Kikyou and Sango had to of course check in with Keade. They had to tell her exactly why they wanted to go on this vacation. Their excuse was that there was a death in the family. They knew that it was a lie but they wanted to go to Russia.

"And why exactly should I give you this time off?" Keade asked.

"Well boss we haven't taken a vacation in over a year." Sango answered.

That was certainly true. Kikyou and Sango hardly ever took any vacation time. They were sure that they had a lot of time saved up. And they didn't care if Keade gave her approval or not. They were going to go to Russia.

"Good point." Keade nodded.

Kikyou took another sip of coffee and remained silent. Ever since she and Keade had that argument about her job she rarely spoke to her. She wouldn't even look in her in the eyes. She just sat there as if she had no opinion whatsoever.

"Now what is the reason why you need to go to Russia?"

"Um death in the family." Sango quickly spoke.

Keade gave them a very disbelieving look. The last she knew the sisters didn't have any other relatives. In fact all they had was each other. Their parents had died years ago and there had been no words on any other family members. Kikyou still remained silent. She had nothing to say and was now done with her coffee. Keade noticed how silent she was and this made things uncomfortable.

"Kikyou do you have anything to add?"

She got up and placed the empty cup of coffee on the desk. This time she looked Keade in the eyes. "What does it matter if we go on vacation or not? I'm being fired anyway." She told her.

Then Keade grew silent she did not look at Kikyou. That was all certainly true it didn't matter if they took a vacation or not. She still had every intention on firing Kikyou if she didn't arrest the Hayashi brothers.

"Fine you may leave but you will only get 2 weeks and that's it."

Kikyou nodded and left the office which left Sango to thank Keade for the vacation time. In the hallway she spotted Kikyou taking out some files from her desk. "I wish that you and the boss could get along. I hate being the middle man." She told her.

Kikyou didn't seem to be listening instead she was now on her computer. Sango could see that she was booking their flight to Russia. Kikyou hadn't said much about what happened between her and Inuyasha. But Sango could see that it had been on her mind a lot. And she had wondered what her sister had in mind. When Kikyou became really quiet like that it was because she was thinking of her next move. Sango knew that she had something planned to bring the Hayashi brothers down. All she had to do was find out exactly what that plan was. Later that night while they were packing. Sango decided to try to get some information out of her; although she doubted if she would tell her.

"What are you planning?" Sango asked.

"What do you mean sis?"

"You've been awfully quiet these past few days."

There was some truth in Sango's accusation. She had been planning something but she wasn't through thinking yet. She had no idea how she was going to go about it. And of course she would need to tell Sango about her plan.

"I'm not planning anything,"

But the look in Kikyou's eyes told Sango otherwise. She knew her sister very well nothing really surprised her. Besides Kikyou had to have some type of plan her job was still on the line.

"Yeah right I'm sure that you have something cooked up."

"Just go to sleep. Sango make sure you set the alarm clock alright."

"Sure thing."

Kikyou left and went into her room. They had an 8:30 morning flight they needed to leave early. Sango who had been thinking about what to expect in Russia had forgotten to set the alarm and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning when Kikyou had awoken it was 7:30 she had not meant to sleep that late. She went to see Sango who happened to be out cold. She shook her sister lightly but there was no response.

"Sango wake up we're already late."

Sango just turned over yawning sleepily. Kikyou noticed that the alarm had not been set either. She was going to kill Sango if she ever woke up. "Sango I'll tell Sesshomaru that you wish to marry him and have his children. If you don't wake up this moment."

Just then Sango woke up immediately. Kikyou smiled knowing that would get her attention more than anything. "What? What happened?" she asked groggily.

"We're going to miss our flight. Come on get up."

Sango wasn't really a morning person. She was often more energized at night. She soon got up and headed for the shower. Kikyou stood there waiting for her hoping to god that she wouldn't fall asleep in there.

"Kikyou have you seen my shoes?" Sango asked.

"Weren't they in your room?"

"I can't find them."

Kikyou sighed and then went to help Sango find her shoes. They spent nearly ten minutes trying to find them in the dimly lit room. "Ah here they are." Sango spoke as she was now holding onto a pair of shoes.

"Those are mine. You're holding onto my shoes." Kikyou told her.

"Oh sorry sis."

Another ten minutes had passed and they had finally found her shoes. The two sisters jumped into the cab and headed to the airport. Sango was busy nodding off as she tried to stay up. While Kikyou sat there on her laptop doing what looked like research. Before getting on the plane Sango stood there buying coffee and candy. And any other items she thought that she might need. With one final check to make sure that they had everything the sisters boarded the plane.

"Was all of that coffee really necessary?" Kikyou asked her.

"Yes you want me to at least look half alive don't you?"

Kikyou smiled at her sister she adored her personality. She soon regained her serious composure and took out her laptop. From time to time Sango would glance over to see what she was doing.

"So you do have a plan." Sango said.

"I'm doing research on a former criminal."

Just then a screen popped up. It was preventing her from finding out any more information. Kikyou knew what she needed in order to break the code. She knew for a fact that she was not good with that sort of thing. She of course knew someone who was.

"Sango I need your help."

"What's up?"

"This. Can you break this code for me?"

Sango was handed the laptop and stared at it for awhile. This was going to a piece of cake. Knowing how to do these kinds of things were her specialty. A man sitting next to her saw how fast she was working on it. He was absolutely amazed. He had never seen someone work that fast before.

"That was amazing miss."

"Thanks. I also hack into peoples systems; I can change the grades of people's report cards. I think there's more."

The man gave her an amusing laugh and they were soon in conversation. Kikyou on the other hand had given the man a suspicious look. There was something very familiar about him. Only she couldn't think of what it was.

"So where are you girls headed?" he asked.

"Russia." Sango answered.

"What a coincidence so am I?"

Kikyou knew that they shouldn't trust him. He was really suspicious and she knew to keep an eye on him. He noticed how she looked at him so he smiled. "You're beautiful you know." He told her.

She did not smile back. She hated when guys thought that flattery would make her like them. Wouldn't they ever learn that she was not the average girl?

"Kikyou shouldn't you thank him."

"Thank you." She said although she didn't mean it.

Hours later the plane had finally landed. Kikyou had fallen asleep and there was now someone waking her up. She opened her eyes to see the man from earlier.

"Your sister is waiting for you. She has the luggage."

This time she did not thank him. She got up from her seat and made her way off the plane. Before getting far he called out to her. "Kikyou you know you're even more gorgeous when you're asleep."

She did not like the look in his eyes. She went into her jacket pocket and threw a small knife. It didn't hurt him it only grazed his skin. "That flattery may work on my sister. But I' am not moved by It." she told him.

When Kikyou got off the plane she saw Sango standing there with the luggage. She decided that she would not tell Sango her suspicions just now. She would keep it to herself for awhile.

"So what hotel are we staying in?" Sango asked.

"We're not going to a hotel. We're going up there."

Sango looked to where Kikyou had pointed. She saw nothing but some mountains and cabins. It was now clear that they were staying in one of those cabins. "Kikyou this is so cool."

They had their bags sent up to the cabin first. Sango had soon persuaded Kikyou to take the ski lift up with her. When they landed safely on the ground Sango started talking about how fun it would be.

"We're going snow boarding and…"

But Kikyou held out her hand which prevented Sango from talking. Something felt strange it was as if they were being watched. "What's wrong?" Sango asked.

"Look."

There on top of a hill stood Inuyasha. He had a very satisfied expression on his face. He knew that Kikyou would come. She took out a gun and started to run after him.

"Kikyou hold on I'm coming."

"No stay here. Sesshomaru is bound to show up sooner or later."

Sango nodded and went inside of the cabin. She hoped that Kikyou wouldn't get hurt out there. She also hoped that she wouldn't see Sesshomaru right now.

"Be careful sister." She thought to herself.
