 THE SPY

*              * * *           *               *

" Okay, class. I will be handing out the quiz grades you all took yesterday. As usual some of you need some improvement but I am really happy that most of you scored more than I expected," said Ms.Yura, with a bright smiled on her face.

Kagome looked on in surprise and lean towards Sango who was sitting beside her, " Sango-chan . . ." she whispered softly in her friend's ears.

" Hm? Yes, Kagome-chan?" Sango answered with a whisper.

" Is it just me or something, because Ms.Yura seem to be in a really good mood today," Kagome said, glancing back towards Ms.Yura, who was busy passing out papers, her smile still on her face.

" Hm? Oh, Ms. Yura?" Sango smiled " It must be because Mr. Hiten had proposed to her just yesterday."

" Wha . . . What?" Kagome shouted in surprise.

" Shhhhhhhh!!!" Sango placed a finger over her lips, she glanced around and sighed in relief no one heard it, " It's still a secret but yeah, Mr. Hiten proposed to her in the middle of the rain."

" Ohhhh~, how romantic!!" Kagome said as her face turns red. " But, then how did you find out about it?"

Sango stuck out her tongue, " Don't underestimate my info network."

Kagome blinked her eyes in surprise.

*                 *                 *                    *

" Why the scowl expression, Renkotsu?"

Renkotsu turned towards the dark figure behind, " Cut out with the hiding crap, Naraku. I don't like talking with people behind my back."

" Kukuku . . ." Naraku steps out of the darkness with a smug look, " I'm terribly sorry. Did I offend you?"

" What the heck do you want? For sure, you have some reason for calling ME instead of Bankotsu," Renkotsu sent a glare at him.

Naraku smirked, " Oh, its just something I want you to give to your leader." He puts his hand inside the inside pocket of his jacket and pulled out something covered in white cloth. He hands it out to Renkotsu, who took it without any doubt.

" This is . . . !!!" Renkotsu widen his eyes at the thing hidden inside the white cloth.

Naraku's smile spread as his eyes narrowed, " I am pretty sure that would be in good use."

" But  . . . I still don't understand, why the heck are you giving it to me? You could just have given it straight to Bankotsu. Surely, he is more reliable than I am."

" It is because it is you that I am giving it to."

" What?"

Naraku walked to the side and glances at Renkotsu, " You see . . . Renkotsu. I . . . have this feeling that I should not put all my trust towards your leader. I feel that he . . . is thinking of something more . . .men like him are not to be trusted. Do you understand?"

" So, you're trying to betray us?"

Naraku smirked, " That is the same with you, isn't?"

" I don't know what you're talking about." Renkotsu held his pokerface.

" Kukuku . . . it's no use hiding it, Renkotsu. I can see everything what you're thinking. You are planning to leave your group . . . leave Bankotsu."

" . . . . .What are you trying to say?"

" Ah . . . you don't get the point? What if I say it in a different way then? How would you like it if I give more pay to you . . . only you?"

" Are you saying that you want me to betray the Shichinin-tai? Betray Bankotsu?"

" Isn't that what you want? You always have loathe Bankotsu from all your heart, haven't you?" Naraku smirk, noticing Renkotsu's twitch in his lips. " You always have thought that you want to go higher than Bankotsu. You always admired everything of what Bankotsu had."

" What do you want me to do?"

" Kuku . . ." Naraku's expression darkens as his red eyes glowed evilly, " Kill Bankotsu."

" What!!?"

" You see . . . to tell the truth, I have no use of Bankotsu anymore. But, I am pretty sure he won't back out until he gets his pay. I have no intention of paying him. even a cent. But as a stubborn person he is . . . it seems impossible for me to cancel our contract. That is why . . ."

" You want me to kill him."

" Kukuku . . . I see you are getting it. Bankotsu will never think in his life that one of his LOYAL comrades will betray him and is planning to kill him. The weapon is . . . of course, in your hand."

Renkotsu looked down at the white cloth-covered thing. " Where did you get this?"

" I have . . . certain connections."

Renkotsu frowned, " You're a scary guy, Naraku."

" I will take that as a compliment," Naraku then walks back into the darkness, " I am really expecting good work from you, Renkotsu."

Renkotsu watched Naraku disappearing into the darkness. He looks down at the object Naraku had given it to him and removes the white cloth. He takes it into his hand feeling the weight. " Don't worry, Naraku. I'll kill Bankotsu . .  for sure."

Renkotsu then smiles darkly, putting away the gun inside his inner pockets.

*             *               *              *

" I . . . I can't believe it! Renkotsu!!?"

A figure was hiding behind the shadows listening to every single word of the conversation.

" Bankotsu is in trouble!!!"

I I'm the only one that can save him!! /I

*            *                *            *

" Congratulations, Ms. Yura!!"

" Huh?"

Ms. Yura blinked her eyes in surprise at the two girls in front of her.

" How did he propose to you!!?"

" Oh come on, tell us, please!!"

" Wha . . . How did you found out?"

The three were in Ms. Yura's class, which was now empty. Kagome and Sango visited their teacher to congratulate her. Their eyes were sparkling with excitement and wonder.

" Oh, come on, Ms.! Please tell us! We promise we won't tell!!"

" Yes," Kagome followed, " Please tell us!"

" W . . . Well, it's really nothing. He just said . . . um . . . let me see . . . ' I love you, and only you, in the whole wide world. Would you marry me?' . . . I think that was it," Ms. Yura smiled nervously, her face red with embarrassment.

The two girl's expression brightens as Ms. Yura sweatdropped. " Umm, girls?"

" We really hope for your happiness, Ms. Yura!! When is the wedding!!? Are you going to invite us!!?" Sango squealed in delight.

" Oh my god!! That is so romantic!!" Kagome then smiles as an image of Inuyasha appeared in her mind. ' Oh god, I wish he'd say that to me.'

" W . . . well, we . . . we haven't decided yet. It was so sudden so . . . "

" But, you do love, Mr. Hiten, don't you!!?"  Kagome asked.

" Yes . . ." Ms. Yura smiled, her face still red, " At long last, my dreams of being with my love comes true . . . and I am truly happy from my heart."

Sango and Kagome looked at each other and smiled.

" We're happy too, Ms. Yura!!!"

*          *            *             *

" Yes . . ."

A figure was standing outside the classroom, peeking into the three girls, listening to their conversation. The figure's eyes darted towards Kagome, who was busy talking with Sango.

"Yes . . . I have found her." The figure spoke into some radio-transmission looking thing, " Yes . . . roger that. . . I will kill . . . Higurashi Kagome.
