Tell me what you think!

Kagome was up too early for her liking, dressed in simple grey sweats and a white beater and sneakers. Gruff called her about a case he had got so she was walking into HQ late the same morning with a headache. The dreams she had about a certain white inu can definitely now be labeled as explicit. In her dreams, the kiss didn't end with Ayame interrupting them. She stepped into the elevator with a groan, trying to shake the images from her head. Him swiping everything off her desk, laying her on top of the hard mahogany, pulling off her shorts, lips kissing every inch of her body, fire igniting around them.

" Stop it." she hissed, forcing the thoughts away with an imaginary kick just as the doors dinged and slid back.

Gruff was standing by the water cooler with a cup in his strong hand, Ayame was fixing one of the monitors next to the other screens on the wall, and Hampton was doing what he did best, feet on the table, comic book in hand. Kagome looked around at her team, she needed a distraction, she thought, walking over to the tiger and held her hand out. He glanced up before pulling the Glock 7 he borrowed from her out his shoulder holster and handed it to her. She then sat in the comfy chair that was in front of the computer, leg over the padded arm, she used the gun to press enter on the keyboard, and then videos began popping up on all the screens. " What's wrong so early in the morning?"

Hampton went back to his comic, " It's 1 pm."

The miko just sneered at the tiger while Gruff grabbed the shades he been wearing all day, they were actually a sophisticated camera he got from a tech friend of his in the labs downstairs. Plugging them in, he picked up a small remote and turned towards the screens.

" We all know there aren't any major mafia or gang families in town." he said as he clicked the button showing a few places he visited, " Just a few minor smugglers, dirty launderers, some pimps and madams, drug dealers and some thieves."

Kagome nodded, scratching her neck, " Yeah we know that, so what's wrong?"

Gruff took a seat, glancing to the screen, " The docks."

Ayame glanced over, " The docks?"

Gruff clicked a button on the remote and a face popped on to the screen. Kagome looked the man over slowly. 35 years of age. Half human, half giant. Six-five and two hundred-fifty pounds of what had once been an athletic build was now a frame running to fat and dissolution. He wore jeans, but was bare-chested with a headband securing his long black hair in place. His chest bore tattoos, some professionally done, but more of the prison spit and pencil variety. He was the sort of man police preferred to meet with gun in hand. He moved with the lazy arrogance that announced his willingness to depart from the rules.

Kagome was quiet when it came to her powers only because they were not average. Not many knew of her powers and no one knew of how powerful she was. It was Gruff that taught her how to hide her aura from others. He knew how powerful she was. She can purify demons like every other miko out there, but Kagome had a real gift. She can purify a demon's soul without killing the demon host, turning a demon into a human. That's why he made sure no one knew about her talents, she would be on the chopping block for every kind out there. Humans would experiment on her, demons would hunt her, people will try to use her and it would never end.

Her strength in purifying goes beyond normal levels and they caused what she called side talents. Over the years, her side talents only grew in power. She can read the heart and soul of a person, she had the gift to make you tell her your deepest, darkest desire. She can sense evil, she could sense pain and other emotions. She can touch something from a victim and hear their final thoughts. Feel what they felt, see what they seen, her talents stretched out as far as actually being able to sense when someone was lying, when someone committed a sin. It was to the point she can actually tell when someone committed a murder.

Kagome frowned, letting her senses take control to get a feel for the man. Murder. Serial killer. Rapist. Torturer.

" Who is that?" she hissed.

" Russell Kancaid. Arms dealer, drug dealer, and human trafficker."

Ayame glanced to Gruff, " He runs the docks now?"

He nodded, " Killed Bonzo about 2 weeks ago and took over. He's some type of half breed."

Kagome shook her head, she had the ability to see through concealment charms, her powers let her see through all lies, " Definitely has giants blood but not fully half."

" Probably half of a half or something." Gruff mumbled.

Hampton frowned, staring at the picture, " He doesn't have any real power, how did he gain control of the docks?"

Gruff clicked a button, showing a few pictures of the man talking to men in suits, hands exchanging envelopes, " Manipulation, pay offs and I think a few spells. He's definitely into magic, I got a whiff of it from his men on guard around the docks."

Kagome frowned, eyebrow raising for a moment, Gruff was raised by sorcerer elves in the Zambian forest. He knew magic very well. " This definitely can't be good."

Ayame agreed, " Seems like he's looking for a hostile take over."

The miko shook her head, " If he wants to take over, he's going to need a front business."

Hampton raised a brow, leaning back in his seat, " You got clips of the strip?"

" The line of clubs and bars by the boardwalk?" Gruff asked, " I think so." clicking through a few pictures until he found one that showed the row of buildings with people around eating lunch and talking.

Kagome nodded, eyes landing on one building in particular, the location was perfect for business, the boardwalk was about 50 meters from front door. The docks only a mile or so in the opposite direction. The district busy with regulars and tourists, she frowned, " There. If I was taking over, I would definitely set up shop there."

Gruff raised a brow, " Which one?"

Kagome pointed a finger, " That one."

Ayame turned, following the length of her finger, it was pointed to the club on the far end of the strip, " Sunset Palace?"

Hampton nodded, " It's the perfect location, right amount of foot traffic and close to the docks."

Gruff nodded, " Okay people we need to figure out what is this half breed's game plan. Tonight is the new moon so it's perfect cover for some infiltration. Hampton go scope out Sunset, Kagome I want eyes and ears on the docks, Ayame go check out Russell's residence. I'll continue to follow him around and gather more intel, until then you're all on call in case something happens."

The team of three nodded, " Got it."

Gruff stood, " Good. Dismissed." he said walking towards the elevator.

Ayame leaned over to her best friend, " So, wanna go to the mall?"

Kagome snickered, the wolf couldn't stay serious to save her life, " Yeah sure, I can use some new clothes." Reaching over she snatched the comic out of Hampton's hand.

The tiger frowned, " Hey I was reading that."

Kagome just grinned, " Nerd boy, wanna hit the mall, I need new gear."

He made a face as if he was thinking about it for a second, " Yeah sure why not, I can use a smoothie."

Kagome stood, " Cool let's go." she said, pulling the gun that was in her sweats out and laid it on the table.

Hampton raised a brow, standing, " Seriously are you ever not packing something."

Ayame laughed, standing, " I don't think that's possible, she got guns that matches purses."

Kagome rolled her eyes, " It's called being prepared." Switching the ruger with the glock he returned earlier and sliding it in her waistband.

Hampton grinned, " Or being crazy, either way."

The trio laughed together as they headed out the door, the three musketeers. They spent a few hours relaxing and shopping and having a good time with each other. Kagome was laughing as she flopped in a chair in the food court, arms full of bags. Ayame sunk in a seat beside her, taking a long breath, trying to slow her giggles, " I thought you said you wanted a pair of shoes?"

" I bought some." Kagome looked down, " Somewhere in here."

Hampton laughed again, shoving his own bags under the table, " How many stores did we hit?"

Kagome did the same, giving one bag a good kick to get it out of her way, " All of them." She sighed, leaning back in the chair, " It was fun though, exactly what I needed."

Hampton rested an arm on the table, " What got you so stressed? Besides suddenly being married."

She frowned, scratching the patch on her neck, " That isn't really bothering me, Sesshomaru and I are getting along oddly enough…" blue eyes looked down. " It's Souta." She mumbled.

Ayame just shook her head, " What's wrong with the cutie pie?"

Kagome sighed, " He seems fine but now that he's living with me, I really don't what my fucked up-ness rubbing off on him."

Hampton shook his head, " What do you mean?"

" You know how Souta got his powers right..."

The tiger blinked, realizing what she meant, the more Souta was exposed to Kagome's aura, the more his body absorbed, " You ever got that checked out?"

Kagome frowned, " Gruff did some research, he said because Souta was a preemie, the core of his power wasn't fully developed and it ciphered from my aura to help build a foundation of his strength. It just seems like its still growing because he's still growing so he still ciphers my aura when I'm near him. Even if I have it pulled in or not."

Ayame made a face, " Does it hurts you? Or makes you weaker or something?"

Kagome shook her head, " Nah, my powers always regenerate and he never takes a lot." she blinked, then shrugged, " It does sting a little."

Hampton glanced over to his friend, " Do you think he knows he's doing it?"

The miko shook her head, " Nah, not really, he'll put his hand on mines and his shoulders would relax. I can feel the calm in his aura, I think he just knows he needs the connection."

Hampton grinned, changing the subject, " Speaking of connection, you and the Inu seem to be getting close."

A soft blush touched the miko's cheek, she bit her lip for a moment, being honest with her closest friends, " He has this way about him."

Ayame raised a brow, " What does that mean?"

Kagome made a thoughtful face for a moment before turning to her friends, " He's so demanding I have a hard time fighting it. He gives me this look and I swear my blood starts to boil. He says my name and I need new underwear. It's weird, I was never attracted to men when I got out of jail but everything he does makes me want to pounce on him." She suddenly raised a brow, frowning, " You think its a spell?"

Hampton laughed, shaking his head, " No. It sounds like you're really into him."

" Our powers calls to each other."

He blinked, " What?"

She shrugged, not fully understanding it herself, " His aura pulses when he's near me, it forces my own powers to rise even if I don't want it to. They call to each other, make us go crazy until we taste each other."

Ayame frowned, " That's not normal."

Kagome agreed, " I know right, its like our auras are trying to out seduce each other or something."

Ayame blinked, " That's weird and sweet at the same time."

Hampton laughed, " It sounds like you two might be meant for each other, when do you see him again?"

Kagome frowned, " Well I'm suppose to be cooking dinner for us tonight but maybe I should cancel."

Ayame shook her head, " No way, I love your food, make sure you make me a plate."

Hampton laughed, " Ditto, besides you're married now, no point in avoiding the man. Get together and just figure it out."

Kagome glanced to the tiger, " Do you really think he can be my Sōrumeito?"

Hampton shrugged, " Anything's possible, soul mates find each other all the time."

Ayame smirked, " Who new Hampton was a sucker for love."

The trio laughed, Kagome rolled her eyes then blinked, " Did that file on Russell say anything about children?"

Hampton looked up at the question, setting down his shake, " Huh?"

Ayame shook her head, " I don't think so."

Kagome tilted her head, " Look."

Ayame and Hampton turned, staring down the food court, she was stepping off the escalator. Her black scandalously short skirt matched the color of her short black hair in a up do. Her yellow shirt skin tight with a low enough neckline to see well into the cleavage of her breasts. A small black leather jacket snuggled her arms and back. Black knee high boots laced up her calves, almond shaped brown eyes taking in the food court, a few bags in one hand, a soda in the other.

The wolf in the group frowned, " You think she related?"

Kagome nodded, she always trusted her gut and her senses haven't served her wrong yet, " There's a small amount of giant in her and they have the same yellow aura."

Hampton smirked, " I should go say hi."

Ayame glanced to Kagome, they both grinned, the tiger should have been born a siren, he can always tell what type of man a female was attracted to, " Do it."

Hampton crossed his arms, staring at the girl for a moment as she ordered a bowl of sushi; he then glanced down to his basketball shorts and black beater. Quickly he pulled his shirt off and draped it around his neck like a towel. He then grabbed Ayame's water bottle and splashed it on his chest. Tangy eyes looked to Kagome, " Give me your car keys."

She handed them over with out hesitating, use to the odd requests from the womanizer. Both girls watched him get up and jog the long way around to the target instead of cutting through the tables. They were too far to hear what was being said because of the nosy dinning area but they watched the scene play out.

Hampton timed it just right, bumping into the girl right before she sat down to eat her food. He caught her bowl in a quick act of reflex, Ayame raised a brow, the girl was angry, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at the tiger, " He fucked up."

Kagome shook her head, seeing how brown eyes scanned over Hampton's toned body before reaching his face, " He got this."

He seemed to be playing innocent, as he gave his winning smile and shook his head in defense. They saw him point to the gym on the far end of the court before putting his hands up in an apology. Ayame frowned, seeing the girl cross her arms and rolled her eyes, " He's not bagging this one."

Kagome grinned, seeing the girl tilt her head towards the tiger, probably asking about the keys hooked on his finger, " Bet?"

Ayame nodded, " 20."

" Deal."

They both watched as Hampton rubbed his neck, probably again apologizing, he then ran a hand through his bangs and laughed. Ayame frowned, " Fuck." knowing she just lost the bet, Kagome just grinned, knowing her friend sealed the deal, no one can resist the tiger's laugh.

They watched the two switched numbers before the girl walked away with her bowl of food to sit outside to eat. Hampton waited a moment until she turned the corner before jogging back over to them with a smile.

He placed his phone on the table as he sat down, " And that's how its done ladies."

Kagome laughed, " Pay up T."

She just rolled her eyes, pulling out her wallet as Kagome picked up the phone. " Katie Kancaid huh."

Hampton nodded, putting his shirt back on, " Yup, she wants a ride in my car as an apology for knocking her over."

Ayame shook her head, handing $20 to Kagome, " How do you do it?"

Hampton just shrugged, leaning back in his seat, " I can read bitches. She's a social climber, she just wants a good looking simpleton on her arm she can dress up for parties and screw at night. So I play the hot guy running late to pick up his little sister from school. All she see is a dumb super cutie, someone she can mold into whatever man she wants for any occasion."

Kagome grinned, " The man got skills, you need to stop doubting him T."

Ayame shook her head, " I'm not, I just want him to teach me his skills, you know how many assholes I fucked thinking they was cool."

The trio laughed again, Hampton handed Kagome her keys back, " So what you making for dinner tonight?"

She made a face, scratching her neck, " I don't know."

" You should definitely make steak." Ayame piped in.

Hampton nodded, " Your steak is the best."

Kagome shook her head with a smile, " I'm kind of nervous." she bit her lip for a moment, glancing between the two, " Every time we're alone something happens and there won't be anyone to stop us this time."

Hampton shrugged a shoulder, " Just go with it, you're married now, you're gonna have to do it eventually."

" I never slept with a man Hampton."

He winked at her, " Want me to show you how?"

Kagome laughed, rolling her eyes, " I'm being serious dumb ass."

Ayame giggled, " She's nervous about losing her virginity, this is too cute."

" Shut up."

Ayame picked up the rest of her water, " Just wear something sexy and go with the flow."

Blue eyes glanced over to the tiger, waiting to hear his opinion, he made a face, " Sexy but simple, like those long sweaters you walk around my house in just to drive me crazy."

She laughed again, " Okay." She took a quick breath, " I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna sleep with him."

Ayame smiled, her best friend looked like a high school teen going on a date with her crush, " You are so adorable."

Blue eyes rolled, " Shut up."

Hampton smiled, nudging his friend's shoulder, " Are you sure this is what you want?"

Again Kagome bit her lip, " I don't know, but when we're together it feels so right. And if I had to lose my virginity, giving it to the Lord of the West isn't a bad choice." She grinned, " Besides giving it to you of course."

Hampton just grinned, " Ya damn right."

They all laughed, she leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, " Okay, I gotta go and get everything ready. I'll see ya'll tonight." she said standing and grabbing her bags.

Ayame and Hampton watched her head for the entrance of the mall, tangy orange eyes glanced over to the wolf, " Is it weird that I'm a little jealous?"

Ayame snickered, " Nah, I'm kinda jealous too."

Hampton made a face, " But you actually slept with Kagome."

Ayame shrugged, " Yeah, but she slept with a lot of girls, I don't even think she remembers."

Hampton frowned, thinking over his emotions for a moment, " He better not fuck up." he mumbled.

Ayame nodded, hearing her friend, " Ditto, or he'll have to answer to us."

Sesshomaru sat on the park bench for what seemed like forever, trying so hard not to think about his sudden wife. He had half convinced himself he was under some type of enchantment. He had never been this attracted to someone in the almost one thousand years he was alive. He lived through so much and so many different types of woman; he didn't understand what made Kagome so special. She was not the first strong female he had an encounter with, she was also not the first human female he met with good looks. But there was something about the girl, her aura whispered of secrets.

He sighed to himself, looking up at the clouds, maybe that was his true conundrum, he was too curious for his own good and the girl was clearly hiding something. But that didn't explain however why he was kissing and touching her the moment they were alone. She was innocent to the ways of man but she was seducing him at every turn. He was positive she had no idea she was doing it, or maybe she was just playing dumb? He only known this girl for a few days but it was starting to feel like a lot longer. The more he was around her; the more she seemed to grow on him.

" Hey, long day?"

Sesshomaru blinked, turning his head towards the voice, Kouga stood before him, dressed in an expensive grey suit, probably running from his office just like he was.

Sesshomaru eyed the Starbucks cup in his hand, great now he wanted one, " What are you doing here Kouga?"

The wolf laughed, " You have a routine my friend, it's pretty easy to know where you are going to be." he said as he plopped down in the seat beside him, " I'm pose to be in some all hands meeting right now."

His sky blue eyes glanced at him, " What you doing here?"

Sesshomaru frowned, looking back at the sky, " Thinking."

Kouga grinned, leaning back against the seat, " It is a nice day to think. Penny for your thoughts?"

" You can't afford my thoughts."

He just took a sip of his coffee, " Try me."

Sesshomaru glanced over, eyeing his friend for a moment, then frowned, " It is about Kagome."

Kouga just nodded, glancing up to the sky, " The cop. I like her, she seems good for you."

Sesshomaru turned back to the puffy clouds, " It is odd, what's happening between us."

Kouga grinned, " You mean the marriage is odd or the immediate attraction is odd."

Sesshomaru frowned, glancing to his friend at his accurate assumption, Kouga just shrugged, " The first time I met her, she looked at you and said, ' Sup boy.' The fact that she is still alive means you must like her."

Sesshomaru just leaned back in his seat, not denying it, " She is rather strange, but there is something else. She is so powerful I can not help myself when I am around her, her aura is so strong."

Kouga made a face, " Really, I didn't get that from her when I seen her."

" And that is another thing, she hides it so well."

" Well how strong is she?" Kouga asked sipping on his coffee.

Sesshomaru glanced over, " Equal to my mother."

The wolf choked as the caffeine tried to go down the wrong pipe, he gasped for air, shaking his head, " Are you serious, she can not be that powerful."

Sesshomaru just turned back to the sky, " Perhaps that is why I am attracted to her so strongly." he mumbled.

Kouga just shrugged, " It would make sense, power attracts power."

" Or the fact that she acts completely like an Inu in heat and doesn't even realize it."

Kouga smirked, taking another sip of his coffee, he had never seen his friend so befuddled by a female in his entire life. This was so interesting and entertaining, " I really like this girl for you."

Sesshomaru frowned, " I am supposed to be going to her home for dinner tonight."

" You guys gonna practice the maritals finally?"

" She's a virgin."

Kouga laughed, " Really?"

Sesshomaru shook his head, " It makes sense, she spent her entire childhood in jail with other females, when she finally got out she was attracted to females."

Kouga glanced over, " So you're saying threesomes are possible then."

" Shut up."

The wolf just laughed, " Look it's weird how this is setting up but it seems like you two really like each other so just go to dinner and go with the flow."

Sesshomaru just nodded, " I suppose." he mumbled, but inside he still wasn't sure how he felt about the weird situation. It all felt so strange and so choreographed, it felt like something was off only because it was all too perfect. He would have to tread carefully from this point on.

It was dark now and cloudy, the monotonous scenery helped Kagome blend well into the dark. She wore tight black spandex shorts for easy movement and a tight black tank top hugging her upper chest and knee pads. With her black boxing sneakers tying up her legs, holsters safely secured on her hips, twin Rugers IC 380s in each slot. And black leather fingerless gloves, a black skullie on her head with a backpack on her shoulders.

She was silent as she slipped her way into the do not enter zone, avoiding the men that were supposedly on guard. A noise buzzed in her ear, " How's it going over there?"

She smirked as she leaped over a gate, landing with a silent thud, " You sound bored."

Hampton grunted, " That's an understatement."

Kagome stayed crouched behind a wooden barrel as she glanced both ways, making sure the coast was clear. She then raced across the yard, nimbly dodging flood lights; she skidded on one knee to a stop, sliding behind a crane. She stayed crouched as she caught her breath, pressing her back against the machine, " Club life that dull."

" The owner is a dumb ass, the drinks are weak as hell, the music sucks, everything is dirty, the food is nasty and the workers stink."

There was giggle in her Kagome's ear, it made her smile, Ayame's voice came through the open communication link, " You know I can hear you guys right."

Kagome grinned as she climbed up one side of a container, " Biscuit just mad he stuck with recon duty."

" We can switch any time cupcake."

" Blu, you good up there?" Gruff piped in over the comm line.

Kagome nodded though he couldn't see it, pulling her book bag off her back and opening it, " Setting up shop now." pulling out small circular metal buttons. These, she got from that tech friend of her, they were trackers slash cameras. She stuck a few to the top, corners and sides of the container before leaping to the next one.

" How's Russell's place T?" she asked, placing trackers and leaping to the next container.

" Quiet. You were right about the girl being related. I think it's his daughter, I can see into her bedroom window."

" Creeper." Hampton piped in.

Kagome snickered, then dropped to her stomach as a light shined her way, she touched her ear, clicking her comm to mute heard whispers from below her, " I don't get why I gotta stay here all night."

" Bones is sick, he got that bug that's been going around the boat house."

" That's what his ass gets for not doing his rounds, now I'm stuck covering his shift."

" Just shut up and stop complaining."

Kagome waited for the light to shine in a different direction as the two men walked off to another row of containers. She clicked her comm off mute, " You guys heard that?"

" Can you see the boat house from where you are?" Gruff asked.

Kagome pulled a pair of binoculars from her bag and took a look, the inferred red letting her see how many people were inside of the building, " Yeah, about a dozen men or so, demons probably, cuz of the flickering heat signatures I'm getting."

" Its probably the lounge, were the men gather to receive orders and do shift changes." Hampton said.

Kagome nodded, " That makes sense."

" I don't want you going in alone but see if you can get eyes inside the building." Gruff ordered.

Kagome pulled her binoculars away from her face and stared at the building, " I'm on it."

She put her binoculars back in her book bag and shrugged it on her shoulders. Snapping the straps across her chest to keep it in place she began silently leaping from container to container. When she got as close as she could without raising alarm, she dropped over the side and crouched in the darkness. The building was about 6 meters in front of her, she took the long way around, sticking to the shadows.

Reaching the side of the building, Kagome laid flat in the foliage that grew by the water, the tall grass efficiently covering her. There weren't any guards outside so she turtle crawled forward, not minding the moisture that seeped into her shorts and shirt.

Once her back was pressed against the rotting wood, she took a quick breath, tempted to peek into the low window to the right of her. Instead, she grabbed the drain pipe and monkey climbed her way up to the roof. She glanced around for a moment before sitting her book bag down and opening it, she pulled out a hand full of button trackers.

Slowly she surveyed the roof, looking for weak boards; she spotted a few rotted ones and a few waterlogged ones and crept over. Carefully she flicked her wrist to turn her nails into glowing claws to pry one free, pulling it up slightly she peeked inside the building. It was just a bunch of low level thugs standing around shooting dice and playing pool. She stuck a button to the wood before replacing it. She moved around the roof silently, pulling up loose boards and sticking buttons on the inside of the building before fixing the wood.

It took her about 20 minutes to go around the entire roof, she ended up placing six cameras when she looked up in saw lights of a car headed her directions. She crouched by the back of the building, hoping the shadows kept her hidden. " Some one's here."

" It's Russell, I followed him here. Take the river I'll meet you on the shore." Gruff said.

Kagome nodded, " Copy that." pulling her hat a little lower before strapping her backpack across her chest. She then pivoted, still in her crouch before pushing off with her legs and leaping into the air.

The splash was a mutter as she dived into the chilled water, the boat house was about 3 meters away now as she tread water for a moment to make sure no one seen her jump in. Not hearing any commotion, she started to swim to the other side of the bank knowing her boss was waiting.

tell me what you think!
