Chapter 2

Inuyasha Takio was about to head out for a long overdue vacation. He hadn't taken time off from work for at least three years and his boss said it was starting to affect his attitude. He'd ordered Inuyasha to take a month leave, after he told him that he was becoming cold and detached from everything. Considering what he did involved being attached and caring this new development wasn't a good thing. Inuyasha sighed as he entered his boss's office. His boss wanted to discuss the details about his last case and he really didn't want to talk about it.

"Inuyasha." Greeted his boss.

"Sesshomaru." He returned. Sesshomaru was the head of the special department dedicated to finding lost and kidnapped children. Sesshomaru had been the academy's prodigy, their pride and joy. He'd graduated from the academy at the top of his class and had risen through the ranks in record time. Then, when he was promoted to the head of the 'lost and found' division, he had dedicated himself to building one of the best task forces in the U.S. Once he had accomplished that he had dedicated himself to creating a special task force dedicated to the most difficult cases involving lost and abducted children, spending a considerable amount of time justifying and lobbying for it. His dogged determination paid off and he now headed this unique and elite task force. He was allowed to recruit his own men, a strange group who came from all walks of life. Each man had to pass through the academy at Quantico before they went to Sesshomaru for special testing and training. Almost no one came through the training. A year after he started the unit he handed the reins over to a friend and set to devote his time and effort to his new team. Each member had their own unique skills for tracking and finding lost children. The twelve members were experts, their one goal to find and protect before it was too late. An ordinary man would have gone into cardiac arrest from all the stress, but these people weren't ordinary. The fact that some were at least part demon kinda threw normal out the window.

"I'd like to discuss the Naraku case with you." Began Sesshomaru. Inuyasha kept his expressions closed. Sesshomaru was also a board certified psychiatrist and seemed to take great pleasure out of picking through his teams minds. It was the one quirk they had to put up with and all of them hated. Inuyasha wasn't in the mood to talk about the Naraku case. It had happened two months ago and he didn't even want to think about it. But he knew that with Sesshomaru, he was going to have to talk about it whether he liked it or not. He sat quietly as the older man reviewed the details of the strange and bizarre case. He stayed calm until Sesshomaru told him he would be getting a commendation for his heroic actions. Inuyasha nearly lost it, but managed to keep his expression cool and collected.

"How did you feel when you shot her?" he asked after he had finished.

"Do were really need to go back on this, sir?" he asked.

"This isn't a formal meeting, Inuyasha, you don't need to call me sir and yes we do need to talk about this, now please answer the question, what did you feel?" he repeated.

"What the hell do you mean, 'What did I feel'!" He ignored the burst of anger, "You know what I'm asking about, at the exact second, what did you feel?"

Inuyasha almost squirmed, not willing to talk about it. He could say he didn't remember, that he was too busy to think about what he was feeling, but had never lied to his brother, no matter what the circumstances.

"Hell." He couldn't evade him any longer, "It felt good. Damn good. I was euphoric. If I had been 30 seconds late, hadn't realized then, that kid would be dead."

"But you did get there in time."

"Yes, but I should have realized earlier."

"You couldn't have known."

"I should've. Did you read the newspapers? They said she was crazy. But they never saw her eyes. She's wasn't crazy, she was pure evil."

"Yes, I read the newspapers."

"I heard that some of your friends said that she was controlled by her husband. That she was so scared of her husband that she just snapped."

"These 'friends' also believe that anyone can be cured with therapy and drugs." Retorted Sesshomaru, "In other words we should feel sorry for her."

"Bullshit, her fingerprints were all over those pornographic tapes and pictures, along with her husband's." scoffed Inuyasha, "Honest to God, Sesshomaru, she was smiling at me as she held that boy, as she held the knife over him. The kid was unconscious but I could tell he was still breathing. She was waiting for me. She knew I'd figured everything out and she wanted me to watch her kill him." He paused, "Yeah, it felt good to blow her away. I'm just sorry her husband wasn't there. What about him? Any new leads? I still think you should put Miroku on Naraku's trail."

"I was considering that. However, I believe the others want Naraku alive and we both know that Miroku wouldn't hesitate to take him out."

"Yeah." Inuyasha stretched his shoulders, unwinding his cramped muscles.

"You will be taking a month off after this next assignment though."

"Another one!"

"Yes. It is a special case. It's someone you know."

"Who!"

"Souta Higurashi."

"What happened!" he demanded.

"Nothing's wrong with Souta, it's his sister." Inuyasha's eyes narrowed,

"Kagome?"

"Yes."

"No. I won't do it."

"You must. I've already told them you would help in any way you could."

"No. I'm not going to help the wench."

"Oh you won't be helping her. You'll be protecting her."

"I told you before. I'm not going to do it."

"Inuyasha. You are." His tone held no room for argument. Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru got up.

"Oh, and one more thing. You have to pretend to be her fiancé."
