Dancing with the Moon.

Hello this is Lady of the Squrriles I hope you enjoy the story and I'm sorry for my lack of skill in the grammical area -_- I would also like to say that a space means their is a change in scene or the end of the chapter (sad cry from audience...yeah right) I know I know how sad to see a chapter come to an end but don't worry if you review I will gladly update ^_^ (People pull out knives, pitch forks, car wheels....because of the whole Lady of the SQURRIELS you know.....ok) I will update and put no request on the number of reviews. This story is also an Alternate Universe fic. And as of now the story is in 3rd person but might change when the plot or chapter does. Any who it is DISCLAIMER TIME!!

Disclaimer: I wished I could own but I do not....so those who sue...I fear NOT!! But I do own the actual story ^_^ just nothing written by Rumiko Takahashi

As I walk down the halls of SR inc. or Shikon Research Incorporated, the walls clear and white....plain and dull most would say. They held a monotone perspective to them but, as long as my path was clear I knew I would be fine. I remember when I first started working here, I had a steady view on what I was going to do. And that was to make and maintain a name for myself in the Researching community. Fresh out of college and ready to bust down any door that stood in my way, I thought I was invincible! Who wouldn't be after graduating in the top 10% of your class? But after indulging myself in the joys of college life, the real world was upon me, one that was not so welcoming as a weekend party or top scores from your professors. The real world was something to be reckoned with something that was meant to be both feared and respected. My eyes were opened forcibly when I was first introduced to this new world. This new stainless and sanitized world of research. And I was accustomed to it. But maybe before I travel further into my tale I should tell you what my world is like, what is wrong, what is bad, and what is Taboo. In this world of walls and society, their is only two rules a human must follow...Never cross the wall....and never ask what is beyond it. Those are taught to you at birth, they are universal law. What you may ask is beyond those walls? Simply put ....Demons. Yes you heard correctly...Demons. They are what have reeked havoc on this poor abused world for thousands of years until now. They are now kept away from the eye of the everyday average person. They can no longer be seen or heard from the confining tomb blocked and sealed by walls that they rest in now. But I was to bold to listen, to eager to please those around me . Their was a reason behind them....I had to know!....I needed to Know! But this would be my ultimate downfall and damnation into the world that I wished to know more about but, became entrapped in.... instead.

"KAGOME....YOUR GOING TO BE LATE!!!!" screeched Souta from the bottom of the staircase. "Now Souta you know that won't work." sighed his mother "Kagome has a...let's say hard time waking up in the morning you know what to do." she smiled sweetly as she handed Souta a bucket of water. "Now go wake her up" not even flinching since this WAS their daily morning ritual. Souta clambered upstairs and stepped into Kagome's room. "Wakey wakey sister" Souta said in a motherly sweet voice but with sly sinister eyes. "It's time to...GET UP!!!!!" He said this while he poured the bucket of water onto her head. "SOUTA!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed with two flames for eyes. " You better run you little twerp!" Kagome said as she slid from her bed like a snake ready to pounce on a mouse. "ButmomsaiditwastimetogetupandIhavetogonowBYE" Souta said as the whites of his eyes got bigger and his face paler. He then preceded to sprint downstairs until his backpack was on and he was gone.(Hey that rhymed ^_^ so happy am I) Kagome not having had a chance to catch her fleeting prey presumed her way to the shower to get ready for work , saying to herself that she was glad this stay was only temporary or until she could find a new place to reside. Since her last residence due to her carelessness about tea kettels was now just a pile of ashes. She then began to message her temples for what was sure to be...a trying day *sigh*.

As Kagome stuffed a few more morsels of food into her mouth and cleaned some crumbs off her lab coat, she walked into the familiar halls of SR inc. or Shikon Research incorporated . It was a company hired by both Private and Governmental associations to investigate many of the daily occurrences in the world. Some research departments were needed for promotional things such as surveys and whatnot, while others were there for a more classified purpose. The halls were white, clean, and lackluster but, they were practical. For these halls were only a mere disguise for the darker side of SR. They held things that most could not even comprehend. Kagome now was at her destination, she came upon a door reading "DRA" or Demon research and analysis. A section that most would consider classified . As she slowly opened the door she straitened her coat and primed her midnight colored hair into a bun. She strolled into the room gazing and surveying all with her ocean Blue eyes. She saw the commonly scattered wall of papers waiting to be processed, the half eaten donuts and freezing coffee, various test tubes and beakers, and the half asleep friend handling dangerous chemicals.....WAIT A SEC! "MIROKU WAKE UP!" screamed Kagome "Don't you realize what could have happened if if...oh never mind, was it a late night again?" Miroku yawned sleepily stretching his arms out as far as he could towards a certain person. Causing Kagome to sidestep rolling her eyes and notice the disappointment crossing his face. "Yes Sango and I had to....Lets say...pull an all nighter if you know what I mean. He stated with a wink to his eye and a smile playing on his lips." BAM out of no where Sango had thrown a giant book at his head letting the girls stare at a unconscious assistant laying on the floor. Miroku and Sango...OHHH What a happy couple! Ahhhh so my audience is not so easily fooled I see ^_~ Sango and Miroku are Kagome's we'll say Lab buddies and friends. Miroku who although perverted is a lovable guy....sometimes while Sango though straight laced and conservative has a soft spot in her heart for the not so conservative Miroku. They Then started to clean up asking Kagome how her night off went. She could only answer with a sigh. " We need to get this place cleaned up before..." Kagome started but that who she was speaking of he who should not be named entered (an: JK ~_~ hehe) "KAGOME LOOK AT THIS PLACE!" said the "employer" "LOOK AT THIS.....THIS CLUTTER!" He continued on his daily pointless rant "AND TO THINK THAT TODAY OF ALL DAYS OUR BENEFACTOR IS COMING TO SPEAK TO US!" He claimed scoldingly. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN OUR BENEFACTOR?" Kagome screamed "EXACTLY WHAT I SAID OUR..." "Yes?" came a deep and rough voice dripping with something not so clear to Kagome. " I am here" " Oh yes make yourself at home....as best as you can Mr. Onigumo" stated Inuyasha with a voice of honey for our "benefactor" but eyes promising death for us. " That is not necessary Inuyasha" he stated in his voice causing something deep inside Kagome to shiver. ( an: How many thought it was Inuyasha.....yes....yes I know HE'S NOT HUMAN!! but this is my fic so sorry -_-) "I think I would prefer to stand" He then placed his long pointed foot into the room and started to move toward us, while overstepping various broken beakers and books. " I have a proposition for you" he said while taking of his over coat and showing of his vintage suit and tie. "This section of the department has come under much speculation by the board on just why this section is needed." Well sir.." Inuyasha started but Mr. Onigumos hand shot up to stop him. " Since I the benefactor had to meet with the board they have asked me to come up with a solution to this current debate"

" We all know that this section of the "Demon" department was first sanctioned for the research of weaknesses and faults coveted by the demons during the Fuedal War between us and the Demons. But since the signing of the Shikon No Tama treaty over fifty years ago this area has become obsolete" he pulled out his Virginia Slims (AN: Ha so girly is he ^_^) Kagome was about to point to the NO SMOKING SIGN but Inuyasha while pulling out a match quickly turned around and gave her a scathing look to be quiet. Mr. Onigumo not even acknowledging this continued on as he blew a puff of smoke. " But I have been able to convince them that this area can have a purpose" before continuing on he took another sip of the cigarette and then stated " which is the research of the Demon itself" We all stood in awe of what he just said " And it has come to my attention that we have the perfect candidate right here in front of us to head this mission" Inuyasha was about to step forward for his acceptance of the job but quickly faltered after hearing the next word "Her....name is Kagome"
