Chapter 16

Naraku Onigumo, the supposed stiff I was being accused of murdering, was sitting in front of my desk alive and well mind you. Smirking like the cat who ate the canary.

I was stunned like what the hell! But then it was like I knew he wasn't dead!

"So, Nar-arku. What brings you here this mighty fine Monday afternoon?" I asked pinching myself on the thigh underneath my desk to make sure I didn't doze off.

I do that like every Monday around 2, never fails.

"I just wanted to see the Real Estate Agent that was selling my house and see if she wanted to accompany me to lunch," he said nonchalantly.

"Lu-lunch? Well that is really sweet but I-," I was interrupted by someone opening my door.

Thank God for small favors but rude much.

"Hey Kagome, I need to- you are suppose to be dead! I mean! Hi my name is Clive Freeman, Kagome's per-boy-fiance. We just got engaged and I keep forgetting to call her that. Eh, Kagome?" Inuyasha I mean Clive, Clive said to me.

Where in the world did he get that name from? My brain was having a hard time processing everything that was going on. I guess everything was going to fast or I was just not firing on all cylinders because this was a lot to process on a Monday.

Monday is like the unwritten law of non-gist having day.

"Yea, Clive I mean Mr. Onigumo. I am engaged and he is here to take me out to lunch," I said oh so smoothly.

If he believe the shit we selling I am in the wrong business. Need to be a lemon used car salesman.

"I guess we can all go to lunch, right Special Agent Takahashi," Naraku said while crossing his legs.

At this point I wasn't even surprised that he knew Inuyasha's real identity because Clive? Really?

"Naraku, well. Why aren't you downtown chilling on the slab in the morgue at Cityview Shard Hospital?" Inuyasha asked.

Yeah that is a valid question because I spent the better part of my Sunday being shown horrendous pictures that I am still unaware if they were men or women.

"I think that this conversation should be taken out to lunch. Meet me downstairs where we can talk in private because there are ears everywhere," Naraku said.

Okay. I think I am being accustomed to this secrecy bull because I wasn't totally freaking out that my office is really bugged but hey what else is new, right?

Yea, not freaking out...nope not me...following the sarcasm.

Inuyasha, Naraku and I rode the elevator down after I told Miroku that I was going to lunch, with a client and my new personal assistant that I had totally forgot that I hired. The messed up weekend was at fault.

We get into Naraku's Mercedes (I freaking orgasm every time I think about this car) and he drives us down the street towards The Boulevard.

The Boulevard is an area where the local vendors or those that are trying to break out into the food industry, go and set up shop in their food trucks. Its a really nice set up. They are organized into different sections depending on their cuisine. Food Trucks were arranged in semicircles to be able to see what the options were. The prices were really cheap but the portion size doable. It was enough for a teaser. So spending 10 bucks could get you a lot of food and a decent variety.

We split apart according to what we had a taste for. Inuyasha and I went for German and Naraku went for American.

We met back up where there was some wooden picnic tables that gave privacy to us but still slightly busy area. We sat down and dug into the food and drinks.

"So, what did you have to tell us that you was afraid that my office was being bugged?" I asked after I was done with my Honey-Mustard Chicken Wings.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked around to make sure other ears weren't listening in to our conversation. He leaned in towards us, I guess he felt secure that we were not being listened to.

"First off, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Detective Naraku Onigumo Hikaru. I am not a drug lord by trade. I am actually an undercover police office with the HVPD Division 7 for the last four years. I made my way to the top of the Black Widow but I am not running it actually. My contact person, Thomas Martin, was found reportedly missing and with dental records was found in the morgue under the name Naraku Onigumo. His cause of death was drowning but he had two gunshot wounds in his upper body. I immediately went into hiding and began searching for you, Kagome," Naraku informed us.

I know my mouth was hanging open.

"Why? Why did you come to me for? Do you have any idea why Detective Thomas was even in my closet?" I asked still trying to process this.

Naraku is a cop like Inuyasha but was undercover. He wasn't the big bad wolf like so many people believed.

"You was the last person outside of my circle that was in my house. The goons that "work" for me caught you on camera going down to the basement but not coming back up until way after I had to kill that snitch. They also saw us in a very intimate position and assumed you were my new girlfriend," Naraku said.

I heard Inuyasha choking on...air? What the heck is he so shocked for? Yes other men find me attractive even if their line of work is questionable.

Oh boy.

"When you say intimate what do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

I looked at him. He was totally missing the point of the conversation.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked Inuyasha.

"I just want to know about the person I am sleeping with," Inuyasha said tracing, nope stabbing, the pattern on the table cloth.

"Oh, we did...stuff. Just know she is good at what she does. She makes you want to open yourself to all the possibilities and promises she can offer. She is very persuasive," Naraku said smirking and Inuyasha digging deeper in the table.

I was stunned. Like kill me now because Naraku is signing my death certificate and I don't know why. I heard Inuyasha growl and could have sworn I heard, 'mate punish' come from his mouth. The fuck?

"Getting back on subject," I said trying to bring us back from the chased white rabbit.

Naraku grabbed my hand and started to rub the back of my hand in slow circles. Inuyasha's side of the table top started to dwindle into a hole.

"I know you think I am a deplorable person. You don't know how much it hurt me to kill that child. I did it because she was going to suffer more, it was a mercy kill. The wife was already about to die, she had another month to live and the child had 6 months to live as well," Naraku continued.

Inuyasha and I gave him a questionable look. I wanted to know again why was I involved? I am a normal citizen. Ok, as normal as you can get citizen. Why am I learning this information? I know not even thinking about the small family. Hey I am trying to survive in this small ass world just like everyone else. It's called self-preservation and I am sucking at it as it seem.

"We didn't find a mother or child's body? What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked and had the nerve to look at me.

I looked back. What?

"I thought I told you about that," I said and he raised his eyebrow.

"Well if you wasn't going all macho cop and threatening me that day I would have finished telling you. You deleted my videos that I had recorded. Oh my Bob! Is that the reason I am involved because I know too much?" I asked.

I was starting to freak out. I just wanted to take a video of the basement. I didn't mean to stumble on a secret execution or exchanging of drugs and mercy killings.

"They was given this virus that some mad scientist was cooking up in his lab. He needed test subjects to see how fast it would progress in a human body. It's to be sold on the black market at a ridiculous price to make turf wars go from guns to bio-hazard. Tony offered up his wife and kid because he caught her cheating on him with a fairly nice dude from her hospital she use to work at, a Dr. Hojo Kibbles. The girl, her name was Sophie, called Dr. Kibbles dad because Tony was a deadbeat. He was trying to work his way up the food chain and become a don like me. He is or was after my sector that I was overseeing. "

Ho-Hojo Kibbles?!

So that guy Tony was setting people up to get them killed so he could further progress his career as a criminal? I wonder who else he was blackmailing. Who was making him do it, who was the ring leader?

That stuff that I got from the security deposit box was becoming clearer and heavier on my subconscious.

"So let me get this straight. Not only are you not the leader of the Black Widow but you are also a brother in blue. So the informant I was using was actually the one that was setting people up?" Inuyasha said knocking down three fingers from his hand. He was trying to piece it together.

My thing is how do we know he isn't lying and trying to set us up? Like seriously why is he telling us this?

"Why am I telling you guys this?" Naraku asked.

"Yea, that question was swirling around in my head," I said to him and Inuyasha was shaking his head in affirmation.

"Well, I am going to disappear for awhile since a hit was put on my life i.e. the stiff that was found in your bedroom. It was a clear message that they can get anybody and get to anywhere. I also know that you got some items from Tony's security box. When he said "Naraku! I know your dirty secrets and I have hidden them! Some that you don't know,"Naraku said taking a swig of his sweet tea.

I remember him saying that, and I wish I had Inuyasha's cell phone number because I would text him that.

"I found out that he had a file on me. He tried once to blackmail me but he lost a toe in the process. He showed me the other people that he had a file on so that they could give him money and also increase his leverage as being a better dom than me. Your brother's wife was apart of that file on me. We had a fling and it didn't last long. But you, my sweet Kagome, I am very interested in," Naraku said reaching for my hand.

Inuyasha grabbed mine and stuck out a fang.

"Oh, so she is really your-,"Naraku began to say but Inuyasha gave him a very cold stare.

"What kind of information did Tony have? Do you know who else was a dom in your group that we could talk to or rub elbows to see who is the real head honcho?" Inuyasha said still holding my hand.

Possessive much? Like what's so good about my hand? I know I'm bias because yeah its mine but why is everyone else so interested in it? Vanity, I am not ashamed!

"The next guy that was ahead of me, sorta like my mentor or whatever, his street name is Bubba the Hammer," Naraku said.

"Bubba the Hammer? Seriously what's so scary about him?" I asked.

"He deals with the girls. Sex trafficking and all that sort. The whores that are on the street in the Green Gem district or the bad side of the tracks near Mesa and Harley those two blocks are apart of our sector for prostitution. His killing style is where he gets his name. He kills his male victims with a hammer and he rapes the women in the man's life and hammers her to death while he is climaxing. His favorite area is her esophagus," Naraku said looking at me directly in the eye.

Note to self, don't piss off Bubba the Hammer.

"Where can we find Bubba? Is he the top person?" Inuyasha asked writing this on a napkin.

"No, he just been in longer than me and this other guy in our circle, Pyro Chaos. His specialty is arson. His warehouse was where the virus drug was being made but they moved it to somewhere else. You have to get in good with Bubba before Pyro will accept you,"Naraku said.

"How will we get in good with Bubba to get with Pyro to find the virus? What about the drugs, the sex trafficking?" Inuyasha asked.

"Bubba owns a strip club there on Mesa and Harley. Anything goes, the girls are full nude and it has a hookah service. Its called Pink Bikini Bar. You have to bring a kinky bitch with you that could out perform his whore White Diamond," Naraku said.

"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

I think I heard of this strip club from Miroku. He was raving about it and now I know why. I know your dirty secrets Miroku.

"White Diamond is his main squeeze. If she likes you, he will like you. Through him you will be able to get ahold of every trap house, warehouse, and whore house that is apart of our sector. He is also the representative that knows about the other doms in the six sectors that are on the same level as us. He also knows the guy that we have to talk to. I don't even know his name. He is some big shot and that he is a demon. That's all I know. I am getting too deep in it and I needed this out. I got it and I am going to take it. I'll give you my number so you can contact me so I can guide you or whatever. But to stop the killings and get the drugs and especially this virus off the street you have to get the head of the Black Widow," Naraku said.

I was just waiting for him to say 'do you accept this mission because this message will detonate in 10 seconds.' I look at too much t.v.

"How do we make it seem like we are legit. Remember you are suppose to be dead. How do I get in?" Inuyasha asked finally releasing my wrist.

Naraku took off a gold ring, that I didn't notice, off of his neck. He handed it to Inuyasha and began to explain the ring.

"That ring is what doms pass to their successor. I know that I am still in the good graces of Bubba. He respects the ring. Again Pyro only accepts after Bubba and I told you how to get in the good graces of Bubba. Gotta get a girl to perform and get Diamond to accept her. Once she does then you are in. Mind you he isn't going to divulge every secret to you but he should give you the rundown of what's going to happen in your sector," Naraku said pointing at the ring.

"Basically, Inuyasha is going to be taking over your spot then? How would the guys feel that was under you feel about that?" I wondered out loud.

"They don't care. As long as they get paid, Mickey Mouse could be their boss. Their loyalty is to whoever has the ring and whose close to them," Naraku said gathering his trash.

Inuyasha was studying the ring and put it in his pocket. He was accepting the job?

Both men looked in my direction. I turned behind me to see where they were looking at. There wasn't anything special behind me. Why were they looking at me?

"Is there something between my teeth or something?" I asked sucking my teeth and looking at my teeth from the reflection of the silver knife I had.

"How is your strip tease skills?" Naraku asked.

An evil smirk crept on Inuyasha's mouth. I gulped. I am totally moving away to a different state because they got me fucked up.

"Why do you need to know my dancing skills? I dance like I have two left feet tied together at my ankles. My rhythm is so bad I make a drunk monkey seem like a ballerina. No, nope not even going to happen," I said crossing my arms.

"We'll see about that," Inuyasha said.

Humpf, what the hell ever.

"What about Bad Breath Betty? Isn't she like your partner or something? Why can't she be your arm candy or whatever," I said.

Yes throwing that bitch under the bus.

"Bubba wouldn't accept her. She wouldn't fit in and I don't like her like that. Plus, she isn't my partner," Inuyasha said with a red tint across his nose.

"What does she look like?" Naraku asked.

Inuyasha got his phone out and I assumed scrolling through his gallery to find a picture of the bitch.

He showed it to Naraku and Naraku laughed.

"You need a woman that Bubba would fuck if Diamond wasn't around. He wouldn't touch that with a 10 inch stick. Why is her eyebrows almost connecting? Her mustache is wow. She sure is short and stocky. Yea, sorry Kagome. But it looks like it's going to be you. Plus you look similar to a woman I use to bring around. Kikyo or something like that. Diamond was fond of her," Naraku said handing back Inuyasha's phone.

Mother fucker.
