Chapter Four: Womanly Charms
Last Time:
They continued to eat in a more comfortable silence. Each one glanced at the other, and then quickly looked away when the other noticed. It was sort of a game if you could catch the other one looking. They played glance tag for what seemed like forever. No one seemed to catch the other one particularly at one time. Finally, she caught him. She smiled at him. Inuyasha returned it.
`She really does have a glorious smile' he thought
Inuyasha glanced at his watch and almost fell over in shock.
“Damn, it's almost 7:30!”
Kagome glanced at her own watch and gasped. She turned to Inuyasha
“Shit we gotta go!” they shouted together.
They grabbed their coats and dashed out the door in rush to get to work.
Miroku was pacing back and forth in front of the elevator anxiously.
“Miroku are they here yet?!” shouted Sango from her office.
Miroku sighed and shook his head slowly.
“Damn you Inuyasha! Sesshomaru is about to take my head off if we don't produce Inuyasha stat!” said Sango.
“Sango, you don't suppose Inuyasha and Kagome are together, and that is why they are late?” Miroku smirked suggestively.
“Don't be ridiculous Miroku. You know as well as I do Inuyasha already hates Kagome because of her scent. I doubt he would put himself or Kagome in a situation where they would be alone. Honestly Miroku how stupid can you be?”
Just as Sango finished the elevator opened and revealed a very agitated Captain and Kagome.
“Well wench if you weren't so damn slow to get moving we wouldn't have been late!” shouted Inuyasha
“You jerk! You were the one who was being a Sunday driver getting here!
“I can't help traffic!”
“Quit making excuses, now I am late on my second day and we missed the meeting all thanks to you.”
“Well next time you collapse in the elevator I will leave you there!”
Miroku`s voice disrupted the argument.
“You were saying Sango.”
Sango made a “humph,” noise and turned back to Inuyasha and Kagome. “Captain, the chief is looking for you and he has very important news.”
“Tell him I will be there in a minute,” and with that they both stormed away continuing the seemingly petty argument taking out all people in their paths.
“Well that was…odd. Yes, odd to say the least.” said Sango and left Miroku standing slightly baffled at the scene that had just taken place.
Inuyasha and Kagome continued to storm through the office glaring and seething at each other. Abruptly Sesshomaru appeared in front of them looking extremely annoyed.
“First off your tardiness will not be accepted in this division and further tardiness will result in suspension.”
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the threat and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“However, I need both of you now. We've got Hiten in interview room two, and…”
“Hiten is here?! Hell Sesshomaru why didn't you call me?” demanded Inuyasha. He all but ran down the hallway to get to the interview room.
“Well, Kagome just follow that blistering idiot and you will find the interview room. Also, make sure you tell Shippo for Inuyasha to wear an ear piece while you a questioning him. I want everyone to get their questions in while they can.”
“Yes chief.”
Kagome ran in the direction that Inuyasha went and attempted to catch up to him.
“Captain wait up! We need to go in there together anyway.”
Kagome finally caught up to Inuyasha when they reached the interview room.
“Captain, Sakurai, we have Hiten in room two, his rights have been read and he hasn't requested a lawyer, but he isn't talking. stated Shippo.
“Damn. Has he said anything at all?” said Inuyasha.
“Not since we picked him up.” said Kouga.
“Well let's just assume he is smart enough to not say anything, we can still talk to him.” said Miroku. “Trouble is Kouga and I already tried talking to him, but he still refuses.”
“Captain how about letting Sango and I question him.” said Kagome.
“Why?”
“Let's just say I think a little woman's charm could open up his mouth.” Kagome said smugly. Miroku grinned at her mischievously.
“Give her a shot Captain. What have we got to lose?” said Shippo.
Inuyasha stood there pondering his options and in truth he really didn't like either of them. `But Shippo is right what have we got to lose? But what if that bastard touches her?' Inuyasha immediately shook the thoughts from his mind and nodded to Kagome and Sango swiftly before taking a seat next to Kouga.
“Take these ear pieces.” said Shippo. Both agents took the ear pieces and headed to the interview room. Kagome stopped abruptly outside the door.
“Quick Sango, take your hair out of your bun and hike your skirt up a bit.”
“Kagome this really is ethical or moral for that matter.”
“Oh Sango I don't like this either, but this low life happens to be our only lead right now. Desperate times call for desperate measures now MOVE!” Sango nodded and did as Kagome asked; meanwhile, Kagome was letting her hair down and pulling up her skirt to reveal her legs even more, and unbuttoned her blouse a few more buttons.
“Kagome, you know the moment Inuyasha sees us like this in the interview room he is going to have a coronary spasm.”
“Well we can call the ambulance as soon as we get the information we need.” Kagome said sarcastically. With that she grabbed Sango's wrist and led her into the interview room.
The whole team was in the electronic review room; Kouga, Ayame, Shippo, Ginta, Hakkaku, and Inuyasha.
“Captain, you know Sango is more than capable and Kagome would not be asked to come here if she wasn't qualified” said Miroku noticing Inuyasha's nervousness. Inuyasha was pinching the bridge of his nose is annoyance.
“Miroku I am fully aware of their capabilities it's just… What the hell do they think they are doing?!?!” shouted Inuyasha catching eye of the screen in front of him. The whole team looked at the screen and realized what Inuyasha was talking about.
“Well let's just put it this way captain, Hiten looks quite interested in what they are saying.” said Shippo. All the agents had their eyes on the monitor and were taking in the slightly less sophisticated Kagome and Sango. Inuyasha growled quietly at the image in front of him.
`What the hell does she think she is doing? Parading around like some common tramp! Especially in front of that low life.' Inuyasha thought furiously. He glanced over at the rest of the agents who were all glued to the monitor. Inuyasha almost jumped out of his seat to punch Miroku and Kouga for even looking. `What's wrong with me? Get a hold of yourself Inuyasha!' Miroku broke up his fight with himself.
“Look at Kagome go. She's already got him singing like a canary. Boy she could make me sing looking like that anytime.” said Kouga.
Inuyasha whipped around and glared at Kouga. And as the saying goes if looks could kill, Kouga would be six feet under and Inuyasha would be shoveling the dirt in. Ayame saved him the trouble and hit Kouga upside the head. Kouga growled slightly, but turned his attention back to the screen.
Ayame was taking notes on the whole interview and basically Kagome had gotten a number of questions answered. Hiten was in with Satou somehow and there was going to be shipment of slaves coming in soon. They would be coming over the sea and probably docking in the international port. There were so many ships that it would probably go unnoticed. Once they were in Tokyo, several slave traders would buy the people and sell them throughout the country. However, it seems that Hiten didn't know any specifics. Satou must have known he might be caught. Inuyasha grew more irritated as the interrogation went on. Sango and Kagome seemed to pull out the old routine of good cop, bad cop. Kagome was the good cop, and Hiten seemed very taken by her.
`Just the way he looks at her makes me want to rip him apart.' Inuyasha thought
While Inuyasha smoldered at the scene in front of him, the rest of the team seemed to be in awe.
“You've got to admit this is pretty genius,” said Ginta
As they watched the screen Kagome seemed to get all she could get out of the Hiten. She thanked him for his wonderful cooperation and sauntered out of the room. Inuyasha sighed in relief.
The girls walked in the interview with smiles on their faces. Everyone gave them congratulatory compliments. Kouga began gushing over Kagome's brilliance and how well she worked Hiten into giving them the lead they needed.
“Well that was interesting to say the least, but now I believe we have work to do. Ayame, contact the docks and give them warning. Then you, Kouga, and Ginta head down there and survey the place. I want every warehouse checked, and I mean every warehouse. Shippo and Hakkaku get all of Hiten's aliases, known associates, and any other information you can dig up on him. Search his personal effects he brought here, and whatever else you feel is necessary. Sango and Miroku follow up on the dump that we picked Hiten up in. I want anything you can find on the possible shipment date. Is that understood.” said Inuyasha in a no nonsense voice.
“Understood.” They all said in unison, and left to do their particular assignments.
“What about me captain?” said Kagome
Inuyasha looked at Kagome in the eye for the first time since she had entered the now empty electronic room. She was still dressed in a rather provocative manner and Inuyasha's demon blood soon began to call to him.
“You…you… well you just stay here and help Shippo.”
Inuyasha rushed out of the room and headed straight to Sesshomaru's office.
Kagome sighed again. After her adrenaline high from playing Hiten like a piano, all she got for a reward was to sit cooped up in the office trying to learn more about the scumbag Hiten. Inuyasha disappeared into Sesshomaru's office for most of the morning and she hadn't seen him since. She sighed and look around her office and finally landed on the window. The sun was setting outside and she really wanted to be out there to enjoy it.
“Alright meet you at the car in five minutes.” Inuyasha's voice came from the hall. Kagome was now thoroughly intrigued and curiosity got the better of her. She poked her head outside the office door and watched the men separate from Inuyasha's office.
`So they are going somewhere, huh? Well forget this I am going with them if it kills me.' thought Kagome. She grabbed her coat and crept slowly outside the office and rushed passed Inuyasha's door straight to the elevator. Once she reached the lobby she told the receptionist—whose name was Rin—that she needed a slight distraction when Sesshomaru and Inuyasha came down.
“What for Kagome?” asked Rin.
“Well you see Rin…I need a little time, so do you think you could do this for me?” said Kagome
“Okay Kagome I will try my best.” Rin said.
“Thank you Rin! I owe you one!”
With that Kagome ran outside to the parking garage in hopes to break in to Inuyasha's car. She briefly thought about trailing him, but she knew he would immediately recognize that he was being watched, and decided to just hide away in the back seat or bust open the trunk, and hope that the back seat was collapsible so she could open it to breathe.
Rin looked around and sure enough Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had shown up just a moment after Kagome had left the building. She needed to come up with something fast and she really didn't have the time to think. So she did the best she could think of….
“Oh, Sesshomaru.” she called.
She used her womanly charm. Sesshomaru walked over to Rin's desk with a rather perplexed look on his face
“Yes Rin, what can I do for you?”
“Well Sesshomaru I know this is really rather trivial, but…”
“Oh it's quite alright Rin you can ask me.”
“Well could you follow me please and I will show you the problem.”
“Well Rin I am in hurry, do you think we could do this later?”
Rin panicked. She needed to keep him busy. So she decided to be bold. `Kagome you owe me for this one' she thought She walked around the desk and grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and started to lead him down the hallway to the elevator. Sesshomaru looked very confused, but decided he should just go anyway.
“Sesshomaru we have got to leave now.” Said Inuyasha very irritated
“I promise it will only be a moment Inuyasha.” called Rin over Sesshomaru's shoulder. She pulled him inside the elevator. Rin kept hold of Sesshomaru and pushed the top floor of the elevator and waited for the doors to close.
“Rin, is something wrong?”
Rin remained silent until they were almost five floors up and then she pulled the emergency stop button. The elevator rang an emergency alert sound.
“Rin what's going on? Are yo….”
He was silenced as Rin wrapped her arms around his neck and crashed her lips onto his.
`Damn that brother of mine.' thought Inuyasha. It had been five minutes and he was growing more anxious by the minute. Sesshomaru finally emerged ten minutes later looking slightly more dazed than usual. Rin was smiling and returned to her desk in a daze of her own.
“Well dammit it took you long enough! Can we leave now? I am not sure if he will even be there yet!” exclaimed Inuyasha.
“Yes, I am ready now.” said Sesshomaru very quietly. They both walked out of the office together toward the car.
