Chapter 4: An Omen
"Shit!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to shoot down the growing number of infected that were wandering outside of the safe room. "This is starting to get on my nerves"
Kouga cutting down the individuals with precision smiled smugly responded without turning towards him "If you had better aim, you wouldn't be having so much trouble."
Rolling his eyes for a split second Inuyasha continued to shoot stopping every once in a while to refill the shells in his shotgun.
Rin and Kohaku stood on the other side of the rest of the survivors their backs to one another providing each other with cover.
"If they worked as good with each other as we do they wouldn't have so many problems" Kohaku grunted out forcefully
"Adults could never work together" Rin replied with a laugh "At least none of the adults I knew could. They're just not as cooperative as kids, so of course they can't work like us."
"I told all of you already, I'm not a kid" Kohaku replied in irritation
"We're the same age you know" Rin responded also in irritation
"So what does that mean?" he questioned her irritability growing
"It means you're a kid too. Duh"
He didn't respond just concentrated on piercing the heads of the infected running towards them.
When the crowd was finally dispatched Inuyasha took a deep breath and looked around. "My God I think that was the hardest one yet."
"I wasn't sweatin it" Kouga replied also taking deep breaths
"Then why are you breathing so hard " Rin asked him with sarcastic curiosity
"Feh" Kouga replied turning away from her
"We shouldn't stay here" Kagome began stating her first true words since the horde began attacking "We don't want to be caught up in another horde of them. We should get moving"
"She's right" Inuyasha cosigned "Let's move quickly"
The five of them then began a light jog through the littered filled streets of the city, eyes searching for any lurking infected that could jump out and surprise them.
"Which way is it to the mall from here" Inuyasha asked the group behind him
"Don't you live here, shouldn't you know where it is lightweight" Kouga asked him
"It was your idea to go to the damn mall, I figured you would know where it is" Inuyasha replied quickly
Sensing a growing confrontation Kagome piped up "I know where it is, and I also know a gun store along the way there where we can upgrade these." She said addressing her twin pistols
"Alright then lead the way" Inuyasha gave her a smile
Nodding she picked up the pace of her steps almost to a full sprint leaving the other four survivors behind.
"Slow down Kagome" Inuyasha yelled to her "Damn did she run track in high school" he asked his other group members as she continued to sprint
"Fast legs, I like it" Kouga replied suggestively
"Is there any time of any day where you don't think about sex?" Kohaku asked him in irritation
"Nope. Once you've had it, it becomes an addiction. And besides who's gonna repopulate the Earth if we don't" he pointed towards a still sprinting Kagome "The mutt here certainly won't do it. And you look like a virgin. So that leaves me and the babe up there"
Kohaku turned red in the face at his virgin comment and stared angrily at Kouga although the latter had seemed to move on from the conversation already.
"Come on guys, lets catch up to her" Inuyasha said picking up his pace "I don't want her getting into trouble."
The other three complied as they tried to catch up with Kagome.
"I'm so glad I used to run track." She smiled to herself "It really helps out now. I can't wait to get out of here."
The five survivors now sprinting were unaware of the infected lurking in the shadows of the buildings above them, that was until it let out a low menacing growl.
"What was that" Rin stopped running "Do you guys here that"
"What is it Rin" Inuyasha replied walking to her
"I'm not sure. But it sounded, kinda like a growl."
"I don't hear anything" Kohaku said as he listened for the growl she had mentioned
"Me neither. I think you're goin crazy" Kouga said to her shaking his head
"Are you sure you heard something" Inuyasha asked her
"Yes I heard it loud and clear"
"Well if you hear it again let me know. C'mon we have to catch up to Kagome."
"I'm not going anywhere until I find out where that growl came from"
"We don't have time for this Rin. Let's go" Inuyasha yelled at her
"No" she yelled back
Kagome faintly heard the group yelling behind her but ignored them. She was on a mission to get out of the city and survive, no matter the costs. That's how Kikyo would have wanted it. She picked up her pace even more a look of determination crossing her face when suddenly a hooded figure lunged towards her.
"Ahhhh" She screeched loudly trying desperately to get the figure off of her as it began to claw at her torso
"Kagome" the other four yelled approaching her
Kouga sprinting turned the barrel of his gun towards him to hit the creature with the butt of his SMG and quickly returned it to the right position just in time to shoot it dead center in its forehead.
"That's how you do it motherfuckers" Kouga proclaimed loudly
Rin shaking her head at him and helping Kagome up asked her "Are you alright Kagome-chan"
'Chan' Kagome thought to herself but said nothing of it just responded "Yes Rin I'm fine." Turning her attention to Kouga she said to him with a light smile "Thank you Kouga. That was actually pretty sweet of you."
Blushing he turned away quickly and said smugly "I haven't fucked you yet. I can't just let you die. The fate of the human race depends on us"
Rolling her eyes she responded "And for once I thought you were being chivalrous. How foolish of me"
"Hey I could be shil-vay-ros if I wanted to" he responded insulted
"You couldn't be chivalrous" Inuyasha cut in putting emphasis on the word chivalrous "Even if you tried"
Refusing to respond to Inuyasha he inquired "Shouldn't we be there by now I mean we've been running a long time"
"Sorry" Kagome responded quickly "I forgot to mention the mall is on the other side of town"
"Seriously" Kouga replied angrily "How can you forget something like that"
Rin shook her head "We're never getting out of here"
"Now come on guys" Kohaku cut in "We've got this far, we can certainly reach the other side of town"
"What did I tell you about the optimism kid" Kouga barked angrily
Ignoring him Kohaku took off running again, ignoring the group behind him.
Shaking her head Kagome said "He's an impatient one isn't he" and took off after him
"My bet is that he dies first" Kouga laughed chasing her
The two siblings remained still and looked at each other. "You okay Yasha" she looked up at her older brother curiously
"Yeah" he replied before holstering his weapon. Something doesn't feel right. Why does it feel like all of this will be for nothing.
Ignoring his own thoughts he ran quickly to catch up with the rest of the group.
I'm really sorry it took me so long to update and that it was so short. I just couldn't think of anything to write. Gomen nasai, please don't be mad at me. I'll give you a cookie if you won't.
