InuYasha took a protective stance, his sword pointing at the brunette who wore a white head band. Kagome looked over the hanyou's shoulder, the man looked familiar but she couldn't place it until the growl erupted from both 'men', "Fuzz-ball!"

Shido growled, "IT'S Fuyuki Shido, say it with me, FU-YU-KI SHIN-DO."

Miroku turned to Kagome, "Kagome-sama, this was the friend you were searching for?"

She nodded, "One of them, the other is 'Ito no Kazuki'"

Shido frowned, "Kagome-chan, what are you doing here? Does Ginji know you're here?"

Kagome nodded, "Yes he knows I'm here but I need to talk to you about something."

Shido sent a glance back towards the mansion he's been staying at before turning his attention back to the girl who was his friend, "Sure what do you need?"

Kagome took a cleansing breath before she smiled slightly, "When did you stop being the gangly puppy I knew from so long ago?"

InuYasha growled under his breath at the dog reference and Kagome smiled and rubbed his ears, "Sorry, InuYasha."

Shido glared at the familiarity shared between the two, a familiarity that he had hoped to have fostered if she had been able to stay. Miroku managed to step up beside the Beast Master, "Kagome-sama and InuYasha share a special bond. But I assure you, she is still quite available."

Kagome appeared behind the monk and boxed the lecher upside his head, "Ignore my lecherous friend. I guess I wanted to know, who hired the GetBackers?"

Shido paused, "I'm not sure but if you check with their Contractor, she might know who hired them, why?"

Kagome didn't answer; but Miroku did, "We seem to have had an unfortunate encounter with them. They did attack Kagome and InuYasha at her home. Could you please tell us the name of the fair maiden who hires their services?"

Kagome tugged on his small ponytail, "No propositioning her, or I'll tell Sango."

He protested at the unsavory insinuation and at the pain from the sharp tug. But the miko ignored him and paid attention to Shido who had pulled out a cell phone and was calling HEVN.

Kagome thanked Shido again as she and the others left the beast master to go on their way. Even though he couldn't get the information of who hired Ginji and Ban he did manage to figure out that the person who hired the GetBackers wanted to expand his collection and had hired three more people on the same case.

Shido watched the girl…no young woman, leave his presence with a sigh. The lion walked up and rubbed against him, silently telling the teen to take the pack and follow them. But the scent of blood faintly drifted over to where he was and he ran after the scent before he knew it whose it was.

It didn't take long to figure out that it belonged to Kagome; he recognized the spicy scent anywhere. His animals quickly followed behind, most of them had known her since she was a small girl. He arrived to see Kurodou Akabane use one of his signature moves, "Bloody Rain," but to his surprise Kagome, who was bleeding from a cut on her arm, raised her arms and a pink shield appeared and stopped all the scalpels and they fell harmlessly to the sides of the barrier creating a circle around them. Dr. Jackal blinked, he had never seen anything like that in his experiences as a transporter he had never seen anything like the pink shield. Himiko who had stayed mostly out of the way pulled out several bottles of perfume and Kagome recalling what she had read on the internet figured this girl for 'Lady Poison' from what she had read the woman liked to use Devolution Perfume and Flame Perfume.

She mentioned it to Miroku, as the girl was prepping for an attack, and pulled out her bow and arrows. When the 20 year old let loose the perfume, Kagome fired a hana no ya into the glittering red cloud descending towards them. Lady Poison watched as her precious Flame Perfume had disappeared and an arrow dropped harmlessly to the ground.

Kagome watched as Himiko grabbed Dr. Jackel's arm and the crooked doctor bowed to them, "It has been a delight and I can not wait for the next time we cross paths."

A mac-truck swerved behind them and they leapt on and the truck not stopping pulled away. Miroku sighed, "Kagome-sama, remind me not to take your remarks of your time being safe seriously in the future."

Kagome laughed before she winced and placed a hand on her arm, "If I do make that comment anytime in the future you can hit me."

Shido went up to her and led her to the house where he was sure they could find help to bandage her arm.

He stopped in his tracks when he noticed that his girlfriend had tapped her way to where he was, "Shido-kun, who are you friends?"

Gods I'm so sorry this has taken forever and that it was so short. I had the whole idea fleshed out in my head but I was more incline to work on other stories…no updates until July in any story (I plan on following this I have 18 days to write nine papers and I haven't done the readings yet.) PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR UPDATES! It makes me feel bad that I won't be able to head your requests…and it WILL be a Shido-kag fic!
