figure you should know what it means:
Esto es no bueno - This is not good
No te vas a creer esto - You will never believe this
Es lo que hay que hacer - It's the right thing to do

Chapter 7: Play By The Rules

Smokey looked up the stairs towards Kagome's room then to her brother. "I want you to follow her."

Hunter nodded. "No Prob." He grinned and walked to his own room, quickly putting together a small suitcase.

The wolf goddess sighed, shoving her hands into the pockets of her slacks and headed up to her father's office, wondering how to explain the situation best.

***

Kagome creep silently into Smokey's office and shut the door, turning the lock. 'Better hurry.' She moved quickly to the phone and picked it up, grinning at the dial-tone and punched in the numbers for Inuyasha's cell.

"Hello?" "Inu-Chan..It's Kagome." "Hey!! What's up?" "Um.well Smokey is sending me to Colorado."

"What!?" "Not because of us! She doesn't know!" "Oh...then why?"

"Something happened but I'm not sure..I was wondering actually if you wanted to go." "That sounds great."

"Okay!! Meet me at the corner store on Central in an hour with your stuff!"

With a wide smile she placed the phone on the cradle, confident that the phone wasn't wired.

Kagome snuck back out of the room and collected her bags, putting them in the large foyer and walking to the kitchen.

"Gathering snacks for your trip seƱorita?" The cook questioned, crossing her plump arms under her chest and watching Kagome dig through the refrigerator.

"Yup!" Kagome grinned, throwing random things into a cooler. She grabbed a bottle of chocolate sauce, blushed then threw it into the cooler as well then shut both doors.

"Can you have one the guards carry this into the hall? I need to get a car." She smiled at the cook and dashed into the large garage, frowning slightly at all the vehicles. She moved down the rows and stopped in front of a new dark purple Chevy Blazer.

"Perfect!" She quickly searched the car and found the hidden key. She opened the closest door and climbed into the SUV, then easily drove it out, glad of all the driving lessons Smokey had given her.

Kagome closed the garage door and drove to the front of the house, having the truck loaded with all her bags swiftly.

She drove away from the house and onto the main road smiling and not seeing the small silver car quickly catch her tail.

A while later Kagome pulled into the parking lot and stopped next to InuYasha.

Hunter drove by, watching Kagome carefully and nearly ran a red light as he saw InuYasha put his luggage in the back of the Blazer. "What the hell!?" He growled, slamming on the brakes before crossing the line.

InuYasha looked at the intersection as he heard tires squealing to a stop then shrugged not seeing a car he recognized and climbed into the front passenger seat, smiling brightly at Kagome.

The young girl stopped herself from jumping into his lap with excitement and settled on a smile. "It's a bit of a drive.but the cabin is worth it..and we'll be all alone!"

InuYasha raised a brow. "Smokey isn't coming? Or sending any guards?" Kagome shook her head and drove out of the parking lot, driving towards the interstate. "Like I said.something happened and she's not gonna leave."

The hanyou nodded and looked Kagome over, his amber eyes narrowing at the sight of the bruises on her neck. "What happened?" "Huh?" Kagome blinked, only sparing him a glace then watching the road again. "The bruises.who gave them to you?" He tried to ask calmly, but the question coming out more in a growl.

"Oh yea." Kagome grinned sheepishly. "Serlina.attacked me last night. but Smokey took care of her." She added quickly, fearing the look in his eyes.

InuYasha bit the inside of his lip to keep from snarling and cursing the woman he didn't know. Kagome sighed. "She saw us in the park..but Smokey won't believe a word she says.so we're safe." InuYasha nodded then decided to change the subject. "So..what's this cabin like?" Kagome smiled and started into an enthusiastic description of the cabin.

Smokey was walking over her property again, looking for any clues to help her find the person who had snuck in during the night and killed three of her guards. "Bloody rain washed everything away."

She sighed and combed her fingers through her bangs thoughtfully. 'at least Kagome is safe now.' With another heavy sigh, the wolf hanyou turned to go back into the house when her cell phone rang.

"You can't be serious Hunter..why would Kagome pick up InuYasha Kigai? I forbad her from seeing him.." Smokey said to her seriously confused brother.

"I dunno Smokey.but I know it was him." Hunter tried to keep his focus on the Blazer while staying hidden from their sights.

"I swear to San, Antonio.if you're lying I'm gonna kill you." She heard him huff and added quickly. "Keep an eye on them and call me when you get to the cabin and are sure it's Kigai." She flipped the phone closed and looked down at it, focusing on the ends of the scar on her palm. "What in the hells are you doing Kagome?" She asked out loud.

Kagome pulled up in front of the cabin and smiled, stopping the Blazer on the snowy driveway.

"It's huge!" InuYasha exclaimed. "It's smaller than your house." Kagome pointed out and climbed out into the snow the cold hitting her hard.

InuYasha huffed and stepped out of the Blazer the cold affecting him a lot less than Kagome. The young girl smiled at him. "C'mon.I'll show you around..there's this really comfy rug in front of the fireplace." She smiled playfully at InuYasha's shocked expression and quickly ran up the steps and slid across the porch, slamming her key into the lock and trying to shove the door open as InuYasha jumped up the stairs behind her, both of them laughing loudly.

Hunter sat up on the top of a hill not far away and sighed, dropping his binoculars into his bag. "esto es no bueno" He grabbed his cell phone and dialed his sister's number. "no te vas a creer esto. It's Kigai..and they just ran into the cabin.."

Smokey got the call as she was vaulting over a wall, the shrill ringing startling her into falling to the other side, her foot bending unnaturally to the right and she went to her butt with a curse, grabbing for the phone.

"What!?!" She blinked hearing Hunter then pouted. "I'm on my way..and I'm bringing the older Kigai..keep me updated." Smokey closed her phone, shoving it into her pocket as she got slowly to her feet, testing her weight on her ankle and wincing when it threatened to give out. "Damn..." She growled as she limped back to the house.

An hour later she walked out to the garage, biting her lip hard. "It'll be okay my ass." She threw a small bag in the back seat of a Mountaineer and slid into the driver's seat, wondering if she was doing the right thing. "es lo que hay que hacer."

Smokey pulled up in of the Kigai residence and tilted her head to the side. "Maybe he doesn't need to know.." It was her conscious that got her out of the truck and up the steps. The door opened seconds after she knocked and Smokey found herself staring at Sesshoumaru himself.

Sess didn't know whether to be surprised or annoyed, he settled with annoyed. "Well.to what do I owe this pleasure?" Smokey slid her sunglasses off her nose and narrowed her eyes. "Your brother has accompanied Higurashi to my family's cabin.where she was sent to be protected.unfortunately your brother's presence causes more trouble for her and I am sure I would not be able to remove him without force so I am seeking out your help." She bit her tongue hard to keep from adding any smart-ass comments.

The older demon stayed silent then nodded. "Where is this cabin?" Smokey snorted. "I'm going to take you there..so hurry and pack some clothes..it's cold up there." She turned in a quick military about-face sucking in a deep breathe as her ankle twisted in its wrap.

Sess arched a brow and was about to object, then sighed turning back into the house and quickly gathering stuff. For some strange reason he wanted to help her. 'feh.it's just cause she has a pretty face.' He walked out to Smokey's SUV, smirking as she immediately shifted her weight onto her injured ankle. "Can you drive?"

Smokey growled lowly, pushing her sunglasses back on her nose. "Shut-up and get in before I decide to leave your ass."

He couldn't help but smile as he slid into the front seat, pushing his bag into the back. "How far away is this cabin?"

Smokey started up the SUV and pulled away from the house. "It's in Colorado.and it'll be a nice drive if you follow my only rule.touch my radio and I cut off your hands." She smiled at his surprised look and settled back for the drive.

***

InuYasha wandered into the kitchen area as Kagome crouched in front of the fireplace, lighting a fire.

"Oh InuYasha.." Kagome's voice sounded from the living room. InuYasha blinked at the difference in her voice and walked into the large room, lighted with only the fire which was silhouetting Kagome's half-clothed form.

Kagome smiled and tried to get her body to stop shaking. The hanyou's jaw dropped slightly. "You're beautiful." he murmured as he crossed over to her, placing his hands gently on her shoulders.

She blushed lightly, tilting her chin up. "I want you InuYasha......"

InuYasha smiled and kissed her softly, easing her onto the carpet, running his hands to her hips.

(aww c'mon guys.don't tell me you didn't expect them to get together?! And I told you I'm not good when it comes to that kind of stuff..sorry! ^_^ use your imaginations! )

Smokey shifted in her seat, her ankle was killing her and her butt was asleep. Sess glanced over then shook his head, closing his eyes; the stubborn wolf could suffer for all he cared.

A few hours later the small SUV plowed through the snow to stop behind the Blazer. "about damn time!!" Smokey sighed softly and opened the door, the cold wind whipping chilling her and getting her blood pumping. "Let's get this over with!" Her face set into a cold glare.

Sess climbed out into the snow and raised a brow. "you seem confident that they'll come without a fight." "will they have a choice?" She climbed the steps and pushed the door open with Sess right behind her, neither noticing a black Suburban climbing the mountain road.

"Kagome." Smokey walked into the living room then quickly stepped out, eyes cast to the side. "you think they would have had the decency to cover up." Sess blinked and looked past her then at the ceiling.

Smokey smirked turning to face Sess. "Looks like little brother is well hung." She laughed then pulled out her gun and shot a metal pan hanging on the wall by the door. The sharp crack had both InuYasha and Kagome on their feet, staring at Smokey and Sess.

"Oh shit.." Was all either could say. "Mind covering up? Please?" Smokey kept her eyes adverted. InuYasha blushed and grabs his pants, pulling them on and throwing his shirt to Kagome.

"Get fully dressed InuYasha." Sess narrowed his eyes. "We're leaving now."

Both InuYasha and Kagome looked between Smokey and Sess. "you.we're not leaving!" Kagome blurted out then flinched at her friends' cold glare. "now Kagome."

Smokey brushed past Sess to the front door and pulled the door open, only to be greeted with ice cold gun barrel against her forehead. "On second thought..We can stay for a little while.."
