Chapter 3: It Begins

Disclaimer: Unfortunatley I do not own Inuyasha

Kagome stormed into her personal office space. Even though it was very rare where she would have emergency code red missions, she always kept a spare pack of clean clothes and supplies in her office. Even though she only came there on weekends, or sometimes in the middle of the night, her room was much lavished, and was suited with state of the arc technology, updated almost every month.

"Betty, run a schedule check. Set in mission code red this date and time. Oh and warn me of any oncoming passers. "

"A hello to you too, Ms. Kagome. How was school today?" the computer asked.

She ignored the device and quickly walked upto the wall that was right behind her desk and said 'open closet'. Instantly right before her a wall slid away to reveal a very large closet that was neatly organized with shelves and racks, mostly to hold her more delicate weapons, and gadgets. She suddenly shot past a couple of panels only to stop infront of a large duffle bag with a backpack hanging next it, along with a very expensive looking purse.

"ummmmmmmm…….I think I got everything. Betty, open the emergency transport shoot routed to the departure base, I got about 3 minutes before we lea-"

"Evil-hanyou is on his way here. Honestly Kagome, why do you two argue so much. Lesson of life rule number 8: never argue with a hot guy to get your way, flirting saves time and energy, that shouldn't be wasted for-"

"I'm sorry Betty but I really don't have the time to explain right now" she said through gritted teeth as she reached to turn the lock on the door, but she was to late. Someone's very fast reflexes got the better of the situation, and all of the sudden before Kagome could even begin to realize what was going on, the door was wide open and Inu-yasha's face was standing about 2 inches from hers. Her breath caught in her throat and it came out kind of choked before she said in a raged voice bringing out all her previous anger,

"What do you want?" she asked in a snobbish tone.

"I only came here too inform you that we're leaving in about two minutes so suit up!"

"I'm already ready. Unfortunately I don't work as slow as you"

Kagome saw Inu-yasha's lips start to curl at the edge of his lips, forming a smirk while his eyes started roaming down.

"What is your pro…." Kagome looked down when it hit her that she wasn't suited up for the jet. Her cheeks were turning various shades of red in a matter of seconds, and it also looked like she was… shaking from the anger she was feeling. She turned to Inu-yasha and gave him a dead on glare. Only one thing popped into her head as she and Inu-yasha stood there 2 inches apart glaring at other, is that she was positive she hated Inu-yasha from the very bottom of her heart.

Inu-yasha loved making Kagome angry sometimes, but this time it wasn't his fault. That chick just had way to many issues according to him, and threw her anger at all the wrong people. Still he kinda felt bad seeing her that way, so he tried to explain.

"Now look Kagome, this was your faul-" he started saying.

Wham! Kagome just about had enough of this chit chat and slammed the door in his face and triple locked it so fast that even his fast reflexes couldn't even stop her.

Kagome backed away from the door and just stared at it. "Why does he bother me soo much. Why can I never just let it go!" she screamed. "ahhhh….Forget him. I'll get him back…and believe me I'll get him good." She screamed a wicked laugh to no one in particular.

"You know Kagome, you should reallllly watch your sugar intake."

"you know……your reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllly lucky your just a super intelligent robot." she said through her teeth.

She quickly put on her suit, grabbed her gear and jumped down the chute. Maybe driving the Jet will help me feel better she thought.

Kagome took off her helmet, with her luggage in tow as she exited the jet.

Inuyasha came out behind her looking ruffled up from every direction.

"Could you have made more of a terrible landing?" he said agitated with one eye twitching.

Kagome put on an evil grin. "Maybe… if I tried." She herd him growl from his throat.

There was a black Lexus RX 350 parked a few feet away. A tall man with shoulder length black hair with a ponytail came out of the car in a black silk shirt, few buttons open at the top and black pants.

Inuyasha started toward the man, but the new guy walked past him and upto Kagome.

He stood in front of her and put on a gleaming smile. Kagome was a little shocked and took a step back as an automatic response to the sudden closeness. He grabbed her hand turned it around and kissed it before Kagome got a chance to pull back.

"Hello. My name is Miroku, and I'd really love it if I had the pleasure of knowing yours in return?" the somewhat handsome yet mysterious man said in a husky and alluring voice.

"Uhhhh. Hello I guess. Aaahnd my name is Higurashi. Kagome Higurashi. Agent 002." She said as she slowly pulled her hand out his grasp. She never had anyone ever in her whole life kiss her hand before. It was weird. But she could tell that this guy wasn't going to harm her. She never met him before but she just knew. On the other hand if it was any other stranger, the man infront of her would be standing infront of her, that's for sure.

"Umm, you do realize I'm only 17 right, and if I wanted I can kick your but right here right now. So I suggest you take a step back."

Miroku started scratching his head with a sweat drop. "Sorry, I guess I just couldn't help it. Hehehehe…" he stated looking embarrassed

Kagome just looked back un-amused with a stoic expression.

"Oh come on? I said I was sorry. Just give me a chance, I'm not such a bad person when you get to know me…" he said sincerely.

Inuyasha had no idea what the hell was going on but whatever it was he didn't like it.

"Miroku you better watch-"

Kagome smiled. "It's okay. I forgive you just…keep your distance." She laughed. "Oh, and can you be a good boy and put the luggage in the car for me pleaaaase" she said as she headed towards the car.

"No problem. It's in the bag. You just stay focused on the mission." Miroku murmured under his breath. He walked over to Kagome's bag and attempted to lift it.

"Uheheheheehh" he shuddered under the weight before he dropped it back down again. Inuyasha grinned and said "Keh" as he shoved Miroku aside, picked up the luggage and walked over to the trunk to put it way. Soon as he shut the trunk he said " What. An . Idiot." Under his breath.

Kagome opened her bedroom door and just fell into the bed. The sun was already up but she was as tired as anything. She had a few hours to sleep before she had to check out the school, so she took it. Since it's her first day, it's not necessary for her to be there first thing in the morning.

"Man. I wonder what this schools going to be like" she wondered out loud right before closing her eyes and going to sleep. She was so tired she dhardly noticed someone open the door just a little bit then slowly walk in. She was about to say something but then all of a sudden her vision blurred and she fell asleep.

Inuyasha walked to her bedside and stared at her sleeping body. Normally Kagome bothered him a lot. Sometimes it wasn't even his fault. But no matter what he felt about her, he vowed to keep her safe. She didn't even look that bad, if she only lost that temper and attitude then maybe…..maybe things would have been different. Inuyasha didn't know much about her past, but he knew that something is bothering her and it has to do with the way she is now. Inuyasha didn't know, why but he felt when kagome laughed or acted like everything was fine, it was all just a facade. She wasn't really happy inside.

"hmmm….." he whispered. Whateverit is it's her problem not his. his job was only to protect her. And with that thought he walked away.

Sango came into Kagome's room and pulled away the drapes from the window revealling the ever glorious rays of the sun shining brightly through the window panes. Kagome started moving and opening her eyes.

"Hello Kagome. My darling niece. You can call me Sango."

"Umm hey." She said instantly up. She was trained to work on a few hours of sleep.

"According to what I've been briefed, you need to be a natural hotshot." She pulled out an outfit from the closet. "What do you think about this?" she said with a cheery tone.

Kagome just stared. "What did I get my self into?" She flopped back down the pillow. "Not again!" her voice came out muffled into the pillow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha waited by the car for kagome. 'What could possibly be taking her this long, how long does it take to-' his thoughts were interrupted by the front door that swung closed. "Okay kagome" he started while opening the front door to the sparkling silver blue BMW Z4 without lifting his head. "You know what to do. Don't present yourself right away; make your self a little mysterious. And don't worry I'll be there watching your back. Make sure you have the vidclip pinned to you shirt and an earpiece. We need all the information we can get. I'll be-"Inuyasha finally stopped fidgeting with the hand held in his hand and looked up at kagome dumbstruck.

"There to protect me. I don't think so; I can take care of myself, thank you very much. Hey what exactly are you looking at." She said sort of frustrated. What's with men always thinking that a woman is always helpless?

Kagome was wearing a forest green tube top with sequins on it, with a mini jean skirt that had a jagged trim to it. She held her denim jean jacket in her hand, along wih her shiny silver hand bag. To top it all off kagome even wore a little bit of eyeliner and blush. In other words, kagome looked like a teen model, advertising a name brand. Inuyasha was still staring.

" What's your problem anyway?" She was starting to get annoyed.

Inuyasha broke out of his slight trance. " My Problem! Are you kidding me…my problem. What's your problem! Its like you found those clothes in the trash. There so small they wouldn't even fit a dog."

"Huh. Oh really. You seem to be okay with it when I see you picking out your girlfriends for the week."

"Hey that's different."

"Oh yeah. In what way? There all skanks and I'm not? Thanks for your concern but no thanks. I don't enjoy looking like this anyways. But for your information I do have to track down and submit information on international drug dealing, acting as a student, and looking like a dork isn't going to get me where I need to be. And by the way, I'm driving, it's my car." Kagome said in a 'matter of fact' tone in a smug way. Kagome did everything for a reason, and after being a hothead, she really knew how to give an answer.

Inuyasha hated that little runt but right there was no time for a fight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome opened door from the front seat. Walking out, she was amazed by the view. In front of her stood the prestigious Sunnydale private high school. It had an 'L' shaped structure that was three stories high in each direction lined with shiny window panes. For one of the buildings, way on the right side laid a wide set of concrete stairs with railings on the side leading upto a very high ceiling entry way with grand arched doors. 'first objective: stay low, but make sure you set a good presence. Talk to anybody who would possibly know anything about Naraku Uzo's personality. Act like you don't care, and rember tocalm down; be a natural. Make people like you and don't make them feel suspicious. Okay. I think I'm ready.' She said to herself in her head. Kagome paused and inhaled deeply. "You got this in the bag, no need to be nervous' she told herself with a smile.

She was just about to take a few steps toward the entrance when she noticed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll be watching the live feed from the pin on your jacket so put it on when you get in. I hooked up the two way radio system so you could here me through your ear piece and I'll be able to hear you through the feed." Kagome kept a straight face and nodded. This was a serious mission, and it wasn't given to her to fool around. She turned on her heel to walk again when Inuyasha said…

"Kagome…"

She was facing him now.

"Try to be… happy. This is a new mission. No one knows you, and technically you don't have to be yourself. Maybe… you could have fun." He said simply.

Kagome was …surprised. She looked at him quizzically. But she never the less appreciated the jester to an extent you couldn't even imagine. If there was anything Kagome needed right now, it was comfort. She didn't know why he said it, but at this point she really didn't care.

"Thanks" she said. For some reason, even though it was one word, with their hate-hate relationship, it seemed just enough. It seemed right. Who knew, maybe there was more to Inuyasha then she realized.

She straightened her skirt out, looked up with a determined face as she often did before she started a new mission, and headed towards the main doors for her entry. It was a hell of an entry too. Kagome took her first steps into the arched ceiling hallway looking like a legally blond down a walkway. Everywhere faces turned in one direction. Kagome put on a dashing smile and smirked after she flipped her hair out of her face and into the opposite direction. Everybody who saw her in the time frame of seconds had only one question in their minds. "Who is that girl?" but as soon as their minds started answering that question they slowly turned around and returned to whatever they were doing. The new kid, they thought. The rich dorks thought they were dreaming and started rubbing their eyes. The scholarship students looked sad; they knew she was out of their league. The popular girls all looked at their boyfriends who had their jaws hanging….slightly. They turned and gave kagome dirty glares with rumors all ready for broadcasting forming in their heads. Kagome just kept her smirk with wide innocent eyes going with out a care in the world. Kagome didn't like to play this role in particular, but… uheheh. It DID have its perks.

Kagome kept on walking looking down occasionally at the directions for the main office from the notepad with a side folder from her handbag until a book flashed in her face, and a hand at her side grabbing her right before she was about to duck with her sharp reflexes. She felt an arm around her waist, she tried not to do anything, and the next thing she knew was that when she looked up she saw an extremely handsome face with broad shoulders, shiny dark brown hair spiked up in the front, with stunning white teeth.

"Are you okay?" he said with concern.

"Huh. Oh. Right. Yeah, I'm completely fine." She said nervously. 'whew that was close. I almost blew my cover.' She thought.

She stared up at the person's eyes, and he stared back. He wasn't like the other people she met so far.

"Kaaaggggooooooommmmeeee. Anybody in there!" Inuyasha voice suddenly rang through the earpiece.

Kagome snapped out of it. She was suddenly very aware of the arm that was still gripping her waist. She moved out of his grasp and got a hold of legs in line.

"hi." He held out his hand. "My name is Koga. Let me guess today's your first day here, am I correct?"

Kagome took his hand and shook it. "My name is Katie. Katie Johnson. I recently moved here." she said with a smile.

AN: Hey you guys. Sorry I haven't been able to update for a while. So I made this fairly long, its 6 pages. I told myself I would make it longer. But I can't help it. I cant wait to see to see the reaction I get from this. It's not a great chapter, but hopefully I covered some important ground as to the identities of these characters and plot. I don't think its that great, but I tried. So please send me reviews. LOL. I wont hate you if you tell me you don't like where the stories going. Be honest. Tell me what you like and don't like so I can keep it in mind.

Thank you. Luv, Satome
