Ch: 2

Inuyasha drove up to the local police station. He parked the car and climbed out, walking to the trailer that they were dragging the chimera on. He yelled for Shippou to help him carry the massive crate into the station.

Kanako, Kira, and Kagome watched the boys struggle to carry it. "Should we help?"

" Almost there" Inuyasha said.

At the count of three they droppecd the heavy load on the floor. It made a rather loud crasing noise.

"Well, good try..." Kagome watched them, eyes full of laughter.

Kanako sighed and walked over to help Inuyasha and Shippou carry the crate through the station and down into a "RESTRICTED" area.

"We got the target." Kagome stated, suddenly very serious.

A police oficer walked up to them and thanked them for the delivery.

" Arn't you going to pay us now?" Kira asked.

The police officer handed Kira a bundle of money and turned to leave. "Wait."

Inuyasha ran to catch up with the officer. "Can I talk with you for a second... I need to know some stuff about our 'jobs'". Inuyasha and the police officer dissapeared into the shadows.

The rest paciently waited half asleep for Inuyasha to return. When he finally did... They interigated him about his conversation with the officer. There were questions like " Why did you want to go talk to them?" And "Did they say what you thought they would?" And wheather or not they would have to quit their jobs."

Inuyasha's eye twitched as he was attacked by the plauge of questions. "Damnit! Shut up and I'll tell you!"

Every one was silent and waited for him to say something.

"All I asked was where all these stupid things were coming from, and when we would start going after real criminals..not some rampaging animal. They said as soon as they stop breeding...which is bad news for us, because with all these animals, criminals are harder to come by, and we don't get paid as much."

" Okay then. Are our jobs still safe?" Kira asked cautiously.

" He said shut up" kagome responded. "Let him finish"

"Yeah, they're safe, but thats not so great...because we have to do three times as many jobs to get the pay we need to keep going."

Kanako stood back thinking over things.

" Kira? By the way... How much money did we make off of this job?" Shippou asked as he saw her unraveling the bills and counting them.

" Only 2500. I would have expected more from a creature like that. We need to go for the most wanted higher paid animals next time." Kira responded.

"There are so many of them, stations can't afford to pay the normal price...things are getting bad for us." Kanako stated.

"Yeah I guess your right."

"Well, we need to do something about all these chimeras...lets do some research." Shippou offered.

"Good idea." Kagome praised shippou for his good thinking.

"Guys we need to pick up the pace a bit in the mean time before they start piling two or three jobs on us a day." Inuyasha said.

"No. We're set for at least a week. I think we should use this time to clean up a bit, and do research like Shippou said." Kanako glared at every one with eyes that said "dissagree and die".

"We should also use this time to do some more training!" Kira said. The only thing that was ever on her mind was how to defeat quick without killing.

"Okay. In the mean time, i'm going to work a second job. Just in case. It will only be nights, so I can still help during the day." Kanako's idea was accepted.

" Wait a minute... Thats actually a good idea. Half of us should get jobs while the others train and reaserch." Kira said exitedly.

"Okay...well then, let me make a suggestion...me, Kira, and Shippou should get jobs..."

" Shouldn't Shippou stay? HE was the one who proposed reaserch in the first place."

"Well, with the kind of job I was thinking about...it seems like we would work the best." Kanako slightly hesitated.

"Okay... I guess you are kindof like our leader anyways so what ever floats your boat goes."

"yeah...because I don't think Kagome's mate will appreciate her working with us... strip clubs aren't exactly for mated people."

" Shippou in a strip club? O well... Do a good job with reasearch Kagome and Inuyasha."

The group left the station and headed for home. The drive was silent and tense, like something bad was about to happen.

When they arrived home, there was another car in the driveway.
