Well here's the story enjoy! ^_^
"Kid… we're going to be late." I peaked open an eye. It was dark and I couldn't see anything. I blinked and sat up. I felt around with my hand and found something stringy.
I looked at my hand…or where my hand would be, if I could see it. And I could see the faintest white. I rubbed it around in my fingers. "Hey! Watch the hair. Why did I get stuck with such a little brat."
I jumped. Oh yeah, I wasn't alone. He was taking me somewhere. I was going to meet someone! Hey…did he call me a kid? " Hey yourself! I am not a kid. I'm 16 for your information." I growled at him. " And stop your whining you old geezer."
He growled and got up. I was the one growling here not him. But I guess I picked it up from him, after hanging around him for about a month now. He was mean down to the core. "Maybe it's midlife crises…." I pondered to myself.
"Higaroshi!" He yelled at me. I jumped and stood up.
"Yeah yeah, lets go." I muttered waving my arm at where his voice was and walking to the door.
Oh yeah… Don't exactly know where the door is.
Smash…
Bang…
ClankMy eyes drifted open. What was that noise? "Huh?" I muttered rubbing my eyes. I opened them fully and saw Inuyasha lying on my shoulder. I gave a small eep and jumped away. But his head just fell down to my arm.
"You Pervert!" I heard in front of me, was that a pan that just went flying? I blinked and did my best to peek over the seat. Didn't need to see, to be able to know who was getting beat up though.
Miroku
"I didn't mean to fall asleep on your… Ah! I'm sorry!" I glanced in the isle and saw him scooting away and a foot that looked like it belonged to a woman.
Sango
A match made in hell.
"Sorry? You're sorry? I'll make you sorry!" Was her battle cry as she waved an iron spoon in the air. I closed my eyes quickly. Didn't want them to know I was allowing him to lie on my shoulder.
"Sango, Sango, she's sleeping. We're going to wake her up!" He cried in defense upon seeing me with my eyes closed...actually I think I fell right back to sleep. Stupid me!
Sango lowered her horrible death beater and glanced over her shoulder. Now was my chance to get away. I could get away alive. But wait, its a nice view of her backside.
She gave a small giggle. And I blinked, tarring my eyes away from her tempting rear. "What? What's funny?" I asked standing up and glancing over her shoulder.
There was Mekaga, as I had pointed out. But she looked so cute all cuddled up with Inuyasha.
Not a likely pair I'll say that. But Sango and I are meant for each other. It was written in the stars I tell you! Ok fine don't believe me, but it's there. If you look really hard.
But anyways, if our future is destined, then why can't these two's be? It is very logical! I smiled to myself for my wiseness. " Miroku…" Sango muttered turning to me.
I blinked and looked at her. Her voice was soft and rational. Almost kind of sad. " Yes?" I asked glancing at her.
"I'm a little worried." Sango muttered, I watched her a moment and actually I forgot all the temptations that were plaguing me at the moment.
"What about?" I asked, looking back at the two. Inuyasha had his head on her shoulder and she had her head on his head. Of course they would scream when they woke up, but the moment is just so cute. " Oh. About them? The fight will only last about 5 minutes after they wake up, don't worry!" I said smiling.
"No not that, I'm worried about how Inuyasha looks at Mekaga." She said biting her lip. I tilted my head a little.
"I don't understand." I said leaning on the chair Sango had recently been sitting in.
"Well… Before him and Kikyo got so…close. He always looked at her with those eyes. And I'm worried that Inuyasha might start to look at Mekaga as if she was Kikyo." My mouth opened a bit and I let out a small 'ooo' sound.
I had heard a lot about Kikyo. She's the one that I replaced. The one that died. Sango had said something about her and Inuyasha… but I was a little distracted.
"Your worried that Inuyasha will start to think of Mekaga as Kikyo and not as Mekaga?" I asked. Sango nodded. I put my arm around her shoulder. " Don't you worry your pretty little head!" I said cheerfully.
She smiled a moment and a few moments of silence passed.
"Miroku…" She whispered. My eyebrows shot up. Maybe all my trying would pay off! I smiled sweetly with my eyes closed.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Remove, your, hand, from, my, boob, before, I, take it off!" She shouted and shoved me away storming up the isle to where Kouga was sitting.
Yup, she loves me.
I looked back to the sleeping pair and tilted my head slightly. Mekaga looked so familiar, it was shocking. Her face was right on the top of my head.
I walked a little closer to examine and tilted my head a little. And I heard something just barely a whisper. "Basterd…"
I blinked and scooted back. I was about to say something; unfortunately I forgot what it was. All I remember is that when I opened my eyes I was on the floor, and all I could smell was bubble gum.
"Morning Mir-mir." Came a really…really happy voice in my ear. Oh gods please don't let it be. Ok I usually love girls, especially the kind like the cute shapely one laying in my lap… but with this one it's different.
"Morning." I said with a pleasant smile on my face. Don't get me wrong the little bouncy blond hugging my waste was obnoxious and annoying, but she was one of my really good friends.
"What are you doing?" She asked standing up and pulling me up with her. I rubbed my neck. Where all woman this bad? No. They couldn't all be. I mean she was just this really big tease. And there was no way she would ever do anything with me! I mean well…
"AH! You bitch! Get off of me!"
My eyes opened slightly and I looked around. Oh I fell back to sleep. Hay, what's that sound? It sounds like panting? Was there a dog in here?
I looked around and saw the dog. Inuyasha was almost growling at me. "Pardon?" I muttered rubbing my eye. Was he mad at me? What for, what did I do?
"Get off!" he shouted. I blinked and just then I noticed that my arms where wrapped around his arm. I all but shrieked and jumped out of my seat quickly. How the hell did that happen?
My breathing had picked up, and I laid my head against the chair behind me. "Excuse me?" I heard a tender voice behind me. I jumped and began to back out of the isle.
There was an old woman sitting there, starring at me, she had a camera around her neck and this confused look. I looked at Inuyasha, then at her.
Finally I noticed Miroku who was standing in the isle starring at me, and there was a girl with blond bobby hair. She looked familiar. And wh-where those hearts in her eyes?
In an instant she had my hands grasped in hers. I blinked and looked down at her, she was short and had this enormous smile on her face, and it was kind of scary. "Hello! My name is Hoshi!" She said moving closer.
I let out an eep and jumped back. It was the gay one. She blinked at me, me who was spiraled on the floor starring at her with my hair in my face and me who was breathing really hard. "I…I'm ka..." I stopped myself before it was too late. How was I going do this? And it hit me! I coughed as hard as I could.
"Are you ok Mekaga?" Miroku asked walking forward a little. I saw the half amused look on Inuyasha's face.
"What are you smiling at golden eyes?" I asked glaring.
"I don't know I haven't figured it out yet…" He retorted. God that was the lamest one in the book! I rolled my eyes and tried to stand up. I couldn't.
What?!
Why couldn't I stand up? You know what forget this. I pulled up on the seat and jumped up, with out putting any wait on to floor, so basically, I was holding myself up with my arms.
Inuyasha lifted an eyebrow at me. "What?" I asked dangerously. He only lifted it further. And again I rolled my eyes.
"I'm Mekaga…" I finally told the puzzled girl. She didn't look that old at all. She looked about…17. "Mekaga...Shine." I added. She looked me up and down, and I shuttered to myself. I wasn't supposed to know any of that though.
"Oh well, I'm going to go talk with Kouga." Inuyasha muttered and walked off muttering something to himself; there was a weird silence.
"The plain will be landing in 5 minutes, would you all please take your seats." A plain familiar voice said. "Buckle your seatbelts, and stay seated until authorized by the staff." How was I going to do this?
Inuyasha came back from the front and sat in his window seat and I tried my best to walk to mine. Hoshi and Miroku had taken their seats already. And I was the only one standing up.
"What's your problem Mekaga? Sit down already." Inuyasha scolded. What would I say back to that? There was nothing to say back that won't be a lie… but that's all I was wasn't it. A lie, pretending to be a secret agent, pretending to be someone I'm not, and will never be.
So I tried to walk, I did and I fell with a little gasp of pain. Inuyasha jumped up and rushed over to me. " Hey what happened?" He asked. I looked up at him, my eyes wide. Was he being nice to me?
He smelt really good, not as bad as I would think he'd smell like. Maybe dog breath or something. But he smelt good and he looked worried about me. And my breath caught for a second.
"I…I'm fine." I whispered. Why was I whispering? I guess it was because the whole plane seemed to shut up and I didn't want to disturb the peace.
"Well let's see here." He said quietly, taking off my shoe. Ok why was he being so nice, really? I mean he was starting to remind me of… but no. Never mind that. As soon as his hand touched my foot, I let out a gasp of pain.
I usually deal with pain quite well, but this time it really hurt. Why did it hurt so badly? "Ah-huh…" He muttered.
"What? What was that 'Ah-huh' about?" I said starring at him. I tried to look down at my foot, but unfortunately, somebody had just so conveniently covered my foot with his jacket.
"Its nothing, there's nothing wrong. Accept for the fact that we are not in our seats with our seatbelts buckled like we should be." He said. For some reason, I didn't want to be in my seat all buckled up, I just wanted to stay this close to him and…
Shit.
Ending this corniness now. What the hell has he done to my head, golden boy isn't a nice guy, he is a very rude, mean old fart. And he would pay for this. How dare he put subliminal messages in my brain that jerk.
"I said I'm fine now let me get up and get in my seat." I growled dangerously. I tried to sand up again, but failed miserably, I had to get to my seat, right now. No emotions for golden eyes. I've had enough of golden eyes.
I fell to the ground once again; accept this one I landed right in the arms of golden eyes. "Take me to my seat…please." I muttered not daring too look at him. I could feel his breath on my cheek, and he was right there.
He took me there, slowly, with about one minute to landing time. I sighed, wrapping up in the warm blanket that I had been using and curling up, looking away from him, but I could feel his eyes on me.
"What are you looking at?" I muttered, still not looking at him. The plane began to rumble and I waited for his response. It seemed to be forever. But the plane landed and out came his response.
"I'm not positive." He muttered standing up. He lifted me up in his arms and carried me out of the plane, just like that. His voice had been soft and caring, and his eyes where glazed. What did that mean? Did he think I wasn't Mekaga? Or maybe he thought I was someone else?
I blinked and watched his stony face, he had been really carefree just a few minutes ago, and then I fell. That triggered something. What had it triggered?
I would have to look into this. For some reason I just can't be friendly to Inuyasha. Something inside was telling me that I shouldn't lie to him. Something inside is telling me to trust him, and at the moment I really want to hurt that something.
"Now I can get Miroku to fix you up." Inuyasha said, laying me on the dirt after we had exited the plane, which just so happened to be almost in the middle of nowhere. I blinked.
My life just got a little harder. I sighed and plopped down, not caring about my hair. This place sure was hot. "Pardon me." I heard a scratchy voice. Like an old lady who had smoked a little too much.
"Hm?" I asked looking to the left, where the voice came from. There was oddly dressed woman standing there, covered in black accept for a pair of oddly manly eyes. Black wisps of hair fell into her face and she grabbed my hand…
And pulled
I eeped and cringed. "What is your problem, you old hag." I growled. Ha! Take that. You know its true.
"Shut up and cooperate." Came a dangerous manly voice, a dangerously familiar manly voice. Ah, my life was hell.
He/She shoved me into a wall. " Ok Kagome, what's happened so far?" It asked pining me to the wall. I glared daggers.
Naraku
Basterd. "I've only been with um 3 days you basterd." I said putting up a fist. Of course I probably wouldn't win without my leg. He pulled down his hood, eyes scowling at me.
"Watch your language young lady." He muttered to me. "Would you rather have my father here?" He added, I promptly shut my mouth.
"So what have you accomplished." He said leaning in a little and watching the deserted ally.
"All I know is that there's a ball I have been invited to, showcasing a diamond. They think I will be there, but they don't know what I look like or anything, thank god." I said quickly, my eyes darting around the place.
He nodded, expecting me to say more.
"There isn't much more then that." I said with a sigh.
"What have you been doing these last three days?" He asked. I rolled my eyes at him. He leaned in of course. I hate it when guys like him get all intimidating.
"Is only been three days, I'm good, but I'm not a miracle worker." I was tempted to bite him, pull his hair, that looked better then mine, or do something incredibly mean to him.
"You managed to hurt yourself." He said Stepping on my foot and covering my mouth with his hand. I bit it, trying not to scream. He didn't move it, and I could taste his salty blood. He took his hand away slowly. "I'll fix it."
No way in hell was this basterd going to try anything on my foot, he knelt down and grabbed my bare foot, twisting it and turning it. I cringed, but bore with it. I was strong.
"There, I'm done. It was just dislocated," He said smiling at me. I smacked him. He laughed. He wasn't supposed to do that. I shook my head and walked out of the ally, or kind of limped.
Then I stopped, and took a few steps. I could walk! I was cured! I looked back at him and he was watching me and smiling. "I'm watching you." He said with a wink. Oh how creepy… I would have smiled, if I were 16. But I didn't. I walked on.
I walked right to Inuyasha, " I'm cured." I said, standing in front of him. He looked behind him and saw me standing there triumphantly. I crossed my arms, but I couldn't help but smile at the look on his face.
It was priceless; he was standing there gapping at me. I felt very triumphant. " A simple dislocation." I said smirking.
Kouga came over, eating a banana. "I thought she was cripple." He said. I rolled my eyes and walked away, waving my hips slightly. I had to find someone sane, where was Sango? She was the only sane person around here. Well she did hang pictures of dead people on her walls. Did that make her insane?
We all met up eventually and went to rent a place for the night before we set out on our journey. It was a lay low area, called 'Midnight Moon.' It had a small old fashioned bar downstairs and the rooms weren't all that large.
In fact there where barely any at all. There where actually only about 3 rooms left. And there where 6 of us. 3 girls and 3 boys.
Kouga grabbed Miroku, before he seriously hurt himself. And Sango and I did rock paper scissors too see who went with Hoshi, she lost and I got stuck with Inuyasha.
I wobbled into the little room, one bed, a kitchen area, and a bathroom. "Shit." Was all I said. Soon fallowed by " I get the bed!" Inuyasha walked in slowly and saw me plop down on the bed. Hah on him.
He looked at the floor then back at the enormous bed where I was. And I pointed at the floor. "Why should you get the bed?" He asked. Sitting down.
"Because I am the woman, and I am injured." I pouted, pointing at my foot. He pushed me off the bed. "Hey you jerk! I didn't do anything to you." I sighed and stood up. " You know what…no." I took out my suitcase and opened it, browsing for my disguise.
"What are you doing?" He asked me, and I ignored him. I turned around and walked to the small bathroom. I could feel his eyes on me, but as soon as I got in the tiny room, the annoying feeling left me, and I could hear him fall on the bed.
I'd have to pretend to be a secret agent, at least. I had to make this as believable as possible. Even if I wasn't there. And so I began to change.
Women are so stupid, and how had she pulled off that little trick with her foot? She was so much like Kikyo it was scary.
Here eyes where almost as hallow as Kikyo's. They where the same shade of gray, and her hair was a little bit more messy, but still it held the same elegance. She fought like her; she was so much like her.
I watched her exit to the bathroom, and plopped down on the bed thinking, I'd done a lot of that lately. I sighed and rubbed my head. Women suck. Maybe I should be gay?
No, not happening any time soon. And I don't trust her, something is wrong; it feels like there something she isn't telling us. She was breathing really hard on the plan, like she was hurt.
"What are you doing?" I asked again. Why did I get stuck in the place with her? Why couldn't she go with someone who actually likes her?
"I'm going to look for Kagome." She called back. There was shuffling and I sighed. The door creaked open and little miss 'thang' walked out. "Someone has too." She said, I just starred at her.
She was wearing a red gypsy outfit, with her face covered by a see through material. Her pants where made out of the same material and I could see what looked like a bathing suit underneath. Her top was a red cloth wrapped around her breasts. There where gold braces on her arms and she had a little heart tattoo on her stomach.
I gawked still. She walked past me to the door. "You can close your mouth now." She said to me with a wink and walked out the door. I watched the door. Ok. I changed and rushed downstairs. She would probably be rapped wearing all that shit.
Why do I care? I shook my head and stopped at the foot of the stairs, looking for where she could be. Why did I care? I shook my head with a sigh and started to walk upstairs, when I saw a glimpse of purple. And brown, and red.
There was Mekaga. She was walking with Miroku, clinging to his arms and laughing, and there was Sango, and Hoshi. Sango was in the purple and didn't look very happy. Hoshi was clinging to Kagome and Miroku looked very please with Sango hanging on his other arm. I smashed my hand on my face, grumbling a little, I was about to go back upstairs, again.
Then there was music. I blinked, walking over to the 4. Or the 3. Where had Mekaga gone? I blinked and looked around. I couldn't see her anywhere. "Where did Mekaga go?" I asked Miroku.
"Oh she said she was going to go search for Kagome herself. None of us have seen her face before. And none of you have seen her before." He said rubbing the back of his head.
I nodded looking around. " She's quick." I muttered. Sango was scowling at the stage and Hoshi had attached herself to Sango. I let out a small chuckle and started back to my room, but stopped when I heard a loud smash.
I giggled at Miroku's lame joke. " Your so funny Miroku." I said. God was I gagging inside. I hate doing this kind of crap. I hugged his arm tighter and I new that this was only helping my relationship with Miroku and not Sango. She was glaring at me, and I didn't have to look to know it.
I could just feel it. I glanced around the room, looking for any suspicious characters that might blow my cover. I had been in Egypt just last year stealing a rare gem that was in a pyramid. Big surprise there.
I met a few people, just want to make sure no creeps want anything from me and come over here calling me Kagome. Nobody…accept…
"Excuse me for a moment." I said smiling to the three and detaching Hoshi from my arm. " I'll be right back, I'm going to look for Kagome by myself." Again with the weirdness. Its like I'm talking about myself in the 3ed person… saying I'm going to go find myself. Oh boy oh boy I can't wait.
I wandered over to the 'old woman' sitting at a deserted table and grabbed 'her' hood, dragging 'her' down a corridor.
"Ok, Why the hell are you spying on me?" I asked dangerously.
Naraku laughed taking down his hood. "Well spit it out you transvestite hag." I said folding my arms.
"Kags, watch the language, will you." He said to me, immediately claiming dominancy. I wouldn't go down without a fight though.
"Why are you here?" I enunciated. Again there was that annoying evil laugh. Why does that always have to come into our colorful conversations? It's always there.
Unfortunately in my mental whining, I lost track of remaining dominant and he shoved me into the wall behind me. I let out a small gasp sealing my eyes tightly, and when I opened them he was less then 6 inches away, and that right there is in my bubble.
I dared not breath; " I just came to tell you that you should call this as a trap. I have men out there waiting for my signal to attack." He said rubbing my cheek. He had shocked me, and I would make him pay.
"So you want me to get the people who I am supposed to be friends with dead?" I asked him, finally gathering my courage to talk.
He shook his head with a halfhearted laugh. " No, now is your chance to gain some trust. You can go in there call it a trap have a little fight with some drunk Egyptians and then work on getting a date." He said really quickly.
It made sense, his plan, it did. I sighed, feeling very uncomfortable. "Ok fine…" I started but was cut off by the very sudden invasion of my bubble.
That slimy hag had pressed his lips on mine, rather firmly might I add. I starred at the wall behind him, my eyes wide with shock. It wasn't until I discovered his disgusting tongue roaming around in my mouth that I regained my senses.
I kicked him in the groin as hard as I could " Get the fuck away!" I yelled at him before punching him in the gut. "How dare you."
And he laughed. " You look lovely tonight." He said before disappearing behind a door. And I heard music, very disturbing music. I rolled my eyes. Show time…
I ran out of the corridor and into the previous room I had been in. And sure enough there was an ugly fat man holding a bench over Miroku's head.
I dived just before he dropped it, sending the large man to the floor, with the chair on his head. There was a loud crack, signaling about ten men to stand up, oh boy would this be fun.
As far as I knew Hoshi didn't know how to fight and she didn't look particularly excited. " Hey Hoshi, can you fight?" I asked backing up near her, still glaring at my partners in crime.
"No, I'm just a scientist." She stammered, nibbling on one of her little nails.
" Miroku I want you to get Hoshi out of here, find Kouga, get him down here. This is a trap, Kagome isn't here." I said urgently. I deserve an Emmy, saying I am not there, when I am, and fighting my comrades.
"Right!" He said grabbing Hoshi by the hand and fleeing to the door. I made sure they got out ok before ripping off my red mask thing and throwing it on the floor. " Lets dance shall we boys." I muttered before throwing a punch at the largest of the group.
And so it began. I tried to avoid contact on my bad foot, but I would just have to deal. A round off here a back spring there, a duck, a swing, and a little help from the enemy.
It was over before Kouga got downstairs. He came storming down, knife ready in hand, and hair in a ponytail. But he was too late; I was on the floor counting how many men we had just killed. "15." I muttered, " And I thought it was 10."
"Mekaga, why the hell did you fight?" Kouga growled rushing down to me. He grabbed hold of my shoulders and stared into my eyes. It was almost scary.
What was I supposed to say? If I pushed them away, would they do the same to me? Memories flashed in my mind.
"You can't take care of her, you're a criminal."
"But you love me."
"Kagome-"
I was crying so hard, and I hated it.
"Why do you do this? I have money. I can take care of us."
It was too late.
I hadn't noticed I was starring at Kouga, my eyes watering with a blank expression. That was the beginning of a fate changing fight.
Oh well, I'll just continue the way I have been. I shook my head and blinked my eyes. " Why shouldn't I have?" I asked before I attempted to stand up.
Unfortunately I failed. I rolled my eyes, and when I looked ahead I found a red shirt in front of me. I blinked. Wait no, the shirt was on someone. It was the back, and look white hair. Golden eyes was offering me a lift? Should I accept?
"Well get on already, I'm in a generous mood." He said scowling. I gave a small, real giggle before wrapping my arms around his neck, and my legs around his hips. He stood up and fixed me so I didn't fall.
"Well let's get outa this lame country." I muttered. " On-word golden eyes." I said pointing forward and I heard a laugh behind me. I glimpsed back to see Miroku, trying his hardest not to burst out laughing and Kouga looking extremely pissed.
Why was it that when ever I got to be better friends with someone, someone got all mad at me. This was one really jealous bunch of good guys.
Inuyasha walked out the front door. " Hey what about our stuff?" I asked looking back at the little hotel.
"Hoshi brought it out, I told her to." Miroku called to me from behind. I looked back at him and nodded, so he knew I understood, then looked ahead and you'll never guess what was sitting in front of us.
A plane. Oh joy…
