InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ For Richer or Poorer ❯ The New Assignment ( Chapter 2 )

(A/N: Okay, I think I didn't want to leave you all with just a prologue, so on to chapter 1! I know Kagome is going to be really OOC, but I found that I like writing her as a spunky, no-bullshit cop. On with the story…oh, and I know that giving Inuyasha the same last name as his sword is really cliché, but I couldn't really think of anything better at this point, and his last name doesn't really come up after this chapter. Ok, NOW on with the story…)

 

Disclaimer: (looks in pockets, sees a penny, a stick of gum, and the key card to my dorm room) Nope, no Inuyasha…damn.

 

For Richer or Poorer

 

The New Assignment

 

“And your brother told you that Naraku was behind all the killings, Inuyasha?” The captain of the Tokyo Police Squad asked her officer.

 

“Yeah,” Detective Inuyasha Tetsusaiga said sullenly. “The prick called me right in the middle of the night too.”

 

“And you trust his instincts?”

 

“Of course,” Inuyasha snorted. “He may be a bastard, but his instincts are never wrong.”

 

Kaede sighed as the wheels in her mind started turning. “We'll have to have someone go undercover, then. The easiest route is to plant someone in Naraku's company.”

 

“We should have someone in Sesshoumaru's company too.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because he called me again this morning and told me that Naraku sent over a proposal this morning to try and merge companies with him. That means that there will be a lot of contact with both companies, and we should keep an eye on both. Plus, it will piss him off a lot to have cops hanging around him.”

 

“All right, I agree to have two people. Does Sesshoumaru have a secretary? We could have one of our officers do that.”

 

Inuyasha nodded. “He doesn't have a personal secretary, but what about all the parties and shit he attends? A lot of business transactions are made there too.”

 

Kaede frowned. “I can only spare two officers if we're going to do this investigation. So that means one for Naraku's company and only one for Sesshoumaru's. How are we going to corporate one officer for business and parties?”

 

An unholy light filled Inuyasha's golden eyes with glee and his puppy-ears twitched in excitement. “Have a female officer act as Sesshoumaru's fiancée.”

 

“What?”

 

“Listen, if word is out that Sesshoumaru has a fiancée, she'll be expected to go to all the parties with him so he can show her off. His fiancée will also be expected to participate in his company's dealings, so she'll have an excuse to be at the company.”

 

Kaede thought about that. “That actually sounds like a good idea, Inuyasha,” she finally said.

 

“Keh! Don't sound so shocked, grandma,” he said smugly.

 

She whapped him upside the head. “So, who are our two officers going to be?”

 

“I know that Miroku hasn't had any action lately, so he can go to Naraku's.”

 

Kaede nodded her agreement. “Okay, who is going to play Sesshoumaru's new fiancée? And will he even agree to this?”

 

“He will,” Inuyasha stated confidently. “It's about time I can get the bastard back. And I have the perfect officer in mind for his bride-to-be.”

 

Kaede didn't trust his fang-showing grin.

“Kagome, you're late,” Shippou said, a frown on his baby-like face.

 

“I know, Shippou-chan, but court was in session forever. I hate testifying,” Detective Kagome Higurashi said to the rookie officer.

 

Shippou had become and officer two months prior, and already the young kitsune demon had become attached to the detective.

 

“Excuses, excuses,” he said, a small grin coming to his adorable face.

 

Kagome grinned back and dropped her battered yellow backpack that stood in place for her purse on her desk.

 

“Although,” Shippou continued. “It's nice to see you in a skirt for once.”

 

Kagome scowled and tugged at the offending material. “I hate dressing up. That's why I bought some jeans and a t-shirt to change in to.”

 

Shippou rolled his eyes. “Far be it for you to act like a lady for once in your life,” he yelled to her retreating back.

 

She playfully flipped him off and laughed on her way to the women's locker room to get out of the stupid skirt she was wearing. As she changed, she thought about ways to make rent that month. Her mother had told her that the family shrine needed some repairs, so she had asked Kagome to send a little extra in the monthly check she sent. If she was lucky and played her cards right, she just might be able to buy groceries this month.

 

She stuffed her skirt and blouse into her bag and sighed happily when she put on her worn tennis shoes. She would worry about money later; for now, it was time to go to work.

 

As she was walking back towards her desk she heard a shout.

 

“Oi, wench!”

 

She ignored it.

 

“I was talking to you, wench!”

 

She kept walking.

 

“Kagome!”

 

She turned around and smiled sweetly. “Hello, Inuyasha. What can I do for you?”

 

He growled softly at her, which made her eyes soften. She loved it when he growled; it sounded just like a grumpy puppy! She looked at her annoyed ex-partner with sisterly affection.

 

“I hate being ignored,” he grumbled as they walked to his desk, which was right in front of Kagome's. She playfully tweaked his ear and giggled when it flicked at her.

 

“I know, Inuyasha. That's why I do it. Anyway, what's up?”

 

“You've got a new case.”

 

She leaned forward. “Really? It's about time! I was starting to get bored here with nothing to do. What the case?”

 

“You and Miroku are going undercover to try and dig up dirt on Naraku Tama.”

 

“Naraku? Haven't we been trying to pin him down on something forever?”

 

“Well, now we have the opportunity. We're sending Miroku to Naraku's company as a new security agent.”

 

“And me?”

 

“You're being sent to Taiinu Inc.”

 

Kagome was confused. “I thought we were trying to get to Naraku.”

 

“Naraku is trying to form an alliance with that company, and the owner may be able to help us out with the investigation.”

 

Inuyasha knew he was being vague, but this was so much fun!!!! It was time to get Kagome back for all those ear-tweaks, plus it would be great to see how his brother handled her temper. He was going to sit back and watch the show, and he would damn well enjoy it.

 

“Okay,” Kagome said uncertainly. “What am I going to be doing there?”

 

“We're going to be meeting with Mr. Taiinu this afternoon, and all the details will be filled in then.”

 

“Fine,” Kagome said dismissively. It didn't matter that she wasn't getting all the input then, she was just happy to get out of the office. Her last case didn't turn out so well, and she'd had to use force to finish the job. It was usually mandatory to take a few weeks easy after a case like she'd had, but she was ready to get out into the field again. What better than to go undercover?

 

“Oh, yeah, I've been meaning to ask you…how's Kikyo?” she asked with a sly smile that widened when she saw the faint blush on Inuyasha's cheeks.

 

“She's fine.”

 

She pouted. “That's it. Fine? C'mon, Inuyasha, I want the juicy details. Spill it.”

 

“We've only been going out for a few months now,” he protested.

 

“Yeah, but she seemed so perfect for you. She's all cool and composed, and well, you're…not. It's the perfect balance.”

 

“Oi, you saying there's something wrong with my personality?”

 

She sighed dramatically. “Oh, let's not go there today, Inuyasha. The conversation would take to long.”

 

He sniffed at her insult. “Anyway, I have to go find Miroku and tell him what's going on. Have you seen him?”

 

She grinned. “He's probably at the front desk. I heard a pretty new secretary was hired.”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “I'll go drag him away. Meet me here at three, and we'll leave.”

 

“Fine,” she agreed and returned to her desk.

 

Ah, today was going to be a good day. And it all began with her new assignment.

(A/N: Okay, people, I'm going to end there. I think I ran out of steam. I will try to get more out as soon as I can, but I'm also working on my other story that's posted on Mediaminer, so I don't know how much I can get done. Plus, finals are next week, and I need to start packing to go home. I know that there are going to be tons of things in my dorm room that I didn't even know I had. (shivers) Anyway, thanks to Winterphox for reviewing the prologue so quickly. You're the best and well on your way to becoming my new best friend. LOL!!! Anyway, I will see all of you later, and remember, REVIEW!!!!!

 

Ja ne,

Mujitsu. )
