This chap will explain a few things

 

Consequence of action

~~~

 

Rin tucked her fluffy, goose down pillow under her arms while sitting propped up on her bed. Her eyes glazed in thought as her sisters were sprawled across her room. Too many thoughts...too many decisions. All the events that took place only a day ago, crashed down upon the three girls on a lonely night before the beginning of another week of school. Sango paced the room like a madwoman, lips tight and legs never stopping. Kagome sat and leaned against Rin's bed, staring with somber eyes at her toes.

 

Rin's room was simple, but rather untidy. Her desk lay undisturbed on one side of her room as clothes were strewn across her plush floor. The petite woman's bed sported ramshackle blankets, pillows and more clothing. The closet door lay open as more items tumbled out. Her night table showed random song writings and make-up with a potentially tipped over lamp.

 

“Okay...alright...I have this figured out. We just, you know, can't get too close to them when doing missions and not get too attached to them otherwise and we can't say anything afterwards...and...and...WOULD YOU CLEAN THIS MESS RIN?!” Sango stopped short with her rambling by frustratingly throwing more scattered clothes onto her already chaotic bed.

 

“Gomen...I never really did have the time to clean it...” Rin responded half-heartedly. She picked up the remote on her night table and turned on her miniature television sitting in the corner of her room. The screen once again blared the same newscast that was played four times that day.

 

“Largest drug bust in many years...twelve youkai arrested...orphans kidnapped, abused and tested upon...Acid Rose is becoming the modern day super heroines...will they show their faces again?...” The newscaster continued to report and the three female occupiers of the room sighed.

 

“As they say, any publicity is good publicity?...” Kagome offered dismally.

 

Sango gave a short, solemn laugh.“ Bullshit.”

 

They all sighed once again.

 

Rin spoke up, rubbing her hands aimlessly. “ I never would have guessed that they were in a gang...what are we going to do? I mean, telling them about us would not...be the smartest idea. Do...” She paused. “Do we just keep everything a secret?”

 

Sango smoothed out the invisible wrinkles on her pants while contemplating. She looked up after a few moments with miserable eyes. “There's nothing else we can do. We can't tell the police... I'm positively sure we will see them again on one of our missions and probably not in the best of situations. We just can never be the slightest bit obvious. We will remain calm, collected and sure of ourselves.” Sango stated this with finality.

 

Kagome's face soon turned indignant and a frown followed and marred her usual smiling lips. “You know this will blow up in our face. It just will. Kami...I absolutely hate keeping secrets.”

Mr. Yoshimito paced back and forth his black pristine shoes creating mindless friction on the carpet beneath him, some agents fearing he will spark a flame. Once again their anger-issued boss was frustrated, angry and about to slam his fist into a wall.

 

“Number one. This drug bust is all over the news...fucking great. Number two. Many, many people are suspicious and getting anxious of all the new problems and gangs fucking sprouting up like weeds and they're intimidation of us is becoming less and less of an issue. This is because they think we can't handle everything that is happening...that's even more fucking great. Number three. There is a new gang. Apparently called `Kumo's Scar' and they were the ones who somehow stole money from us and are now using it how they fucking wish...I think I'm going to shit my pants with how fucking great this news is.” Mr. Yoshimito finished, fisting a cigar into his mouth.

 

“Sir...Mr. Yoshimito-san...only people that work for Inu no Taisho, the Taisho gang and other select few know that the Inu no Taisho corporations rule over the Taisho gang. How they would know to embezzle money from the enterprise...which immediately affects our wing...is very suspicious and highly dangerous. Mr. Yoshimito... I have reason to believe there is a rat hidden here or in the main building.” Miroku announced his face set and eyes unwavering. “ It is something Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and I have discussed and are finding more and more probable.”

 

It was true. For the past little while the three of them have been questioning how this recent event connects with everything else and came up with that conclusion. Taisho is known as a gang and solely a gang, the Inu no Taisho enterprise is seen as having nothing to do with the other besides having the same suffix. Anyone who suspects anything with their relation has absolutely no proof to their assumptions. Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's father has made sure of it. If any employee, no matter what office they work in for Inu no Taisho, obtains the slightest amount of information on the Taisho gang they are vowed to never speak of it to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Any disobedience with that major rule will result in a severe penalty. Death.

 

Many of the employees have no trouble with the contract for it is an honor to simply work in the Inu no Taisho corporations. Though, if there is indeed someone who dares to speak of it that's in either the corporation or the gang, an opposing threat will have an advantage. The resolution is not difficult. In a matter a time the person will be found out and forced to face the consequence.

 

Mr. Yoshimito eyed them, contemplating. He briskly nodded in his head. “ We can look into that. Everybody's dismissed, except you three.” He nodded his head at Miroku, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. While all the others were filing out, Inuyasha promptly let his head drop onto the table groaning and muttering a distinct, “You gotta be fucking kidding me...”

 

Once all the other members exited the room, with the last youkai shutting the door, Mr. Yoshimito turned to them. His face foreshadowed a rather heated argument before he even began speaking. With a hand massaging his temple he interrogated, “ You guys were at the warehouse. I know it and you can't lie to me. I was the one who gave you the mission. Now can you tell me exactly why Acid Rose is not thrown out of Japan?”

 

The room held a short, agonizing silence. Inuyasha's reaction was to flick his hanyou ears back and forth while averting eye contact and staring harshly at the opposite wall. Miroku mouth fell slightly ajar and he sweat dropped. Sesshoumaru, with a completely different reaction, stood up emotionlessly and while heading for the door spoke in an even tone, “Yoshimito, if there is nothing more of importance to be discussed I will take my leave.” The youkai's hand made it to the doorknob when he was stopped by his boss' voice.

 

“You bet your ass there is boy! You still have not answered my simple question. Why is Acid Rose in the newspapers and newscasts and not leaving Japan?” Mr. Yoshimito responded, voice rising with each word said.

 

“Keh, because there was no damn reason to kill them. Also because the hentai monk back there was being noble. They were on one mission and that was to help the little whelps that were inside the warehouse. We did meet and I'm not gonna lie about that, but we did our fucking thing and they did theirs. It wasn't the time to kill them.” Inuyasha offered gruffly, his mind set. Mr. Yoshimito blanched, suddenly thwarted.

 

Seconds later Miroku spoke up. “ Yes, sensei, Inuyasha is right. Killing them off would have been fruitless and-” The monk was interrupted when his boss raised his hand, silencing him.

 

“ Yes and now they have the damn advantage over us and are probably laughing their pretty little asses off over the whole situation! They think were weak and will try to exploit our reluctance to get rid of them. A weed puller will not leave one weed alone because it is fucking nice looking and harmless then. For without ridding their garden of that one weed, more will spread from its life. You get the picture? When more people figure out we won't get rid of one gang, more will appear. A weakness for us, a strength for them.” Mr. Yoshimito finished his speech while stubbing out his cigar.

 

Miroku was regarding him solemnly, while Inuyasha locked his boss with a hard gaze. Sesshoumaru was still waiting at the door, his back to the others. With not even a glance back, he exited the room. After a few seconds, Inuyasha stood with Miroku saying, “Alright, next time we will not forget.”

 

Mr. Yoshimito nodded and the two friends left the building the omen of dread hanging wickedly over their heads.

Yeah yeah really short chap. I just wanted to update. Alright, I know this chap is a bit confusing. Let me straighten it out. Taisho gang andInu no Taisho corporations are two different things. Though they are run by the same person, Inu and Sess' papa. If anybody that works for Inu no Taisho corporations finds out that they are related to Taisho gang they have to sign a death penalty contract if they ever speak of it to anyone. Hopefully that clears it up. I know the suspense is building:) Please review! thanks. The next update hopefully will be sonner. Ja ne!
