Chapter I: Plan B
"Kikki Lane, entertainment specialist." Kagome recited smoothly, tugging at her platinum blonde hair.
Ginta and Hakkaku nodded, ushering her inside. She let a smile cover her nervousness as she strolled inside of Kouga's mansion. This was where the meeting was being hold, Kagome thought to herself, letting her freehand tug tighter on her over garments that hid her hot pink well whatever it was she was wearing underneath.
She let her eyes wander unnoticeably, making note of all the exit places. One behind the staircase, one upstairs (which she doubted she needed), front door, of course and hopefully a backdoor. She nodded surely to herself, as she allowed herself to enter the living room where Kouga, along with Miroku was playing poker at.
'Are you in?' Sango's voice piped in, Kagome glanced up, seeing an overhead camera following her. She winked at it, 'Good. Make sure you grab Kouga's badge. Kagura wants it.'
"Kikki Lane, entertainment specialist." Kagome smiled brightly, pushing over the poker chips, slamming her briefcase on the table.
"We didn't order you." Kouga narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "I don't—"
"Miroku Houshi." Miroku broke in, slipping his hand into Kagome's, "I'm delighted to meet you, Miss—"
"Just Kikki Lane." Kagome said dazzlingly, "I'm an entertainment specialist."
"Okay, what does an entertainment specialist do, if I may ask?" Kouga groaned as Miroku leaned forward looking so absorbed in Kagome's answer.
"Entertain," Kagome furrowed her brows, "Specially."
"Continue."
She silently cursed herself, cringing as she continued, "I think of all this special stuff to entertain you and it's really, really neat."
Just grab the goddamn badge and run. Don't continue to put yourself in these situations. Kagome thought to herself as she continued nodding. She let her stance shifted; glancing over Kouga who looked unimpressed, glazing over her products that she was selling. Even she had to cringe at the ridiculous price that she was bidding the items at but it wasn't like they were really selling it. It was just a coy to get inside of Kouga's mansion.
Kagome began reciting the plan over in her head again. Get inside of Kouga's mansion, check. Grab the badge—Kagome looked over Kouga again who had his arms folded over his chest, covering the badge completely. She swallowed hardly; grabbing the badge was seemingly a bigger difficulty than anybody predicted.
Plan B.
"Listen," Kagome popped down on the couch beside Kouga, "I don't know anything about an entertainment specialist. My boyfriend sent me out here to con you into buying stuff and I couldn't say no because—" Because why… think, think, think… "He said he would kill me if I did not and usually he's not that abusive or blunt about trying to kill me but lately--, well actually he ran out of his schizophrenic medicine and he thinks I'm out to get HIM and, I can't turn him into the police because he's crazy and he's not in his right—"
"Okay, okay, okay." Kouga broke in, "Jeez, what do you want?"
"Just a thousand yen to satisfy him."
Kouga snapped his fingers, bringing both Ginta and Hakkaku into the room. Twiddling her fingers, Kagome sat patiently. Plan B was working better than she predicted. Maybe she should've stuck with Plan B to begin with, now that she thought about it Plan A was stupid. Unless she was going to dodge into Kouga's lap, grab the badge and run like hell, Plan A was not going to work.
The money was shoved into her hands, leaving her breathless. One step closer to—Kagome pounced into Kouga's arms, slipping one of her hands into his overcoat pocket, grabbing the badge. She smiled as Kouga pushed her away, bringing the badge behind her back.
"You don't know how much this means to me!" Kagome squealed, "Now I get to live a whole another day! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!"
"Pah, whatever." Kouga said as Kagome hugged him again, "Don't touch me!"
"Thank you!" Kagome said ignoring Kouga and pulling Miroku into a hug, "And thank you too, sir! Bye!"
Kagome scampered off, taking the briefcase with her. Once she was out of their sight, Kagome clipped the badge to her briefcase as she stepped out of Kouga's mansion. Hah, she didn't have to result to Plan C which involved both Kagome and Sango stripping, wearing their hot pink and azure undergarments.
The door slammed behind her once she stepped into the streets, waiting for the black car that ushered her here to arrive once again. She glanced behind her to make sure that nobody seen her come in and out of the car. Once she was sure the coast was clear, Kagome stepped inside of the car, greeted with both Kagura and Sango's faces.
"I told you I didn't have to result to Plan C." Kagome said smugly.
"Did you get the badge?" Kagura asked, ignoring Kagome completely.
"Of course, I got the badge." Kagome replied, "You know I meant what I said, I'll do anything for a promotion."
"Good." Kagura said, "Then you wouldn't mind going to Sesshoumaru's art gallery opening and to work, you missed close to a week. You're going to get fired."
Kagome's face fell, "That means that I'll have to—"
"Yes. I know and please don't say anything embarrassing like 'Super Kagome' again. The team is watching."
Not this again.
"Oh." Kagura said, glancing over the badge, "And don't forget, after the gallery opening, you must return back to the hotel with Inuyasha. You don't want him to get the wrong idea--"
"I refuse to have sex with him." Kagome grumbled.
Kagura gasped in pretense surprise, "What do you take me for?"
"A whole lot of…" Sango broke in.
"Give credit where it's due. Not once have you slept with Inuyasha. I always page you before you have to." Kagura giggled uncontrollably.
"There have been a lot of close calls." Kagome remembered softly, "So many I lost count."
"I know. Oh we're here." Kagura interrupted, "Don't enjoy yourself too much."
"I rather die." Kagome sputtered uncharacteristically.
"I know, honey, but not today."
"His badge is missing?" Inuyasha questioned, raising his eyebrows quizzically.
That's probably the dumbest thing he has heard all day. Who was dumb enough to serve Naraku and lose the badge? It was probably one of the most important things that they were given. Actually to be honest, it was one of the dumbest things he has heard all day. He was too embarrassed for Kagome to repeat what she said in the bedroom 'Super Kagome', now what the hell was she thinking?
"Yes!" Miroku whispered, "One minute he had it and next minute it was gone! I don't know what happened to it."
"He probably misplaced it." Inuyasha replied, glancing around.
It was a nice place that Sesshoumaru was opening; the art hung on the walls and sometimes dangled from the ceiling, downplaying wonderfully how great art was. It was exactly what Naraku wanted to begin taking over the world, little by little and they were succeeding magnificently. Even Inuyasha couldn't believe how much of Tokyo they already owned. All from the help of the little jewel they liked to call the Shikon Jewel. What a miracle.
"Hopefully. Naraku would—"
"Hello boys!"
Inuyasha looked over Miroku's shoulder, meeting the eyes of Kagome. He smiled graciously, even if Kagome didn't have a single working brain cell, she still made his friend envious. Kagome smiled softly at Miroku before making her way towards Inuyasha, wrapping her arm around his waist.
"Kagome, you look great." Miroku commented.
"Wow! Thanks, I just bought this at this one place and it was like the most beautiful place I've ever seen and then I was like—"
"Kagome." Inuyasha interrupted, glazing at Miroku's amused face, "Remember what we talked about again?"
"Oh." Kagome said before she nodded, "its nice seeing you, Miroku."
"Good job." Inuyasha mumbled to Kagome as they began walking away.
Inuyasha scanned the room for Naraku who was standing beside Sesshoumaru, who was explaining some of his artwork of choice. It was all a ploy. Nobody knew that Kouga Haiti, Miroku Houshi, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru Taisho were both employed by Naraku. The very thought of that was embarrassing but Naraku was one of the strongest men in Japan. They had to obey him. It wasn't their choice of work but hey, it paid well, even though they had to take businesses out by either blowing the building up or killing the owner. It resulted in one of the four boys owning the business, which resulted in all four of them becoming powerful business men underneath Naraku of course.
Inuyasha shook his head.
"Move it or lose it, dogface." Inuyasha was pushed aside as Kouga grasped the hand of Kagome, who was blinking profoundly, "Have anybody ever said how beautiful you are?"
"Lots of times." Kagome answered.
Poor girl. She's so dense; she probably doesn't know that she's being hit on. Inuyasha thought smugly.
"You are the most beautiful woman, I've ever seen. What you are doing with that mutt, anyway?"
"I don't know. I mean, we met up here and I saw him and I guess that's what I'm—wait what was the question again?" Kagome asked confused.
"It doesn't matter that you're short of a few brain cells. I want you to become my woman anyways."
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, staring up at Inuyasha.
"Yeah, I'll take care of this." Inuyasha said brushing Kagome aside, "She's mine. Now back off."
"Aren't you married?" Kouga countered.
"Fuck you!" Inuyasha spat.
"That's right. You talk the talk but don't—"
"Shut up!" Inuyasha said slamming his fist into Kouga's face.
"I can't believe you fucking touch the face! You sonuvabitch!" Kouga snarled, pouncing onto Inuyasha, letting punches flow to Inuyasha's chest.
Inuyasha eased his body from under Kouga, snapping his leg up into Kouga's face, "Don't you dare talk about my mother!"
"Your mother was a whore, who got herself pregnant by a lesser youkai who was your father!" Kouga teased, grabbing Inuyasha's face, headbutting it.
"BOYS!" Naraku said, coming between them, "What happened?"
Inuyasha glanced underneath his eyelids at Kagome, who was seemingly glowering. What? Were her eyes upon Naraku? Inuyasha shook the thought out of his mind. She couldn't hurt a fly. At least she probably didn't know how to because she was so—
"He was hitting on my girlfriend!" Inuyasha snapped.
"He's married!" Kouga commented, "He can't keep all the girls to himself."
"Kouga, even though he is married, it is his choice to cheat on his wife. Isn't that right, Inuyasha?"
"Keh."
"And then what happened, Kouga?" Naraku asked.
"Then he touched my face! He fucking punched it!" Kouga recited as if it was the most horrendous thing to ever happen to him, touching his face in the process.
"Inuyasha, you know how he is with his face." Naraku said softly, "Why did you touch it?"
"Because he's an ugly bastard!" Inuyasha spat as Kouga fumed, lunging towards Inuyasha but stopped immediately.
"You're an ugly bastard!" Kouga countered.
"Your momma was an ugly bastard!"
"Boys," Naraku warned, "How about we settle this in the back? Kagome, I'm sorry you had to witness this."
"Of course." Kagome said dryly but then began coughing uncontrollably, "No problem! I hope you don't hurt my Fluffy Ears too much."
"Fluffy Ears?" Naraku questioned once they were out of earshot.
"Don't even ask." Inuyasha said as the backdoor slid open.
He cringed wondering what was going to happen to them. Naraku didn't take fighting lightly. Actually, he did but usually Kouga and Inuyasha didn't fight in the public eye. If he didn't have the balls to hit on his girlfriend then maybe Inuyasha wouldn't have punched him. It wasn't like he started it first. If Kouga didn't commented on how—
Inuyasha followed Naraku inside the pasty white hallways, which lead directly to one of his many offices. Inuyasha glanced at Kouga who scoffed annoyingly. Once they got out of Naraku's sight, he was going to pound that flea bitten wolf to the ground.
Another door slid open, revealing Naraku's headquarters; Inuyasha breathed hesitantly as they were waved to sit down. They both slowly sat down to their seats, pulling their chairs away from each other once they were seated.
"I bet you're wondering why you're here." Naraku said slowly, "You remember what I said about Kikyou—"
"Not really." Inuyasha said boredly, flicking at his talons.
"Don't worry I forgot too," Naraku winked as Inuyasha groaned, watching an image flicker behind Naraku, "Until I realized she was getting in the way. Once again."
"I thought the bomb scare was supposed to, you know—"
"Scare her?" Naraku interrupted.
"Yeah, that." Kouga said, "Obviously that didn't work."
"Yeah, well, it did for a while." Naraku defended himself as he stood up, "And then, she decided to put her nose in places that it didn't belong. Nosey bitch. So I decided that we need to take care of her. Inuyasha, you don't mind do you?"
"That you take care of my wife?" Inuyasha asked, as he leaned against his chair, "By all means, please."
"Good. She was always a troubling one but anyway, I have a plan." Naraku said.
"Hopefully this isn't one of your many half baked plans. I'm getting tired of following those through." Kouga mumbled.
"It's not, Kouga. I promise you." Naraku said as he stared Inuyasha in the eyes, "Kagome."
I can't believe you guys actually thought that was Kagome's actual intelligence. That's harsh. Anyway, I still don't own the characters but I do own this plot.
