Gangster's Paradise

By: Asinine Addiction

AA: Okay, well here's the 7th chapter. This is best story I've ever written! Well, only because my other fics are like only a chapter long. Haha. But it is the best story I've ever written. Even beating my lost fics! So thanks for the reviewers you guys, I really appreciate it.

Oh yes, I think you guys should know this. My updating every few day will be slowed down to a few chapter every week or so. School is starting and I'll be bombarded with… geometry papers. Oh how I loathe math.

Disclaimer: I don't own the crew, only the plot.

Warning: Character may or will be OOC. References to drugs (smoking), alcohol, and gun use. & The gang part of the story will come in to view. Oh yeah, this chapter will be long.

Now read on reviewers, read on!

Surprise!

It was a week after the episode at the café. Kagome and Inuyasha have been meeting each other on a daily basis. Inuyasha was still having a hard time accepting that Kagome was a hood, but learned to deal with it. Kagome didn't see Inuyasha as much of a stranger anymore. Who knew that within a week's time, those two would be the most talked about couple on both sides of town. Though there were still many things those two didn't know about each other.

Kagome winced at the sunlight pouring from the half opened window in the living room. She let out a squeal when her eyes met with the sun, then got up from her bed… err, mattress. She looked at the time. It was 7:00 a.m., Friday morning. Kagome stretched then took a quick shower. 'It's-' she yawned, '-my birthday!' she thought sleepily as she got out of the shower, wrapping herself in a lilac towel. She went to her mother's room, where she kept her clothes, and picked out her outfit for the day.

She dressed in a tight, white collared shirt and with a black tank-top underneath, and a pair of black Dickies. She unbuttoned most of the buttons on her shirt to reveal the tank-top underneath. This wasn't at all slutty, for she didn't show any cleavage. Kagome rubber banded the ends of her pants so she wouldn't step and rip it. Kagome looked out the window of her mother's room; there was a light breeze. Kagome picked out a plain white hoodie then proceeded on to her makeup.

She wanted to look nice today, considering it was her 17th birthday. A little eye shadow, some mascara, and eyeliner were all she needed. Some lip gloss to make her lips look more luscious than it already was and her special touch, some natural, light pink lip gloss to make her lips look absolutely irresistible.

Kagome sighed and checked the time, yet again. It was now 7:35. She had about an hour until school started, so she decided to walk around the neighborhood. Kagome swiftly tied her hair up in a high ponytail, letting her bangs hang loose. She looked around for some trinkets she can put on. She found a necklace with her name on it and hoop earrings.

"Happy birthday to me!" Kagome gleefully said to herself as she stuffed her feet into an old pair of Chuck Taylors. She snatched her backpack along with her half-finished geometry homework and rushed out the door, remembering last minute to lock it. Kagome sighed and turned around to face the house across the street from hers – Banktosu's house.

He was in the same place, everyday, doing the same thing with the same people. On the porch step with Kagura and Jakotsu on the windowsill smoking a few cigarettes before the majority of them left for school.

"Kagome!" He called out standing up and stretching. Kagome waved to him then ran across the street, skillfully avoiding zooming cars, motorcycles, buses, and taxies.

Jakotsu got off of his windowsill for a moment when Kagome had reached the other end of the street. He came out of the front door holding a paper bag and something wrapped in toilet paper and a shoelace.

"Here Kagome." Jakotsu leaped on Kagome giving her a tight hug. "Happy birthday!"

"Thank you." Kagome said meekly with a smile on her face. She gracefully accepted the presents from Jakotsu. "The one wrapped in toilet paper in Bankotsu's." Jakotsu informed. Kagome smiled and sat down next to them.

"Oh yeah, Kagome," Kagura said. "I got you something this morning."

Kagura handed her a cupcake with 'Happy Birthday Kagome' messily written in icing, and coffee. "Thought I'd treat you to breakfast this morning."

"Aww thanks you guys!" Kagome said as she began to unwrap Bankostu's present. It was a silver locket with the letter 'K' engraved on the front. Next, Kagome opened up Jakotsu's present. Inside the paper bag was a jewelry box. It had three mirrors and it had a teddy bear dancing.

"How'd you guys get this?" Kagome asked in wonder.

"How else?" Kagura spoke for the two of them. "They jacked it off some store or something."

"It took a hell of a lot of waiting to get that too." Jakotsu remarked with a smile. Kagome put the locket on top of her necklace and went back home to put the jewelry box away. While at home, she checked the time, yet again. It was 7:45. Kagome made it a habit, now, to check the time every so often.

When Kagome came back outside, the whole crew was out there.

"Happy Birthday Kagome!" The all yelled from across the street. She smiled and ran back across the street. When she got there, she was overwhelmed with presents, and things from her friends – most of which were stolen or used. Kagome would've fell in the middle of the street carrying everything if Miroku and Koga hadn't helped her carry her things.

The trio were exiting Kagome's house when a red Ferrari pulled up to the curb. Everyone on Bankotsu's porch steps crowded around the nice car.

"Oh Kagome," Kagura called with a sly look, "your boy toy is here."

Kagome immediately turned 7 shades of red before Miroku gave her a little push. Koga was the first to confront him though.

"So, you're the guy Kagome's been seeing." Koga said eyeing him.

"Yeah, you got a problem?" Inuyasha asked raising an eyebrow. Koga pulled Kagome next to him and put his arm around her.

"You got guts to come by here alone." Koga commented.

"You're point would be…? Inuyasha said with the same look plastered on his face.

"Just don't hurt her." Koga said. "Or else me and Naraku will have to pop a-"

"Koga I think that's enough." Miroku cut in. "I think what he's trying to say is-"

"It's you!" Inuyasha growled. Miroku looked puzzled.

"Have we met?" He said putting his arm around Kagome.

Kagome pushed his arm off of her shoulder. "He's Sango's best friend."

"Sango, huh?" Miroku mused putting a finger on his chin. "Sounds familiar."

"Don't mind him, he's just an idiot." Kagome said glaring at Miroku while she hugged Inuyasha.

"Oh yeah, Happy Birthday." Inuyasha said giving Kagome a bouquet of flowers. "I didn't know what kind you liked, so I picked a few of my mother's favorites."

The bouquet consisted of Roses, Carnations, Lilies and a small Cherry Blossom in the middle of it all. Kagome's eyes widened. "H-How'd you get all these flowers in the middle of October?"

"I have… my ways." Inuyasha said winking at her. "I'll pick you up at 7 tonight?"

"Yeah, sure." Kagome said, still stunned at the flowers. Inuyasha hopped in his car and started the engine, only to find a drooling Jakotsu in the passenger seat.

"You're pretty cute." Jakotsu said batting his eyelashes.

"Umm, thanks?" Inuyasha said backing away a little bit.

"JAKOTSU!" Everyone yelled. Kagome walked up to him and grabbed him by his shirt.

"He's mine, back off, or you'll have to answer to Miroku and his Playboy magazines." Kagome threatened as he dragged him out of the car.

"NOO!" Jakotsu yelled. "No girls! How repulsive!"

Kagome cocked an eyebrow. "Girls? Repulsive? Since when do you think I'm repulsive?"

"Oh no Kagome!" Jakotsu took it back. "I didn't mean that, I just meant I don't like girls. NO! I mean…"

"Jakotsu, you're hopeless" Kagome rolled her eyes, and then turned to smile at Inuyasha. "Sorry about him, he's-" She glared back at him, "-kind of… well he's just kind of difficult."

"Whaddya mean difficult!" Jakotsu yelled from behind.

"I'm guessing you're late for school." Kagome waved. "I'll see you later then."

Inuyasha waved back and drove off. Kagome was blushing. Boy was she lucky to have a guy like that. And if Jakotsu has a thing for him, he must be a great guy. Kagome was lost in her thoughts until Kagura put a hand on her shoulder.

"Let's go Kagome." Kagura said. "You'll see your boy toy later."

"Would you stop calling him my boy toy!" An aggravated Kagome said as she brushed Kagura's hand off of her shoulder. "Now let's go."

"It may be her birthday, but no way will I take pity on some… street rat who makes a fool of me like that." Said a scheming Kikyo on the other side of town. "And she thinks she can go off with my man! How dare she. Inuyasha is just playing hard to get! He knows he wants me. He will be mi-"

"Umm, Kikyo, who are you talking to?" Sango asked as she casually passed by with her friend, Hiten.

"Yeah and what's with the 'Inuyasha will be mine' crap?" Hiten asked stifling a laugh. "He's going out with someone y'know?"

"NO! He's playing hard to get! He just wants me to feel JEALOUS!" Kikyo yelled. In return she received many stares and a few giggles.

-x-

"So Kagome…" A perverted looking Miroku asked Kagome. "…What will you and your… boy toy be doing tonight?"

That question received him two slap marks on his cheek. Both Kagura and Kagome had hit him.

"Not my boy toy." Kagome said through clenched teeth.

"I'm tired of your perverted antics." Kagura growled. "What a dirty mind! How dare you talk about our Kagome like that!"

"Kagura, I'm not a baby." Kagome said with an angered look. "I'm 17, remember."

"Ladies, violence is obviously unnecessary." Miroku said as his hand traveled to their cheeks (down south.)

Again, two severely bruised arms. Boy, can those two hit.

"Now can we please get to school so I can finish my Geometry homework!" Kagome pleaded and she picked up a semi-conscious Miroku. Kagura picked up the other half of Miroku – the bottom half. "You mean you didn't finish it yet?"

"Nope. And what a nice way to spend the first few hours of my birthday, being groped by my best friend then dragging him to school." Kagome said dropping the upper half causing him to his head on the pavement. "Let's just leave 'em here."

"Good idea." Kagura said dropping the other half. "Later perv."

"L-Ladies!" Miroku said crawling after them. "W-Wait! Have you no pity!"

"So, Kagome." Kagura said ignoring the fact Miroku had caught up to them, still crawling. "Does he know?"

"Know what?"

"Well he knows the fact you're a hood," Kagura began. "But does he know about… well the Shiki Tama?"

"Not to mention the other two." Miroku said finally getting up. "The Ookami and the Shichinintai."

"No…" Kagome said shakily. 'I just hope Kikyo doesn't find out.'

-x-

'Shiki Tama, eh?' Thought a young lady hiding behind the bushes. 'This'll get me a raise.'

The girl quickly dialed on her cell phone. "Hello… I'm sorry but this is important… yes it's about that street rat… her, the pervert and another chick were talking about something called the Shiki Tama… yes, I'll look it up… it probably is… okay bye." And with that she continued following the three.

"Inuyasha?" Sango asked as she walked to 2nd period with him. "How's that hood girl of yours?" She said with a hint of disgust.

"She's good." Inuyasha said blankly.

"She hasn't tried anything on you yet has she?" Sango asked rubbing shoulders with him.

"What?" Inuyasha stopped. "Where'd you get an idea like that!"

"Someone tipped me that she wasn't… pure anymore." Sango said with much disgust. She was never going to like hoods. Ever.

"I thought you didn't like Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked continuing to walk.

"Well you never know, she could actually be right for once." Sango commented with her arms folded across her chest.

"Hell will freeze over before she ever says the truth about someone other than herself." Inuyasha scoffed. "No, wait, scratch that, the log up Sesshomaru's butt will finally come out when that happens!"

"Whatever." Sango rolled her eyes. "Don't blame me if one of her friends shoot you." She said poking him with her index finger and thumb up resembling a gun.

The two managed to get to their 2nd period before their teacher got there.

"Really, Sango, do you have to hate every girl I go out with?" Inuyasha said. "First Yura, then Kikyo, now Kagome!"

"Ah, so that rat does have a name!" Sango said in fake triumph.

"Sango…" Inuyasha growled at her.

"Okay, I'll stop." Sango stifled a laugh. "But seriously, are you that desperate?"

"I am not desperate!" Inuyasha yelled right before the bell rang. Sango stuck her tongue out at him.

"This isn't over you… person, you!" Sango blew a raspberry at him.

"You know damn well you can't tell me what to do." Inuyasha muttered, sinking into his chair.

It was well after school when Kagome and Kagura dragged Miroku home after being beaten by some young lady on the street. When will he ever learn?

"Kagura what time is it?" Kagome said as she plopped down on Kagura's bed. They all decided to hang at her house before she had to leave.

"7:00" Kagura said rolling her eyes.

"What!" Kagome shot up eyes wider than her mouth and her face somehow scrunched up. "I'm late!"

"I'm kidding. It's 4:30" Kagura laughed. Miroku started laughing as well. The face Kagome made was priceless. In the midst of their laughter, Naraku and Kagura's little brother, Hakudoushi, barged through the door. Naraku was holding a handgun and Hakudoushi a handmade flamethrower.

"You guys either fight with us or hide." Naraku hastily warned. "They're here."

"What! When did they get here? Why are the here? Who's with them!" Kagome asked with fear in her eyes.

"Their cars just pulled up a little outsude our territory, Koga spotted them." Naraku said loading his gun.

"All 25 of them are here." Hakudoushi said. "Well that's what that idiot Koga told us."

"Of all days, why today." Miroku slapped his forehead. "Count me in. I just have to find something to fight with."

"Yeah, they fight with weapons." Kagura mused. "I guess I'll fight too."

Kagome didn't answer yet. Her anger was building up. "I'll bust their asses to hell. Count me in too."

"But Kagome…" Kagura said before being cut off.

"But Kagome nothing!" Kagome yelled. "My birthday is ruined with them showing their faces around here after what they've done!"

"Kagome your date." Miroku said. "You can't go having blood stains all over you, he'll get suspicious!"

Kagome held up a fist. "I need to blow off a little steam if you don't mind. Those bastards coming down here got me pissed off enough."

AA: Again, not the best place to end it, but I was blocked. Anyway, I probably won't post a new chapter until next week or so. Lucky for me, a fight usually breaks out first day of school. Wait, that's not lucky. Well it is if you consider my writing, but afterwards, I'm always a damn witness and they question me. Gahh! It's like being in an episode of Law & Order or something. Well thank you for reading and please review.

Next Chapter: Blood-Stained Shirts

Kagome is fighting? Who are they fighting? Why does Kagome have a deep hatred for them? And why on her birthday?
