"Sesshomaru kissed you?" Kikyou questioned her.

"Yeah and Inuyasha kissed you." Sango asked her older sister.

Kikyou simply nodded and walked away. This let Sango know that the conversation was over. The drive home was silent as well. But both sisters had a million thoughts racing threw their minds. Most of those thoughts were focused on the kisses shared with the Hayashi brothers. Kikyou was still in shock and Sango well she was almost thrilled about it until she remembered that he was the enemy.

"Oh yeah that's right." Sango whispered.

"What are you talking about?"

"Um nothing I was only thinking."

Once at their apartment Sango fell flat on the couch while Kikyou went into the kitchen. "Hey Kik what are you doing?" Sango asked.

"I'm starving and I distinctly remember seeing some cookies and ice cream. That is if you haven't already eaten it." Kikyou told her.

"Ha Ha very funny. Oh yeah I had some cookie dough ice cream can you pass it to me?"

Kikyou grabbed the ice cream and joined Sango on the couch. She remembered times when they would sit on the couch and talk for hours.

"Brings back some memories huh." Sango spoke.

"Yes it does. I remember the two of us sitting up late and talking."

Kikyou knew that Sango wanted to talk about what happened earlier. The truth was that she needed to talk about it too. And Sango was one of the few people who really understood her. She was more than her sister she happened to be one of her best friends.

"Kikyou can we talk you know about what happened earlier?"

"Yes we should talk about what happened between us and the Hayashi brothers."

"What are we going to do?"

Sango had always looked up to Kikyou ever since she was a little girl. She had always wanted to be like her and she always valued Kikyou's opinion. Kikyou had a good judge of character. So naturally she would go along with any plan that she came up with.

"What do you mean? We are going to arrest them as planned."

"But Kikyou they kissed us."

"So what they are still wanted criminals. We can not just let them get away because they kissed us."

"You have to admit it does change things for us now. I bet it's going to be really awkward next time we see them."

Kikyou thought for a moment and of course Sango was right. Things would certainly be awkward the next time. And for some reason no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop thinking of that kiss. She also knew that Sango couldn't stop thinking of that kiss with Sesshomaru.

"Kikyou?"

"Yes."

"Well its just." She started. "Oh never mind I shouldn't be discussing certain things with you."

"Sango I' am your sister you can talk to me about anything."

"Okay." She nodded. "Well I was wondering how you felt about the kiss."

Kikyou didn't answer the question right away. The truth was that she had enjoyed the kiss. And a part of had wished that kiss could have lasted longer but she would never admit it. "It was just a kiss it didn't mean anything." Kikyou answered lying.

"Liar you're such a liar I bet you enjoyed the kiss."

A small blush appeared on Kikyou's face which Sango quickly noticed. "Enough about me what about your kiss with Sesshomaru?"

Kikyou watched as Sango's face turned bright red. She felt better knowing that she wasn't the only one who blushed at the mention of that kiss.

"What can I say it was just a kiss?" Sango said lying.

"Yeah sure just a kiss huh."

"Can't really say that I'm surprised or anything. It's not like they hate us they might even like us. Other wise why else would they have kissed us."

"They did it to catch us off guard so we wouldn't arrest them."

"What Kikyou had said did make a lot of sense to Sango. For some reason she had felt that there was more to the situation then that. Sango watched as Kikyou yawned and got up from the couch. She couldn't blame her for being tired. If it weren't for all of the thoughts running threw her head Sango knew that she would be asleep right now.

"I'm going to bed I have to go to headquarters tomorrow." Kikyou said.

"To speak to the boss?"

Kikyou nodded.

"I'll go with you and afterwards we can go hang out."

"We'll see Sango you should go to bed. I need to be there at 8 and it is already 5 in the morning."

"Okay Kikyou goodnight or should I say good morning."

Kikyou laughed at Sango and then both sisters went their separate ways to their rooms. Each with thoughts about the Hayashi brothers and their true motives behind those kisses.

(The next morning at headquarters)

Kikyou and Sango's boss was an elderly woman named Keade. She used to be out there arresting criminals too but when she lost her eye in a freak accident. She decided to open up an agency of her own. She hired only the best people to work for her. Kikyou and Sango happened to be the best.

"Good morning Kikyou, Sango." A female voice was heard.

"Good morning Kagura." Kikyou nodded.

"Yeah good morning." Sango spoke.

Kagura just sat there filing her nails. She was one of the secretaries there so basically she didn't too much except sit and listen to the daily gossip.

"Well good morning to all of you beautiful ladies." A young man soon said.

"Hello Miroku." They all spoke in unison.

"Oh Sango I'm having trouble with my computer again would you mind taking a look?"

"Oh sure." She agreed.

Sango was basically a computer genius. It didn't matter what the problem was she could fix it. She was also very good at hacking into peoples systems and breaking all sorts of codes. These skills had earned her the nick name "Hacker". Kikyou just continued on to the boss's office. When she got there she gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Kikyou walked into Keade's office even after all these years she was still rather nervous. Keade could be intimidating when ever she wanted to be.

"Ah Ms. Hikaru please sit down. Would you like some tea or coffee?" she offered.

"No I'm fine but thank you."

Kikyou sat down across from Keade's desk and waited until she finished pouring the tea. "So I understand that you wanted to speak to me boss?"

"Yes it is about the Hayashi brothers."

"Sango and I are closing in on them. We'll have them in custody shortly."

"That's just it Ms. Hikaru you are always just closing in on them. I'm afraid that this has been going on long enough."

(With Sango and Miroku)

"You see Miroku there is nothing wrong with the computer. You just didn't have it plugged in."

"Oh thank you Sango you're a life saver." He said as he hugged her. She slowly returned his hug but then she started to feel that unwelcome hand. She pushed him away and slapped him hard across the face.

"You're such a pervert." She yelled at him. Sango left him standing there and went to look for Kikyou. She quickly realized that she must have already gone in to see Keade. She was about to enter the room but stopped when she heard voices.

"Kikyou this is your last chance to catch the Hayashi brothers. If you don't I'm afraid that I have no choice but to fire you."

"But boss…." She started.

"As much as I hate to see you it is a sacrifice that I' am willing to make."

Kikyou hung her head down low. She loved her job and she didn't want to be fired just because of two criminals that she was having problems catching.

"So you are going to fire me just because it's taking longer than expected to catch them. What about all of those criminals that I did manage to catch?"

This was something that Keade couldn't deny. Kikyou did capture a lot of criminals in the four years that she had worked for her. A part of the reason why Keade was threatening to fire her; was because she reminded her too much of how she used to be when she was younger. Back before she had lost her eye in that freak accident.

"Ms. Hikaru I will not deny that you are a wonderful asset to our team. But I stand by my decision. If you fail to arrest the Hayashi brothers and you are fired. Do you understand?"

"I…"

"Do you understand?" Keade raised her voice.

"Yes boss."

"Good you are free to go."

Kikyou bowed and then left the room. When she was exiting the room and she came face to face with Sango. Kikyou knew that she had heard the entire conversation.

"Sango."

"Kikyou."

"How much of that did you hear?"

"Just the part where she said that she would fire you oh I'm sorry Kikyou."

"Don't be it's alright why don't we go and get some breakfast it will be my treat."

"Okay sure."

Kikyou gave her a brave smile but Sango knew that she was upset. Kikyou's job had meant everything to her she had been doing it for years. There was no way that she could just say goodbye to it. She hadn't realized how upset Kikyou was until she saw her sitting there not eating her food. She only sat there swirling it around on the plate.

"Kikyou are you going to be okay." Sango asked concerned.

"Oh yes I'll be alright."

It was silent for awhile until Sango spoke again. "It's not fair she can't fire you. Without you Kikyou everything would go wrong. I can't believe that she threatened to fire you. Is there anything that we can do?"

"Sango… Sango please if Keade wishes to fire me then I will proudly pick up my things; and leave with my dignity in tact. And just because she wants to fire me it doesn't mean that you can't continue on."

"No Kikyou I can't continue without you. We're partners remember."

That was true the two of them did work better together than alone. What was Kikyou supposed to do if she was fired? She would lose her badge and her guns would be confiscated.

"Yes we are partners. If she does fire me you would have to go on without me."

"No Kikyou the only thing that we are going to do is arrest the Hayashi brothers. Come on lets go see if we can find some leads on them."

"Alright let's go." Kikyou agreed. If there was still a chance for Kikyou to save her job then she would take it. They went halfway across town to visit their friend Ayame. She was a private investigator who they had once worked with. If anyone could help them find Inuyasha and Sesshomaru it would be her.

"What can I do for you two ladies?" She asked them.

"We are looking for two criminals and we need your help."

"Okay what are the criminal's names?"

"Their names are Inuyasha and Sesshomaru Hayashi." Kikyou answered.

Ayame stared at the two of them for a moment. It was as if she almost couldn't believe that they had asked her that. Any questions she might have had for them she didn't ask. Instead she went into her drawer and pulled out two files.

"The last I heard those two had a hideout in Kobe. But I do know that they also have one here in Tokyo. And I also I heard from a source that they plan to rob a bank. But that is only a rumor sorry that I can't give you any more information."

"That's okay Ayame thanks for all of the info." Sango said.

"If you don't mind me asking what is all of this about anyway?"

"Because I will be fired if I don't arrest them." Kikyou answered.

Ayame opened her mouth wide and dropped the lollipop that she was eating. "Are you serious Keade wants to fire you? Why I mean you're the best that doesn't make any sense."

"She blames me for taking a long time to capture them. I think that she has a personal vendetta against me."

"Well good luck Kikyou. And remember that I have a position available here for you if you want it."

"Thank you Ayame I will keep that in mind. But for now I should be going."

"I understand. Goodbye then."

"Bye." The sisters told her. Sango and Kikyou left Ayame's office and decided to head back to headquarters. They could have Miroku try to pinpoint their location. It would be a long shot but it was worth it.

"Kikyou do you think that Miroku can help us."

"He's very good at his job I believe that he will be helpful to us."

"Perverted idiot." Sango whispered under her breath.

"I take it that you don't like Miroku to much."

"He's okay I guess. He just needs to learn to keep his hands to himself."

Kikyou nodded in agreement. Miroku could be a little too expressive with his feelings. She couldn't even begin to count the number of times that he had grabbed her. Kikyou had simply just lost count.

"Shall we go inside and ask Miroku for his help?" Kikyou asked.

"Yes but if he touches me there will be hell to pay."

(Later that night in another part of Tokyo)

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are deep in conversation at their hideout. "So how was your little run in with Kikyou?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Same as usual she hasn't changed much. She still wants to arrest us. How did it go with Sango?"

"She's the same I suppose. Although it didn't seem like she wanted to arrest me. She did manage to keep her gun aimed at me the entire time."

"Yeah Kikyou had her gun pointed right at me. But she would never kill me she has sort of a soft spot for me."

"Yes Sango wouldn't hurt me either and she knew that I wasn't going to hurt her. I'm surprised that she didn't slap me after I kissed her."

"I kissed Kikyou too apart of it was because I wanted to annoy her. But then I realized that I had wanted that kiss. I guess I have a soft spot for her too."

Sesshomaru nodded and Inuyasha yawned. The two of them were now tired and ready to go to bed. It was tiring work committing crimes all day. "Things should be different the next time that we see them." Inuyasha said.

"Yes things shall be very interesting the next time that we see the Hikaru sisters." Sesshomaru thought.
