Author's note: Okay, so this was a story that has been stuck in my head forever. Everyone knows 007 sleeps with a girl in at least every movie. I thought, maybe he was careless at some point. Anyway, here's my result that clicks through my head. Enjoy!
Brown eyes stared out of a plane window. A paper sits in the girl's hand, crumpled and opened so many times that it was about to rip. The twenty year old girl groaned as she remembered her twentieth birthday as if it happened moments ago. It didn't; it happened six months earlier.
Flashback
"Bye Kagome! Say hi to your mom for us!" shouted three girls, friends of Kagome's. Kagome waved them off as she walked up the steps of her home, a beautiful mansion that had a large yard in front and was two stories high. Kagome opened the door and closed it behind her. She was having a great night and the last few moments before bed, she wanted to spend with her mother.
"Mom, I'm home! Let's not hide from me today. It's my birthday!" she shouted in the house as she walked to the kitchen. Kagome grabbed a glass of water and searched for her mother. She set her glass down and sighed.
"Mom?!" she shouted louder. Kagome knew her mother was home. She had promised and her car was out front. Kagome started to get an uneasy feeling. The house was eerily quiet.
She started to walk faster through the house. Her heart pounded loud in her ears. She came upon the living room, hearing the news chatter and glow in the dark room. The couch faced away from the entrance to the room. Kagome let out a breath of air when she saw the back of her mother's hair. It was curled and dark, but her hair covered her face.
"Mom, you know you shouldn't fall asleep on the couch." Kagome said with a relieved smile. It wasn't the first time her mother had fallen asleep in the living room. She didn't know why she was freaked out earlier. Kagome walked around the couch after turning on the lights. She knelt before her mother and something seemed off about her. She lifted her mother's head. The sight she saw was something that would never leave her head.
Her mother; the woman who gave her life and raised her, That very same woman sat before Kagome, covered in blood that seeped through a neat hole in her head and a slit through her throat. Her eyes were dim and lifeless. Kagome wanted to scream, but it was stuck in her throat. She hadn't realized she wasn't breathing until she gasped for air. Blood was on Kagome's fingers. Not just any blood, her mother's blood. Tears formed in her eyes as she looked at her mother.
She stood up and quickly left the room. Cell phone in hand, she dialed 911. They picked up and was about to put her on hold until she blurted out.
"She's dead! Christine Shall is dead! My mother of twenty years is gone forever! Help! Please! Send someone! Anyone!" she frantically screamed into the phone, tears finally falling down her smooth cheeks. Shaking, Kagome hung up the phone and crumpled to the floor.
End Flashback
Kagome slumped in her seat. She remembered that moment the clearest of all others. The reast was a daze, as if that part did happen years before. Only sometimes did she remember clearly parts of days after. Kagome wanted her mother back, but that wasn't possible now. It was lost to her. The note she held couldn't be explained further to her. Kagome looked at the note she had.
She was clearing out her mother's things after the funeral. She came upon a wrapped box with Kagome written on it. It had a small card that read, "Happy 20th birthday, Kagome!" in her mother's neat handwriting. It was the only and last present she would get from her mother on her horrible birthday. When Kagome opened the present, slowly so she wouldn't miss a thing, she found a letter, also in her mother's handwriting. A picture of her mother and a handsome man, all her birth information, and information on a man named James Bond was included in the box. That name excited and frightened Kagome for some reason. The name was in the letter and who Mr. Bond is was in her mother's letter.
Kagome scanned the letter before re-reading it for the millionth time since she opened the box.
My dear, Sweet Kagome,
I feel it is about time I told you a bit about me and everything about your father. You, of all people, know I started acting after you were born. I've told you so many times before. Before I was pregnant with you, I wasn't even pursuing an acting career. Now, you must keep everything in this letter to yourself. If this gets in the wrong hands, then surely it would be used against your father.
Kagome, I didn't have an average job like every other person. I was a spy for America and England and my real name is Anna Higurashi. I was one of the top! I loved the rush and the feel of helping. It was dangerous and many times I was almost killed.
On one mission, though I met your father on it, was the worst. I can't say much about the mission that brought your father and me together, but I can tell you about the man. Your father is James Bond, spy 007. In this box is a picture of me and him. Since you are twenty now, I have included a bit of information on him. It's the only address I know of and the house could either be empty, in pieces, or being lived in by him now. He may not believe you are his daughter, but at least you will know the truth.
Kagome, I love you and you are the best part of my life, don't you ever forget that.
Love,
Mom
Tears fell down Kagome's face at the last written words. Her mother didn't know she'd be dead after writing the letter. If she was the best, then why did she die?! Kagome shouted in her head. Angrily, she wiped the tears away and looked out the window again. Her hands worked to fold the letter and put it in her pocket. The flight attendant came on the speaker with a friendly tong.
"Please fasten your seat belts. We'll be landing in just a moment…" she continued to talk, but a hand on Kagome's mad Kagome turn to the person next to her. It was a little girl with long dark hair. She wore an orange and white dress with a white pin in her hair. She looked about eight. The girl removed her hand quickly, embarrassed that she touched a stranger. The girl's brown eyes looked up at Kagome. Kagome could see the fear inside the eyes of the little girl. It pained Kagome to see a scared child. She always had the instinct to help right away. She never knew why, but she stopped questioning her actions when she never could find her answer.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you" said the little girl quietly. Her voice was shaking and her eyes kept that frightened look in them.
"No, no it's fine. Are you afraid of landing?" Kagome said, a motherly tone emerging. The girl nodded slowly.
"My parents died in a plane crash. The officer said it was having landing trouble. I'm not supposed to know. I heard it from an officer who came to my auntie's house. My auntie doesn't want me though." The girl spoke rapidly. Kagome had to take a moment to hear and understand what the child was saying. For a child who lost bother her parents, she seemed mature about it, more comfortable than Kagome who only lost one.
"I'm sorry to hear that," she said softly. The attendant came on again and said they were landing. The girl grabbed Kagome's hand again. "You know what? I love dogs. What's your favorite type of dog?" Kagome started and caught the girl's attention. The fear was gone and the child was telling Kagome the good and bad of dogs. Kagome managed a smile when the girl was successfully distracted. The girl didn't even notice when the plane stopped.
"Get your things, it's time to leave." Kagome spoke softly and the girl looked around. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw people standing.
"Oh… I didn't even notice…" she said quietly to herself and suddenly jumped up, proud of herself for surviving the landing.
Kafome managed another smile, helping the little girl with her things. Kagome slipped the letter into her pocket. The girl was let in behind a man. Surprising Kagome, the child grabbed Kagome's sleeve, tugging her along. Kagome followed since a gap was open to her. Once off the plane, the two girls gathered their suitcases and found an open spot.
"So, who is here to pick you up…?" Kagome started.
"Rin and a distant cousin is. They are going to take care of me for a while." Rin said and looked around.
"Here… I'm Kagome. If you ever need me again, call me." Kagome handed Rin a piece of paper with a phone number on it.
"Thank you, Kagome!" Rin said with a smile. Her name was called and Rin hugged Kagome. "Bye Kagome!" she called as she ran off to a man dressed in black.
"Bye Rin!" Kagome replied.
Kagome was now alone with her thoughts. Images of her mother filled her mind. They flashed before her eyes.
"No More!" she shouted to her head. People around her stared and rushed past as they thought she was crazy. Kagome sighed again, something she was starting to do more of recently. Looking down at her things, she seemed to have everything. She pulled out a few papers and looked them over. She already had a hotel room reserved. Kagome grabbed her bags, heading out of the airport. She called a taxi and told him the hotel she was staying at.
Forty-five minutes later, she paid the driver and was in her room after getting her key. She was on the fifth floor, Room 127B. The hotel was as close as she could get to her father's home. Kagome turned her TV on and went into the bathroom. After her shower, Kagome slipped into bed. She would need as much energy as she could get for tomorrow. She didn't know how her father would react to seeing her. Hell! She didn't even know how she was going to react to seeing him for the first time.
Kagome flipped through the channels, settling on some local news.
"A very generous donation was given to the New Hop Orphanage today by James B. Barsley." The anchor announced and a picture of a man came on the screen. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes. It looked like an older version of her father in the picture her mother gave her.
"Wow! Time never seemed to have changed him much." She said to herself. "But why did she say a different… oh, yeah, he's a spy. He's probably getting older and doesn't want to be found; just like… her." Kagome couldn't even say her name anymore. Not even the real one that was said in the letter. She felt like she was pathetic. She didn't know what emotion was the right one. She did know she wanted revenge. Whoever killed her mother would pay.
With that last thought, she turned off the TV and closed her eyes. She was flooded with memories. When she was finally asleep, the tears she just cried for her mother dried up.
A few blocks away from the hotel, a man passed the living room of a large mansion.
"Why, after changing almost everything, would you put yourself in the spotlight with your new identity and picture?" asked a frustrated, pacing man. His long silver hair flew back as his pace quickened.
"I see no problem with it. All I did was give money to an orphanage. Also, being in the spotlight after retirement is something that was done before like that actress, Christine Shall. She is doing very well I believe. I haven't talked to her since our mission, but she retired soon after it. I think I'm doing equally fine." said a man sitting on the couch. A smile filled his face as he remembered the woman. "Wonderful woman" he commented as his brown eyes twinkled. His dark hair was pushed back, a perfect mess on his head.
"Sometimes, I'm just surprised you don't have a billion children running around the world, James" the silver haired man sighed. His golden eyes looked at James on the couch. The sadness that was there reminded him that James did have a family once. That was until they were killed.
"I'm careful, as should you be when it ever comes down to it." James said with a sad tone in his voice. "Sesshomaru, I'll be fine. You need to just focus on your training."
"Yes, Sir!" Sesshomaru said with a salute.
"Stop with the formal salute!" James laughed, his mood quickly changing. "Turn on all the alarm systems and check all cameras to make sure they are on. Get some sleep and training will be at noon tomorrow." James said and with a sigh from Sesshomaru, he smiled.
"Goodnight, James" Sesshomaru mumbled and walked off.
James stood and headed for his room. He had tested Sesshomaru several times till he believed Sesshomaru could handle checking the grounds and the cameras. James used to pretend to go to bed and would instead use secret hallways in the mansion. He would arm himself and dress in dark clothes. Once he felt it was safe, he would sneak out far enough to sneak his way back inside. Every time he did, either alarms went off or Sesshomaru would catch him. James felt that he made the right choice in an apprentice now.
He didn't see a need in testing Sesshomaru tonight so, he went straight to bed, his room secure.
Sesshomaru checked everything and for two hours, he watched the screens, looking for anything he could that would be a threat. Once he was satisfied, he headed to bed for enough sleep that would keep him alert when he woke.
