Alright. I have a problem. It's a WONDERFUL problem that I'm sure some of you are familiar with. It's called "Beginning another story without finishing others". The symptoms are:

feeling overwhelmed

mixing up ideas and characters

and actually forgetting that you put a story up

That's why I haven't put another chapter up sooner.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Kagome ran down that hallway unseen. She had to get to her destination and to the next class before the bell rang. That gave her three minutes and 34 seconds. Plenty of time for her but that didn't matter. She had to get there before Kikyo.

She picked up her pace and ran across the court yard after she had shot out the door behind someone else. The wind she created blew up the boys sports jacket. He took it for a heavy breeze.

The building she wanted was located right behind the abandoned green house. The overgrown vegetation hid the storage buildings perfectly. She jumped onto the netted roof of the green house and stared down at the bodies below. She slowed her breathing and crept along the edge to keep up with the shadowy figures. The her right, she glimpsed a streak of black. A smirk graced her lips.

"Couldn't move fast enough could you Kikyo?" she thought. The heads of the men below her turned in the direction of the blur. Kikyo always made a great distraction. That's why Kagome always got the prize.

She jumped down and looked for an entrance to the building. All the windows seemed old and rickety and all the doors were securely locked. She circled the building and still saw no way to get in.

On the other side of the building she heard two choked cries followed by dull thumps.

"You meant for them to see you. You've gotten better. But you won't be good enough." she squatted down and then launched herself onto the roof. She surveyed the area looking for openings. Her eyes lit up as she spied an open vent. A big one at that. The soles of her shoes hardly made a sound on the tin roof as she crept over to the vent.

Hushed voices drifted up towards her. She smirked. She didn't necessarily need to get in. She just needed information.

"They will meet in the boy's locker room after practice." Kagome leaned in closer as the male voice continued.

"They will give the instructions after everyone has left." Another voice cut in.

"What if anyone catches us." the other male growled.

"We have never been caught. Don't change that." The other voice trembled out a reply.

'Bingo. Boy's locker room after practice. Now how do I get in there.' Kagome thought. She stilled as the voices continued. More information was much appreciated.

A squeak was heard in the corner of the building. Kagome rolled her eyes. That is if you got that information. That squeak was intentional and she knew it.

The boys quieted as she listened for intruders. They didn't have to wait long because the squeak was soon followed by a crash. Kagome jumped to the other side of the vent as half the building caved in.

"Thanks for the info boy's. You were very worth my time." Kagome's hand itched to slap that girl's head off. Kikyo always made an entrance after she got a hold on inside information. She just couldn't do it often since she never was able to get the inside info.

"Who are you." the deeper voice asked. Kagome peeked her head into the building since both of the male's backs were turned.

"None of your business." Kagome slapped her forehead.

'Very professional. Said like a true immature teenager.' Kagome thought.

"Is anyone else with you?" the boy asked. Kikyo sneered.

"Just the spy on the roof. But she's not really with me. She's right behind you." Kagome gasped and then shot off the roof.

That was a new tactic on Kikyo's side. Kagome wasn't surprised though. She had a tendency to get dirty.

The boy's had run over to look up at the open vent. They weren't fast enough though. Kagome was long gone.

"Oh well. Seems you couldn't get her. Catch you later." she giggled. The two males whirled around but to no avail. Kikyo had disappeared through the open wall. The boys just stared with wide eyes as a breeze blew in a few leaves.

"What are we going to do Koga?" the meek boy asked. Koga growled in disdain.

"We're going to tell Naraku. Someone in this school is a spy."

"Maybe a couple of people. That girl said there was someone on the roof." Koga freely walked out of the obliterated wall and into the open.

"If I was to bet, I say she was bluffing and we fell for it." he smirked as he turned to the other boy.

"But she's a stupid one though. We got a full look of her face. As a new recruit, your first job is to weasel her out and bring her to Naraku." The recruit nodded.

"Simple enough. She's just a girl, right." Koga nodded.

"That's right.

Kikyo settled into her seat right as the bell rang for second period. This assignment was going to be a breeze for her. She already has the information. Plus she had a plan on how to dismantle the goal.

"Why did you do that?" a scornful voice said beside her. "You blew your cover and almost blew mine. Not that I mind. I'm just saying your pretty stupid." Kikyo rolled her eyes.

"It's more of a challenge that way. What? Can't handle a challenge, Kagome?" Kagome turned toward the front as the teacher came in.

"I don't like to make more trouble than I have to. I like to get the mission done and be over with. More money that way."

"That's why you're the best." Kikyo hissed. Kagome smirked.

"Exactly. And that's why your not. You should learn from your mistakes and from my success. You're one of the reasons why your company isn't a top company. Nobody wants a incapable spy." Kagome whispered. This was one of her schemes. Beat the enemy spies down and then kick in the mission.

"You've become way too cocky. Things are going to change around here." Kikyo said. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Same answer. Different mission."

"I would fully appreciate it if you two would stop talking and pay attention back there." the teacher yelled. Both of the girls turned to the front.

Kagome glanced at Kikyo out of the corner of her eye. She had pulled her phone out and was texting someone. She smirked.

'Already off task.' Kagome thought as she copied the equations off the board.

"Now. How should I do this?" Kagome pondered. She balanced herself on a beam high up near the ceiling. Her nimble fingers worked a loop around a hook that was attached to a string.

"That'll do it."

Kikyo looked around the packed auditorium. The school was to announce the drug-free week. Everyone was here. All except one.

"Were is she?" Kikyo mumbled to herself. She had trained her eyes to detect the slightest sign of Kagome. The room was dark and many bodies shifted around making it hard to concentrate.

"She's here. She has to be." Kikyo told herself as she sunk down into her seat. She was nervous about this mission. She was nervous about every mission. Kagome was so good at what she did. Kikyo would never admit it, though. Kagome was always thinking about the next move. It all came so easy to her. Kikyo would rather take her time. Settle down in a place and gather information. But with Kagome, she was always in a rush to beat her. She had to work at top speed. And still that wasn't enough.

It didn't help that Kikyo's boss practically worshiped Kagome.

'I wish I had at least one spy like Kagome.' or 'This is a top ranked mission. Kagome will be there without a doubt.' Kikyo never heard anything around the company that didn't involve Kagome. That's what fueled her fire, though. Her mission was to someday beat Kagome. And from here on out, always beat Kagome.

"I will find you. Count on it." she said as her eyes narrowed.

The lights dimmed, successfully quieting the students. The principal marched out onto the middle of the stage and picked up the microphone.

Kikyo trained her eyes to the front but soon ducked down. She peeked over the chair at the group of boys in front of her. There was no doubt in her mind that they were the people that she was looking for.

And they were looking for her. She hadn't intended for them to see her face. She was supposed to be in the shadows. Rookie mistake.

But she wasn't a rookie. And in some aspects, she was a great spy.

She memorized the back of their heads. Many dark heads randomly sat, glancing around. Naraku was known for his many minions. She spotted two silver heads. One was with the others. He was the younger of the Taisho brothers and just another variable. The other sat beside the head member.

Sesshoumaru. He was a force to be reckoned with and someone you didn't want to anger. Some said he was more powerful that Naraku.

He was also a beast. Beast, as in, he had every girl hanging on to him. His large muscular frame was hard for females to ignore.

Then there was the man on the other side of Naraku.

Bankotsu. He mainly controlled the followers. He wasn't too bad to look at either.

Then there was Naraku himself. Kikyo couldn't miss his long, wavy, black hair. Around the school he was just another popular kid. But in the back alley's he was respected in a different manner.

He was a killer of sorts. A thrill killer who was soon to be the world's most feared being. That's why he had to be stopped now. That was why Kikyo and Kagome were here.

Kikyo glanced around again.

Still no sign.

Kikyo sat up again as the principal's voice boomed through the speakers.

"Hello everyone. This coming week will be Drug-Free week. This is a special week because we get to learn how to keep ourselves clean and how to encourage friends to stay clean."

Kikyo's attention quickly went back to the mission as the principal droned on about the schedule and other things that she didn't care about. Movement in the rafters caught her attention. She strained her neck to get a better look.

There was a short piece of string hanging down from the ceiling. She followed the string to a hook. The light glinted off the hook as it swung loosely around. Kikyo scanned the entire ceiling which was filled with randomly placed hooks.

'There is no reason for those hooks to be there.' her eyes narrowed as the light glinted off another object.

'Plastic?" she wondered.

"And remember to always wear your red ribbon!" the principal finally said. That was the teacher's cue to usher the kids back to their classes.

Kikyo was still watching the ceiling. A pale hand reached out and grabbed the string.

Kikyo smirked. 'So that's where you are.' Her smirk faded. 'But what are you doing?' A teacher lightly grabbed her shoulder but Kikyo didn't move.

"What are you looking at?" the teacher asked as she also craned her head toward the ceiling.

The hand holding the string jerked and a whooshing sound filled the building. The entire student body screamed and laughed as a powdery substance fell to the ground. A poster unrolled at the stage opening.

It read:

"Free Crack!!"

The principal appeared in front of the poster, red in the face. The building fell silent except for a giggling in the rafters.

The principal turned on the portable spot-light and scanned over the ceiling, finally landing on Kagome.

Her face was a look of feigned surprise. The principal growled and shook as Kagome dropped the string and shrugged.

Kikyo could only stare at her. This was very out of character for Kagome.

"It wasn't real crack, Mr. Dolyway." Kagome's innocent voice didn't seem to make the principal calm down any.

"Were would I get crack?" she continued.

"That's not that point. You skipped an attendance and pulled a prank that did not coincide with Drug-Free week." He sat down at his desk and stacked a few papers.

"Technically, I was there." she tried to look as humble as possible.

"Well, technically," he said, mocking her girly accent. "I'm putting you on athletic clean up duty." he said while handing her a slip.

Kagome's eyes watered as she turned to leave. She passed the secretary who gingerly smiled at her. Kagome sniffed as she stared at the paper.

"I hope you learned your lesson. I can't believe you did this." the secretary said. Kagome nodded dumbly.

"You're right. I'll never do anything like this again." she said with believable emphasis. The secretary shooed her out. Kagome rushed to the door and quickly left.

Her eyes dried and she smirked as she stepped out into the cool and deserted hallway.

"That went exactly how I wanted." she said and then took off to her fourth period class.

This was pretty long. Maybe next time we'll get more action on the boy's side. REVIEW!!!
