The last chapter was rough huh? Well I'm sorry for it but it had to be done in that fashion. I even lost a person on my list but never fear this chapter should make up for that somewhat. And I am sorry to all of you for the boredom and choppy writing but please be patient because this story is about to end very soon anyway. Oh yeah Happy Turkey Day and if you don't celebrate this holiday then disregard this sentence.

Two Weeks Later Agency Control Room

 

“Strange I didn't see this before Kikyo?”

 

“Didn't see what Sesshoumaru?”

 

“I didn't see the underground people Hiten and Manten have working for them”

 

“Are they attempting to get the brothers out of jail?”

 

“I don't know but for now we need to keep watch on this new development. Tell Kagome and InuYasha to uplink everything to Hojo's computer files once we do that then maybe we can figure this out”

 

“What about Ayumi and Naraku?”

 

“I don't even want to go down that road with either of them right now”

 

“They are still at odds with each other?”

 

“Yeah it seems that way even time I ask to speak to both of them they are both busy”

 

“Well ok I'm calling Kagome. Hey has she forgiven you yet Sesshoumaru because she has or is trying to forgive me” she said smartly while calling InuYasha's office for her.

 

“Has InuYasha forgiven you yet Kikyo? Oh I thought not before you clench you claws into someone remember you're not on the best terms with everyone here either. In fact we all are stepping on egg shells here” he said slightly pissed was it not enough for her to rub it in that Kagome had forgiven her and not him. All he got was her stay on the east wing of mansion.

 

Although he was waiting for her to speak to him he also could help but be happy that she didn't move out of the mansion either. From what Vegeta told him when he left his home she was thinking of taking Rin with her to live with at Capsule-Ouji Corp. But she didn't after hearing the story of him, for once in his life he truly owed Vegeta and would compensate him as soon as possible.

 

“Hey Sesshy, Kagome said that she's checking it out now. At the moment she doesn't see them as a threat yet but she'll be watching…wait Hojo is on the other line”

 

“First Kikyo don't ever call me that you don't deserve that right and put him on speaker” he said growling at her. She on the other hand just stuck her tounge out at him then patched him through.

 

So what's new Sesshoumaru Kikyo because I'd have to say that I'm slightly stressed?”

 

This new information I have dealing with Hiten and Manten, they seem to have underground people working for them”

 

“So answer me this both of you why didn't we have a grasp on them before”

 

“I don't know but we are having Kagome track everything now”

 

“Again why wasn't this tracked before?”

 

“Because brother someone is still helping Hiten and Manten from the inside”

 

“I'll be down there soon enough I have a meeting with Totosai in a moment about the progress of this case. Afterwards I will need everyone on this lovely team in the control room with the both of you, fighting or no fighting. Am I clear?”

 

“Wait you make it seem like we have to drag those bone heads in here?”

 

“Ding, Ding look Sesshoumaru you've solved the puzzle now I'll have Naraku with me you just need the other three people. Meet me in the same spot in anhourbecause we are going to do two things hash out these disputes and get back to business”

 

“Wow Hojo today must be the day that you have finally gain some respect from me. It's about time that you finally grow up big brother---

 

“Oh well he hung up and oh goodness I really can't believe that he just bossed us around like that” she said actually allowing a small smile to grace her lips at her brother.

 

“Yeah I know for once we will humor him and get him what he wants” he said.

One Hour Later

 

“Is this going anywhere friend because I need to get back to work, you know away from conniving people who have been working behind you're back since they came here”

 

“No worse than a man who has slept with my sister you bastard” Ayumi huffed at him. She was seated at the front table three chairs away from him.

 

“She's not even you're sister and you know what I'm glad I did sleep with her she was much better than you” he said and Ayumi just growled and threw some papers at him.

 

“Is he right Kikyo was he much better than me too” Inuyasha said with a forlorn look on his face in which Kikyo just rolled her eyes at him.

 

“Yep and he knew how to orally stimulate me with excellently something that you fail to do on a daily basis” she said smirking at him but that was replaced with a frown as he said something else about her.

 

“Hey you still come back so I must be doing something right” he said as she now growled at him and hit him with her plain black shoe.

 

“Yeah Inuyasha you are doing something right it's Kikyo and Sesshoumaru who are the liars”

 

“Hey I thought you forgave me”

 

“I did but doesn't mean that I'm not still hurting Kikyo Suki”

 

“That was low even for you”

 

“Whatever I want to be finished with this meeting so that I can work on other things”

 

“Planning on running away again Kagome it seemed to be what you best at”

 

“If I do I'll have Rin and Sota with me”

 

“That is if they want to go with a jail bird like you Kagome”

 

“Damn you Sesshoumaru for everything that has gone wrong in my life”

 

“That's a baseless statement I couldn't be in the wrong for everything in you're life. You my sweet Kagome did all of this by yourself” he said looking straight into her blue eyes, taunting her to say something else but they were all interrupted.

 

“SHUT UP ALL OF YOU” Hojo shouted finally gaining the attention he needed to move this along. They all now sat silently waiting for him. He was shocked at himself for being this aggressive but it had to be done they were losing focus on the main problem the Thunder Brothers. He wanted to blame them so badly but couldn't bring himself to do it yes they were at fault for some of this but his team, no Naraku and his team were completely at fault.

 

“First of all you will all respect this job Naraku this means you also for goodness sake you are a supervisor. We are here to get two well known criminals off of the streets not play into their games. Secondly we all have personal situations that need to be discussed but it will only happen when we finish with our business with Totosai and the brothers. Finally we need to think of a way of keeping them in jail word has it that today they have their preliminary hearing in another week. We need to be together for it so I'm hoping but today we will hash out all of our differences”

 

“Done yet Hojo?”

 

“No Naraku not yet for today I will be running the show. For instance Kagome what is it about the band of seven that you dug up” he said slightly annoyed.

 

“Actually it was the band of seven now it's only the band of four, so to speak. I believed that the band of seven worked with the Magnificent Five as a back up assassins. Somehow Bankotsu was the head of the band but he like Vegeta, and the Killing Perfection here left that life to become `better' people”

 

“Are you missing anyone else Kagome…no don't answer I want InuYasha to speak on this” he said crossing his arms and closing his eyes. He decided to sit at the head of the table waiting for InuYasha to answer as everyone growled at him.

 

“Um I'm assuming that two more people are working with him Ginta and some other guy” he said and Kagome looked at him strangely.

 

“I will have that other guy to you by tomorrow Hojo”

 

“That's great to hear for once InuYasha. Too bad you and our team didn't find this out sooner than later”

 

“Well someone has balls today especially since you have questioned my judgment Hojo”

 

“I just want results Kagome and it seems that the Thunder Brothers have you all eating right out of their hands”

 

“Now since I have your attention Kagome I'm going to switch you with Kikyo because Sesshoumaru needs a computer genius”

 

“What the hell Hojo I won't have you changing the ball game not now”

 

“Oh yes you will Naraku remember I started this and I will finish it” he said daring the man across from him to say something. The man just growled at him and crossed his arms. “Now I'm going to leave you to all with your new assignments Kagome I expect to have you to have your things in your office by the end of the day”

 

“What about our disputes?” Ayumi questioned him. Hojo just turned from his seat and got up and walked up to the window.

 

“That's just it today we need to drop this before it gets out of hand, so I'm giving you all the weekend off to get yourselves together” he sighed and turned back to them. “I'll see you all on Monday please do something and be ready for the preliminary hearing”

 

“Sure big brother” Kikyo said finally as they all saw him leave the room.

 

“I'm going to the shooting range” Kagome said getting up from her seat she took a few steps forward until Sesshoumaru stopped her.

 

“You hate guns Kagome”

 

“I'm well aware of what I hate but I'm going to try and learn on my own InuYasha, Ayumi, and Naraku you are welcome to join me if you wish”

 

“I believe that I speak for everyone when I say that we're ok” she said as the two men backed her up. She got out of her seat to follow though while saying, “But I will go to my go home for now maybe catch up on some reading on this case. Hojo is correct we do need to stop this fighting it will get us no where…so I'm sorry Naraku for being who I was at the time but if it makes you feel any better I never uttered anything to them when they were against you. I would also like to forgive both you and Kikyo because I don't believe that you knew of me when you did what you did. In fact I wasn't in the picture when you had you're relations now I've got to get going”

 

“I'll walk you out Ayumi, before I go to the range” Kagome said then she smiled, “Kikyo I ask you nicely please stay here” and then she left everyone else in that room alone with their thoughts.

 

“I'll see you all later” Naraku said suddenly as he got up from his seat. As he started to leave he pulled Sesshoumaru with him, “Let's go rich boy I need to show you my collection” he said catching on to Kagome's statement she wanted them to be alone, Hojo his friend wanted them all to collect themselves. Now Ayumi started this apology even if she didn't mean too between them and he was going to finish it.

 

<--BR-->

 

The shooting range was filled with just Kagome and her bad aim when Sesshoumaru showed up. His bastard boss was right they needed to get along again and he had to attempt get some type of forgiveness. He crept behind her as she shot the final round off he shook his head at the woman as her shots didn't even touch the practice sheet. He finally stopped her by placing his hands on hers and frowned as he felt her flinched at him.

 

“Kagome stop for a moment and let's talk”

 

“No now leave me alone I'm trying to shoot” she tried to struggle out of his grasp but he kept his grip on her.

 

“At what dead air Kagome, look at least let me teach you how to shoot alright?” he said and felt her finally pull the gun down in front of her. His golden eyes connected to hers and for a moment they were lost in each other again turning her around and tilting her chin slightly he kissed her lips softly.

 

That is until she pulled away, “Sesshoumaru you wanted to teach me how to shoot, then teach me and then leave”

 

“Fine but you can't deny that we are overdue for a talk” he said as he took the gun from the ledge and held it in his hands. He motioned for her to stand in between him and for once she listen but not before speaking again.

 

“Why should I speak to you about anything Mr. Tashio it's not like you ever went to jail? No I'm sorry I did for three and a half years, all of that time without our daughter who is now four and a half years old. You, Vegeta, Bankotsu, Darien, and Usagi should have spent your entire lives in jail but you got nothing mostly because you are all well known people.

 

I'm sorry my mistake you and Vegeta are well known generational heirs of Japan. You want to know what happened to me the man I loved hated my sister so much that he had to find out everything about me. He got all of his information from another person that I use to call best friend. Then as if it wasn't enough for him to just completely leave the situation alone he had to help Naraku with anything he could find.

 

Yes I was set up and I accept the fact that it probably wasn't Hiten or Manten but actually Kagura, right now though that is not the point. The point is Sesshoumaru I got the short end of the stick out of all of this, I don't really dispute the fact that I should never went to jail because believe me, Kikyo and I had it coming but compared to the Magnificent five you should have gotten some type of punishment” she said finally finished spewing her anger at him he just stood with his hands still on elbows listening.

 

“If anything Kagome you are a generational heir to through your mother. Secondly Hiten came to me with information on you, I will admit that I took it but I never did all of that because I hated Kikyo. If anything Kikyo was a decent assassin so I respected that for her. But you and she have the notion that I went after you because of her past dealings. Third you talk about the short end of the stick then try me having this job.

 

Don't get me wrong I love it but like you I was offered a deal to work for the International agents for my freedom and the Magnificent five's. So that would mean that I have been to jail remember Kagome do not presume things you do not know about in the first place. I had to find someone trustworthy to take over my business to be here every morning, then Rin came into the world.

 

At first I felt like I was screwed when I found out about her because I had just escaped jail just to become a father. So now Kagome as a grown man I ask you to forgive me, I don't need you to be my fiancé even though it would be nice again without the bullshit. Kagome I need you to forgive me now and at least become friends because Rin doesn't deserve two fighting parents in a huge mansion. She deserves two parents who are willing to see their faults and move on” he finished for a moment and told her to shoot the shot when she did it hit the correct mark. He then took his hands off of her and started to walk away.

 

“Sesshoumaru, she said stopping him in his tracks, teach me how to shoot again and maybe I'll consider forgiving you…but it has to be on my terms are we clear?”

 

“Crystal Clear Kagome” for a moment you could see his golden eyes light up at that comment he came back to her and held her elbows again while positioning their stance. And it went on like this for hours just the two of them trying to forgive and learn each other again.

 

<--BR-->

 

“I will have those papers on your desk by tomorrow morning agent so if you can please be patient” Ayumi tried to say as calmly as possible over the phone while in her office not once did she think about Naraku leaning against it.

 

“You will not be here tomorrow Ayumi” his deeply charming voice made her snap her brown eyes at him and drop the pen she was writing with for one of her fellow agents.

 

“Trust me I can just sneak in and get it to him” she said as she saw him close the door and walk up to her. She on the other hand backed up into the window not wanting to fall under his seductive spell. She wanted to know if he was here on another agenda or just her. Ayumi knew that she had Naraku when she gave that speech in the main room but it looked like more. She wanted more but of course she wanted to be discreet also.

 

“Not if I forgive you for the dumb shit I said and take you on this desk” he said finally coming up close to her.

 

“What about everyone else” she said as she started to twiddle her thumbs with her head down at the floor.

 

“Who cares about everyone else Ayumi, you do? I came here for two things, first I wish to accept your apology as well as tell you the same. Then I want to take you on this desk before we leave for the weekend because we will be home together Ayumi. Hell we'll come back together smiling on Monday hand-in-hand after we are finished with each other. All I know now is I want you Ms. Ayumi Higurashi, never in my life have I wanted a woman like this…and I don't want another” he said as he was now very close to her. He placed his arms around his waist and spun her on the very clean desk as kissed her passionately and took her on the desk.

The Hearing Monday Morning

 

The large courtroom was full of people from the media circuits to the numerous agents waiting to see the brothers' faces when the finally lost this war. The team who brought them in was seated in the front left side of the courtroom all sitting together, not apart for this. The other agents from around the world sat in the rows in back and all around. Even the Briefs-Ouji family was there for all of this though the barely had anything to do with this at all.

 

This was mostly because each of them had either made up or was close to it which made Hojo the main supervisor of this case very proud. He was so proud of himself that he couldn't help but look at all of the girls and their short skirts which the men caught onto and scolded him for. But all and all he was happy that his words really meant something to them calmly he sat awaiting Hiten and Manten. Who both came in only a minute later heavily guarded with cops both brothers sat down just to be told to stand up again for the Judge was in the courtroom.

 

“All rise for the Honorable Judge Miroku residing” the bailiff said as Miroku sat in his bench. Yep he was a judge while his wife was a major businesswoman working for Sesshoumaru Tashio who was in the first row of the courtroom. He jumped on the chance be on this case where he and his jury would decide the fate of the world renowned `Thunder Brothers' Hiten and Manten. Two brothers who managed to secretly overthrow the Shikon Sisters, murder, place hits on innocent people, have numerous connection with others across the world, hacking, and the list goes on.

 

He looked over to see that Hojo kept his promise the sisters out of jail for their help. So far he has done an excellent job at everything, he has figured out who was stopping his case by running over fifty crooked agents who now have life sentences in jail, save Kagura who exchanged all the information she had on them for her freedom. He looked at Hiten and Manten who had smirks on their faces, what he wouldn't pay to see those smirks wiped off of their faces. It was as if they didn't care about the situation and he could not have that in his courtroom, today they would finally face the music of a life sentence.

 

“Anything funny gentlemen because I'm not laughing nor is this courtroom”

 

“It's funny because we don't care about this damn trial, nor will we be here for it” Manten said smiling at him.

 

“Yeah you never know what could happen to this agency I'm sorry this courtroom this morning”

 

“I'm going to ignore that comment, defense your first witness please”

 

“Thank you, your honor I would like to call Mr. Kouga Yamada to the stand” they saw Kouga walk up to the stand and even blow a kiss to his wife Ayame who had their son on her lap for a moment. He then turned and growled to InuYasha who call him a show off. He was sworn in quickly as they were ready to start the long trial.

 

“Mr. Yamada is it correct to say that Manten stole rare stones from you”

 

“Yes it is he stole them right under my nose they are worth millions” he said flashing the defense lawyer and the jury a charming smile which the all ate up. His eyes searched the room for his friends Kikyo and Kagome, when he found them he waved. He smiled again when they gave him the thumbs up and blew a kiss at them much to the dismay of the now growling brothers.

 

“Is it true that they were given to you by Mr. Bankotsu Ouji?”

 

“Yes he gave them to me but one of the men working for me was doing double duties by working with them”

 

“And what else di---” the lawyer stopped for a moment to hear faint screams. “Um I think someone should investigate whatever is going on outside this courtroom”

 

“We are on it Sesshoumaru, Kikyo, Hojo, Ayumi and every available person in here with a gun lets check out the outside. Kagome, InuYasha keep everyone here calm”

 

“Wait why do I have to stay here with the women and children” he said frowning as Kagome rolled her eyes and smacked him upside the head.

 

“Because you asshole we need one boy to protect us”

 

“I'm a man not a boy”

 

“Yeah…right about that” she said smirking at him. She then saw Hiten and Manten get out of their seat and moved in their direction. “Oh no, you both aren't going anywhere especially when we have you where we want you, we have worked to hard for this”

 

“You know bitch I could kill you without a second thought since your little boyfriend isn't here to save you”

 

“No but I am”

 

“InuYasha this is not your fight, this bitch has tempted my brother for the last time” Manten said walking up to her InuYasha was about to get in front of her when someone shot him in the right shoulder. “InuYasha!!!” she shouted worried about her friend as he fell down. They all looked at the window to see a man coming in with a key and rifle in his hands. Defenseless and alone momentarily Kagome pulled out a small gun on Manten but his smirk widened.

 

“You better stay back Manten or I'll shoot you were never that fast”

 

“Kagome, Kagome you really have been in jail for too long. So we will test this theory of yours we will see how fast I am as I choke the life out of you” he said as she shot the gun off he really did move fast and caught her by the neck. “You see Kagome you lose again like you always do those people are great friends of ours that are against the Ouji family, your family Kagome. Now I could kill you but Hiten has other plans for you as I do for that lovely sister of yours. And lets not forget the blue haired bitch for stealing my merchandise” he let her and looked back at the remaining Ouji family that just consisted of Trunks and Bulma.

 

“It was never yours, y-you bastard” she said clutching to Trunks who was frowning at him. “This would be a great experience for our son, he says, ugh I hate my husband at the moment” she muttered as she saw Manten walked towards them but was stopped by a vengeful Ayumi, a first for her. Bulma was shocked at how fast she came back to the room.

 

“Manten you will stop this now. Kagome isn't good with guns but I'm pretty decent with them” she said and then looked at Hiten who was out of his handcuffs with another man standing on a wall. That was weird especially since he `loved' his sister but she didn't dwell on that at the moment. She saw InuYasha when she came back to check up on everyone currently Ayame with Dash close by was caring for him and even called 911.

 

“Still jealous Ayumi that you never got the attention that your sisters and friends have”

 

“If you could stop Manten would you?” she said ignoring his past statement. His statement didn't matter anymore because in the end she still got what she wanted. So when she saw the shocked look in his eyes she smirked for the very first time, it looked like Naraku's but it still worked for this moment.

 

“If I would have had you then I could stop Ayumi then maybe just maybe I would stop. But Naraku clouds your judgment so I had to forget about you. Now if you will excuse me I need make my great escape with Hiten, enjoy the tear gas coming through the vents” he said as he went up to the guy and got his handcuffs off. The rest of the patrons in the room started to cough as they went to leave even Ayumi who had now dropped the gun in front of her.

 

“Thunder brothers I hate you” Kagome said as she was covering her nose and eyes coughing like everyone else in the courtroom from the gas. But there was one thing that was boggling her mind who were the guys that caused so much trouble? What connection did they have with their family? Were they the underground `men' that she heard Kikyo speak of, if they were then they had another gap to consider. Then her eyes widened those men were after Bankotsu but why come after their former o-aniki at this point.

 

<--BR-->

 

I hope it wasn't too mushy or choppy. Oh yes before I forget when Naraku says every available person with a gun/weapon somehow some of the Ouji family and Kouga has one so they help out. That left Kagome and InuYasha with the remaining women and children in the courtroom. Rin was not there where she was though will be reveled in the upcoming chapters. As always review.

 

 

Oh and from what I've read o-aniki means big brother.
