Agent of Silence
"Dammit it Inuyasha! Look what you did! Kagome!" Kouga rounded on him with a withering glare.
"Oh, get over yourself! Even I can see she can't stand it when you're near her! I saved her," Inuyasha said snootily.
"Dude, I think you pissed her off," Miroku said, holding out a hand to help Inuyasha up off the floor. He brushed him off, standing up on his own and dusting himself off.
"Well gee, don't ya think? As if I couldn't feel it!" Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"Inuyasha! I swear to god! You are such a jerk sometimes!" Sango started forward to poke him in the chest. She had been watching them together all day. "Kagome isn't going to take any of the junk you throw in her face so I suggest you just give it a rest! She didn't do anything to you!" Sango glared at him angrily through eyes hidden through bangs.
Inuyasha sighed. Nothing had changed, Sango still had her temper and Miroku still held that calm, pacifying look. Kouga and him still hated each other. It was like he hadn't ever been gone!
. . . but he had.
"INUYASHA!" Kouga yelled when he noticed he had stopped paying attention, "When the hell were you going to tell me that you decided to come back!" Kouga punched him in the stomach smoothly.
And then there was always Kouga again, always missing the point.
"Oh man!" Inuyasha cursed himself silently. That girl had ruined his chance of a big entrance! He was going to surprise everyone! 'ARGH! It's all her fault!' Inuyasha didn't even notice the second time Kouga punched him.
"Hey! Pay attention when I'm talkin' to you!" Kouga swore lightly and aimed a kick at his chest.
Inuyasha blinked then caught his foot calmly. "Still weak are we? And here I gave you two years to catch up. Ha, as if you ever could!" Inuyasha stated smugly, tugging on Kouga's foot before he twisted to get if back.
"I wasn't even trying!" Kouga said, turning his head away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha smirked.
Miroku jumped in the middle before Inuyasha had time to make a come back. "Inuyasha," Miroku stated firmly, " Your job was to get to know her at lunch! I suggest you go find her."
Inuyasha turned his smirk to Miroku and laughed out loud. "You can't be serious!"
"Oh, but I am." Miroku stated yet again.
Inuyasha sighed at his peaceful look. Anyone who knew Miroku well could tell that was his 'let's get down to business' look. He wasn't going to get out of this one.
"Feh. Fine." Inuyasha shrugged in a flippant manner and turned to exit the way she had.

"Kagome?" Kohaku turned the corner right in time to come face to face with a very . . . angry looking Kagome.
Her eyes were a deep gray . . . almost like they were transparent. He knew what happened when they turned that color. His assumption was proved correct as her eyes started to fill with liquid. Kohaku shook his head and ran forward to grab her hand.
Though he was 15 and she was 17, he was taller than her by at least 3 inches. He pulled her hand to his chest, dragging her closer until he had enveloped her in his arms. "Hey, shhh. It's okay." Kohaku rubbed his hand in small circles over her back. He could feel Kagome nuzzle closer into his chest and he tightened his arms.
Kagome's hands clenched his jacket tightly, turning her knuckles white. 'God, he's such a jerk!'
Everyone knew that was Kagome's dream, to be the best. In her standards she had already won, but hearing him say that and having Miroku and Sango . . . even Kouga back him up. She had seen the malice in Kouga's eyes. The proof.
She shook her head slightly. This was stupid. She wouldn't cry over this! He would have to prove himself to her if he was going to keep that title!
She pulled away from Kohaku slightly and gave him a watery smile.
"Thanks," Kagome said brightly. Her eyes lit up a little and Kohaku knew that it was okay to let go. He kissed the top of her head in a brotherly fashion.
Kagome almost choked out another sob. Soon her brother would be able to do that, he was getting taller. And she hardly ever saw him. She shook her head mentally to clear those thoughts. That wasn't a current problem. Inuyasha was.
And speak of the devil.
Inuyasha came sauntering around a corner with his hands in his pockets. He turned his head like he was seeking something, and when his eyes found hers he headed their way.
Kohaku noticed Inuyasha coming towards them, and took in his abnormally silver hair. He turned to face Kagome and saw her jaw clench. Did he have anything to do with making her cry? He was immediately on the defensive.
Inuyasha sized up the kid at Kagome's side and watched the possessive distance he kept her in. 'Well, what have we here?' He smirked mentally.
Kagome hastily wiped away the tear streaks on her cheeks and centered herself for a battle.
Inuyasha watched casually as he walked closer. He didn't miss the stains that only tears could leave. His curiosity peaked.
Kohaku watched Kagome square her shoulders and lift her chin and he unconsciously readied himself.
"Hungry?"
Inuyasha mentally smacked himself the second the words were out of his mouth. He couldn't even form a full sentence! And what kind of a question was that?
Kagome almost stepped back in shock. 'What?'
"If I wanted to eat I would, you wouldn't stop me!" Kagome haughtily directed that remark at him.
"So are you hungry?" Inuyasha stated again. He might as well continue.
"No," Kagome stated. She had lost her appetite.
Inuyasha nodded his head nonchalantly. "Well, I'm supposed to get to know you . . . at lunch. But out here's fine with me."
"I don't want to get to know you! You arrogant jerk! Don't you get it? Just stay out of my way and this mission will be over with faster!" Kagome almost screamed but held her voice calm.
"Don't you get it?!" Inuyasha's hands slammed down around her, caging her into the wall that she hadn't noticed was behind her. Kohaku took an involuntary step back, caught up in watching.
"We're not going to get anywhere if we don't work as a team! Keade is right! We have to know exactly what the other knows, and think the way the other thinks in order to get this done! This is my mission! My revenge! But I can't do this alone!" Inuyasha hissed at her.
He dropped his voice lower as he saw her swallow. "This isn't what you think it is Kagome. You've never done anything like this. This is the ultimate enemy and he takes down everyone, one by one. I'll not be taken. We'll be two."
Inuyasha was thrown against the wall beside Kagome roughly. Kohaku had come to his senses.
"I don't know who you are, but you better back off," Kohaku said in the same low voice Inuyasha had just been using.
"I don't play games little boy. Stay out of my way, this is none of your business." Inuyasha matched his pitch perfectly. Kohaku stepped back a little when his lip lifted to uncover a fang.
Kohaku's eyes widened a little and he was about to say something when Kagome stepped between them.
"Is there always a mediator with you around? Back off Inuyasha." Kagome turned to glare at him. "Kohaku, go find Sango and tell her we'll be there in a little while. Thank you for earlier," Kagome said softly. "No problem Kag," He stated and moved past them, shooting one more bewildered look to Inuyasha. Kagome could handle herself.

"Sango! SIS!" Kohaku called, finally spotting the group in a far corner of the café.
"Kohaku? What's wrong?" Sango stood up slowly.
"There's this guy, with silver hair, and he was yelling at Kagome, and then all of a sudden he had her up against the wall, not like that Miroku, and I tried to push him off an-"
"Kohaku! Calm down. That's Inuyasha. Remember, that best friend that I used to talk about, but he moved away." Sango said soothingly, hugging her brother.
"The Legend!" Kohaku asked excitedly. "Yes bro, the Legend." Sango said, smiling lightly.
----
Inuyasha looked at Kagome curiously, stuffing his hands back in his pockets. He didn't really know what to expect from her.
Kagome stepped forward tentatively, holding out her hand as she had done less than an hour ago. Inuyasha looked at it cautiously.
Kagome sighed before grabbing his hand in hers and shaking it.
"Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi. I go to West Bringdom High School, an A student. I like adventure and I am a Field Agent for the United States of America's Government, a branch called the CIA. I'm your new partner." Kagome looked into his eyes slowly, locking their gaze.
He caught all the sincerity in her words. She wanted to start over? 'I guess I really don't know her.' No matter what happened in the class room, he was always seeing a different side of her.
"Hey, My name is Inuyasha Taikogami," Inuyasha said slowly, keeping his eyes locked with hers, "I'm a teacher at West Bringdom High School, hot teacher," He couldn't help but add, " I love adrenaline and I am a Field Agent for the CIA. I'm your new partner."
Inuyasha let their hands drop, but he didn't move his eyes. Her eyes, they were so deep. Inuyasha broke the eye contact. "It's nice to meet you Kagome Higurashi."
He smiled.

"Send the pictures. I want an agent on it immediately. Keep tabs."
"Yes sir, right away, sir."
A/N OMG! Finally. It's been so long and it feels so good to get this all out. I really like this chapter. In fact, I LOVE IT! It's like I could feel my writing for the very first time. Everything just seemed to flow.
Maybe it's not as great as I thought. But I hope you'll tell me what you think. If any of you are still there. . .
I'm so sorry that it's taken this long. I'm going to start writing as many of these as I can so that when I get busy, I can just update and not have to write. I'm so very sorry for making everyone wait.
I hope you all enjoy this.
Oh to clear some stuff up:
I had a question as to what Kagome did to Inuyasha in the last chapter. I don't blame anyone for not understanding since you probably haven't read this in a while. She had the remote control shocker. She shocked him when she walked out.
A lot of things are going to be happening soon so if you're still interested keep reading!!!
