Heh. Guess you haven't seen me for a while and I have a perfectly good explination for that: Role Playing. e.e I was so caught up in that that I got distracted from my writing and stopped continuing my stories. And then later I realized that I didn't even agree with some of my shippingisms anymore so I deleted them But now I'm back! But ahem This fic...as pathetic as this sounds...is an AU fic sorta born from our RP XD and I wanted so bad to have a story completly centered around my OC and Sesshomaru, even though they're one of the main ships in the RP so Um cough Yeah this was born...
Main Ships in this story: OC/Sesshomaru OC/Sango/Miroku Inuyasha/Kagome All I ask is that you give this story a chance before you base it off of what shippingisims are in it and decide not to read

"You jerk you cheated! I saw that and so did everyone else, you cheated!"
"No I didn't! You're just being a whiny little girl because you lost!"
"Why you…"
"Kohana, please just forget about it, it's not worth all of this trouble."
"But he cheated! He tripped me on purpose!"
" I didn't cheat! You're just a stupid little girl! You should've known from the start that you could never have beaten me! Why don't you just go play with your little dolls and stay away from here!"
That was the moment it happened. Kohana Nomiya had always been a very kind girl up until that point, despite her temper. She had known how to hold herself back until that day. At that instant right after the boy spoke some sort of unknown power seemed to take a hold of her body. Her fist had clenched and shot forward straight into the boy's face, as her friend Kagome Higurashi watched horrified.
That was the first moment Kohana had ever hit anyone in her entire life, the first time she ever caused physical harm. Had she been in her right senses that day she might have reacted shocked or even remorseful, but not then. Her temper was still flaring angrily at the boy's words. She glanced at her hand and over to the boy's pain filled face as he grasped it. Her eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Don't you dare think that I can not be compared to you because I am a girl," she said, "You think you're so great just because you're a boy, but you don't even begin to realize my potential!! Well I'll tell you this, one day you'll see me a girl doing great things that men can do, and I'll even do it better!! Now get out of here and don't ever let me see you again!!"
The boy looked at this enraged girl and his knees began to shake slightly, before he turned and fled back towards the school building.
Kohana had watched him flee, her hands still clenched furiously and her breaths coming out in angry puffs.
"Kohana, are you ok?" Kagome asked a little worriedly.
The girl had stood there for another moment before she realized what she had done. She had actually, for the first time socked someone in the face. It was then that her scowl faded into an expressionless mask for a mere moment. She solemnly nodded to Kagome.
"…He shouldn't have said those things," the 10 year old uttered quietly to her friend.
"Yeah but you shouldn't have hit him. When a teacher finds out what you did you're going to be in a lot of trouble."
Kohana then shook slightly. She had not thought about the consequences of her actions when hitting the boy. In fact she had not thought about it all. She had felt a small bit of fear, before it melted into a quiet resolve. She then nodded again, accepting her fate.
"I know, and I can't do anything about that now……You should get away from me so you don't get in trouble as well."
"Are you sure?" Kagome asked, her eyes widening. It had been apparent that the kinder girl was not keen on the idea of abandoning one of her friends in a troubled time.
Kohana nodded, "Yeah it'll be best. Besides, I'm sure your other friend are wondering where you are……Didn't you tell Yuka and Eri that you'd be with them today?"
"Oh! That's right," Kagome said nodding, "They'll understand that I was late though once I tell them what happened here, with the race and all."
"…I wouldn't tell them that," Kohana said averting her eyes, "I don't think they like me that much."
Kagome had opened her mouth to protest when the boy had suddenly appeared again, this time with a very irate looking teacher by his side and they were approaching. Kohana then made Kagome get away before she was caught, and the other girl had reluctantly left, looking back towards Kohana every now and then.
The girl then turned to face the doom that awaited her as the teacher and the boy approached. The boy had an excessive amount of tears running down his face, far more than he needed, and yet there was a very smug look about him. It made her sick.
Kohana managed to spare one more glare towards that boy. "I swear," she thought, "I will become a strong woman so people like you can never insult me for who I am ever again………"
There was a crash and broken shards of glass scattered all over the place. Several high pitched screams were heard as the people inside turned to look towards the commotion; however the loud sound of a gun firing towards the ceiling silenced most of them.
The three intruders grinned seeing all the fearful faces of everyone nearby. They hadn't exactly planned this bank robbery. Hell, they hadn't exactly even thought about stealing any cash until they passed the place. They had merely glanced over at it, and seen few people in there, and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go in and steal some cash before making a quick get away.
The seemingly leader of this little group, a rather tall man wearing a long bandana and had some purple tattoos on his face, approached one of the tellers and held up a gun in her direction. The young woman shook and stared at him with bright fearful eyes. The man smirked, and tossed her a bag.
"Fill it with money," He ordered and watched as the young girl had no choice but to shakily comply.
One of his companions, a rather short, fat man who hid his face behind some sort of cloth was glancing around towards all the expensive looking decorations around the lobby. Craftily he snuck around and planted some sort of bomb looking things behind some plants and chuckled to himself.
The third was the oddest of the three. He was another tall man, yet most of his facial features seemed very womanly, with two blue tattoo stripes that ran down below his eyes. He was staring at one of the male stander bys, with a mild dissatisfied frown.
"Humph, your face is cute I'll give you that, but those clothes and your hair just aren't doing it for me."
"Wh-what?!" The man stared up in shock.
The womanly man shook his head and sighed, "I guess there just aren't any really good looking men around here….oh well."
"Jakotsu, we don't have time for that," The man with the bandana said, now taking a sack filled with money from the frightened girl, "Let's get away before the cops arrive."
Jakotsu nodded and looked over to the short little man, "Mukotsu are you ready?"
The short man seemed to chuckle darkly from behind his cloth mask and nodded, before turning to follow Jakotsu out the door as well as the other man.
A few of the people looked up fearfully and glanced around. None of them had been harmed at all, the men had just taken the money and left.
"Quick!! Call the cops!" One of them suddenly yelled while another swiftly whipped out a cell phone and started dialing a number.
The three made their way to the other side of the street and paused, looking back at the bank. Mukotsu quietly whipped out a remote like thing with a button on top; slowly he rested his thumb atop it before pressing the button.
Suddenly all the little bombs he had planted throughout the bank exploded with a thunderous boom, and a thick black smog filled the building. The sounds of shrieking and wailing people were heard, shortly followed by choking sounds and a couple of thuds of bodies falling. Mukotsu chuckled again.
The three then casually turned, but swiftly made their way away from the crime scene and towards a suspicious looking parked car not far away.
"So, Renkotsu," Jakotsu asked the tallest man, "When do you think big brother will be back with Suikotsu and the others?"
"He said it would be a few days," Renkotsu replied with only a tinge of annoyance to his voice, as if he had answered the same question more than once before.
Jakotsu sighed, "He's taking forever I hope they'll…..Hey, what's that?" He suddenly stopped and raised a hand over his eyes to see further ahead.
"What's what?" Renkotsu asked, looking over at the same time Mukotsu did. A frown suddenly came upon his face as he spotted a figure running towards them in police uniform.
"Looks like we've got trouble," He mused out loud sounding even more annoyed.
"Hold it right there!" Came the angry voice of this newcomer holding up a pistol towards the three men. Upon seeing this person close up however, Renkotsu and Mukotsu's facial features relaxed as they sensed no threat, while Jakotsu took his turn to look severely annoyed.
"Drop the money and your weapons immediately!" This person yelled again still holding their weapon tight, though it was not a male cop as one would expect. This was a young woman with long brown hair tied back away from her face. Her dark eyes were narrowed angrily, but her delicate looking arms and legs gave her the appearance of one who would not fare well in a tough fight.
"They sent a woman after us?" Jakotsu sneered, "Honestly I expected more from the police." At hearing this comment the woman seemed to look even angrier and her finger slid down towards the trigger.
"I said drop them!" She yelled once more. Jakotsu opened his mouth again seeming ready to make a retort, when Renkotsu interrupted him.
"Now now Jakotsu, this lady wants us to drop our weapons and surrender quietly. I think that maybe we should comply."
"But Renkotsu!" Jakotsu exclaimed looking shocked, before he received a look from the taller man that told him to go along with it. Jakotsu paused for a moment, before dropping the several knives and gun he held in his sleeve. Renkotsu dropped his gun and the sack of money, and both raised their hands.
The woman still looked angry, yet slightly satisfied at their response. She then turned her gun towards Mukotsu, "You too! Drop your weapons!"
Mukotsu grinned. "As you wish," he said before pulling something out of his sleeve. The girl stared quizzically at his hand for a moment, which held this unknown object.
"What do you have?..." She asked tentatively, and suddenly regretted asking as soon as she heard this man's creepy laugh.
Suddenly Mukotsu chucked the object towards the ground and it exploded releasing pale green smog. The woman instantly winced and began coughing, trying not to breathe the fumes in. While she did, the three picked up the money and weapons and hurried to run off.
The woman backed away enough to get out of the smoke still coughing. She turned around just in time to see the three disappear around a corner. Her eyes narrowed once more and an angry growl rose in her throat as she suddenly began to give chase.
She rounded the corner easily, and once the three were in view again she raised her gun and fired at them. Most of her shots missed, although one managed to nearly nick Jakotsu, and a look of sheer anger clouded his face.
Renkotsu turned, and fired his gun at the female cop. Unlike her pistol this was a much larger weapon and had a deadly explosiveness to it. The woman had to dash quickly behind a building as his shot blasted a nearby car and flipped it.
A bead of sweat trickled down the girl's face. These aren't ordinary guys, she thought worriedly, There's no way I can take them down easily when they have firepower like that. Still I can't let them get away…
She poked her head out from behind her hiding place and took a moment to aim her gun before firing. The bullet struck the arm of the stout Mukotsu and he let out a yelp of pain before grasping his bleeding arm.
The woman smirked from her hiding place, before her eyebrows suddenly knitted in confusion. She could only see two of them out there, the short fat man, and the tall one with a bandana. Where was the feminine looking one? Suddenly she felt a prickle of terror shoot up her spine as if there were a presence behind her. She quickly turned and stood seeing Jakotsu standing right behind her with a frightening look on his face.
"Stupid woman," He hissed, "I hate it when you females think you can get involved with matters like this! You don't even make good opponents!" He then took out a frightening looking blade that seemed to be folded with many different layers. The woman could've sworn it was some sort of freakish looking sword, yet the man's words stung her and she glared again.
She stood and tried to appear as menacing as possible while raising her gun, but in the blink of an eye Jakotsu had already swung his weapon, and the blade extended in a snake like pattern and it took all the girl had just to try and jump back in time. The weapon nicked her shoulder and it began bleeding. She took a step back to try and aim her gun once more, but she tripped on the curb of the sidewalk and fell over on the street.
She glanced up and stared as Jakotsu began approaching her with his strange weapon raised. Footfalls nearby also told her that the other two were approaching her as well, but despite the fear she felt at that moment she still managed to wear an angry scowl upon her face.
Just then a sirens wailed as several cop cars pulled into view from multiple directions. The three men looked around worriedly as bunches of officers that worked quickly to surround the three.
The leader of the police was a wolfish looking man with long dark hair up in a ponytail. He glowered at all three of the attackers, and cracked his knuckles.
"Well well," he spoke in a rough yet cocky voice, "If it ain't Renkotsu and two others of the Band of Seven." He raised his fist, "I don't suppose you'd mind telling us where the rest of you are."
Renkotsu shot a worried look at Jakotsu and the two nodded before taking off in separate directions, with stubby little Mukotsu left to follow after Renkotsu. Almost immediately the cops separated and began to hunt the three down. It didn't take long to catch Mukotsu, seeing as his short legs couldn't carry him far.
Renkotsu had glanced back at him momentarily but didn't slacken his pace in his escape. The leader of the police and several others had continued to chase him. Renkotsu stopped at one point to turn and fire upon the group after him. They all managed to escape out of the way before being hit, and while Renkotsu had been turned the other way, the leader had swiftly gotten close to him and swung a powerful fist towards his face. Renkotsu struck the ground before he even knew what hit him.
"Nice work Koga!" One of those who had followed him, Hakkaku, praised. Koga smirked slightly at the compliment, and glanced in the opposite direction where the others had chased Jakotsu. Within moments they had him down, although several of them appeared to have several cuts about them. Eventually all three men were handcuffed and escorted to the back seat of one of the cars, their weapons and the sack of money confiscated.
The woman had stood up, clutching her wounded shoulder, and looked rather sulkily. She glanced at the three wrongdoers in the back of the cop car and a deep frown etched itself on her face.
"Are you alright?" One of her fellow officers, Ginta, asked approaching. The woman glanced over to him and nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine, this is nothing serious, it'll heal soon," She said nodding to her shoulder. Ginta frowned but nodded. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted when Koga approached.
"Is everyone alright?" He asked Ginta, who proceeded to nod and exclaim that no one was severely injured. "Good," Koga said before turning his attention to the woman, "You. I need to talk to you when we get back to the station." He said, a slightly angry tone entering his voice.
The woman winced inwardly and nodded. She could tell at that moment that she was in for it, and her boss was not happy.
Kohana couldn't remember at what age she had decided to become a police officer, but she had known for the longest time, this was the profession she had wanted to enter. She figured it was probably brought on by that day at the playground all those years ago where a boy had cheated in a race against her, and then insulted her for being a girl. She remembered the trouble she had been in with the teacher that day for slugging the boy in the face, and it almost felt as if she were back at that teachers desk once more receiving that lecture.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" Koga barked at her, "You couldn't just wait for the rest of us to get there, you had to go charging in alone and they almost escaped!!"
"They would've escaped had I done nothing," She mumbled to herself.
"What was that?!"
"Nothing sir! I was just agreeing with you about my stupidity!" She stood up straight as she said this. Inwardly she wanted to throw back as many insults she could muster towards Koga, she was seething about his anger towards her although she knew she couldn't show this. Deep down inside though, she knew he was right.
Ever since she had joined the police force, she had been ostracized from her workmates and looked down upon, being the only female member of the force. Ginta and Hakkaku, and perhaps Royakan were the only three who even bothered with acting kind towards her. She didn't miss the stares of resentment she got from every other officer. To them she was nothing more than an unnecessary hindrance, a burden. Sometimes they all wondered if the only reason Koga hadn't gotten rid of her yet was because she was close friends with Kagome. It was no secret that the chief fancied that woman, and it was also no secret that she didn't return the feelings, though Koga also seemed highly oblivious of that fact.
Kohana had longed for the day when she would finally prove herself as capable as every other officer here. Perhaps she had been too hasty when she had spotted those three men leaving the bank they had just robbed. She had received orders over radio to avoid them at all costs without any assistance, they were highly dangerous. Still, she remembered the thoughts that had rushed through her head at that moment, thoughts of her bringing down all three on her own, and when the rest arrived they would be cheering for her and finally valuing her strength and accepting her as a member of the team and not just a burden. Too bad she had not known they were part of the Band of Seven, a notorious group of violent men that up until now had been able to escape the police every time they had shown up. Nothing had gone according to plan.
Koga sniffed, glaring at her and not quite sure that she honestly did agree about her stupidity. "Just don't try anything stupid ever again. Next time we might not be able to help you fix your mistakes."
Kohana nodded glumly. At least no one in the bank was mortally wounded, she thought, attempting to cheer her self up. Several people had been injured, and the smoke from those bombs had damaged some lungs, but several ambulances had arrived in time, and they were assured that everyone would be able to survive. These thoughts only slightly boosted Kohana's morale; she still felt that sense of stinging despair and longing.
Suddenly another officer burst into the room, "There's a bit of trouble again, apparently a fight between students broke out at the high school on the north side of town, and it's starting to get a little out of hand. Some of the faculty is actually getting involved in the fight instead of attempting to break it up."
A wave of recognition flew over Kohana's face. The High School north side of town, and faculty involved. Ronuku, that idiot! She thought as an image of a grouchy Janitor popped into her mind. She and Kagome had gone to High School with Ronuku Rekkusan, but he had always been a slacker and got into a lot of fights, and now worked as a Janitor in the same school they had attended. Getting involved in a fist fight amongst kids sounded just like something he would do.
"Damn," Koga mumbled, "Just what we need a bunch of brats getting out of hand and making us waste our time to go out there."
"I can go," Kohana volunteered. Primarily she wanted to get over there as soon as possible and give her old friend (If he could be called that) a whack to the head before he got himself into too much trouble, but also she wanted to get away from the station for now, and perhaps volunteering to do grungy work might put her in to Koga's good graces a bit.
The chief looked down at her and scowled slightly, "Are you sure you can handle something like this, or will you just let problems escalate?"
Kohana could've said a number of choice words at that moment, but instead reigned in her temper and replied, "It's just a bunch of kids in a fight, I think I can manage it."
Koga snorted and turned away, "Fine, just make sure Ginta or Hakkaku comes with you in case you screw things up. Report back here when you're finished." He then walked off in a different direction to take care of some other unknown business.
As soon as he was out of earshot Kohana began grumbling and cursing to herself and clenching her fists. Damn that Koga! Damn this police force, Damn this place! Would no one in the world think that she was capable of anything at all? She turned around to stalk out the front door towards a car when she spotted Ginta.
"Hey!" She yelled to him, "Koga says you have to come with me!" She had almost considered leaving him behind and not asking for his help, but decided that she'd already gotten in enough trouble today and didn't want to piss Koga off any more.
"Me?" Ginta blinked.
"Yeah, we've got to go break up some fight at a High School, apparently it's getting a bit too out of hand."
"Oh…well wouldn't you be able to handle that on your own?" Ginta asked innocently. Kohana's fists clenched even tighter and her nails dug into her skin.
"No," she replied frostily, "Apparently I'm going to screw this up so Koga wants you to clean up after my mess!" She then turned and stormed out towards a car. Ginta was a bit surprised at first over the girl's response, but he sheepishly turned and followed her. He gave a little sigh, hoping that this little trip wouldn't be as unpleasant as he thought it was going to be.
A tall figure stood on a roof of a building, his long silver hair being lifted gently in the breeze. His golden eyes gazed out over the city, though he stared at nothing in particular. He had been lost deep in though for quite some time now, brooding and lamenting over the note that had arrived earlier this morning. He had been challenged; his enemy had challenged him to a duel.
He was not quite sure what to think of this at first. From his past experience with his enemy, he had known him to be secretive and manipulating. For him to take a step out into the open a boldly ask for a fight was not like him at all, and the figure sensed that this may be a trap.
But some part of him wanted show up, be it a trap or not. His enemy had attempted manipulating him before, and for that he would pay dearly. But his enemy did not show himself often, perhaps this would be one of the few opportunities he would have to make this man regret thinking that he could ever control himself.
Then, the events of the past few years came flooding back into his mind once more. His golden eyes then narrowed into slits, as he remembered everything that had happened. Although his enemy had not been the cause of everything that had turned his life into his own personal hell, it would still be nice to finally have something to take his anger out on.
"Very well," he spoke, though no one was there to listen, "I shall accept his challenge."
So um yeah What do you think? My RP Buddy, who is the creator of Ronuku (Check him out on his deviantart it's Dflamemangaka) Is going to be helping me out with this fic greatly, so yeah he gets a bit of the credit for this XD Please Review, if you so see it fit.
