Chapter 4: Busted and the Knights
The next morning Kagome and Inuyasha were sleeping snuggly in each other's arms in Kagome's bed, still naked from last night's festivities. Kagome had her arms lazily wrapped around his neck and he had his arms wrapped under hers and up to rest his hands on her sloped smooth shoulders. The blanket was pulled up below their chests and they were a little cold in the morning air so the held each other close both to lazy to just pull the blanket up. What they didn't know was that their peaceful lazy morning was about to be shaken up by two unexpected visitors.
"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" the hansom young CIA agent asked the devilishly hansom leader of the Lo Techs. They both happened to be walking next each other and have been since they both drove up the White House carpool. Bankotsu was able to get through with fake ID's and good acting and Koga get by the security with a simple flash of his badge. Bankotsu looked at him perplexed and then got his own look of confusion.
"Maybe…I cant remember where though." Bankotsu dropped the subject though for fear of finding that this agent was currently trying to hunt down the leader of the Lo Techs. Neither remembered that two years ago they both battled against Naraku in the final battle for the Shikon Jewel.
They both walked along the halls looking around and when they found the halls they were looking for they were perplexed to find the other person would follow them. They came to the door and looked at each other in confusion. "You're here to see Kagome too?" Koga asked a look of jealousy in his eyes.
"Yes, we are friends and lovers." Said Bankotsu casually. Koga stared at Bankotsu dumbfounded and began to snarl.
"You and MY Kagome! What do you mean "lovers"!" Koga yelled angrily in Bankotsu's face.
Bankotsu smirked. "If you don't believe me why don't you go ask her your self." Bankotsu said confidently.
Koga looked hesitant and then got a resolute look he took the doorknob and opened the door. They looked around for a minute for the girl and then their eyes fell on the bed. They saw the two in the bed and their eyes grew to the size of saucers and their jaws dropped. Inuyasha sniffed lightly and opened his eyes. He slowly released Kagome and sat up. The two men at the door stared at the hanyou on the bed in shock.
"DOGTURD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Koga shouted angrily. Inuyasha paused and smirked at them. Bankotsu had a red tint to his cheeks and looked down at the ground dejectedly. Koga obviously didn't get that Kagome picked Inuyasha and continued to rant and rave like a lunatic. Inuyasha didn't like Koga's loud cursing and looked down at the sleeping Kagome in concern.
"OI! Shut up! Kagome is sleeping!" Inuyasha said as quietly as he could but still yelling. Koga's jaw snapped shut and he glared at Inuyasha murderously.
"What the f are you doing mutt face! Kagome is my woman!" Koga growled. Inuyasha began to growl at him too and Bankotsu was now glaring at Inuyasha menacingly.
"Shut up Koga, Kagome chooses me alright? So beat it, I was planning a special wake up call for my mate." Inuyasha said with an arrogant smirk. Koga's and Bankotsu's jaws dropped and they ran over to the bed to yell and shout in Inuyasha's face. Of course, Kagome wasn't asleep for long with this going on and she opened her eyes to see her lover, wolf demon friend, and Lo Tech friend arguing at the top of their lungs about something or other. She noticed her state of undress and pulled the blanket up to cover her chest.
"What's going on?" asked Kagome.
"These losers still think youre theirs!" Inuyasha growled feeling a little guilty for waking up his angel. Kagome blushed and glared at the two intruders.
"Koga…Bankotsu…I'm with Inuyasha now. You guys don't have a claim on me." Then came an uncomfortable silence, Kagome shifted and looked down at her lap feeling bad about being so mean to the nice guys. "Um…I think you should go now…" Kagome said softly. The two men looked at her hopefully waiting for her to pick them instead but when she wouldn't look at them they slowly left. Just as they cleared the door two other intruders walked in this time Miroku and Sango.
Miroku and Sango stared at them with mixed emotions; Miroku looked proud of Inuyasha and winked at him, Sango looked well…pissed. She had a VERY angry look on her pretty face.
"What's wrong Sango?" asked Kagome meekly.
Sango opened her mouth to say something but Inuyasha cut her off rudely. "Must be THAT time of the month for her who knows what's making the bitch mad." Inuyasha grumbled.
This seemed to push Sango over the edge because her face began to turn red with rage. "YOU! How dare you! You're suppose to PROTECT her! How are you going to do that while romping in the sack like a horny dog! AND ANOTHER THING! PLEASE! Tell me you used a condom!" Sango yelled and was now breathing heavily in anger. Kagome's eyes were the size of saucers and Inuyasha looked like a scared puppy.
Inuyasha got a confused look. "Condom? …No…" He said quietly. Sango gave a frustrated cry and stomped out of the room.
Miroku watched her leave and smiled at the stunned couple on the bed. "Don't worry, the PMS should stop by tomorrow." With a good natured grin he walked out of the room.
The next day Inuyasha awoke in Kagome's bed but didn't see her anywhere. He looked around confused and decided she must have went to breakfast. He went down stairs and joined the Higurashi's , Sango , and Miroku for breakfast. He didn't see Kagome though or her father but he knew that he was off doing work.
Inuyasha finished eating and looked up at Mrs. Higurashi who wasn't talking to anyone. "Um… Where is Kagome? Why isn't anyone with her?"
"Oh, she said she was going to the bathroom but she hasn't been back for awhile." Said Kagome's mom a little worried. Sango and Miroku looked over and frowned, they hadn't noticed her absence. Inuyasha stood abruptly and went in search of the girl. He sniffed around and caught her scent. He found a large room with a WHOLE LOT of computer equipment. He sniffed around and found her scent ended there. Inuyasha began to panic, what if she were kidnapped! Inuyasha looked around for any signs of a struggle but didn't expect a shoe to come down on his head. Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome working on something up at the ceiling.
Kagome was suspended in mid air with the help of rock climbing equipment and was tinkering with some kind of lights up there. "What the hell are you doing wench!" Inuyasha demanded. Kagome blinked and looked down at him.
"Hey Inuyasha! I'm working on some stuff for my computer. I JUST found out that the mail room got my package after coming back from the bathroom. See! Isnt it cool! I can create holograms with this stuff!" Kagome said joyously. Inuyasha looked at her like she was crazy. He would never understand her love for computers. He saw her stop what she was doing and watched her release the grip so she would ease down to the ground slowly. He unhooked her for her and she was immediately glued to her computer. Inuyasha frowned and watched her mess with it. He shrugged and took a seat in a nearby chair. He watched her and suddenly the lights of the room went out and they were in pitch darkness. Inuyasha got up looking for someone to fight off but no one attacked him. Suddenly there was Kagome standing up and walking around, strangely he could see her clearly in the darkness.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called worried.
"Isnt this cool! We're in the internet, a new upgrade we are working on." Kagome said motioning around at the darkness.
Inuyasha frowned. "But I don't have any virtual reality equipment on me." Said Inuyasha.
"This is different, instead of you having to be projected into the web to see what's going on you can have someone in the room secretly watching what youre doing on the web and no one in the web would know. The only reason you can see me is because Im wearing the virtual reality helmet. I however cant see you." Said Kagome.
"Okay, so what are you going to do?" asked Inuyasha.
"I am going to do a person search. I want to find out what happened to Shiori." Said Kagome with a sad smile. "Engage buddy list." Kagome called. A list of names with different status icons next to them appeared. "Open IM for "Jakotsu"." The name on the list that had Jakotsu in parentheses flashed and suddenly a hologram of Jakotsu appeared infront of her. Jakotsu gave her a slight smile and nodded to her.
"Hello, what is it I can help you with Little Sister?" asked Jakotsu. Kagome ignored the name and pressed on.
"I need to know what happened to Shiori after Naraku killed her." Kagome said.
Inuyasha glared at Jakotsu in disgust as he spoke. "Oh, I myself do not know much but I do know someone who knows a lot about what youre getting yourself into. Here Ill connect you." Jakotsu vanished and there was silence suddenly a giant grinning mouth with pearly white teeth appeared in front of her.
"SSSSS…Hello Im Cheshire Cat! How may I assist you Kagome?" asked the giant mouth.
Kagome frowned. "How do you know my name?"
"sss…Like I haven't heard of you! Ssssss….You are all the buzz here in the Wired." Said Cheshire Cat.
"The Wired?"
"Yesssss…It's the new name for the web because of the upgrades." Said the mouth with a grin.
"Oh…Well I want to know what happened to a girl named Shiori who died in Feudal Web two years ago." Said Kagome.
The mouth's grin seemed to falter but it soon grew back to a wide smile. "Oh…ssss Shiro's death has been silenced by the Knights; her parents have reported her missing too." Said Cheshire Cat.
"Your speech hardware is too staticy." Said Kagome in irritation.
Cheshire Cat ignored the comment. "The Knights are plan on taking advantage of the Wizarding world's temporary weakness and helping He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Said the Cheshire Cat. "That is all I know. I suggest talking to the Ministry. Bye Kagome. Happy Hunting!" The mouth faded out and Kagome removed the helmet and the room lit back up.
"Well, I guess we have some investigating to do." Said Inuyasha.
