Chapter seven, comin' right up!

Just so you know, the van they're using is like a SWAT van, so it has no car seats behind the driver and passenger, just equipment like guns, a phone, computer, and other tech-y stuff. And a sliding door. Not sure why I added that… Sometimes, it's just hollow.

So sorry I broke my promise. This weekend has been HECKTIC! First, on Saturday, I had to go to lunch and dinner with my parents' friends, so I had to go full on angel mode. Then Sunday, I had to help out with setting up my nephew's party. Once again, so sorry.

Enjoy!

Chapter 7: A Woman's Job

"Geez, where is that woman?" Sango impatiently asked, once again.

"You do know she has a name, right?" Miroku mistakenly asked.

Sango turned to glare at him from the passenger seat of the van. "Oh, so now you're 'buddies' with the most wanted woman in Japan?" she furiously solicited.

Miroku put his hands up in defense. "No. I'm just saying, since we're going to be working with her for a while, we should at least call her by her name."

"Like hell I'm going to call the thief and murderer by her name!"

Inuyasha blatantly watched as the couple bickered. They had waited two long hours for Kagome to arrive. He wondered what she could be doing at this hour.

The van was black, so it blended with the night. Just across from the van was the Poker Plaza, the poker club exclusive to demons. The place was isolated from other buildings around. There were two dark alleyways on both sides.

It was decided that Shippo would stay at the precinct, no matter how much he begged.

It was planned that Inuyasha would go in, but as promised, they waited for Kagome.

But Inuyasha had had enough.

"That's it, we're done waiting. I'm going in."

"Dude, there are tons of demons in there." Miroku argued.

"I'm pretty sure I can handle myself."

Inuyasha rose from his seat in the back of the van. He began to open the door.

"Wait!" Sango called. "You need a camera on your shirt." She climbed out of her chair into the back, opened a small drawer, and took out a small square-like device. "This is a spy camera. It attaches to your shirt. Everything you see, we'll see, too." Sango gave the spy camera to Inuyasha. "Now remember the plan. You are only going to smoke Raimei out of the building, where there isn't a hoard of demons around you. Then, once you're out of the building, we'll arrest him. Don't do something stupid, like you always do."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Got it."

He exited the van and examined his surroundings. He could see a junky female prostitute walk towards the Plaza. Just before she entered, she winked at him. Oh, Lord help me.

Inuyasha opened the large door into the Plaza. He saw two goons in black suits at the bottom of a staircase, probably leading to the real party. The goons glared stoutly at him, before moving aside to let him pass.

Woo! It worked.

Inuyasha slowly climbed the stairs. When he reached, he could see a dozen poker tables all around, all seated with gruesome looking demons. Female demons in skimpy clothing were marching around the room, looking for the highest bidder. The demon prostitute Inuyasha saw earlier was on the lap of another demon, chewing on his ear. Inuyasha scanned the room. He saw Manten Raimei at the table to the left, and an empty seat to his side. He approached the seat and sat down. Suddenly, all the demons stopped their activities and lifted their hideous faces to stare at Inuyasha. He heard a demon mutter from behind, "Half-breed."

This is going to be a lot tougher than I thought.

Inuyasha turned around and saw the demon who called out to him. It was none other than Manten Raimei himself.

"So, half-breed, you ready to lose?"

Yep, way tougher than I thought.

Sango and Miroku carefully watched the monitor displaying the camera's view. Sadly, the camera had no audio, so they could not hear anything.

Currently, they were staring at a bunch of dreadful demons around a poker table.

Just then, a female demon in a scanty outfit walked past the table. Miroku drooled a bit.

Sango smacked him in the face. "You damn perv."

Miroku rubbed the mark Sango left on his face. "But Sango, the temptation was too great."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

"So, whatcha doing?"

Both Sango and Miroku fell out of their chairs when they heard the voice.

"Can you not sneak up on us?!" She furiously asked Kagome.

"Sorry, force of habit."

"Where were you?" Miroku not-so-furiously asked. "And how did you get in the van? The door was locked."

"I was out getting this." She raised the plastic bag in her hand. "And, um, hello? They don't call me a thief for nothing, you know."

"What's in the bag?" Sango asked somewhat less furiously.

Kagome opened the bag and pulled out a pair of fake cat ears, cat eye contacts, and false fangs.

"It took you two hours to buy this junk?!" Sango said, once again, furiously.

Kagome shrugged. "Hey, there are very few costume shops than you think. And I'm talking about Tokyo."

Sango fell back into her chair with her head in her heads. She had had enough of this crazy criminal.

"Anyway, where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"He went inside." Miroku said.

"He what?!"

"Well, we couldn't keep waiting for you all night." Sango said.

"Are you guys insane? There is a horde of demons in there waiting to pounce." Kagome grabbed the false teeth and cat eye contacts. "Never send a man to do a woman's job."

"What are you doing?" Miroku asked in confusion.

Kagome faced him with demon fangs and cat eyes. "I'm gonna go in there, and if I'm not out in fifteen minutes, call for back-up."

Sango stood up. "What are you going to do, lipgloss 'em to death?"

Kagome put on the cat ears. Now, she looked exactly like a cat demoness. "Something like that."

She stepped outside the van. Shamelessly, she took off her leggings, hiked up her sweater dress, and pulled up her breasts so her cherry red bra was showing.

Both detectives stared in awe at the woman.

"Can I borrow your heels?" she asked Sango.

In a trance, Sango willingly took off her black high heels and gave them to Kagome. She looked stunning wearing the ensemble. She glanced at herself in the side view mirror and then marched off toward the Plaza, leaving two very confused detectives.

"So damn sexy," Miroku murmured. Sango smacked him in the face again.

"Perv."

"That's right, boys! I win the pot!" Inuyasha shouted in triumph. All the demons at the table groaned in despair. They had lost all their money to some half-breed.

"I'll just go get my fifty grand from the clerk." Inuyasha got up to claim his prize. He walked off to the clerk when he felt something poke at his back.

"No one beats money out of Manten Raimei." The demon growled. Then, Inuyasha realized that he had a gun to his back. I did not see that coming.

"Walk, half-breed." The two of them entered the kitchen. The demon turned Inuyasha around so that the gun was in his face. "Are you that much of an idiot to walk into demon territory, detective?"

Inuyasha stood shocked. "How did you—"

"Do you think of me as a fool? I've killed enough cops to know their behavior."

Damn it!

"Now, I wouldn't bother calling for help. Nobody here will save you, and no human is foolish enough to come here."

"Maybe except me."

Both men turned to see a very attractive woman in the kitchen doorway.

Kagome!? Wearing a cat outfit!?

"Who are you?" Manten asked.

"To put it short, your worst nightmare."

Kagome grabbed the gun in his hands and swiftly jabbed him in the eye with the hilt. She twisted his arm to his back and slammed him against a table, with the gun to his temple.

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha glanced at her outfit. "And what the hell are you wearing?"

"Just hang on a sec." Kagome cleared her throat and said in a high and mighty voice, "Manten Raimei, you are under arrest for the murder of Shōbō Kasai."

She turned to him and whispered, "That is so cool!"

Inuyasha shook his head. What the hell have I gotten myself into?

Yes, yes, I know. Very short. But I have been drawing a blank this past week, and this is all I've got.

So sorry about all the broken promises, you can flame me later. Right now, I need to say a few things before I go.

So, in about two weeks, I will be starting. Now, you must think that that means, AW MAN, EVEN LONGER UPDATES! Well, it is the exact opposite. At least, I think it is.

Going back to school means I will have more inspiration for new chapters and story plotlines and actually longer chapters. Yup, crazy right? It also means that I will be at the library more often and I will be reading books about criminology and the process of solving a case and such, so I won't have people on my ass saying, "Oh, that part of the story is wrong, they should be doing this and that and etc."

Yes, I will have homework and extracurricular and other stuff, but I will do my best and work very hard, just for you guys!

(Well, not really for you guys. I just want to do better than last year. (don't wanna talk about it) I really wanna go to college at New York University, so I need to get good grades. Best part: no college sports, so I don't have to do any sport. Haha, I'm lazy.)

Also, I have noticed that a lot of people ask a lot of questions in this chapter. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I will be back very soon.

That's all folks!

Psyche! It's not over!

I have to ask you guys a really big question…

Should Sesshomaru be:

A) A super hot FBI special agent

B) A super hot politician

C) A super hot CIA agent

?.

Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Alright, now it's over.

That's all folks! (Take 3)
