Wh00t! Okay, a not here. Of course, I'm sure you've all noticed here that inner ego has a huge part throughout this story. Sometimes it's funny and at other times it's helpful. Know that the inner egos will never leave the story! It helps the characters solve problems and creates a new veiw on things. Anyway, on with it!
'I feel so helpless.'
'You're acting weak. You have more power than this.'
'I can't help it. I'm so scared…'
'You're not a baby. Take matters into your own hands, use what you've learned.'
'I can't. My mind is blank. I can only hear you. Besides, they have guns…'
'You're just going to sit here and wait for them to kill you?'
'I have no other choice…'
'So, you're going to help them murder your own sister?'
'No…'
'Then escape.'
Kohaku opened his eyes. The room was still as dark as it had always been. He blinked a few times to make sure his eyelids were open before moving his hands around the floor, only to feel cold, hard tile. She brought his hands up to feel for the wall and when he found them, quickly stood up.
He had to get out. But how? There were no windows and the only way out was the door, which was most likely, locked. And even if he managed to get out, he knew people would be after him. He had to think about his plan before taking action.
'Well, I'm sure I'll be in here a while…might as well use that time to think instead of sulk.'
So, he did.
Miroku sighed, plopping himself in a rather uncomfortable seat and glanced at Kouga who was pacing around the room. "Er…What's the matter?"
Kouga shook his head. "Nothing.."
His companion just rolled his eyes. "Something's on your mind. Tell me or prepare to feel my wrath…" Miroku warned.
Kouga raised his eyebrows at him. "Feel your wrath? Oh, that's a new one…" He sighed and sat on the small sofa across from him. "It's a personal problem, nothing you need to know about." He mumbled in response, seeming rather angry.
Still, he was not satisfied, but decided to keep it at that.
"I saw your chick today."
"My chick? She has a name you know. Say it with me, Ssss-a-nnnn-g-o…"
"Shut up."
Miroku shrugged. "Okay, what about her?"
"I was wondering when you were going to tell her about your whole…career."
Miroku blinked. "I WAS going to do it but right before I said anything her fiancé' called." Suddenly, he didn't want to talk anymore.
It was strange…How he left her for so long and when he finally came back, she was taken and a dark cloud of jealousy immediately appeared over his head. It was like he expected someone like her to be available forever until he came back for her, he was obviously wrong.
Miroku didn't know much about Leon. The only things he knew were his whereabouts and financial issues. If he would have known the man was getting married to Sango, he would have just left them alone, even if it did end up breaking his heart. Maybe that is what he would have to do now?
But before he even thought about that he'd have to take care of two things. One, was Naraku. How the hell was he supposed to wriggle from such a big assignment? There was no way. He would be too suspicious and probably end up trying to hurt Sango.
'What does that matter? He already wants her dead…and to make matters worse, he wants you to kill her. Even if you refused, he would do it himself. Either way, it's a lose, lose situation. We are literally screwed man…'
He sighed. The second was Leon. He'd have to meet the guy and make sure he'd treat Sango right.
'Because if he EVER hurts her or breaks her heart, I'll definitely have no problem blowing his brains out…'
'Jealous…. I laugh.'
'Shut up. You're me, you care for her too.'
Kouga blinked and watched his partner. It seemed like he was battling with himself over something.
"Hey!"
"Huh?" He finally looked up again. "What? What did you say?"
Kouga sighed. "We were talking about Sango and her fiancé. When are you going to tell her? You need to do it quickly if you want to go away and live your fantasy of 'running away together'." He rolled his eyes when he described the fantasy. He thought it rather stupid to even dream of such things like a happy ending cause in reality, nothing ended happy. Everything in reality ended in death and depression. Always.
"Well…I was thinking about doing it the next time I see her but I have no idea when that'll be if ever again."
"Why don't you talk to her at that…ball thingy?"
"What ball thingy?"
"That stupid party Naraku is holding for rich people. Leon and his family are invited for money reasons and for less suspicion on his futureaccident. And I bet he'll bring Sango along. You could talk to her and just tell Naraku you're working on the assignment."
Miroku looked down, as if trying to hide something. "What? What's wrong now?"
"It's just…Naraku wants me to kill Sango as well…..I think it's because he knows she's in the way of things that have to do with me. I don't know how to get out if it. The only thing I could think about is to-"
"Kill him." Kouga finished.
Miroku blinked and looked at Kouga strangely. "Have you been…thinking about that…?"
"Yea, for a while now."
There was a small pause before-
"KOUGA! ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! YOU CAN'T-!"
While Miroku ranted on, trying to lecture about 'what a stupid thing that is to do' he just sighed.
'He doesn't even let me explain. He reminds me of my mother…'
"AND WITH THE GUNS, AND, AND GAURDS! AND NOT TO MENTION THE-"
Kouga looked at him with a raised eyebrow and actually shot his gun in the air, making the man shut up.
"You don't need to yell."
"You just blew a hole in the ceiling!"
"Yea, that's your fault. Now listen."
Miroku looked at Kouga, giving him his full attention.
"Believe it or not, I trust you Miroku. So, I'm sure this won't come that big of a shock to you if you try to understand."
Miroku raised an eyebrow.
Kouga calmly told Miroku one of Kouga's biggest secrets, hoping his partner would not go ballistic.
"WHAT!"
'This is going to take a while…'
'Just shoot him in the head. See if that'll shut him the hell up for five minutes.'
'Heh.'
Leon smiled as he saw Sango get out of her car. Every time he looked at her, he was always reminded of her beauty. He loved her so much. When she saw his happy smile, she smiled back and quickly made her way to him for a warm embrace.
"Thanks for coming. I know you were just about to go home and everything but-"
"I know, it's okay. Besides, I've been meaning to say hi to him lately."
They were at the hospital. Leon's father, Makoto, was getting sicker every passing day and was not going to last much longer, a month in a half at the most.
Makoto did not like Sango all that much. His reasons were hidden but it was fairly visible that he was not fond of her at all. No one in Leon's family understood why. They all thought Sango was a sweet woman, smart, athletic, beautiful, and fun. They thought she was Leon's perfect match. But Makoto seemed to almost hate her.
"Now, you know, he might not really….want to see me Leon…"
"It's fine. I've been talking to him lately. He knows how much you mean to me…"
Somehow, even those sweet words made her frown. What was up with this sudden guilt? Was it because she wasn't going to tell Leon about Miroku? But Miroku wasn't even part of her life anymore! Just an old memory trying to resurface and drag her down. Maybe she should tell him…just so she could safely sleep at night.
She quickly plastered a fake smile on her face. "You mean a lot to me too…"
He took her hand and led her through the doors.
Kagura sat in a desk dressed in a fairly short red dress business suit. She was getting bored and sick of Naraku's hidden reason. She had asked him about the boy, Kohaku, and what he would be used for. None of the pieces fit together; there were no reasons at all. At least, not that she knew of and he would never tell her one thing. She wished she had enough power within their organization to do what she wanted but asking that of him would be way to much.
It seemed that most of Naraku's lackeys were being forced to work for him either by blackmail or by life threatening situations. Kagura, for example, only worked for him because, according to him, she was owned by him and the fact that he was holding her younger sister hostage for her services.
Kagura was never one to be in this kind of work, not at first. But she was one that was being forced or, her sister would be killed as well as her.
There was one person that had tried to escape that fact before in the past. That man…Onigumo, tried to leave the embassy about two years ago but he didn't get very far. Naraku had no heart at all. Once Onigumo was caught, Naraku literally tortured the man.
No one knew exactly what he did but when he ordered for the body to be taken away, it was horribly burned and body parts, such as fingers and the man's nose was totally removed. That was one of the first things that made Kagura truly fear her leader. And just to make it worse, Onigumo was actually Naraku's own half brother.
Now, some other poor soul was about to get into her position as well. She thought that Kohaku was a child or sibling of another and tat person was going to have to work for Naraku in order for him to gain freedom as her sister had to.
She sighed and was about to leave when Naraku exited his so called 'office'. He twisted his head to the side and made a disgusting cracking sound.
"I need you to do me a favor…."
"What is it?" Kagura stood up strait and awaited orders, something she hated doing and would for the rest of her forsaken life.
"I have just been informed by my resources that there is a spy among our employees that works for a special police force. This should be a setback if they are to report anything to the wrong people and we can't afford that at the moment. I would like you to find out who it is. Look through files and interrogate some of the newest members so that we may track them down."
Kagura blinked. So, someone actually outsmarted the great Naraku. She wondered who it was and instantly hoped they would hurry up and nail Naraku down. She turned to leave but was stopped by a rather amused voice that almost made her skin crawl.
"Oh and Kagura, if you find out who this person is, do not hesitate to tell me for if you do, I will slit Kana's throat in front of your very eyes..." He smirked.
Kagura closed her eyes tightly only to hear his footsteps behind her. He leaned his head down and kissed the back of her neck and made her shiver.
Naraku was the one who would take advantage of his female workers. He enjoyed their company within his bed and did in fact order some of them in for his pleasure almost every night. Kagura had been a victim of his sick game before and didn't doubt she would again.
But right now, she hoped he wouldn't think of doing such a thing. Even though it was false hope, she didn't want to be his whore at the moment. Not now, and not ever again. But she knew her wish would not come true. She could tell he was interested and aroused.
"But before you do…"
She knew it. This was just going to be another time she would have to do what he wanted. But she wasn't doing it to protect her own life, it was only to protect her sister.
….um…yea, as you've noticed, I'm not going to make Kagura a really bad person in this. Actually, in my opinion, she's really not an evil person in the series either. She just wants freedom…Anyway, It shouldn't be very hard to guess who the secret undercover agent that's working in Naraku's business is, I kinda gave it away. Oh and do you guys think I should rock up the rating on this? Right now, it's PG13 but I dunno if it goes outside those boundaries...Eh…just fill meh in. Until next time…
