Chapter 11-War and peace
Sango crept along side of the limo Rin had used to arrive. She had to be sneaky if she wanted to catch the woman before she jumped into the vehicle and sped away. Miroku and the rest of the gang were still shooting at the ones left in the gang, but Rin wasn't going to go down again. Sango knew she had learned from her mistakes of not being aware of everything around her last time and there was no way she'd be doing it again. So, new tactic, catch them by surprise when they're least expecting it. She hoped that Rin would for once be caught of guard so that she'd be caught and interrogated like she would never believe.
However, no such luck.
Rin turned and glared at Sango through the window of the limo. Sango, not knowing what else to do, got up and started shooting at her over the top of the vehicle at a range that could blow her head off her shoulders. Rin managed to turn and get a shot in, enough to graze the top of Sango's shoulder before she climbed into the limo and it sped off, leaving the rest of the gang to ponder their deaths because their leader had left them.
Miroku and the gang took out the three standing men in less than a minute and he rushed to make sure Sango was all right. She was still standing and seemed perfectly fine, but she held her shoulder as the blood leaked down her arm, over her gun and onto the ground.
Miroku took off his sleeveless shirt and pulled her hand away from her wound to place it and hold it firmly in place. He knew Sango was all right, so he didn't ask. He did, however, make sure that she wouldn't do anything by herself. "Come on, Sango, we have bandages in the club."
"Miroku, I'm going to live."
"I know, but I can be worried about you all I want. I mean, give me some credit, I held back that automatic reaction of asking if you were alright."
She smirked. "Very wise, my friend, very wise." She sighed deeply. It was just scrape, nothing that was too serious and that couldn't heal in a couple of weeks. Too bad she didn't have supernatural abilities with healing powers, though, so that it didn't leave a scar.
The rest of the gang members cleaned up the mess on the street as Miroku tended to Sango's wound in Inuyasha's office. She let him, even though she was more worried with the whereabouts of Inuyasha and Kagome. "I wonder if Kagome and Inuyasha are ok."
"Of course they are, Sango. We are talking about Inuyasha here."
"Well I'm just saying that we haven't seen Fluffy or psycho bitch all night. And I know for a fact that Sesshomaru usually shows up at the fights unless he has something else he's doing."
"Sango, Inuyasha felt well enough to call you, I think they are fine. Besides, if he didn't bring her back to the club then he probably took them to my house. There's no where else they could hide out and not worry about being hurt."
Sango nodded and poked Miroku when he finished wrapping her arm. "Yea, I guess so. I'm just glad Kagome is found and GET YOUR HAND OFF MY ASS!"
Miroku smirked and pulled his hand away before Sango slapped him. He kept the smirk as he rubbed his cheek. "I guess you are all right if you're well enough to still hit me using that shoulder."
"Ugh…lecher."
"Only to you, Sango, only to you." He stood and offered her a hand up. She slowly took it and became wary of his hand. "We must make sure the club is doing a good job, Sango, so let's go."
She nodded and followed him out to the street. They had to get that mess picked up before a cop just happened to drive by and notice all the bodies left everywhere. That wouldn't end well for the gang.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome woke an annoying light shining in her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes and took note that before she could focus she was hugging something incredibly warm. Something soft, and very, very warm…
She blinked a couple of times and moved her head up to find that she was sleeping on Inuyasha, while he had a hand behind his head and the other possessively holding her to him. She continued to blink and smirked at his sleeping face. He was the cutest thing in the world when he was sleeping.
She remembered that she had a wound, and taking note at how strong the sun was, she had been asleep all night and most of the day. She looked down and gaped. There was no wound, it was once again her smooth and flawless stomach just covered in the sticky remains of blood. Inuyasha must have taken note to that, too, because his hand rested right above the area the wound would be and directly under her breasts.
She shifted and stopped as soon as she heard Inuyasha growl. She turned her head slightly to him and saw him crack his eye open to stare at her. "Don't move." He said sleepily, pulling her even closer to him.
Kagome smiled slightly. "But I'm healed."
He snorted and continued to pull her closer. "So? I said don't move, I'm not ready for you to go anywhere yet." He had pulled her close enough that she nestled her cheek in the crook of his neck as he rubbed his cheek against her hair.
She sighed and traced little designs on his chest. "Did you sleep well?"
"Duh, I slept deeply and I hardly ever do that." He took deep breaths and Kagome bit her lip to hide her laugh.
"Inuyasha…are you…are you sniffing me?" She desperately tried to keep the humor out of her voice.
He continued doing it. "Yea, your hair smells good. What kind of shampoo does Sango have?"
Kagome chucked slightly and shrugged. "Herbal essence?"
"Hmm, no wonder, it smells good." He buried his face in her hair to get away from the still lingering stench of her blood. Now that he was awake, it was driving him crazy, but he'd only lie for a few more minutes before making her get up to clean herself up. Besides, he was warm and comfortable, and he was the type to make moments like this last for as long as he could.
Kagome shifted again and his grip tightened while he growled softly. She shifted back towards him and moved closer, so he stopped the growling and secured his grip to make sure she would stay there. Once he got up, he had to start his day, and he didn't want to do that. No, he would kill to stay in this position forever.
His cell phone rang across the room on the dresser and he gave it a glare as if that would stop the ringing. But instead he sighed and moved Kagome away from him to stand and stretch. "I suppose since now I'm forced to get up, you should go and take a shower."
Kagome wasn't slow about it. She stood and covered her arms tightly over her chest, hearing Inuyasha mutter something to the effect of that she didn't need to cover herself when he had already seen it all. Completely stunned, she continued walking into the bathroom and closed the door, leaning on it to sigh deeply. Well that was weird…She shrugged it off and hopped into Miroku's shower, noting that all his shampoos seemed exotic and very expensive. It made her wonder slightly about where he was really brought up.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha picked up his phone in the same manner as always. "What the hell do you want?"
"Ah, finally awake I see. How many times do I have to call you before you answer your phone, Inuyasha?" Miroku's cheerful and humorous tone made Inuyasha scowl.
"What do you want, Miroku?" Inuyasha suddenly found himself distracted by the sounds of the shower and the doors slamming together as Kagome got into the shower. He was male, he just got up, so sue him, he would love nothing more than to be in that shower with her at the moment.
"Well Inuyasha, I thought that as our rightful leader you would want to know about the battle last night in our club."
"If you are well enough to call me then you obviously made it out alive, now didn't you?" Kagome started humming in the shower and he found all his focusing to be on the shower instead of on his friend on the phone. Her still lingering scent was going to drive him insane if he didn't do something about it.
"Well if you must know, we all made it out ok, but Sango has obtained a minor injury on her shoulder from a bullet wound. She and Rin were at it at close range, and Rin almost got her head blown off."
Inuyasha was barely listening now. "Uh huh…well…" He was even looking toward the door of the bathroom. He had an unexplainable yet appealing urge to throw the phone across the room and join her.
There was a long pause before Miroku cleared his throat. "Inuyasha, I invited thirty women to have sex with me on your office desk last night, I hope you don't mind." The now angry Sango was nudging him, but he held up a finger to show he was making a point.
"Uh…yea, sure, whatever." He was gazing at the door, carefully inching towards it. He was going to be brave, and he'd enjoy every minute of it.
"Inuyasha, what the hell are you doing? You're not even paying attention to me, what's going on over there?"
"I…umm…I can't talk now, I'm busy, gotta go." Then he threw the phone to his bed and walked over to the door, opening it and carefully walking in.
He closed the door without Kagome noticing he had come in, completely oblivious as she was washing her hair. He smirked at the thought of the many possible reactions she would have, and unless she was completely hysterical, he would enjoy it. He still couldn't help but wonder what she would do. Well duh, she'll be shocked first then appreciate it later. Besides, I can't help myself…
Kagome stopped for a second and looked around. She thought that something felt different, and over time she had learned to trust her instincts, but hey, she was taking a calm shower and nothing was going to bother her. Nope, not a thing could disturb her from her nice, peaceful, relaxing...
She suddenly felt arms around her and tensed completely as Inuyasha held her tightly to him, more or less to calm her now adrenaline surging nerves. She was completely shocked…she didn't even hear the door open.
He began to slowly kiss the junction of her neck, taking the slightest nibble every once in a while. She relaxed slightly and grabbed his arms, but was still recovering slightly from shock. "Inuyasha…what are you doing?" She asked, her breathing a little heavy.
He moved his mouth up by her ear and kissed it. "What's it look like I'm doing?" He purred in her ear.
She couldn't think of anything intelligent to say, so she shrugged. "I dunno."
"Well you're the intelligent person, I'm supposed to be the stupid dog that you make fun of, remember?" He smoothed one hand down her side and she shivered as his hand left a burning trail down her skin. Dogs were not supposed to be able to do that.
She turned in his grip and stared at him with humor. "You do know that you are nude in a shower with me? I just want to make sure you're not hallucinating or anything because I am naked and you are acting..."
He grinned and gripped her waist tightly. "Oh, trust me, Kagome, I know exactly what I'm doing." He smashed his mouth against hers in the most passionate and hungry kiss she guessed anybody else in the world had ever experienced. It was both hot and demanding, and she reacted by gripping his shoulders tightly as if afraid her knees would give under his urgent attention.
Inuyasha worked his hand to the small of her back and the other held the back of her head for the best angle kissing. He slowly backed her up until she leaned against the wall of the shower, carefully pinning her to the wall and moving the hand that was holding her back to her hip. He massaged his fingers into her skin and broke the kiss to go back down to her neck, bracing himself. He purposely bit down hard on the junction of her shoulder and she gasped as her knees gave out. She was easily caught and he wrapped her legs around him while gripping her knees tightly and lapping at the blood.
Kagome held tightly around his neck and snorted in realization after the initial shock wore off. "You jerk! You had that planned! You didn't even warn me that it was going to hurt!"
He kissed her cheek and smirked. "I know that, I didn't tell you because it's better to do it this way."
"You're still a jerk."
"And you're still a bitch." He moved slightly closer to her and she gasped at what she felt on her thigh. "My bitch." He muttered and kissed her deeply. He moved his head slowly down and began to give her breasts the attention they had been dying for since he had first seen them, licking hot trails across her chest.
Kagome closed her eyes and leaned her head back onto the wall of the shower. She bit her bottom lip in an attempt to keep quiet as he ravished her breasts with kisses, licks and nips of all sorts. She knew that he wanted to hear her moan and she was going to make him work for it. By god, she never gave in easily and she wouldn't start now.
Of course, Inuyasha caught onto the game she was playing and knew that he could win. He let go of her legs so that she had to hold herself up by clamping her legs around him tightly. Running a hand up and down her back, he managed to trail a perfect trail down her spine with the tips of his claws and earned something close to a moan but more like a heated gasp. He smirked while sucking on the skin of her neck. I'm getting closer...
Inuyasha was unaware that Kagome had other plans for him. She had an obnoxious look in her eyes as she reached down and gripped him softly, watching his face as he fought to keep it straight but failing miserably. His eyes fluttered shut and he moaned softly, moving his hands back to grip and squeeze her thighs while giving into his defeat. So she won that round…
His hands started to stroke the insides of her thighs while she still held her grip on him. Slowly she caressed him and he leaned his head on her shoulder with a huge sigh. "That is not fair." He muttered. Her actions made it so he couldn't see straight without taking her with such force that he could rip her in half right then and there.
Kagome smirked, using her other hand to rest on his cheek. "You just can't admit that you lost to me."
He looked at her and returned the smirk full on. "I suppose right now I don't really care." He moved closer to her and covered her mouth with his in an almost painfully light kiss. It was more of a display of affection to Kagome and she found it to be interesting. After all, he was giving her extremely passionate kisses a few moments ago, but then again a few minutes ago she didn't have his ego in her hand.
Inuyasha could barely stand it. She still held him and caressed him, while the warm water of the shower rained down on them, and it was going to drive him insane! Only one thing to do…He pried her hand away from him and pinned it on the wall against her face. His other hand held her up so that she wouldn't fall.
He met her eyes with a knowledge that he would hurt her, but she smiled and used her remaining hand to play with his ear. Kissing her to distract her, he pushed into her part of the way before pulling back and thrusting so that he broke her barrier and filled her to the hilt. Inuyasha began to purr slightly and would have smiled if he were listening. Kagome gave him that moan that he wanted while clamping her legs even more tightly around his waist.
She was now effectively pinned between the cold wall of the shower and Inuyasha. As he began to slowly pull in and out she took short gasps at first, then when the pain went away she began to move more with him, encouraging him to speed up just slightly. She ran her hands down the working muscles of his back and kept her head leaned against his shoulder as she moaned. She didn't quite have words for the bliss she felt at the moment, how good she felt with him pounding into her. She just knew that she liked it and didn't want it to stop.
Inuyasha was still going as slow as his sanity would let him, forced to increase every few seconds so he didn't claw her to death. The only noises he made were a few moans and pants every once in a while, trying to avoid anything that would get the neighbors asking questions. He didn't want to have to have to kill anybody for eavesdropping, at least not an innocent bystander who didn't know how to mind their own business. Trust him, he would kill if someone interrupted such a moment.
Kagome bit her lip and held her head up, clawing the hell out of his back. She brushed her cheek against his. "Inuyasha, harder."
He growled softly and moved both hands to her thighs, spreading her wider and pumping harder and deeper into her. He licked her cheek and she shivered, fisting her hands in his hair. She could feel her release creeping closer and closer, especially with the warm water dripping down onto their skin and the noises that Inuyasha was making.
Finally her walls clenched around him as she came and he slowly followed with a few more thrusts into her. She leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes as she attempted to regain her breathing. Inuyasha still panted slightly and removed himself from her, slowly helping her stand on the shower floor but managing to keep her leaning against the wall. He leaned his head on her shoulder and smirked. "We really should come here more often."
Kagome smiled and opened her eyes. "Yea, I seem to have fun when I come here." She laughed and played with his ear. "Did you plan that?"
"No, I decided on the spur of the moment that it sounded like fun." He began kissing her neck with soft butterfly kisses. His voice was muffled against her skin. "Now you'll have to wash off again."
She smirked. "Yea, I know." She began to realize that something was different…not in a bad way, no, something other than that. She could almost tell what Inuyasha was thinking, as if her psychic abilities improved immensely. But she was certain that she knew what he was feeling, as right then he felt content and complete, and very pleased that he had made the choice to join her. It was so vivid and noticeable that she could almost see it like an aura when she focused her Miko powers. Inuyasha seemed to almost glow with a blue, happy color, which in turn made her very happy herself.
Kagome also noticed that in the places where their skin touched, she could feel a soothing wave of relaxation calm her entire body. It became apparent that the closer she was to him, the calmer she'd feel, and that may have been the reason that Inuyasha didn't kill as often when she was around. He didn't feel the need to kill because he didn't get as frustrated. So, problem solved, now all they had to do to stay calm was to use this new bond and hold each other so they could feel the calming ripples of peace flowing through them.
After all, she had read about this in her studies in Japan. She now had a full bond with Inuyasha, and if she was correct, he had marked her as his when he bit down on her neck. She almost widened her eyes when she remembered that no matter what breed you are, human or demon, when a bond is made to another demon your life span increases to a longer and healthier life. She may even live as long as Inuyasha now. Perhaps it was worth the pain of the bite.
Kagome mentally cursed herself for not suspecting something like that to happen. It was a vow of honor in all demons to mark their mates before they mated with them and she had long ago guessed he didn't join her in the shower just to wash off because he was impatient. No, he was way too obnoxious for that and he always had been. She should have seen it coming.
She was brought back to reality when his soap lathered hands lifted her and turned her away from him so he could gently cleanse her backside. She kept her eyes closed as the water beat down on her shoulders and Inuyasha managed to finish the other side so he could start lathering her front. Kagome didn't mind as she was too busy trying to keep from falling over at his relaxing gestures.
"Do you think that Sango will care if I borrow some of her clothes?"
"It's not like she has a say in it anyway, I'm her boss for one thing and if I tell her to share attire she'll do just that. Not to mention I helped pay for some of those clothes." He finished cleansing her and rested his hands on her waist. "Are you planning on leaving soon or something?"
"Well I kinda figured you were, and this isn't your house, it's Miroku's. The war's over, at least for now, so we should be going back soon by my calculations."
"Hmph, by your calculations. I'm the boss around here, I'll tell you when we can leave." She smirked at him as he began to lap at her still bleeding wound.
The ringing of his cell phone was heard ringing in his ears and he growled deeply. He had to answer it, what if it was an emergency? "Damn it to hell, if that's Miroku he's going to feel incredible pain for as long as he lives."
Kagome patted his shoulder before he could open the door. "Go easy on him, I think he might have been mildly curious about what was going on when you hung up on him."
Inuyasha looked towards the ground to ponder what she had said. The hell, how did she know I hung up on him? Before he could ask, the phone's ringing grew more urgent and annoying, so he kissed her quickly and exited the shower. He towel dried himself off and slipped on his pants, towel drying his hair as he left the bathroom.
Kagome continued to wash off in the shower, a light smirk playing over her face. Strangely, she wasn't tired at all. If anything, she felt more energetic than before, and she suspected that Inuyasha felt the same way. She didn't think it made much sense, but then again, she was finding out many things that she didn't know before today.
After washing her hair she turned off her shower and stepped out, wrapping herself in the towel hanging off the side of the shower doors. Funny, Inuyasha's been on the cell phone for a while and I haven't heard him screaming yet. He must be talking to Sango or Shippo. She dried her hair off with a towel that was resting on the floor and walked out into the bedroom, hearing Inuyasha talk in a bored tone in the kitchen. "Hmm…yea, he's probably talking to Sango."
"No, I told you already…we're going to take a while, you can handle the club, you're still the third…I don't care…what do you mean that's not like me?" The entire time he talked he didn't raise his voice, even though he did show annoyance and irritability.
Kagome suppressed a laugh and began to dress in some of Sango's clothes. Her attire was a little different this time, with the black pants a little baggier then what she was used to. Chains criss-crossed in back, both hooking at the hip and then going down on the opposite leg so that when she would walk they would make a louder clinking sound. Her shirt was a skin tight spaghetti strap that clung tightly to her body shape, making her seem even smaller than before. She found more biker gloves in the drawers and a brush on the vanity mirror by the door. She began to put her hair up as Inuyasha walked in and leaned against the doorway.
She stared at herself in the mirror without looking at him. "So what did Sango want?"
"She was just telling me about how the little war went."
Kagome took a small glance out of the corner of her eyes. "Well what did she say?"
"That one of our men died and a couple more, including herself, have obtained injuries."
"Is it serious?" She proceeded to put her hair up but her tone became worried.
"I'm thinking that if we had more time to think about it then maybe there would have been another way out of that mess."
She glanced at him sternly. "What else would they have done, Inuyasha? I told them to do it because it seemed like there wasn't much choice."
"Well what if there were other ways? I'm just saying that maybe there were other ways out without endangering the club members. I told you I was boss and that you should have at least waited for me."
Kagome snorted. "This is stupid, Inuyasha. We shouldn't be having this pointless conversation. I admitted that I was wrong to steal from you and yet you still push to make me feel miserable about it."
"So what? You saying that I'm stupid and that this is all something that I shouldn't have to explain to you even though you disobey me anyway after 'claiming' to know the rules?"
She continued to brush her hair up and didn't look at him as she watched herself in the mirror. "That's not what I meant and you know it. You're just looking for an excuse to battle verbally and throw any intelligence you have at me."
"Look, I'm trying to tell you why other people in my group got killed all the time. They did exactly what you are doing, they didn't listen to me and put themselves and the gang in danger. People like that were usually taken out on the first shot."
"So why don't you kill me?"
"Oh for crying out loud, Kagome, you know better than that! I'm not getting into that again." He ran a gloved hand through his hair. "My point is, if you hadn't told the gang to do that before I had time to think it over then maybe we could have come up with a better solution and make it so that no one else could have gotten hurt."
Kagome stared wide-eyed at him. "So you're pinning this on me?" She finished tying her hair up and pushed passed him in the doorway. "If we had waited for your mind to think of something else then the gang would have died waiting for your commands. They were surrounded, damn it!"
He snorted as he followed her into the living room. "You had better sit down if we're going to argue, you might hurt yourself."
Kagome turned around and remained in the defensive position with her arms crossed tightly under her chest. "Inuyasha, this is ridiculous! So what if I told them to do it? They won, didn't they?"
"Sheesh, Kagome, do we really have to have this conversation again? I told you the rules, and whether you're my mate or not you have to listen." He sat down in the a chair with his back against the arm and a leg over the other arm.
"I…" She looked down. Did he just say, mate? I knew I was his, but to go as far as mate… hmm…oh, no duh, Kagome, he marked your shoulder. "Am I really considered your mate now, Inuyasha?"
He sighed deeply and stretched in the chair, sitting on it as if it were a malformed futon. "I thought you studied this crap, Kagome. You claimed you did, that's how you knew I was Hanyou."
"I did, I did…" She stared down at the floor and tapped her chin with the forefinger with the hand that was covering it. "I don't remember everything, I'm not exactly as intelligent as I lead on to be."
Inuyasha suppressed a laugh at Kagome admitting that she was wrong about something, but the smirk went through his mask. "Sweetie, are you feeling ok?" He ducked from the oncoming book flying at his face and smirked. "Yep, I guess you are."
"Will you stop calling me that?" She glared at him while he just sat there looking mildly amused, still smoothing his hands through his hair.
"It irritates you, that's why I do it."
"That's rude and insensitive Inuyasha."
"Ah yes, I forgot my manners as I am The King of Politeness."
She snorted. "The King of the dogs is more like it."
"Woman, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm dog DEMON, not half dog, DOG DEMON, got it yet?"
"The only thing that stops me from 'understanding' your point of view are the very adorable yet mildly irritating DOG EARS on your head!" She walked over to the laptop on the counter and pulled it out of its case. She then stormed back over to the couch in front of his chair and sat down with her feet propped up on the coffee table.
"It's not my fault my dad was a DOG demon, Kagome. I can't help the card I was dealt just like you couldn't until I stole you away from it all. All I can do is play it to my advantage."
She sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Damn…You're right, I'm sorry."
He put a hand over his mouth in a shocked form. "Kagome is admitting she's sorry?! What's next, Miroku through with groping women? Sango no longer being the scary bitch she is when she's angry!"
Kagome smiled softly and threw the pillow next to her at him. "You should be happy I'm saying sorry at all. I don't apologize for just anyone, Inuyasha."
"So what makes me special?"
"Oh, I don't know, I guess I just think you're too cute to deny." She turned on her computer and began typing into her diary, hoping with all the corners of her soul that her father never read any of it before he died.
"Cute isn't exactly the angle I shoot for."
Kagome shrugged. "You said so yourself, you can't help what you are." She beamed at him and continued typing. "So when are we leaving?"
"You seem eager to leave, Kagome."
She shrugged. "I'm just wondering when I should have all my stuff ready to go. And I might need a new leather coat…"
"Well I still have all the ones that you looked at before, but if you must be a picky bitch about it I'll buy you a different one."
"I'm not a picky bitch, when am I a picky bitch?"
"Hey, Sango's a picky bitch and that's why I got stuck with all those damn coats. I didn't say you were one, but if you were thinking of being one then I'll buy you a different coat."
Kagome smiled slightly. "Well, that's nice of you, but I'm sure that I did like some of those other coats." She continued typing and Inuyasha, finally getting curious, stood up and sat beside her on the couch to see what she was doing.
Kagome didn't move as she viewed her email box out of curiosity to see if she still got any. Her eyes were wide to discover that she had hundreds of unread email messages, most of them having to do with friends wanting to know if she was alright and junk from all sorts of places. She even had a few from her father. "Holy shit…"
Inuyasha's eyebrows furrowed as he pointed to one of the messages. "Who's that?" He asked carefully. The message was from anonymous and the title was strange, saying 'have they found you out yet, Kagome Higurashi?' To him, the message gave him a funny feeling, and he wasn't sure he liked it. Her curiosity now got the better of her too, and she opened the email to read it.
It read:
Dear Kagome Higurashi:
My, my, aren't we being the sneaky little bitch? The police are even rash enough to believe that you are dead, although I could beg to differ on that part.
You are very much alive, Higurashi, but you should have died after I clawed out your stomach.
And wherever you and Inuyasha hid this time, it will not be long before you are found and killed. Trust me on that, I have made your death's my goal in life. Kikyo has made hers making you as miserable as humanly possible.
Since you were eluding yesterday we couldn't find you, and I know you are not at the club because Inuyasha didn't use one of his special attacks to attempt to take down all my men. I couldn't hear a single motorcycle in the city after you escaped, meaning that either Inuyasha is a quicker little shit than I thought or you are not even in the city anymore. You might not even be in the state for all I care, but no matter where you are in the country, you had better watch your back.
And another thing…when you leave your room door open, people will see that someone has been in there, like I took the liberty to notice. You should leave it the way it was found if you don't want to get caught, and it would be wise not to drop any more blood on the carpet in your father's room. I see that you even took your time and robbed your father's safe. How very convenient, as you didn't leave anything of value behind.
Start counting down, because the end of your life is slowly coming. I hope you're prepared, as Kikyo is going to rain acid rain on your parade.
Sincerely,
Sesshomaru
Kagome gaped at the screen. "That intolerable bastard! He went into my house!" She prepared to hit the reply button but Inuyasha grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"Don't email him back, Kagome, he could have technology to locate us through the email system. And if for some reason he was stupid enough to take that to the police, they'd know you were alive and continue searching for you." His voice was his normal tone, but his expression said he'd also love nothing more than to write all the insults he could think of back at his bastard brother.
Kagome relaxed slightly at his touch and leaned back more into the couch. "So you're saying he did this on purpose?"
"Exactly. He thought you would be stupid and reply or intelligent and take it without verbally hurting him back. Save this email to a folder and keep track of it, just in case." She did as she was told and they both went back to the list, Kagome checking off the one's she wanted to read and the ones that she would have to so they weren't deleted. After that little email, though, she was sure she didn't want to read some of the ones from her friends.
"Alright, I'm done." Kagome closed her laptop and put it on the coffee table, standing and walking into the kitchen for a drink. Inuyasha stood and took a short glance at the clock before walking into the bedroom to retrieve his shirt, coat and shoes.
"Want some wine, Inuyasha?" Kagome hollered out.
"You're not going to have more than two glasses, just so you know." He stated, putting his shirt and weapons on. He could hear Kagome's exasperated sigh and smirked.
"As long as I get something to drink, I guess not. Do you want some or not?"
"A glass would do nicely, I suppose." He moved his gun into place and almost rolled his eyes. It was a pain in the ass to be so dangerous and haul around all these weapons all the time. It was so much easier taking them off than putting them back on.
Kagome arrived in the room with his glass as he was putting on his coat and gloves. "In a couple of minutes, maybe we should get back to the club. It's not that I don't like spending time alone with you…" She countered quickly. "It's just that I'm worried about Sango and I want to have a look at her wound."
"It's nothing serious, you know. Just a scrape on the shoulder."
"The only one who could have shot Sango was Rin. You said she was alive, right?" She took a large swig of her wine and sighed deeply. Rin worried her a little.
"Yea, Rin's alive, and Sango and her were at it from a few feet away. They could have blown each other's heads off in an instant if they were careful about it." He tipped his glass into his mouth and drank all the liquid in one swig. He smirked at Kagome's cocked eyebrow. "I love not being able to get drunk."
Kagome crossed her arms and glared at him. "I hate you." She said coldly.
"I'm sure."
"Hurry up and let's go!" She looked down. "Hey, wait, how are we getting back?"
"Gee, Kagome, I was hoping you thought of something."
She glared at him. "You cocky bastard, how are we getting back?"
"My limo's busy at the minute, so Sango and Miroku are going to bring a couple of motorcycles and we're going to ride back. After yesterday's chase, I realized how much I missed riding them and I figured we could do it more often." He set his glass down on the vanity chest and looked at himself in the mirror, running his fingers through his long hair carefully.
Kagome shrugged and chugged the rest of her drink, setting down the glass and sitting on the floor so she could put on her boots. "Just do me a favor and don't kill anybody on our way home today. I don't have a coat that could hide much body figure and witnesses could blab a little too much info to the cops."
"Sango's got coats here. Just take one you like, it's not like she uses them anymore."
Kagome finished putting on her boots and shrugged. "Ok, but if I get bitched at then you take the blame."
"If you get bitched at then tell her to shut the hell up because you're the second and she's only the third."
Kagome laughed shortly. "Inuyasha, Sango's my friend. I don't like being mean to my friends."
"That's never stopped you before when you argue with me." He stated, turning around and pulling all of the coats out of the closet.
"You're not my friend, you're more than that, and that gives me an excuse to argue with you all the time."
"Hmph." He threw her a coat that looked very similar to the one she had worn before. "Here, this coat looks like yours, maybe Sango won't be able to tell the difference."
"Thanks." He walked over to her coat on the floor and picked it up, taking the guns out of the pockets and everything else on the inside. When he walked back over to her, he helped her stand and put the coat on, then put the guns in the pocket for her.
When she was all ready, she looked like the gangster she had become. She had to admit though that next to Inuyasha, she looked really good. So as she stood there, she turned around and hugged him tightly while he eagerly returned the hold.
His hand wrapped around the small of her back and the other went up to curl around her shoulder and push her head closer to him. She had both arms wrapped tightly around his chest and closed her eyes. "I wasn't happy until I met you, Inuyasha." She stated quietly, and he smiled slightly.
"Yea, same here. I even went softer when you came around." He kissed the top of her head softly and let his ears twitch with the sound of motorcycles outside. He sighed deeply. Damn it, those two always pick the worst times to show up or call.
Inuyasha pulled her back slightly and gave her a chaste kiss. "The two dipshits are here, so let's get out of here."
She nodded and walked out of his arms into the living room to put away her computer. Inuyasha put his sunglasses on over his eyes and opened the door to Sango and Miroku still on the bikes arguing like no one's business. She was screaming at him and he was trying his hardest not to yell, even though it was obviously not working.
Inuyasha scratched his head until Kagome came outside and joined him. She sighed deeply and handed him her computer so she could walk over there. "Miroku, Sango, knock it off! Act your damn age, not your IQ." That certainly got their attention.
"Kagome, are you alright?" Sango asked quietly.
Kagome raised her arms. "I'm here, aren't I?"
Miroku stared at her. "Were you completely sane yesterday?"
"You mean was I aware of what I was doing?" He nodded and she shrugged. "I knew what I was doing but I wasn't sure why I was doing it."
"Good, then care to tell me how you got out of that apartment and learned Inuyasha's combination?"
Kagome looked around and laughed nervously, as Inuyasha appeared right behind her with the same curiosity on his face. "Shit, what is this, the first degree?"
Inuyasha snorted. "Yes." He stated, and Kagome gave him the 'thanks a lot' look while he just smirked.
"Ok, fine, I watched Inuyasha type in the combination and as soon as I woke up from my dream I got up and grabbed my stuff, then walked over to the door and left. It wasn't hard at all."
They all sat there quietly puzzling that for a moment then shrugged it off. Sango got off her bike and climbed on with Miroku. "Well, let's get back to the club before we are spotted."
"I'm surprised with all that racket you two were creating that a crowd didn't form right beside you on the street." Kagome stated blandly as Inuyasha strapped her laptop down again and climbed on the bike.
"Sango and I had a little disagreement about something."
Kagome muttered "Obviously." Inuyasha just stared at them while she climbed onto his bike and held on tightly. "About?" He suppressed a smile at the feeling of her so close and focused on the question he asked them.
Miroku and Sango blushed considerably and took off on the bike without answering him. Inuyasha snorted and took off after them. "And they say I'm rude, I ask them a question and they avoid it."
Kagome gripped his shoulders tightly. "Perhaps they don't want us to know?" She asked.
"Well of course not, but since they're keeping it a secret I want to know about it."
Kagome smirked and realized something. "Hey, why aren't we wearing helmets?"
"Because dumb and dumber up there forgot them. Don't worry about it, if the cops try to stop us they'll get it."
"But they can recognize me."
"Bury your face in my back, then. If you keep your head away from public no one will see you." Kagome complied and they rode out carefully all the way to the club. After parking in the garage Inuyasha stood and brought Kagome with him. "Come on, let's go."
She grabbed her laptop and followed, managing to catch Sango while Inuyasha and Miroku walked ahead into the club and slammed the door. "Alright, Sango, what were you two arguing about?" She made sure the men were out of the room.
Sango smirked and blushed again. "Trust me, Kagome, you don't want to know."
"You have no idea how much I want to know, now spill it." Kagome stated dangerously.
Sango put a hand on her mouth and avoided Kagome's eyes. "So where did you two end up doing it, in the shower or in the guest bedroom?"
Kagome gaped at her. "Sango…you were arguing about something like that? WHY!"
"Because…" Sango nearly broke down into laughter. "Because Inuyasha never turned off the cell phone, he just closed it and threw it on the couch."

(A/N-The next chapter will take a while to be put up because I'm going on vacation for a while. Please be patient, I was nice enough to post this while I was still at home so you all could have something to read over the weekend. Heh, this is a little weirder than I usually do for this story, but I had to have some humor and the lemon was requested. There you go! I gave it to you!)
As always, continue reviewing because I love it when I get requests and questions!
