Chapter 4: Would You Like Fries With That?
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Sesshoumaru didn't care what that prick Miroku said or what anyone said. This girl had defiled him and his pride. She would pay with her life.
Kagome dashed toward the coffee table and picked up the remote she had set down by the pepper spray and tazer. With a definitive smack, she pushed down the button.
Sesshoumaru stopped mid-chase. His neck lit up with electric light and buzzed. Sesshoumaru withered to the floor in pain.
"Aha! Take that, and that, and that, you creeper! No one messes with me!" Kagome cried wildly, watching Sesshoumaru get zapped over and over again.
Unfortunately for Sesshoumaru, he had forgotten about the thing around his neck, which now was an obvious flaw in his plan of obliterating this girl. It was an electric dog collar around his neck.
"You lowly being you..."
"Behave!" Kagome shouted with glee pressing the button yet again. Oh, he had tried to kill her twice now, but the third time she was not so forgiving.
"All right, buddy-boy, you're going to answer my questions now, or I'll have to fry that pretty hair of yours"
Sesshoumaru hesitated. "If you cease this madden folly, I will agree to answer one question and one only."
'He's actually willing to bargain,' Kagome thought.
"Okay," Kagome put on a poker face. "How about we make it two questions, I'll stop zapping you and maybe I'll get you some different food, since you don't like my Lean Cuisine."
"Fine." Sesshoumaru got up off the floor, his strength quickly recovered. "Two questions."
Kagome walked over to the bed thinking and plopped down on the edge.
"Okay, first question; who are you?"
"I am a tracker," was Sesshoumaru's curt response.
"Aw, come on! That's not fair. You have to tell me more than that," Kagome whined.
A slight smile played on Sesshoumaru's lips "You merely told me I had to answer your questions, you didn't tell me to what extent." He had given up on killing the girl. Clearly, it wasn't going to happen. Instead, he decided to see how things would unfold. Perhaps it would be interesting.
"Fine," Kagome pouted. "next question. What's in it for you to track people like me?"
"It's my job; my clients pay me to hunt people down."
"But why? Who wants me?" Kagome was shocked that someone would actually hire a tracker to kidnap or kill her...either or.
"I believe that's more than two questions," Sesshoumaru replied.
Kagome hissed at him. Sesshoumaru was taken aback
"Did you just hiss at me?"
"You're being a butt head." Kagome frowned at him. "Bully." She stuck out her tongue.
Sesshoumaru raised an eye brow and chuckled.
Perhaps this girl will serve as some amusement after all.
Kagome didn't know what was so funny but saw his mood lighten and built up the courage to ask another question.
"Okay, this is off the record, but umm...Are you single?" Kagome asked somewhat embarrassed.
"Always," his satiny voice replied, a mischievous grin lighting up his features.
Kagome cheeks dusted pink.
"Okay, let's grab some grub." Kagome clapped her hands together changing the subject.
"As long as it's not that vile dish you placed in front of me before," Sesshoumaru said disgusted.
Kagome grinned wickedly.
Picking up his lean cuisine dinner off the bed, she hurled it at his face.
Bulls eye! It hit him square in the face with a loud splat.
"Aha! No one insults my dinners. No one! I am woman, hear me..."
Smack!
A second tray of food hit Kagome's face.
"Oh, that's it, mister. You are so dead!" Kagome gave a war cry and started flinging her chicken ball missiles at him.
"Die!" They hurled food back and forth. Kagome had the largest supply of food in the war, but Sesshoumaru had the upper hand. He easily dodged all of her attacks until he was right in front of her. He sped over and grabbed her hand in mid-fling. The chicken ball dropped to the floor. He took both her hands and lifted her off the floor, from where she had made a fort behind the coffee table.
He pulled her up, her arms in front of his chest; she stood in front of him. Did she dare to look up? Kagome took her chances and stared up into his golden eyes. They had an impish twinkle in them. Kagome's breath stopped, she was surprised she didn't pass out from lack of air. His 6 foot frame bent down and leaned in close to the side of her head.
"I believe I win," he whispered in her ear, his warm breath tickled her neck sending shivers down her spine. She melted in his strong hold. However, as soon as his grip tightened round her arms so did her hand on the remote. Sesshoumaru noticed this and released her. He couldn't kidnap her now; he would have to wait until she was asleep.
"What do you say we go out for some food? " Kagome asked, still trying to compose herself.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
The ride to the fast food restaurant was awkward to say the least. They flew into the parking lot of McDonalds. The wheel of the car yanked around with a screeching sound and they skidded into a vacant parking space.
Kagome had insisted on driving.
'Never again,' Sesshoumaru thought. 'Never, ever, again.'
"Okay, we're here," Kagome chirped
"Thank god," Sesshoumaru replied in a stoic manner, briskly opening the door and getting out. Even for a dog demon the trip was nerve wracking.
Kagome popped out, not the slightest bit fazed and skipped toward the entrance, wagging the remote in his face.
"Alright, come on now. No funny business, remember?" she batted her thick eye lashes at him.
Sesshoumaru grunted in forced compliance.
Hopping through the doors she skipped toward the front counter. It was late, only a few people were left scattered about it the room.
McDonalds as a franchise didn't vary widely in the decorations; plastic chairs and plastic tables, garish colors and a few plastic plants scattered in various corners of the fast food restaurant. So this McDonalds was the same, few people still milling about and a tired looking woman at the cashier.
Walking towards the order-in line, Kagome practically dragged Sesshoumaru up to the faux marble desk.
"Hi there," Kagome greeted the cashier absently, scanning the food choices from the glowing list above her.
"Good evening, how may I help you?" the woman asked, noticeably perkier after seeing one Sesshoumaru waiting in front of her.
"Um, we'll have one...no make it two Big Mac's please," Kagome asked cheerfully, still blithely unaware of the cashier's ogling of Sesshoumaru.
"Coming right up. Would you like fries with that?"
"Yes, please."
The lady paused for a moment, punching in the numbers into the cash box "Is there anything more I can get for you?"
The woman's questions were perceptibly directed toward Sesshoumaru, her eyes drifting up and down his body as she twirled her hair around her finger, leaning over the counter in what one would believe to be a seductive pose.
Kagome hummed as she waited for her order to come, her fingers tapping a matching rhythm on the plastic counter.
Finally a low dinging noise announced that the order was up. The waitress went in the back and carried out the order, setting everything carefully on the gray plastic tray.
"Is this all?" the woman asked, hands hovering near the button to complete the bill.
"Yup, that's it for now," Kagome beamed, searching for her purse so she could pay.
"Here," the sullen voice of Sesshoumaru floated through as he handed a twenty dollar bill to the cashier.
"Thank you so much." The cashier flushed, her hand quivering slightly as it brushed against Sesshoumaru's own clawed hand.
"Bad boy! No flirting with the cashier." Kagome pushed the button. Sesshoumaru twitched violently for a second but otherwise managed to remain standing.
'Yup. I should have killed her.'
The stares of curious bystanders stopped further torture, though Kagome's finger twitched reflexively over the button on the remote.
A child passing by pointed out Sesshoumaru, questioning his mommy, "Why is that man twitching?"
"Come boy," Kagome said, skipping forward to find a window seat, leaving Sesshoumaru to carry the tray behind her.
"Hn," was the monotone response.
The meal passed by without too much communication, talk being drowned out by the slow munching of hamburgers fries and the slurping of root beer.
After the meal was complete, Kagome methodically cleaned up the garbage, shoving all bags and straws into the fry cups and hamburger boxes.
"I'll be right back, okay? Stay here like a good puppy!" Kagome said, bouncing off to the women's restroom.
Sesshoumaru didn't feel it necessary to reply so he stayed silent, waiting impatiently for his captors return.
His eyes strayed to the few people mingling around, watching a family of four as they chowed down through a package of Happy Meals. They slowly finished and everyone went off to the restroom minus one little boy who sat there holding his stomach with a slight grimace.
Hearing Kagome's footsteps returning, Sesshoumaru stood up and proceeded to dump their garbage, sliding the plastic tray back in place.
Going to stand by the bathroom door, Sesshoumaru leaned up against the wall, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose, a characteristic show of annoyance.
The sudden sound of squelching and retching below him, along with the sudden feeling of moisture in his shoes caused Sesshoumaru to open his eyes.
The boy he had seen with the family from before was currently situated in front of him, bowed over his feet, his sides convulsing as the contents of his stomach were emptied...onto Sesshoumaru's shoes.
Squashing the urge to groan, Sesshoumaru waited for the boy to finish his...business.
The parent of said child hurried over to the boy, picking him up and shushing him gently, bringing him into the bathroom to clean him off. Thus leaving Sesshoumaru, standing in front of the bathroom, with barfed-on shoes.
Kagome walked out of the washroom, and quickly assessed the situation.
"Did puppy have a hairball?"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"That was bothersome," Sesshoumaru said, walking out of the men's bathroom, shoes now perfectly clean with a trace of shine to them.
Looking around, Sesshoumaru realized that his 'companion' had disappeared. Groaning internally, Sesshoumaru walked forward with, for fear of a cliché, a face like thunder. Giving an indiscriminate sniff around, Sesshoumaru found the girls scent again, and followed it. Walking past plastic chairs and tables, Sesshoumaru walked to the back of the McDonalds.
Stopping suddenly, Sesshoumaru widened his eyes in unbelief.
She was in the McDonalds Tube Playroom.
Thinning his lips, Sesshoumaru pondered just leaving now, but was stopped by the thought of more shock treatment. Usually, he had believed that it had been for people being treated for insanity. But then again, maybe he was insane; he hadn't killed the girl yet.
Walking past the sign that stated 'If you are over this height, you cannot come in without a child', searching through the mingling scents and sounds, Sesshoumaru found Kagome soon enough. She was playing in the tubes with a little girl with blond curly-Q pigtails. They were having a fine time, crawling through the tubes - though the child was having far more success - giggling and smiling.
"Girl, come here."
Kagome turned around, an instantaneous expression of surprise on her face, changing just as quickly to a gleam of mischief
Cackling madly, Kagome raced as far as her knees and hands would allow, crawling through the tubes and shaking with unbridled laughter.
Glaring heatedly, Sesshoumaru attempted to follow her through the tube, but he found a flaw in that plan very quickly.
He didn't fit.
More cackling could be heard, but now it was from behind him.
"Is puppy stuck in a hole?" Kagome asked, giggling as she stared at Sesshoumaru's rear.
"Girl, you will resist from laughing, and assist me in getting out," he snarled, fidgeting and trying to slide out of the garishly green tube.
Holding back chuckles, Kagome grabbed Sesshoumaru's sides and pulled, waiting for his head to re-appear.
Getting out, Sesshoumaru stood up quickly and smoothed his hair down, placing on his mask of indifference, and left the McDonalds Playground.
"Wait for me, puppy-kins!" Kagome giggled, skipping off after him with a cheerful bounce.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Kagome flopped on the bed exhausted; the events of the nights had caught up to her. Kagome gave a deep sigh and looked over at Sesshoumaru who was sitting a couch in the corner of the living room, facing the bed. He was equally worn-out. Never before had one girl caused so much trouble for him.
It was late. The dull red glow of the alarm clock on her night stand read 12:53.
He wished she would just hurry up and fall asleep...or trip and die, or accidentally cut herself, anything to distract her so he could slip before she pressed that damn button.
Rain hammered against the window. Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky. Kagome sat up, she was tense and on full alert. Another bolt streaked the heavens. Then came the sound that she had not wanted to hear. A loud crack of thunder shook the sky, and vibrated through the apartment. Kagome squeaked and hid under the covers. Sesshoumaru looked questioningly at the huddled mass under the sheets. Another boom roared. Kagome gave a small yelp and crunched herself into a tight ball. She would just have to wait it out like always.
An evil grin crossed Sesshoumaru's features. He was entitled to revenge after all he'd been through. It seemed only fair.
Silent as a ghost, he crept over toward the shaking lump on the bed. Abruptly, Sesshoumaru gave a loud growl and leapt on to Kagome. Kagome screamed and fell off the bed and to the floor with a loud thump.
He waited for her to jump up and start shouting at him, and braced himself for the impact of the shock when she would push the button... but neither came.
He heard muffled sobs being choked back, her sides heaved and out, body curled up in a fetal position.
He had made her cry.
Well, it wasn't like it was the first time he'd done that. Sesshoumaru contemplated leaving the girl while she was distracted and get away from that cursed remote. Then he thought about kidnapping her and just taking the remote by force. It wouldn't be that hard in her current state, plus his job would be done. But something stopped him. Her pitiful form quivering like a leaf as she sobbed, made Sesshoumaru feel not guilty, but responsible.
'Damn conscience.'
Another ear spiting clap of thunder rumbled across the sky.
'She's not my problem,' Sesshoumaru concluded, turning his back on the girl with a delicate twirl. He turned the door handle when something grabbed him from behind. Kagome's delicate fingers clutched onto his coat with an iron grasp.
Sesshoumaru twisted himself around grabbing the girl's hands and pulling her around to face him. She stared up into his face with water crystal blue orbs. Her eyes pleaded silently with his.
"Please stay," Kagome sniffed, stifling a sob.
Sesshoumaru glared at her, fighting of the urge just to knock her out and get this job over with. But something in her eyes spoke of true fear, something Sesshoumaru had only experienced once in his life.
It was a faint memory, the recollection of fear. But still...
Sesshoumaru sighed and closed his eyes, regretting his decision immediately.
"Fine," he grumbled morosely.
Bending down, he lifted her up effortlessly into his arms and carried her back over to the bed. She wrapped her arms up around his neck in a tight embrace and refused to let go when he tried to put her down. Sesshoumaru let out a low growl and she loosened her grip but still had her arm secured around him.
Not knowing what to do in a situation like this he sat on the bed positioning Kagome on his lap and waited for her to let go so he could put her down. It surprised him how trusting this girl was. Despite the fact that she knew he wanted to kidnap and perhaps even kill her she remained inhumanly calm around him. Something about that was not right.
It was a mystery how she could be far more scared of thunder then him, when he was clearly the more dangerous of the two. It was true; demons were not an odd sight in this day and age but there were very few left and they were often feared instead of loved. Then again, Sesshoumaru always seemed to have a positive effect on women no matter what he did. Why had god cursed him with such good looks?
Like a baby kitten, Kagome had stopped crying the instant he picked her up. Though she knew he was dangerous, there was an odd sense of peace felt when he held her. Leaning against his arm it wasn't long before her eyes started to flutter closed, in a matter of minute she was fast asleep in his arms.
Sesshoumaru just sat there, watching the girl, unsure of what to do next. He brushed a stray piece of her raven hair from her face and gently laid her down in the bed. She was attractive for a woman, with a deep gazing blue eyes and a curvaceous body any girl would envy.
With one clawed finger he ripped the electric collar off his neck, receiving a shock from the wires as he did so. Once removed, he chucked it to the ground in disgust, and got up to gather his things.
Picking up the gun she had left on the counter he turned it over in his hands, wondering what he should do. He walked up to the girl and pointed the gun at her head. It would be so easy to kill her right now. He remembered what Miroku said about his too many killing sprees, but disregarded it, he could easily say he was provoked.
She was bothersome to him and aroused feelings inside that not even he understand. He had to rid himself of this nuisance and the feelings that, once buried deep within now flourished to the surface. He didn't want to be near her any more. He had to get rid of her.
Curling his hand tightly around the gun, he pulled the trigger.
