Last Time:

 

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.

 

Kagome shrieked and held onto Inuyasha's neck tightly. She saw the ground coming closer and closer. Bullets were flying by her from the open window.

`Okay Kagome don't lose your mind, think, think. Is there anything that I can use to make us slow down?'

She swiftly tucked her gun back into her holster; unzipped her jacket, and toss it above her and Inuyasha's heads. It created a small parachute, and failed miserably. She tossed the jacket to the wind.

`Oh we are going to crash tuck and roll. Tuck and roll.'

Kagome steady herself on Inuyasha's back and prepared herself for impact. However, she noticed chief Sesshomaru had landed and continued to run. She gripped Inuyasha's neck tightly and braced herself for her own demise. Inuyasha could feel her tension and gripped her legs tightly.

With out warning they collided with the hard pavement, and just as quickly as they had connected, they we again up again.

`What the…?'

Kagome looked down to discover Inuyasha running fiercely behind Sesshomaru. The gun shots were heard in the distance. Sesshomaru surveyed the situation. The car was likely wired, but right now it was their only form of shelter. He opened the back door and threw the still unconscious Nobunaga inside.

“Inuyasha move your ass!”

Raged filled Inuyasha, his eyes were flickering red in anger. He could smell Kagome's blood, the scent was maddening. His mind was filled with the haunting primitive voice again.

`Kill them. Kill them all. Claim her. Kill.'

Inuyasha raced forward as fast as his legs would move, he ripped opened the passenger door, tossed Kagome inside and climbed in himself. The men were following on foot and were shooting at every inch of the car.

Kagome was still stunned, but the shattering of the back window made her come crashing back to reality. She grabbed her gun; turned and began firing shots outside the now broken window. Inuyasha made no movement, but turned and nodded to Sesshomaru. The car was taking on some heavy fire. Inuyasha tried to remain in control of himself, and focused his mind at the task at hand. His demon blood was begging to be fully released.

Sesshomaru started the company car and started barreling down the pier. Kagome was firing without any specific target, but tried to remain focused. She quickly glanced at Inuyasha and her cinnamon eyes met his bloody red ones. He was doing it again, just like the first day they met. He was trying to read her through her eyes.

Despite their grave situation, she smiled ever so slightly. It would have been mistaken for sadism by any other person, but Inuyasha knew what she was trying to say. `Let's go.' She turned back to the task at hand, and Inuyasha's demon blood subsided.

“Take the 115 to 31 and then to 45.” shouted Inuyasha. He then turned and helped give them some cover. The reckless driving was leaving skid marks down the pier, and the entire car sounded ready to die.

The enemy finally gave up, and the shots ceased. Kagome and Inuyasha turned around now to the front. Inuyasha sighed heavily, but was still very on edge. Sesshomaru glared out the front window and gripped the steering wheel tightly. Nobunaga was still unconscious in the backseat, ironically with a smile on his face. Inuyasha glanced over to Kagome.

“Shit. Kagome your arm.”

She looked down at her wound. Inuyasha took his jacket from the backseat, shredded it and made a makeshift band aid. Kagome nodded dumbly, clearly distracted, she glanced at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's head, hands, and knees were scraped, and bloody from the impact of their fall. Sesshomaru's right arm was dripping blood, and glass shards were lodged into his skin.

The scent of her blood was starting to stir the demon in him again, but Inuyasha willed his mind to remain in control. Kagome grabbed her arm to put pressure on the wound. Thankfully, her adrenaline was still pumping through her system, and she felt little pain. Inuyasha on the other hand was losing his mind with worry over her arm. He quickly turned away and focused on the outdoor scenery. He knew that she would ask about the fall. Not to mention his eye color. He grew more stressed with each thought.

Kagome closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the seat. She was tired.

The barely functioning car was the only sound that was heard. Each agent was consumed by their own thoughts.

`Was this set up really to kill us or something more? And how the hell did we survive that fall?' thought Kagome. Little did she know that this case was about to get a lot more difficult then she could ever imagine.

When they finally arrived back at the office it was close to eleven. Since the car was about to fall apart, they had to drive ridiculously slowly. Sesshomaru was livid by this point. He called into the booking center for inmates, and requested…actually demanded someone come and retrieve Nobunaga from the back seat of his car. They walked inside the building.

“I'm going upstairs to sort this out with the Nobunaga situation. You two get to the infirmary, now.” Sesshomaru stormed straight to the elevator leaving two tired and confused agents in his wake.

“Come on the Kaede is still probably down there.”

Kagome nodded and followed Inuyasha to the elevator. They entered and descended down to the lower level of the building. Inuyasha fidgeted slightly irritated at the blood still leaking from Kagome's wound. Thankfully Kagome was so distracted with her own thoughts that she didn't notice his jumpiness or her own pain.

She sighed and scooted a little closer to Inuyasha unintentionally. He looked at her, and she looked at him. He suddenly got irritated and looked away again. Kagome moved back feeling like she was going to get scolded.

The elevator reached its destination and opened. Kagome was slightly shocked the infirmary was larger than she expected. It really looked like a mini hospital. There were beds lining the walls, and medical supplies were lying about on every counter space. It was completely empty except for an old woman sitting behind a desk. She was reading a newspaper and looking quite displeased.

“Kaede” said Inuyasha rather rudely

Kaede glanced up from her paper and ushered the pair inside to a curtained room with one bed, and motioned them to sit without saying a word.

“Treat her first she has a gunshot wound in her arm.”

“Inuyasha, really it only skimmed my arm, you the bullet isn't lodged in there.”

“All the same. I don't need you laid up because we have work to do.”

Kaede brought out a container of medical supplies. She lifted up Kagome's sleeve and began to clean the wound.

“So Inuyasha care to explain?” inquired Kaede.

“Actually Kaede, no I wouldn't.” Inuyasha was very irritated; his demon blood was coming back.

Kaede noticed Inuyasha's irritation and looked into his face. She knew what was happening. She continued to bandage up quickly Kagome.

“Now Kagome why don't you go to the bathroom down the hall and wash up a bit; I should be finished with Inuyasha by then, okay?”

Kagome nodded, but she knew something was up. She started down the hall and opened the bathroom door and then closed it. She then crept back to the curtain, but remained a good distance away as not to be discovered.

Kaede started to clean Inuyasha's head wound, and she heard to click of the bathroom door down the hall. Feeling safer to talk to began her interrogation.

“What do you think you are doing Inuyasha.” She said harshly

“What do you mean?” he played dumb.

“You know exactly what I mean! How could you be so foolish as to work with that girl! Do you know what could happen?” she stated.

Kagome was very confused. `Work with me why would it matter?'

“Kaede, you know as well as I do, I can't control it. What do you expect me to do? Demand that she be reassigned. She was sent to us, it's out of my hands. Besides I already tried to talk Sesshomaru into it.”

He was angry. He was sick of explaining himself to everyone within a two mile radius. He knew that he had to control himself and he knew he could do it.

“I see. Perhaps I could give you the remedy to help you remain human.”

On the other side of the curtain Kagome was slightly freaking out. It all made sense. The eye color. Her scent. Why they survived the fall. He was…he was…well she really didn't know. But he wasn't what he appeared to be that was for sure. He leaned against the cool wall and breathed shallowly.

“Don't worry about it. I can handle it.” He said stubbornly.

Kaede sighed. He really was a stubborn idiot.

“Well, you better warn her or else she is going to be in a whole new world of trouble.” They remained silent while Kaede finished bandaging Inuyasha.

Kagome was taken aback by the new in information; but she knew she had to come back into the room; no one took this long in the bathroom.

Kagome rounded the corner and went behind the curtain. Kaede was smiling very warmly at her.

“Now my dear you and Inuyasha shall be just fine. Take these for pain relief.” She handed each of them a small bottle of little white pills. Get plenty of rest and come in and see me in a few days, okay?”

Kagome smiled back and her and shook her hand and thanked her. Inuyasha hopped off of the bed and just nodded in agreement. They exited the infirmary and went back to the elevator.

***

Kagome had taken a cab home about an hour ago and was now lying in her bed pondering. She tossed and turned in futile attempts to get comfortable. Not only was her mind racing, but her arm was really hurting now. She thought of the new information she had obtained today.

Satou was at large and a huge shipment was coming in soon. They had to be prepared. Tomorrow would be a planning day. After that would probably be training. In other words tomorrow was going to be hell.

She sighed heavily again. She knew she was going to work hard here, but she didn't know that it would happen this fast.

Her thoughts drifted to Inuyasha. She couldn't deny her obvious attraction to the man. He was dashing, slightly charming when he wanted to be, caring, but the gods know he certainly had his faults. She smiled to herself at that thought. She rolled on her back and looked at the ceiling. She couldn't understand her attraction to him. From the moment she set eyes on him, she just couldn't stop wondering about him.

She wouldn't have even been in that mess today if she wasn't so engrossed with his every action. Every time she was with him, she got this feeling. A strange one, not happy, not love, not attraction… she really didn't know what it was, but she like it.

She was beginning to feel sleepy. She closed her eyes. Before she drifted into a deep slumber she thought, there were a few things that were certain. Satou was coming. Inuyasha isn't human. And above all he wanted her.
