Fwoom~

Thunk~

"Mother fucker!"

"Nope, not last night!"

Bam!

Crack!

Zing!

"Enough. You can stop now."

Four people came to an immediate halt. Each breathing heavily.

"Whoa, so that's what a supernatural battle looks like?"

"Yes."

"Broker Milliardo, is she related to Lady Midoriko?"

"Yes, both of those two are."

"Who is this Lady Midoriko?"

All eyes, including those in the arena, turned to look at the person who'd asked the question.

"Lord Sesshomaru? Why are two of your agents asking this?"

"Pfft!"

Kagome couldn't help herself; She was exhausted. Not from depletion but being out of shape and wielding more of her HoRiki than before.

"Lady Miko Higurashi!"

"Kagome!"

"Miss Higurashi!"

Slapping her hands over her mouth, Kagome looked at everyone. When she met Duo's gaze, Kagome saw the glint of mischief. Instantly she knew he'd asked on purpose.

"I'll deal with Kagome later," Sesshomaru said. "As for your inquiry Agent Maxwell, you should already know as you and Agent Yuy hacked our database before I accepted you into the bureau."

The lazy, smug smile that curled Duo's lips said it all. Taking a peek at Heero, Kagome saw his eyes reflect Duo's smile. These two were definitely a different breed from other normal humans.

"They what!?"

"Yes, Mr. Maxwell, in particular, was very intent on joining," Sesshomaru explained. "Milliardo, they are exceptional. Their mental and physical abilities far exceed normal humans. However, they lack in both the EQ and Spiritual departments. Which is why I assigned them to Miss Higurashi."

At the sour look on Duo's face and the irritated fluctuation on Heero's aura, Kagome knew Sesshomaru had spoken as such on purpose.

"Well, a balanced team that was able to do what they did is good," Relena said. "But back to the matter at hand. The difference between Miko Kikyo and Miko Kagome is impressive. Agent Sango, Monk Miroku, your assessment, please."

Kagome stiffened and focused. She'd been doing these training matches for three weeks. And they'd been nothing but drama filled after Kikyo and InuYasha found out.

They'd been debriefed since they'd be part of the strike squad for the upcoming raid operation. Miasma had become more active after their base was blown up.

InuYasha had gotten in her face accusing her of trying to take all the glory. Then said she was jealous of Kikyo, and he had been blind to how petty she could be.

She had had enough. She'd sat him, only to make InuYasha go through seven floors. It horrified her the amount of power she'd unintentionally used.

Then Kikyo claimed Kagome had to have performed a dark ritual. To which Kagome did not need to respond as Secretary Dorthy Catalina had overhead. The woman was a force to be reckoned with once the debriefing and truth were revealed about herself.

And Kagome would not lie if asked that she felt good seeing Kikyo take down a few pegs. Same with InuYasha.

They were more or less put on probation due to their attitudes.

"In summary of the past few weeks, Miko Kagome's abilities and powers have stabilized and will be an asset on the upcoming raid mission," Sango stated.

"I agree. Kagome lacks physical stamina. So I suggest until a week before the mission commences, Miko Kagome trains with both her teammates and another agent. Be it human or demon in the agency, Secretary of Defense," Miroku said.

Kagome had the urge to strangle him to wipe the smile from his face. The ass was also implying other things to rile InuYasha.

"I agree. Kagome hand to hand, firearms, and stealth all need work," Sesshomaru agreed.

Twitching, Kagome glared at him, her boss. The fact that he tacitly agreed while smirking meant he also thought the 'extracurricular training' Miroku subtly suggested was needed.

Kagome looked at Heero and Duo; it was clear at least one of them understood what was being hinted at. And how a pair of purple eyes darkened let Kagome know he was more than willing. Duo had been open about his attraction to her and his sexual orientation.

To him, love and pleasure were the same. Male or female.

Groaning, Kagome rolled her eyes and turned and left the training area. She was done and did not feel ready to get into a relationship outside of friendship and the workplace norm.

TBC!
