Chapter 4: Welcome to the FBI!
Kagome took a deep breath to calm her nerves and released it making her shoulders slump. She looked up at the unmarked building that looked to have around 7 or 8 floors and had plain white walls. The people who walked along the sidewalks seemed to not even notice the building. She looked over at the address plate and checked it once more with the papers her father was faxed from the FBI. This must be the place she thought lamely. Not too impressive.
Then again, this was only the living quarters for 24/7 agents. The headquarters would surely be better than this dinky place. She tightened her hold on the suitcase clutched in her right hand. She looked at the double glass doors and the thought of how terrible security was briefly crossed her mind, that is until she entered and was immediately met with an armed man in a black suit. She looked at him like he was crazy and after a brief questioning concerning why she was there she was free to go her merry way. That is if “merry way” includes 5 checkpoints and at least three separate searches. When she finally found someone that wasn’t looking for bombs or weapons it was a nice woman behind a large desk in the middle of a circular hallway intersection. She went up to her and after waiting for her to finish talking to someone on the phone she spoke to her.
“Umm… I’m not really sure where I’m supposed to go. I got this letter ya see...” she was cut off by the woman waving her hand rudely to shut her up. She rolled on the chair to a computer and began to look for something. She seemed to find it and turned back to a perplexed and irritated Kagome.
“Kagome Higurashi?” Kagome nods slightly amazed. “Go down that hall and you’ll see an elevator take it to the third floor, go down D hall til you come to D5 that is your room hun. Your crew should be up there somewhere, it’s their break.” Kagome blinked owlishly and followed her instructions. When she came to the third floor she was met with three halls on in front and one to the left and right. She saw a large sign that said D and an arrow pointed to the right. She went down the plain rooms with letters and numbers until she came to D5. There in the lock was a key, she took it and pocketed it.
Kagome opened the door to find her bed already set up and made in the right corner, she didn’t see her computer anywhere and got irritated. Instead of her computer there was mysterious furniture everywhere. She walked in and put the suitcase on the dresser. She looked out the window with the drawn curtains and saw a pretty vies of the Capitol. She was so engrossed in staring in awe out the window she didn’t hear the person at her door until they knocked on the door frame lazily.
Kagome wheeled around to see Inuyasha standing there with a slightly amused smile on his hansom face. “Like the view, wench?” Kagome immediately glared at him angrily.
“Don’t call me that! Ugh! I have a name! It’s Kagome!” she stomped over to stand in front of the man that was a little more than a foot taller than her. She saw that arrogant smirk and only got madder. She jabbed a finger into his chest with an impressive growl for a human. “Say it! Ka-Go-Me!!”
Inuyasha began to get irritated at her yelling and swatted her finger away. “Come on wench, I’m supposed to show you around.” He turned and walked out of the room leaving Kagome to jog after angrily. She walked a few paces behind of him with an angry look barely lingering from before. They both walked in silence with their arms crossed, until when they reached the elevator and went up.
“Why couldn’t the other guy show me around?” asked Kagome.
Inuyasha’s eye twitched for a reason unknown to even him and he scowled at the elevator doors. “Keh! If you want to get groped every other minute then go find the damn monk, I don’t give a damn.”
“Monk?” Kagome inquired.
Inuyasha sighed as if having to explain was the worst task ever imposed on him. “Miroku comes from a long line of monks, you probably don’t know this being a stupid human and all but there are still monks and priestesses now a days.”
Kagome glared. “Hey jerk! I happen to BE a priestess.”
Inuyasha didn’t seem surprised about it more like bemused. “Oh? Really….you must not be a good one, I cant even sense your powers.”
Kagome’s glare hardened. “I just haven’t been trained but I do have powers and what do you mean sense? Are you a monk too?”
Inuyasha remained quiet for a minute and silently hit himself for not thinking before he spoke which was quite a problem with him. “Keh! I’m a demon and if you don’t know what those are then you’re a failure as a priestess.”
Kagome looked at him up and down and her eyes fell on a metallic looking ring on his right hand ring finger. She looked up at him to see him looking at her intensely. She gulped nervously realizing he was waiting for her to say something. “I know what a demon is. My dad is one of those in Congress that knows of the demon race. I also know what that ring is.”
The bland metallic ring on his finger was invented in the last couple decades, because of the decline in the monks and priestesses being born those with spiritual powers teamed up with some under ground technology specialists who were able to duplicate the concealment spell monks and priestess put on demons. This technology was then installed into bland metal rings that would put the concealment spell on people if they put it on. It took them a while to complete the prototype and even longer to get it to not effect humans but they finally got it. It was mass produced and sent out to all the demon families and some low key demon stores. Now nearly 90% on the demon population relied on these rings.
Inuyasha scoffed and looked away from the curious girl. Kagome, with no regard for his personal space, took his wrist and began to examine the ring. Inuyasha sputtered and stared dumbfounded at her. “Hmmmm… I would love to take a peak inside. Can I borrow it?” She asked looking up at him hopefully.
Inuyasha looked at her like she was crazy. “No you cant BORROW it! I need this! I don’t want you breaking it.”
Kagome rolled her eyes and released his wrist. “I don’t BREAK it! Jeeze… I just wanted to see the chip inside Ive never met anyone who wore one.” She turned away with a pout. They reached the 7th floor and on this floor was a food court type place where the live in FBI agents ate. Inuyasha then took her to the training rooms and the large bathrooms that were shared. After walking around a little more they decided to go and find the others on their team. All teams lived on the same hall as the rest of their team so they went back to D hall and found the others in their rooms. Miroku was hanging out with a girl with long brown hair in a high ponytail, named Sango. They found Lain in her room listening to music. They all went back to Kagome’s room to help her unpack.
“Where are the rest of your suitcases?” asked Sango looking at the lone suitcase on the dresser in confusion.
“Uh, that’s it actually. My room only had a bed and my computer. The only clothes I have are some plastic clothes that I wear at home and my school uniforms.”
Lain looked up with dull brown eyes and a blank face. “You go to school and you’re and FBI agent?”
“No, I’m only a temporary agent, and yeah I go to school down the road. I have to go back to school on Monday and then I’ll come back to work here on the case.” Said Kagome
“How did you convince them to allow a minor to become a temporary agent Inuyasha?” asked Miroku.
Inuyasha shrugged. “All I had to do was tell them how much help she would be and about how important the mission was, sight a few precedents blah blah blah. They said in order for us to get her a temporary badge we had to get parental consent and then have them sign over custody to us.”
Kagome looked over from stuffing clothes into a drawer. “My parents aren’t my guardians any more?”
“Nope, I’m your guardian now.” Said Inuyasha.
Sango smirked and looked over at Kagome. “Inuyasha is in charge of you? He couldn’t even keep a fish a live for a month.”
Inuyasha growled and glared at her. “Oi! That fish had a death wish!”
