Road Trip for Kagome and Fluffy as they go to Tokyo! As always, Inuyasha and co belong to Takahashi Rumiko ::bows:: et al.)
Five Days In Tokyo - or - Sesshoumaru's Unlikely Visit - Seven
Kagome held on for dear life as Sesshoumaru ran fast - much faster than Inuyasha could - down the street away from her house. In very little time, they were out of her neighborhood and at the highway that led into the city. He leaped and Kagome let out a sharp scream as he landed on something!
A - a CAR!! Sesshoumaru was standing on a roof of a car that had of all things an open sunroof! Kagome could see the terrified driver look up as Sesshoumaru peered at him.
"EEEYAAAAAAA!!!" The driver - a bespectacled man in his mid-40's - swerved the car all over the road as he saw this - this demon man on his roof who had pointed ears, was dressed like a samurai and had a girl with him!
"A HUMAN!" Sesshoumaru scowled as with one hand, he drew his sword!
"NOOOO! Sesshoumar - eeeeeeeeek!!" Kagome's screamed as the driver swerved onto oncoming traffic. Horns were blaring at the spectacle of the small compact car with a man on it's roof holding a woman like she was some sort of baggage in one arm and holding a sword in the other.
Sesshoumaru frowned. He did not like the way the stupid human was driving this carriage and killing him would only make the carriage plow into the other ones. Normally he would have just figured his speed and agility would help him, but these carriages seemed to move nearly as fast as he could. The wench screaming in his ear and those obnoxious sounds coming from the other carriages didn't help at all.
But the worst was to come for poor Sesshoumaru's ears as sirens blared off to the side of them.
"PULL OVER!" Kagome turned her head to the side and saw the police car with lights flashing and their sirens blaring. Oh no!!!
"Sesshoumaru! Let's get OUT of here before we get killed - or arrested!" Kagome pleaded. She could just see the headlines now - 'High School Student And Samurai Alien Jailed For Running amok In Toyko Traffic"
"SHIIINNNEEEEEEE! GET OFF MY CAR!!!" The driver was shouting as he kept swerving around.
"Bah..stupid humans.." Sesshoumaru quickly placed the sword back in it's sheath and glared at the carriage that was making the horendous sounds that was splitting his head wide open. He leaped off of the small compact car with Kagome still in tow and with graceful ease, lopped off the speaker attached to the roof of the police car thus silencing the siren!
"Sesshoumaru!! Oh my GOD!!" Kagome's eyes widened as she saw an approaching tractor trailer. Sesshoumaru, however saw the approaching behemoth and jumped quickly to avoid collision, leaping upon it's attached trailer instead.
The two cars - the compact and the police car veered in different directions to avoid the tractor trailer, the police car crashing into a 'love motel', causing a number of people in varying stages of undress to run out of the hotel as if the devils of hell were after them! The compact car hit a fire hydrant and landed on top of the hole in the ground, causing the water to spray out of the sunroof.
"Aaaayyyyiiii!!" The man spilled out of the car, his glasses askew, as the irate owner of a pachiko parlor proceeded to hit the man with a broom.
Such was the chaos that Sesshoumaru had created already!
However, he and Kagome were still on the bed of the tractor trailer headed for Tokyo proper. Kagome was panting, her adrenaline still pumping after that wild ride!
"Sesshoumaru, put me down." Kagome said, although she wasn't quite sure if she wanted him to, seeing as they were going at least fifty miles an hour down the highway itself. However, Sesshoumaru did not move at all, which caused Kagome to look up at him. He seemed transfixed by something.
"Sesshoumaru, what's wrong?" Kagome asked.
"What - is - this - place?" Sesshoumaru said almost to himself.
And then Kagome realized that he was seeing the tall glass buildings that represented the business district of Tokyo.
Sesshoumaru could not believe his eyes. Those buildings in the distance - they looked like they would be taller than he was in his true form. In fact, Sesshoumaru figured that they might be even taller than his father had been at his full grown size!
Surely humans could not build such sky-touching buildings, could they?
Then he smirked just ever so slightly realizing that perhaps dog-youkai DID rule this land and that the humans who drove these carriages were their servants! That made sense!
He looked down at his half-brother's wench, a look of superiority in his eyes.
"Fah..you thought you could trick me, wench. But now I see with my own eyes that youkai dwell in this odd land of yours!"
~Baka!!~ Kagome thought. He refused to see that humans were the ones who built those tall buildings!
"We shall use this conveyance to take us to - " He frowned. "Where are we going, wench?"
Kagome was still mad, so she didn't say anything.
"Tell me or I shall enjoy seeing your body flattened by the carriages below.." Sesshoumaru growled.
Kagome's eyes flashed with anger. "It's Tokyo, you asshole!" For once Kagome felt the word WAS appropriate.
Sesshoumaru only nodded and then quite suddenly he flattened the both of them to the roof as they went under an overpass. Kagome shivered and she didn't know if it was because of the winds blowing past them or if it was because Sesshoumaru was covering her with his body.
It was starting to look to be a loooong day, Kagome thought. Being back with Inuyasha sounded VERY good right about now...
****
Sesshoumaru had leaped off of the trailer without much problem, still carrying Kagome like a sack of potatoes as they landed on a nondescript street. The vendors that were already out were giving them curious looks.
"Put me down.." Kagome groaned as she tried to keep her hair out of her face. Sesshoumaru, with a sigh, put her down but not without grabbing her wrist firmly.
"You will now show me where your masters live and I will make my presence known to the Lords of Tokyo."
Kagome rolled her eyes as she tried to ignore the shopkeeper's curious looks. Sesshoumaru's tail had already wound around his shoulder and with his elaborate kimono and sword, he was certainly a sight - and oh no, his ears! They'd have to be hidden!
"Sesshoumaru..your ears.." Kagome whispered.
"What about them, woman?" He grasped her wrist a bit more firmly.
~At least 'woman' is an improvement over 'bitch' or 'wench'.." Kagome thought.
"It's - well, the people of Tokyo - they would not be used to seeing someone so - ah - high born and noble a youkai as yourself, and - and it's a custom for visiting youkai lords presenting themselves to the Lords of Tokyo to wear a hat."
"A - hat?" Sesshoumaru pursed his lips at the unfamilar word.
"Yes - a - a head covering!" Kagome brightened. "You wouldn't want to break a tradition now would you? I mean Inuyasha is ALWAYS breaking tradition and - "
Sesshoumaru jerked her wrist, pulling Kagome to him. "Do NOT compare me to that hound.." He seethed. "You will get this 'hat' for me."
"Of - of course!" Kagome couldn't pull her wrist away, so she asked nicely, "Could you please let go of my wrist so I can get one for you? I know it's beneath you to deal with a vendor."
Kagome wanted to smile when she saw the youkai-lord visibly puff up. Yes, he and Inuyasha were definitely brothers all right. Appeal to their vanity and -
"Hurry up, wench." Sesshoumaru had dismissed her. "But you WILL come back else I must look for you and you don't want me to do that.."
"Hai.." Kagome had spotted a shopkeeper who sold clothing and novelty hats and caps. Quickly selecting a cap and paying for it, she ran back to Sesshoumaru and presented it. He picked it up, examining the stitching on the cap.
"What is this?" He pointed to the unfamilar language on the cap. It read, "LA Lakers"
"Oh! That's ah - The L.A. Lakers - a - uh youkai tribe! They compete against other youkai tribes for sport." Kagome said.
"Lakers..ah..water youkai." Sesshoumaru looked like he approved - somewhat. He put the cap on but it didn't quite cover his pointed ears. Kagome took the cap and adjusted it to where it fit upon his head comfortably and covered his pointed ears. By the way he frowned, Kagome could guess that he did not like the hat covering his head. She thought he looked rather cute - in a weird way.
"You look very noble, Sesshoumaru-sama." Kagome smiled at the youkai-lord. Even though people were passing by, still looking at him oddly, Kagome was sure that they would only think he was a weirdo who liked to dress like a samurai.
Sesshoumaru half-snorted, half-wuffed at Kagome - much to her relief.
"Now, show me the way, woman." He demanded imperiously.
Kagome sighed. ~Okay you asked for it.~ "Of course, Sesshoumaru. This way." Kagome led the way to the main sidewalk and they walked towards the business district.
