All characters and settings are strictly fictitious. Any relations will real-life situations are coincidental. I don't own Inuyasha or any of it's characters, but I do own this plot, and my own original characters. Settings may be real, but are set in a futuristic area, not meant to offend anyone from the areas mentioned. Characters may also be very OC, because I felt like it. Different situations require different attitudes. Any questions can be emailed or reviewed.

Thank you,

Chapter 3: Castle Izayoi

Sango began making her way back up the stairs, walking straight to Ms.Shikon's office. When she entered, she found Kohaku talking to a woman seated at a desk. She wore a fire red blazer and mini-skirt, along with a pearl necklace ( all three looked way to tight). Her black hair drifted down her back, and her eyes were a cold brown.

" No, that will be Sango's job. Ah, here she is now. Welcome aboard the coalition, Ms. Tajiya. I'm Kikyo Shikon, the director of MEATC." Kikyo motioned to a chair, where Sango slopped down lazily, sitting in a very relaxed manner.

" Is it just me, or does MEATC sound a bit like a sandwich?" Sango mentioned, looking around at the certificates and pictures around the office. She also spotted an open book, with the title being 'The failure of project Dibbuk'. Kikyo coughed, and folded her hands neatly on the desk.

" In a way, I suppose it does. Well, clerical tasks first. Here's 1000 for the liberation of the island, and 200 for the rescue of Agent Kanna. Not bad for a surprise mission. Now, we're going to have you and Agent Kagura go to Castle Izayoi, where the WRS has barricaded themselves in. We think that's where they have the Shikon, which is the cure for Hell's curse, as you know. Here at MEATC, we control the flow, making sure it gets to key corporations and the government. There isn't much of the cure, so it's hard to spread evenly. The boat is waiting for you at the dock, so please move as quickly as possible." Sango nodded, and stood up, waving a little goodbye at Kohaku. She then walked out of HQ and to the dock. She hopped in, and stared out the window as the engine was revved up.

Buzz, Beep.

There isn't much of a map inside the actual castle, but a back way would be useful. Kagura likes to kill, so she might 'accidentally' shoot you. And I'm serious, keep your head down.

Sango nearly laughed. Well, if she shoots me I'll pop a few caps in her metal ass... She thought as she got off the dock. She was encountered by the same mech she had met before, in the break room. Her metal body replaced most of the flesh, at least almost everything that she could see before that black body armour.

" So, we meet again, Tajiya. Find a way into the castle and eliminate the terrorists, then find the Shikon barrels." Kagura stated harshly, walking off towards the front entrance of the statue. Sango nodded sarcastically.

" You do that, I'll just go ask this kid a few questions." Sango walked over to a small child sitting on a bench.

" Do you have anything to eat, miss?" The boy asked, holding is rumbling stomach. Sango searched around her jacket pockets, coming up with a bag of instant noodles. The kid tore them open and began eating hungrily.

" So, can you tell me if anything odd has been going on around here? Say, with speedboats?" The kid nodded.

" Yup. They were carrying a bunch of barrels. They use a keypad near the vending machine, the code is 1886." Sango smiled to herself. Nothing like a good back entrance.

" Thanks kid." Sango waved, and then searched around a vending machine which was located near a wall. She found a small box jutting from the wall. She cracked it open with her fist, and looked inside at the small keypad. She punched in the code, and stepped back as the vending machine slide to the side, letting her pass through. She loaded her stealth pistol, creeping down the stairs. She peeked around a corner, and found a few guards sitting around a large barrel, filled with purple tinged orbs, all glowing. She listened in on their conversation.

" This should be enough Shikon to vaccinate all of Buyo's troops and then most of the people around the Night crawlers." Night crawlers? I better listen a little more to this... Sango thought as she tucked into a very dark space. The guard's were still oblivious.

" I still say we oughta be careful. I heard they were sending mechs after us. Killing machines, that's what the Feds are gathering. Trying to keep the fact that they don't want all this Shikon going to people who really need it. Rich governors don't get sick."

" Well, I don't think we have to worry much. Mr.T and Lloyd say they got these security systems right from the feds, stole them before we set for the attack. We shouldn't be too over-worried, even mechs can't stand 400 bullets in the back." Sango chose this moment to strike, shooting each of them down with a single shot each, right to the head.

" Too bad they didn't consider augmented agents instead of boxes of bolts..." Sango muttered as she sent a message to Shippo.

Buzz.

Good work, we'll send in the recovery team. Head out the same way, and speak with Kagura.

Shippo's voice rang out once again, the info link still buzzing horribly. Sango shook her head, and ran out the back door, right past the recovery team. But not before snagging a few computer disks off of a table. When she walked outside into the nearby park, Kagura met her about half-way.

" Well, you completed the objectives, but you were much to soft on the terrorists. Satisfactory, none the less. You're next assignment is to save the hostages in the subway station. There is an Electro Magnetic Pulse ( or EMP) trigger trap that would set off many bombs in the station. Find a way to stop the bomb. Use your grenade, it should short out the trip wires. Get going." Kagura explained harshly, her red eyes swiveling and twitching. When she walked away, Sango noticed a small, tattooed black spider on Kagura's neck. Interesting... She thought as she ran towards the station. Fera park was considerably small, but the fighting well exceeded it's boundaries.

Sango loaded up her regular pistol, the scope still attached. She turned the corner, and fired at a few remaining WRS. The MEATC agents quickly took care of most of the WRS. One approached Sango.

" Agent, the situation is still in dire straights. Please be wary." Sango nodded, and looked around the subway, then crept down the stairs. She rolled the grenade down, and after hearing the electrical zap, she ran in full speed, leaping into the subway. She fired in the air, spinning with ease as she took out the terrorists. She rolled on the ground, and looked around. Not a single one left. Sango tucked away her pistol, and walked over to one of the former hostages.

" Did you hear them talking?" She asked. The man nodded.

" They were shipping barrels, talking about saving time." Sango nodded, an got on the subway, standing against the railway. The intercom buzzed out. Next stop, the Zone, industrial side.

First true mission, half complete.
