“ Did you hear about it?” Inuyasha blinked and looked up
from his history homework at the girl stretched out on the floor.
“ Hear what and why is it important enough to interrupt me?”
“ Another one that raided the supposed tomb of Midoriko
died.” Kagome lifted herself up onto her elbows ignoring the obvious jab in his
annoyance. “ Died by fire like the rest of them.” Inuyasha’s ears twitched
slightly as he put his pencil down.
“ You talking about the fire youkai they released when they
opened it? Yeah, he’s been missing for years, but suddenly he’s taking fucking
revenge or something.” Kagome stood up and flopped back onto his bed with a
rough sigh.
“ Myth says that he willingly sealed himself in the tomb
with her to protect her even in death. When they opened it, over half of the
original expedition crew died in a horrific fire. Didn’t people just say it was
just a big rumor because they didn’t really want to say what caused the fire?”
Inuyasha snorted slightly and shrugged.
“ What’s the big deal about it wench? Rumor, myth or not,
why do you care so much?” Inuyasha tossed his book off to the side and he
reached out to pull her up next to him. Kagome didn’t fight him off, adjusting
herself on the headboard with a sigh.
“ It feels… familiar that’s all. I keep thinking I’m hearing
things echoing deep inside. I thought at first it had to do with the damage
Hakudoushi did, but all of that has been long fixed. Someone is… talking to me.
But it’s not really talking. I can’t understand it.” Kagome closed her eyes and
rubbed at her temples.
“ You think it’s possible he infected you with something?”
Inuyasha shifted almost nervously next to her. She had been acting kind of
weird since that night she had pretty much caught him on the phone with Kikyou,
but she hadn’t said anything before. Kagome shrugged slightly.
“ I’ve got some major firewalls. It’s why I survived in the
first place, but this… it isn’t eating at me. It’s almost like—it’s trying to
calm me. Not that I’m upset or anything, but someone else is watching me. I
don’t know if that’s good or bad, or even if it’s physically or just mentally.
Can I even say that… mentally?” Kagome twitched her nose rather cutely.
“ Under most normal circumstances I’d say no, but when it
comes to you—well fuck let’s face it wench. You damn well aren’t normal.
Doesn’t matter what terms you put it in.” He crossed his arms with a scowl,
glaring at the bedspread in front of them. “ But as long as it’s not feeling
like it’s threatening you, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.”
“ I guess. Still… I have a feeling something is going to go
very wrong soon.” Inuyasha frowned and grabbed her hand, intertwining their
fingers together. Kagome glanced down at their hands before looking up at his
amazing golden eyes. ‘Eh stop being to damn sexy…’
“ Together right Kagome?” She gave a faint smile, but nodded
without hesitation. Carefully she leaned over and let her head rest on his
shoulder. ‘Together Inuyasha.We’ll be all right.’
~-*-~
“ Inuyasha doesn’t have any idea we’re doing this does he?”
Sango squirmed in her chair as she leaned over Falx’s back, Miroku leaning over
the other shoulder looking just as guilty, yet determined.
“ No. But I’m determined to trace this. Whoever came after
her the first time, is going to do it again, and that means Inuyasha is going
to be right in the middle of it—knowing him it’d be on purpose too.” Falx
grumbled as he flipped through the logs he had been able to save off of
Inuyasha’s computer.
“ I didn’t know you could trace things like that… is that
even smart? I swear if you blow up my computer Falx…” Miroku growled, doing a
fine impression of his best friend. Falx just waved him off over his shoulder.
“ Kagome said it wasn’t a virus but an AI. So I should be
able to find remnants of it’s coding, like I was able to with Kagome.”
“ I thought you couldn’t find Kagome the first time.” Sango
stepped away from the screen to drop herself on the couch behind her. It wasn’t
as though she could understand anything on the computer screen anyways…
“ That’s because I thought Kagome was a virus. I didn’t know
what I was looking for then. I got to study the effects of Kagome on Inuyasha’s
computer though, so even if this program is a little different I should be able
to find something.” Miroku grimaced slightly and joined Sango on the
couch, though surprisingly enough—just out of touching distance. Sango raised
her brow at him, but Miroku refused to look at her.
Miroku himself was still rather peeved at Sango for agreeing
to do this behind Inuyasha’s back. They didn’t want Kagome getting all upset at
the reminder that she had nearly been killed—deleted whatever. Inuyasha himself
well… if they found something Inuyasha would undoubtedly go berserk and
try and go after this person. Miroku well knew that Kagome was possibly the
best thing to happen to him. He was happier, sulked less—hell even spoke less
about Kikyou and didn’t seem to notice either.
Of course Miroku wasn’t blind either. Even with all their
fights, Inuyasha was so much softer with Kagome than he was even with
Sango. Miroku was rather positive his best friend was falling in love. He
grimaced slightly—Inuyasha didn’t even realize it yet. That was going to be one
interesting talk. Either way, despite Inuyasha’s reaction… he really should be
here for this. He was so protective of Kagome; Miroku couldn’t believe he let
Sango talk him into not telling him.
“ I found it…” Falx’s voice pulled him out of his musing.
Both he and Sango scrambled to the computer screen to still see nothing but
what Inuyasha called ‘alien text’
“ I don’t see it…” Sango breathed, tilting her head a
little. Falx used the mouse to outline a single line of coding.
“ It’s not a person, but it is a company. Never heard of it
though.” Falx sighed and leaned back in his chair.
“ I have.” Miroku sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“ It’s the company Kikyou works for.”
“ Then… the person who wants Kagome—is the reason Kikyou
sent her to Inuyasha in the first place.” Sango backed up from both the boys,
her mouth opening and closing though she couldn’t seem to get anything else
out.
“ If they know where Kagome was, they’re gonna clean
up the rest of this mess—whether she’s alive or not. You don’t send out that
kind of technology without wanting to erase all traces of it.” Falx turned his
chair to face both of them. “ The question is just how close are they to
‘cleaning it up’.”

“ Man that was so not my idea of how to spend the day.”
Bankotsu grumbled, not even bothering to knock on the door to the office as he
and Jakotsu entered the room. Sesshoumaru was seated behind the desk, while his
secretary stood behind him rubbing his shoulders.
“ Bad day my lord?” Jakotsu was always very much the suck
up. Both men took a seat on the opposite side of the desk with a sigh. Bankotsu
looked like he had been run through the mud, and Jakotsu looked like he had
been playing with fire—and lost very badly.
“ Entei did not kill you. I assume he ‘agreed’ then?”
Sesshoumaru sounded even more stoic then ever, but his face twitched now and
then when the girl behind him touched a nerve or stiff muscle in his neck.
“ I… guess. He listened at least. Is everything ready then? She
called earlier and told us the plan. We even got all the letters typed up for
you know who.” Bankotsu held up a folder. Sesshoumaru gave a single nod.
“ It is left up to Entei then. She will need the excuse.
Give him the folder. Kouga said he has got everything set up on his end. We do
not have much time left.” Sesshoumaru waved the two off, leaning back into his
secretary’s hands once the door shut.
“ Sesshoumaru are you alright?” The girl leaned over his
shoulder a little, letting her chin rest at the base of his neck. He could
almost feel the slight twitches of a smile on his face. The damn woman always
did just get under his skin.
“ I am fine. Rin you may return to your duties now.” She
smiled and gave his neck one last firm push before gathering her reports she
had put down earlier to attend to him.
“ If you need anything else just ring me.” She giggled and
hurried out of the room. Sesshoumaru raised his brow slightly almost curiously
at his secretary of one year. ‘I think I just might.’
--
Bankotsu watched as his partner broke off from him to head
off to his desk while he himself entered his own office. Suddenly trekking out
after a very demonic fire horse in the middle of the forest was looking
appealing to repeat. He didn’t want to do this, but he knew he didn’t
get a choice. Anger welled up in the middle of his chest.
“ There you are. Is Sesshoumaru’s secret project ready to be
faxed?” Renkotsu leaned against the doorway to his office. Looking down at the
folder in his hands, Bankotsu let out a low growl before shaking it off. He
smiled up at Renkotsu before holding out the folder to him.
“ Fax away Renkotsu. And make sure no one gets into
these files okay?” Bankotsu fixed him with a glare as he took the folder with a
nod. He knew better. They had known for months… that Renkotsu was the informant
to Naraku—he had just refused to believe it.
~-*-~
“ Why did you insist on dragging that rusty sword with us?”
“ Why did you insist I come with you this time?”
Inuyasha let out a low growl that was meant to be a warning, but Kagome
couldn’t help but laugh and roll her eyes.
“ Fine, fine. Your brother insists I give it to you. But I
know you better than that; you’d never take it. So I do the next best thing…”
Kagome refused to look at Inuyasha, very well knowing the look that’d be on his
face. ‘He thinks I’ve betrayed him because I trust his brother… sort of.’
“ Don’t look at me like that Inuyasha. You may hate him but I do owe him
you know.”
“ Owe him shit… he didn’t save you for the good of it. He
saved you to torture me.” Inuyasha grumped as he led her up the hill through
the trees. He didn’t notice Kagome stopping behind him, one hand resting on her
hip while the other tightened on the sword in her hands.
“ Are you trying to tell me I’m some sort of torture tool
Inuyasha? Something he gave you to annoy the living hell out of you?” Inuyasha
groaned and glanced back over his shoulder at her. ‘Sometimes I wonder….
Keh! You’re gone I go nuts, you’re here I go nuts. He wins either way.’
“ Don’t be stupid wench. If that was the case it’d be far to
easy to get rid of you.” He snorted and motioned her to continue
following. He wasn’t sure why, but he felt he had to do this. He had never even
brought Kikyou here—she wasn’t much for nature, but for some reason he felt
Kagome might appreciate it even more than he did.
Kagome grumbled behind him, looking for a moment like she
seriously might wack him with the sword upside his head, but verily decided
against it. She was rather curious as to where he was taking her. Normally when
Inuyasha disappeared he did so alone. He had practically dragged her off his
bed when this ‘idea’ suddenly struck him. Kagome sighed and trudged along after
him.
After catching him on the phone with Kikyou, he seemed very…
attentive towards her. He had joined her not even five minutes after she had
gone outside, sat in the grass with her most of the night in silence until it
was time for him to get to school. Kagome thought she might explode by that
point… for some reason it made her rather happy that he cared enough.
So now after he had carried her out of Tokyo, they
were walking up hill through a forest. Inuyasha refused to slow down, and every
time she asked why, he simply replied with ‘We’ll be late’. Like that
was really an answer. You couldn’t be ‘late’ in the middle of a damnable
forest. She thanked the stars for once though that she didn’t really have to
worry about fatigue, though she’d probably have to sit in sleep mode for a
little longer than usual to make up this energy use.
“ Inuyasha just how far are we going to go?” Kagome twitched
her nose as she sped up so she could walk next to him instead of behind him. It
would be easier to hit him with the sword if he decided to get cocky she
decided.
“ We’re already here.” Inuyasha came to a stop, leaving
Kagome to take a few steps before him. It merely took her a moment to recognize
just where she was. She blinked several times before lifting her face to the
sky in the clearing. The sun was setting so far off in the distance, spreading
pinks, oranges, and blues across the sky. The colors seemed to bounce off the
clouds, trees, and even the small set of swings in the clearing.
Kagome tried to get her mouth to work, coming closer towards
the edge of the clearing… the cliff. She could see most of city out below them.
‘Wow I didn’t realize just how far he carried me.’ The sun’s
coloring made the city look almost gold. Kagome backed up a little to sit in a
swing, the same one she had been sitting in while she preoccupied Inuyasha’s
dream.
“ It’s… amazing.” Dragging her eyes off scene before her,
she let them rest on Inuyasha. ‘Damn like he wasn’t good looking enough
before.’ The sun didn’t just color the scenery; it splashed Inuyasha with
color too. Well be damned if he didn’t look like a god standing before
her. She could see his muscles all outlined underneath his black shirt with
matching black jeans. His eyes were set on her, the lighting making his eyes
shimmer. His ears twitched now and
then, but he was completely focused on her. “ I… its gorgeous Inuyasha.”
Smirking slightly, Inuyasha simply nodded. He was only
slightly disappointed that he couldn’t smell her reaction as much as he could
see it. He was right; Kagome had the heart to appreciate such a scene.
Kagome looked absolutely beautiful staring at the scene before her. The breeze
slightly playing with her hair, tugging it in random directions while her
bright eyes just took in all she could.
He didn’t expect to get a thank you out of her yet… she
could barely speak, much less speak coherently. Taking up a spot on the swings
next to her, he watched her out of the corner of his eye. Maybe it was because
Kagome wasn’t born—wasn’t originally meant to be so real. Maybe that was why
she enjoyed even some of the simpler things that came with life.
It took most of his power to stay in his seat however when
Kagome looked over at him and gave him the first real smile in days. It
didn’t matter what anyone had said so far, he believed she was really happy.
She really felt it. And that suddenly made it hard to breath for him.
Such a thing only used to happen for Kikyou, and not even to the point where he
couldn’t move.
Kagome felt a blush rush up on her cheeks as he stared at
her. The longer he stared the softer his eyes seemed to become. She had to
force herself to stop staring at him to look back at the setting sun. If he
kept this up, she’d want to jump him. If she had the capability to be aroused,
she would have been. Didn’t stop her however from feeling like she had a heart
for the first time.
“ Thank you…” She finally forced out, but it came out so
softly she wasn’t sure if he heard her. Inuyasha reached out and grabbed her
hand in his, examining it because he knew if he looked up at her, he’d want to
kiss her.
“ No problem.” Kagome almost laughed and rolled her eyes,
looking back at him. That was the best ‘your welcome’ she was going to get huh?
Inuyasha wasn’t smirking, or grinning at her. He was smiling
and Kagome blushed even more, looking at their joined hands as well. The
feeling of content was the first either of them had felt for such a long time.
Though maybe—it was more than that… “ But if you think this is something, I
really should drag your ass back out here on a full moon wench.” Kagome
couldn’t help it. She laughed this time, gripping his hand more tightly.
“ I can’t wait.”

A/n: Sorry for taking so long with this chapter. My
plot bunnies got lost… and then deleted. As Inuyasha would say… KEH! Since I
got a fresh start and for all of you waiting so long, I decided to add the
extra fluff for you instead of the action I was going to do. The plot really
starts to shake up starting next chapter. Pray the plot bunnies stay in their
cage this time! Oh and suggestive song listening for this chapter’s fluff. Imogen
Heap – Can’t Take It In.
