Last Time
"Chewy the driver closed the door and started up the engine. Inuyasha rolled down the window and called Kazuya over to him. He handed him a piece of paper and rolled up the window and Chewy pulled off into traffic.
"What did the paper say" Lei asked.
"Don't you want to know" Kazuya read it and laughed. He rolled it up and put it in his pocket and continued down the street and shaking his head.
'I gotta call Jun and tell her that Kazuya is back in town' Lei thought while he watched Kazuya walk away from him.
Chapter 2
"Ms. Kazama," an unrecognizable voice said in the dark room.
"Go back to sleep Jin," Jun mumbled in her sleep.
"Ms. Kazama, please wake up so we can ask you some questions," an unfamiliar female voice asked.
"10 more minutes," Jun said while turning away from the voice.
"Ma'am this is the police. We need to speak to you,"the female voice said with a bit of an irritated attitude.
"Waa,"Jun shot up with red bleary eyes that she shield from the brightness of the sunlight.
She had ended up in the bed with the kids on the side with her son Jin. The children was still asleep and she looked over and Kagome was still hooked up to the breathing machine.
"Ms. Kazama, are you awake?" the female voice said.
"Yes, uhm...who are you?" Jun said while stretching and scratching her head. She checked her wristwatch it was 10:12 in the morning.
"I am Sergent Pauline Grudge and this is my partner Detective Miroku Munch. Can you make a statement for us?" Sergeant Grudge asked a bit rude.
"May I see your IDs please" Jun said while finger combing her hair and getting out of the bed.
She was careful to not disturb the children.
"Hahaha, just like a trap hoe, never trusting the police," Sgt Grudge said folding her arms across her chest with her notebook in her right hand.
"I was never a trap hoe, bitch. I was running the goddamn thing. I was the wife of the and probably still deadliest man you would ever know. Plus I'm not stupid. Probably on his payroll. So again I ask show me your IDs or get the fuck out of my sister's room," Jun said crossing her arms and looking directly into the female's eye unwavering.
'I'm surprised they didn't have the female try to be my friend. I guess the guy is a sweet talker. Hehe guess they never dealt with a bitch like me,' Jun thought still waiting on the IDs to be produced.
Jun looked closer at the man that was looking around the room suspiciously.
'He looks familiar, I think I saw him at Kagome and Inuyasha's wedding. I want to say that he was the best man or a part of the wedding party, something. Think Jun think,' Jun looked at the badges and photos committing the numbers to memory.
She walked to her purse and wrote down their numbers and names. She was going to check with her friend Lei about those two. She wasn't sure but her gut was telling her to keep on her toes and keep her mouth closed.
"Are you satisfied. So how do you know the victim," Sgt Grudge asked again with force behind it.
"Why are you here?" Jun asked putting heat behind her question.
"We are the ones that is asking the questions not the other way around ok. So again how do you know the victim,"Sargent Pauline Grudge demanded to know.
"I want my lawyer present. So at this time I will not answer any of your questions on the grounds that I might self incriminate myself. My lawyer will contact you at a later time. Thank you now please leave," Jun said while leading them to the door to leave.
"What are you hiding?" the female Sgt asked again.
"Have a great day," Jun said with a bright smile to cover her growing irritation.
"Are you aware that your ex-husband, the great man you was talking about is hot on your trail. He is seeking revenge and wants his son back and you too. Dead or alive," Sgt Grudge said hoping to get a rise out of the woman for her lips to start moving.
"How do you-out now get out. You probably lead him here! Get out before I call the real police!"Jun shouted and pushed the cops out of the room but they were being defiant.
"Is there a problem here?" a male voice was heard from the door where Jun was trying to get the cops out.
"No Detective Wulong. We were just leaving, Sargent let's go. We got all what we need," Detective Munch finally talking.
He grabbed his partner by the shoulders and left the room after tipping his head in Lei's direction.
"If you ever wanted to know what a dirty cop looks like you just saw two walking away from you. Jun are you ok?" Lei asked and put a white paper bag in his hand on the table that was in the room.
"I think I have seen the guy before but not the woman. I think, I think that he is on Inuyasha's payroll or a close friend. I want to say he was in the wedding party. Why would a cop be in the wedding party for a well-known gangster? Even back then Inuyasha was second or third in command before the head had a heart attack and stroke and later on died," Jun said pacing and rubbing her arms.
It all of a sudden it became cool in the room.
"There is nothing to be worried about. There is a restraining order out on Takahashi for his wife and both of his kids. So she is safe," Lei said rubbing Jun's goosebump skin.
"Hahaha, are you really serious? You are serious. Wow...well let me school you on the ins and outs of a wife's life in the mob or gang especially when the husband is the head honcho. Restraining orders are like toilet paper. Just another piece of paper that someone can shit on and throw away. Like toilet paper a little water will tear it apart. But unlike water it's blood that they want. There is always a way around a restraining order. Plus people like living and the ones in this area is afraid of Inuyasha. He may seem like a pushover but he is one mean and sick son of a bitch," Jun said with a shiver.
"How do you know" Lei asked while he walked to Jun who was next to the double pane window looking down the 13 floors.
"Just know, I know. I'm not ready to do a confessional. That's when I will draw my last breathe. Man, I have so many secrets. It would make a harden criminal cry for his dead mother. Please Lei, leave me alone on this ok. Don't make me say anything" Jun said turning towards Lei and hugging his waist.
"Promise me that you will tell me all of your dark secrets. I promise I won't react and I even bring my teddy bear. So I can cuddle with him to keep the boogie man ie Kazuya and Inuyasha, away from my dreams," Lei said laughing alone about his joke.
"Please take me serious. Kazuya and Inuyasha are both ruthless, possessive and very,very, very wealthy with connections almost everywhere. They will stop at nothing. You know how you are not suppose to kick a sleeping dog. Well that's them. Don't provoke them please ok," Jun squeezing Lei tighter into her embrace.
Lei reciprocated the embrace and lifted up Jun's chin. He smiled down at her and leaned in slowly to kiss her on the lips.
She stepped back and shook her head.
"I'm not in the right mind space right now. I'll take a rain check ok,but not right now. I can't love you how you deserve to be loved. Just be my friend and confidant a while longer, please," Jun said while putting her left hand on his chest.
He grabbed her hand off of his chest and kissed her fingers and her cheek.
"Promise me that when the time is right that you will finally become mine, Mrs. Lei Wulong, please Jun. I'm tired of standing on the sidelines and not being able to help you in a bigger capacity other than just being a friend. You know how I feel about you, please. Just let me love you how you should have been treated. I will take care of all your needs. Believe me. You can move in with me and we can live a life that you, we deserve. What do you say," Lei asked looking into Jun's brown eyes.
"What about my son? You have all these ideas about us. You never mentioned my son not once. I think it's best you leave Detective. Thank you. I will call you if I need your help," Jun snatched her hand away and walked over to her son brushing her fingers through his hair.
"Jun, I-I didn't mean it that way. Believe me...I am looking after your wellbeing and-," Lei said trying to clean up his blatant mistake.
"Please leave, I will be able to handle it from here thank you," Jun said without turning around to face the man she had some feelings of affection for.
'He just don't get it. I am a package deal. Jun and Jin not just Jun. I thought he was different,' Jun wiped a tear and got back into the bed and dragged her son towards her chest.
"I love you baby. Mommy loves you and no man is going to come between us baby," Jun whispered and falling back to sleep.
With Inuyasha
"177, 178, 179, 180...whew. Ok take these," Inuyasha puffed after giving his spotter a 650 lbs of weights from his bench pressing.
" Inuyasha, you have been slacking. You use to be able to bench 800 lbs easy and with at least 200 reps no sweat mind that's light to you. What's the issue?" his training partner asked.
"My wife got hurt and the police is blaming me. I didn't hurt her or my kids," Inuyasha said and walked towards the treadmill.
"What about your demon. What does he say," the training partner asked.
"Yea, that bastard seems to be on vacation or something. I can't...feel him like I use to. I don't know probably stress is keeping him at bay,"Inuyasha said while starting up the treadmill to do a light jog to clear his mind.
'I'm here half-breed. Can't take a vacation unless you go on one idiot. I can't separate from you even if I tried. You are stuck with me for the rest of your long miserable life.'
'Oh, now you want to show up. Where have you been? Did you cause this mess with my Kagome?'
'No ass. I have a bad feeling about your training partner. What's his name?'
'Ryura? I trust him to an extent since he knows nothing about my lifestyle. He is a loyal person.'
'Still don't trust him...he seems...off.'
'Same can be said about you.'
'Fuck you. I need to re-mark our mate. We need to see her soon. Her connection to us is getting weak. I don't know why but she seems to be slipping away from us. Not dying but like some magic is trying to erase her mating mark that binds us together.'
'What! Shit I'm not allowed to be near her. If I'm caught then they will haul our ass to jail and they will lose my paperwork in the system. Racist bastards!'
'That's the keyword...IF...get that human Miroku and Kaede to make you a shape shifter charm and visit the hospital."
'I don't know which floor she is on. I went to the Shikon and I think there is some masking sprays sprayed all over that building," Inuyasha said while upping the ante on his machine.
'Call the human and get the shape shifter charm!'
'What ever demon.'
RING RING
Inuyasha pushed the bluetooth button on his treadmill to answer the call.
"Yeah," Inuyasha used as a greeting as he placed a earphone in his ear.
There was too many people especially demons around to listen on his conversation with their super hearing in play.
"It's me. Can you talk?"Miroku asked in a whisper.
"I have a meeting in another two hours Dad," Inuyasha giving the code word to the caller that he was not alone.
"Damn, ok I will make this quick. Found some sugar cookies and the chocolate chips as well. They are at your favorite place. Get this only thirteen dollars. But it's going to be hard to get them. Its like you have to go undercover to get close to them. Only a select few can get these cookies," Miroku said.
"Have you called the old hag?" Inuyasha asked.
"No just called you,"Miroku said.
"Ok, call the old hag and see if she can help. I will go with you to retrieve the cookies. Probably tomorrow. I am going to be busy with a game that I can't lose at yet," Inuyasha said.
Another code word that he had promised a sideline chick some mind blowing sex.
"I think that you should cancel that because this is a one time deal. There is another interested party involved," Miroku said delivering the rest of the news.
"Who,"Inuyasha slowing down his treadmill to cool off.
"Mint chocolate," Miroku said in code.
'That bitch, Jun, is back,' Inuyasha thought to himself and grinned.
He knew how to handle that particular road bump.
"I am confident that we don't need to worry about that," Inuyasha said and smirked on the phone.
"Ok, son if you say so," Miroku said and chuckled at his response.
"Come get me in the morning, the mint chocolate would have to be sold by then to another buyer," Inuyasha said thinking of Jun having to go home and freshen up while Kagome was still resting.
"Whatever you say, you are the boss. I'll call you later about Kaede, bye," Miroku said and got off the phone.
Inuyasha pressed the button on his bluetooth and walked to the showers with his water bottle and white towel around his neck.
With Jun and Kagome
7 Hours Later
Jun looked at her wrist watch again and it was 5:12pm. She had went home to gather some clothes for her and Kagome. She came back with the children two hours ago and the nurse finally gave Kagome some medicine to wake her up. Jun noticed that Kagome was moving more than she was last night and this morning.
'Come on Kagome, just open your eyes so I can talk to you,' Jun pleaded inwardly while she made some sandwiches for the hungry children.
"You guys surely love to eat," Jun said playfully making Ichirou and Emiko their fourth sandwich.
"Thank you Auntie, we haven't eaten since lunch yesterday. I am starving to death," Ichirou said dramatically.
"Thank you Mommy. When are we going to go to the park and play?" Jin asked taking his second sandwich of honey roasted turkey, ham and cheese.
"When your aunt is awake," Jun told her son.
"But I already am," a small husky voice said in the bed in the corner.
Every ear and head turned toward the voice and ran to her bedside.
Kagome pressed the button on the bed to make the bed incline so she could see everybody.
She looked around and saw her children's smiling face, her sister's relieved face she hasn't seen in 7 years ,and her nephew she only saw baby pictures of.
She looked around her environment and noticed she was in a really pricy hospital room and confusion on how she got here was all over her face.
"Jun-bug! Where am I and how did I get here?" Kagome asked trying her voice again.
"Well the doctor said that there was some domestic dispute and that your husband was sent to jail because you ended up in the hospital. I know your wrist was broken in two and you have a bruise on the side of your body. But other than that you are fine. So was it-um kids go to the other room and look at T.V,ok," Jun said realizing that the children heard the majority of the conversation anyway but didn't need to hear the rest.
"Come on guys let's go and look at Ninja Showdown, I heard that last week episode was awesome,"Jin said grabbing his cousins' hands.
"Jin, what's Inja Down? Is it scary?" Emiko asked hiding her face in her white stuff dog's fur.
"Ninja Showdown, the best anime show of all time. It's not too scary. Come on I'll show you," Jin moved to the door and closed it to give the moms some privacy.
"So was it him?"Jun asked as soon as she was sure that the children were occupied.
"Yes," Kagome said sadly.
"Kagome! Why are you still with him if he is putting his hands on you," Jun shouted in anger and disgust.
"I-I don't know. It's like it's not him. It's-it's like he is a complete and totally different person on some days. On those days he is caring and sweet, gentle to me and the kids. Then other days when he leaves and says he is going on business he comes back like four hours later pissed as a Komodo Dragon demon. That's the one I am afraid of. That one is not my husband. I know I sound crazy but I think he is possessed or something is going on with him. Because when I cry out for his demon he never comes no matter how much I submit and call for him in dog demon ...he...never never shows up. His eyes never turn red. I-I think someone is hurting my mate. Hurting me is how he is going to get to my Inuyasha. He promised me that he will never hurt me and will always protect me. He has never broken a promise to me so why now?" Kagome asked after wiping tears from her face.
"How long has this been going on?" Jun asked shaking her head and pinching the bridge of her nose.
"About two years. It's just gotten worse. I have only been to the hospital a...hand...full of times. I know it's not Inuyasha! I just know it!," Kagome pleaded trying to convince Jun or was it herself.
"That's all fine and dandy but you are not safe. Not here at least," Jun said taking a deep breathe.
"Why you say that?" Kagome asked not really understanding and drinking some water.
"Well, because a crooked cop and his partner came here sniffing around. They know where you are and if your husband is smart like you say. They are going to come visit again and finish what he started," Jun said and grabbed Kagome's arms.
"I-I," Kagome stuttered trying to piece the new information, the rumors, and even the experiences together.
"I wasn't going to say anything but you deserve to know," Jun said slowly.
"What are you talking about? What is it?" Kagome said after taking a big gulp of air for more bad news.
"While you was sleeping the kids and I stepped out to go and get some ingredients to make some sandwiches and fresh clothes. We stopped at a cafe and I bought some muffins and I saw him, Inuyasha. I saw him with another woman and they were playing footsie and she was rubbing a very pregnant belly. A little girl with black and silver hair sat across from him and was asking when was he going to move in with them. I was going to keep it to myself and not mention anything. Thankfully I left the kids in the car with the car running or they would have found out about his-," Jun stopped when Kagome confessed.
"I already know," Kagome whispered and avoided Jun's eyes.
"Yo-you already know and you are staying with him? Are you that desperate for a man? Kagome! You are smarter than this. What the fuck is wrong with you?" Jun said her anger igniting again.
"Isn't it like us dear sister or did you forget that we don't have the same parents either? My mother was the mistress and that father ended up being with us. I guess it's my punishment for being too nice or it's proof that that Inuyasha you saw is a phony. Be-because my baby wouldn't do that to me. That bitch has came around before asking for him. Wanting him to spend time with her and her daughter. She, she wants our daughters to be like sisters. She wants them to have the same benefits of being an offspring of a Takahashi. But I don't have any connection to that kid of hers. I know it's not his. First off her eyes are green and her hair is wild and red. She doesn't have his ears or any traces of being a descendant of a dog demon. The bitch is lying. But thank you for telling me but I already know but he doesn't know that I know," Kagome said wiping tears from her eyes.
"But, Kagome, that's not the description I told you. I said that the little girl had black and silver hair. Not Red hair and green eyes. Either he has two sets of baby mommas or there is something fishy going on. Shapeshifters or something?" Jun paced in front of the bed and was trying to piece together the clues that they both have.
She got angry all over again. She went back to Kagome and grabbed her shoulders.
"What are you going to do. I-I can't just sit by and see you hurt,"Jun said to Kagome with anger in her eyes.
"No he didn't! You did!" Kagome shouted at her sister.
"Me? What the fuck are you talking about? I have only been faithful to you," Jun said flabbergasted.
"Really...so explain to me when I saw you and Inuyasha behind the fountain at his house and you was kissing him? Don't try to say that it was a mistake because I saw you two. So before you start pointing fingers at him please exp-," Kagome said but Jun interrupted her.
"We did kiss. He thought I was you. You know how Inuyasha gets when he is drunk. I was talking to Kazuya and his jealous ass and I started to cry. I guess Inuyasha heard me crying and-".
Flashback
"Why is my Lilaia* crying next to the fountain. Come here my little water nymph and let daddy make it better," Inuyasha staggeredly walked over and turned the woman around and kissed her without looking at the woman fully.
The woman was shocked and didn't give in. She was touched that he cared but upset that he kissed her.
Pulling back, Inuyasha smiled and then focused on the woman that was in his arms and step back quickly.
"Shit, you are not Kagome," Inuyasha said drunkenly.
"Wow Watson, you are a smart cookie. I just hope that she never saw it. We speak of this to, you know what, you probably will not even remember this night Yash,"Jun said shaking her head and wiping her eyes.
"Jun,I am sorry. But why were you crying. I think you sobered me up," Inuyasha said shaking his head to will the alcohol away.
"Ass, I-it was Kazuya. His over possessive ass thinks that since I am not with him 24/7 then I am cheating on him," Jun said defeated and tired.
"Have you told him about the pup you are caring," Inuyasha asked without looking at Jun.
Jun turned and looked at him with wide eyes,"how did you know?"
Inuyasha pointed at his nose and put his arm around Jun's shoulders. She leaned in and he kissed her on the forehead.
"Whenever you are ready to leave just let me know and you will disappear from society without a trace. That also means you won't be able to contact Kagome again until you feel like Kazuya has lost interest in you. I won't be able to contact you much but I will have someone that will be like a handler for you. It will take commitment to run and stay hidden. Are you ready for that type of life?" Inuyasha asked with all seriousness.
"I have to be, I didn't even ask for your-" Jun said and Inuyasha put his hand up to stop her from gushing.
"Don't mention it. When you are ready tell me ok," Inuyasha said and walked off to get another beer.
Jun shook her head in understanding and headed upstairs to see where Kagome had disappeared.
End of Flashback
"I called him when I was 7 months pregnant. I was the reason he went on a two month business trip. He was there with me making sure that I was safe and that Kazuya couldn't find me. That bastard was going crazy. He was killing everyone because his father Heihachi was trying to give the power of the Mishima clan over to his son he had out of wedlock Lee. That didn't go over well with Kazuya. He saw Lee and I once at a lunch engagement. He wanted to see his unborn nephew and to ensure that I wouldn't have to worry about my lifestyle or Kazuya if he agreed to be second in command or even that they could run it together like it should be as brothers. Kazuya was madder than a firecracker. Two weeks later two fingers was delivered to me. I saw Lee's ring finger with the family crest and his middle finger. That night I called Inuyasha and he had me out that house in two hours. I wanted to tell you so bad but I didn't want to scare you or put Inuyasha in a more dangerous situation. Inuyasha had asked me if I knew any cops and I told him about Lei Wulong he was just making detective then and was luckily put on my case to find me. Inuyasha kept me and Jin safe" Jun wiped the tears that was falling.
"I didn't know that, I am sorry. I wish I knew Jun! I was 20 and heart broken. I thought you was trying to avoid me or something. I felt alone,"Kagome whispered.
"I am sorry too sis. Please forgive me" Jun said hugging Kagome.
"Already forgotten" Kagome hugging her with her good arm.
"So I have to agree with you that Inuyasha isn't that bad of a guy but why would anyone do this to you? How will we know which Inuyasha is the right one?" Jun asked.
"I'm not sure but I need to go pee and get out of this bed"Kagome said and swung her feet to the side of the bed. She waited until the room stopped spinning and gingerly got up from her bed.
"Ok, Speed Racer lets get you a shower and see if we can get you out of here tonight. We can't wait until morning," Jun said hoisting up Kagome while she gathered her weight underneath her body.
"Yes, okay when I get in the shower call the doctor up here and we can go to a hotel room for a couple of hours and go to Warrington. It's about three hours away from here. Close enough to keep tabs on what's going on in the city and far enough for them not to think about Warrington,"Kagome hissed as she tried to put more weight on her aching body.
Jun shook her head and helped Kagome to the bathroom.
With the Kids in the separating room
"See Ichi, I was right. Sometimes Dad doesn't smell right. He could be a fake," Emiko said with her dog ear close to the door.
"I don't know what you mean Emi. Dad smells fine to me" Ichirou said eyes not moving away from the t.v.
"You never pay attention to anything. Not even if it's right under your nose," Emiko said.
She was clearly upset that her brother wasn't more observant like she was.
She remembered that day when a little girl a little older than her came by the house when she was playing outside with her brother. Emiko went inside to get some water and saw the woman holding hands with the girl. What she remembered the most was her eyes. They were the greenest she has ever seen eyes before. They didn't seem real. She just shrugged her shoulders and walked to the kitchen. She didn't hear the previous exchange between the mothers.
'We could have another sister. Maybe three more siblings and Ichirou is not upset about it.' Emiko thought.
She was looking at her brother in disbelief. She looked at her cousin Jin who basically found out that his dad tried to kill his mom. Even before he was born his dad didn't want him. Emiko touched Jin's shoulders and he shrugged her off and sat next to Ichirou who was still watching Ninja Showdown episodes.
She was sad because she knew Jin was hurting but didn't want him to completely shut her out. She turned back to the door and heard that all of them are going to be leaving soon to go to a hotel and then to Warrington for a few days.
'I wonder why we are going there,'Emiko asked herself while she got up from her eavesdropping spot.
She sat next to her brother and continued to color in a coloring book her nice dad gave to her.
With the fake Inuyasha
"Damn he suppose to still be in jail. I know he is going to go to one of his sideline hoes and fuck them. I should go and visit the wife to make sure she doesn't want to see me or her husband again" the man placed a chain over his head and looked back in the mirror.
Before his eyes his eyes turned to amber and his hair turned to silver and popped up two dog ears and fangs came out of his mouth.
"Inuyasha Takahashi, I can't wait until you lose everything and your wife and pups can't stand the sight of you. I will make sure of it," the fake Inuyasha laughed and tucked the chain into his shirt.
He got out of his car similar to that of Inuyasha's. He walked into a diner where he was meeting an important ally, Kazuya Mishima.
