Chapter Five: A Stowaway's Secrets

 

AN: Hello everyone. Thank you so much for the reviews! I honestly appreciate them more than you could know. So on with the story….

 

Last Time:

`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.

 

Kagome felt like a fool. That dolt Inuyasha had left the car completely unlocked in their haste this morning. She had maneuvered the back seat to pull down, and climbed into the trunk, but left a small part of the seat open to breath. It was a tight squeeze with the things in the trunk, but Kagome really couldn't figure out exactly what the junk was.

 

`Now I just need to wait,' she thought

 

She sat there for what seemed like forever, and took a mental note to compliment Rin on her distraction skills. She fiddled with her hair, twiddled her thumbs, and seriously thought about just getting out and going back inside. Then she heard two voices coming toward her.

 

“God dammit Sesshomaru if he still isn't there I am blaming this on your head.”

 

“Calm yourself Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha slightly grumbled, but continued on toward the car.

 

Meanwhile, Kagome was on edge hoping that neither of the agents would notice her presence. She did her best to remain calm and tried to stop fidgeting. She chided herself for being so nervous. She had been on countless stake outs, and undercover missions, but being caught by her captain and chief was more frightening.

 

Inuyasha reached the door and got in.

 

“Inuyasha you really should learn to lock your doors.” chided Sesshomaru.

 

“Keh.”

 

The two boys got into the car, and backed out of the parking garage, and into the streets of Tokyo. They drove in silence for what seemed like ages. Kagome was growing more anxious in the trunk.

 

“Why do I smell Sakurai all over this car?”

 

`SMELL! I smell that bad?' thought Kagome

 

“Yeah, I had to give her a ride home last night; when she collapsed in the elevator.”

 

“And…”

 

“And…a ride this morning on the way to work.”

 

“For the love of… Inuyasha do you want to claim her? I mean, you practically barricaded yourself in your office in hopes to get away from her.”

 

Kagome's mind was racing a mile a minute with the information she was taking in.

 

`Inuyasha wants to claim me?!'

 

“You know I don't want to claim her…”

 

Kagome released a breath she didn't know she was holding.

 

“I just can't stand her scent, but I am going to have to learn to deal with it. We are going to working together. I can handle it Sesshomaru.”

 

Inuyasha knew he was trying to convince himself more than anyone.

 

“Well you better learn how to cope. Fast.” Sesshomaru left no room for argument.

 

They continued to drive in silence. Kagome was slowly losing her mind in the trunk. Not only was the trunk cramped and hot, but Inuyasha was having thoughts of claiming her. Kagome had very few thoughts on claiming, and she really wasn't entirely positive what Inuyasha meant, but she did know it was a problem.

 

The car came to an abrupt stop and Kagome went flying across the trunk.

 

“Oof,” was all she needed to say.

 

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha turned and looked in the backseat. Inuyasha immediately flew out the door and popped the trunk wide open. Kagome lay there rubbing her head with a pained looked on her face. She glanced up toward Inuyasha and immediately regretted it. He was fuming. His eyes were narrow, and his lips were forming a thin line and his forehead creased.

 

“Inuyasha it appears we have a stowaway.” Sesshomaru said quite amused.

 

“So it would seem.” He stared at Kagome in utter rage.

 

Kagome smiled big and laughed nervously. She sat up and climbed out of the trunk. She brushed off her skirt and took in her surroundings. They were near the docks. The sun was setting over the horizon and the weather was chilly, but decently pleasant. They were standing in front of an old building. It was worn with old age and windows were smashed in. It looked abandoned and almost ready to fall over.

 

“So, shall we go?” asked Kagome

 

“Yes we will go, you will stay here.” Said Inuyasha pointing at himself, and then Kagome to reinforce his message. He glared at her then as if to challenge him.

 

“Inuyasha, we can't leave her here. It will look more than suspicious. She will accompany us, but will wait outside the door as extra insurance.”

 

Inuyasha grumbled slightly at the latest predicament this girl had got him in.

 

“Sesshomaru, you know as well as I do that he will run if sees something fishy.”

 

“Who's he? Why are we here? Where are we? Why can't I come in….”

 

Inuyasha covered her mouth quickly covered her mouth before she could blow their entire operation.

 

“Stop talking. We are seeing an informant. His name is Nobunaga. Now you need to regain control of yourself and act like an agent.”

 

Kagome was feeling a bit woozy from the bump she got from the ride, but she was wide awake and ready to smack Inuyasha for his arrogance. She glared daggers at him in attempts to intimidate him. He let go of her mouth,

 

“Fine, but you need to learn to treat me like an equal, and not just another agent.”

 

Kagome started to stalk toward the building with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in tow. She slowed down and waited for the boys to catch up, considering she didn't know where she was going.

 

They walked up to the door of the rundown building and entered through the broken down door. There was a set of rickety looking stairs in front of them. Sesshomaru lead the way with Inuyasha and Kagome following respectively. They went up about five flights of stairs to the top floor. They were silent the entire way.

 

At the top floor there was a hallway with a window next to the stairs, and a singular door to the right.

 

Inuyasha motioned for Kagome to stay outside and patted his sides to check his gun. Kagome nodded and grabbed her own gun out of her holster and stationed herself outside the door. Sesshomaru nodded toward Inuyasha and they both went inside on full alert.

 

Inuyasha gently knocked and opened the door. There was a man standing in the middle of the room looking outside the window. He was decently tall, with jeans and a black jacket on.

 

“Nobunaga,” said Inuyasha.

 

The man turned around with a small wicked smile upon his face.

 

“My dear friend Inuyasha it truly has been too long. Oh look, you brought Sesshomaru too. What a wonderful surprise.”

 

“Now that that is out of the way, let's talk seriously.” said Sesshomaru with irritation in his voice.

 

“Impatient, as always, Sesshomaru, shut the door and lock it, then we can talk.”

 

Inuyasha shut the door and locked behind him. Sesshomaru gave him a look that told him to stay very sharp. They stepped forward and faced Nobunaga.

 

“Now Nobunaga, you now what we want. Tell us about Satou, and his latest shipment.” said Inuyasha.

 

“Boys, boys…you don't expect me to be your lackey. I want payment, now. Then I will tell you whatever it is you would like to know.”

 

Inuyasha sighed and reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash. He threw it at Nobunaga's feet. Normally, money was never used as a bargaining tool, but this was already breaking the rules. Nobunaga picked up the money and counted it quickly before placing it in his pocket.

 

Sesshomaru had lost his patience. “Now tell us everything you know.”

 

Nobunaga sighed. “Alright, alright. The shipment is coming in three weeks from now. It will land here in the harbor. Don't ask me what pier, I don't know.”

 

“How many?” demanded Inuyasha.

“Couple hundred at least.” Nobunaga stated.

 

Suddenly Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's senses picked up something. Kagome screamed from the hallway.

 

“It's an ambush! We need to move now!” shouted Kagome.

 

Inuyasha turned his attention to the door and knocked down the door to find Kagome crouched below the window with her gun aimed outside.

 

“We need to move they have got fifty men that I can see.”

 

Sesshomaru came outside of the room dragging an unconscious Nobunaga. The sound of people rushing up the stairs were echoing through the building.

 

“There are too many, we can't fight them all.” said Kagome

 

The enemy was closing in and they were on the fifth floor with no way out. The men finally reached the last set of stairs. Shots began firing from all angles. Kagome, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru---who was still carrying Nobunaga—barricaded themselves in the room.

 

Inuyasha knew that even though he and Sesshomaru would be able to fight them off, they could not dodge all of those bullets.

 

`Okay plan B' thought Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha scanned the room for potential ways out, but their only hope was the window. The shots were coming through the door, and Kagome was now firing her own shots through the door.

 

“Kagome get on my back.”

 

“Inuyasha this is hardly the time for jokes.”

 

“This isn't a joke, hurry up now MOVE!”

 

Kagome was utterly confused, but went along with it for the sake off having no other options. She climbed on his back. The door flew down to the floor and shots came firing into the room. Kagome caught on the side of her arm.

 

“Ah!” she cried.

 

She turned and fired back at them hitting two men.

 

“Inuyasha NOW!” Sesshomaru shouted and shattered the window. He jumped out.

 

“No chief!” screamed Kagome.

 

Inuyasha secured Kagome on his back and turned to the window.

 

“You can't be serious! We won't survive this!”

 

Inuyasha ignored her protests and jumped out the window.
