It was a typical morning. People below were scurrying, not as hasty as they usually did. The sun wasn't all that blazing and people chatted carelessly by the street. The birds flew by, chirping merrily signaling a bright new day. Some people would have thought that this was a beautiful day. Kagome thought it was far from it.
Kagome awoke from her sleep. She fluttered her eyes open as the sunlight seeped through her blinds. Blinking a couple of times she got up and fully opened them. The happiness that radiated from outside gave her a depressing look, her face blank and void of positive emotions.
After a minute of just staring, she went to her bathroom and examined herself in the mirror. She just had a mission last night which she completed without any harm. The victim? It was a lowly human who "forgot" to pay back her boss. He had owed her boss 2 thousand and hadn't paid back for five years. She looked at her reflection, easily seeing a scared girl looking back. She had dark hair, just like a raven's, her eyes a bright blue. She had a calm demeanor about her but there was something underneath that was crying, trying to reach for any sort of help. But that feeling was buried down so deep that she didn't even realize it was there.
Kagome quickly took a shower. Her cool blue eyes closing as the warm water hit her chest. She sighed in content.
When Kagome finished the phone suddenly rang. She wrapped a white towel around her body and walked towards it casually. She picked up the phone and answered it in a completely fake voice. "Hello. This is Kagome Higurashi speaking." She informed the caller nicely.
"Kagome! It's me Sango!"
Suddenly, the girl's solemn face brightened somewhat as she allowed a small smile to be planted on her lips. "Sango! Hey! What's going on?" she asked curiously.
"Did you see the news this morning? Mr. Gubinsou got murdered last night! He used to be our English teacher when we still went to school, remember?" she asked her.
Kagome pretended to sound sad. "Really?" She feigned surprised. "What happened?" She asked over the phone.
"In the news it said he got a blow to the head!"
"Wow. That's so sad," she said with the most pitiful voice she could muster. "I liked Mr. Gubinshou. He was a reallu nice English teacher." She lied through her teeth. 'Yeah right.' She thought sarcastically. 'The guy tried to lead me on once. Pathetic.'
"Yeah I know. It's depressing. But hey good news! My little brothers coming to visit me this week end!"
At the news, Kagome's expression turned into curiosity. "Really? Kohaku-kun is coming back? I asked with growing anticipation. Sango's parents had divorced back a few years ago and the two siblings got separated. Kohaku went with their father, moving out of Japan while Sango moved into Tokyo with her mother. Unfortunately, her mother died of cancer and now she lived with her grandma.
Sango sighed. "Yeah. But now he's going to be transferred to a school here in Tokyo and that means he could visit me!"
Kagome smiled. "Okay. So why not buy him a few welcoming home gifts? We could have like a mini welcoming party!" Kagome suggested.
"Yeah! That's a great idea! Okay what time do you want to meet at the mall. 10:30?"
Kagome glanced at her green clock hanging on her wall. It read 9:35. "Yeah sure. I'll be there!" She said happily. "Meet you there 'kay?"
"Yeah sure. See you!"
"Okay. Bye." And she hung up the phone.
She had met Sango when she was in high school. She was the first person who ever had the guts to actually try to befriend her. Because, back then, Kagome was considered to be a Goth and people didn't go anywhere near her if it helped.
Opening up her closet, she took out a light blue T-shirt and a white skirt that ended to her knees. She decided to tie up her hair in a high pony tail. After she had put on her white socks and rubber shoes, she went out of her apartment, taking the purse along with her.
She had a hot black sports car in the parking lot but she doesn't use it when she is not on missions. She took the train and arrived at the mall at 10:45. 'Crap.' She cursed inwardly as she glanced at her watch. She just shrugged. 'It's only 15 minutes. I'm sure she won't rip my head off.'
She entered the mall and she saw Sango sitting impatiently on one of the benches. Kagome approached her. "Hey Sango!"
Sango stood up and turned around to meet Kagome's eyes. They were mad and irrupted at first glance but once she saw Kagome it turned back to a cheerful spark. "Kagome! You're late!" She scowled playfully.
Kagome laughed nervously. "I had a few troubles on my way here?"
Sango giggled. "It doesn't matter. Now come on! Let's go!"
They walked around the mall until they came across the 'What's New' place. After Sango begged to go in she found herself buying a fluffy cat plushie. "I think I'll call her Kirara!" she exclaimed. 'Kirara' was a cat plushie that was both golden and yellow. Overall, it was a pretty cute miniature of a tiger.
They went in and out of various shops until they came across the perfect gift for Sango's younger brother. It was a movie that was recently released called 'High Tide', an action and tragedy movie.
They quickly bought the thing and ran out of the store. Later on they had a lunch break. So far they bought his present, the cat plushie, a few clothes and a new sim card. Kagome hardly bought anything. She already had what she needed.
They both bought some hot chips and then they sat down at a table. Then they started to talk about stuff. You know. Girl talk. Until three handsome wolf demons approached them. One of them spoke up. "Hey Kagome." He said casually. He had dark blue eyes and he had a small pony tail. He was wearing a grey t-shirt and baggy pants.
Kagome looked up and smiled. "Hey Kouga-kun!" She said.
Sango just glared at him. She didn't like him to say the least. He was always flirting with Kagome and she knew he wasn't a good guy. "What do you want?" She hissed as she eyed Kouga suspiciously. 'He better not be here because of Kagome.' she thought threateningly.
Kouga ignored her and grasped Kagome's hand. "I just wanted to see how my 'woman' was doing." He said coolly as he stared into Kagome's blue orbs.
Kagome plastered on one of her all so famous fake smiles and gently tried to tug her hand out of his grasp. Sango slammed the table with her hand as she stood up. "Get out of here now!" she yelled in both disgust and loathing. Personally, Kouga never really did anything to her. It's just his cocky attitude and the way he acts around… well, everyone. Plus, Sango suspected he was part of a gang.
Kouga slowly let go of Kagome's hand and glared at Sango. "Beware bitch. If you keep getting in my way then I'll make sure you're as dead as meat." He threatened.
Sango's anger rose. "Is that a threat you mangy wolf? I'll have you know that I could kill you right this minute!"
Kouga smirked. "I would never die in the hands of a lowly human like you."
Kagome too stood up. "Please Kouga-kun." She pleaded. "Can you please go?" She asked with a sad smile on her face. Kagome didn't like him very much either. But for the sake of her outward appearance, she had to put up with him although she wanted to kill him half the time.
Kouga thought for a moment before turning away. He then glanced over his shoulder. "I'll be back." He said as he walked off.
Kouga's friends Ginta and Hakkaku glanced at Kagome and Sango and said a silent "Hey." Before following Kouga.
Both of them stood for awhile before both of them sat down again. "I'm sorry Sango for what he said to you." She said sadly.
Sango snorted. "You shouldn't be apologizing for the jerk Kagome. Next time I see him I'm going to kick his sorry ass."
Both laughed and then talked more for a little bit before they stood up again and decided to shop some more.
When they sat down at a bench for a little break Kagome glanced at her watch. "Oh my god! It's 8: 35!" She cried.
Sango stood up immediately. "Oh shit! I have to get back! Okay see you Kagome!" She said as she picked up her bags and ran off. "See you tomorrow!" She said over her shoulder as she ran out of sight.
Kagome sighed and started her trip back to her apartment.
She walked for awhile and was nearly back. Only a block away. The sky was a dark inky blue and some people walked past her on the walk path. The city lights were pretty bright but not so bright that you might get blinded by them at first glance.
As she was walking down the path walk her mobile started to ring. She stopped and reached for her pockets and pulled out a silver flip phone. She pressed the green button and pulled her phone to her ear. "Hello?" She asked.
"Kagome. We have another mission for you tonight." A voice said though the phone.
Kagome's lips made a smirked, showing off her fangs as her eyes turned darker. "Be right there." She said before she hung up. She put the cell back in her pocket and then started to sprint back to her apartment building. And no she didn't look like a crazy girl running funnily on the block. She was after all a demon. Maybe not a full one. She was a half demon with a human mother. Her father was a full blooded neko demon.
She always masked her scent with a little potion her boss gave her. She ran with demonic speed back to the car park. She then pulled out her keys and opened the door to her dead black sports car. She ignited the engine and began to speed off towards their headquarters.
She drove for good 5 minutes before she came across a huge mansion. It had black iron gates. She pulled up in their drive way and reached the gates.
"Who's there?" Said a voice from the speaker.
"Kagome Higurashi." She said. She smirked at the income. "How you doing Maten?" She asked casually.
"Just fine Kagome. Our boss wants to see you."
Kagome rolled her eyes. "No shit. Just open the gates already."
There was a snicker at the other side. "You can't wait to see blood can you Ms. Higurashi?" Maten asked.
Kagome purred. "The sight makes my blood cool."
The gates opened and Kagome drove up.
She then parked and entered the mansion on foot. Once she was inside she was met with a familiar face. "Kanna." She said with a smile. She was just behind the door, as if she was expecting her.
"Ms. Higurashi." She replied. Her voice as emotionless as ever. Her gray eyes stared at Kagome but it was like she was staring right through her. Her naturally white hair fell onto her shoulders, her tiny demonic hands grasping her weapon. A mirror. "Do you know the way to the boss's room?" She asked quietly.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "I come here almost every night! I think I would know where it is by now." she told the demonic child with a smirk. She then past Kanna, heading towards the staircase.
She walked many stairs and hallways to come across a familiar room. She opened the door. She saw many familiar things inside. At the other end was a desk, upon it were some papers and a laptop. Just in the other corner was a lamp giving off a really dim light. The purple and black curtains hung from the ridiculously large windows, casting an eerie light as the moon shone through. Kagome stared around the room. Everything was either coloured in black or purple. "Ahh Kagome. So nice of you to come."
Kagome then stepped inside the room and sat in front of the armchair where a certain demon was siting on, just behind the desk. She didn't bow. "It's always a pleasure Naraku." Kagome said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
Naraku smirked. "I have another mission for you."
Kagome stared at him skeptically. "No duh! Why else would you call me? Just to say hi?" She said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. She then looked at Naraku with a heated yet excited look on her face. "So. Who's the poor soul this time?" She asked in a monotone.
Naraku then picked up a glass of wine and sipped some of it before he set it down again. "His name is Hojo Akitoki. He's owes me 9 thousand yen and he hasn't payed back for 3 years now. We need you to teach him a lesson. Permanently."
Kagome was mentally jumping for joy in the inside although her demeanor was calm. "How?" She asked, not able to hide the smirk escaping from her lips. "That jerk has been pissing me off lately." She said out loud. 'Hojo isn't a really bad guy though.' She thought. 'But it just drives me insane that he keeps on sending me these weird gifts and funny looks. Every time I meet him, I just want to smash his head in.'
Naraku just chuckled. "Then tonight is your lucky day. He will be hosting a birthday party tonight and I want you to be there."
Kagome snorted uncharacteristically. "I already have his invitation. He gave it to me on sight." She then chuckled. "I'm going to give him a shocking present!"
Naraku smirked. "Okay then. Go with Kanna and change clothes." He said as he eyed her. "Go with something more… seductive." He smirked.
Kagome's eyes lit up with both irritation and growing rage. "I'm not some kind of slut, you know." She hissed at him. "Why the hell do you always think I am?" she asked agitated.
The demon licked his lips. "Because you have the body of one." He purred.
Before she could even retort, a voice came from behind her. "Ms. Higurashi." A low, emotionless voice spoke. "I have you clothes."
Kagome gasped lightly and turned around to find out it was only Kanna. She held her hand up to her chest. "Shit Kanna! Don't scare me like that! I swear you can just materialize from air!" she said in a low squeal. Sometimes, Kanna could just scare her witless.
15 minutes later Kagome came out of the dressing rooms wearing a completely different outfit. She wore a black tank top with the words 'If you have a problem with the way I look, go jump in a lake' that hugged tight against her curves and extremely short black mini skirt, showing off her long lean legs.
Naraku eyed her lustfully. As she turned to go, she stopped and gave a look over her shoulder. Ever bit of her being was disgusted with the way he was eyeing her up and down. Before she slammed the door in his face, she said. "Take a picture. It'll last longer." Of course, she didn't let him take one.
-x-
Half an hour later she arrived at Hojo's house. She drove away from the drive way and parked a couple of houses away. She got out and walked towards his house.
When she knocked she was greeted with her victim. "Hojo-kun!" She said happily.
Hojo smiled and welcomed her in. "I'm so glad you can make it Kagome-chan." He said as he closed the door. Inside the house were a lot of people dancing to pop music. Some were drinking beer and Kagome could smell the sex. Hojo then tapped her shoulder. "You look great. You wanna dance?" He asked.
Kagome agreed and began dancing with him. When they or rather he got tired they both stopped and began to drink beer on his sofa. After a few cups Hojo turned to Kagome, possibly drunk. He eyed her. "You look hot." He said as he reached towards her and began nibbling on her ear.
Kagome pretended to moan but inside she was puking. Hojo then sat up and grabbed her wrists. "Come on. Let's go to my bedroom." He said suggestively.
Kagome nodded and obediently followed. They went up the stairs, passing many drunken teenagers, and into his room where he locked the door. When he turned around to face her again Kagome pushed him against the wall. Hojo looked confused for a little bit before he started to get it. He then went for her lips but she turned her face the other way.
Hojo looked puzzled again before Kagome gave him a mischievous smirk. She then dragged Hojo away from the wall and pushed him gently on his bed. Kagome went on top of him and caged him with her arms and kegs. Hojo smiled. She smiled but it was more of a smirk. "You want play a little game Hojo-kun?" She asked/purred. Her face mere inches above his face.
He nodded and Kagome's smirk grew wider. She then began to nibble on his ear as his hands snaked his way up her legs. Kagome stopped him there and smiled.
She then sat up and reached for something strapped high on her thigh. She took it out and pointed the gun directly at his face. His eyes grew wide as he stuttered cowardly. "K-Kagome-chan? W-w-what's g-going o-on?" he asked terrified as his eyes crossed to see the barrel of the object she was pointing at him.
Kagome stared at him with hard eyes. "You haven't been paying up Hojo-kun. And I'm afraid because of that you have to die." She said coldly.
And before he could yell or scream he was shot dead in the middle of his eyes. Blood splattered all over her clothes and face but she didn't mind. She wiped the blood off her cheeks as she smiled evilly.
Kagome hopped off and got out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away her fingerprints in the gun. She then took Hojo's hands and made it grasp the gun. She then let it drop.
She then cleaned up every bit of evidence that she was there, just in case. After awhile she heard footsteps coming up the steps. She quickly opened his window and leapt out, landing on her feet just like a cat, on all fours. She then walked away from the house as a scream shouted out in the very same room.
Casually, she jumped back into her car and dialled a number into her phone. It rang three times "Hello?" The voice answered. It was Naraku.
"Mission completed." She said in a monotone as she snapped her phone close. She began to drive away, back to her apartment block. And on the way, she saw flashing blue and red lights, heading towards the Akitoki residence.
