Life's Lemons
Chapter 7
Sango reached out to try to catch Kagome's body from hitting the cold tile too harshly. Sango stared wide eyed at her. "You shot her!" She screeched. She applied pressure to Kagome's right shoulder. Fear clawed at her heart in panic as she watched her friend screw her face up in pain.
"Believe me now? Now get out or so help me I will shoot her again, this time making sure she never breathes the same air as I do." Sango glanced at Kikyo then back to Kagome.
"Kagome I am so sorry. I- I didn't think she would do it." She lowered her tone to a light but firm whisper. "I don't want you to die, Stay here while I go get InuYasha and Miroku…" Kagome winced in pain but nodded. She stood up and faced the cold hearted bitch that shot her new friend. She sent her a cold glare as she hastily pulled the door back. She gave Kagome one more sorrowful glance and slammed the door in her wake. She ran down the hallway, stopping only to take off her high heels. She threw them to the side and ran back into the dining hall.
Meanwhile:
Kagome held her shoulder as she drew her knees up to her chest. Kikyo locked the door once again and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed a number rather quickly. "Hurry up. I've got her." She flipped it shut and stared coldly at the girl. "Bitch, if I could kill you, I would. But that wouldn't make the boss too happy. And if I want my money, he has to see you alive first."
"Why are you doing this? What did I ever do to you? I don't even know you!" Kagome screamed from the floor. Kikyo unlocked the door after she heard an echo in the hallway of an opening door way. Kagome clutched her shoulder as Kikyo came within inches of her face.
"You stole everything from me. I was so close. I could have been Mrs. Popular-" The door swing open cutting her off as two men came in. They picked up Kagome rather harshly and clamped a hand over her mouth as an arm snaked around her waist holding her still. Her body protested the movement as her shoulder throbbed in pain. "-and you stole it all bitch, with one. stupid. song. I am going to make InuYasha pay."
Sango reached the table in record time.
"No. The Packers made 4 touchdowns with 3 interceptions."
"I assure you, they made 3 touch-"
"InuYasha…Kagome…help…" She managed out between breaths, "Kagome… needs help."
Both looked at her as if she were crazy.
"Hurry up!"
Miroku quickly caught a glimpse of her hands as they kneaded the white table cloth in frustration. They had flecks of blood, or what appeared to be blood, on the top of them. As she let go of the once white cloth, he could see blood smearing over the wrinkled linen and her palms.
InuYasha stood up, his brows furled in confusion. "What do you mean needs help?" he asked suspiciously.
"Some…woman shot her…in the bathroom."
"What?" InuYasha and Miroku both shouted. InuYasha stood shocked at the new information before he shot past her and bolted towards the door.
Miroku also stood motionless as the information sunk in. As soon as it registered they both ran after him.
Miroku and Sango chased after him as soon as he took off from the table. As InuYasha rounded one of the corners, Miroku grabbed Sango's hand to speed her up. InuYasha slammed up against the bathroom door, forcing it open. He glanced around frantically but found no one in it. He snarled when he found it empty and a couple of good sized puddles of Kagome's blood that littered the floor. He noticed the tile on the wall had blood on it as well. It didn't take a genius to figure out that Kagome would be in serious trouble if she wasn't treated. She had lost a significant amount of blood and the tile proved that. He also didn't find the bullet, which meant it was probably still embedded in her body and would become infected.
Miroku was the first one in the bathroom, followed by Sango. InuYasha had turned around and was walking out the door when he knocked down the other two. He headed back down the hallway walking quickly. He was trying to think what had caused someone to shoot Kagome.
"She gone?" Sango asked as she stood back up on her feet to glance in the bathroom.
"What the fuck do you think, damn it? What? Am I just gonna leave her shot, bleeding and helpless in the fucking bathroom while I go get a drink?" InuYasha shouted, not really meaning what he said. He was so irritated that not only was his wife gone, but he had no leads to go off of. Not one.
"InuYasha, calm down, she just asked." Miroku butted in taking Sango's defense.
"Sango," InuYasha asked taking a breath, "What do you know? Please -God- tell me you know something."
Sango took a deep breath as well and answered his question as detailed as she could.
"She got shot in the shoulder, and the woman that shot her was in the bathroom waiting for us to get in there. She told me to get out and locked the door. And then we're here."
"Didn't you get a name or something? Where they're taking her?" Miroku questioned her.
"Uh… her name? Umm, Kikyo something or other, I think."
"Kikyo?" InuYasha asked. "Do you know a Kikyo, Miroku?"
"No…don't you?" he asked back. Then it hit them like a ton of bricks. At the same time, they turned to each other with an answer.
"HIGH SCHOOL!"
"Huh?" Sango looked between them as they practically finished each other's sentences.
"She was the slut,"
"that sat behind you in Chemistry. She was the one who was in love with you."
"I know, What would she want with Kagome?"
"That night at the bar,"
"When I met Kagome."
"She was pissed."
"tell me about it."
"WOULD YOU TWO TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" Sango blatantly interrupted. "I would like in on this if it's all the same to you. Kagome's out there somewhere while you two bakas are reminiscing about high school!"
"I don't have time for this," InuYasha took off down the hallway once more.
"InuYasha! Wait! Let's look together!" Miroku tried shouting behind him, but his words fell on deaf ears. "Come on, Sango. I'm sure InuYasha will eventually be out side." he grabbed her hand once more as they rushed out an emergency exit.
.o0o0o0o.
"Hey Kouga?" Ayame asked as he spun her around in a small circle.
"What?" He asked as he dipped her body down, just to twirl her back up.
"Have you seen Kagome or InuYasha lately?"
Kouga stopped dancing and looked around, wondering where his good for nothing neighbor was.
"No clue." He said as he started back up again. "It's his party, he could be anywhere…He's probably out chasing that little brat taking the invitations for biting his finger."
"Well," she sighed with a smile, "He better start getting used to it."
"Getting used to what?" Kouga asked.
"Children " she replied.
"Why?" he pondered a little on the dim side.
"Never mind dear," She tugged on his arm to get him to start moving another direction once more.
.o0o0o0o.
Kikyo sat across from Kagome as her attitude changed completely from when she was in the bathroom. "You wait till my InuYasha hears about this. He will come for me I hope you know. And when he does, I want to watch him kick both of your asses." She glared at the two men on either side of her. "And as for you," she stared Kikyo straight in the face, her eyes unwavering. 'she can't kill me right? I mean if her boss wants me alive, then she definitely can't kill me…' "I don't like you. I really don't. What did I ever physically do to you? Huh? Cause I don't even know who you are."
Having heard enough, the man on her left pulled out a rag and a bottle. He opened the cap while Kagome watched him suspiciously. He poured some of the bottle's contents onto the rag and covered her mouth and nose with it. She struggled as he held her still. She knew what was on there and tried not to breathe, but eventually, the need for air was insatiable and she took a deep breath. She inhaled the chloroform and passed out immediately.
"Thank God. A whiney little brat isn't she?" Kikyo mused as she pulled a small brown vial out of her purse with a needle. The bottle was ¾ full with a clear liquid. She filled it as far as it would go, and injected it into Kagome's limp arm.
"Be sure her shoulder doesn't touch the seats. I don't want blood everywhere. Especially hers," Kikyo said as she leaned back into the seats. "Did you get the paper work out of the doctor's office like I asked?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Good. I should hope so. I bent over backwards for two invitations to get him out of his office early." She held out her hand expectantly, as he pulled it out of a bag and handed it to her. She smiled as she read 'Kagome Takahashi' on the manila envelope. She opened it and flipped through all of her medical records. She flipped towards the back where any recent documents would have been placed. She pulled out a packet of papers and threw the folder on the seat across from her.
"Hmmm…" She mused. "Quite interesting."
"May we be inclined to know as well, Miss Kikyo?" one of them asked. She didn't reply for a while, as they thought maybe her sustained silence meant 'No'. She put down the papers and looked at them. "Mrs. Kagome Takahashi is with child." All three of them glanced at the girl who lay unconscious on the seat. "Apparently, she's 2 months along now."
"She doesn't even look pregnant yet." One of the guards mused stupidly.
Kikyo leaned over and felt Kagome's taught belly.
"Well, the pressure on her abdomen says yes, and the papers confirm it." Kikyo once again leaned back in her seat, an evil smile played across her lips. "Make sure you're extra careful…we wouldn't want anything to… accidentally… hit her in the stomach." they caught her malicious meaning behind her words and leaned back as well.
"Why don't we just kill her and the bastard baby now boss?"
"Because, idiot, my boss wants to see her alive. After he gives me my money, I'll kill him and the little whore. Then I'll have InuYasha all to myself. I will make him suffer the loss of not having some one he loves, love him in return. Then, after he has gotten over Kagome, I'll be there to comfort him." With that happy thought she sighed contentedly and stared out the window.
The two body guards stared at each other both thinking the same thing, 'Does she really think InuYasha will love her after she murders his wife?' They both sighed and turned back to Kikyo, contentedly staring out the window.
End of chappie 7!
PLEASE READ, PRETTY PLEASE!
Hallo! Does everyone feel better now that they know Kagome is safe?... for now at least? : ) Good! Then, on with my predicament: I would like to write a story where Miroku is a techie nerd and builds..robots-for lack of a better word. [they arent really robots, well, lol, they are. but they look like normal human beings.] I wanted him to make them feminine- of course-[c'mon.. its Miroku here.. ] : ) but if say, 2 certain people [cough InuYasha and Miroku cough cough] were to fall in love with these feminine robots, i wouldnt want to end the story with humans living out the remainder of their days with female robots that arent going to age.. Does anybody have some sort of explanation as to how they could become human with out it sounding lame and cheezy? I mean, I know its my story and if I wanted a fairy to pop out of InuYasha's butt and turn them human, that could happen. lol. But, if i could find someway to turn them human with out the story sounding sooo far fetched, that might be my next novel..[among others.. lol] If you could email me, pm me, or even put a suggestion in a review, i would be most grateful. : ) the suggestee will of course recieve full credit for their idea and it will be noted as such. : ) thanks so much! Now! Onto the reviews!
Grabs InuYasha walking down the hallway

Miroku's laughing and pointing in his direction
"I was just kidding. If I say Miroku had it, would you atleast pass out the goodies at the end?"
InuYasha smiles evilly in Miroku's direction. Miroku's face drops all emotion and he becomes silent
