Absolute Power Corrupts, Absolutely

Chapter 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the heart of downtown Tokyo, a yelling match was disrupting the offices of the Youkai Prime Minister. Humans and demons alike were all avoiding the office where the inu tai youkai and the inu hanyou were verbally killing each other.

 

 

"Blow it out of your ass, Sesshomaru, I don't want another dim witted, doesn't know coffee from tea, bimbo of a personal assistant. That Mitsubishi girl didn't know how to use a tape recorder, much less a fax machine." Inuyasha Taisho yelled as he paced in front of Sesshomaru's large desk. He spent twenty minutes trying to get out of this.

 

 

Sesshomaru growled at the hanyou. He didn't want to tell Inuyasha that the personal assistant was really an undercover cop; that would spoil all of the hard work the police department was trying to do. 'Damn it, why must that insolent half-breed constantly question me. Isn't being the youkai prime minister supposed to give me some respect?'

 

 

"Inuyasha, as the ambassador of Japan, your schedule fluctuates too much for you not to have an assistant. I have hired you a more then worthy assistant by the name of Higurashi Kagome. She comes highly recommended and is proficient in all matters of office ware." Sesshomaru gritted out through clenched teeth.

 

 

"Fine, you know what, you win. I have an appointment in ten minutes and I need a fucking cigarette. When do I get this wonderful assistant?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically. He narrowed his golden eyes as his claws digging into his palms. He looked like some fierce warrior, with this long silver hair pulled back into a simple braid.

 

 

"She starts Monday, little brother. Try to be on time, we have a committee hearing at 9. That's all, you may go and fulfill your disgusting habit."

 

 

Inuyasha whirled out of the office, anger written all over his face. 'Stupid bastard, I wish he'd go to hell. I already have an ideal assistant; I just have to get her to agree. Should be easy, after all, who wouldn't want to spend all day with their soon to be fiancé?' He grinned and picked up his pace. That cigarette wasn't going to smoke itself.

"Miss Higurashi, Miss Taijiya, could we move this briefing to the conference room? Kouga Ookami said something about joining us." Miroku asked, standing up with his brief case in hand. I looked at Sango and shrugged. If he wanted to sit in the stuffy conference room, that was his choice.

 

 

"Sure Miroku, no problem. Hey Kags, do you have a plain note pad, to take notes, or should I bring the tape recorder?" Asked Sango. I rolled my eyes at her seemingly innocent question. That was code for me to dig around in my desk for a tape, while she went ahead with Miroku.

 

 

"Hey how about we do both, you take notes while I record. I just need to find a tape. You go ahead, and get set up. I'll be there in a few." Sango grinned at me and headed towards the door. Miroku looked at me strangely then followed Sango. Once the door closed, I reached into the middle draw of my desk and pulled out a brand new box of tapes. Ah, the things I do for friendship. I waited the allotted five minutes, as that was the time we agreed on, and headed for the conference room.

 

 

When I walked in, the room was in chaos. Miroku was on the floor with a red hand print across his face, Sango was screaming something along the lines of pervert, and Kouga was there with his two partners Hakkaku Juri and Ginta Mitsumu. They were seated at the round table, cracking up.

 

 

"Hey guys, what did I miss?" Ginta recovered first, and choked out," You missed it Kags, Miroku groped Sango's ass and she whirled around and slapped him so hard it echoed." He continued laughing. I looked at Sango and smirked. Ah, I bet that wasn't what she had in mind when she requested the five minutes alone with him. Sango glared at Miroku, looked up at me, and then glared at me for smirking. She mouthed to me, "Just you wait."

 

 

"Okay, after everyone settles down, and Miroku gets off the floor, lets discuss this case." I said, as I slipped into my leadership role. I guess after being on the force so long, I developed a complex. I walked to the side of the round table nearest the coffeepot and plopped down. After setting my tape recorder and notebook down, I turned around and made myself a cup of coffee. Ah, I could never live without this stuff.

 

 

"Alright, I have already given some small details to Kagome about this case, but it's time to bring you all updated," said Kouga, as he shuffled the papers in front of him. Sango took her seat and I slid the notebook and a pen towards her. Miroku got up and sat down.

 

 

"Naraku Onigumo is a formidable business man in the electronic world, he has created some of the best computer programs that we even use here in the police department. His public façade is impeccable, and he even pays his taxes on time. It took us a long time to figure out that he was the spider, in the underground drug trafficking. Now we don't have any solid evidence to convict him, but one of our sources say that he is getting ambitious. He is moving up in the crime world, going from the drug trade to weapons." Said Kouga.

 

 

"That's correct, but the problem is even bigger then mere drugs or weapons. Naraku is acting like he wants to take over as the youkai prime minister." Miroku replied. That got him a hushed silence, as we all sat there and digested his words.

 

 

"You mean, Naraku wants even more power? As the leading man in electronics, he almost runs a monopoly in creating law enforcement software. If it wasn't for Sesshomaru Taisho, the current youkai prime minister, and his company, Naraku would have a monopoly." Ginta chimed in. Hakkaku looked a little green, just thinking about what Naraku could do as the Prime Minister.

 

 

"You know the saying right? Absolute power corrupts, right? I think that the power Naraku has now has corrupted him to the point where he thinks he doesn't have limits. How are we going to get inside to get the information we need?" Sango asked, finally speaking up. Good question. I looked over to Miroku as he pulled a piece of paper from within his folder.

 

 

"Ah my lovely Sango, I have the answer right here. I have already gotten a secretary position for Kagome as the personal assistant to the ambassador. I'm going to try and get you into Naraku's corporation. Kouga, Ginta, and Hakkaku are going to look up information for me, and do the general stake outs. I am going undercover as a weapons dealer, to see if the spider gets caught in my web." He looked over at me, and handed me the paper he was looking at. I glanced down and read about my new "job."

 

 

"I have to work for Inuyasha Taisho? Does he know that I'm going to be undercover?" I asked. Miroku shook his head.

 

 

"No, he doesn't know, although I had to bring in Sesshomaru. He will be your contact inside the embassy. If you find out any information, relay it to him, and he will relay it to me. Don't blow your cover, no matter how much Inuyasha gets on your nerves."

 

 

I shot him a look. "Miroku, I know how to do my job. It says here that I start on Monday around 7ish. What do you mean by ish?"

 

 

 

"Inuyasha is never on time, from what Sesshomaru tells me. I figured if you got there before 7:30 you could look around without Inuyasha breathing down your neck. Get the feel of the place and what not. Here is your security badge, don't lose it." He handed me a nametag, with my picture and information on it. I groaned. He used my drivers license picture, as the one on the badge. No one looks good in his or her picture; it's like some hidden rule or something.

 

 

We continued to talk about the case and who can contact whom safely starting Monday. It was certainly looking like it was going to be a long complicated case. I couldn't wait.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AN: Thank you guys for your lovely reviews. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this out, real life sucks sometimes. I'm in the process of getting my house cleaned up to sell, and my deadline is slowly approaching. Considering my two roommates are lazy bums, I'm having to do this all by myself. So please don't think I haven't forgotten this story, and review for me. Every little bit helps me, and encourages me to keep going.
