How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less
Chapter Twenty-One
Desperation
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Inu-Yasha! The pacing isn't helping! Sit down! You're making the rest of us nervous!" Sango ordered Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha glared at her and sat down.
Five seconds later he leapt from his seat again.
"I gotta go to my brother's house! I can take him!" he started to walk out the door when Sango stopped him.
"And what are you going to do when you get there? Run in and demand her be returned! You're brother could have you arrested! Then you'd be at his mercy... which I'm sure he has none."
"But we can't just sit here!!! I gotta help her! It's all my fault!!!! It's my fault she's in this mess!!! Both of you know the story!!! Both of you know what's going on!!!! How can you sit there and tell me to stay put!!! What if she's dead before we get there?!" Inu-Yasha stormed at Sango and Miroku.
"Hey!" Miroku decided to say. "If there using her for blackmail, they won't kill her. She's more valuable alive."
Inu-Yasha glared at him and sarcastically said, "Oh! That makes me feel so much better!!"
"We have to do something! But we can't just charge in. Maybe we could meet Sesshoumauru at his house. That would do better than cause a scene," Sango proposed, hopefully. "Then we can talk to him directly."
"FINE!!! LET'S GO THEN!!!" Inu-Yasha dashed out of the door, Miroku and Sango at his heels. Inu-Yasha had finely got Sango to decide on a plan she'd liked. It had taken a while for her to think up something reasonable, but she was right. Anything that he was to think up would probably get him arrested. Not the he cared though. As long as Kagome was safe, he could handle the consequences that came with murdering a man. He'd dreamt up plenty of good ways murder his dear brother, Sesshoumauru, and Naraku too.
He sighed, and continued towards his motorcycle. He leapt on to it and sped at top speed down the roads that led to Sesshoumauru's elegant mansion. He would kill himself if anything had happened to Kagome. He should've been able to pick up their scents, but he was too wrapped up in dreams to do that. He sighed again.
He flipped off a car that had almost made him roadkill. 'Stupid people!' he thought as he swerved in front of a car making it screech to a halt. 'They don't have any clue how to drive!'
Miroku finally caught up to him and was zooming along beside him. He could see Sango behind him screaming at him to be careful. Miroku merely grinned and went faster. Inu-Yasha would have laughed had it happened any other time, but being as it wasn't, he decided to get them back on track.
"GET YOUR BUTTS IN GEAR!! STOP GOOFING OFF! KAGOME'S IN DANGER!!! "
The couple stopped and gaped at him. His eyes were glued to the road, but there was an unspoken threat glistening in those eyes.The two returned to the solemn mood that they had been in all morning. It was a good idea, they decided, to take his advice for once.
It was not long before they reached the mansion. It was a grand house with large pillars, a large porch, and a small garden. The gate was large and intricate with the name 'Mamouru' twisted into the metal. Inu-Yasha leapt easily over the gate and was already strutting across the grounds when he realized that Miroku and Sango wasn't behind him. He looked back to see them struggling to open an apparently locked gate. 'Oh well,' Inu-Yasha sighed mentally. 'It's probably better for them to wait out here anyways. I already have a good clue about what going on. I've already gotten Kagome involved; I don't want them involved too.'
So he strode off, leaving Miroku and Sango to their fruitless attempts at opening the gate. He knocked harshly at the door when an ugly, green toad- man opened the door.
"Inu-Yasha!" the little man hissed.
"Jaken!" he hissed back. "I need to speak with my brother. Where is he?"
"Oh yes," Jaken smiled at this. "He's been waiting for you. He's in his study. Would you like me to lead you there?"
Inu-Yasha sneered at the tiny man. "Lead me then."
He followed the tiny youkai down the hall. It was lavishly furnished and was fit for royalty. It was the Mamouru name, a noble blood line, that furthered the feel of royalty throught the large house. Many paintings hung the walls, each depicting a different high-ranked Mamouru youkai. Inu-Yasha knew that he'd never find his face on these walls. He was a disgrace to the family. He also knew that he'd never find his face on the walls of any of the other Mamouru mansions. It hurt him to admit it, but he wished he was welcome in these walls. Not because of the luxury of it, but he wanted so badly to be part of a family. His family had never wanted him; his father had loved him. He knew this because of his mother and his youkai relatives. They thought it a crime that his father had not only had a half- human son, but he had loved that son as well.
He shook himself from his thoughts. It wouldn't do to dwell on them especially when Kagome was in trouble. He had to make her his first priority and not have pesky thoughts of family getting in the way.
Inu-Yasha found himself in front of a large, ornate door. He could hear a girl's laugh from within; a voice he didn't recognize. It was this that intriqued him the most. Sesshoumauru had never been the type to have company. If he had a business meeting with a client, he would take them to a small cafe. He most certainly never brought them into his home. You should always keep business and personnal things seperate as to not confuse the two; it was what Sesshoumauru had often been known to say.
Inu-Yasha stood shocked when the door finally opened. There, in Sesshoumauru's lap, was a small child. A small, HUMAN child. He could only gape as the small girl giggled and played with Sesshoumauru's tail. ((A/N- Does anyone know what that thing is? If it's not a tail, it's a boa. I find the theory that it's a tail much more amusing so that's what Sessy-chan is gonna have.))
"Me'lord!" Jaken announced. "Your brother is here."
Sesshoumauru looked up as the small girl giggled and pulled his tail. "Oh, dear brother. You've arrived." He smirked. "You would be here asking for your human wench, would you not. A very odd little wench she is."
"You have no room to speak of odd human wenches, Sesshoumauru," he snarled, motioning to the child.
Sesshoumauru gazed at him with those stoic eyes before looking down at the girl. "Rin is somewhat odd. It is what I find amusing about her."
This didn't offend the girl in the slightest. In fact, she was quite thrilled.
"YAY!" Rin giggled. "I'm amusing!!"
Inu-Yasha found again that he could do nothing but gape at his older sibling. He blinked several times as if trying to will the girl away. She still sat there when he opened his eyes, however.
Rin then decided to turn her attentions to Inu-Yasha. She hopped jovially out of Sesshoumauru's arms and bounced across the parlor. Sesshoumauru watched with slight dismay as she tugged on his younger brother's tight leather pants. It was then that she spread her arms out in the universal sign that meant 'Pick me up.' Inu-Yasha, still in a daze, leaned down and lifted the girl carefully as though she were planning an attack. Then again, he wouldn't put that past his older brother.
He felt her squirm slightly in his arms. She squealed happily and tugged his ears.
"KAWAII!!!!" she giggled as she watched his ears swivel away from her touch and her voice. Inu-Yasha yelped and jerked in surprise.
He then proceeded to set the girl down careful not to jostle her too much. He admitted to himself that he would have wanted to throw her down for tugging his ears and for being around Sesshoumauru, but she was just a child and didn't know better. That and if he hurt Sesshoumauru's human girl, he might hurt his. The last thing he needed is for Sesshoumauru to get mad and hurt Kagome.
The girl pouted slightly at being put down but quickly recovered. She was almost instanly back on Sesshoumauru's lap.
"So, that's your brother. I thought you said he was a half- dead disgrace."
Sesshoumauru chuckled. "Half- bred disgrace. Bred not dead. But," he looked down at the girl. "If you wish that he be half- dead, I wouldn't be opposed. It might actually help me get what I want."
Rin crinkled her nose. "I think he's cute! I like his ears. They're prettiful!"
Sesshoumauru paled past his normal shade of white but quickly regained his composure. "Could you please leave, Rin. My brother and I must speak about adult matters."
Rin pouted again. "Okay...as long as I don't have to play with Jaken. Can you make him stay away? He scares me."
"Yes, I'll make him stay away. Now, go up to your room and play." Sesshoumauru watched her leave and then addressed Jaken. "Jaken! Go down take care of something. Take out the trash or scrub a toilet. Stay away from Rin though. You know the penalties for disobedience.
"Yes, Me'lord! I do know!" the small man squeaked from the doorway he'd never fully entered and practically ran away from them.
Sesshoumauru motioned to a chair and smirked lightly.
Inu-Yasha complied and plopped down in a chair. "Housing humans now, are you?" Inu-Yasha sneered.
"That, my dear brother, is none of your business. I believe it is the other girl that I have recently..." he paused, searching for the correct word. "... acquired."
Inu-Yasha snorted. "Yes, I want you to give her back now. Why you would want her in the first place is beyond me."
Sesshoumauru still smirked at him. "You know exactly why I want the girl. You know exactly what I want. I will not release the girl until you give me what I want."
"Damn it, Sesshoumauru! Where is she?! I want to see that she's alive and well!! I want to see her right now!!!"
"I'm afraid she's not here. She is under Naraku's care at this moment."
Inu-Yasha's eyes widened. "You have that bastard taking care of her!!!!! I want you to take me to her now!!"
Sesshoumauru smirked at him. "You're upset."
"Upset? UPSET?! I'm way more than upset!!!"
"Well, I assure you that she's very healthy. Naraku wouldn't hurt her unless he got my permission."
"And that's supposed to assure me how?!" Inu-Yasha thundered.
Sesshoumauru merely dismissed him with a wave of his hand. "If you insist upon seeing her, follow me. I'll take you to her."
Inu-Yasha perked up at that. He followed him eagerly. Finally he was getting somewhere. 'Then again, this is probably a friggin' ploy,' he thought resolutely. Everything else seemed to be.
He followed Sesshoumauru down a long hallway, drifting in his thoughts. He didn't notice that all the doors seemed to be pad-locked shut, and he didn't notice the colored gas seeping into the hallway behind him as he didn't have eyes in the back of his head. When he finally caught a slight scent of the gas, he whirled around to see it shifting through the room. He turned again and braced himself to shout at his older brother, but he only saw the slightest of glimpses of Sesshoumauru's back as the door at the end of the hall snapped shut with a defiant 'click!'
By the time Inu-Yasha had comprehended what was going on, he was already falling into unconsciousness due to the gases around him. He struggled futilely against the doors in a drunken-like state. His last coherent thought before he fell completely to the floor was 'Kagome! I've... failed ...her... again...'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome slowly awakened from her hazy sleep and began to try to sit up. This attempt was stopped short. Her mind didn't seem to want to agree with what her body was telling her, and she tried to rise several more times before she was awake enough to realize something was wrong. It was then that her eyes popped open, and she jolted forward with as much power as she possessed. This too, however, appeared to be fruitless. She started to hyperventalate at about this time. Her breathing sped up quite considerably, and she began to cry out for help. It was not a friendly voice she was prepared to hear though. It was a cold, bone-chilling voice.
"That won't help you, little girl."
She immediately recognized the voice. Naraku.
Kagome let out a noise of surprise, but his voice at least brought her out of her stupor. She examined the room and her bondage. The room was prestine and white. It looked very much like a hospital room except of course the bed she was strapped to. Her wrists were shackled as were her legs and her waist.
"What...what...do you...want..?" she asked, still very deep in shock.
"You know what I want, little Kagome. I want the Shikon no tama. You have it. I know you do. I can feel it. Where is it? It wasn't in your room, and it isn't on your personage," the cold voice echoed dangerously around the room.
"Huh?" Kagome asked, her brow knitting together. "I've never owned anything by such a name."
"Oh, but you do. I think you don't know about it because it's in you," Naraku said as he walked from somewhere in the room though she really couldn't see from where. It was then she nearly jumped out of her skin.
A chilling hand grasped her side just above the top of her pajama bottoms. The ice cold fingers caressed the spot.
"Yes," he chuckled softly. "There it is. I'm found it, you old fool. The Shikon no tama."
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" Kagome screeched. Naraku smirked and withdrew his hand.
"I won't touch you, little girl," he said, chuckling again. He motioned to someone in the room or just outside of the room for all Kagome could see. "But I can't promise that they won't."
It was then that she caught sight of several doctors, youkai and human alike, towering over her. They each supported their own scary-looking weapon. She began to squirm again as they tried to place a mask over her face. Gentle yet sinister vapors danced in her lungs as her eyes closed.
"Inu-Yasha! Inu-Yasha!" Kagome whimpered before her entire world fell into black.
A/N- Well, here's the next chappie. All-in-all I'd say it's more upsetting than the last. I sowwy about that. But have faith! This is Inu-Yasha and Kagome we're talking about. Don't get too upset with me.
Sakura Minomura is out.
