Hunt's homicidal laugh could be heard above the loud pitch screams and gunfire that erupted from the area. As if almost on cue, military helicopters could be heard over head and sirens in the distance were well on their way there.

"No! No, no, no!" Bryan yelled, pushing random people out of his way, following only the silhouette of Hunt through the crowd.

"Get out of the way!"

Inuyasha's shouts could also be heard as well.

"Move!" And sure enough, Kagome wasn't too far behind him.

Hunt smashed into the metal door of a nearby building. Before running in Bryan looked at the name on the sign above.

Nan-Tech Industries - Field Office

That wasn't good. An office complex meant many, many rooms from which an ambush could be waiting.

'But what more do I have to lose?' Bryan reasoned before rushing in.

Once inside, Bryan took a deep breath of air. All the smoke screens had taken an affect on his breathing. Though the new, cleaner, air was great.

Drawing his gun, he nearly shot Inuyasha as he too, busted through the same door.

They both had their guns raised at each other.

"You're not an agent anymore, Bryan. Let the authorities handle this."

"Not a chance. This is my fight Inuyasha, I won't let you take it." Bryan clicked the hammer back, Inuyasha followed suit.

Kagome watched them from a corner. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"I'm only going to say this once Bryan, but the gun down, and leave."

"Only on one condition."

"What's that?"

"Shoot me dead first."

Inuyasha sighed. Of course this wasn't going to be easy.

While Inuyasha was thinking things over, Bryan readjusted his aim so the bullet would fly right between the hanyou's ears and into the fire alarm system above.

He had no intention of actually hurting his friend, just simply giving him a little headache.

Inuyasha wince when Bryan fired, Kagome almost raised her weapon, but stopped herself when the fire sprinklers and alarm went off. When Inuyasha's hands went to his ears, Bryan took his chance, kicking down a nearby door and heading further into the building.

"Son of a bitch!" Inuyasha's yells could be heard behind him, he paid no heed.

Charging up the first flight of stairs, Bryan shot and killed a could of terrorists that didn't even get a chance to raise their weapons. Bryan knew that Hunt would head for te top floor without any restrictions to where he place his men.

Bryan must of killed twenty or thirty before reaching the top stairs. He kicked in the door just as Hunt turned around. Once again, Bryan was looking down the barrel of the gun.

"This will be your final interference!" Hunt was aggravated. From day one, this guy had managed to pound all his well planned plans into the ground.

"What makes you so sure?" Bryan seethed. The door slamming shut behind him told him he was trapped, and more than likely, there were two terrorists behind him.

Oh shit…

Pounding boot steps were heard coming up the stairs, they stopped right behind the door, then seemed to continue up another level.

"Ah good, my men are securing the roof for my extraction."

"You bastard!"

"Yah well… it doesn't matter, in a few moments you'll be dead. No one else will get in my way!"

"What about my team? They'll stop at nothing to kill you."

"I know their weaknesses. The hanyou's is that little bitch Kagome. All I have to do is kill her and he'll crumble. The rest of the team will follow soon after."

Hunt looked behind Bryan. "You three! Leave!"

Looks like I was wrong. There were three. Hunt just made his mistake though, we're all alone.

His men followed orders without question. However, as soon as the door shut, three gunshots rang out.

Hunt was taken by surprise. "What the-"

He didn't finish his sentence as Kagome came crashing through the large window behind him, running up and delivering a swift kick to the back of the head.

"I'm a bitch, huh?"

Bryan blinked. I never taught them that…

Hunt crawled back to his feet and snapped his fingers. A few more guards appeared from doors on their left and right, trapping Kagome and Bryan in the middle. Suddenly one of the men fell flat on his face as Inuyasha used his back for leverage to flip himself into the circle.

The man's space was filled quickly as Hunt left.

"What do you count? Twenty?" Inuyasha asked.

"I've got twenty-four." Kagome responded, as she pressed her back to Bryan's. Inuyasha pressed his agaisned both their sides.

"Any bright ideas now, Bryan?"

"Still miffed about that ringing in your ears?"

"Not as much as the wet dog smell."

"What, never taken a bath?"

"If you guys are done, incase no one has noticed there seems to be men with guns here." Kagome chilled, her eyes darting from one to another.

"What? The rookies? Check the guy in the middle, he can't even hold the stock strait."

Inuyasha huffed.

"Alright, drop your weapons now and all we'll do is but little metallic bracelets on yah." Inuyasha called out to the terrorists.

"We have you out numbered and you say you'll arrest us?"

"Radio's are dead guys." Bryan whispered.

"Stupid jamming device." Inuyasha cursed under his breath. He looked over at the broken window and found Kagome's rope still hanging from it.

"Kagome, I'm gonna launch you for the rope, grab it, repel down, and get us some back up. Tell them to move their asses to the roof." He said, seeing Kagome nod out of the corner of his eye, he grabbed her forearm from behind his back.

Before any of the terrorists could react he threw her towards the rope, watching as she grabbed it with a tactical precision and repelled down it quickly.

With an open space, Inuyasha pressed his back to Bryan's. The terrorists looked bewildered for a second before giving the trapped agents a glare.

"Looks like we lost our toy. Oh well boys."

"Oh, bad move." Bryan said under his breath, feeling Inuyasha tense behind him.

"Come on guys, last chance before this guy goes postal."

"Fat chance."

"Bryan, freak them out a little." Inuyasha whispered, when he didn't get a response her tried again. "Come on, do that time thing."

"What do you think I've been-"

When his sentence stopped, Inuyasha couldn't feel him anymore. He didn't have to look to know what happened.

"Where did your friend go?" One of the terrorists asked.

"Right here." Inuyasha could here Bryan's eerie voice.

He moves fast.

"Now I'm over here." Bryan's voice again, this time one of the terrorists was lifted off the ground by his neck. As he chocked the other watched until her was tossed into the ground nearest the window, affectively knocking four or five others out of it.

The fire fight followed shortly after. Inuyasha fired with practiced precision towards whatever terrorists had a weapon pointed at him. Bryan was doing the same until they had cleared the room out.

Breathing heavily, Bryan stood still with his weapon raised.

"Damn it…" He said, nearly collapsing.

Propping himself against a wall, Bryan ripped the top part of the kimono off. Inuyasha saw the fresh blood oozing slowly from the wound. It was on the opposite side from where his heart was.

"Shit, this sucks."

Inuyasha was now kneeling beside him, fishing though his own Kimono for his TAC-kit. He pulled it out and tossed it down, quickly running through it, taking out the supplies he would need.

After bandaging Bryan back up Inuyasha stood up, slowly taking off the Kimono.

"God I hate these things. They do nothing but slow me down."

Underneath was his combat clothes. Mostly just a tight fitting red shirt and blue jeans. His BPV was obvious through the shirt. The hip holster was empty as his weapon was already in his hand. Inuyasha picked up one of the terrorists automatic rifles, noticing that a bullet was jammed he cleared it, then he checked the clip and found four bullets left.

He quickly started gathering bullets and clips from all the rifles.

Bryan stood after a moment.

"What are you doing? That would looks serious." Inuyasha said, he didn't have to turn around to know that Bryan was going to start going already.

"I started the job, I'm going to finish it."

"You're hit."

"I know that."

"So sit down. Let us finish the job."

"You seem to keep forgetting. I use to be part of us. I can handle this."

There was a moment of silence in which Inuyasha checked the sights on the rifle. Finding the good, he spoke again.

"What about being part of that again."

"I can't do that. Technically I'm a terrorist now. I'm surprised that you don't shoot me where I stand."

"You're no threat to me." Inuyasha said simply.

"What makes you say that?"

Turning, Inuyasha tossed a rifle to Bryan, he caught it and winced at moving so fast. Inuyasha walked right up to him, placing the barrel of the rifle right on his forehead.

"Alright, prove you're a threat. Pull the trigger."

After a tense second, Inuyasha stepped back.

"That's what I thought. Now answer my question. If given the chance, would you come back to STF?"

The question wasn't anywhere near a joke as Bryan would of took it so long ago. He still felt the need for the job among other things. He still felt the need to protect those dear to him.

That had already been proven at the hospital, in the market, and with Ouka. And while some would say two out of three isn't bad, Ouka getting shot when he was supposed to protect her was bad. It was unacceptable.

But with that said…

"Look, I'm not going to lecture you as to why you should come back but…" Once again, another object was tossed to him. Bryan noted as to how it didn't hurt to catch this one.

Dormant hanyou blood kicking in. Inuyasha also noted.

Bryan looked at it.

"You knew I would be here?"

"I had a hunch. Something told me you would end up here one way or another."

Bryan watched the gold glint of his old badge, the same one he had chucked other the falls with his radio.

"How did you…"

"It's amazing what just happens to land on a my head during a picnic with Kagome under the rocks."

Bryan gave him a sheepish look. "Sorry."

"She got a good kick out of it until we realized it was yours."

"Alright… fine… I'll go back. But not until after this… if I survive."

"Good to hear it. That fucking paperwork was getting on my nerves. How the hell do you do it all!"

Bryan chuckled, but it was drowned out by the sound of rotor blades.

"Shit." He cursed, running up the stairs, his would forgotten about.

By the time the reached the roof the chopper was to high for either to jump to. Instead, they tried to shoot it down.

Bullets rattled the chopper as it began to pull away. While Bryan reloaded, Inuyasha fired, and vice-versa so that a constant stream of bullets was flying. The chopper faltered as a bullet tripped the pilot up, but it wasn't long before it was pulling away.

Bryan cursed at the chopper pulling away. His cursing was drowned out by another chopper coming up behind them. Bryan turned around to see Kagome smiling down at them as Sango waved from her position at the controls.

(Fast Forward)

A little bit of acting got them a long way when it came to chasing Hunt. They had caught up with Hunt's chopper and a fire fight had broken out. The chopper Sango was piloting never actually took a bullet, but because of her control method, it seemed like they had. When in fact, Inuyasha had shot a tracking bullet into the side of the enemy chopper, instant activation saw to the fact that Hunt would be tracked all the way to his destination.

And that's where they were near now. They had set the chopper down five miles east of their current location and had hiked to the shore. Now they watched the island via binoculars, seeing each enemy patrol.

"Not heavily guarded." Kagome commented. "It's almost as if they didn't knew they were followed."

"Good, Inuyasha did something right for once." Sango hissed.

"You got somthin' to say?" He hissed back, taking his eyes away from the specs.

"Right, anyway. I'll go in alone and keep in radio contact." Bryan said, getting up and walking over to some gear.

"What? Are you crazy! You'll get killed." Inuyasha yelled.

"We can't send more than one in. I'm going in alone. That is final!" Bryan huffed, grabbing some ammo and an inflatable raft.

"Alright. But keep in contact. If we lose vitals we're staging an assault."

"No. You wait for him to make another move and get him them." Bryan countered. "Guys… if I don't make it out… tell Ouka what happened. And Deliver a special message to her for me." He said, jumping off the edge of the cliff, and into the waters below.

(Island)

Nightfall was his friend for once as Bryan pulled the boat ashore.

A moment later his earpiece yelled at him. "You said you had a message for Ouka?"

Inuyasha's voice was calm and understanding. The sign of a hanyou that was alone. Everyone else was probably taking naps and shifts. "Yah, let her know I love her."

There was a moments silence. "Understood. Good luck."

Bryan nodded and lucked around him. Everything appeared to be dark, until he looked directly behind him, spotting two golden eyes right behind him in the dark.

This isn't good.

Was his last coherent thought.

(Inside the Island Base - Unknown Room)

When Bryan woke up, he expected three things. One, to be tied down. Two, to be in a dark, dank cell. And three, to hear Hunt's voice laughing and mocking him and true, terrorist fashion.

Not to be looking into the most golden and sincere eyes ever.

He sat up and she moved back a little to allow him to.

"Where am I?" He asked, looking around the room.

"Inside my dad's base." She said, her voice was sweet too.

"Hunt is your dad?"

"So he says. Though I don't believe it."

"Why do you say that?"

"I am an Inu-hanyou. He is pure wolf. I find it hard to believe he mated with a female dog."

"So you're adopted?"

"I don't know. I can't remember much of my past. Just this other Inu-Hanyou with eyes like mine."

Inuyasha…

"Anyway… mine name is Akira. What is yours?"

"I'm Bryan."

"Why were you snooping around the island?"

"Your so called father is a wanted terrorist."

"Tell me something I don't know."

"He's killed hundreds if not thousands."

"Again… I knew that."

"One of them was my mate."

Akira fell silent. "I am sorry for what he has done. And I never condone it at all. But… what are you here to do about it? Many freelance people have tried to take him down. All have been killed."

"Yah well… none of them come from where I'm from."

"Oh? And where would that be?"

"I'm an STF agent."

"STF? What's that?"

"We are a specialized force trained to do one thing: Kill and Captured terrorists."

"I still don't think you can do it. My father is a powerful demon. He'll kill you."

"I've fought him numerous times… he hasn't yet…"

"Akira dead, who is in there with you?" Hunt's voice yelled from the other side of the door.

"Just a friend dad!" Akira called back. Bryan sighed after he realized that Akira had no intention of turning him into her father.

"Who's this friend? I don't remember any visitors signing in."

"I snuck him in. He's a very good friend of mine."

"Well… don't sneak anyone else in. Got it?" Hunt's footsteps walked away from the door.

"He's a terrorist… who hates sexual innuendo." Akira sighed, plopping down on the bed beside me.

"Alright, now what to do with you…" She sighed. "Tell you what… I'll help you get him… but only if you help me get out of here. I can't shake the feeling that there's someone out there still looking for me."

"Deal. But how are we going to do that?"

"Simple." She said, getting up and fishing through a closet.

"Dad hired a body guard to escort me around the complex since he's worried about some Anti-terrorists, probably you guys. He told me that the guard would wear this uniform. Don't ask me why he gave it to me for safe keeping. All we have to do is get you in it. Dad won't know it's you and if he asks, I'll explain that you came early."

"Alright… sure it will work?"

"Positive…" She said. "Oh, and the stuff I found you with is over there on that table."

(Hallways)

Bryan walked uncomfortably in the uniform that was very tight fitting.

"Follow me." Akira whispered as they entered what appeared to be a dining hall. Hunt sat at the head of the table. An empty space was set next to him as a few other figures sat at the table. Bryan figured them to be his minions. "Strike when ready." Akira whispered again before taking a seat at the table, Bryan stood to her direct right as he had been instructed to do before they left her room. Hunt eyed him for a moment.

"He came a day early dad. What's the big deal?"

"It is a tough time, my dear. I wouldn't want any problems arising."

Bryan felt his anger rise, but quickly stamped out the flames. He had to wait for the right moment.

Dinner went off without a hitch and Bryan waited for most of the other people in the room to leave. When all that was left was him, Akira, Hunt, and two other men at the table, Bryan made his move.

Quickly aiming the weapon at Hunt's head.

"What is this?" He yelled as Bryan pulled off the black ski mask.

"Your capture." He said simply.

"Shit… you let him in here didn't you! You bitch! After all I have done for you Akira."

Akira looked at her plate. Bryan didn't know if she was angry or on the verge of tears.

"How could you do this to your father?"

That's when she snapped.

"You… are not… my father! You think I wouldn't figure it out? There is no way I could be of your bloodline. I'm not pure evil!" She slapped him before hiding behind Bryan.

"You think you'll make it out of here alive?" Hunt hissed.

"Probably not."

Akira gasped. "But you promised!"

"You will… don't worry. My team will get you out… even if I don't."

Akira calmed and quieted. "Now as for you Hunt. Pretend you're going for a weapon… no matter, I'm not officially restated until tomorrow. I can shoot you where you sit now, and no one would give a rats ass."

Hunt knew he had been beat… until by pure luck, a guard came in.

"Sir! We have a chopper stationed… what the hell!" He saw Bryan's gun right before he was shot. It was almost instant as all the alarms went off and Hunt began running. Bryan fired the entire clip, but the demon just kept dodging them.

"Damn it… another missed chance."

"Bryan! Now would be a good time to haul ass out of there! The whole base just went on alert!"

"I know that. I'm heading for the LZ now."

"Come on." He pulled Akira along with him. Putting his mask back on.

"Intruder in the base." The alarm blared.

Even if Hunt was smart, his lackeys were very stupid as Akira and Bryan merely walked past a good portion of them. Only killing fifteen.

"Get in!" Bryan commanded as Akira jumped into the boat as Bryan covered themselves with a blanket of pistol fire. It wasn't long before they had reached the other side.

As planned, before lifting both him and the inu-hanyou to safety, Bryan placed a C4 timer on the boat and jammed the throttle on, causing it to go out to the middle of the water, and explode.

Climbing up, Bryan pulled Akira up and they began the short walk to safety.

(Camp)

Inuyasha kept watch as Sango powered the chopper up. Bryan would be there any moment and they would be off. Kagome had just finished packing up the supplies and was on the air ship, ready to lift off.

When Bryan trudged through the trees, Inuyasha was caught off guard.

"Akira… is that you?"

"Yes… but I don't know who you are…" She said…

Inuyasha, caught in the moment rushed the other hanyou, quickly grabbing her into a hug.

Akira was caught off guard for a moment before Inuyasha let her go.

"It's been ten, long years…" He said, pulling a picture, obviously torn, from his vest.

Akira looked surprised before she pulled another half from a pocket in her cargo pants.

"You're that guy from my pictures… dad always said that you were a no good idiot…"

"Hunt is not your father…" Inuyasha whispered. "Inutoshio is you father… you are… my sister…"
