Chapter 21: Intruder!

Inuyasha stumbled out of the shower needing to find Kagome, knowing she was in danger, but not being able to because of the guards on his door.

If she was hurt because of Kikyo, of what he did, he would never forgive himself.

"Kagome." he cried out quietly standing above the sink holding the steel counter while it bent under his strength.

Kagome groaned and turned over hitting her head on something.

"Ow." she moaned in pain sitting up breathing hard. Her entire body felt as if it was just beaten with a ton of bricks. She couldn't see anything but she felt around. She was inside something lined with stone, smooth stone with barely a crack in between each one. The room was very small. It was obvious she had fallen down the well.

"The shock wave...must have..." she groaned as she stood up, leaning against a beam of wood for support.

She was actually the shock wave hadn't killed her. She looked down appreciating her vest even more.

She stumbled with the straps for a minute before she was able to slip it off getting some of the weight off her shoulders. She looked up but the lid was blocked with debris. Even as she squinted into the darkness trying to make something out she felt some small dust particles fall and hit her face.

"How do I...*cough cough*...get out?"

Sesshomaru flew down the road with a hysteric Sango in the back and a traumatized Miroku beside him.

He had his phone in his ear talking to Taro so fast that only the demon on the other end could understand him.

Taro was sending out calls for the fire department and police with the reports of a person on the land.

Sesshomaru desperately wanted to turn around but knew better. There could be more than one bomb. He might get hurt trying to get to Kagome. Or, as Sango was desperately trying not to believe, Kagome could already be dead.

He knew better. He knew it was best if they just continued on with the mission. If Kagome was alive....we'll the fire department and police were coming and they were better at rescuing people than Sesshomaru was.

Sango's eyes were wide in disbelief as she finally calmed down.

"Kagome." she whispered.

Miroku crawled into the backseat and held her to him.

"Kagome."

"I know, Sango. I know." He stared rocking her gently.

"What just happened?"

"Apparently Kagome was right to get her grandfather out of there." Miroku said gently.

"Where..." she looked around her confused. "Where are we going?"

"We're going through with the plan." Sesshomaru said his voice calm despite his inner turmoil.

"But, Kagome."

"We can't do anything for her."

"But what if she's still..."

"Then the fire department will find her." He interrupted. "And if she's not...there's nothing anyone can do for her anyway."

Sango fell silent.

"Kagome would want us to get Inuyasha free weather she is dead or alive, Sango." Sesshomaru continued.

Sango was still quiet.

"We're going to the beach and if either of you don't feel up to it, I can leave you right here."

"No!" Sango cried. "We're going! This is for Kagome!"

Miroku nodded his eyes just as fierce.

Sesshomaru returned the nod and sped up a little down the long stretch of road that led to the tarmac.

Inuyasha was buttoning his white shirt mindlessly as he thought about the women he loved.

What if she's....No! Don't think like that! She's alive she has to be!

But he couldn't shake the horrible feeling that made his hands shake and his muscles tense.

"Where is she?" He said to himself.

Taro was with the bomb squad despite their warnings as they headed up the shrine steps. No un-blown bomb was going to keep him from his daughter, particularly when the bomb might not even be real.

He ran around the chared remains of what was once a peaceful temple sniffing around for her.

Where is she? I can't get her scent! He tried harder sniffing everywhere.

Even if she had been blown up a trace of her scent should have remained. Where was it?

"No." he whispered. He had forgotten about X9-0. Izayoi had covered her in it.

"How will I find her?" he turned in helpless circles.

Kagome was feeling along the walls as far up as she could reach.

"There has...*grunt*...to be...*Cough*...something."

She had been down there for a while and she didn't feel like her oxygen was running up so there was an opening to the outside somewhere up there, if she could only get there.

She felt something tickle the tips of her fingers in a corner.

Kagome jumped up and felt it.

"A rope!" she got excited. "If I can grab that, I can get out. If it can hold my weight." she added dubiously.

She jumped again and grabbed the end with both hands while she placed her feet on the walls.

"Well, it's not falling." she said as she yanked a couple of times.

She struggled to put one hand in front of the other as she pulled herself slowly and painfully up.

Just when she got her feet level with the botom of the rope, she slipped down a few feet.

"Damn it!" she said as she tried again.

Sesshomaru turned the SUV off road and into the small woods that was behind the house by about a mile.

Sango had never looked more determined as she held on while he cruised over bumps and got the paint scratched by random tree limbs.

Miroku was holding her hand looking dark and troubled. An expression out of place on his face.

Finally Sesshomaru stopped and killed the engine.

"We go on foot from here. Any closer and they'll here the engine." he stepped out to find Sango already walked toward the tarmac.

He went after her with Miroku a step behind him.

They went through the trees, quiet as a thought after all their training. Their shoes didn't make a sound, they never said a word, and they hardly rustled a leaf.

Sango came upon an opening to the back of the house first and put up the 'Stop' signal.

Sesshomaru came around and hid behind another tree and looked across the wide expanse of tall grass and sand between them and the back of the house.

There was one guard on the porch but Sesshomaru took a deep breath and held up three fingers.

There were two more out of sight.

Miroku nodded and crept down on all fours as he snuck through the grass. As he moved the grass out of the way it looked as if the wind was moving them gently aside.

But Miroku had to move slow for this to happen. So Sesshomaru and Sango were stuck waiting, Sango impatiently, for him to reach the back of the porch.

Sango held up the hand signal for 'demon'.

Sesshomaru shook his head negative.

They suddenly saw Miroku as he went to the side of the porch and when the guard turned his head he jumped up and hit him across his temple with a rock.

Without a second thought he ran inside to where the kitchen was.

Sango held her breath as she waited wondering if it should take this long when he opened the back door and motioned for the to come.

They ran in a crouch through the grass and up the porch.

Inside the two men were both unconscious. one still seated at the table, the other next to the door.

Sesshomaru sniffed at the door that led to the living room and held up two fingers.

Without another sign he ran inside and was back in seconds with the safety signal.

The two men here were still both seated on the couch with the TV still running.

Sango held up the sign for 'wait' and they sat down looking out the windows without those outside being able to see them.

Inuyasha was placing another fake flower in his button hole as some cold faced hair dresser pulled his hair into a tail at the nape of his neck.

He looked down at his watch.

Just an hour left.

Midori was silent with trauma as gramps revealed what had happened. He may have been going a little senile but Kagome was his granddaughter and he was still worried.

"Oh no." Izayoi said dropping down into the couch. "I wondered...when Taro left but...Oh Kagome."

Midori started shaking as the reality of what happened started to sink in on her.

"My...baby...my baby. NO!" she through herself face down on the couch and started bawling her eyes out.

"MY BABY!"

The lip of the well was ruined. Kagome found out when she climbed unsteadily out and the wood shattered beneath her weight.

She lay there breathing heavily for a moment before she opened her eyes.

The well house was in shambles, that was clear through what little she could see.

"A light!" she exclaimed tiredly as she saw a tiny beacon on the other side of the well house.

"Kagome!" someone yelled.

"What?" she shook her head.

"Kagome!" the voice was closer.

"Dad?"

"KAGOME!"

"DAD!" she yelled crawling toward the tiny light.

"Kagome!" she heard rustling of wood as he found her voice. "Kagome where are you!"

"Daddy!" she screamed as her tired hands went to work on the small opening.

She heard a crash as a huge beam was moved out of the way and suddenly the light was huge. Hands reached in and dragged her out and before she knew it, Taro was hugging her as he ran down the steps to the waiting ambulance.

"Here." he gave her to the waiting paramedics.

"Dad, Inuyasha!" she reminded him.

"Just worry about getting better, Kagome."

"But..."

"Everything will be fine."

"The wedding."

"Sango and them have it covered."

Kagome tried not to fidget as someone checked her pulse and her throat. "Here drink this." a nice lady said handing her a bottle of water.

Kagome grabbed it and downed it not realizing how thirsty she was.

"Inuyasha?" she asked when she finished.

"The wedding should be starting soon." Taro admitted reluctantly.

"What!" Kagome shouted standing up.

"Calm down." Taro said

But it was too late. Kagome had turned and was running up the street.

"Kagome!" Taro yelled starting to run after her. But she was fast and he lost her in the crowds and without his sense of smell he would never find her.

"Kagome!" He yelled turning in the crowded streets.

The plane came skidding down the tarmac while the guards assembled.

15 of which had guns.

Sango nodded and they slipped out, much better hidden in the setting sun.

They crawled through a small jungle of gas trucks, airplane parts and tools, and people to busy watching the plane to see them.

The plane skidded to a stop and the stairs came out.

"Get this thing fueled up and back in the air quick." A fat guy ordered walking down the steps.

The crew ran to the plane and hooked up the fuel hose.

Sesshomaru led them as they ran around to the other side of the plane and hid behind it's tires.

Sesshomaru jumped and dug his claws into the metal at the side of the plane no one was watching. As quiet as he could he carved out a large hole with his claws and pushed the metal inside.

He dropped back down and grabbed Miroku, then jumped up and put him inside. He repeated the process with Sango and when they were all in, he lifted the heavy metal sheet and fit it back into place.

As long as no one looked to close they would never notice. Until the plane tried to fly.

Miroku ran to the back of the small plane opening doors as he went before he found one that was locked. He motioned Sango over.

She came with lock picks and made short work of it.

The three escaped inside and Sesshomaru locked the door then stood next to it, claws extended to stop anyone if they came in.

Miroku inserted to disk that Shippo gave him into the computer and started typing.

A password box appeared and was quickly filled and disappeared again. Shippo had installed that program onto the disk, along with a locater program.

The second they were in the locater program, working with Shippo's earlier planted virus, downloaded the files.

Then their luck ran out.

"Intruder!"
