Hidden Innocence
Chapter 24: Plan out the route

Inuyasha was sitting in his room looking down at his phone. He had called Kagome countless times now and still he hadn't been able to get through to her. She hadn't really talked to him during gym class and she disappeared right after. He was starting to wonder if something had happened to her.

Frustrated and worried Inuyasha called her phone once more. After five rings just as he thought it was about to go to voicemail a breathless Kagome picked up the phone.

"Hello?" she said panting.

"Kagome where are you?" asked Inuyasha.

"I'm just at the gym, why what's wrong?" asked Kagome with a smile as she wiped down her face which was all covered in sweat.

"I've been trying to call you since school let out today and that was like seven hours ago," said Inuyasha.

"Oh shit is it really that late already? I didn't even notice. Sorry really I'm sorry," said Kagome.

"What have you been up to Kagome? I was worried that something might have happened," said Inuyasha.

"Oh you should know that I can take care of myself Inuyasha. I'm not one of those girls from school," said Kagome with a laugh.

"Yeah but still I was worried. Why did you leave school right away? I didn't even get a chance to see you," said Inuyasha.

"I had some things to take care of so I couldn't stay," said Kagome.

"Oh, I see... So did you go see Ayame?" asked Inuyasha.

"I went but I didn't get a chance to see her, and besides she was with her dad so I just wanted to leave them be for a little while."

Inuyasha let out a breath as he listened to her. For some reason he was feeling very antsy as if something bad was happening even though he knew nothing was. He had zoned out so that he didn't hear Kagome talking on the other line.

"Inuyasha? ...Hello Inuyasha? Okay seriously INUYASHA!"

"Huh? Oh sorry Kags did you say something?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah I said I gotta go I'll see you tomorrow?" asked Kagome.

"Yeah I guess so, sweet dreams Kagome," said Inuyasha.

"Sweet dreams," said Kagome as she hung up. She put her phone back on the bench that she left it on and went to Kouga who was sparing with her.

They had been going back and forth for hours now and not once had Kouga questioned her about it. He knew she had a reason but he didn't push her.

"So Kags you tired yet?" asked Kouga as he blocked her punch.

"No, not until I knock you down." As she was saying that she punched him unexpectedly in the stomach before turning her body a full 180 degrees and elbowing him in the side. Losing his balance Kouga fell wide open for Kagome's kick landing him on the ground flat on his back.

Ginta and Hakaku both whistled low as they saw Kouga fall.

"Shit Sis I didn't know you had it in you still," said Ginta. Kagome turned to him and glared.

"What do you mean by still?" asked Kagome.

"Well you haven't been at the hide out for almost a month now so I thought that you had gone soft," said Ginta.

"Gee thanks Gin nice to know you think so little of me," said Kagome with a laugh as she tossed her towel at him.

"Well it's the truth, now how about I treat you to some food?" asked Ginta as he walked back to her and ruffled her hair.

"Sorry I'm gonna head home I have homework," said Kagome with a laugh when she saw his disgust. "It's not as bad as it seems," said Kagome as she gathered her things. "So same time tomorrow?"

"Yeah I'll be here," said Kouga as he took off his gloves.

"Bye guys thanks for the match," said Kagome as she walked away.

Kouga watched her walk away and he felt his heart tighten just a little bit. He could tell she was in a lot of pain that was the only reason she would push herself so hard to train again. The only other time she trained like this was when they had first met and she had found out of how her parents had actually died.

Hakaku and Ginta saw the way Kouga was looking at Kagome as she was leaving. They both knew he was still in love with her but she was too oblivious to him. They both walked over to Kouga and hooked their arms around his shoulder.

"Don't worry bro you'll find someone," said Hakaku.

Kouga looked at him and raised a brow. "And why do you think I won't find someone?"

"We know you are in love with Kagome, we're not stupid," said Ginta.

"Well you must be if you think I'm in love with Kags," said Kouga as he shrugged the twins off and walked away.

"Poor guy is still hooked hard," said Hakaku.

"Yeah," said Ginta in total agreement.

"Well nothing we can do about that now let's go get cleaned up, we need to get home," said Hakaku. The twins grabbed their gear and headed home as well leaving the sparing ring empty.

Kagome walked into school the next day with her face stuck in a note book. She had written notes all night about the location of the club about all that she had figured out about Bankotsu. Her plan was coming together quickly. She had to plan it out carefully because she only had this one shot to get him. If she failed this time she wouldn't have another shot at it.

Kagome was walking down the hall and didn't see the collision course she was heading for. Just as she was about to knock over the person he noticed her. "Watch out Kagome! You almost knocked us both over," said Miroku who was holding a pile of books.

Kagome looked up and saw Miroku and the toppling books. "Oh shit sorry," said Kagome as she grabbed a bunch of his books so that they wouldn't fall. They started walking again. "So what are you doing here so early with all these books?" asked Kagome as she looked at all of them.

"Well yesterday Mr. Oda saw me lazing around and I got stuck with tutoring during my study block," said Miroku with a sigh.

"Oh poor you," said Kagome with a laugh.

"Hey don't make fun of me!" whined Miroku. They both started laughing and soon enough they were at the study hall where Miroku had to tutor others.

"Well have fun Miroku, I'll see ya in history!" said Kagome as she turned around and went to her locker. When she reached it she was greeted by Inuyasha. There was worry written all over his face. He seemed as if he hadn't slept at all. "Hey what's wrong?" asked Kagome as she touched Inuyasha's face.

"I don't know I feel as if something bad is about to happen and I don't even know why," said Inuyasha with a half smile.

"Oh babe there's nothing to worry about I'm here for you," said Kagome with a tender brush of lips. Inuyasha pulled her into his arms feeling like he needed to hold onto her.

"Thanks..." he whispered into her ear before letting her go.

"No problem now let me get my stuff and then we'll go to choir," said Kagome as she held onto his hand as she opened her locker. She carefully placed her note book inside her bag and pulled out her choir books. Once she shut the locker Kagome intertwined her fingers with Inuyasha's and walked towards their class.

During choir class Inuyasha had been really quiet. When they started practicing for the winter festival he—one of the leads—was the quietest in the group. Kagome who was so busy in her own world hadn't noticed until Sango asked her if there was something wrong with Inuyasha. Kagome just shrugged her shoulders and looked at Inuyasha during the whole class. When they left there and went into history the same thing happened again. Inuyasha wasn't even participating and this was supposed to be his favourite class. Something was definitely bothering him and it was making Kagome worry.

So during lunch Kagome pulled Inuyasha with her towards the school parking lot. He followed quietly. She hopped on top of the hood of her car and patted the seat beside her. He sat down quietly and frowned as he looked at her hand which was intertwined with his.

"Why do I feel like I'm going to lose you?" asked Inuyasha as he held on tighter to her.

"I don't know... you're not going to lose me Inuyasha, there's no way that'll happen. Is that what you're worried about?" asked Kagome as she turned her whole body to him.

"It's not so much that but there's like a big void in me saying that something bad is going to happen," said Inuyasha.

The instant he said that Kagome thought of her mission. Did he know something that he wasn't telling her? Did he know about her true occupation? She looked him dead in the eye and smiled.

"Nothing bad is going to happen, trust me. Now stop frowning, please?" she asked as she kissed him softly. Inuyasha responded to the kiss slowly as if trying to memorize the taste of her. He pulled her into his arms and held her close.

"Sorry I've been such a downer lately. I just have this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and it hasn't gone away. I've felt like this since yesterday," said Inuyasha as he breathed in her scent. "You're the only thing that's calmed me."

Kagome just held onto him and sat there with him. When his mood finally settled he pulled back and looked at her. "God it feels like I haven't seen you in such a long time," he said with a faltering smile.

"Inuyasha you just saw me yesterday. I'm not going anywhere seriously! Now let's go I'll treat you to lunch today," said Kagome as she jumped off her car and pulled him down too.

Inuyasha just grinned hoping that it would fool her even though he knew it wouldn't. She just squeezed his hand and pulled him along. They got into Kagome's car and Kagome drove to the café that they always go to.

They enjoyed a quiet lunch together and Kagome pelted Inuyasha with questions to keep him from thinking. He seemed so down and she didn't know how to help him. It was frustrating but then she came up with a solution.

"So how about we go on a date tonight? I'll come to your house and we can snuggle on the couch or… up in your room?"She said as they drove back towards school. Inuyasha looked at her and smirked.

"Aren't you moving fast?" asked Inuyasha.

"Nope but really I'm just asking to come over to see Izayoi again!" said Kagome with a laugh hoping he would laugh too.

"Oh really well then maybe I don't want the date then," he said with a laugh and he brought his hand to hers. "Thanks." He brought her hand up to his mouth and pressed a kiss to her palm.

"You're welcome Yashie-kun!" she said with a shrilly voice and then broke out in giggles when she saw him cringe. "Imagine me like that all the time!" He cringed again and Kagome couldn't help the bubble of laughter that erupted from her.

She was still laughing when they pulled up in the student parking lot. "So would you still love me if I was loud and shrilly?" asked Kagome as she hooked her arm through his. Inuyasha looked at her and raised a brow.

"I'd love you still but I'd wear ear plugs for the most part and take up lip reading," said Inuyasha with a wry smile.

"Aw aren't you... sweet?" she said with a laugh. They both broke out in laughter as they walked into the school. The bell was about to ring soon and Inuyasha had to get to band class. "Okay so I'll see you in P.E. and then after that we'll go to your house?"

"Yeah sounds good. Do you want to walk me to class?" he asked pretending to be shy. Kagome laughed and went to grab his note book. "You don't need to hold my books too."

"But I want to follow through with the whole walking you to class bit," said Kagome as she tried to snatch the books from him. It didn't work when he held on with his demon strength. "Oh you're no fun!"

"I love you too," said Inuyasha as he pecked her on the cheek. Kagome just looked at him and shook her head. She was glad that his mood had been lifted. He had been so down lately, and now he was smiling again. She hooked her arms through his again and grinned up at him.

"Come on I'll walk you to class," said Kagome.

Kagome went to the hide out during her spare. She found Kouga and Hakudoshi sparing in the gym and was itching to get in there with them. When they noticed her they both stopped, not before Haku got a clean hit on Kouga. Cringing Kagome jumped into the right fixing on her gloves.

"Hey guys mind if I join you?" asked Kagome.

"No it's fine but what are you doing here so early?" asked Kouga.

"Well I can't really make it tonight so I thought I'd get in some training while I can to make up for me missing out on our training tonight," said Kagome.

"Okay that's fine. So what are you doing tonight?" asked Kouga as he watched her. Kagome's cheeks flushed a little as she looked at him.

"I have a date with Inuyasha." Kouga looked at her intently and had a frown on her face.

"So you two finally hooked up?" he asked.

"Yeah he asked me on Sunday, but with everything going on with Kitaru and Yame I forgot to tell anyone," said Kagome.

"Well as long as you're happy," said Kouga. Haku looked at them both and grinned.

"I can't believe you actually hooked up with him!" said Hakudoshi.

"And why can't you believe it?" she asked as she ruffled his hair.

"Because he's still such wannabe type of guy," said Hakudoshi with a toothy grin. He was just joking around.

"You want to say that to his face?" asked Kagome with a laugh. "I'll be happy to bring him to the house and let him hear you say that again to his face."

"Geez I was just joking, he's actually really cool, not how I thought he'd be at all. It still is surprising to see that you guys hooked up though, cause you two seemed so spaced out at times," said Hakudoshi.

"Well then, just for that you're my first opponent," said Kagome with a grin. She got into position and sprang throwing the first punch.

After school was over Kagome waited for Inuyasha at their lockers. When he finally showed up she was all bundled and ready to go. "And here I thought that girls take longest after P.E."

Inuyasha looked up at her and smiled. "Sorry I got held up by Mr. Oda. You know how he can be," said Inuyasha.

"Oh ouch, of all the teachers," said Kagome with a laugh. "Well now that you're here hurry it up so we can go on our date!"

"Yeah date as you put it," said Inuyasha.

"Yup! Our date! Now hurry up!" said Kagome as she nudged him. Inuyasha pulled open his locker and pulled out his books. Once he was ready to go they walked out to their cars. "Okay I'll follow you!"

"Sure," said Inuyasha as he got into the car. They drove to the first traffic light and Kagome pulled up beside him and rolled her window down. He looked over at her and raised a brow.

"Race ya!" she asked.

Inuyasha just laughed thinking she was joking and then he saw her smirk and floored it down the road. Blinking in astonishment Inuyasha put his own car into gear and chased after her. She was zigzagging through cars like it was easy. Inuyasha followed with ease but he wasn't able to catch up to her until the next light. She was laughing when he pulled up beside her and she rolled down the window again.

"You thought I was joking didn't you?" asked Kagome.

"Well yeah I didn't know you could drive like that but I guess I should have figured," said Inuyasha with a chuckle.

"Of course I'm no ordinary girl you know! So I'll see ya at your house! BYE!" she yelled as she sped off as the light turned green.

Inuyasha just let out a chuckle and followed her. When he got to the house he saw Kagome getting out of her car and walking over to the front door. When she saw Inuyasha she beamed at him and knocked on the door. When the door opened Izayoi was standing there. Inuyasha just raised a brow. His mother was starting a new movie so shouldn't be at work.

Izayoi saw Kagome and her face just lit up. "Kagome dear you're here. I didn't think I'd get to see you so soon," Kagome was taken into a tight hug as Inuyasha walked up to the door.

"Mom don't you have work anymore? I swear since this school year started you've always been home."

Izayoi looked at her son. "Oh hush up I just came back from the script reading. It's nice to know you still care for your mother when she actually stays home."

Inuyasha just rolled his eyes knowing that his mother was just teasing. "You know that's not what I mean mom," said Inuyasha as he took them both in a hug. "Now Kagome and I have a date so you'll have to excuse us!"

"Oh a date where are you two going?" asked Izayoi pleased with her son.

"Well actually I wanted to stay here and spend some time with you," said Kagome with a grin as she looked at Izayoi.

"Oh well then come inside! It seems like we haven't seen each other in ages," said Izayoi as she grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. Inuyasha just groaned as he saw the two women walk away from him.

"Are you serious?" he asked as he closed the door behind him and followed the two down the hall sighing out his frustrations.

Kagome left Inuyasha's house around eleven. She spent the majority of the night with Inuyasha knowing that he was feeling like she was leaving him out. They watched a movie and then they went up to his room and hung out. They talked for a while, and then Inuyasha pulled her into his arms. He held her tenderly but kissed her so passionately. She felt so alive in his arms, and when she left she was so wide awake. Inuyasha was reassured and Kagome could go on with her training for her mission which would be enacted soon.

Kagome turned into her street and was soon in front of her house gate. Juromaru and Kageromaru were both standing there with a smile on their faces. They both were able to smell the scent of Inuyasha on her when she rolled down the window

"Why are you two smiling?" she asked.

"We can tell you had a good time today," said Juromaru as he sniffed the air.

"Yes I did, me and my man played tonsil tennis," she said with a grin as he cringed.

"Well that's not something I wanted to know, you little brat," he said as he flicked her on the forehead.

"Kagome, you should head straight to you room and shower, that stench is quite strong," said Kageromaru with a twitch to his nose. Kagome just rolled her eyes as she stuck her tongue out.

"Gramps knows who I'm going out with, he's not stupid. Besides he's not even home; I bet he's still at the hide out dealing with Uncle Kitaru's situation right now," she said unintentionally getting them to quiet down.

Juromaru let out a sigh. "Look Kags you know I got your back for just about anything but I don't know anymore about this one. Look what happened to Kitaru I don't want you to go through the same crap so just let us handle this okay?" he said as he touched her cheek hoping to get her to understand.

"I know Juro, I've heard it enough times," said Kagome in agreement and just asked to open the gate. She drove through and parked in the garage. As much as she wanted to listen to them she needed to do it for herself.

She had planned it out, and in the next two days she would go and find Bankotsu. It would be difficult since she didn't know what he looked like, but she would find him that much she vowed.

Kagome walked into the house and was faced with Kagura. "Kagome how was your date?" she asked with a smile as she put down the book she was reading. Her reading glasses were still perched on her nose as she smiled at Kagome.

"It was fun," said Kagome with a brilliant smile. Kagura grinned when Kagome walked into the room; she could smell Inuyasha's scent all over her.

"I could just imagine," said Kagura with the shake of her head.

"Yup," she said with a grin as she went and sat beside her grandmother. "So where is Haku? I feel like I barely see him around anymore."

"He's with your Gramps at the Hideout. And you're one to talk, ever since I stopped working for your gramps I've been stuck alone in this house with nothing to do. He never lets me come back to the hideout unless it's just a visit."

"I feel your pain," said Kagome with a laugh as she gave Kagura a one armed hug. "Now I'm on my way up to bed because I need to wake up early for school."

"Okay you go to sleep, have a good night sweetie," said Kagura as she hugged her once more. Kagome smiled and went up to her room. She sighed as she jumped onto her bed. She needed to calm her mind some so that she could focus on the mission. She was thinking about the way she would map out the mission when her phone rang.

Snapped out of her stupor she grabbed her phone and saw that it was Inuyasha. She picked it up with a smile. "Hey baby," said Kagome as she looked up at her ceiling.

"Hey, you got home safe?" he asked.

"Yeah got home safe and sound, Gramma and Juro were both able to smell you on me and all they could do was grin," said Kagome with a laugh.

"Did they?" he asked with a choke.

"Yeah, don't worry though they still love you," said Kagome.

"That's good to hear," said Inuyasha with a laugh as he relaxed on his own bed. "I had a good time today Kags. I missed you for some reason."

"Yeah me too; I especially loved the part where we were necking on your bed," said Kagome with an evil grin.

"Yeah well we can do that again some time," said Inuyasha with a laugh once again.

"That can be arranged soon," said Kagome as she turned onto her stomach and rested her head on the pillow. "So Inu can I ask you something? Would you want to have dinner with my family sometime soon?" asked Kagome.

"Dinner, really?" asked Inuyasha surprised at that. Yeah he already met her grandparents but this would be more intimate. "You really want me to have dinner with your family, like just me and your grandparents?"

"Yeah and Haku as well, since he's like my little brother now," said Kagome.

"Of course I'm down, it's just that it's kind of intimidating having a dinner with your grandparents with no one else around," said Inuyasha.

"Oh come on Gramps loves you even though he had some animosity towards me getting to know your parents. It'll be great, you can get to know them better," said Kagome.

"You really think this is a good idea though?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah I think it's the best! Come on Yashie who was the one who said it felt like forever since we last were together?" she teased and heard him let out a breath.

"Okay fine but do you think maybe we can do a full family thing?" he asked hesitantly.

"Oh you mean like you and your parents with me and my family? That sounds like a good idea! Yeah let's do that then! Maybe this way we can make them get along better," said Kagome with a smile.

"Okay so when is this dinner taking place?" asked Inuyasha.

Kagome stopped and thought about it. She was going to finally enact her plan in two days. So she couldn't really be distracted these next two days, then on Friday Inuyasha had his Gig so that was out of the question too. That left Saturday as the closest date.

"How about Saturday, we can have a lunch date and then we'll go grab your parents and then head over to my house? Sound good?" asked Kagome.

"Yeah it sounds perfect!" said Inuyasha

"Okay oh I can't wait it'll be so much fun!" said Kagome with excitement.

"Yeah I can't wait either," said Inuyasha with a chuckle at Kagome's giddiness. Kagome then let out a yawn.

"Okay I'm about to pass out, so I'll talk to you tomorrow at school?" asked Kagome.

"Yeah no problem, sweet dreams Kagome."

"You too Yashie..." murmured Kagome as she hung up and dozed off still in her outing clothes.

All night she dreamed of catching Bankotsu and killing him. Every dream gave her the image of a man with dazzling good looks and familiar blue eyes. She dreamt of a familiar face that gave off a feeling of unease. When she woke up though the next morning the face which seemed so familiar had vanished. She could not remember the person or how he looked. It frustrated her so much. But she had been able to remember the way in which she went about it. The place she was to go and how to get to him without being detected.

She would go stake out the place tonight and then tomorrow would be the big day. Feeling really pumped up Kagome got ready for school. She couldn't wait to put this mission behind her so that she could get on with her life, so that she could have the normal life that her parents wanted for her.

When Kagome got to school she was surprised to see that Ayame was at school too. Kagome approached her with a confused face. Ayame looked pissed off.

"Yame what are you doing at school? I thought you were going to stay with Kitaru until he got better," said Kagome.

"You tell that to him! He forced me to come to school, saying that I was just wasting my day with him in the room," said Ayame with a pout.

"Oh I see," said Kagome.

"Does he honestly think that I'll be able to concentrate on school right now with him hurt and injured back at the hide out!" Ayame spat out in frustration.

"Well you'll be here with Sai and us so maybe you can take your mind off of the whole situation back at the hideout," said Kagome hoping to sound believable even though she felt the same way at the moment.

"Kags how can you of all people say that?"

Kagome let out a sigh. "I was just trying to make you feel better Yame, I still hate Bankotsu's guts," said Kagome with malice.

When Ayame heard his name her eyes went cold. "I hate that guy..." she whispered with cold hatred. Then her eyes went blank. "Kags he's so unpredictable and my dad as lame as he is was one of the most prepared men on the mission and look what it did to him! I don't think this is something we can do on our own," said Ayame.

"What do you mean Yame? You don't want to go after him anymore?" asked Kagome with incredulity.

"Of course I want to Kags but I don't think we can handle this alone, I think we should leave it to your gramps," said Ayame with a frown.

"I..." she let out a sigh. "I guess you're right." Kagome shifted her eyes as she said that. She obviously couldn't do that but with all that happened with Kitaru Kagome didn't want to cause Ayame to feel any more worry than she already does. So she didn't tell her about the plan, even though they decided that they would deal with Bankotsu together, alongside Kouga. Kagome could already see Kouga saying the same thing that Ayame did.

She would have to do this mission alone, and after thinking about it she realized it was the best way, because she would not be responsible for anyone and could focus solely on getting to Bankotsu.

Ayame let out a sigh. "I'm glad you said that! I don't want to lose you or see you get hurt Kags," said Ayame as she pulled Kagome into a tight embrace.

"Don't worry that won't happen," said Kagome as she returned the hug.

Kagome felt bad that she would be deceiving her two best friends but she didn't want to worry them and right now the only thing that was on her mind was to get revenge for her parents. She had all that she needed to take him down and that was what she was going to do. It was lunch time now and Kagome was planning on going to the hideout to fit in as much practice as she could, not to mention get some supplies just in case. She was all ready to go to her car when Inuyasha cornered her on their way back from their history class.

He wanted to have lunch together with the rest of the group. Since Ayame and Sai were back at school today. Kagome sighed inwardly but agreed.

So they were all sitting by the tree outside. Kagome was cuddled up beside Inuyasha. Ayame and Sai were sitting beside Kagome while Sango and Miroku sat in front of them closing the circle. Inuyasha was whispering something into Kagome's ear which caused her to laugh. Then the leaned over and kissed him square on the mouth.

Ayame who was drinking her drink spat it out, as did Miroku and Sango. Sai just looked on in amusement.

"Whoa hold on a second, what the hell was that all about!" asked Ayame.

"Yeah is there something you guys forgot to mention to us?" asked Miroku.

Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and then grinned. "Right we forgot to tell you yesterday! We are going out now!" said Inuyasha with a grin.

Ayame and Sango both let out a loud squeal which caused all three boys to cringe. "OH MY GOD! You guys finally hooked up!" said Sango as she launched herself towards Kagome giving her a tight hug. "Inu I'm so glad for both of you." She hugged as well grinning like a crazy person.

"Nice going Kags!" said Ayame with a hug as well. The whole group was elated by the bit of news that for once in the last three days everyone was happy and smiling.

"Okay enough about us, what's going on with Youkai's Gig on Friday? And are we invited?" asked Kagome with a grin. At the mention of that the guys started talking about their plans for Friday night.

Bankotsu was sitting in his office of Furukawa Transport. It was a normal Thursday morning for him. He went to his nine-to-five job like any other day with a smile on his face, but these last few days he's been highly agitated because of all the movement from Naraku and his assassins. He had his favourite subordinate—Yoshito Higa, only because he was easily frightened—follow around the Higurashi girl. Yoshito had been following her ever since the banquet but he never seemed to find where she lived. It irritated Bankotsu so much not to get that vital information when they were so close.

He had sent Yoshito again last night to keep close to the girl and he was to report to him first thing in the morning. He was waiting for the phone call and as if on cue the phone rang. He picked it up and heard Yoshito's nervous voice.

"Sir this is Higa reporting from the night stake," said Yoshito.

"Yes I've been waiting for your call Yoshito-san, I hope you have some good news this time," said Bankotsu.

"Well I don't know if this counts as good news sir, but the Higurashi girl was staking out Shards. It seems she's figured out that that is our head quarters," said Yoshito.

"Hmm interesting, what did she do there?" asked Bankotsu with a smirk on his face. This was all working well now.

"Well she slipped into the darkened street and searched the whole building. She never went inside but she analyzed all exits and openings. From the way she moved it seemed that she was pretty skilled at strategizing a battle route," said Yoshito with a clear voice. He was quite impressed with the girl.

"Well then I guess she's planning on attacking soon then huh? So tell me did you find out where she lives this time?" asked Bankotsu.

Yoshito hesitated then, he knew that once his boss heard what he was about to say he would get in trouble even if it wasn't his fault. "Well you see sir, she never went home last night," said Yoshito.

"What do you mean she never went home last night?" asked Bankotsu with rage. He clenched the phone tightly in his hand.

"I know it seems rather ridiculous but she never went home last night. She parked her car in a fairly deserted street. She got out of the car and ran off. By the time I pulled over and ran towards her she had disappeared. So I waited all night near her car and she reappeared around half an hour ago, I followed her still and she ended up going straight to school," said Yoshito, weary of what his boss would say. To his amazement Bankotsu started laughing. "Sir...?"

"This has turned out more interesting than I thought it would. Kira and Naraku raised quite a little lady. She caught on to the fact that she was being followed, a mere teenage girl. I can't wait till she attacks. Yoshito-san you can stop following her now. If my assumptions are correct then this girl will be attacking either tonight or tomorrow, and I'll have the perfect gift waiting for her," said Bankotsu.

"Yes sir... is there anything else you would like me to do?" asked Yoshito.

"No, I'll take it from here on out, you go rest Yoshito-san," said Bankotsu as he hung up. He still had a smile on his face when he picked the phone back up and called his brother.

A/N: Well you guys I know it's been over a year, and although I said I wouldn't stop writing my stories for a bit I actually had stopped. But I've actually reread all of my unfinished stories in the last month and have finally gotten the urge to write again! So here it is! It's not as long as the usual ones but I think it works. And yes I know pretty much a filler but I wanted the next part to be in a separate chapter. It'll be intense so I hope you guys enjoy it once it comes out! It will come out soon so tell me how you liked this one. And thanks for reading all of you and reviewing too!

SORRY FOR TAKING MORE THAN A YEAR TO UPDATE! I will make sure that doesn't happen again! After all its summer!
