Chapter 4- Old Acquaintances
It was 6:00 in the afternoon, and Sango was ready to go face Naraku. Kagome helped her friend to Miroku's car (Sango was using crutches now) Sango was silent the whole time. Kagome and Miroku tried to strike up some conversation, but Sango didn't want to talk, and Inu Yasha was not in a very good mood.
Finally Inu Yasha talked. "Why do I have to go? Its not like I want to see Naraku again. Once was bad enough."
"We need your strength in case something goes wrong." Kagome told him.
"Kagome dear, do you really think things CAN go right tonight?" Miroku looked at her through the rear-view mirror. "The only way things could possibly go right is for Sango to accept his offer and that is NOT happening." He shot a look at Sango, who kept on looking out her window.
'He doesn't get it,' She thought to herself. 'He doesn't get that marrying Naraku is the only way for my family to stay in business and to get Kohaku back safely.' Sango shook her head, and continued staring at the passing scenery.
Miroku noticed her silence and knew what she must be thinking. "No way. I am NOT taking you to see Naraku if you are seriously thinking about taking up his offer." Miroku was about to turn off onto another road.
"No, you are taking me to Naraku's and that is final." Sango finally looked at him. "So shut up, stop whining, and drive." She turned away again, but she didn't miss the hurt look on his face.
Kagome and Inu Yasha sat quietly in the back, not wanting to have Sango's wrath turn on them. Inu Yasha noticed Kagome clutching his arm, and shook her off. "She's not going to hurt you wench." Inu Yasha whispered. "And if she tries..." He cracked his knuckles.
Kagome hit his arm lightly. "Stop, this isn't the time."
"Well, here we are." Miroku's dejected voice sounded from the drivers seat. He hopped out, ran around the car, and opened Sango's door for her. After he helped her out of the car, he got her crutches and assisted her in walking to the front door of the massive building.
"Its HUGE!" Kagome whispered. She and Inu Yasha were walking a couple of steps behind Miroku and Sango, keeping their distance.
They got to the front desk, asked where Naraku's office was, went to find an elevator. They finally found one, then pressed the up button. When the door opened, there was... Sesshoumaru?
"Agh!" Inu Yasha yelled, seeing his supposedly dead half brother.
"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked.
"Ah, my hanyou brother, and his little human friend."
The group had piled onto the elevator, and was going up. "I thought you were dead." Inu Yasha commented.
"Did you really think that bitches arrow could kill ME?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Oh, and don't worry. I'm not after your petty sword anymore."
"Well that's a relief." Kagome sighed. "Wait... Kikyo's not alive still, is she?" Inu Yasha made a disgusted look.
"No she isn't. Inu Yasha, that face does not look right, please stop, your scaring Rin."
"Rin?" Kagome asked. A little girl popped out from behind Sesshoumaru's leg.
"Hi!" The little girl smiled at them. "Are you Sesshoumaru-sama's brother? Are you Sesshoumaru-sama's brother's girlfriend? Who are those two?"
Kagome blinked several times, trying to sort out the questions. "Yes, Inu Yasha is Sesshoumaru's brother, and yes, I'm his girlfriend. These are our friends, Miroku and Sango. I'm Kagome."
Rin beamed. "Rin likes Kagome." Kagome and Rin kept talking.
Inu Yasha snorted. "Who's the girl?" He asked his brother.
"She was an orphan, and she was dieing. I saved her, and she kept following me around."
"Rin likes Sesshoumaru-sama! But Rin doesn't like Jaken. Jaken is mean to Rin, and he leaves Rin alone when Sesshoumaru-sama tells him to take care of Rin." She pouted.
"Jaken? Isn't he in jail." Miroku asked, talking for the first time since they met up with Sesshoumaru and Rin.
"He was, but Sesshoumaru-sama got him out." Rin told everyone.
Kagome got VERY scared. "Did you get Hojo out, too?" Inu Yasha tightened his grip around her waist.
"No. Hojo was a mean man, and he tried to hurt Rin." Rin got teary eyed. "But then Sesshoumaru-sama yelled at him, and the bad man left Rin alone! I love Sesshoumaru-sama!" She was smiling again, and hugging Sesshoumaru's leg.
"Well Sesshoumaru. I never thought I would see the day when you took in a little girl, especially when there was nothing in it for you." Inu Yasha commented, and released his death grip on Kagome. Clearly Sesshoumaru didn't care about them anymore, and Hojo wasn't out on the streets planning revenge.
The elevator stopped. The doors opened, and Sesshoumaru got off with Rin trailing behind. "Bye Kagome!" Rin waved at the girl on the elevator, who waved back.
"Well that was... interesting." Kagome said, trying to figure out what had happened.
"Very." Inu Yasha said dryly, and Miroku nodded in agreement.
Sango was staring at the elevator wall, not really paying attention. The only things she had noticed during the whole thing was when Miroku said something, and when he had put his arm around her.
The elevator stopped again on the top floor, and the group got out. Apparently Naraku's office took up the whole top floor, because as soon as they got out, they were in the waiting room. Sango walked as quickly as she could with crutches to the receptionist desk. "I demand to see Naraku, now."
"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked, then took a sip of her coffee.
"I don't care about appointments." Sango growled.
"I'm sorry, but you cant go in unless you have an appointment."
"That never stopped us before." Kagome said, then walked past the lady at the desk, followed by her friends.
"Wait! You cant!"
"Oh shut up." Inu Yasha told the woman impatiently. "You cant stop us, so save your breath."
Sango opened the office door and walked in. "Naraku!" She yelled into the darkness. When he didn't answer she tried again. "Stop hiding, and come out and face me!"
"Sango dear, its lovely to see you." A voice said from the darkness.
