I keep forgetting to put this in .. I don't own Inuyasha and other characters created by Rumiko Takahashi or anyone involved in the Inuyasha franchise. I do own my characters however.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR KIND REVIEWS! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Chapter 33

"What favor do you need, Onii-san?", asked Kieran. Although they had been adopted by the dog family hundreds of years before, the two blood brothers were closest to each other in times of crisis. Kentaro knew he could count on his younger sibling for everything.

"I need you to find your way into Naraku's insurance office."

"What for?"

"A couple things. One, to see if we can discover where he's hiding and two, to find out how many policies he's written in the Jamesville/Wellington area."

"Why?"

"Don't ask right now."

"Ok, I suppose this has to do with my expertise at lock picking."

"Yea, but be careful. The place could have cameras."

"Not a problem. Jasmine taught me that invisibility spell a long time ago, remember?", said Kieran, smugly.

"Still remember it?"

"Better than I think Jasmine remembers her punishment for teaching it to me.", Kieran laughed.

"Yes, I remember Papa saying that you, of all people, shouldn't know an invisibility spell. You were already the best at disappearing when he wanted you and you were a Class A thief as a kid.", Kentaro agreed, then quickly said,

"Gotta go. Someone's coming. I'll talk to you tomorrow.", Kentaro said, and he closed down the line as Izayoi walked in,

Hey, Onii-san, my turn to sit and monitor the calls."

"Oh, yea, sure. No problem, imoto.", Kentaro said, getting up from his chair.

"Oh, by the way, Shippou is here."

Kentaro's eyebrows rose, "He is? Why?"

"Otou-san felt that Okaa-san should give Shippou's family new normalcy jewelry right now. So he's here to pick it up for his family."

"Is Daicho here?", Kentaro asked, speaking about Shippou's fox demoness wife.

"No. Apparantly one of their kits had homework to complete and she refused to leave him alone for fear he would try to eat it."

"Eat ... his homework?"

"Yea ...demon history. He hates it."

"Ohhh. Must be Saito. He hates history. Too bad. I love looking at Daicho. She's one foxy fox.", Kentaro laughed as he walked out of the room.

Walking out into the living room, Kentaro quickly spotted the short fox demon,

"Hey Shippou ... what's shaking my main man?"

Turning around, Shippou shook his tail and said,

"My tail ..ok?", he said with a hearty laugh.

Kieran sat at the little coffee shop in Wellington, across the street from "Walters Insurance Agency", waiting for night fall. He had recently discovered the little shop and found out that their food was to die for. So was the little waitress who worked the evening shift. Downing his 6th bacon double cheeseburger, large helping of cheese fries and large chocolate milkshake, he sat and watched the world go by, especially the coming and goings happening across the street.

"I can't believe you ate a sixth serving of cheeseburger, fries and shake. You must have one hell of a metabolism. I don't see an ounce of fat on you.", said a female voice. It was Debby, the waitress that Kieran had his eye on.

"And you won't find an ounce of fat anywhere on this body. I've got abs of steel!", he said, pounding his stomach.

"Do you want anymore?"

"Sure."

"Aren't you full yet? And why are you here? You've been in here everyday for a while now."

"And I will keep on coming back until you give me your phone number."

"No, I said. My mom would kill me if I gave my phone number to a stranger."

"Give me your phone number and we won't be strangers. Besides, I told you, my name is Kieran, I'm 21 and I'll tell you everything else over dinner."

"Oh ok ..if I give you my number will you leave before you die of a heart attack from all this greasy food you're eating?"

"Well, no. Can't leave just yet. But, I will stop ordering the cheeseburgers!"

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Ok ... it's 604-456-2123."

"Great. Now whaddya have for dessert?"

"Fresh Apple Pie."

"MMMmm. Sounds good. Warm please, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some cinnamon on the ice cream and don't forget the whipped cream and cherry!"

"Boy ...how can you eat all that?"

"My mother says I'm hollow."

"Must be."

After eating his apple pie, Kieran decided it was dark enough to make his move. Paying his bill, he walked out and walked around the block. Finding a tall oak, he looked around to make sure no one was out and about, and jumped to the highest limbs. Casting the invisibility spell, he hopped back down and casually walked over to the back of the building that housed the insurance agency. Using his long wolf claw, he quickly unlocked the lock. Looking around again (to make sure that no one would see a door opening by itself), he slipped inside.

It was a small, well kept office. Kieran found the file cabinet and just as easily unlocked it. Searching through the files, he kept count in his head all the ones with local addresses. As he finished counting, he let out a soft whistle. Then he heard a sound. He didn't recognize the sound, so he carefully pushed the drawer in and stood quietly to see if anyone was coming. When no one showed up, he started to leave, figuring he had the information Kentaro wanted and more. As he headed past a back room, he heard some voices,

"Adimara, we need to finish this soon. This body won't last much longer."

"We just need to wait until the ships are full for crab season and Jamesville is full of the families waving them off. HAHAHA! They won't know what hit them! It will be the greatest unnatural natural disaster the world has ever seen!"

Kieran walked closer to the door when CREAK! went the floor. Kieran stopped dead, cursing himself.

"Who's there?", said a woman, opening the door and looking out. It was Adimara. And what Kieran saw inside made him want to wretch. Was this Naraku?
