Chapter 5: The First Shard of the Shikon Jewel
Though it has only been a week since Kagome arrived at the Bureau she and the gang already gained a routine. Every morning they would go up to the food court and eat breakfast together and say what part of the case they would be working on that day. After breakfast they would all head to the larger building behind the living quarters, the two buildings were connected by an under ground tunnel, on school days Kagome would have to go to school and come to this building after school. On weekends though they would take an elevator to the floor assigned to D hall. They each had their own rooms and their own computers and were pretty isolated from each other. Once everyone began working it was only Inuyasha who would go between rooms to check up on people. When dinner time rolled around they would all go to a diner that was situated in the headquarters building on the second floor. After dinner they would go their separate ways again.
On school days Kagome would walk to school and try to pretend she had a normal life and that was going well until on her first day there after moving in with the Bureau Inuyasha came to pick her up in a black car. She could STILL hear her friends squealing hysterically at the sight of the hansom man leaning against the car and staring at Kagome. She saw that arrogant smirk on his face and the wink he gave the three gushing girls and Kagome just want to kick his conceded ass. For the next four days he picked her up from school and took her to headquarters.
Today Kagome was working on some updates on her computer after spending the past five hours looking for any rumors of the jewel. As she sat on her knees behind a CPU in a plastic dress she unscrewed the back panel. She heard a knock and didn’t answer knowing it would be Inuyasha.
Outside the door Inuyasha scowled and beat on the door harder. There was still no answer so he just opened the door. He saw Kagome behind a CPU working on something. She didn’t look up so he decided that that meant he could come in. He shut the door and noticed that she didn’t have any lights on and even though he could see perfectly in the dark she would most likely be barely able to see him in the dark with only the computer’s glow. He saw her strange set up with the computers and noticed she totally ignored the computer desk and just worked on the floor. He took a seat in the unused rolly chair and watched her work. The silence was bothering him so he decided to say something.
“Too good for a desk wench?” that was definitely not the brilliant conversation starter that he was thinking of.
Kagome never looked up but she did look irritated as she removed the panel from the CPU body. “I prefer to work on the floor, better access to all the computer parts.”
Inuyasha shifted in his seat and sat Indian style and crossed his arms. “Keh! Any luck with finding the Jewel?”
Kagome’s eyes were shadowed by her bangs and this worried Inuyasha slightly. “Actually, I think I’ve found out something recently that isn’t too good.” When Inuyasha didn’t say anything she thought she better tell him. “Whoever took the jewel from you all has broken the jewel down into smaller fragments, this isn’t good because who knows what each of these fragments could contain; some could unlock very dangerous files and information and others could do that if another fragment were collected. Someone with very good hacking abilities on the internet has come across shards of the Jewel and has been collecting them, who knows how many he has. None of the other hackers I know have seen any shards and we think that this mysterious hacker has found a way to draw the shards out of the free web.”
“The free web?” Inuyasha asked, confused.
“So far people have come across these mysterious links and files that were the shards though because of fear of a virus they didn’t touch them. They were every where, there was no pattern for where they might show up and sometimes they would move from one website to the next……but now… they’re all gone. No one knows what happened to them.” Said Kagome. “I’m waiting for someone to help me find this guy who was collecting the shards.”
“Maybe this guy is the same guy who stole the Jewel in the first place.”
“No, this is a different user. The one who stole the jewel accidentally broke it and released it into the web. This new guy didn’t come along until about a year ago.” Said Kagome. Inuyasha frowned slightly.
“How can someone accidentally break the Jewel and let it go on the web?”
“I don’t know.” Said Kagome. She was carefully placing a circuit on the mother board and after doing so replaced it into the CPU. She was screwing the back panel on again when Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. “Who created the Jewel in the first place?”
“A computer specialist funded by the government, Dr. Midoriko. She made it about ten years ago and when she realized the danger and chaos it could cause she gave it to us for safe keeping. Four years later it was stolen by someone and we never found it that is until, five years later, someone who works as a page in the Senate, a kid named Shippo, told us about some strange activity on the web. Then about a year later I ran into you on the web.” Said Inuyasha.
A melancholy smile spread on Kagome’s face as she turned on the CPU and went around to the monitor it was hooked up to. Kagome got online and was surprised to see an email waiting for her. She opened it.

Kagome! I found one! I found a shard of the jewel!
I was playing this game that my father got me. It has a direct link to the internet and the Lo Techs suggested it. I went into the virtual reality game and while I was helping this village I came across this. Take a look I think it is what youre looking for. The game I mentioned is called Fedual Web. For more information on it contact me on my other screen name, I think I’m being monitored. You can also talk to the Lo Techs they know about it.

Attachment: Shikon Shard 034
Kagome stared in shock at the email and then her eyes slid down to the attachment. She moved the pointer to Shikon Shard 034 and clicked on it. The next thing she knew her computer monitors where glowing bright pink. Inuyasha stood so suddenly the chair knocked over.
“No Way…” Inuyasha breathed.
