Most Important Mission
By: Sakura Katsana
Disclaimer: Sighs Do I have to? It makes me feel depressed.
Lawyers: Yes unless you want to be sued blind.
Sakura: Fine. Sticks out tongue I don't own Inuyasha - YET. Smirks That's not against the law, so there.
Lawyers: -.- Fine...
A/N: I'm glad they're gone. I'll be posting the next chapter soon, I promise. I can promise to update all PLANNED multi-chapter fanfics tomorrow because of school being closed! (Something every girl is happy to hear)
Enjoy and please R&R!
A strong breeze blew through the street, scattering autumn leaves from their places in the gutters. The streets were silent as a girl looked at the clock by her bed. It was three in the morning. "Perfect."She silently left her bed and crept across the room until she reached the door.
The teenager's long black hair helped her hide in the shadows as she crept past her mother's bedroom and towards another's. She crept towards the door and turned the knob. As if on cue the younger girl turned away from the door in deep slumber allowing her elder sister to put her plan in the works.
The older girl crept to a small metal case and grabbed it. Luck was on her side tonight... not a soul even made so much as a groan on her way out.
She had what she wanted.
She ran as fast as possible until she reached the forest. A pair of green eyes leered at her from behind a tree.
"Did you bring it?"A cold voice rumbled through the early morning darkness. His fire red eyes glared from his hiding spot.
"Yes." The girl nodded curtly. "But I have changed my mind. I don't wish for your money, just possessing this brings me that."
"What did you say?" He hissed, stepping out from the trees. "I've offered you more than you could spend in a lifetime!"
"I do not wish for money as much as I wish for power." She scoffed, "You disappoint me Naraku."
"Do not tempt me girl." Naraku growled. "I can easily kill you right here and take the jewel for myself."
"But you wouldn't would you?" She smirked, "because it's bound to me. Seeing me dead would surely be the reason it would lose its power."
He scanned her face, trying to catch any hint of a lie, but for the life of him he couldn't. Since when was the Shikon Jewel ever bound to anyone? But... he had never been so close to it as to find out.
"What do you want?" Naraku eyed her over carefully.
'He actually fell for it... the greasy oaf...'
"I already said that I wish for power. Give me some and you'll get this in return. I think it's a fair trade." She smiled and turned once more to leave the dark forest. She shook the case lightly allowing the contents to tap the sides, "You can find me at our usual meeting spot."
"I'll be sure to..." Naraku pounded a fist into the tree and it exploded into splinters. "...Kikyo."
The sun shined directly into her eyes, causing Kagome to wake. With a laugh she jumped out of bed. Kikyo was supposed to take her to Tokyo Zoo today. Kagome raced to her sister's room, still trying to change into a jumper. "Kikyo! I'm ready to go to the z-" Kagome looked around her sisters room, the bed showed someone had slept there, but she had a strange feeling. Kikyo was gone.
Kagome raced to the kitchen hoping to see her sister sitting eating breakfast. She wasn't there. "KIKYO?" Kagome yelled, running outside. No luck.
Even though she was only a little girl, a strong sense of dread washed over her. Such strong emotions were probably from having the sacred Jewel in her care for so long. Without realizing it, she flew up the stairs.
As she reentered her room she realized something was missing.
"Where is it?" Kagome looked all around for the small metal case. It wasn't the best way to hide it, but Kikyo helped her. She knew.
"Kikyo, why'd you do this?" Tears began to fall. "Why did you take it from me? We were supposed to protect it together..." Kagome flung herself onto her bed in anger and sadness and betrayal. The last one stung the most. After all this time, she had stolen it. Kagome knew it. Kikyo had been taking much more than a light interest in the jewel for a while, and know Kagome knew why.
Kagome sighed in content, allowing the fresh spring air to engulf her. "Hey Miroku, how's it going with that girl... Akane?"
"Please Kagome, I'm not one to talk about my relationships."
"Liar, you know you want to." Kagome grinned, bending over to tie her shoe.
Almost as soon as she did so, she realized that was a mistake. As if reading her mind, she felt a hand touch her in an unauthorized area.
"Miroku you hentai! Get your hand off right NOW!" She shoved him away in pure disgust, folding her arms defiantly over her chest. "Will you ever change? I mean... will you?!"
He put his hands up defensively, "Sorry, but just because you're my best friend doesn't mean you aren't attractive," Miroku put on his best innocent act and he continued walking by her side. It was best to change the subject. "Let's just say Akane decided that we are not going to see each other for a while."
He was fidgeting. Something was wrong, more so than the 'break' they were going through.
"Aw Miroku, what happened?"Kagome opened up her shoulder bag and offered him some Pocky.
"She found someone else," his words were muffled by his chewing.
"Who?" Kagome pounded her fist into her hand. "I'll make em wish they never laid eyes on Akane."
"Whoa! Calm down, calm down. I can fight my own battles, thank you very much. Just some guy, I have no clue. Don't really care anymore anyway, she was acting weird lately."
"I'm sorry Miroku. I'll tell you what,"she smirked, "I'll let you beat me at practice today."She beamed at her self-proclaimed brilliant plan.
"Excuse me? I could beat you anyway."Miroku held his head high. "You have offended my honor, Kagome," he feigned hurt. "I wish I could beat you myself but I am just too pathetic."
"Gods Miroku,"Kagome laughed, "How come it's so hard to tell you're joking?"
"Humph."He joked, putting his arm on her shoulder. "Watch out in practice today."Miroku warned holding back his laughter.
"Well, I gotta go to class. You're meeting me here ne?"Kagome waved walking up the hill towards her first class of the day.
Math.
She'd always hated it.
"Uh huh, see you then!"Miroku returned the gesture and continued down the path to another part of the college.
"Hey Miroku, guess who I saw with Akane in class today?"Kagome appeared out of nowhere by the guy's side and nudged him in the ribs.
"Jakotsu!"Kagome began to burst out laughing like a maniac as a couple quickly rushed by.
"Jakotsu?"Miroku cracked up. "I always thought he was, um, how can I put it politely? Not like you or I,"He plopped down on a bench underneath a cherry tree and looked at Kagome.
"So did I! I saw them in a strong lip lock by my class and knew I must be wrong!"She plopped down beside her friend.
"B-but he wears eye shadow!"Miroku couldn't help but laugh. "He wears eye shadow, blush, everything Akane wears!"
Kagome smiled after finally gaining control of herself. "Well at least now they can share a make-up bag."She looked at Miroku's trying-to-be-serious face that was slowly turning into a grin.
"Well I guess that proves I'm a loser, she picks a gay guy over me."He sighed getting up. His eyes held some sadness but some humor mixed in with it.
"No it doesn't, it proves she needs mental help,"Kagome gave him a reassuring from-the-side-hug and they began walking to their destination.
Kagome had been training since she was seven. It was an agency working for the government of Tokyo. Ever since two recruiters came for her that day when her sister betrayed her trust and stole the Shikon Jewel. The Shikon Jewel had the power to destroy entire countries, which made it valuable, and the holder was considered to control the world. She knew who had it and she was looking for revenge.
That day a man and woman had come to the Higurashi Shrine and told her mother and grandfather that it was important that she come with them. Her mother grudgingly agreed after tons of tears from both her and her mother. After that she was taken to a top-secret base to be trained to defend Tokyo and most importantly defeat her sister to regain the Shikon Jewel.
Kagome had lived at the agency's base since then. She knew all the agents and all the areas. She would have time to go exploring after studying and training. Then when she was ten she met another kid who had been brought from his home to begin training for a very important mission. His name was Miroku. Kagome showed him all the areas that they should have never seen and showed him the ropes. They had become great best friends and Kagome had learned his reason for coming was because of Naraku.
Miroku stopped at the bank and walked behind it over to a broken ATM. He slid in his ID card and stood back so the hidden camera could identify it was him. He counted to five acting as if he was fiddling with his watch then walked back over to the ATM and pushed in four numbers and spoke clearly, "This ATM is broken."
Kagome couldn't help but laugh as he said this because it was obvious it was by the OUT OF ORDER sign placed on it. She watched as a hole opened underneath him and he jumped through. Kagome sighed and walked over to do the same. After the same steps were repeated Kagome jumped through the hole and slid through a tunnel.
"What took you so long?"Miroku frowned jokingly as he bent over to get some tea from the table.
"Shut up."She sighed and plopped into her own chair waiting for their trainer to enter. "So. Any ideas on how to beat me?"She punched his arm.
"I don't need any because I already know that I'm going to."Miroku laughed but returned to a serious face as their trainer entered the room.
"Hello Higurashi, Ayushima."The trainer sat down behind his desk and drank some tea.
"Hello Myouga."Miroku and Kagome said in unison.
"Well, I guess you two should start practicing. After all Kagome, your next mission is coming up."Myouga smiled at her and then looked at Miroku. "You better be practicing if you're going to be ready to fight Naraku."
"I'll be ready to fight that bastard, do not worry Master Myouga."Miroku clenched his fists tighter than they already were when Myouga had mentioned Naraku's name.
"Well I'm glad."Myouga chuckled. "You can go change now."He smiled and walked towards the training rooms. Kagome and Miroku walked to the changing rooms all the time poking each other in the ribs. They separated into the men and woman changing rooms and changed.
They met up in a hallway that merged from the two changing areas. Kagome wore a black mostly-skin-tight suit with black fighting boots and her hair in a high ponytail. She wore a silver breast plate just incase and a silver belt at her waist. Kagome wore her quiver and held her silver collapsible bow.
Miroku wore black pants and a long-sleeved shirt with an off-black chest plate. Along with an off-black belt at his waist. Miroku still wore a low ponytail and held his staff in his right hand. They walked still poking one another until they came to a door which led them into their training room.
The walls were made with different materials for each. The southern wall was made of wood, the western metal, the northern rubber, and the eastern rock. There were obstacles all over to cause the agents to become more agile.
"Well good luck to both of you, I'll be watching from my normal area," Myouga looked up towards a small observation room above the fighting grounds. Myouga nodded one last time and left.
"I'm gonna win."Kagome smiled at her best friend. Kagome clutched her collapsible bow tighter and secured her quiver.
"You. Wish."Miroku had a competitive gleam in his eyes. Miroku walked closer to her from his starting side and held his staff at the ready. "You Ready?"He grinned.
"Ready."Kagome returned the look and jumped into the air. Miroku rushed at her as she grabbed an arrow from her quiver in midair.
"Nice."Miroku knocked the arrow away with his staff and pulled it's top away from him causing a spear to come from inside his staff. He threw the staff into the air as Kagome knocked it away with part of her bow.
"Nice yourself."Kagome complimented as she rushed at him. As she did so Miroku flipped his staff to the other end, which contained six small rings. Kagome karate-kicked towards Miroku as he knocked her down with his staff.
"Oh come on Kagome!"Miroku urged her on as he leapt up as she tried to trip him. "I thought you were just kidding about letting me win!"He swung his staff aiming for her legs and hit. "Miroku one. Kagome zip."
"Damn..." She muttered, falling to the ground. But she looked up just in time to see his staff flying towards her. She did a back flip into the air and landed behind him. Kagome tapped his shoulder and grabbed an arrow to lodge in her bow. She pointed it at his head and paused. "Kagome evens the score." She jumped into the air as Miroku's staff lunged at her from the side.
"That's what I'm talking about."He laughed as he ran towards her. He felt his hand lose grip of his staff. With a bemused frown Miroku whirled around, his staff being forced to the wall by Kagome's arrow.
"Gods Kagome!"Miroku breathed heavily, "Your arrow pierced the stone!"
"I know. Hard core practice."Kagome smiled and continued to run towards him. "Oh, by the way. Kagome two. Miroku one."She grinned devilishly. She jumped into the air and kicked at him. 'How did I manage to do that?' Kagome shrugged it off continuing their practice.
"Well THAT needs some work."He laughed as he grabbed one of her arrows flying towards him. "Thanks."He threw the arrow towards her as she caught it in her bow and re-fired.
"You need to show me how you do that one day."Miroku panted as he jumped into midair to combat her kicks with his own. They landed at the same time and began hand-to-hand combat.
After what seemed to be hours Myouga entered the room to see two sweaty agents still going at it.
"Kagome 34. Miroku 33."Kagome panted and loaded another arrow. "Let's make that 35."
"You wish."Miroku repeated for the fifth time that day and lunged at her with his rescued staff. He threw it forward, ran behind Kagome, and jumped up in midair to catch it as it passed her.
"Good job. I'm impressed, I haven't seen any better from the two of you." Myouga smiled and tossed them both a bottle of water, which they caught graciously. "Kagome, your arrow skills are improving. To be able to put that much strength into shooting an arrow so that it breaks through stone is a rare gift."Myouga chuckled as he looked at the disappointed Miroku. "Do not worry boy, your staff skills have improved rapidly! The way you can easily retrieve it shows that you and your weapon have a bind."
"Bind?"Miroku looked confused as did Kagome. "How can I have a bind with my staff?"
"If you use a weapon for a long enough period of time, are loyal to it, use it well, and show remarkable skills with it, Masters of the Arts say that is a Weapon Bond."Myouga smiled. "And it seems you two have bonded to your weapons perfectly.
Kagome looked at her silver bow, she felt like it belonged in her hands and in combat. She guessed this was what it felt to have a Weapon Bond. She felt like she was ready for anything.
