Sorry that this wasn't up yesterday guys. I was busy with life as usual. Also sorry this is up later than what I normally put them.
Anyway, here is Renegade Chapter 37!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my stories
~Chapter 37~
Inuyasha finally made it to his side of town. He didn't want to face Naraku after what happened; what if the deranged man knew? It would be the death of him…
Inuyasha shook his head and hurried along to his apartment instead of Naraku's. The teen decided that he would stop over in an hour or so in order to give himself time to think about what he would say if Naraku asked.
The teen reached in his pocket for his keys and let a small smile appear onto his face. 'Why are you worrying? Kagome and her mom are safe, idiot. If Naraku gets mad that they had to flee so be it.'
He entered his apartment and immediately froze as fear washed away his optimistic thought. In his living-room sat Naraku while the remaining gang members from the robbery stood around.
"What did I tell you, boys? I knew he'd show up here instead of my place," Naraku said through gritted teeth.
"No, Naraku. I-I just wanted to stop here first and gather my thoughts. I didn't think you'd be back so soon. I figured you'd call me or—" the teen quickly shut his mouth.
"Call you? Oh. I wasn't aware that you had a cellphone. Hand it over," the older man in the room said, holding out his hand but not looking at the teen.
Dread overcame him. In that moment, Inuyasha realized he hadn't deleted his call log. The number for the police department was still in his phone.
"I meant hand it over TODAY!" Naraku shouted, standing up and walking over to the teen.
Inuyasha sighed and averted his eyes before reaching in his pocket and handing over his phone. His eyebrows turned down as his expression turned to anger, easily replacing his fear.
Naraku smirked and went immediately where Inuyasha knew he would. "Well, well. Looks like we have a snitch in our gang, men!" Naraku stood and walked over to the teen, throwing his cellphone to the floor and smashing it underneath his foot.
Suddenly ten enraged men took a step towards Inuyasha in sync before Naraku put his hand up and told them to sit back down.
"He's mine. None of you are to touch him. Inuyasha…I've shown you what we do to snitches haven't I?"
"If you're going to kill me, then fucking do it! Don't just stand there and talk to me about it!" Inuyasha shouted at the older man in front of him, looking him directly in the eye.
"Ohh, I see what's going on. You've finally grown some balls. I'm not going to kill you, idiot. I'm going to make you suffer in one way or another. You. Will. Pay. You think you know crazy don't you? I know what you say. I know what you ALL say!" Naraku began to yell, his temper visablly rising.
"You all say, 'Naraku is batshit when he's high or when he's drunk,' well you fuckers haven't seen me when I'm sober. My high is gone so here it is. I run this gang. Not any of you. Don't fucking forget that. I could have any of you dead anytime I very well pleased."
Inuyasha's eyes widened. The man was out of control. "Naraku. Stop and get out of my apartment."
"You're telling me to get out?" said intruder then laughed. "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have an apartment that you don't have to pay rent in. This is my apartment." He grabbed ahold of Inuyasha's neck with a grip that refused to let go.
Inuyasha began to choke; he felt his face heating up as Naraku's grip tightened. His hands began to pry at the gang leader's trying to force him to loosen it.
"You think you're tough, don't you Inuyasha?" Naraku spat as he threw the teen to the ground and delivered a harsh, rib bruising kick to his side to make sure he wouldn't get back up. "You couldn't handle half the shit I could. What? Did you do all this to protect that rich bitch of yours? To stop me from finding out where she lives? Here's a clue for you, dipshit. I know where she lives. I've known for months. I even know where her mother works. You can't keep shit like that from me."
Inuyasha looked up at Naraku, holding his side, "If you ever fucking touch either of them. I'll kill you," he threatened.
Naraku laughed, "You don't have the goddamn grapes. If I want to kill or touch them, then I will. But if you want to kill me, then by all means go ahead." Naraku's face turned stoic as he pulled out his pistol and forced Inuyasha to stand up.
He placed the gun into the teen's hands and pointed it at his own temple. "Alright, pussy. Now pull the trigger. The gun is fully loaded. This is your way to rid the world of me," the disturbed man said with a smile.
Inuyasha felt his heart begin to race. What was wrong with this maniac? Even if the gun really was full, the teen couldn't just kill him. No matter how much he wanted to. Though the man did threaten Kagome and her mother…but what would the consequences of Inuyasha's actions be? If he pulled the trigger, what would his fellow gang members do? They wanted his blood after he called the cops on them. With Naraku dead, there would be no one to stop them from hurting him or Kagome as well.
Naraku saw the confused expression on Inuyasha's face and smirked. "Don't believe me that it's loaded?" Naraku yanked the gun out of Inuyasha's hands and walked across the room to one of the gang members standing around.
"Whoa, Naraku what are you—" one of them tried to ask.
"Shut up!" the leader bellowed, cutting him off before pointing the barrel of the gun at the back of one of the recruitments' head. He cocked the gun and, without any hesitation, fired.
Inuyasha watched as crimson red fluid sprayed all over his couch and floor. His breath caught in his throat. He'd witnessed murders before. But not like this.
The other gang members spread apart, to opposite sides of the room, all staring at Naraku with fear and realization in their eyes.
The man's demeanor had changed again, this time to something more grave and sinister than he had ever been before. He pointed to two members against a wall, "You two, dispose of this couch, body, and clean up the blood for Inuyasha. Now."
They didn't wait around. One ran over to the door to open it before retuning and immediately picking up Inuyasha's couch and carrying it off.
Inuyasha chest was heaving up and down, he was ready to vomit after seeing that. The body of the gang member was still lying in the pool of blood with his eyes rolled back and the gaping wound in his forehead.
Naraku walked over to Inuyasha and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, "Don't ever fuck with me, kid. I've given you everything. Now you give me shit. Screw me over again and the next bullet in this gun is going up that pretty little thing's twat. Got it? As for this time, your punishment is coming and don't be surprised when it does. I always make people pay ten times what they cost me."
Naraku let Inuyasha drop back down to the floor and left the apartment with the other gang members. Each going back to their respective homes.
The teen sat with his back against a wall, staring at the body in his home for several minutes until the gang members came back to drag it out in plastic bags before driving off to wherever they were going to dump the two.
He disappeared into his room and ran his hands through his hair, shaking. "Naraku is crazy. There's nothing else to it…"
This was what the man was like while sober…Inuyasha shook his head, trying to fight back the nausea as he had been. Did he only make things worse? What would have happened had they broken into Kagome's house? What if Kagome's house had of been empty?
No matter. The only things that mattered now was making sure he didn't piss Naraku off anymore. Perhaps the man would forget his 'punishment.' Though, even that is doubtful. Another thing was that in a week, Kagome's birthday would be here.
The teen slightly smiled; he was glad that the thought of his beau was enough to at least make his mind stray for a short time. To keep his mind off of the situation in his living-room, he began to think of gifts he could give her.
But it didn't work for long. After several minutes, worry spread over him again. Why didn't he pull the trigger when he had the chance? It'd be the only way to ensure that the gang member never bothered them again. The only way Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kagura could ever escape would be if someone were to die…
Well I'm sorry for the short and depressing chapter ^_^;;; But leave a review to let me know what you think of it? Next chapter might be a little short too.
BUT HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL NO MATTER WHAT YOU CELEBRATE! (I'll see if I can get a holiday oneshot up. I haven't written one in a long while so I make no promises).
But anyway the next chapter probably won't be up until the 28th or 29th! ^_^ Thank you all for reading and sticking around this far!
