Chapter VI: Mice and Men

She was dangerous; there was no doubt about it. There was nothing more dangerous than somebody who has been able to get up close and personal without anybody realizing it. She probably had many documents about their plan to use the Shikon Jewel as a mind control substance through men products to make themselves the strongest in the world.

She was far too dangerous to even be trusted. How much did she know if she was posing as his dumb mistress and psychotic wife? That was the most frightening part of all; he had no clue what she could do but all he knew that there was much more than she was letting on. He could tell by the way Miroku was looking that he was frightened, not of what she could do but what information she had or could have.

Especially if she was posing as his mistress, if she was just posing as Kikyou, he wouldn't have minded but there was some stuff he told her because he thought her comprehension skills was of a third grader and that she wouldn't understand him anyway. God, he was so stupid! He told her about his assignments and—he closed his eyes, and about how Miroku, Kouga and himself were supposed to meet up and how Kouga had a tendency to forget about his badge…

His eyes flared, "That's why you stole the badge from Kouga!"

She smiled, she didn't even look bothered that there was a gun pointed at her and that she was tied up. She looked absolutely invincible, "Why is that, Inuyasha?"

"Because Kouga can't remember to bring his gun on assignments."

"And now we have access to your building. Now, all I need to know is why you want to kill Kikyou."

"Why?" Miroku piped up.

"Glad that you're alive, Miroku."

"Why?" Miroku repeated.

She shrugged, "Because I have a feeling that you're being set up."

Inuyasha felt his chest tightened. He casually glanced up gracing the young girl with a frown. She certainly knew how to play her cards right, however taught her, they taught her right.

"Your little games are becoming old. Why would you care whether or not we're being set up? We're killing Kikyou because she knows too much."

"Or maybe you know too much, damn my nose itches." Kagome wiggled her nose, "Yeah, you guys obviously know too much. Why is Naraku so careful not to tell you his exact plans? Why does Naraku need me? I'll tell you because I am the only person that can get close to you without either of you knowing it. Kikyou probably doesn't want to kill you because it's too messy and Naraku never does anything for him—"

Miroku snorted, "Lies. All of them. You're really good, Miss Kagome."

"It's Kagome Higurashi and the reason why I know all of this because before all of this, before I became an agent for Sesshomaru and began working under Kagura, Naraku contacted me and trained me. Of course, he expected me to exterminate and determine the mice from the men while I only wanted to become a threat to him. So you see, I really am dangerous, and not only dangerous, I received the same training and probably more from your agent." Kagome began rubbing her hands together before freeing them at last, "And now, I am even a bigger threat to you, I am untied."

"We have guns." Miroku retorted.

Kagome chuckled, "Whatever you have I have better, whatever you can do I can do better. You are no match for me."

"God this sounds like a horrible hero movie."

"It only sounds horrible because it's true." Kagome kicked the gun out of Miroku's hands and flipped it towards her, into her hands, "Do you want to continue this because I can go all day. Besides, we're approaching Naraku's building, if you're good, I'll allow you to tie me up again and I'll pretend to be a moron, and you can pretend that you know nothing about this and I can save your asses. Or, if you want to continue being difficult, I'll just kick your asses, throw you out of this car and make you the number one target of Naraku's. Your choice, not mine."

"These choices suck." Inuyasha mumbled.

"Welcome to life." Kagome smiled, knowing she won.


Dumb cunt faced bitch, Kikyou swore, tapping her french manicured nails against the desk. She was impatient and Kagome was taking a long time pretending to be her. All she needed was the list to where the male products are being disputed to for she can 'email' it and start what they should've started a long time ago.

"Kikyou."

A tall figure sat calmly in front of her, she blinked suddenly, before she calmly continued tapping.

"Sir?"

"Did she find the list?"

"I have no idea." Kikyou rolled her eyes, "The little bitch has yet to return."

"You do realize that I want you to leave Kagome out of this. You can kill the other human. She's the one human I want alive after this, got that?" He stood up, walking towards the door before Kikyou stopped him.

"What about me?"

"You can die as well." With that he disappeared from the building.

What was so special about that bitch anyway? Other than the fact—

"Kikyou, get down here! They caught her!"


The first thing she noticed was the building looked exactly similar to Sesshomaru's building across town and the fact that Jaken was hyperventilating as he was leading them towards Naraku. Of course, it didn't fail to surprise her that Jaken was a traitorous toad; he did seem to value his life more than he valued loyalty.

Yet, that thought didn't help to unnerve her. Her heart was hammering in her chest as Inuyasha was dragging her along with him. She sighed, flicking her head to make those strands of hair to get out of her way.

"I'm glad you could make it, Inuyasha and Miroku… and how lovely a guest, Jaken, you know what do with her."

"Oh hell no, I am not going to be dragged by that hideous toad."

Naraku nodded anyway as Jaken snapped his fingers, making appear a few bulkier men who carried her out of the room. God, she wanted to hear what Naraku was talking about. Maybe her suspicions weren't right—maybe… suddenly she was dropped onto the floor of a dark cold room. Kagome shivered as the door was closed behind her, making all visible light disappear.

She shivered; she was only in a nightgown, dammit. Couldn't they just hand her a fucking jacket? How hard would've that be—

"Kagome, I see that you've made it."

"Kikyou." Kagome gasped, but—why?

"How's my darling husband?"

"What is it to you?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe it matters to me because you're in love with him or because somebody cares about you."

"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked, as Kikyou swiped a match across the walls.

"Ask Sesshomaru. Here."

Kagome gaped at the paper, "Another assignment."

"Get on it, skippy."

Kikyou slid open a secret passageway, revealing lights. She smiled humorlessly as Kagome walked into it, making the door close behind her.

"Bitch." Kagome muttered, she then gasped as she read the paper, "Kagura?"


Almost six months. Whoa. I know long time. Can you believe it? I think I'm updating! Merry Christmas! Of course, there's always a rat somewhere.
