Chapter 4

Not Her! The Other One…

"Alright, tell me everything about Naraku." Sesshomaru ordered. It was only Kohaku and Sesshomaru at a table in a restaurant.

"He is just as fierce as he looks. Everyday, he arrives at the hotel exactly at noon. He greets his workers friendly. He knows everything about them. Then he goes and has lunch in this same restaurant with his girlfriend at 1. He goes upstairs and doesn't come down until 3. Once he's down there, he looks from the steps at his casino. His head of security meets him on the landing—" Kohaku explains. But right after he mentioned Naraku's head of security, Sesshomaru held up his hand to stop him.

"Kanna found information about the head of security. I believe it is a woman this time?" he asked.

"That's correct. Her name is Kagome Higarashi." Kohaku replied. "She is the only other one who has access to the vault."

"Go on."

"Anyway, Kagome and Naraku spend their time talking for only ten minutes before Naraku goes and greets all the high players. He is fluent in Japanese, English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French. Oh! I also forgot to add this. When Kagome and Naraku are talking, she hands over a small black binder that contains all the security codes and reports about the casino." Kohaku added.

"Good job. Oh, by the way, what is the name of Naraku's girlfriend?" Sesshomaru asked.

Kohaku cleared his throat. "Well, go see for yourself." He nodded over to a table where a girl with long black hair and brown eyes sits down. She is wearing a white dress decorated with red flowers and her hair is tied in a white ribbon."

"Kikyo Priestess."

"Who?"

"That girl is Kikyo Priestess. She is Inuyasha's ex-girlfriend. They broke up on bad terms because Inuyasha was thief and a liar." Sesshomaru explained.

"This was after we pulled our last job right?"

"Correct. This must have been why Inuyasha wanted to rob Naraku Onigumo's casino." Sesshomaru's gold eyes watched as Naraku approached his girlfriend. They shared a kiss for a moment before sitting down for lunch.

"We need to talk." Sesshomaru ordered.

Inuyasha set down his pencil and looked up from the layout map of the casino. "Can I just finish what I'm doing here first?"

"NOW!"

"Fine! What the hell do you want?" Inuyasha asked. He looked up at his older brother.

"So this is why you wanted to rob Naraku Onigumo of his fortune. You want Kikyo back." Sesshomaru accused.

Kagura and Kanna were in the room looking over the casino floors when they hear this. "Kikyo? You want Kikyo back? Do you remember the last time you guys were together?" Kagura asked.

"You got that all wrong Sesshomaru. I don't want Kikyo back." Inuyasha protested.

"Oh really? Then how come you want to rob her boyfriend? Are you that jealous that he got the girl you once had!"

"Like I said before, I don't want Kikyo." Inuyasha replied. He walked over to Kanna's computer and brought up a screen that had the profile of a woman. She had long black hair and brown eyes. She looked very similar to Kikyo. "I want her." Sesshomaru stared at the screen of the computer.

"That's-!"

"Kagome Higarashi, Kikyo's best friend and cousin."

"So what do I need to do to these cars?" Miroku asked.

"We need to get rid of these unnecessary car parts to make the Solaras run faster." Sango replied.

"We're not going to blow them up afterwards?" Shippo asked, obviously disappointed.

"No. We can't leave any evidence behind or else we will be in deep shit later." Sango answered.

"Let's get to work now." Koga said. He walked over to his car and opened the lid.

"Alright. No one else is operating my car except for me. Got it?" Sango answered as she jumped off her seat. She walked over to her silver Solara.

"Of course honey. We know how much you love your car more than your own husband." Miroku replied.

"Shut up."

Kikyo and Kagome sat down in their chairs at the restaurant. Both cousins were close and on good terms. When they looked at each other, it was like looking through a mirror. "So how is working here turning out, Kagome?" Kikyo asked pleasantly.

"It's great. Everyone here is very nice." Kagome replied. She smiled.

"I told you it would be great here. It's a good thing I mentioned you to Naraku. He probably wouldn't have taken anyone else since his last Head of Security cheated him out of millions of dollars." Kikyo replied.

"Yeah. Afterwards, Naraku ended dup getting back the money because he took it back from that guy. And Naraku got a little more when he bankrupted the man's family and his son's business." Kagome added. She laughed a little. Kagome reached over and took a sip of her ice tea.

"Oh yeah. That sounds like Naraku alright." Said a voice. Kikyo and Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha standing over their table. Kikyo's eyes narrowed as she gave the dirtiest look to her ex-boyfriend.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she demanded. "Aren't you supposed to be in prison?"

"What's the matter Kikyo? I am out of prison now. Does that scare you so much?" Inuyasha shot back. He took a seat at the table.

"No! Don't sit here!" Kikyo protested. The hanyou paid no attention. He glanced at Kagome with interest.

"Who is the lovely lady?" he asked in his smoothest voice.

"I'm Kagome Higarashi, Head of Security for the Sengoku Spider. I am also Kikyo's cousin." Kagome replied. "And you are…?"

"Inuyasha Taisho." Inuyasha introduced. The two shook hands.

"He is also my ex-boyfriend." Kikyo said through gritted teeth. She clenched her fists together.

"But I also broke up with you because you are such a bitch." Inuyasha insulted. Kagome sweat dropped.

"Excuse me? I broke up with you because you were a—"

"I no longer do that." He cut in swiftly. "I now enjoy traveling the world."

"Oh? What places have you been to?" Kagome asked.

"Well, I have been to Italy, Australia, France, England, and a whole more. Very interesting I must tell you."

"Really? I'm rather interested in visiting places like that. Tell me, what is it like in England?" Kagome smiled at Inuyasha.

"Very nice. The buildings look old, but they are very beautiful." Inuyasha explained. Kikyo was starting to clench and unclench her fists now. She looked like she wanted to go into a flying fit.

"Why are you doing this?" Kikyo asked her former boyfriend.

"And who are you?" another voice questioned. Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome looked up to find Naraku Onigumo. He has long black hair and gleaming red purplish eyes.

"I am Inuyasha Taisho. And I am doing this because I just saw my ex girlfriend here and just wanted to say a little hello." Inuyasha replied.

"Naraku Onigumo. I am the owner of this casino." Naraku answered stiffly. Both men exchanged hard glances and shook each other's hands.

"Well, I must get going now." The hanyou said. "Good seeing you Kikyo."

"Likewise." Kikyo put on a sweet face but her eyes were as hard as stone.

"Nice meeting you Ms. Higarashi."

"Nice meeting you too Inuyasha. And please, call me Kagome." Kagome smiled at the hanyou. Inuyasha left the restaurant.

"What are you doing here Naraku?" Kikyo asked her boyfriend. Naraku sat down where Inuyasha once was.

"Well, I just thought I would have lunch with my Head of Security and my lovely girlfriend." Naraku said smoothly. He kissed Kikyo's cheek.

"Oh, that's so sweet." Kagome cooed. She grinned at her older cousin. "Well, I have to go check up on how the place is going. Naraku, I'll see you at 3." She also left the place when she did, she saw Inuyasha leaning on a wall, waiting for her.

"Kagome, please come with me." Inuyasha ordered.
