Chapter two: Amiss

::A year later, Sesshoumaru's manor::

"Hello, everyone! I'm back!" I announced as I entered the room where everyone was at. A stretch of silence formed before I was thrown to the ground with hugs.

"Kagome, you are finally back." Sango exclaimed.

"Welcome back, lady Kagome." Miroku greeted me, not doing something perverted this time.

"Feh, took you long enough." Inuyasha said, helping me to stand with Shippo latched to my neck.

"Kikyo, may you please." I turned to Kikyo and asked.

"No problem." Kikyo answered back. Seeing the look on both of our faces, Inuyasha started to back away.

"Wait-"

"Inuyasha, oswuari." Kikyo said and he was dragged to the ground.

"How I miss that sound." I giggled and hugged Kikyo.

"Where had you been? We missed you terribly." Kikyo asked.

"Don't remind me. I took a job from dad a year ago, and it took me ages to track that idiot down and maim him."

"Wow, that must be some guy to escape you." Miroku said.

"Ya well, he's a shadow youkai." I replied, while hugging Shippo.

"Hey, where's Sesshy?"

"Where else." I looked at Inuyasha when he replied me.

"He's at the study room, Kagome."

"Oh. Thanks, Kikyo. See you guys tomorrow! I have to report to daddy." I waved and snapped my fingers to open a portal to daddy's house.

::Reikai, Koenma's Office::

"Botan! Call in the spirit detectives now!"

"Yes, sir!" Botan took off on her oar and headed to Ningenkai.

Minutes after locating the spirit detectives, Botan had to drag a reluctant Yusuke to Koenma's office with the help of Kuwabara.

"What cha want, you stupid overgrown toddler?!" He rudely called.

"Stop calling me that! I have a mission, if you fail, the three realms will be in danger!"

"That's what you always say!"

"But it's always true!"

"Ya like hell it is!"

"Enough! This is really important!"

"Like I ever believe you!"

"It really, really is important."

"If it's so important! Than why are you wasting time not telling us what it is!" Yusuke retorted, smirking when he made Koenma speechless.

"You- You-"

"Koenma, what really is the mission?" Kurama asked with a sweat drop when Yusuke started to laugh insanely.

"My spy died." Everyone stared at him.

"He was caught and killed." He continued not noticing the stares directed at him.

"So?" Yusuke asked.

"You don't understand the seriousness! He's a shadow youkai." Koenma shrieked and jumped onto his desk.

"You are right." Yusuke replied, with arms crossed.

"I am?"

"Yup. You are right...I don't understand a hell of why your spy is so important to the three realms when he got caught during spying and got himself killed!" Yusuke hollered.

"Koenma, are you saying that the seriousness of this matter is about the one who killed him?" Kurama asked.

"YES! When a shadow youkai hides in the shadow, no one will ever notice his presence. They have great uses in spying and assassination." Koenma exclaimed.

"The threat to the world is the one who could sense him and even to the extend of killing him." His pacifier long forgotten as it dropped to the ground with his shouting.

"All right! All right. You don't have to shout... baka toddler."

"Hey!"

-----

::Kagome's father. Higurashi's Manor::

"Here we are."

'Finally.'

"Are you saying you missed this place very much?"

'Don't you?'

"I guess. Wonder how daddy is now."

'I bet he is still the same. In his study room, behind his table, sitting in a big comfy chair.'

"Ha. Sesshy and daddy are really alike."

'How true. Hey, it's Naraku.'

"You're right." I replied, and ran up to Naraku who had just came up from daddy's study room.

"Nar kun!" I cried out and launched myself at him, arms around his neck as I gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Ogenki desu ka?" I asked him, cocking my head to a side and checked him for any difference after all I hadn't seen him for a year.

"Okage sama de genki desu- I'm fine, thank you. How about you?" He asked, giving me a rare smile.

"I'm fine, and Kimiko says she's fine too."

"What cha seeing daddy for?"

"He needed me to check something. And good work on the last job."

'Hey! I was the one doing most of the work.'

"I think you should thank Kimiko. She's the one doing most of the work." I answered.

"But two of you make the best team, isn't it?"

'Now that sounds better.'

"Yup, Kimiko likes how you put it too. Well, gotta go see daddy now. I'll see ya later." I leaned up and kissed him on the cheek before knocking on the door and enterd the room.

"Ja ne, Nar kun."

-----

"Daddy, are you here?" I asked softly as I entered his gigantic study room.

"Over here." I heard him said, the voice came behind a pile of paper.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm alright. Other than the fact that your mother dumped her share of the papers onto my table just now, that might I add is ahem, worth three months of work!" Daddy whined, and looked at me with big, watery eyes. It sparkled as light shone on it.

I sighed.

"You need my help? I just finished taking care of that spy."

"And you took long enough. Slacking in your work now arh."

-Daddy will always be daddy. Changing from one expression to the next like flipping the pages of the book.-

'He's your dad.'

-Ya...no need to remind me of that, hn.-

"He is a shadow youkai. And he was so close lipped." I answered, taking a seat before him and pouted.

"So did you extract any information out of him?" He asked as he started to organise his papers.

"Here, you put the wrong one. And ya, I extracted a reasonable amount of information from him." Passing him a paper he had placed wrongly.

"Thanks. So what have you found out?" He enquired.

"Would you like Kimiko to tell you about it?" I asked. He nodded.

I closed my eyes for a moment, opening to see Kimiko sitting on the chair facing daddy.

She smirked before replying.

"That guy you had us to go after is a shadow youkai working for Reikai, under Prince Koenma." Picking up a random piece of paper to read as she spoke.

"It began a year ago when we returned from the feudal era. Koenma sent him to check up on the time portal at the higurashi shrine. I give him credit for being able to latch onto us when we opened a second time portal."

"Did he report anything to Koenma then?"

"How can he when he is running and trying to hide from us? Believe me, I made him pay for making me chase after him for so long." Kimiko smirked at the last part.

-Ya, and you have to be so bloody about it.- I said to her in her mind.

'Hn, I didn't see you stopping me.' She replied in mind.

-You were so persuasive.-

'Why thank you for that lovely compliment.'

-Don't be so thick- skinned.-

'Never you mind.' An image of her sticking her tongue out appeared.

"Oh Kagome, here's a file for you." Daddy said and passed me a file.

"But I just got back." I whined a bit.

"This is a follow up to that reikai member. This time I only want you to handle, Kimiko may not help you. Is that understood?" He asked quite seriously. I nodded and was dismissed.

::Kagome's room in her own manor::

Kagome is now at her very own manor, in her own bedroom. A very large room with a high ceiling. A large king-sized bed in black, with a few red coloured hugging cushions. Black, red and white soft material curtains around. Just like a princess bed.

At a side of the room is where the computers are. The table is semi circular, allowing the Kagome to sit in the inner circle with nine slim, flat screened monitors around her. (Like the one in the movie, So close) Loaded with the latest software that she needs, and her self invented program or rather a kind of Virus.

And the place where the windows, the manor's windows were all made to disallow anyone outside to look inside. The floor before the window ledge was raised, not as high as the window ledge but enough for someone to plop their elbows on the window ledge as they sit or lay on the raised floor. A two steps stair for easy reach. A few layers of silk laid on top of it to make the floor comfy, big cushions for the back. Enabling Kagome to read or even fall asleep there.

There at the side besides her built in cupboard, Two pieces of curtain covered the doorway where mirrors lined at the two opposite walls, beyond there is a door. A glass door, pushing it open to reveal a bathroom.

Kagome is now currently in the bath tub giving herself a bubble bath, relaxing and reading the file given to her. At the same time communicating with Kimiko.

-Why won't daddy let you help me?-

'That's something wrong about how this file is written...'

-Is there? I didn't notice anything wrong.-

'Read it again.'
