Operation: Will You Be My Valentine?
A/N- This story was one that originally was supposed to be posted for Valentines day, but I didn't get it started in time...so I thought I'd put it up just for the heck of it...
Enjoy!
Pt 1: Setting The Plan In Motion
'Tomorrow's the day, I just hope I have everything ready...' shifting into a sitting position, Kagome looked down at the five envelopes and letters that were spread out before her.
"Are you sure about this Kagome, I don't want you to get into any trouble doing this..." glancing over her shoulder, Kagome smiled into the worried face of her mother.
"It'll be alright mom...besides, that jerk has it coming to him..." turning back to her 'project' Kagome lifted the first one and folded the letter before sliding it into the envelope. She did this with the other four and lifting her pen, Kagome wrote down her five chosen names on each of the envelopes.
"There..." smiling to herself, Kagome looked over her handiwork, "I think I'm ready, is there anything that you think I'm missing mom?"
Hearing a sigh greet her, Kagome turned to watch as her mother knelt at her side, "well...how are you going to get these to them on time, your timing would be essential for it to work properly."
Smirking, Kagome gathered up the five letters and quickly got to her feet, "that part is simple enough, I know right where all of them are anyway, so I just have to send these to them. Anyway, thanks for your help mom, I'll repay you for this somehow."
Reaching for her bag, Kagome stashed the letters inside quickly before slinging it up and over her shoulder, "well, I better get going now before the brat has a hissy fit. I'll see you in a week mom and try to get Gramps to come up with a better illness this time? Bye!"
Waving, Kagome turned and booked it out of the house heading to the well house, upon entering it Kagome found herself giggling at what the look on InuYasha's face would be when she told him. 'This is going to be so much fun, oh, I just can't wait!'
She had been planning this for weeks and now it was all coming to fruition, Kagome had thought long and hard on what her position was with InuYasha when it came to choosing between herself and Kikyou, she knew that in the end Kikyou would always come first for InuYasha.
So Kagome had given up, she had thought that she was in love with InuYasha but after spending three years with him, Kagome knew that it was just some school girl crush and that in the end he would be nothing more than a friend to her.
But still, that didn't make it alright for him to leave without telling anyone and making her and everyone else worry about him, he needed to be taught a lesson and Kagome had found the perfect way to do it.
"Well, here we go."
Smirking, Kagome leapt down the well and as she was bathed in its pure blue light, Kagome felt something strange stir in the back of her mind. Pushing it aside as nothing, Kagome landed upon the other side of the well and let out the breath she hadn't known she'd been holding.
Taking her time to climb up the well, Kagome masked her scent and as soon as she was out of the well, Kagome ran into the trees making sure to be as quiet as possible.
Once this was done, Kagome hurried to where she had stashed her bike just the other day, finding it just where she left it Kagome got on it and made her way towards the northern mountains.
She had told InuYasha that she would be back that afternoon, so Kagome had about 8 hours until InuYasha came looking for her, 'plenty of time to get these to them and get back.'
It took about an hour before Kagome reached the mountains that she had helped Kouga and his pack defeat the bird demons, letting her spell drop and her power and scent fill the area, Kagome waited and soon she felt the familiar approach of two jewel shards.
Reaching into her bag, Kagome drew out the first of the five letters and held it close as she watched the steady approach of a whirlwind, as it drew near and dissipated Kouga's smiling form was revealed.
"Kagome, what are you doing here? Have you finally decided to become my mate?" As Kouga approached her, Kagome shook her head, "no Kouga, I just wanted to give this to you and ask you for a favor if you would..."
Raising an eyebrow in questioning, Kouga took the letter that Kagome held out to him and gave a solid nod of his head, "anything for you...just ask."
Smiling, Kagome placed a hand on Kouga's shoulder as she glanced down at her watch, "I need you to help me deliver four letters, so...will you help me?"
Kouga placed a hand on top of Kagome's as he tilted his head, "sure, so who are these four other people that you want me to find?"
Sighing, Kagome released Kouga's shoulder only to set her backpack down before walking back over and going around to where she was standing behind Kouga, "first is a human named Akitoki Houjo, he should be wandering somewhere in the east forest, at least, that's where I saw him last."
Snorting, Kouga lifted Kagome onto his back and after popping his neck, Kouga sped off in that direction. He was curious to what was in these letters and why Kagome had sought him out all alone, usually InuYasha would follow her everywhere.
Shaking off those thoughts, Kouga picked up his pace and just focused upon finding this, Houjo guy that Kagome was looking for.
It took half an hour but finally Kouga had caught the scent of the person they were looking for, sliding to a dusty stop next to the half dressed man, Kouga had to hold back his laughter at the look of utter shock and surprise that shone in the guy's eyes.
Releasing her hold on Kouga's neck, Kagome pulled free and walked around to where she was facing the still frozen form of Houjo, picking out the letter addressed to Houjo, Kagome smirked as she slapped him in the face with it. "Snap out of it Akitoki."
At the sound of Kagome's voice, Houjo jumped slightly before his face flushed completely red as he dove for his haori, he had just realized that he was wearing only his hakamas and nothing else.
Gripping the flimsy piece of cloth to his chest, Houjo stared wide eyed at Kagome as if he couldn't believe his eyes, "Ka...Kagome?"
Merely smiling, Kagome slipped the letter addressed to Houjo into his clenched hands, "just read this and I'll talk to you later...Kouga, we need to find Sesshoumaru now."
Kouga nodded his head and lifted Kagome onto his back again before speeding off, he was just barely able to hear Houjo's whispered words and they angered him, "she's still beautiful..."
Surprisingly it took only ten to fifteen minutes before Kouga had located the Taiyoukai, slowing to a walk, Kouga set Kagome down and followed her into the clearing.
Standing but a few yards away was Sesshoumaru, from the look in his eyes he was clearly annoyed at their presence and Kouga felt a shiver rush up his spine, Kagome simply ignored it as she approached the stationary Taiyoukai.
Reaching him, Kagome bowed lightly before pulling out the third letter, "this is for you Sesshoumaru, I ask that you read it soon. It contains something that you might find very interesting." Bowing again, Kagome held the letter out to him but when he failed to take it, Kagome let out an annoyed sigh and stashed it in the front of Sesshoumaru's hakamas.
"As cold as ever aren't you? Anyway, just read it fluffy, come on Kouga...it's time to find Naraku." Seeing the surprised look flash through Sesshoumaru's eyes, Kagome smiled to herself before sprinting over to Kouga and motioning for them to make a run for it.
Not in any position to disagree, Kouga quickly lifted Kagome before hightailing it outta there.
Running for about an hour and a half, Kouga finally slid to a halt and put Kagome down, he had smelt Naraku around here like Kagome had wanted but at the moment he was more curious as to why Kagome wanted him to take her to Naraku in the first place.
Kagome was definitely up to something but what, Kouga still had yet to find out.
Stretching her back, Kagome looked through the trees that surrounded them and sensed the approach of several jewel shards, 'good, at least I can kill two birds with one stone now.'
Kouga tensed as he and Kagome watched the remaining members of the band of seven appear out of the trees, they were surrounded by flying insects and a large cloud of miasma.
"Look what we have here, it's the wolf and the girl, what a surprise..." Kagome rolled her eyes as she pulled out the last two letters and walked towards them, Bankotsu came to a halt as he motioned his brothers to do the same.
They had expected Kagome to pull out her bow and arrows before attacking them, but when Kagome simply pulled out a couple letters they were confused, "what are you doing here woman?"
"I didn't come fight you guys, I simply wished to give these to you." Stopping before Bankotsu, Kagome held out one of the letters to him, "this one is for you Bankotsu." Raising an eyebrow, Bankotsu took the letter and turned it over in his hand, curious as to why his enemy would give him a letter.
"Come on out Naraku, I know you're here." A moment later, the miasma condensed and out of it stepped Naraku, he looked curious as he eyed Kagome and Kouga. Smiling, Kagome walked right up to Naraku and held the remaining letter out to him, "the last one is yours Naraku. I want you both to read those and I'll see you both later."
Naraku hesitantly took the letter and eyed Kagome warily, he couldn't understand why this human woman would give him something when he was supposed to be her enemy.
Waving her hand, Kagome turned and walked over to a stunned looking Kouga, "I'm done, please take me back to where I left my stuff Kouga." Kouga gave her a wary look before nodding his head and lifting her up one last time, sending a glare in Naraku's direction, Kouga turned and took off again.
Two hours latter, Kagome had said her goodbyes to Kouga and began her journey back to InuYasha's forest, 'Now, to set the next step in motion.'
