Last Time:

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said, his eyes and markings slowly turning back to normal. "Are you ok?"

"Yea, I'm fine."

"What is everyone doing here?"

"She was just about to explain everything. Come on and sit down," Sango said, patting the bed. Inuyasha and Miroku sat down and looked at Kagome. Kagome opened her mouth to speak, but she burst into tears instead.

"It was an accident Sango, I swear," she sobbed.

"I know it was, just tell me ok?" Kagome nodded and started to speak.

Chapter 23: Coincidence?

Kagome was sitting on the bed and looked around at her friends.

"Well,. You guys remember how Naraku used to be a pretty nice guy?" she asked as she looked around. Everyone nodded their heads and Miroku motioned for her to continue. "Ok," Kagome said with a deep breath. She seemed to be collecting her thoughts.

"One day I was walking home from school when I saw Naraku standing outside of Sango's house. I told him that her mom had told me that they were going to Norway for a month. His eyes lit up and he thanked me as he walked away."

"We were in Germany though," Sango said.

"I know, but your parents told me Norway because of a family trip or something," Kagome explained. Sango nodded her head and Kagome continued.

Flashback

Kagome walked home and went to bed. The next day her mother came in and told her that Sango's parents were killed. Kagome didn't connect Naraku and Sango's parents deaths until a month later.

Naraku came over to Kagome as she was walking home.

"It's all your fault Kagome," he said as he caught up with her.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked but Naraku just shook his head and continued walking. She called after him, but Naraku never turned around. Kagome ran after him and when she caught up to him she asked him to explain himself.

"Kagome its about your friend Sango. Her parents were killed."

"Yea, I know. I feel so bad for her. I'm going over now to see if I can help her. She wouldn't see anyone for almost a month."

"But it's your fault they died Kagome. And they didn't die in a freak mudslide either. I had them killed," Naraku smirked.

"What!" Kagome said, horrified.

"Well I knew that someone from the Japanese Intelligence was in Germany and that their cover was that they were in Norway. I also knew Sango's parents were in the Japanese Intelligence, but not their alias'. Now, thanks to you, I know."

"Japanese Intelligence?" Kagome asked sounding confused.

"Yes, her parents were spies." Kagome gasped in dismay.

"No, I didn't mean for that to happen," she said as she held her hands to her face.

"Yes, but Sango wont' see it that way. You killed her parents. How would you react?" Naraku asked. He knew Kagome's weakness was that she hated people being hurt. She hung her head and started to walk towards Sango's house.

"You'll tell her anyway," Kagome said, dejected.

"No, I won't. As long as you do as I say, Sango need never know," Naraku said. (a/n: ok no nasty thoughts here...) Kagome nodded her head.

:If you promise never to tell her," Kagome said.

"I promise,"Naraku said with an evil glint in his eye. "I promse."

Kagome finally finished her long monologue and Sango looked up shocked. Miroku and Inuyasha were at a loss for words. This sounded like something out of a movie.

"It's ok if you guys don't like me anymore," Kagome said, hanging her head. "I understand."

"Not like you?" Sango said giving Kagome a hug. "Oh Kagome. I forgive you. You should have told me right away. I would have understood."

"I know, but I was so scared you would reject me. You were my only friend for a long time."

"Hm...so Sango's parents were in Intelligence too? Strange," Miroku muttered.

"Yes, strange indeed," Inuyasha agreed. (a/n: one of his smarter moments )

"What do you mean strange?" Kagome asked.

"Well, both Inuyasha's parents and brother, as well as Sango's parents, and my father worked for the government. Did your parents ever work for a government?" Miroku asked Kagome.

"Well my grandfather did. He was the 'Spiritual Adviser' for the FBI. I have no clue why, but he was. Of course that could be a cover," Kagome said.

"We need to get outa here," Inuyasha said, grabbing Kagome's arm. "Let's go get our weapons."

"Uh, do you know your way around?" Miroku asked.

"Heh, sure I do," Inuyasha said as he laughed nervously. Kagome rolled hr eyes and was about to speak when an alarm went off.

"Security alert...security alert...all staff please return to your quarters and prepare for a lockdown...I repeat...return to your quarters..." a voice said as the sirens wailed. The group looked at each other and then ran out of the room before the door could lock.

"Where do we go now?" Kagome whispered.

"Well, since our weapons aren't in our cells/rooms/whatever you wanna call em then they must be back in Naraku's office," Sango said.

"Why there?" Miroku asked.

"Well, it's the only logical place to put htem. No one could steal them if they were in hi office," Kagome reasoned.

"I guess. Well, let's go. Times-a-wastin." The group left the hallway and headed towards Naraku's office. When they got there they found the door slightly open. Naraku was talking to someone einside. Kagome put up a cloacking barrier so they could eavesdrop without getting caught.

"Why is there an alert sergeant?" Naraku asked.

"Sir, it seems that our 'guests' didn't like your hospitality. They escaped," the other voice said.

"I see. Your guards aren't very good then. Bring them to me, and I'll deal with them later."

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, and one more thing. Take their weapons and put them in Room S-60. They won't find them there."

"Yes sir," the second voice said as he began to leave the room.

"Don't screw up this time sergeant."

"I won't sir. You can count on me."

"I know. if this goes well...a promotion may be in order."

"Yes sir. Thank you sir." The owner of the strange voice left the room with a large bundle of their weapons. The group started to follow him when Naraku came to the door. He looked around and seemed to suspect that something was wrong. He then walked down the hallway to an intersection and spoke to a passing guard. He then came back and went inside his office; locking the door.

"that was close," Kagome said as she dropped the cloaking barrier. Everyone agreed and they started in the direction the sergeant took, but when they go tto the intersection they had no idea which way to go.

"Uh, which way to de go?" Sango asked.

"I have an idea," Miroku said. He ran to one of the guards that were standing nearby. "Corporal, I have been told that there is a bomb in room S-60. We're part of the Bomb Disassemble Squad."

"Well, hurry up then. Why are you telling me?" the corporal asked, confused.

"We don't know where it is. We're new," Sango explained.

" Follow me," the guard said as he left his post. He signaled for someone else to take his place and then motioned for the group to follow him.

"Where's Rin and Sesshomaru?" Miroku whispered to Inuyasha.

"I don't know. We'll find them after getting our weapons," he answered. The guard stopped at a door marked S-60 and started to walk away.

"We can't have him telling everyone about the 'bomb' " Kagome said.

"You're right," Inuyasha said to her. He ran after the guard, hit him over the head, and brought him back. "So what do we do with him?"

"Make him forget. I don't' wanna kill him," Kagome said.

"That's my Kagome. Worries about everyone," Inuyasha said with a smile. Kagome smiled back at him and then started to look at the door.

"It doesn't seem to be wired or anything. It's just locked. We need a key card to open it." Kagome turned around to go through the guard's pockets when Sango held up a key card.

"Way ahead of you," she said with a wink. Kagome smiled and took the card, swiped it in the slot, and opened the door.

"Seems like it worked," Miroku said as he stepped inside. They grabbed their weapons as well as Rin's and Sesshomaru's. They then stuck the unconscious guard on top of a shelf, so when he woke up he would fall and not be able to tell anyone about his misadventure for a while.

"We gotta find the other two. Inuyasha can you smell them?" Kagome asked.

"They seem to be close by. Within a few rooms I would say," Inuyasha said. The group walked to each room and opened the doors with the key card. In the last two rooms they searched they found Rin and Sesshomaru.

"Come on guys. We have to get out and go after Naraku," Sango said.

"Wait, I think we're safe here for the moment," Miroku said. "we need to find out why Naraku wanted Sango's parents dead.

"What do you mean?" Rin asked.

"Oh, I forgot that you don't' know," Sango said. Rin shook her head, a little confused. Sango told her about what Kagome had told them an hour or so earlier. The two took the information in as if it was nothing new. And, as the group found out, it wasn't.

"We knew about Kagome's involvement in your parents death," Rin said, "but we couldn't tell you."

"Why not?" Sango asked.

"Because we know why he wanted your parents dead. He was running an operation that your parents tried to destroy. In the end he killed them, as well as anyone else on the case. Those people happen to be your parents or, in Kagome's case, grandparents," Sesshomaru said.

"What!" Kagome asked. "All of our parents were working on the same case?"

"Yes, and he wants us dead now because we know to much about the diamond smuggling operation he's working here." Kagome was just about to ask about the diamonds when footsteps were heard.

"They should be around here somewhere," a voice said.

"That sounds like the sergeant that was in Naraku's office," Sango said. Miroku agreed with her and was just about to say something when Naraku walked in the room.

"So, we meet again my little conniving friends," he said with an evil smirk.
