Ritalin_writer: You’re not welcomed back but whatever I want you to read my story even if only ONE person reviewed. I was debating if I should be truly evil and leave the story for a week and not post but I reconsidered because of another one of my friends.
Anyway if you can spare a moment after reading to review I’d like to know if you think the story is going in the best of directions.
~~~Last time~~~
His intentions were pure but at the sight of the bullet wound he immediately passing out. Inuyasha now staring at one bleeding woman and another fainted sixteen year old sighed in exasperation.
“Damn it, how in the hell did I get into this mess.” He muttered before setting to work.
~~~Now~~~
A heavy sigh escaped a dark haired brunette that sat idly in front of a bleach white counter; lined with a variety of tubes and vials some filled with liquids others were bright and empty.
The woman looked to be around twenty though in truth she was three years older than that. She adorned a bright white lab coat, falling well past her knees and nearly to her ankles as she examined a series of notes in comparison to a manila folder that looked like it had seen better days. Her dark brown eyes wandered vacantly across the folder with little interest, or as much interest as one can have when worrying about a friend.
On the right side of her chest was a small laminated card poking out from her pocket reading, Sango Magetama. She pushed herself away from the counter looking away from her work and to the ceiling shielding her eyes from the florescent lights above with her arm.
“Where are you Kagome?” She muttered staring into space and trying to figure out why her best friend and coworker had been missing for three days already and no phone call.
“Anone, Magetama-san?”
A light voice broke Sango’s contemplative state, causing her to turn to the speaker. A man of twenty two entered the room. His mop of brown hair was cut relatively short and exposed the nape of his neck even under the suit he wore. His face held a remarkable kindness and he seemed to hold a purity about him that was just too much for a single person to bear. But then again that made up for the greater portion of him that was naïve to certain aspects about certain people he felt intimacy towards.
“Hai, Hojo-sama can I help you with something?” Sango replied watching him as his gaze roamed the room and a flicker of disappointment flashed across his features.
“Kagome isn’t here today either?” He said with a heavy sigh looking once more back to Sango placing a cheerful guise on his face. “Anyway I had been hoping to speak to Kagome today because we have an intern from the university. She’s extremely talented and I had hoped that she would be here to give her direction and get her motivated in the project ‘Entei’. But since she isn’t here would it be too much trouble if you took her under your wing?”
Sango looked trying to see who this intern was. The state University of Science and Culture always sent their best and most diligent students to have an internship down at the lab and this wasn’t surprising especially since it was early in the year and seniors would be taking their last steps in the college.
“May I introduce Kismet Tenpouin.” Hojo stood aside allowing the doorframe to be graced by a twenty-one year old mousy looking woman. It was like looking at a comic book character with the abnormally large glasses that took up ¾ of the face. Her black hair fell was mid length and stopped just between her narrowed shoulder blades. Her eyes were an earnest blue and stared with a slight uncertainty of the environment she had been placed into. She really looked like a mouse in a cat’s carrier.
“I’m sorry for imposing.” She said in a meek voice that suited a child and not a grown woman such as herself. She wore a simple white collared shirt and a navy suit jacket along with matching pants. “I’m Kismet, K for short.”
“Kismet? That’s an unusual name.” Sango commented looking at the meek girl.
Kismet straightened immediately, blushing furiously. “Uh! Don’t mind my name you can call me what you like I don’t mind really!”
Sango couldn’t help but smirk lightly at her reaction. “No I meant it’s unusual in a good way, I’m Sango Magetama, pleased to meet you.” She said with a smile head tilted to the side slightly. Kismet made a small anxious noise and Hojo placed an encouraging hand on her shoulder urging her forward. “I leave her to you Magetama-san.” He said with a departing wave and then disappearing through the sliding door.
Sango did one more analysis of the girl before attempting conversation.
“So, you’re from USC huh? What curriculum did you major in?”
“Um, universal science and biology. I got pretty high rankings in some other things but they’re not too great…” she said sheepishly her hair falling over her face to hide the blush.
“Well then Kismet, let me show you the ropes. We only have about an hour or so left before we leave so I’ll do what I can in that time.”
Sango turned about to reopen the files and show the data and graphs that had been made over the past few years. However if she had turned away once more she might have caught the strangely aberrant smirk from Kismet…
~~~~One hour later~~~~~
Sango exited the train station her black suitcase held in her right hand and a small bag of snacks and refreshments in another bag. Every intention was on seeing Kagome and figuring out why she hadn’t been at work in the past few days and why she hadn’t even called her to tell her why.
And why she hadn’t picked up the phone….
And why she hadn’t returned any of her messages…
Another sigh escaped her as she walked the crowded streets girl and boys roving freely, cars passing by and everything appeared to be completely natural but she knew somewhere deep in the bowels of this city something that was trying to wipe them from existence was prowling silently.
She took a turn on the third block reaching the newly erected complex and heading up the stairs until she reached apartment 601.
She knocked three times and there was no answer.
She pressed the buzzer three times and there was no answer.
She banged on the door insistently until she heard the scratching at the door and knowingly calling to the cat inside.
“Buyo?”
“hang on mangy cat I’m getting’ it.”
Sango was thoroughly surprised at the deep cavernous male voice that emitted from the other end and she couldn’t help but have a fleeting thought.
Kagome was with a man for three days!!!!
She was barely contained herself as she witness the white haired man at the door standing completely innocent without a shirt in the door frame. Many, MANY thoughts came to mind…..
He was standing casually in the doorway wearing a pair of hakama’s and nothing else and then Sango’s gaze halted on his searing golden eyes and then the slightly twitching dog ears mounted on his head.
She didn’t even say anything as she hit Inuyasha over the head with her briefcase. Inuyasha fell backward, Sango leaping over him and scrambling into the kitchen seeking a sharper implement to battle the demon thinking he had lured Kagome into have sex with him and now so casually thinking he could get away with it after sating himself.
Well think again demon!
She scanned the room as quickly as possible jumping towards the counter and picking up one of Kagome’s butcher knives and brandishing it like a dagger in front of her. She leaned slightly on her left leg and braced herself with her right placing her left hand slight above her abdomen and lifting her right which held the knife at her left shoulder.
Inuyasha stumbled into the kitchen a massive red mark forming on his cheek where the briefcase had felled him.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing you crazy-“
Inuyasha didn’t even have a chance to finish as Sango leapt at him with her knife, swiping masterfully at his abdomen. Inuyasha however was able to jump away however, he was used to having a large amount of space to maneuver and the compact area left him with very little do with.
Forgetting the space reduction he leapt back and bumped his head on the ceiling….
He landed on his back rubbing the spot between his ears where he’d hit the ceiling and looking up abruptly as Sango brought the knife down again. Rolling out of the way was his only option, but then he forgot the coffee table and ended up bumping his shoulder against the oak. He grunted not from pain but annoyance.
“Why the hell do humans need this junk anyway!?” Inuyasha complained as he stared up once more as Sango was now on top of him and bringing her make shift sword down towards his chest.
He immediately grabbed her wrist in his hands baring his fangs and trying to be menacing, but one can’t be very menacing with a pair of dog ears that kept shifting and twitching.
Sango glared; fighting with every ounce of training she’d acquired and trying to bring the knife to the flesh as she had intended.
“What have you done with Kagome!” she barked.
Inuyasha looked more than a little pissed off.
“I didn’t do a damn thing to the woman!”
Yeah, try telling that to an enraged woman as she sees blood stains on the couch…
And the carpet….
Sango fought harder struggling against his demonic strength and failing. However the sound of foot steps brought the two out of their battle even momentarily to glance up at a bleary eyed Souta that walked nonchalantly into the room.
Rubbing his eyes from sleep he yawned loudly, completely disregarding that Sango was pinning Inuyasha to the floor and brandishing a kitchen knife.
“Hi Sango.” He greeted casually.
“Hi Inuyasha.” He continued before disappearing down the hall where the bathroom was located and closing the door with a soft click.
The two combatants looked completely mystified as the boy disregarded the blatant situation that was transpiring in the living room. Sango didn’t expect Souta to be so calm about it and evidently neither did Inuyasha as the sound of frantic feet pummeled the stairs.
Kagome came into view and instantly a wave of relief fell over Sango seeing her well and fine. But that didn’t explain who the demon was as he suddenly kicked her off him.
“Kagome tell me this knife wielding lunatic isn’t one of your friends!”
Kagome looked from the dog demon, the brunette and then the knife and she easily put them together. With a heavy sigh she descended the stairs towards the two former fighters extending her hand to take the knife from her.
“Knife please. Inuyasha put a shirt on.”
The two sat in utter bemusement as she collected the knife and fixed the room. Sango was confused at how calm and serene Kagome was about all this and wasn’t sure what was going on.
Inuyasha was confused and annoyed at how calm Kagome was about her friend trying to stab him to death….
~~~thirty minutes later~~~
“So you mean to tell me Inuyasha saved you from being mugged?”
Kagome nodded sitting comfortably on her blood stained couch with a mug of soup that Souta had warmed up in the microwave. Inuyasha was sitting guardedly on the floor, glaring slightly at Sango. He’d put back on his haori and had folded his arms over his chest his arms buried in the sleeves.
Souta was planted on the floor as well, playing with Buyo’s paws, the old cat meowing lightly.
“Next time make sure you got the whole story before trying to shank a me. Geez you must be fresh off the funny farm and haven’t had your meds for a week to suddenly attack a guy!”
Sango sheepishly looked away a bit flushed in the face. “Uh, Gomen it’s just that when I saw you at the door, shirtless I sort of assumed the reason Kagome hadn’t been a work for three days was because….”
Kagome and Inuyasha simultaneously went silent. Each stock still and blushing furiously at the mere suggestion of what Sango was implying.
“Sango! It’s nothing like that! I just got shot is all!”
Inuyasha scoffed. “That shot could have killed you idiot! You’re lucky I was there to save you at all or you might be worse off than you are now! Damn it!”
Inuyasha got up opening a window and placing a foot on the sill. Kagome, Sango and Souta looked confused uncertain of the dog demons movements.
“Inuyasha? What are you doing?”
Inuyasha barely acknowledged Souta with a growl.
“I’m not stayin here what do you think I am? A house pet! Damn I hate every single one of you!” He snarled before leaping out the window and was gone.
“You were cooped up with that for three days?” Sango mused as Kagome chuckled weakly.

Ritalin_writer: Well if that wasn’t an interesting little encounter I can’t wait to show you what I have in store for chapter five *smirks like an 8 year old that just put a mouse in his big sisters purse for not letting him play with her face crayons* Ja Ne and hope to see you soon.
Anyway if you can spare a moment after reading to review I’d like to know if you think the story is going in the best of directions.
