Chapter 2
In Japan

Inuyasha grumbled as he stepped off of the commercial jet and into the Tokyo airport. He wasn't that great at reading Japanese, and his accent was obvious. Nothing seemed to be going his way recently: his arm was in a sling, his partner was dead, and he was now in Japan.

The first thing he did was head to baggage claim to pick up his things before going to catch a bus to the bank. After all, having yen would be a lot better then having American dollars. Once his errand at the bank was completed, he went to a hotel and got a room to stay in.

It was an expensive hotel, and an expensive room. Inuyasha knew that this was meant to lure his new partner to him.

It was kind of annoying to have to go shopping; and at all of the designer shops, no less. But the American agent was informed that if he didn't do it he'd never leave Japan. So here he was, stuck going from store to store, trying on top-of-the-line clothes and buying bags full of every useless yet extremely expensive thing he could find.

Outside one of the shops, Inuyasha spotted a young woman wearing all black except for a red sash around her waist leaning against a brick wall. He approached her cautiously, wondering if this girl could possibly be the criminal he was looking for. Her sunglasses hid her eyes from view and her folded arms gave her a look of roughness.

"Isn't it too hot to wear all that black today?"

The girl looked at him casually, probably sizing him up, as any scandalous villain would do, before she spoke. "It's not like you're not any less suspicious. Buying millions of yen's worth of merchandise that only thieves would, just to show off their earnings."

"Hey Sango-sama!"

The girl and Inuyasha turned to look at a young man, maybe in his early twenties, trotting up to them. In approaching, Inuyasha noted that the man wore a similar outfit as the girl and that his hair was pulled back in a small ponytail.

"Found any leads, Houshi-sama?" The girl glanced Inuyasha's way before looking back at the man that she had called a priest.

"No, none yet. But you know how slippery a snake is; it'll take a lot more to find the little vermin than some searching around. How about you?" The man stopped in front of Sango and looked at Inuyasha.

"Possibly."

"Sango-sama, who is this that accompanies you? Surely you haven't already tried to find a replacement for me?"

"Don't worry, Houshi-sama, I haven't a clue who this bozo is." Sango swung her head in Inuyasha's direction and flicked her fingers at the man she was talking to.

Obviously her body language meant something to the 'priest' because a look of understanding came over his face.

"Sir, we're going to have to ask you to come with us." The man with black hair tied back in a ponytail motioned for Inuyasha to follow him and the American agent did so with a shrug.

They arrived in front of the Tokyo Police Station before Inuyasha got a clue as to what they were doing.

"Hey, I'm no criminal, just a tourist from America." He swung his hands in front of his face and looked between the two people he had been walking with.

"Sango-sama, I thought you said-"

"That he looks suspicious." She looked at Inuyasha and spoke with a firm voice. "Then I'm sure you won't mind coming in and answering a few questions, sir."

Inuyasha was trapped. He couldn't say no, or they would force him under the law for resisting, and if he said yes he'd have to do it anyway. "Keh, like I have a choice." He followed the two complete strangers into the station where he was then led to a plain white room with a mirror on one wall.

"If you could take a seat here…"

A couple of hours later, Inuyasha was finally released from the building with an apology from Officer Houshi. Or better yet, Agent Houshi from the Japanese government.

With a sigh, he headed back to his hotel to get some rest. It had been a long day for him starting with the flight from LA. Nothing seemed to go well for him these days, and it all seemed to be getting worse.

Inuyasha unlocked the door to his room and stepped inside, only to feel a light breeze coming from within. It was dark in the room and as the door shut behind him, he felt as if he were being watched.

Turning on the light, he saw a dark figure out on the deck connected to the room. The person seemed to be looking back at him with mild surprise and as Inuyasha ran forward, the figure jumped up onto the railing, preparing to get away.

Before they were able to make their escape, Inuyasha grabbed the masked figure's waist and pulled him back into the room. Holding the person with one arm, Inuyasha ripped off their mask to reveal…

"K-Kikyou?"
