Chapter Nineteen
Welcome to the United Alliance
 
Inuyasha sat in the conference room totally lost. Wasn't this all just a dream? I can't believe this is happening but when we were riding in the truck with Kagome I even pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. What is going on? This baba is the Head of this fucked up dream. Inuyasha glanced sideways at Miroku. The idiot didn't have a clue as to what was going on but there he was smiling like a complete baka. Well at least he seems to be having fun.
 
“Now I know that bringing you all here when you think it is a dream is a little weird but you boys don't seem to want to keep your noses out of our business. Why try to stop something that is meant to be.”
 
“Kaeda was it?” Miroku inclined in his chair a little as he addressed the old woman. Kaeda bowed her head and smiled at Miroku. “So this is not a dream and the rumour is really true?”
 
“Rumour?”
 
Miroku nodded his head, “Hai. There was always a rumour about the existence of this organization but it was never proven. I have always believed that this place existed but then I had a really real dream about it.”
 
Kaeda was about to answer him when the door slid open once again. Rin stood in the doorway smiling broadly. “Sorry I'm late. I had to convince our last guest that I was telling the truth in order for him to come.” Rin walked into the room and Inuyasha's jaw dropped.
 
“Ah yes Sesshomaru welcome. Please come in and have a seat.” Kaeda motioned to the many empty seats. Sesshomaru looked around the room with his usually stoic face and once his eyes fell on Sorano he walked over to her and sat in the seat right beside her. Rin skipped into the room and sat beside Miroku.
 
“Well now that everyone is here and the introductions have already been made I will get right to the point. We have been watching the three of you for some time. We were watching you when Sage was in America. The United Alliance thinks that the three of you would make excellent new recruits. And I must say that I agree. So here I am offering you all the chance of a lifetime. You can think about it as long as you like. All I ask is that you do not tell anyone about this organization.'
 
`You can tell your answer to any member of Sage and they will get back to me as soon as possible. Once you have decided you will all need to fill out some mind numbing paperwork and then get fitted for your uniforms and armor. Any questions that you all may have can be directed to Sage. As for me, I have many things that must get done and the night is waning.” Kaeda stood up and bowed to the three boys. Sorano, Sango, and Rin all stood and bowed to Kaeda.
 
Kaeda leaned over and whispered something into Sorano's ear. Her voice was to low and Inuyasha couldn't make out what they were talking about. After a few minutes Sorano smiled and nodded her head to Kaeda. Kaeda smiled back as she made her way across the room and out the sliding metal door.
 
Sango and Rin both sat down but Sorano stayed standing, “Well now guys I think it is time that some of your questions were to be answered. I will answer all your questions that are cleared for level one clearance. Anything else, I'm sorry, I will not be answering.”
 
Miroku was the first one to raise his hand. Sorano laughed as she motioned for Miroku to lower his hand, “I think that we are all adults here Miroku. There will be no hand raising. If everyone just talks in an orderly fashion we can get through this in no time.”
 
Miroku grinned as he lowered his hand. “I want to know everything!”
 
Sango laughed as she shook her head, “Of course you want to everything but that isn't really a question now is it? Haven why don't you just explain the workings and we can go from there.”
 
Sorano nodded her head, “I agree Taijiya. Okay so the beginning eh?” Sorano rubbed her chin with knitted eyebrows. She looked like she didn't even know where to begin. There were so many questions running through Inuyasha's head that he was having problems getting them in order.
 
“Why don't you tell us what exactly Kaeda was offering us?” Sesshomaru crossed his legs as he folded his arms gracefully across his lap.
 
“All right. Kaeda is offering you three the chance to join the United Alliance. You will become what Sango, Rin, Kagome and I are. You will help maintain the peace between all races of people that walk this world. Of course you will be doing it behind a curtain of secrecy. You will become the newest recruits to the Alliance and you will be trained both physically and mentally.”
 
“So we'll become members of the Alliance?” Miroku leaned even more forward in his chair as if he was going to miss something.
 
Sorano nodded, “If that is what you chose. You can bec…”
 
“I'm so in!!” Miroku jumped in his chair as he smiled at Sorano.
 
Sorano cocked an eyebrow at Miroku, “That was quick.”
 
Miroku shrugged, “I always knew this place existed like I said before. Now that I know that it does I will do anything to be apart of it.”
 
Rin spun her chair around as she leapt from it and hugged Miroku, “I was hoping that you would say yes.”
 
Miroku blushed slightly as Inuyasha caught him looking at Sango in an apologetic manner. “Ermm… Thanks Rin…”
 
“Now I don't know about you Inuyasha or you Sesshomaru but you can take as long as you wish to decide. Of course please remember what Kaeda asked of you. You must not tell a soul about what you have seen or heard here. This place is meant to be lost to the public. That is the way it has been for many generations.”
 
Sesshomaru closed his eyes as he thought. Inuyasha had seen that expression on his face many times. It was usually on his face when he was talking to father but now he was thinking about the Alliance. As for Inuyasha he wasn't to sure about the whole thing. If I say yes then I will become some weird warrior like person who moves around the city in the shadows and every once and a while helps people. The plus side is that I will be with Kagome and we will have no more secrets between us.
 
“Sorano what if our answer is no.” Inuyasha stared at Sorano as he saw a few emotions pass through her silver eyes. Hope faded to guilt then faded to sadness.
 
“If you decide that you do not wish to become a part of the United Alliance then you will be put into a dream like state and you will not remember this meeting, you will not remember your night with Kagome, and there will be an empty part of you wondering what could have been.”
 
Sango crossed her arms as she glared at Inuyasha, “Look Inuyasha I don't blame you if you don't want to be a part of the Alliance. I didn't think that I wanted to be a part of it when they first came to me. But once I saw what Sorano, Kagome, and Rin did I didn't want to miss out on it. Plus I get to kick the ever-living shit out of people for a living. I get to drive a wick ass bike and the weapons that you get.” Sango whistled, “Nice.”
 
Inuyasha smirked at Sango. Of course Sango would say things that appeal to me. But is this really what I want? I would have to keep everything from everyone else that I know. You idiot the only other person that you are thinking about right now is Kagome. And she is a part of this world.
 
Inuyasha opened his mouth to reply but Sesshomaru beat him to it, “I will join.”
 
Sorano smiled brightly at Sesshomaru as she nodded. “Keh.”
 
Rin looked over at Inuyasha and cocked an eyebrow, “Is that a yes?”
 
Inuyasha crossed his arms and nodded slightly. Inuyasha flatted his ears as Rin squealed for joy and ran over to him giving him a really big hug. “I knew you couldn't resist the offer!”
 
Sorano smiled as Inuyasha tried to pry Rin off of him, “Now that everyone is on board there is a few things that need to be taken care of. Innocence.”
 
Rin looked over her shoulder, while she still clung to Inuyasha, and looked at Sorano, “Hai?”
 
“I need you to go to High Command and get the necessary forms that the guys are going to need to fill out.” Rin nodded as she finally let go of Inuyasha, much to his great pleasure, and ran from the room. “Taijiya I want you to go and check on Kagome. I never did find out what happened to her and she might be awake now.”
 
Sango uncrossed her arms as she stood. With a slight nod, Sango left the room. Inuyasha watched as the door slowly slid closed behind her. Why couldn't Sorano send me with her? I need to see Kagome and know that she is okay. I know that they say that she is fine but I need to smell her, touch her, andbe with her!
 
“Now that they are on their own little missions I will give you a quick overview to the United Alliance. The forms that Innocence is getting will explain better then I can. First off the United Alliance stands for the whole world. Select groups of people from all over the world are apart of this organization. We keep the peace throughout the world. Our secret is to remain a secret. If you for any reason think that someone knows what you really do or what we really are you are to inform your superior right away.'
 
`Second the United Alliance has five ranks to Teams. Innocence has the only rank that does not go into the field. She is known as a Central Command Operator. Her job is to be the eyes and ears of the team when they are in the field. This rank is for computer masters as they have almost complete control of the city when a mission is in progress. The lowest rank is that of the Strategist. They may be the lowest rank but they are the masterminds out in the field. They are the ones that call of the plans, battle scenarios, and know the team's strengths and weaknesses to better attack their target.”
 
Sorano paused as she walked around the room and came to stop where Kaeda was sitting only moments early. Sorano pulled the chair forward and took a seat. “The third rank is that of the Second Lead. They are trained to be a Central Command Operator and a Strategist. They are the second in Command in the field. If anything were to happen the Second Lead would take over. The second highest ranking is that of the Team Lead. It is there job to know all ranks and how to do them perfectly. They are in charge out in the field and when they are at Headquarters. They make the final decision in everything that happens.'
 
`Now the highest ranking position in the Alliance is also the hardest to achieve. It is that of an Elite. The Elite are, as Kaeda put it, the best of the best. They are mostly made up of youkai but some ningens and miko have been appointed to the Elites. There is one Head Elite for every country that is a part of the United Alliance. The Head Elite here in Japan is Suzuki. You will probably meet her later. The Elites are the only ones that go on solo missions and have a Clearance Level of Omega.”
 
Inuyasha gave Sorano a quizzical look but Miroku voiced what he was thinking, “Omega Clearance?”
 
Sorano nodded, “Yes there are four levels of Clearance. Level one is basic clearance. You can view the files of your targets, mission, and team but nothing else. Level two gives you a little more clearance. At a level two you can view weapon layouts and new nano-tech files. Then there is Clearance Alpha. All field agents have at least this level of clearance. It allows you to not only view files on your target but other team's targets to help you with your mission. You can also view the files of almost all high ranking members of the Alliance.'
 
`Then there is the top level of Clearance. It is known as Omega. This means that you can view any and all files that are in the archives, active in a mission, or any team member's stats from around the world. You also have access to all files of weapons, transport, nano-tech, and new tactics and techniques.”
 
Inuyasha was completely lost. This was a lot of information and it was all coming at once. What the hell is she talking about? Team Lead? Omega? She is speaking fucking Greek! Inuyasha closed his eyes and crossed his arms. He didn't have a clue as to what they were all talking about. He might as well just sit in silence and hope that soon Sorano would say something that made sense to him.
 
***
 
Sorano watched as Inuyasha closed his eyes. I think I confused the poor hanyou. Well it is a lot to take in but it is necessary for him to learn. “Enough of me talking about ranks and levels of clearance. All of that is going to be outlined in the forms that Innocence gives you. Plus once you start your classes you will learn it all.”
 
Inuyasha's eyes shot open, “Classes?! You mean we have to take classes! As if normal school wasn't enough now we have to take some united shit class!”
 
“Inuyasha do not talk about the Alliance like that. If it wasn't for the Alliance you would probably be dead by now!” Sorano yelled as she rose to her feet. I don't care that you are cursing in front of me Inuyasha but this organization as saved your butt many times.
 
Inuyasha made to open his mouth but Sorano glared at him. Inuyasha `kehed' but otherwise said nothing else. Sorano looked around the room. Sesshomaru looked intrigued and Miroku was grinning like a little boy who was being offered his favourite sweet. Sorano sat back down and laid her hands her lap.
 
“There is one thing that I was wondering. Kaeda told me before she left that no one could seem to locate Koga. We were watching him to join the Alliance as well. Where is he?”
 
Inuyasha's eyes flashed red momentarily as he growled deeply in his throat. “That fucking asshole better not show his face ever again if he knows what's good for him!”
 
Sorano's eyes widened as she felt waves of youki coming off of Inuyasha. What is wrong with him? I know that he doesn't like Koga but he was needed. We had plans for him once we had him here.
 
“Inuyasha calm down.” Sesshomaru glanced at Inuyasha.
 
“Don't you tell me to fucking calm down you bastard! That ookami is the reason Kagome is fighting for her life!”
 
“What?!” Sorano looked between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
 
“That ookami showed up at the restaurant and tried to take Kagome away. Saying that she was his woman and it was time that she came with him. Koga and I started to fight and then Kagome jumped in front of one of his attacks and the bastard nearly tore her apart.”
 
“That could not have happened at a worse time.” Sorano reached under the table and pushed the button that activated the Holo-projector. Miroku jumped as the center of the table slowly opened and the Holo-projector came up the middle. A panel of the table in front of Sorano flipped up and revealed the control keys for the Holo-projector.
 
Sorano pushed the top most blue key and another panel to the left flipped over and presented an earpiece. Sorano grabbed the earpiece and while she placed it to her ear she pushed a green button and the Holo-projector hummed to life. The emblem to the United Alliance appearance as Sorano activated her earpiece.
 
“This is Haven calling Head of Alliance.”
 
Sorano waited for a moment and then Kaeda heads appeared in the Holo-projector. “This is Head of Alliance. What is it Haven.”
 
“We have a slight problem. It seems that Koga was the one that attacked Kagome. He will not be showing up for school or at any of his usually haunts for a while. This is going to slow down our plans.”
 
Kaeda rubbed her chin as she looked at Sorano. “We need to find him. The plans can not be disrupted. We need to get our hands on Koga. His tribe is gaining too much power. And if he knew that the Alliance was interested in him it would be so much easier to track him.”
 
Sorano nodded and ignored the looks that she was getting from the three men in the room. “Head of Alliance what are your plans now?”
 
“Haven you are the Elite that is running the mission. You know that Koga needs to be stopped and we need to find him in order for that to happen. After you are finished with the new recruits I want you to come to my office. You may have to go on a mission tonight. If what you told me earlier is correct about Koga then he will not return to the tribes tonight. He is feeling guilt about attacking his potential mate and that means that he will be by himself tonight.”
 
Sorano nodded as she listened to Kaeda. Great Koga why did you have to go tonight to bother Inuyasha and Kagome when they were out on the town. In a few days time we would have had you here at the Alliance then we would be getting somewhere. “I understand. Haven out.” The Holo-projector went dead as Sorano pushed her earpiece to end the transmission.
 
“What the hell was that all about?! What is it that you want from Koga?! What are the tribes doing?! What is going on?!” Inuyasha banged his fists on the table as he leapt to his feet.
 
“Inuyasha this is highly classified. I can not tell you about it. But what I can tell you is that Koga will be dealt with for what he has done.”
 
“Yeah and I'm the one that is going to be doing it!”
 
Sorano glared at Inuyasha, “You most certainly will not be doing anything about it. You are a member of the United Alliance and no fighting is allowed outside a mission, training, or self-preservation. Do I make myself clear!”
 
Sorano stared down Inuyasha until he looked away. Inuyasha slumped back into his chair and growled softly as Sorano continued to glare at him. Just then the door slid open and in walked Rin. She was carrying all the forms and handbooks that the guys would need to read and fill out.
 
“Wow, what did I miss?” Rin looked around the room and noticed that everyone was now looking either pissed off, amused, in Sesshomaru's case, or worried.
 
“You didn't miss anything Innocence. Please hand out the forms and handbooks. I have matters that I have to attend to immediately.”
 
Rin nodded as she walked around the room handing out the forms to everyone. Sorano walked to the door and out into the hallway. Before she left for Kaeda's office she had to steal herself against the wall to calm down her nerves. You're lucky that we need you alive Koga or I would gladly let Inuyasha have his way with you. No one attacks my family and gets away with it. Sorano straightened herself before she started down the hall and to the elevators. But Koga it is amazing what one can live through.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and looked around the dimly lit room. “Where am I? Inuyasha!” Kagome sat up quickly and instantly regretted it. Her back felt like it was on fire and the room was starting to spin.
 
“Whoa there girl,” Kagome felt someone gently pushing her to lie back down, “You have been through the ringer. You aren't to be moving for a least a day.”
 
“Sango?” Kagome blinked hard to make the room stop spinning and when it did she smiled. There was Sango sitting in a chair beside her bed. She was still dressed in her outfit from dinner and her hair was all over the place
 
Sango smiled down at Kagome, “Yeah its me. And you're at the United Alliance ICU and Inuyasha is in Conference Room 3 joining the United Alliance.”
 
Kagome smiled widely as she closed her eyes. Finally Inuyasha will know my secret. I want to be with him so badly that I can taste it. I just hope that he isn't going to be mad at me for not telling him about the Alliance sooner. Sorano will tell them everything that they need to know and whatever Inuyasha asks I will tell him.
 
“Kagome how could this have happened?”
 
Kagome slowly opened her eyes and stared at the tiled ceiling of the ICU. “I don't really know. I mean we were having a good diner and I could feel Inuyasha's youki pulsating but it wasn't in a bad sort of way. I turned to look at him and the next thing I knew I was being pulled from seat by Koga.”
 
Sango crossed her legs and looked at Kagome, “That Koga is in for the beating of a life time once I get a hold of him! I don't care about protocol on this. I want him to pay for what he did and I know that Inuyasha is going to want a piece of him. Well he can have the biggest piece of whatever is left of him once I get done with him.”
 
“Sango you know for a fact that we can not go against protocol. We will let it slide and Inuyasha will have to learn that he must let it slide as well.”
 
Sango laughed, “Well good luck with that one. I don't think Inuyasha knows how to let anything slide. I don't think even Sorano will be able to stop him if he sees Koga again any time soon.”
 
Kagome laughed as well, “Well that is true but one can hope right.” Kagome grabbed at her side suddenly as a shooting pain ripped through his abdomen.
 
Sango jumped up, “Kagome are you okay?”
 
Kagome gripped her side tighter as the pain slowly went away, “I think so. I have been getting a pain in my side ever since Koga and Inuyasha had that fight. It's weird. When they were fighting something inside of me wanted to purify them. I had to fight with my miko to stop that from happening.”
 
Sango cocked an eyebrow, “You mean you wanted to purify them because they were acting like children.”
 
Kagome shook her head, “Yes and no. I mean I wanted to stop the fight but something inside me wanted to purify their raging youki. I can't really explain it and now I seem to have a pain in my side.”
 
Sango looked away from Kagome for a minute and then slowly turned her glance back to Kagome, “Kagome maybe you should get that checked out.”
 
Kagome closed her eyes as another wave of pain shot through her, “Yeah I think your right. Whatever is doing this seems to want to be free from my body.”
