Do you think it could be true?"

"Of course, Kagome, I have never doubted the power of ye Shikon Jewel."

Kagome sighed. "I wish I could be as optimistic…" She said. "What is this bath, Kaede?"

There was a sigh. "This bath is reminding me of something…" Kaede said. "But I just can't remember…"

"Kagome! Sango!" Myoga said. "I've done a search on Onigumo Ukaran."

"And?"

"It seems… he's dead."

"Dead? But…"

"He died five years ago, in a fight over a piece of jewellery. A half-demon, a demon, a human, and an FBI agent were also at the scene. His body was never found."

"A piece of jewellery? Do they mean the Shikon Jewel?" Kagome asked.

Myoga nodded. "Most probably, Kagome."

"Dammit. So Inuyasha was right. He is dead…"

"Kagome!" Sango called through the bracelet. "Kagome, I think someone's coming up. Quickly, get out of that room. We don't want a repeat of last time!"

Kagome took one last look at the bath, and tapped the Shikon Jewel against the door. She landed neatly next to Sango.

"Who is it? It can't be Inuyasha and Miroku…" Kagome said hurriedly.

Footsteps echoed down the corridor, approaching them. Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her towards Onigumo Ukaran's office.

Step, step…

She slid her knife into the lock and twisted it, breaking the keyhole.

Tap, tap… Someone punched the password into the door outside.

"Masks on." Sango ordered. Kagome nodded. They burst into the office and closed the door just as the footsteps continued.

"Who is it?" Kaede hissed from the bracelet.

On the other side of the door, footsteps were echoing louder and louder. Sango tugged at Kagome's hand, and they crept underneath the desk.

"Sango, Kagome!" Myoga whispered. "If you twist your earrings once, it will create a shield around you. It will absorb your scent."

Sango and Kagome nodded, and twisted their earrings. A silvery haze shimmered around them, then melted into the air.

Suddenly, the door handle rattled, and the office door started to open. Both girls froze, and hardly dared to breath. At first, Kagome squeezed her eyes shut, but finally her curiosity got the better of her. She slowly tilted her head up, and looked at the intruder.

It was Naraku.

Naraku – but he was wearing a strange baboon pelt. He hurried over to the desk and started sifting through some papers, but he ignored the two girls underneath. For the second time that day, Kagome mentally praised Myoga's weird gadgets.

Sango sucked in her breath, as she recognised the baboon man…

Beside the invisible spider demon, was a man. He had disguised himself by wearing a strange baboon pelt. The invisible spider demon looked at him, waiting for orders.

The baboon man nodded. "I shall get rid of these nuisances. When the half-demon and the girl appear, you deal with them." The man hissed.

Miroku tugged at Sango's sleeve. "RUN!"

The baboon man was Naraku. Naraku was now looking through "Onigumo Ukaran's" desk. Sango shook her head. Man, this was confusing…

Kagome and Sango jumped as the door opened again, and someone else stepped into the room. Their footsteps were lighter and quicker. A woman.

"Naraku." The woman said. "You sent for me?"

"Yes, Kagura. Do come in."

Under the desk, Kagome almost fell over. Kagura. Kagura was here!

Sango shot her a warning glance.

"Naraku, what are these?" Kagura said, indicating to the boxes.

"Young lives." Naraku replied.

"But…they're disgusting!"

Naraku cackled. "But don't forget, Kagura…you were once one of them."

Kagome and Sango looked at each other.

"What are your orders, Naraku?" Kagura said.

There was a silence. "Why did you fail your last mission?"

Kagura's feet shifted. "Well…you see…"

"Why are Inuyasha and that stupid girl still alive?"

"Well, they were stronger than expected…"

"Kagura, I am disappointed. I thought you were a true demon."

"I am a true demon!"

"Yet you fail to take down a human girl and a half-human boy?"

"I'm more of a demon than you!" Kagura protested. "At least I'm a full-demon!"

There was an awkward silence. Kagome could almost hear Kagura sweating.

"Remember, Kagura." Naraku said dangerously. "Any human blood I have, you would have inherited. You were born of me. Any hanyou blood I have…has also been passed to you."

Kagome nearly gasped, but Sango clamped a hand over her mouth. Hanyou blood?

Naraku laughed. "Do not panic, Kagura. As it stands, Miroku and that other girl still live, too."

"Er, you couldn't kill them?"

Kagome and Sango winced. Bad move, Kagura.

"Silence!" Naraku thundered. "I need the Shikon Jewel faster, Kagura. Faster. Now leave my office!"

"Yes, Naraku." Kagura said. There were footsteps towards the door, and then the door slammed shut.

"Stupid girl." Naraku muttered, before walking towards the door and slamming it shut.

Kagome and Sango looked at each other, mouths hanging open.

"Naraku's a half-demon!" Kagome whispered.

"Naraku wants the Shikon Jewel. Like Onigumo. And Inuyasha." Sango said.

"Now leave my office…" Kagome repeated. "I thought this room belonged to Onigumo?"

"But he's dead." Sango said. "Maybe it's Naraku's room now?"

"Yeah, put both the Shikon-obsessed men in the same office." Kagome laughed quietly - then suddenly froze.

"What?" Sango asked.

Kagome squealed, and turned to Sango. "Onigumo and Naraku…are really quite similar, aren't they?"

"Mhmm-hmm."

"They share an office. They both want the Jewel. They're both prepared to kill for the Jewel. And suddenly, five years ago, Onigumo 'dies', but his body is never discovered. And soon Naraku appears."

"What, you think…?"

Kagome ignored her, grinning. "And what is Naraku's name backwards?" She said excitedly.

"Um, U-k-a-r-a-n. Ukaran." Sango said, her eyes widening. "Like Onigumo Ukaran. Does this mean…?"

"Onigumo and Naraku are the same person." Kagome said slowly.

Kaede's voice crackled through their bracelets. "Girls, come into HQ. Now."

"Well, it certainly fits." Myoga said wearily. "Naraku is the 'dead' Onigumo Ukaran. But why would Onigumo want to change his name?"

"So Inuyasha and Miroku wouldn't recognise him!" Sango said. "So he could appear as 'Naraku', a completely different person."

Kaede burst through the door. "I've just had Naraku's blood tested. He is a hanyou." She handed several charts to Myoga, before slamming the door again.

Myoga nodded to Kagome and Sango. "What is Naraku's aim? What does he want?"

"The Shikon Jewel." Kagome said, fingering the pink ball around her neck. "But for what purpose, I don't know…"

"Can it be power?" Sango suggested. "But he's already powerful…Myoga, you saw those boxes of demons. They were all born from Naraku. Kagura was born from Naraku."

Myoga sighed. "Sango, listen. You are supposed to be investigating Inuyasha and Miroku, not Naraku."

"Naraku practically killed us, with Kagura and his other demons!"

"Sango!" Myoga said warningly.

"But-"

Kaede stuck her head round the door. "Myoga, you have a call on Line 1. It's very urgent."

"Urgent?" Myoga hurried out the office, with Kaede in tow. Sango got up wearily and shut the door.

"Kagome." She said. "Do you think Inuyasha and Miroku are innocent?"

Kagome hesitated. "I do. I think he's tricking Miroku and Inuyasha…"

Sango nodded. "I don't want…I mean, Miroku-"

The door burst open again, making Kagome and Sango jump.

"Kagome!" Myoga shouted. "An anonymous caller has just phoned up. Apparently they have urgent information about Inuyasha, Miroku…and Kikyou."

"Okay."

"They specifically asked to meet you, Kagome, alone. At the park, now. They are wearing a shawl of fur."

"Gotcha."

"Be careful, Kagome. We weren't able to trace the call. This may be a trap."

"I'll be careful."

"Sango, I want you to drive outside and wait. Kagome, take your microphone. If we loose contact, I'll worry."

"Don't panic, Myoga. I'm going now."

Kagome ran out the FBI headquarters, into the cold outside air. It was already dark. She sprinted down the deserted streets. Judging by the number of people outside, it was fairly late in the evening. No one would be around now.

Well, except one woman. Kagome crashed into her as she rounded a corner, sending them both sprawling backwards.

"I'm so sorry!" Kagome said, scrambling to her feet. "Are you hurt?"

The woman stiffly got to her feet. "I'm fine, thankyou. Please watch where you're going." She said coldly.

"Oh, I am sorry…" Kagome said.

"Yes, you've said that."

The woman was slightly older than Kagome. She had similar long black hair, but unlike Kagome, her face was emotionless and cold.

This woman reminds me of someone…Kagome thought, frowning. She checked her microphone.

"Kagome, hurry up." Myoga whispered into her ear.

"Look, I have to go!" Kagome said. "Sorry again!"

The woman nodded without a smile.

"Damn, I've seen her before, haven't I?" Kagome said to herself. "Who is she?"

She raced to the park and climbed lithely over the fence, landing cat-like on the ground. Kagome paused to catch her breath, and spotted a solitary figure on one of the benches. There was a pile of fur slung over his shoulder. Kagome sensed a wave of demonic energy.

She walked up to the figure, trying to calm her breathing.

"Kagome Higurashi." The figure said. "I'm glad you've come. Please sit down."

From his voice, Kagome could tell it was a man, but the darkness was still shadowing his face. Kagome sat down hesitantly. "You say you have information."

"I do." The figure replied.

"Can I ask your name?"

"I think you already know it."

"Oh…?"

The figure turned his face towards her, letting the moonlight flood onto his face. Kagome gasped.

"Hey, you're Inuyasha's brother…Sesshoumaru."

Okay, what do you think?

Inuyasha wasn't in this chapter...:( I promise he'll be in the next one!

Good? Bad? Confusing? Interesting?

Reviewing only takes a few seconds…
