Chapter 14
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the hand and exited the room. Kagome knew in her heart it was fruitless to stop Inuyasha. She just hoped that the blackmailing information wouldn't come out. She feared deep in her soul that Inuyasha would be furious at her for being such an idiot and would leave her. She hadn't realized how much she hated being alone these past ten years until Inuyasha had come into her life. Or back into her life as the case may be.
"Kagome?"
Her mind riveted back to the present, "Yes?", she asked.
"I didn't have time to call the limo. You've got the keys to your car, right?"
"Yea. But you're mad enough ...why don't we just fly there?", she huffed.
"I don't fly. I ain't Superman. I jump. And I don't want to draw attention to us. Will you please unlock the car door?"
"Why should I? Look, Jim isn't really a problem I can't handle. Just let me handle all this, Inuyasha. Please?!"
"NO! You're my wife and he thinks he owns you. I wanna know what else you haven't told me about the last ten years also, Kagome!"
"You know what's important, don't you? I was faithful, even though I didn't know who I was being faithful to. Please let it go, Inuyasha!"
"If you don't open this door right now, I'll tear the door right off the side and we'll drive it that way, DAMMIT!"
"You would too, wouldn't you? Fine!", she said, as she unlocked the car door and they climbed in, Inuyasha in the driver's seat. He peeled out of the parking place, leaving at least an inch of rubber on the ground. Kagome held on for dear life as he drove crazily through the city streets,
"Did you graduate from Road Rage Academy? You drive like an idiot!", she exclaimed, fear in her voice.
"Only when I'm pissed off, my dearest, only when I'm pissed off. Drive with Miroku sometime."
"Miroku? I thought you said he was dead?", she asked.
"We named a son after him. And a daughter after Sango. But none after Shippou. I refused to name one after the fox!"
Kagome groaned, "I'll never get used to all these names I have to remember. I hope they wear name tags!"
Inuyasha screeched the car to a halt in front of the newspaper building. Quick as a flash, he was out of the car and opening Kagome's door,
"Come, Koshii, NOW!", he ordered and she obeyed nervously.
They walked into the newspaper building and were greeted by the receptionist,
"Hello, may I help you?", she asked sweetly.
"Nope!", said Inuyasha, as he and Kagome walked straight into the newsroom,
"WAIT! YOU CAN'T JUST WALK IN THERE!", the receptionist yelled after them.
"I JUST DID!", Inuyasha yelled back at her as he headed straight for Ingram's desk,
"Diana! Hello, did you see the article ..."
WHAM!
Inuyasha's fist met Ingram's face as Ingram went flying across the newsroom,
"YOU BASTARD! THIS IS MY WIFE! YOU LEAVE YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF HER!", Inuyasha screamed, as a crowd gathered around.
Ingram was helped up by a couple of co-workers, his face bloodied, his nose (at least) broken,
"Why you ...", Ingram started after Inuyasha, who easily held him off with one hand. Grabbing Ingram's left arm, he twisted it behind Ingram's back as those around him heard a loud CRACK as his arm broke and Ingram screamed,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
"Inuyasha, please, don't hurt him anymore...", Kagome pleaded.
The sounds of police sirens filled the air and Inuyasha knew he had to flee or be arrested. Pulling Ingram closer to his body, Inuyasha whispered into his ear,
"I'll let you go for now. Follow Kagome to Canada and you'll fare far worse. Got it?"
Ingram nodded, fear in his eyes, as Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and he broke through a window and took to the sky, as the onlookers stared in amazement. As the cops entered, Ingram yelled,
"I want to file charges against Inuyasha Kateitenma for assault and battery. These people are my witnesses."
The one police officer asked,
"Where is he? Is he here? We didn't pass anybody leaving on the way in."
The onlookers simply pointed up in the air through the window as the cops looked on in amazement and disbelief.
