Twenty-five: Magic in the air...
I emerged from the trees to find Shippou sitting on the front steps. I had to smile to myself at how young Ship looked waiting there. The smile faded slowly, the lost look on his face made memories come back as clear as yesterday from when I found the runt. He was curled up next to his dead parents in their cold fox den. The kit was tiny, barely bigger then what a human seven-year old looks like. The den was on the edge of my father's land and I was sent out to check on raids rouge demons were launching along the borders. Unfortunately I had been two days behind the demons and it was two days too late.
"Watching the sun rise?" I asked getting closer to Shippou.
"Saw your car was home so was hoping to catch you before you snuck off again." Shippou replied no real bite to his words.
I sat down next to the kit. "What's up, Runt?", I knew the nickname would bug the young fox.
"Grrrr" Shippou replied but the sound stayed light in his throat never rumbling through his chest. "Not much just feeling a little on the outside I guess. Rin's with pup so I can't be too near her right now 'cause I'd rather not have your brother shred me to little pieces. You have Kagome now and are busy with the gang. I hate to sound whiny but not a lot for me to do."
His youth and boredom with modern life made me smirk, "Well, lucky for you, you're helping me today." I couldn't help but laugh as his eyes lit up. "Alright, kid, I'm gonna run in and grab some breakfast then we're off. Grab the bike from the garage."
Shippou jumped up and ran over to my car. Jumping in he fired it up and disappeared around the corner of the manor. A hundred years ago Shippou wouldn't have been considered such a kid and I could tell it bothered him from time to time.
Walking into the house all thoughts of Ship were replaced with thoughts of food. The place smelled like bacon and sausage, steak and potatoes, hash browns and eggs, and so much more. Yup, if there was any doubt before it could be laid to rest now. Rin was definitely carrying an Inu pup. Her appetite was going into over drive and would for the first demonic trimester. For the second demonic trimester she would begin nesting and nothing in the house would be safe. The last trimester well let's just say Sesshomaru is lucky she's human and won't be able to attack him the way she's going to want to.
I couldn't help it the thought of Sessh possibly cowering in front of his tiny mate was too funny not to laugh at. So when I walked into the dinning room laughing at myself Rin and Fluffy looked at me like I might be crazy.
"Don't worry about it." I told them stifling the myself. "I'm grabbing some food then heading back out. Ship's coming with me today, but he'll catch up with his school work, no worries." I grabbed a plate and filled it high with the different meats and eggs. Between me and Shippou it wouldn't last but a few seconds. I was having a hard time not devouring it right where I was.
"Inuyasha?" Rin called softly.
"Sorry, Rin." I said sheepishly turning to my sister-in-law. "How are you today?"
"I'm starving!" She said with a giggle. "But what I really wanted was to know about the arrangements for Kagome."
Shit! I hadn't thought about making different arrangements since Rin was pregnant now. "Well, I hadn't...I was gonna bring her here but I guess that's out now."
Rin smiled her all-knowing smile like she had seen this coming. "I thought you might have spaced out a bit." Told you, seen it coming. "I have had the staff prepare the older half of the manor. Security is the same for the entire house but I thought maybe you would want to tell her some of about you and your family."
I didn't know what to say. Rin was always thinking about other people and what they needed. I realized that even though I didn't understand it she and Sessh were just what each other needed. He was the calm to her storm of energy and she was the kind and compassionate to his cold and unfeeling.
Setting the plate I'd over stuffed on the table I turned to her and gave her a bow of appreciation. Rin smiled brightly at me she knew me and words didn't fucking get along, actions worked best. Then because I felt like it I turned and bowed to my brother. Total satisfaction was had when he choked a little on the food he was swallowing.
Outside around the side of the manor, Shippou was waiting next to Inuyasha's Harley Night Rod. He hated that by human standards he couldn't drive yet even though he was hundreds of years older than the teenage human, idiots they let behind a steering wheel. But the high demon council, made up of serving Lords including his adoptive uncle, decided how to compare demonic age with human age. It was mainly to humor the school systems and set standards for when males would take on responsibility for themselves.
He was still growling to himself about it when the smell of food came from around the corner cutting off the thoughts. Then he saw Inuyasha with a mountain of food stacked on a plate. It all smelled delicious and looked just as good. Inuyasha barely had time to set the plate down near the kit before Shippou dived in.
"Have you been skipping meals?" Inuyasha asked concerned about Shippou's massive appetite.
Shippou looked at Inuyasha and then back at the plate he had almost emptied in such a small amount of time. "Not a lot of them. I've been caught up in some leads I got on the demons who murdered my parents."
"WHAT!? And you're just now telling me?" Inuyasha shouted louder than needed as he grabbed some sausage off the plate.
Shippou shrugged like it was no big deal and shoved some eggs in his mouth. "You've been busy."
Inuyasha looked at the young fox who was now looking out over the grounds that stretched out from behind the garage.
Guess I'm just another drop out dad, huh. What was the point in saving the kit if I'm not helping him with what's most important to him...
We looked when it first happened, they had vanished. Shippou understands the responsibilities you have...
Doesn't make me feel better...
"So, what is this lead you found keeping you from eating?" Inuyasha asked before shoving bacon in his mouth.
"Well it's kinda strange actually." Shippou said pulling his smart phone from his pocket. "Like you already know finding information about crimes that match raids from over three hundred years ago hasn't been easy, but there has been a string of home invasions that fit the pattern." Shippou scrunched his face in thought as he looked at his phone. "Sort of."
"What do you mean sort of?" Inuyasha asked picking up the empty plate and setting it on a tool bench in the garage. He grabbed the black bandana he left there and tied it over his ears walking back to the kit.
"Even rouge demons seem to act different as the world changes. But I've been thinking that maybe these were never rouge, maybe they were just like humans who become serial killers. They go dormant, then go back on killing sprees. Because their demons I think they can be dormant for fifty years or more."
"Alright, so what has all that lead you to find?" Inuyasha asked impressed with all the work Shippou had put into the search.
"It'll be easier to show you at the club on the screens." He said with a smirk.
Inuyasha nodded to the kit, he knew what Shippou was doing. But he wasn't going to let Shippou slide on the information when they got there. Without another word they climbed on Inuyasha's bike and made their way through the busy streets of Tokyo. Inu weaved in and out of the different vehicles as if they were standing still. Shippou never flinched knowing if they wrecked either one of their bodies smashing into a car would do more damage to the cars than their actual bodies.
When they got to the club Inuyasha drove past the front of the place to check out what kinda cop activity they had going on there. Sure enough sitting in a dark blue Corolla was the ever annoying Detective Houjou. Inuyasha took Shippou around back so he could drop off the kit and park the bike.
"Go on in. I'll be there in a minute." Inu said to Shippou as he headed around the front of the club.
The good Detective must have expected him because he was out of his car and whoever his partner was had hidden around the corner. Of course Inuyasha could smell her but he'd go ahead and let them think they were getting away with hiding her.
"Mr. Taisho, it's a pleasure to see you out and about." Houjou began.
"Cut the shit." Inuyasha said plainly stopping in front of the Detective. "What do you want here? If you don't have a good reason then I will be contacting my lawyers and preparing the filing for harassment charges."
"Alright then, Inuyasha. I'm here to see how much activity you have been up to. There was some major activity in one of the shipping yards last night. Not to mention the activity that has happened at your club even though it's been closed since Ms. Higurashi was kidnapped." Akitoki said glaring at the hanyou in front of him.
"Keh!" Inuyasha said with a smirk. "I own a night club. Early in the week isn't exactly prime clubbing nights for the public. Costs more money to be open than to be closed. As for the activity here, well I'd give you all the details but it's a private party wanting things on a need to know basis and without a warrant you just don't need to know." Inuyasha turned to walk away but Houjou just had to get one more word in.
"How long until Ms. Higurashi is released? There are some questions I need to ask her in follow-up to her kidnapping." The Detective asked as professionally as he could.
A low growl emanated from the half demon in front of him causing him to stand a little straighter to make himself look taller. Slowly Inuyasha turned back to face the arrogant human.
"My mate's release is no concern of your's, but if she will see you then speak to her." Inu then pulled his cell out and called Shin.
The phone was barely able to ring twice before Shin answered. Inuyasha was glad he was quicker than he had been the last time.
"Yes, boss?" The young hanyou asked from the other side of the phone.
"How is she?" Inuyasha asked not caring that the detective could hear the concern in his voice.
"She seems nearly healed but since we spoke she has had the smell of sadness and confusion about her." Shin said hoping that his boss would not be upset with the information.
"I see. Well there is a police detective who will be coming to speak with her. It is her choice to see him or not. He will be there with in the hour. Only allow Detective Houjou in the room his partner can wait in the hall. You can keep her company." With that Inuyasha hung up the phone and pocketed it. "Well you heard me. If you aren't there on time the guards won't let you in."
Houjou stood there speechless as the hanyou walked off waving at the detective over his head.
"What the hell was that about?" The female detective asked walking back to the car in time to see the silver haired half-demon disappeared around the far corner.
Houjou sighed shaking his head, "If I knew what he was up to I wouldn't have to stake-out his club." The detectives climbed into the car closing the doors.
"Why don't you stake-out his home?" The woman asked. She unfolded the mirror on the visor and began adjusting her light brown hair.
"The last thing our department needs is a law suit involving the sons of the great Inu no Taisho. He did too much good for the city along with his son Sesshomaru. We would instantly become the bad guys looking for things without just cause." Akitoki explained as he drove off towards the hospital. Inuyasha knew he'd be pushing it to reach the hospital at this time of day with in the hour, but he wasn't about to give up his only chance to convince Ms. Higurashi that she needed to stay away from the ill-tempered club owner.
"So what is this woman to him that he called ahead to give permission for you to go in?" She asked hair finally readjusted in a tight bun at the back of her head.
Without realizing it his hands tightened around the steering wheel as he drive on, his usual cheery smile fading to a frown. "He's claimed her as a potential mate."
"Really? She must have some serious information for you to feel the need to stick your nose in that." Houjou looked at his partner out of the corner of his eye. She was younger than him by a couple of years and clearly human. Even though she was younger she had worked her way up quickly and did excellent work.
"It's not about sticking my nose in or not. It's about the job we have to do and getting it done even if demons are involved." Detective Houjou turned into the hospital parking lot with fifteen minutes to spare. He was curious as to whether or not the guards Inuyasha spoke of would allow him to stay until Ms. Higurashi dismissed him or would they kick him out at the end of the hour.
Both entered showing the nurse their badges and asking to be shown to Higurashi Kagome's room. The nurse held her finger up for them to wait and made a phone call before they were told the way to go. It didn't take long for them to get tired of the stares from the other demon patients they passed until they reached Ms. Higurashi's room which had three demons outside the door.
"Are you the detectives I was called about?" The smaller one with silver hair, somewhat like Inuyasha's, asked in a less than friendly voice.
Houjou and his partner looked at each other then at the two very tall imposing demons who were silent while the smaller one spoke as if he was in charge. Both officers knew that if the shorter one was in charge as a demon that meant he had skills the others didn't and that made them wary.
"Yes, Mr. Taisho called earlier to tell you of our coming, Mr.?" Detective Houjou said with his usual smile in place and hand extended.
Shin looked at the extended hand with a sneer before replying. "I'm not important enough for you to know my name. The Lady Kagome will see you." He said to Houjou before looking passed him to the women. "And only him." Looking back at Houjou he gave him a hard glare. "Detective, the Lady said she will talk to you as long as she wants and I'll be damned before I piss her off but you piss her off and you'll wish you were only damned." Shin turned and opened the door for the detective.
Akitoki looked in, there she was laying peacefully on her bed looking out of the window. "Am I to understand that Mr. Taisho is threatening me for upsetting his potential mates emotions?"
"Not at all, Detective Houjou. You are to understand that as one who is fond of the Lady Kagome I will personally act against my boss and make you pay. Then I will take whatever punishment my boss sees fit for my actions against an officer of the law." Shin smiled at both of the detectives showing off his fangs then he pulled the door closed behind the frazzled male.
"Charming help your boyfriend has there, Ms. Higurashi." He called as he walked closer to her bed.
She gave him a shy smile as her cheeks flushed for a moment. "I do believe that potential mate is more like human fiancé rather than a simple boyfriend. The men out there are just doing what they thinks is best to protect me that's all." The color faded from her cheeks but the smile stayed in place. "What can I help you with today, Detective Houjou?"
The smile he gave her was less than what it usually was and she hoped she didn't notice. "May I sit?" He motioned to the chair close to her bed.
"Oh, yes! I'm sorry how rude of me." Kagome said embarrassed by her lack of manners.
"You are in the hospital healing for a horrible abduction, I believe that is a fair reason for edict to slip." He said with a broad smile but she looked away sadly at the mention of why she was there.
"That's what this is about isn't it? You need to question me about the kidnapping." Kagome looked out of the window part of her wished Inuyasha was here to sit with her during this but part of her was glad if she was going to break down she didn't want him to see it.
"I am the lead detective for the district, Ms. Higurashi. It's my job, which your potential mate has made difficult by not allowing me to speak with you. Are you alright with the choice he's made for you?" Houjou's voice was full of the concern he felt for this woman.
"Inuyasha is only doing what he thinks is best for my safety. I was tortured this time detective. The only luck I had was that Inuyasha came for me. Without his demonic speed I would have died out there this time and my body would have been nothing but a charcoal memory." Kagome looked at the man in her room and allowed the pain to show in her eyes.
"I had been informed that you were in poor condition when you were brought here but-"
"Then you should understand that someone who wants me by his side for eternity would not allow any stressful interviews until I was healed enough to handle them. Like I said detective I was as good as dead."
Houjou nodded solemnly. It was clear that she would not change her mind about him unless he had proof showing Inuyasha as a bad guy who only does good for her. "Are you up to answering a few questions then about the abduction and rescue?" When Ms. Higurashi nodded the Detective smiled pulling out his trusty note-book and began.
Back at the club Kouga and Miroku arrived right as Shippou finished explaining his findings to Inuyasha about his parents murder followed by a lecture on not letting revenge get in the way of taking care of himself. Naturally Shippou had more come backs than he could count about how Inuyasha never let anything go and was constantly putting work before taking care of himself but because Shippou didn't have the same foot-in-mouth syndrome his adopted father had, he kept those thoughts to himself. Kouga on the other hand had heard enough of the lecture to let his own foot-in-mouth syndrome flare up.
"Who the fuck are you to tell the kit that shit? If revenge wasn't made to come first then what the hell are you doing here instead of at the hospital with the woman you want for a mate? She'll probably leave your muttly ass, she's too pretty for you anyways." Kouga said laughing in the doorway. Shippou swore he could see the wolf's foot getting closer and closer to his own mouth.
"Your one to talk you skinny fucking wolf! I heard Ayame, just how long did you leave her in those mountains waiting for you. Thirty years were only the most recent but you've been fucking running around down here for longer than that."
By this time both alpha personalities were in each other's face growling in a language Miroku couldn't understand. From the shock on Shippou's face ever few growls he was glad he couldn't.
"Wasn't there information from Sesshomaru that we needed to go over?" Shippou asked trying to draw their attention away from each other.
"Yes!" Inuyasha growled staring at Kouga.
"I'm not going to give, Mutt-face, but we do have work to do." Kouga said unmoving.
He was right and Inuyasha knew that. "Fine, we will finish this some other time."
Both canines blinked leaving no one as the superior. The three walked over to the screens and Inuyasha gave Shippou the information he had calculated to be added to the information Sesshomaru had obtained. It seemed like they had about a six block area to cover. Each of the leaders would have to float between three until the drop was discovered and then they would all converge to the one area.
Each block would be assigned a squad of four not counting the general, lieutenant, and major. The twenty-four needed would have to be full-blooded demons either from the wolf tribe of the inu clan. Miroku would be the only one with human blood other than Inuyasha and that was only because the monk could handle himself.
"We will set up at dark. It's hard to tell how soon after that any action will happen but I figure it'll be before ten." Inuyasha said the other three in the room nodded before dismissing themselves.
Kouga had twelve wolves he wanted to bring in on the mission leaving Inuyasha to decide on the twelve dogs that would go. Miroku was to head upstairs and supervise that the club was ready to go for the night. They would open two hours before dark so that every member involved would be seen mingling in the massive crowds that filled the club.
Inuyasha stayed in the basement talking with the different inu's that he had called in. As members of the Western Lands army they were informed about the risk Kagome would soon be in and the urgency their Lord had placed on this mission. Inuyasha saw no reason to speak of the jewel that lay in his future mate though some asked her importance. He told them that all he as their General and Sesshomaru as their Lord wanted them to know was that Naraku wanted something from her. Inuyasha reassured them that if the danger increased then they would be told more so they knew more of what to expect.
No surprise they were all willing to take on whatever for their Lord. Inuyasha never understood the loyalty inu's had to their Lords. His father had been well-loved and followed without question just as Sesshomaru was. In a way they did the same to Inuyasha but when he went on these missions he gave them the option to say no, that was something a Lord never gave. Inuyasha knew that he was glad Rin was with pup and that he would not have to take on the role of Lord. Holding a title and living the position would always be two different things.
By five the noise from the club was thumping in his ears. "Everyone go up mix, mingle, all drinks N/A until we get back. At eighteen hundred hours start filing out to your specific block in groups of two. The commanders and I will leave last under the assumption we are in a meeting in my office. We will float between you all until we find Naraku or his people, then those in the other groups will move to that block." The wolves and inu gathered agreed and left to join the crowd in the club.
Soon the basement was clear of everyone but Inuyasha and Shippou. Inu knew that the young fox wanted in on the action but this was not the mission for him. Then an idea came to him, with a quick text to Miroku the plan was moving.
"Ship, there is someone I want you to meet. Run a standard check on her as you talk. She may be able to help with your serial murder theory. So far she's been trustworthy." Shippou looked curiously at Inuyasha. His father hardly ever left him alone with someone new to the gang.
"I swear on all that is good, if you even look at my ass again, Miroku, I will scoop out your eyes with a dull spoon!" An angry female voice carried throughout the basement drawing Inuyasha and Shippou's attention to awkward couple heading their way.
"My dearest, Sango, why must you turn to such violence? I explained this morning that my hand is cursed and since you so vividly explained what would happen should I lose control of the curse all I have left is my eyes to caress you with." Miroku painted on his best smile as the furious woman turned to him slowly.
The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed in the suddenly silent basement.
Sango stood furious as she stared at the man in front of her. "I don't know what type of women you are use to, though I have an idea. But I'm going to tell you something and let's be perfectly clear. This body is mine and mine alone. Until I give you permission to caress it in any way you need to keep yourself to yourself. You work very closely with demons, I can find a perfectly acceptable reason to kill you and the slayer's will clear me."
Miroku gulped and Shippou looked fearfully at Inuyasha. This was the person he was about to leave him alone with! Was he nuts? She was clearly crazy.
"Do we have an understanding, monk?" She asked exaggerating his title. What she got in return was a silent nod and a slight bow. Sango felt sure she had won the war but what she didn't realize about Miroku was that he would fight tiny battles until he won the permission she demanded.
The clearing of a throat drew them to the audience they didn't realize they had. Miroku hung his head while Sango flushed from slight embarrassment.
"Well I'm glad no one else was here to see you get your balls handed to you, Miroku. You might have had trouble keeping the men in line other wise." Inuyasha said shaking his head.
"Handed to him? I'd say she just cut them off and jammed them down his throat!" The kit said beginning to laugh.
"Hey!" Miroku shouted clearly offended.
"Sorry about that, if I had realized there was a kid down here I'd have reined it in." Sango said still upset she had let Miroku get to her so badly.
"Who are you calling kid, lady? I've been around longer than you!" Shippou said with a growl.
Sango raised her eyebrows at the kit's reaction. It was not normal for kitsune to be so hostile without just cause. "Just because you've lived longer doesn't make you superior to me. For my race I reached adulthood years ago, for your race you are still a kid, well teenager. But that doesn't change anything, I am an adult to you so don't you growl at me like you're going to attack." Sango scolded. Then she realized this youngster was in the underground operations of a street gang. "What is he doing here, Inuyasha? He is to young to be a recruit, I know the rules the demon council set. Do his parents understand the consequences?" Sango noticed the kit lower his head and Miroku look away from the scene in front of him, but Inuyasha didn't flinch. He looked at the slayer dead on.
"As the newest member you need to know I'm in charge, don't question that. Second when it comes to Shippou there are exceptions to the council rules. He is a member of my family making him eligible to do whatever work I see fit for the family. His parents were murdered a long time ago but he has a new theory to work which is why you are down here. You are going to help." Inuyasha ruffled the kit's hair earning him a half-smile which he returned. "Let her watch the background check so she knows we know everything about her."
Sango paled a little but never lost her composer. "Don't you think a please is in order if you want me to help him?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
Inuyasha smirked at her like she told him a joke. Walking up to her he stood in front of the slayer measuring her resolve. "I gave you a chance to walk away but you didn't so now you are a member and you should learn quickly, I don't say please." Inuyasha walked over to Miroku and they began to walk towards the stairs, but before they left he called over his shoulder, "He's well-trained in Kitsune Magic, so play nice, Sango."
Miroku tried not to laugh. He knew Sango was furious but didn't have a good enough reason to snap at Inuyasha like she did him. The two made their way up the stairs with smirks on their faces. Stepping out on to the floor Miroku let his bloom into a gleeful grin while Inuyasha reined his in to the solemn face the people at the club were use to seeing.
There was a strange vibe in the club but Inuyasha and Miroku brushed it off as tension from the men about the mission. Slowly the time ticked on and Inuyasha became bored with the floor. There were women but none of them were his Kagome. Some sadly were those he had wasted time with over a year ago trying to drown Kagome out of his mind. They should have known they weren't special but you can't kill hope he figured.
"I'm going on to the office. Get Kouga in a bit and meet me there." Inuyasha said gruffly making his way to the office. Miroku agreed and went a different direction. Neither of them realized they were being watched by someone mixed deeply in the crowd.
Her dark blue eyes watched the two separate ways. Silently she followed the dark-haired man as he spoke and flirted with women in the crowd. Setting about the job she was given, each of the women who met the criteria given to her was marked as she kept her distance. Eventually the man with the beaded hand met up with a wolf demon and together they made their way back to where the hanyou had disappeared earlier. The men weren't her job so she didn't bother herself with trying to find where they went. Instead she turned her attention back to the women in the club and marking them without their knowledge.
The two commanders made their way into Inuyasha's office, where the dog demon had taken up his usual post watching out the wall of glass.
"Most of the men are gone." He said not looking at the two who walked in.
"We should be leaving soon too." Miroku said joining Inuyasha by the window.
"I'll leave first, I'm sure all my wolves are already out there." With that Kouga excused himself and entered the maze of hallways that would lead him silently out the back into the darkness.
After about five minutes Miroku decided that he would take the next leave. From a hidden compartment in the wall next to the door in the office he collected his golden staff, then he walked out the door leaving the same way Kouga had.
Inuyasha walked over to his desk. The Tessaiga rested there leaning against it. He couldn't shake the feeling that after tonight things were going to get worse, for the Soul Stealers, for the clan, for he and Kagome. Shaking those thoughts from his head he grabbed the old fang and set out the way the other two had gone.
Silently he took to the roof tops and ran off into the night.
The night seems heavy.
I agree. The night seems very heavy.
The closer he got to the area the men were at he figured out that the heaviness was magic. It had been a few decades since there had been magic so heavily felt near the district or anywhere close to the West's borders.
Inuyasha saw the first group of his men and approached quietly. He was seen but then he wasn't trying to hide from them. The inu demon closest handed him a com that he placed in his ear. After a few twitches his ear was as comfortable as it was going to be, he placed the mic on the collar of his shirt.
"Section one report." He whispered into the mic.
"Nothing. Do you feel that on the air though?" Kouga responded.
"We feel it here, but no action here either." Miroku's voice filled the mic.
"This has to have something to with Naraku or his people. See if the magic's strong point can be found." All the demons and one monk agreed before creeping out through the area in search for the strongest concentration of magic.
The night was dark and cloud covered. It seemed to just be how it was, like gloom had claimed the district and was never going to let it go. There were no street lights where they were even so the buildings around them seemed to make shadows in the darkness. Where windows once were was nothing but inky blackness that looked ready to swallow a being body and soul.
Inuyasha moved from one group of demons to the next as they all moved about in search for the magic.
"General," Miroku's voice sounded in his ear. "I think we have something here in section four."
"I'm coming to you." Inuyasha took off in the darkness towards the monk and one of his groups. If they had found the source he was sure they had found Naraku's deal.
A/N: Sorry had to cut it here it was getting really long and the fight for the weapons needs to be long. I know I write a lot of little nothing but that's life right? Lots of little things that get us from one place to the next. Thanks for reading please review!
