"speaking"

'thoughts'

FD: any author notes (A/N) are the voices in my head interjecting their thoughts into the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Bones or the movie from which this quote was taken.

Pairing: Kagome and Special Agent Seeley Booth. Some things you should know, It's not AU for Inuyasha. It's slightly AU for Bones, Zac was never Gormogon's apprentice. This takes place in place of Season 6. Everything in season 6 never happened, because I just don't like Hannah. Anywho this leaves off after season 5, except Brennan didn't go to the Maluku islands, instead she went to Japan and Booth never went to train the military and Angela and Hodgins never went away either. Now, go forth and read or I shall send Sweets to torture you with pointless pychologic ramblings.

Try Not To

"You want me to what?"

"Go to the US and take my job."

"Why?"

"Well, I'm tired of dealing with murder. I want to get back to the reason I became an anthropologist in the first place and you want to get away from these bodies as they deal with history."

"True. Okay, I'll do it. When shall I go?"

"Well, whenever you want to I guess. I just need to write two letters to Cam."

"I'll finish some things here and leave in a month."

"Okay. I'm going to miss working with you, Kagome."

"I'll also miss working with you, Bren."

~1 Month Later~

Kagome shook herself out of the memory as she followed Jeff, the security guard to Dr. Saroyan's office. She hoped everyone was just as Brennan described. When Kagome looked up, she saw that they were in front of a pretty woman.

"Thank you."

"Jeff said you were here to see me," Cam said.

"Ah, yes, I have two letters for you that explain why I'm here," Kagome replied, while handing her the envelopes. Kagome sat quietly while Cam read the letters.

"So, she sent you here as her replacement?"

"Yes, she believes my unusual method of identifying will be useful for solving murders."

"Well, I hope she's right. I guess you can use her office as yours and since the whole team is here, I'll introduce you to everyone," Cam said as she got up.

"Okay," replied Kagome as she too got up to follow Cam out.

They made their way down the hall and up some stairs where a group of people sat talking.

~FD~

The group stopped talking when they noticed Cam and a young Japanese woman approach them. Sweets was the first to speak.

"You're Kagome Higurashi."

"Ah, yes. You've read my book I take it?"

"Yes, I'm Dr. Lance Sweets."

"Ah, Brennan mentioned you and said if I needed a psychologist you are the one I should go to."

"You know Bren?" Angela asked before Sweets had time to comment.

"Um, ha-yes," Kagome replied and then turned to Cam, "Um, I think you should explain. I start speaking Japanese if I get too nervous."

"Sure."

"Well, you know who Dr. Sweets is. The woman who spoke to you is Angela, our forensic artist. Next to her is Jack Hodgins, Angela's husband and our entomologist. Next to him is Zac a forensic anthropologist but he dislikes going out into the field and finally next to him is Special Agent Seeley Booth, your new partner."

"What do you mean new partner?" Booth angrily yelled.

"Dr. Brennan sent Kagome here to take her place."

"Why?" Hodgins asked.

"Um, she would rather be dealing with 500 year old bodies and I want nothing to do with 500 year bodies anymore."

"Look, just give her a shot. You'll do partners therapy again with Sweets. Dr. Brennan recommended her and as complete faith in Kagome's ability to identify bodies."

Everyone looked dejected and upset that they had to give her a shot. They all resigned themselves and welcomed her to the team.

~3 Weeks Later~

"You are not coming in."

"Yes, I am. It's too dangerous to go in alone. You know I'm a good shot."

Booth placed his hand over his face and replied, "Do us a favor…I know it's difficult for you…but please, stay here, and try not to do anything…stupid."

"I'm not going to do anything stupid."

"Yes, you would, you and Bones are the same."

Kagome paled, furiously wiped her eyes, and growled out, "I. Am. Not. Dr. Brennan. Go, I'll stay."

Booth looked like he wanted to say something but decided against it and instead headed inside. Meanwhile Kagome got out, left him a note and hailed a cab.

~FD~

Kagome got out of the cab and headed into the Jeffersonian. Luckily for her, no one else was there. She quickly went to her office, typed up a note, grabbed one of her books and headed to Cam's office. She left the book and note, then headed back outside to her car and made her way to the Hoover.

Once she was at the Hoover, she made her way in and to Sweets' office. Knocking, she waited until she heard him tell her to enter.

"Hi Dr. Sweets, I was wondering if we could speak."

"Sure Kagome, sit and talk."

"You've read my book right?"

"Yes."

"You know the main character has issues with being compared to someone else?"

"Ah you're being compared to Dr. Brennan."

"Yes, especially by Booth. Thankfully you and Dr. Saroyan haven't. But, the way she described everyone seems like a lie, especially about Booth," Kagome said as she started crying.

Sweets handed her a tissue. "You got away from Japan to get away from being compared to someone only to be compared?"

"Yes."

"You were told that you weren't as good as the original, if I'm going by your book, right?"

"Yes."

"You're leaving."

"Yes, I can't go through that again. It nearly broke me last time. It's why I saw a psychologist back in Japan and Brennan thought to recommend you."

"It's also why you wrote your book?"

"Yep, it was a good way to express how I felt. Anyway, I need to go. It was very nice to meet you Sweets."

"You as well, Kagome. If I may say, you seem better than Dr. Brennan at doing this job. You have a skill for knowing everything about the murders," Sweets replied as he took her hand and shook it.

Kagome, pulled him into a hug, and said "Thank you for saying that. My secret is that I can read auras. Each person has a different one and any object that has been put into a body will not give off the same aura. It's also how I can tell a decent person from a non-decent person."

"Neat trick."

"Yes it is."

"Um, this slipped my mind until now, but weren't you out catching a murderer with Agent Booth?"

"I was but, I left him a note and hailed a cab."

"Ah, okay."

Kagome then proceeded to leave. After a few moments, Sweets left and headed for the Jeffersonian.

~FD~

Cam was shocked as she read the letter. Immediately she headed out, letter in hand and called for everyone to gather.

"Ange, call Booth," she demanded.

"Um, okay."

They all sat in a tensed silence waiting for Booth. When he finally arrived, Cam began.

"I'm disappointed in all of you, especially you Booth. Now, no one interrupt me as I read this letter." She looked to them all and when they all nodded, she began.

Dear Dr. Saroyan,

This is my letter of resignation, no matter how informal. From the way Dr. Brennan spoke of everyone, I believed that this would be the place that I could work without the haunting memories of my past. She spoke of everyone's distinct personalities. As long as I have known her, I have never known her to lie and am shocked to find that no one fit the descriptions she painted me, save for you and Dr. Sweets. There was one person she told me that I could trust and that he would help me, be fair to me and protect me and that was Agent Booth. To me, he least fit the description that I was given.

I left Japan to get away from being compared to another person, more specifically my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. Everything I did paled in comparison to her. I didn't get away from it; instead I was compared to Dr. Brenan as soon as I took over her job. Brennan and I have different ways of identifying and one of the reasons she sent me here was because she thought my way was better than hers for solving murders. I can tell most everything by reading a person's aura. Booth was the harshest. I get that he probably knew her the best, but, it hurt, especially when Booth was probably someone that I could get along very well with. I probably could have gotten along well with everyone.

Anyway, I've left my book for you. It may be fiction, but it explains exactly what I went through and how I feel. I hope to someday see you again. It's been wonderful getting to know you, so I'll say goodbye.

Sincerely,

Kagome Higurashi

"We just lost a very good forensic anthropologist. If this happens again, I will fire you."

Everyone was silent, until Sweets sauntered in.

"Ah, I see you all know about Kagome."

"Yes, you knew?" Cam asked.

"Just now, she came and talked with me."

"Why did you let her go?" Booth demanded angrily.

"It's her choice. Why do you care Booth?"

"I…got used to her."

"But, you still compared her to Dr. Brennan."

"Yes, I know, but there's something about Kagome…"

"You like her," came Angela's voice.

"Actually you all like her. You all liked her right away but you didn't want to, so you all compared her to Dr. Brennan to keep her at arm's length," Sweets said before Booth could deny anything.

"Yes," came for unanimous voices.

"Enough of the psychology Sweets, Ange means that I've…somehow…fallen in love with Kagome, and I believe she's right."

"Yes!" Ange happily yelled.

"Great, she loves you too. Now go find her and all of you convince her not to quit."

"She doesn't love me."

"Yes she does, or you comparing her to Dr. Brennan wouldn't have bothered her as much as it did. Also, she wouldn't have come into my office looking like she had been crying when she should have been with you apprehending the murderer."

"Really? Okay then squints, we got an anthropologist to find."

They headed out and began their search.

~3 months later~

Booth walked down the hall whistling until he got to her office.

"Kagome, you ready? It's lunch time."

"Huh, oh yeah, let's go," Kagome replied as she grabbed her coat then linked her arm with Booth's.

Booth then quickly leaned down and gave her a quick kiss.

"None of that in the workplace," came Angela's voice.

"Oh, come on, we haven't seen each other for a week. There's been no case and I've been swamped with paperwork," whined Booth.

"Stop whining and let's go."

"Yes ma'am."

They headed out of the Jeffersonian and into the sunlight, sharing a loving kiss surrounded by the light of the sun. Angela, who had followed, grabbed her cell phone and took a picture, deciding to paint the scene later and give it to them as a gift.
