Chapter Three
So here I am, in my so-called bedroom. My so-called sanctuary. Just exclude the fact that the walls are paper thin and holey, the ceiling leaks and the only way my door stays closed is by shoving a chair under the knob, it's isolated.
"Better than nothing" was how I think Inuyasha put it.
And for some strange reason, I have the feeling I'm going to regret accepting this mission.
I closed my eyes as I flopped down on my single bed. The mattress was about three-inches thick. A real Holiday Inn.
And the best part of this entire thing: my room is beside evil bastard's lackey's room.
YAY!
Already I was informed that I was to attend a meeting that included all of the members of Hell's Mark tonight and training sessions started tomorrow, early in the morning.
So, my work started tonight. Can't a girl ever get a break?
I rolled onto my stomach and checked the time, sighing when I realized I still had about half an hour before the meeting and with no one to talk to, I was more or less screwed. I wasn't given time to sleep since it was midnight when I met up with Naraku and by the time I had to be 'tested,' first light had started to show. After the creepy instructions and talks it soon became afternoon.
And I am still sleepless.
But because of that stupid meeting in half an hour, I have to stay up.
I finally came to the decision that I should familiarize myself with the grounds. If by the end of the week I was still only able to walk about five feet without getting lost, I didn't deserve the title as a level two agent at Renege.
I deserved the title as Naraku's lackey at Hell's Mark.
Personally, I thought the former sounded better on a resume.
I kicked the chair out from under my quality-made door and peeked my head out of it, looking down the empty hallway and seeing no one. I snuck out quietly, looking from side-to-side to see if there were any rooms that I could look into. I sauntered down the east end of the hallway and learned that it was more or less just a hall for lackeys. It was nothing like Renege where everything was separated because here, it was strictly co-ed. Retracing my steps and passing my door, I searched down the west end.
Pretty soon I came to a large room that looked like a family room of sorts. It had a couple beat-up couches, a small TV, a couple small tables that held month old magazine subscriptions and a ratty old carpet. Across the hall was Naraku's office, I remembered and I was just about to further explore when a hand on my shoulder startled me.
I whipped around, my left hand swinging out and making contact with someone's head.
"Mutt-face was right. You do have a hell of a punch."
Blinking, I focused on the male ahead of me. He was tall, a good foot above me with long brown hair that was in a high ponytail and cool blue eyes. His lips tugged into a cocky smirk which led me to believe he was just as bad as Inuyasha and I also noticed the way he stood so close to me.
Does no one know the value of personal space?
Evil bastard's lackey number two seemed to inch closer to me, which led me to conclude my former question. "Hey, I'm Kouga. It's nice to meet you."
"Kagome," I said, smirking. This was my first test to do the whole don't-mess-with-me-image and the I'm-so-innocent too. I turned my back to him and looked around the main room, walking towards the couch. "So this is where you do…what?" I asked him. Might as well keep conversation, I'd have to meet him eventually and it was better if I started to get to know people.
"Chill mostly," Kouga said, shrugging. "Mostly we eat here if we're having a party."
I whipped around and looked at him, brow cocked. "A party?"
Kouga laughed and the sound was so deep it made you want to put a hand on his chest to feel the rumble. "Do you even know what that is?"
"Sure, I do," I said, crossing my arms. I was not going to look like some stupid little brat. "It's one of those excuses for getting drunk and missing work the next day."
Kouga shook his head, a small smile on his lips. "True enough." He brushed past me –which again proves my point since he had the entire room to move around in and yet he just accidentally brushed into me- and sat down on the couch. He grabbed the remote and flicked on the television. It was some action show and pretty soon I got the feeling that Kouga forgot I even existed.
Sighing inwardly, I walked out of the room and back into the hallway. There had to be more to see. I was just about to further check out the west end when another hand touched my shoulder. Again I turned around sharply, my hand ready to hit someone when I realized it was Kouga. Once again.
He looked at me questionably. "Why'd you leave?"
"Because I want to look around…" I answered slowly. What, did he expect me to just sit and watch TV with him? Was he really that dense?
"Oh," Kouga said, smiling and I could see all of his shiny white teeth. "Then how about I show you around?"
I smiled. This would make my job easier. "Lead the way," I told him and let him brush past me again. He started walking down the hall and it was then that I noticed he had a tail.
A tail for God's sake. Well, it's not like I've never met demons before because I worked with them at Renege, but most of them conceal their tails for the number one reason that it could be used against them. It wasn't that difficult to grab someone's tail and pull them back, smash them into a wall or push them off a cliff. So Renege came up with a type of concealing potion. You injected it and it lasted for around twenty-four hours.
Please, don't ask me about specifics, I'm not a demon.
Kouga stopped and I had to snap out of it quickly because I almost hit him. "This," he said while typing in a password and opening a closet, "is where all of our weapons are. Naraku is going to have to tell you the password eventually but for now you won't be going on a lot of missions. You're going to be doing a lot of training and testing."
"Oh yippee," I muttered under my breath and Kouga laughed, obviously hearing me. I have to remember to say things in my mind and not out loud here; demons have amazing hearing. That was probably going to be very hard to do because I was one of those people that constantly talked to themselves.
"Don't worry. We all had to suffer through it," Kouga said.
I just laughed and shook my head, following him as we continued through. He walked further down the hall until we came to a large tiled room. "To the left," Kouga said pointing down to the left of the room that branched out into two more halls, "is the shower room. It's all co-ed," Kouga said with a wink to me and all I did was stare at him, deadpanned.
I was not a sex toy.
"And then to the right," Kouga continued as if he hadn't seen my reaction, "is the kitchen. We rotate on a daily basis of who's cooking. Most of the time we have partners but sometimes we have to do it all by ourselves. Because you're the new worker, you're going to be cooking tomorrow."
Me? Cook? Hahahaha.
I looked up at Kouga but I couldn't find a trace of teasing in his features. Oh dear God, he was serious.
Kouga looked up to a large clock that hung on the wall. From what I saw, it was the only one here other then the ones in the bedrooms. "The meeting is going to start in a minute. We should get going."
I nodded and then turned around, making my way through the place in confidence. Early on I found that I was one of those people that had a good sense of direction and instincts. That, plus a fair memory helped me in many situations, and this was one of them.
Of course, the underground maze was about as difficult as walking a straight line. There were only a couple branches out and those were for either the rooms or the kitchen area.
When we got there, most of the members of Hell's Mark were sitting casually in the main room, chatting occasionally to the person beside them. That was of course, until I walked in.
"Hey Kouga, is that the new girl?" a scrawny looking guy asked me, his white hair in a Mohawk and wearing a canine grin.
I rolled my eyes. "Have you seen me here before?" I asked Mohawk man.
"Uh, no…" he said slowly, his grin starting to disappear.
"Then," I continued, "I'm obviously new."
A guy who looked fairly identical to Mohawk man nudged him and snickered. "She's a smart one."
"What's your name?" a voice from beside me asked and I turned to see a pretty redhead with her hair in pigtails and green eyes stare at me, looking me over.
"Kagome," I answered smoothly; my voice neither too high nor too low. "I've only been here for what…an hour or so?"
"A little less than an hour," a familiar voice confirmed from behind me and I sighed. Evil bastard's lackey was back. Damn.
"And how would you know Kagome?" Mohawk man's twin asked.
Inuyasha shrugged. "Pre-test."
"So you slipped up," Kouga said. "Even a half-breed such as yourself shouldn't have had a problem keeping a human girl tied up."
I could see Inuyasha's face harden and his claws flexed as he prepared to tackle Kouga to the ground. I'm guessing he was surprised then, to see that Kouga was already lying flat on the dirty floor, his right hand covering his face.
It was then that everyone turned to look at me as I lowered my arm and unclenched my fist. Yes, I know. I had just attacked one of the members of Hell's Mark. I didn't have any friends here because I knew no one other then evil bastard's lackey and I had only been here for a grand total of an hour. Yet, I still attacked him. Why?
Because no one gets away with saying that I'm not strong enough, just because I'm a female human.
"What the hell?" Kouga spat, shaking his head and looking at me confused from the floor. "What was that for?"
"Just because I am human and just because I'm a girl doesn't change anything. I bet if we fought right now, I would win."
Beside me, Inuyasha started laughing. "This is absolutely priceless."
With a quick glance and only a moment's hesitation, I turned around and roundhouse kicked Inuyasha in the head, knocking him to the floor right beside Kouga.
"You're right, this is priceless," I said and then as if on cue, Naraku opened up the door to his office and gestured for us to get inside, looking at me with a sly smile when he saw both Kouga and Inuyasha at my feet.
As we started to walk into the dark and foul-smelling office, I felt a small tug on my arm and saw the redhead stand beside me. "Now you," she said with a smile, "are someone I can get along with. I'm Ayame."
"Hey," I said with a smile.
"Enough chit-chat," Naraku ordered, his deep but soft voice filling the room and silencing everyone. "It has come to my attention that the missions I have given you are becoming sloppy. Nothing is done properly, not everything is complete, and you take too long or make mistakes. This at Hell's Mark is unacceptable."
No one in the room spoke.
"As of tomorrow, you will be waking up earlier. Training will start at six a.m. sharp and any slackers will be punished. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes," everyone chorused in unison, the sound more bored than frightened.
"And now to get to a different note," Naraku said, gesturing for me to come forward –which I did albeit reluctantly. "I want you all to meet Kagome. From what you just saw back in the main room, I don't think she lacks in talent or speed."
I swore I heard Inuyasha curse me with some name that went along the lines of 'bitch.'
"Now, I'd like everyone to introduce themselves. Hakaku?"
I was surprised that Naraku was making the team do this. What is this, kindergarten? I came here as a double agent to get information and bring it back to Renege. Not play name games and learn each other's favourite colours.
Mohawk man grinned weakly at me. "I'm Hakaku and this," Hakaku said gesturing towards his twin, "is Ginta."
I just nodded and waited for more introductions.
"Well, you already know I'm Kouga," Mr. Sexist said, winking at me. I felt my eyebrow twitch upwards but hoped no one noticed. Since I saw a small smirk come from a certain someone, I guess someone did.
"And I'm Ayame," Ayame shrugged with a smile. "Welcome to Hell."
A couple chuckles came out of that but a stern look from Naraku corrected them all. I sighed inwardly. At this rate, we would be done by midnight.
A female standing in the far corner of the room with black hair tied into a bun and red ruby eyes groaned. "So much enthusiasm," she drawled. "My name is Kagura and beside me is Kanna." She pointed to a small fragile looking girl that looked like more of a child than a killer who glanced at me curiously with black eyes.
"To the far right," Kagura continued, "is Goshinki and beside him are Yura, Kageromaru, Juromaru, Tsubaki, Ryukotsusei and Muso."
By this point I was just trying to figure out who was who. Kagura just named them all off and I was just praying that she went in order of how they were standing.
Naraku scowled. "Thank you Kagura."
"Don't mention it," Kagura muttered, rolling her eyes and briefly looked down at a coloured fan that lay in her grasp. She stared intensely at it for a moment and then looked towards me. I swear her look sent chills down my spine and a feeling in the pit of my stomach surged.
I didn't know what it meant and I sure as hell didn't know if it was good or bad, but something was very different about Kagura.
"Moving on," Naraku continued. "Kagome, tomorrow you are going to cook for us. We do a routine switch but the rookie of the team always gets cooking duty the next day.
I glanced towards Inuyasha and Kouga. "A rookie, huh?" I murmured and Ayame snickered, giving me a wink.
I looked back towards Naraku who gestured that I could stand back in the huddle with the rest of the group and then, that's when the interesting information came.
"Tomorrow we have another mission. Nothing big but I want Kagome to get a taste for what we do."
Now that surprised me. Kouga told me that I wouldn't be doing missions for a while. Was this a test of my loyalty maybe? To see if I would actually do the work? I hadn't thought of it but anyone else probably thought they wouldn't be doing missions for a while, giving them enough time to complete their double agent work and then run away.
I had to admit, Naraku wasn't dumb but apparently, everyone in the room was shocked.
"It will start in twenty-four hours and we will be going to an old friend of mine. She owes me some money. The job is very simple: get the money and leave within twenty-minutes. Now if she doesn't have the money, that's a very different matter. You will attack give her five minutes to pay up. Then you will kill her. Quick and easy, I don't want any blood left behind, got it? This is going to be done clean, timely and precisely. Understood?"
The group nodded.
"Then I will leave Ryukotsusei to decide who makes the kill and the attack plans, other than that, remember training tomorrow. You're dismissed."
Everyone left the room silently and I was partially in shock. It wasn't like I hadn't seen death before but I had never actually watched and helped it happen.
This is exactly what he's looking for, I thought to myself. He wants me to feel bad. He wants me to attempt to defy. It's just that simple. All I had to do was pretend.
"Hey, are you alright?"
I turned around to see Ayame and I nodded, walking towards the couch in the lounge before turning to her.
"Is it just me," I asked, "or did Naraku put me on a mission a little too early?"
Ayame's eyes widened and she agreed. "I'm surprised. We all are," she added thoughtfully. "Our last rookie was given a month until he was allowed on missions."
"Who was the last rookie?" I asked casually, trying to get as much information as possible.
Ayame was interrupted though by a loud growl. "Ayame, what are you doing?"
Ayame sighed. "Kouga, screw off you jackass."
Kouga huffed. "Bitch."
"I'm not a dog," Ayame corrected, looking back towards me and mouthing a sorry. I did nothing, merely watching with interest as the two squabbled.
"You changed the order!" Kouga yelled.
"So?" Ayame countered. "I don't trust you with Kagome, though I'm more than sure she can handle herself."
"Then why did you change it?"
"Because other then the whores and you idiots, I have no one."
Kouga rolled his eyes. "I take offence."
"You should."
It was then I decided to intervene, curiously wondering what the hell was going on.
"Oh, I just changed the cooking routine so I get to help you with dinner tomorrow and not Kouga."
Silently, I thanked her. Not that Kouga was a bad person or anything, I certainly had nothing against him as of yet, but I had said the exact same thing about Hojo and look where that got me.
"Sweet," I answered simply. "So who are the whores?"
Ayame laughed. "Well, they're not really…" she said slowly, as if thinking about it. "I can't exactly call them bitches though because it doesn't fit the title. I mean Yura and Tsubaki though. The idiots are the guys, obviously."
"What about Kagura and Kanna?"
Ayame shrugged. "They're never around. Kagura's usually on her own and Kanna just seems to disappear until she's needed."
"Handy at times," Kouga agreed, "because she's creepy."
Ayame threw him a death glare and sighed. "You're such a jerk."
Kouga's face scrunched in confusion. "You think the exact same thing as I do!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah, but at least I don't voice it like you."
Oh dear God. How was I going to survive living with people like this?
It was twelve-o-seven when my alarm clock went off.
"Goddammit, can't I sleep?" I mumbled, stirring from the irate beeping sound and slapped my hand down on the snooze button to turn it off.
Sesshomaru told me to call him, so I set up a time at night. Now, I listened carefully to see if I could hear anyone getting up. Lucky for me, the floors in the halls creaked so I would be alarmed if anyone was coming.
Opening up the back of the phone, I took out the SIM card and put in my very own, snapping the back of it on before dialling a memorized number.
Sesshomaru's voice was such a relief to hear that I almost started crying. But I didn't. Sesshomaru wasn't that special.
"Hello?" came the voice on the other end.
"Loyal traitor," I murmured; my voice low as I whispered the secret password.
"Kagome! How is it?" Sesshomaru asked me.
I snorted. "Please, don't ask."
"Alright then. Next meeting is in four days. Meet me in Demon Woods, at the clearing where you met Naraku."
"Got it," I said. "Bye."
"Bye," Sesshomaru said shortly and then when I heard the click on the other end, I sighed and removed the new SIM card and switched it for the old one.
Great, I had four days until seeing someone at least somewhat normal who was bent on perfectionism and not world domination.
Putting the phone back on the night table, I buried myself back under the covers and rested my head back on my pillow, praying that tomorrow wouldn't come.
Sadly, it came.
"What the hell? Kagome get your fat ass out of bed."
I jolted up, turning towards my bedroom door where a very tired looking Inuyasha glared at me. "Well?"
I glared daggers back at him and he took a step back. "Well, what?" I hissed.
"Aren't you going to turn that damn thing off?"
My brow furrowed in confusion until I heard a repetitive beeping sound. I turned to my night table and saw that my alarm clock was going off. Whoops.
I turned it off by smashing the snooze button once again and then flipping a switch…which I accidentally threw a bit too hard because next thing I knew, it was on the ground.
"Well aren't you a smart one. A morning person too, I can tell," Inuyasha commented, giving me that damn sexy smirk that made me want to…well grab, twist and pull.
The lack of his reproduction would probably make the world a better place.
"Screw off," I said flippantly, storming up to my door, grabbing it and then flinging it closed.
…Of course since the door didn't shut, it banged into the door jam, cracked the trim and then shot right back, the door knob crashing into the wall and creating a hole.
Trust me, that wasn't the worst of it. Other than the total embarrassment, the hole in my wall and the cracked trim, Inuyasha was still there.
Whatever Inuyasha was going to say was delayed because before I let him even utter a sound out of that cocky mouth of his, I kicked him in the shin, slammed the door shut and shoved a chair underneath.
It took me a record of five minutes to get ready which meant in my new 'training outfit' (a pair of track pants and a sports bra), putting my hair up into a messy bun and doing the routine wash face, brush teeth scenario. Slowly, I opened the door, sliding the chair that held it in place away and stepped out.
Inuyasha wasn't there.
And that made me believe one thing: there really was a God.
I jogged down to the lounge where I assumed I'd meet someone. It seemed to be the place everyone went to for everything. Luckily I was right and saw Ayame punching Kouga in the face. To me it looked like a daily routine for them and I'd bet anyone that I'm right.
Just then Mohawk man and his twin came up on either side of me.
"Ten bucks on Ayame," the twin said, rubbing his hands together. I think his name was Ginta.
Mohawk man grinned and shook his head. "I don't know man. Kouga is getting tired of her bossing him around."
"What's he going to do Hakaku? Hit her back? You know that Kouga would never hit a girl unless he had to. Ayame is no exception."
Both of them seemed to then notice me, since they both stared at me expectantly.
"Can I help you?" I asked, trying to hide my smile.
"Well," Ginta said.
"Who do you think is going to win?" Hakaku finished.
I shrugged. "Neither of them."
Hakaku eyed me in confusion. "How is that? One of them always wins."
"Sometimes Kouga backs down and other times it's Ayame," Ginta confirmed.
"It doesn't matter," I said matter-of-factly. "Since they like each other, by backing down they proved to the other that they'll risk a bit of pride for them and by winning they show that no matter which one of them gets the last word, they'll never have the last talk."
Hakaku and Ginta looked at each other and then back at me.
"Holy."
"Shit."
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Before either of them could say a word I stepped in between the two lovebirds and dragged Ayame away to train. I needed an escape from Idiotland, ASAP.
"Good morning," Ayame said to my slyly. "I heard you had an encounter with Inuyasha."
I sighed. "You mean Bastard," I corrected, smiling a bit. "And yeah I did. Is he always that annoying?"
"Only before you really get to know him. Once you two are tight, you'll probably never find him annoying again."
"Somehow, I doubt it."
"You'll think that now. Especially when you hear the gossip."
Shit. Gossip? Not good.
I tried not to seem too anxious. What happened? Did someone hear me last night? Did anyone find out my secret? Did someone manage to find out about my bogus past? That I'm an agent at Renege?
"Enlighten me," I said tightly, hoping that Ayame wouldn't notice the dark cloud that was probably looming over my head.
"Nope," Ayame said with a wink. "I'll let you find out yourself."
"What is this?" I whined. "Some sort of rookie joke? Let the newbie suffer?"
Ayame laughed and shook her head. "Kagome, I love you. Honestly. But trust me when I say, you'll want to hear it for yourself."
The hell I did.
I realized after she said that that we were at some heavy metal door and when Ayame pushed up hard on it, sunlight streamed through and practically blinded me. We were outside of the building and I saw a couple of the other members already sparring with each other.
"See that shed?" Ayame said, pointing towards a rusty looking metal shack. "Open up the door and go inside. Once you're in there, go to the far left corner and feel your way along the left edge for a handle. Open the secret door and grab us a couple sandbags."
"'Kay," I answered and then slowly made my way over to the haunted looking shack. It was easy enough to make my way through the cluttered room since it was probably just as bad as my place back at home –Renege. And finding the secret door was fairly simple too. The wall was smooth and then all of a sudden, some big rusted knob just scratched against your palms.
Of course, it was getting the sandbags that would be difficult. I remembered those things at Renege. It took at least two people to carry them from the bunker to the gym there and unless these bags were filled with helium and not sand, I wasn't sure how I was going to get them from point A to point B.
"Need some help?"
I growled low in my throat and turned around to see Bastard, formally known as evil bastard's lackey and supposedly named Inuyasha. "What do you want?"
Inuyasha shrugged and gave me another cocky smirk. I don't know why he keeps doing that. Every time he does, I seem to have a lower patience level than normal and end up beating the shit out of him. "Well the sandbags are heavy and I certainly can't do it by myself."
I put a hand to my heart and sighed. "Aw, poor baby Inuyasha. Did that hurt you?"
He looked at me confused. "What are you going on about now wench? How did what hurt?"
I rolled my eyes. "Admitting that it was too heavy for even you to carry. It must have hurt your ego quite a bit."
Inuyasha gave that trademark smirk again. "Maybe it did."
"And maybe you're all for the good guys."
Inuyasha closed in on me and pushed me against the wall. Had I known he was going to attack me, his ass would've been on the floor right now, but I was completely taken by surprise.
"I think," Inuyasha whispered huskily in my ear, "that you may be pushing it."
I swallowed hard despite my greatest efforts to negate all reactions. I felt warm all of a sudden and it spread all throughout me. This was not good.
"I think," I whispered back, looking him straight in the eye, "that you better get off of me before your face is buried in the cement."
Dammit!
Inuyasha laughed and backed off, walking towards the sandbags and grabbing a handle. Quickly I grabbed the other and together we walked outside to see everyone out there. Ayame ran up to us when we dropped it.
"That's all we'll need," she said to me and nodded towards Inuyasha.
Looking at me and laughing again, Inuyasha ran off.
What a fucking bastard.
Ayame must have noticed my dark expression. "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing," I said as easily as I could. Only the fact that when Inuyasha pinned me to the wall and was way too close for comfort, he got some satisfaction in hearing my voice.
That had involuntarily become husky without my knowing until it was too late.
Shit. He probably thought I found him attractive. Or sexy. Or that I wanted him. Or whatever else guys think about.
Sighing, I asked Ayame what we were going to do.
"Warm-up and then some punching and kicking practice. Then we'll roughhouse a bit," she said winking.
I couldn't help but laugh; Ayame was just so loveable.
It took us a half hour to warm-up and then another half-hour of kicking and punching exercises. It was time to roughhouse, but sadly, Ayame failed to mention that it was between the entire team and not just me and her.
Eight pylons made a large box that covered a fair chunk of the useable land Hell's Mark had. Kanna stood outside of the box and since everyone was quiet, her small voice could be heard throughout. Barely.
"Ready," Kanna said. It was supposed to be an all out war. We were to attack each other viciously until we were too tired to fight or knocked unconscious. If you were pushed out of the box, you lost. "Set. Go!"
All of a sudden, chaos ensued. Everyone was jumping and beating on each other and I had to duck to just narrowly miss an attack from Yura who tried to kick me in the head. Looping a kick on the ground, I knocked her off her feet and grabbed her, punching her in the face before throwing her out of the boundaries.
With a quick look to everyone already out, I noticed that every single one of them, with the exclusion of Yura was bleeding. They looked like they had just barely made it out of one of the World Wars. It was terrible! Is this all they did? Beat each other up to teach them to move faster? Strike harder? It was a bunch of bullshit.
Unexpectedly, I was grabbed from behind, the attacker's arms looping around my shoulders and holding the back of my neck. Automatically, since Sesshomaru had engrained the lessons into my brain, I beat with my knuckles on their hands and then when they were loose I pried them off. I elbowed them in the stomach, stepped on their foot, back kicked into their shin and when I spun around to my still standing attacker, punched them squarely in the nose.
Oh, hello Kouga.
From behind Kouga I saw a flash and then Kouga was knocked to the ground by a kick in the head. He was unconscious and quickly Goshinki and Muso, who were already out, grabbed the limp body and dragged him away.
"Why'd you do that?" I yelled at Inuyasha, who laughed as they took a beaten Kouga away. "He was already out as it was!"
Inuyasha shrugged at me. "It was fun –duck!"
I ducked and felt the wind fly over my head as someone's foot narrowly missed me. Inuyasha leaped over and I rolled to safety. I got up on my feet within seconds and then looked to see Tsubaki right beside me. She aimed a punch at me, but I blocked it and kicked her in the abdomen. We were close to the border line and my kick forced her out. I ran closer to the middle so I wouldn't be forced out by something stupid like crossing the boundaries.
There were only three people left in the area, including me. Around me on the outside stood Goshinki and Muso, Kouga, Hakaku, Ginta, Ayame, Kageromaru and Ginta. Yura and Tsubaki were out as well because of me and Inuyasha, and Kagura remained in the field.
Well, Inuyasha since Kagura was now flying through the air unconscious.
Inuyasha smirked when he looked around and saw me, his next target. I smirked too. I couldn't wait to punch his face in after what he did to me. It wasn't entirely his fault my voice turned husky but then again, he was the one pushing up against me and whispering seductively in my ear.
Damn him.
For a while, we just stood there looking at each other and everyone around us started whispering.
"Who do you think is going to win?"
"My bet is on Inuyasha."
"Really? I think it's Kagome. She's one hell of a bitch."
"Yeah but didn't you see what they were doing in the shed?"
The last comment made my head turn. "WHAT?" I exclaimed, unable to control my anger.
Muso, who was the one that had said it, started laughing. "Come on Sex Kitty, it's obvious Inuyasha has some power over you. You could've slaughtered him in the shed but you just let him have his way with you."
"What the fuck are you going on about?" I screamed. These people were obviously delusional. The most Inuyasha did to me was whisper in my ear.
Was that a sin now too?
Inuyasha laughed and I looked at him, outraged.
"Why the hell are you–?"
"Let's go Sex Kitty," Inuyasha said slyly. "Show me what you got."
Oh, I'd show him alright.
I'd show him the one way to Hell with both eyes swollen shut, his mouth bleeding, his body a mangled mess with at least five broken bones and an ego the size of a speck of dirt.
Oh, I will definitely show him.
Don't worry. The real action comes next chapter, and that's when the ball starts rolling. And also, since I've been asked, I do read every single review sent to me. I love reading them, they basically make my day after another stupid day of school lol! Thanks again!
