Chapter 2.1

When Kagome came to, she knew she was in trouble because she so much like shit. She wasn't at all comfortable either and knew she was laying in a trunk, damn. When she tried to move, she was in handcuffs but something was around the metal and she sighed. So, she had to play a different part this time. She wasn't going to be a victim but she wasn't at the same time because who could heal a damn gun shot in their hand?!

That thought brought the pain in her hand all the way back because she reminded herself. Damn again.

She groaned in pain as she couldn't fist her hand from the pain and her hand wasn't even wrapped so she wondered how much blood she had lost now. Had they been driving with her in the trunk long? How much longer until they stopped and the show started?

There was one question that whispered at the back of her mind though. Would she die from a stupid gun shot in her hand. Well, yeah, sure. If she was trapped in the trunk long enough.

She heard nothing from the front of the car and she sighed because they weren't even hinting where they were heading.

Instead of dreading of her eminent death, if she wasn't going to get out of the trunk, she tried to think of how she was going to do this mission. Sure she STILL didn't want to but she had to if she ever wanted to see her family again. She knew she needed to pass it, else she and her family would die. She wondered if they were even okay anyway. She hadn't seen them in years and couldn't even send a letter. Satellite wasn't working in the area she tried to look at. It was so much a setup that she ended up moving to an area close to a military base. Now she couldn't look at even a simple house they lived in because of the security around the base.

Kagome fought back the tears and focused on the bastard that she had to get to.

That's when the car stopped and she bit her lip because she had no idea what was going to happen. Was she even going on with the mission? Maybe they took her to a swamp or the woods to dump her there. Alive. She doubted it.

Hope bloomed in her chest because she probably was going to live still because if they really wanted her dead, she would have already been. So she was going to live, only problem. How much was it going to hurt to stay alive? Wait, she didn't want to know that question.

Her thoughts stopped when the car was turned off and she heard talking. The men were ushering each other to hurry because they didn't have time before they would get caught.

The trunk opened and she blinked a couple times as the bright light hit her eyes. She didn't have time to adjust because she was pulled from the trunk and stood up next to the car. "Don't say anything Higurashi. We have to make this quick."

She would have said duh but she couldn't because that wouldn't help her situation. "Where are we?" She asked instead, and cracked open an eye. Finally, she was able to at least tell where the lights were coming from. They definitely weren't real because they were iridescent lights. They were in a garage, she figured out when she noticed a couple cars around them.

"I'm not going to run," she told them as the man started to pull her one way after pressing a gun into her back to usher her forward.
She heard a chuckle from him before she was stopped and keying came from his pocket. She wanted to sigh because he was in a hurry and it was making him fumbly. Making too much noise with his keys. "You're going to ruin the plan it we linger," she reminded him, not caring about if she got hit for the comment. She waited for it but it didn't happen.

"Shut up, woman," he told her and tugged her hands towards him and he opened one cuff and she immediately pulled it to the front of her, checking her wrist for any bruises. There were and now she sighed, "damn man, you didn't have to make them so tight. Now I have to hide this somehow." She couldn't with the clothes that she had on now. All she had on was heels, dress pants, and a dressy shirt besides a pair of earrings and a simple necklace.

"They will be hidden," the other man said as she looked at them and realized that they were the same men that had came busting through the door. But their faces didn't make her not realize the hidden meaning behind their words.

"What you are going to do?" She asked, hiding the worry that she had.

Neither answered and she felt the man behind her take the cuff off her other hand. She didn't take her eyes off the man though and realized that she didn't want an answer because it was taking them too long for an answer.

"Fine, let's get this over with." She told them and started to walk again and didn't see the small grins that appeared on the men's faces as she walked past them.
"Go towards the floor number that has the light blinking," the first man told her and she nodded, turning left after a car.

"You better make this quick," Kagome told them as she checked herself over but not too much because she knew what was coming. Pain wasn't a thing no one wanted but it was part of the game, the play to make the intro. Well, to make it convincing at least. That's what plays were for anyway, to hide things, like pasts and such. She wondered what her new persona was going to be this time. Most likely the innocent one again. Never knew.

She stopped when she heard their voices tell her to and she turned towards them. One man was grinning at her as he had his gun pointed at her. "Let the play begin." She whispered to herself but one replied back.

The second man, that didn't uncuff her, chuckled and handed her her purse that had all her information in it. It was the same purse she carried around but they went through it and changed what needed to be done. "This will be interesting for us all, especially you." He told her and tilted his neck to the side to pop it.
Kagome wanted to roll her eyes but fought it as she watched them both look at their watches.

All of a sudden the second guy rushed towards her and punched her hard in the stomach and she collapsed to the ground, hand to her stomach. He knelt next to her and whispered into her ear, "we are going to enjoy this part."

"Whatever, get it over with," she whispered as she tried to push the pain away. She heard both of them chuckle before more pain came to her. Punches and kicks were put on her and she groaned as she knew she couldn't fight against it that much. She groaned in pain and finally it relented and she heard some shuffling before she heard the same voice in her ear, "you can yell some now." He pulled her up by the hair and shoved her against a wall. He roughened her up there then she was dropped once more against the hard ground. "The target is here," he whispered again and she groaned because she couldn't even now.

"I suggest you both step away," a deep voice came from somewhere around her and she heard the men both turn towards the target. Her face was punched a few times as she was pulled up. She could barely even groan in her pain as she was dropped to the ground because her jaw was swollen so much.

She felt so tired and just wanted to sleep but she knew she had to stay conscious just for a little longer.

"Look here, the savor has come," her capture chuckled at their target. "With a toy gun too. What's you name savior?" He looked at the ID tag hanging from his pocket and grinned, "Sesshomaru Taisho is it. Silly name."

"What makes you think a pretty boy like you can beat us? Guns are easily dodged," the second capture stated and motioned to Kagome. "We have a perfect shield."
Kagome's target cocked his gun back and narrowed his eyes at them. "What makes you think I don't know how to use this 'toy'?" His voice was bland but she could sense the danger and seriousness in it.

She could sense the tension and played dumb victim and cried out softly, "help... me."

His eyes moved to her for a moment and damned himself for the stupid mistake because they were both on him as soon as he made the mistake. He got behind the car he had been partially hidden by and barely dodged the bullet that raced by his head.

"Oh look! He does know how to fight!"

"Yeah, dodging isn't really fighting though is it?" The other man commented back and they both chuckled. "How are you going to save the princess savior!?" The second man asked as he pulled his gun out and turned the safety off before grabbing Kagome by the hair and pulling her up. She let out a loud yell of pain as she weakly reached up and held on.

Sesshomaru's jaw tightened as he couldn't believe he came over here. He wasn't going to go home though without knowing his company was safe. His employees were annoying but he had to make sure that they were alive to get work done. Besides, investigations were a hassle and he was sure there would be a headline about this one if he had let it slip.

Silently, he slipped his phone out and dialed his security and attached the police to the call too once they picked up. Putting the phone on the ground under the car, he thought about how he was going to cover his ass if it did come to an investigation.

"Leave the girl alone," he told them and heard their laughs. "Well, we would have but she had such a nice outfit on. That kind of clothing spits out money."

One had her purse over his shoulder and grinned as they both dragged the girl behind a car with them.

Now he just had to wait for the police and cops to show up but he knew he had to put some effort in it. "You won't get anything for it now." He told them as he made his way around the car the opposite side but still getting closer to them.

"That won't matter because you pour money off you too," the other man said and shot at Sesshoumaru.

An alarm sounded as the bullet hid the car behind him and he had to wonder how they knew he was right there when he hadn't made a sound. Maybe they weren't idiots after all.

Sesshomaru hid the smirk that wanted to appear because of a small challenge. His last one was months ago and it was about time he was going to get a new one.
He heard sirens then his brows furrowed just slightly because his toys were about to be taken away. Looking towards the flashing blue and yellows that reflected off the wall, he chuckled. "Your fun is over. Let the girl go before you're shot."

"That would be no fun!" One yelled and laughed, pushing the gun to Kagome's head.

"A challenge is a challenge! Besides, we aren't going to jail!" A hand from the man holding her moved up Kagome's blouse and another harder, cold piece moved to her other shoulder.

Sesshomaru wondered what that meant for a second before he heard gunshot then the painful scream of the woman they had.

"Too bad we couldn't play with her longer!" The other man said as he heard sobbing from the woman. At least she was alive still.

That's when he heard two gun shots and another scream of the woman. He was wondering what happened before he saw a cop move past him and he watched them before he heard, "clear!"

Standing, he moved towards the woman and the cops were circling the woman who was crumpled underneath the bodies of the men that were bleeding to death. Their guns were laying beside them as they were unconscious already, it seemed, from the shock.

The woman looked like she was in shock because she was shaking violently as her hand and one of the cop's was placed over the new wound of her shoulder. Just then he noticed the wound on her hand.

Sesshomaru ignored the questions that were asked of her from the cops because she wasn't answering then he saw the unconscious men being practically dragged off and some paramedics come racing over, one detaching to check on the now arrested men.

He heard the men urging the woman to wake up and his head turned back to the woman who was now unconscious herself.
