Chapter 7- Assignment Assigned

By the time afterschool came around Kagome was calm but unsure of wether or not this whole thing was a good idea after all. She made her way to Ayame's office right after school and about halfway there she was stopped by her new partner. Hoever his stern mean looking face was gone adn replaced by one of concern and saddnes.

"You can still get out you know, the assignment makes it official." he said while looking down.

"And why would I want to do that. You guys have information I need and wether you like it or not I'm staing. you don't even have to foloow me or protect me for that matter if that's what's bugging you cause I'm perfectly capable of taking care of my self." she responded causing Inuyasha to realizew what he had just said.

"Feh, what ever wrench it's your funeral." he retorted with the same old coldness and sourness tha was in his voice form before. Yet for some reason it made her smile. For the first time in her life since her family was killed she felt like laughin and actual laugh. As they walked into the office Koga emerged from a back room with two pieces of paper. Ayame was soon seen aftetward as she neared them all.

"So first night out huh?" questioned Koga as he handed Ayame the papers to sign.

"Yup."

"Don't worry, its not as hard as it sounds. Now, as soon as your done you sign it, write in teh time you've completed your assignment and turn it in the following morning. We all meet in the same spot you saw us in today. Also, I'm going to need for you to give Inuyasha here your basic information and after your assignment we need a blood sample." said Ayame as she signed the form and handed it to Kagome. Kagome simply looked at it before taking it causing Inuyasha a reason to tease.

"You know if your scard then leave." he said causing Ayame to glare at him even thought he completely ignored it.

"Ha Ha that was so funny I forgot to laugh." answered Kagome as took the slip from Ayame. Before leaving though Kagome had to know.

"do you need ym blood tonight?"

"Yea, why?"

"No reason. Where do or who do I give it to?"

"To your partner." was her only response as she exited the room with Koga to start on their assignments. Kagome turnned to Inuyasha but said nothing. She then left the office and looked at the paper. It read:

Welcome new bee, your assignment for tongiht will be simple. You must track down a medium level witch, demon and or miko who have been abusing their power and bring them in. You may knock them out your self or use the special liquid provided. you have three hours to complete this assignment. Note that all assignments will have different if not no time limit, it simply depends on the status and level of your assignment. Good luck and remember, stay close to your patner.

Once Kagome was done reading it she looked her self over and realized she had to go home and change first. He turnned to look at Inuyasha and sighed.

"Hey."

"What?"

"I have to go home and change, you coming or you going to meet me somewhere?"

"Well considering I will need your adress soon I guess I'll just follow."

"Fine." and with that Kagome lead the way. She walked down a trail and throught a small park only to reach a small but well furnished home. It was old and looked anicent but she didn't care. What mattered was the future and her life long quest. She opened the door and aollowed him to enter while sayin

"Well, home sweet home."

"Wow, you live here?"

"Yea, small but at least it's something. I'm gonna change, make your self at home. I'll be down in a bit, theres a couple of drinks in the fridge if you want something." and with that she went up. Inuyasha looked at the place she called a home. It was small yet a decent and comfortable size. He walked around for a bit when he came across and enchanted door. 'What the?' he thought as he stared at it. Mikos weren't allowed to learn withcary yet some how she had managed to bind a door shut. 'Naaa, probably just a favor or job.' he thought. When he entered the kitchen he found a small fridge and hardly any food. 'Is she anarexic?' he woundered as he reached for a coke. By the time Kagome got down Inuyasha had looked over the entire house and concluded that there were some suspicious things but non that could be blame or pinned on her. However, when he looked at her his eyes, his time seemed to have frozen in that one spot. She was wearing a pair of leather pants and black tank top with a black net shirt under it. Her body looked perfect and just as he was about to let himself feel again he stopped it and moved for the door.

"Ready?"

"Yea, but you sure you don't want my blood now?"

"No, I can wait for when you get your ass kicked while we're out." he teased. Kagome glared at him for a while then followed him out. They walked down alley after alley only to stop in a dark bus stop alley way to come across not a medium level but a top level rule breaker. Inuyasha was about to take it when Kagome charged in. Within minutes he was down and out. Inuysha stared, amazed at how fast and easy it was for her only to see Kagome fall. From within the net he guy had managed to sent out a ball of evergy. It hit Kagome on the back of the head. Inuyasha sighed and called Miroku and Sango to pick up. Then he picked up her body and made his way to the oppiste side of town, to where he would be able to reach his sancuary.
