Thank you for the reviews! There were a few things that I have to straighten out, first, so here it goes.
I will write for you another lemon, but do not flame me for anything happening in this chapter. I haven't really had a flame yet, and I appreciate it, but everything I do in this story does serve a purpose.
Miroku and Sango are a couple, and I apologize for not showing it that much. I will start doing that from now on. But my proof is the blue eye statement when Miroku talked about his vision, and right after Kagome killed Kikyo, when Inuyasha and Miroku were discussing things in his office and he decided to embarrass Miroku by telling him that he could hear every time that he had sex with Sango. You remember (^_^) that one
About Miroku's vision, I didn't really think out yet what exactly was in it, but he didn't meet Sango until he had it. It was like a form of destiny that all mystical people are supposed to go through.
And I do enjoy lemons very much, don't get me wrong, but it's hard for me to write them and I'm not very good at it. I try, I guess, and that's all that matters.
Anyway, if you have anymore questions, please let me know in your reviews.

Chapter 18-A world against us
Sesshomaru stood in his office near the office desk, waiting for his new second to come and explain the new situation at hand. He had been waiting for way too long in his opinion. Growling softly in his wait, he decided to spend this time pondering to himself, since Kouga was never on time anymore, anyway. He'd have more than enough time to think.
Out of his white robes he pulled the knife he had swiped out of Naraku's limo. His normally emotionless face showed interest in the sharp blade as it rested like an antique in his hands. I still don't understand it. Such a little woman, a Miko nonetheless, managed to kill Naraku. With this very blade. But her Miko abilities would have obliterated him had she used them. So why didn't she?
Naraku had a reputation of being invincible, many of his enemies had tried to destroy him but they ended up dying themselves. They would stab him, slash him, shoot him, but nothing ever worked. He seemed completely immortal. But all his enemies that had died trying to defeat him were demons, demons without any sort of burning energy that could melt metal.
Kagome had been human, a FEMALE Miko human nonetheless. Even then, though, she somehow killed him without her Miko abilities.
"Hmm…perhaps I underestimated that little wench." His gaze never left the skull hilted knife. He should have been more cautious of her when she destroyed Kikyo, but he had thought it was Miko's luck. Now that she destroyed a demon that seemed more invincible than him, he had began to think of a more effective way to destroy her and Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru, being a demon in all, was naturally curious about things like this. "But Naraku always stripped his enemies of weapons. Where could she have hidden this that he wouldn't have looked?"
He sighed and skillfully folded the knife back into his robes. That little bitch won't know what hit her when I get a hold of her. Then I'll destroy her despicable mate and put his head up on a post at my club.
But the demon growled softly to himself at another thought. This all had become way too complicated. Kagome went from despicable, useless wench to fairly powerful Miko, to the scariest son of a bitch he had ever thought a human to be. With her constant changing in status, he wondered if he could handle her after all.
He couldn't afford to keep underestimating her. It could mean his demise, perhaps even in the same form as Naraku.
He had to be rid of her. He was sick of worrying about her all the time, sick of wondering what plots her and her half demon mate were trying to force him into. He was one of the only full demons in the city left, and as the rumor in his club had it, Inuyasha and that bitch were out for every last ounce of demon blood they could find. If he were all that was left, then they would be making their attempts to bring him down very soon.
Sesshomaru growled. THAT was making him look and sound bad. Much worse than what his reputation as the leading gangster could afford.
Of course Kouga was the other person that Inuyasha and Kagome wanted dead, but to him that just showed more weakness in his club. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and there were plenty of times when he wondered if Kouga was all he lead on to be, which proved him by the instinct to be the weakest link. It used to be that the chain was only Sesshomaru, and until he was taken down it couldn't be broken, but in the butt of the rumors in New York he was already the weakest chain. The one that all the gangs in the country would be after now that his threat was somewhat diminished. He now rested at the bottom.
And that stupid bitch put him there, making his brother look like much more of a threat than he could tolerate.
Inuyasha tended to use scare tactics as a way of making himself seem more ferocious. Sesshomaru was simply heartless, and once you got on his bad side you found that out. No one had been able to escape the wrath of his claws.
No one, that is, except for Inuyasha and Kagome.
Sesshomaru snorted. He was obsessing now. This wasn't like him at all and now he cursed to the seven brinks of hell that he had a naturally curious side to his demon. He wouldn't stop until his questions were answered, or until he had both of their heads in a basket. He began to think of more effective ways for them both to die.
Perhaps he could suffocate the bitch in her sleep…
No, then Inuyasha would feel her discomfort and come to her rescue, possibly destroying me before I can even hope to tear my claws out of her neck. No, taking them down one at a time is out.
Maybe he could shoot them down…
No, because Inuyasha has been the best at getting out of things like that since he was a kid. He could take down the entire gang with one machine gun cartridge if he's allowed even an inch. And he was always good at spotting his inches…Sesshomaru had never seen that Miko bitch with a gun, however, but what she could do with her hands was probably enough to destroy his men if it were enough to destroy Kikyo.Perhaps gas would take them out?
Psh, don't kid yourself, they both have instincts that would assist them, for one thing. For another, gas never insured the death of anyone, especially an egotistical half demon with his temperamental bitch.
He was jolted out of his thoughts when Kouga suddenly burst through the door, announcing his entrance in the rudest way possible. If he weren't a demon, Fluffy would have taken him down a long time ago for his rudeness. "Knock, Kouga, and I'll be less likely to rip your throat out."
Kouga seemed a little disturbed, but that didn't stop him from answering respectfully to the only person that gave him a satisfactory position in the gang. "I'm sorry, sir, it'll never happen again."
"See that it doesn't." Sesshomaru growled and stared right at him. "Well?"
He sighed deeply, readying himself. "She survived, sir, Inuyasha saved her."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at him rather crudely. "And how did that bastard find her in time? She should have been dead by the time that he got there, Naraku would have never allowed her to be traced and more than likely didn't have them automatically on his tail. She left enough blood to soak through the floors of that vehicle."
Kouga nodded. "That's what's puzzling, we have no idea how he found her so fast. Judging by all that blood loss, though, she would have been dead long before the police got there. Yet right now she's completely healed like nothing happened."
"The bond explains that, wolf. I just want to know his method of locating her. Nothing in their bond could have resulted in that."
Kouga looked down at his claws. "I'll find out for you, but it may take me a while. Give me a little time."
That's too easy, Kouga. "I'll give you one week, wolf, but I want to know the secret by then or you're in trouble."
"Yes sir." And with that, he turned heal and left.
Sesshomaru's thoughts didn't cease. He twisted around and sat ungracefully in his office chair, resting his chin in his hand as he thought carefully.
Kagome had been a curious object to him since she was a child. When her father had first began working with secret organizations and caught his attention, he had made it a goal to know everything about anyone that she knew and cared deeply for. What he thought Kagome was had been completely off the charts, and as it would seem, she turned out to be quite the little twisted vixen herself, dragging his bastard brother along with her and seemingly increasing his powers. Inuyasha had been scary before, but the two of them together definitely meant destruction for him if he couldn't find a way to stop that wench.
Sesshomaru's eyes flashed open and a sly, rare grin splayed on his face when realization hit. Kagome was definitely no Kikyo, but the two of them sometimes thought alike. Perhaps that would be her downfall; her thoughts were so similar to Kikyo's (except for Kikyo's insanity), and he knew to an extent about her thought patterns. The one thing they had in common was fear of being found, although after a short period of time Kikyo's diminished as she slowly lost her mind.
Surely Kagome was like another mystery, just a small puzzle that could be solved in the blink of an eye. If the Miko thought patterns were basically the same, then he could estimate an action when something happened to her. Of course, just as long as Inuyasha stayed out of his way or went down with her, then everything would work out as wished. She'd make a mistake one of these days, and he'd make her pay painfully for all the worry and time he had wasted on her.
He knew what Kagome feared most, and in that fear Inuyasha couldn't help her. He knew the one way to bring them both down, without having to dirty his hands on Inuyasha. Getting them separated, and possibly getting Inuyasha killed at gunpoint, then going in and killing her himself when she wasn't protected by the only person who truly cared about her.
Yes…that would suffice nicely.
He pulled out his cell phone and started making phone calls. He had planning to do, and it would pay off greatly for him in the end.
That would be her demise…and that Hanyou bastard of a mate would go down, too. Nothing would stand in his way, especially if it meant that his reputation would be fully restored to the most dangerous demon in the country.
Inuyasha certainly didn't deserve that title…
*~*~*^_^*~*~*
"Inuyasha, hold still, damn it!" Kagome continued to remove his weapons slowly while she sat on his waist in the middle of the hallway. He continued to fidget underneath her, trying to figure out why she had planned on doing this at the moment. To him, it didn't seem like the time or place.
Even though he was in the wrong position, it wasn't like he was complaining…much.
He glared up at her and growled softly. "What are you doing this for now?!"
"I feel like it, now shut the hell up!" After a small argument she had pulled a move on him so that he would cooperate, and because he wasn't prepared for her to take such action, he suddenly found himself pinned to the floor by an unusually strong human woman like it was routine for her.
Typical…the exact same move that he saw her pull on Sango had dragged him down as well. Kagome was really getting good at that…
She had effectively knocked the wind out of him, and when he realized what she was up to he made sure to struggle slightly. He wasn't used to being the one that sat still.
It was a full out dominance war as she tugged on his weapon strap, attempting to remove it so that the rest of his outfit would be easier to remove. And she was doing it like it was normal to after a small, harmless argument.
Inuyasha had no idea what had put her in this mood (or why he was complaining), but she wasn't about to win the role of dominatrix.
"Oh no you don't, bitch." He stated slyly, bringing one leg up and around her chest, forcing her on the ground with a loud thump on the floor. He moved quickly so that he had her in the same position, only with her wrists pinned none too softly above her head.
He leaned forward to smirk down at her. "Now then, care to explain to me why you think you are the dominant one in this relationship?"
Kagome grinned. This was a fight that would never be finished. "Because, my bastard friend, I'm simply better than you at everything."
"Well then…" He began unbuttoning her coat with a skilled one hand. He wasn't going to argue with what Kagome had begun, after all, he felt it would be a good idea. Besides, her struggle for the dominant role always excited him, although he would never admit it in his head because she would use it against him somehow.
"Start listing the things you think you're better at." He never slowed down from his task, and her still protesting legs continued to make it harder to think about the conversation at hand. He secured his knees tightly around her hips and used his ankles to help pin hers down, preventing her from moving anymore.
"Oh for Pete's sake…alright, let's see, I'm a better archer, better sensor, better reader, better problem solver, better leader, better arguer for sure…"
"And a better screamer." He added as he managed to pull her coat off.
"That too, and…what the…hey!" She glared accusingly at him when he started ripping the seams of her shirt with his claws. It wasn't even her shirt, but as her protests grew he continued more vigorously and pulled it completely off of her. Kagome knew he loved a challenge, and now he was more turned on than ever.
And there wasn't a damn thing that she could do about it, either. Now he was in the mood, too. HE was in control.
"You jerk, that's Sango's shirt!"
"Does it really look like I give a shit?" He stated and smirked wickedly, bringing up his claws in preparation to rip her bra off her body.
"Don't do that!" She glared at him and weakly protested while he rolled his eyes creatively.
"Boy, aren't we the odd one today."
"Hey pal, if you scratch me you'll have a hell of an earache."
"You're enough of a pain in my ass, anyway, why not add to that?" He bent down and viciously attacked her collarbone with his mouth, stalling the protests in her head for the time being. That is, until she realized what he was doing.
Inuyasha knew the most sensitive spots, and he was attacking them in general, which brought the protests right back up again.
"Inuyasha, you bastard…" She gasped as he nipped at her neck, succeeding in ripping her bra off in the same manner as the shirt without her noticing.
"Hey bitch, you might want to watch what you say. I'm the one in control, you remember that." He continued on his work while feeling Kagome think it over. She began to grow arrogant and another dominance fight would probably break out, possibly ending in him having to prove to her who was boss.
None of that mattered, he was the dominatrix and she would just have to get used to it.
She tried to get her wrists back, but Inuyasha would have none of it. "Stop struggling Kagome…" He purred, biting down on her neck hard enough to freeze her but that she didn't bleed. One quick nip and her entire body seemed frozen and rendered useless, as if that one spot controlled every nerve in her body.
Now he had more time to finish this task, and hopefully without all the interruptions and escape attempts this time.
She sighed in defeat after attempting to move her legs and relaxed completely against the floor. She glared up at him and blew bangs out of her face. "I hate you." She stated slightly.
Satisfied that she was actually admitting defeat, he grinned. "Only because I'm the best. Now hold still." He kissed her deeply, slowly letting her hands go and allowing her to move them around his head, pulling him closer. He took the role seriously this time, though, and if she tried to move her hands anywhere below his shoulders he'd growl and nip her skin as a fair warning. She'd then sigh with exasperation and put her hands back where they belonged. Or where he thought they belonged, anyway.
He pulled back as he began slowly removing the rest of her clothing, never taking his gaze away from her face. "So what was the vision about?"
Kagome grinned while he basically undressed her like a mother would a young child. Now here was something that he couldn't force her to do. She'd be difficult while he tried to make conversation. Heh, perfect plan… "What vision?"
Inuyasha growled and glared down at her. "What do you mean, what vision? The vision that scared the shit out of me!"
"I don't remember any vision." She stated, sticking her nose in the air. He sighed deeply and focused on pulling her pants off, making sure to toss them as far as he could into the bedroom.
"Why aren't you telling me? You know I'll just beat the monk up for it later."
She sighed. Ah, damn, I forgot about that. "He's more frightened of me, Inuyasha, he won't tell you because it's an invasion of privacy."
"That don't matter, if he's scared for his own hide then he'll do like I tell him."
"I don't want you to know right now, can't you live with that?"
He snorted and gave her a strange look. "Let's think hard about that one, Kagome." He reached down to remove the last article of clothing but Kagome smacked his hand and sat up so that she could remove his. With a frustrated sigh, he allowed her to work, but he wouldn't put it to rest.
"Come on, talk to me. Is it somehow related to your mood?"
Kagome laughed slightly and her eyes shone brightly while she finished by removing his pants for him. "Maybe, I'll tell you that it would be a great thing indeed, but not at the moment because we still have Kouga and Fluffy to deal with." She glanced down at him and cocked an eyebrow. "I have a question…"
He smirked. "Yea?"
"Don't get cocky with this question, but do you ever wear underwear or do you like going commando?"
He chuckled and brought her closer so that he could slowly plant kisses on her jawbone. "No, underwear is too constricting. I don't wear them or boxers unless I have to, and I don't see anybody who's going to make me."
"I don't think anyone has ever made you do something you didn't want to do." She stated, slowly inducing a torturous rub on his ears.
He purred softly and shook her hands off, eyeing her carefully. "Now I have a question for you."
"Ok…"
"What's with the mood?"
Kagome laughed and touched his cheek lightly with her palm. "Maybe I felt, even if I didn't listen to you, that I needed a reward for beating the shit out of Naraku, too. I did that without my Miko powers, and all I had gotten from you was a headache and some boundaries. Not to mention the more frequent arguments that we've been having…"
Inuyasha purred again and kissed her deeply, allowing her to move her hands back up to his ears. He moved his hands to the back of her knees and pulled them around his waist, then moved one hand to her lower back, lowering her to the ground. He had to admit, this was certainly an interesting spot in the home, but she was the one who had chosen it and he wasn't going to argue.
Kagome puzzled him at times, even more so lately when her eyes became that lovely blue. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life, but he knew that those eyes had something to do with her actions and attitude. It seemed to cause her more strength and a fierier gaze, and the arguments they had lately were more heated and verbally abusive.
Inuyasha would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it, and even her intelligent mind needed a healthy argument to function correctly. It was like a way to relieve stress, and Inuyasha had done it that way all his life. It was how they both got so good at it.
In the old days, an intelligent person would have annoyed him because they in likeness were like his brother. They would have infuriated him with large words that he didn't know and didn't care to know, and in the end he would kill them because he would let all the rage get to him. Sure, he could always outwit them even if they used large confusing words, but it still angered him to no end. It was pathetic at times. Only Sango at that time had been close enough to a good arguer that he would actually enjoy.
But then came Kagome, and even though he despised her at first, he couldn't bring himself to get rid of her. Her intelligence was some what based on her schooling; she argued just like he did because it was what she had done all her life to stay on top. He loved a challenge, and what he loved the most was how sometimes she managed to anger him greatly or render him speechless. He didn't know why he enjoyed it, but he did, and he knew that she was a person he would care about all his life. He'd never be able to find anyone else like her in the world.
And here she was, right beneath him while he prepared to make love to her.
She grabbed a lock of his hair and tugged. "Hey, I think you owe me three words."
He snorted and decided that cocky was all he wanted to be at the moment. "Please be quiet?"
Kagome made a noise, as if suppressing her laughter, but became arrogant again and furrowed her eyebrows. "You bastard, you know what I'm talking about."
"Yea, I know, but I wanted to see you squirm." He leaned more into her, putting his arms underneath her shoulders to brush against her hair. He planted a kiss near her ear. "Ok, ok…I love you, Kagome Higurashi."
She smirked in satisfaction and rubbed the bottom of his ear. "I love you too, and thank you for not being a smartass that time."
Inuyasha chuckled softly before kissing her deeply. He entered her all at once, not being quite as rough as he would have liked to be, but more forceful than the first time. Of course, this time was much different, he wasn't afraid of hurting her like he was that time. And it was a lot less stressful on his part since he didn't have to prop her up against a wall.
He set a low rhythm and listened to her moans as they brushed his ears. He kissed her neck, her shoulders, anything that he didn't have to strain to reach with the pace that he had set. After a moment she had wrapped her legs around his hips to pull him in deeper, and found that with that action she had dug her nails even more into his shoulders. But even with him so close to her and his slow pace going easy on her, it wasn't enough.
Kagome reached up and gripped his cheek, forcing him to stare at her with his lust filled eyes. "Harder, Inuyasha, faster."
Giving her a toothy grin, he bent down, gave her a quick chaste kiss, and locked his fangs onto her shoulder as he sped up the pace. One hand gripped her shoulder and the other moved to her hip, helping to hold her in place as he moved harder, as well. For some reason, Inuyasha had to make a mental note to argue with Kagome more often if it would result in this sort of thing. He rather enjoyed it after the adrenaline rush of a great conversation that usually ended with neither talking to each other.
Kagome closed her eyes as pure bliss once again took over her, Inuyasha soon following. He basically collapsed on top of her, using her breasts as pillows while holding her possessively to him. Something told him he should hold her like this forever, but his stupid brain didn't need to tell him unnecessary things while he calmed himself. He wanted to be left alone by everything so that he could rest in this spot forever.
Kagome's hands wound in his hair and kept his head held down while soothingly rubbing his scalp. "Inuyasha…"
"Yea?"
"Is it just me, or…"
"You have a strange feeling, too?" He asked, almost bored. Kagome stilled for a moment before resuming her ministrations.
"I can't figure it out…it's strange. I'm not sure I like it, either."
"I think something may be happening with Fluffy." Inuyasha's ears twitched as he raised his head to look his mate in the eyes.
"That sounds about right."
"Well, I suppose we need to go and get dressed in case he's trying to pull something."
She nodded and as he slowly stood up, she allowed herself to be hauled to her feet. Quickly retrieving her clothes, she put them on and rolled her eyes when a fully clothed Inuyasha gave her the 'what the hell took you so long?' look as he waited for her against a wall. He then grabbed her hand and led her back downstairs, forgetting all about the little 'vision' that he wanted to know about so much.
*~*~*^_^*~*~*
Inuyasha and Kagome sat in his office, both in very uncomfortable stances. Kagome leaned against the wall, tapping her finger impatiently against her forearm while one leg was propped up against the wall. Inuyasha sat on his desk with his feet resting in the rolling chair. He almost seemed angry by the expression on his face, but Kagome knew that he was much calmer after spending time with her in the complex.
They waited, but for what? They didn't know what to do other than wait and find out because they had no idea what the feeling was related to. If it were actually something, then somebody would eventually come and tell them. In the mean time, they didn't move from their spots, and the only sounds they made were their breaths of frustration and patience.
Kagome looked up at the ceiling for what had probably been the hundredth time that hour and sighed. Nothing would happen if they sat here and waited for it. If they did something, it wouldn't take nearly as long to figure out what it was. She knew exactly what to do to pass the time, and she knew that it would make them both feel better.
So…
Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and stood in front of him, crossing her arms and eyeing him carefully. "We can't just sit here, Inuyasha, we have to do something."
"What do you propose we do that we haven't already?"
She rolled her eyes. "Advice to you; take your head out of your ass every once in a while. It makes everything more clear…"
He sighed. "Don't get me started, Kagome, I really don't want to argue right now."
"Well can't you see something from my point of view every once in a while? All I've ever done is listen to you."
He snorted. "LISTEN TO ME? Honey, I can't see anything but you anymore because you're always up in my face with something completely stupid! You can't ever understand why I protect you so well, or why I set up boundaries for you! Do you realize that even with the boundaries and guarding, you've almost died three times? Think about it!"
She huffed and got closer. "That's all I ever do! I think, think, think just like you tell me to, but nothing ever changes my mind and it never will! All I ask is for a little more freedom!"
"And all I ask is for you to understand! That's not that hard, is it? I thought you were intelligent."
"I thought you were just being an ass, but I think that you fit the bastard category much better!"
He snorted. "Right, sure Kagome, and like a crown doesn't belong on your head for the title of the Queen of Bitchery."
"I may be a bitch, but I think about things half the time, and I liked being able to do whatever I wanted to whenever I needed to! I feel like a hostage, one that doesn't ever get to do anything and has to have a constant babysitter!"
"Would you rather be with your dad, Kagome? Would you rather still be in that boring life with nothing else to do but argue for other's rights?"
She was quiet, but didn't back down. This wasn't supposed to get so intense, but now that it was there she didn't want to admit defeat. She managed to look him in the eyes with a glint that told him clearly that he was winning.
"Kagome, come on, you would never want that life back. You would have been taken by my brother and used like trash to get his way, and in the end you would have still ended up loosing your father."
"Stop it, Inuyasha." She stated, now not being able to meet his eyes.
"I can't, Kagome, not until you see. I don't care how painful it can be; you have to realize that just because you want the cards to be replayed doesn't mean that it'll ever happen. You'll never get your dad back and I'll never have my mother. I'm all you have, and you me, do you hear me? I can't risk loosing you, and I won't dare to."
Kagome looked up to him with pain filled eyes and sighed deeply. "Damnit…" It was clear that in the past, she might have cried about this, but she managed to keep it in check while admitting her defeat. "Alright, you win, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha reached forward and pulled her into a tight hug. "I won't keep you as a prisoner forever, Kagome. When Kouga and Fluffy are taken care of, then we'll put this all behind us and live like we're supposed to."
She smiled against his chest. "I'd like that, Inuyasha."
"Good." He grinned. Ha! She actually admitted that I was right!
Before anything else could be said, Inuyasha's cell phone sang with the annoying buzzing sound that he usually loathed hearing. He stood, still with Kagome in his arms, and answered it about as well as usual. "WHAT the hell do you want?"
"Houston, we have a problem…" Miroku's voice came over the phone.
"What do you mean, monk?"
"Fluffy really got you good this time, bud. He one-upped you real good…"
"If you don't start making sense, I'll beat whatever sense you have left out of you."
Miroku sighed. "Listen carefully. Our sources have been monitoring Fluffy dearest for the past twenty-four hours without him escaping the view of the camera. We were watching him carefully…well…"
"SPIT it OUT, damn it!"
"He's ratted you out to the cops, Inuyasha. They now know that Kagome's alive, and in your hands, and there's even photographic evidence. How that was obtained, we don't know, but you've been found out, my friend…and Fluffy has them believing it's a hostage situation."
Inuyasha paled and hung his mouth open in disbelief. The police knew that Kagome was alive. They knew that she was well and in the hands of the most dangerous gangster in all of New York. Now they would have an excuse to hunt him down and get him at gunpoint…if they could manage to separate them, that is.
WHY! Why did they seem to want Kagome and him miserable? Fate had already decided them as mates, so why destroy the happiness they found in each other? What was so wrong with being with each other?
Inuyasha started to worry Kagome as she watched his face. It hadn't changed, and with the horrified expression, she was guessing that it was the worst possible thing that could happen at the moment. Of course, there were several of those kinds of things…
Miroku cleared his throat. "Inuyasha?"
"I'm here." He said quietly.
"What do we do?"
"I…I don't know…Kami, what can we do?"
"We're not sure, Inuyasha…it seems fairly hopeless. If they think it's a hostage situation, they'll try to bring you down once and for all. They'll be no way to stop them once they get an army marching up the doorstep."
He sighed and began to rub his temples. This is SO not happening…I have to be dreaming… "What about running?"
"You're not one to run, Inuyasha, and you never have been. Where would you go?"
"Damn it, help me out here, monk."
"I've tried to think of possible things…and the only thing I could think of you'll never go for."
Inuyasha just knew what he wanted to say. 'Let Kagome-chan go home on her own, lie and say that she was fine all along, and then continue on with her life for a short period of time. Then after a while, she could come back on her own and there would be no kidnapping charges to worry about.'
Psh, like he'd ever trust Kagome in the hands of the law…once they got her back, they'd watch her so heavily, she couldn't go to the bathroom on her own. She'd never be allowed to come back to him where she belonged. She'd be back in that life, where no freedom was allowed for her whatsoever. Where other men would try to win her over with gifts, and attempt to make her forget about him.
No, never, there had to be another way…
"Forget it, monk, I'm not listening. There has to be something else."
"Then let me talk it over with Sango and call you back shortly. I suggest you stay away from all windows, too. They could have watchers already looking into your office at this very moment."
Inuyasha glanced out the window, but his keen eyesight couldn't find anything. "I'll keep that in mind. I want to hear everything you come up with in ten minutes." Then he shut his phone quickly and groaned into his hands. Did someone up there not want them to be together? It seemed not…
Kagome grabbed his shoulder and shook him. "Inuyasha, you're scaring me…"
He sighed and pulled his hands away to look down at her. The worry in his eyes made her gasp. She brushed his bangs out of his face and watched as he closed his eyes on the contact. "Inuyasha, what is it?"
He hugged her tightly and she could feel him trembling ever so slightly in fear. She slowly wrapped her arms around him, feeling herself tremble because he was. What could he possibly be afraid of? He had never been afraid of anything.
After a moment of silence, Inuyasha seemed to wake up as he stopped his trembling. "I want you…" He started quietly and calmly. "I want you to continue training with Sango. Every day, with me watching, and every time I want you to get her down and win the spar."
Kagome was shocked and wanted to pull back and stare at him, but his hands were latched onto her waist. Almost holding her possessively, afraid of letting go. "What's going on?"
"You have to be as strong as humanly possible with out showing your Miko powers, Kagome. If they find you, you have to be able to defend yourself without your secret getting out."
"Who'll try and find me? What are you talking about?"
"My stupid brother ratted me out. He had evidence of me having you, and now the police are looking for you. If they find you with me, it'll probably be considered a hostage situation and they could very well attempt to kill me."
She widened her eyes. "Inuyasha…they can't…they can't take you away from me. I won't let them…I won't go back, I refuse…"
He squeezed once around her waist and she quit her protests. "You have to remain calm."
"REMAIN CALM? Inuyasha!"
"Hey, I managed! We just have to be calm until we figure something out."
She almost shook her head in disbelief. It was utterly impossible. NOTHING was making sense anymore! Why did the gods seem to attack her in person? WHY, when every time they overcame one obstacle another would come after her? Why wasn't Inuyasha entitled to be happy? Just what the fuck was destiny thinking this time?
She grew angry immediately. "So Fluffy did this, did he?" She asked calmly. The thought of everything he had done to her was starting to make her hands itch to burn him to shreds with Miko energy.
"Kagome, don't even begin to think you're going after him. We have a lot of things to do first, and you have to listen this time, do you understand me?" Inuyasha pulled back to stare into her eyes, almost as if making sure she wouldn't disobey him.
Her? Disobey him? HA! That was a laugh…
However, she couldn't think of a reason not to. He was right after all, and every time she had tried something before she almost died. Perhaps listening to her mate would be the answer, ne?
She stared back into his golden orbs and answered truthfully. "Alright, Inuyasha, I understand. I won't disobey you."
He nodded his approval and closed his eyes, leaning his forehead up against hers. "I swear to you that he won't get away with it. I'll tear him limb from limb."
Kagome looked down guiltily. She had a thought come over her mind. "Uh…Inuyasha…"
"Nani?"
She sighed. When he spoke Japanese, it meant he was too tired, upset, or worried to think of his English. "What if…what if I spoke to the police in person? What do you think would happen if I just showed up and talked to them?"
His grip on her tightened. "You will never see a policeman, Kagome. They'll treat you like a brain washed hostage and make sure to take me down anyway. Besides, you could be arrested."
She snorted. "ME? What did I do?"
"If you were 'gone' for so long without telling them about your position, then they could claim you as a run away and send you to jail or make you pay a fine. Then they'd never stop watching you, and I'd never get the chance to get you back." He shook fiercely at the thought. "No, the law won't get involved. You will not be leaving my sight, Kagome Higurashi, until this is all figured out."
She sighed and nodded. He was right, there was no need to involve the police.
However…something at her gut told her that they weren't done with the law, or Fluffy dearest. As of late, she'd been learning to trust her instincts, and knew that was a bad sign.
She vowed that Fluffy would burn for what he had done. Somehow he had managed to figure out how to take them down and separate them without getting his hands dirty.
The fucking nark was getting clever these days…and he would pay dearly for it.
*~*~^_^~*~*
"Oww…oww…OWW, KAGOME!"
"Give in and I'll let you go, Sango." She stated, standing above the woman on the mat. Sango was flat on her stomach with one arm pinned behind her back, and Kagome was slowly adding pressure to that arm until she could have very well broken it in time.
Inuyasha sat against the mat with a laptop on his lap, doing the constant research he had been doing for the past two days. The schedule had been the same for both him and Kagome; they'd get up and train, eat lunch, tend to club business, maybe train with guns and then go to sleep again at night. All the time they did this, if Inuyasha weren't absorbed in his laptop, he would make sure never to leave Kagome's side for anything. Not even when requested by the rest of the club. Hell, even a couple of times he was the one wrestling with her, keeping one hand behind his back for fairness while she attempted to knock him out.
Miroku stood nearby, watching carefully as his girlfriend and a great friend beat the crap out of each other, only every once in a while looking down to see what his other friend was up to. Inuyasha barely even looked away from the laptop; only when it sounded like someone could have gotten harmed because he was making sure Kagome remained all right.
With how uptight and angry he was at the moment, something as little as that could probably snap him.
"Kami! I give, I give! You'll break my arm!"
Kagome sighed and released her, leaning with her hands on her knees. "I'm sorry, but if you don't say I give I have to continue with the torture."
"Well Kagome, I promise that you'll be able to get normal humans down like that."
Miroku smiled softly. "Yes, you've found many new techniques that would probably make you one of the most professional self defense artists in New York."
Sango stood and held her head. "Wow, wrestling with you is like getting run over."
"Thanks." Kagome smiled softly and shook the wariness out of her eyes. She needed rest, she'd admit it mentally, but she wouldn't let Inuyasha know because he'd force her to go to sleep.
Miroku put his hand over his ear, listening to the speaker in his ear. Seeming to take everything in, he nodded and glanced at the boss. "Inuyasha, come here please."
Inuyasha growled and sat the computer down, standing to confront the monk. "THIS had better be good."
While Miroku pulled the Hanyou into a whispering conversation, Sango helped Kagome up to her feet instead of leaning. "Kagome-chan, you're really good at what you do, but can you not break my bones next time?"
Kagome laughed softly. "I'm really sorry about that, but I'm following Inuyasha's orders."
"Since when do you listen to Inuyasha? I mean seriously, you usually do whatever you want."
"He's right, Sango, he knows best and I need to listen to him."
Inuyasha turned around and rubbed his forehead, making sure that Miroku couldn't see any part of his face. "I don't want to hear this. It sounds fishy to me."
"Well what do you propose we do about it? It can't be ignored."
"I'm trusting my instincts, they're telling me not to go out there and risk Kagome's life."
Miroku rolled his eyes, desperately trying to keep from getting angry with his boss. That wouldn't end well for him. "Then what do we do?"
Inuyasha stared straight ahead and sighed. "I don't know, alright? I'm too busy trying to find out how to take down that bastard to worry about a minion of his."
"You used to know what to do all the time, Inuyasha. Where one of them is, there's bound to be more lurking around nearby."
Inuyasha snorted and stared at him. "What are you suggesting, then?"
"I don't know, I was thinking that maybe we could go out there and deal with it."
"Damn it…"
"Come on, Inuyasha, your men are no match for Kouga, and you know it."
Inuyasha growled to himself and waved his hand. "Miroku, it sounds way too easy for something that has to do with Sesshomaru."
"Inuyasha, I'm just as worried for Kagome's safety as you are, but Kouga will kill all of your men if you send them out there alone. He's not a very intelligent demon, but he'll know how to kill us all.
Inuyasha pressed his fingers into his closed eyes, almost as if he was trying to pull the frustration out of them. "Fine, we'll go out there and find that bastard, alright? Kagome, get dressed."
She rolled her eyes. "I am dressed, I don't fight naked, you know."
He mumbled something that nobody could make out, but he spoke next in a louder tone. "Go put on your weapons, smartass. There's something that apparently needs to be dealt with so monk boy over here will shut the hell up."
Kagome nodded and did as she was told, Sango following her up the stairs and into Inuyasha's office. Inuyasha and Miroku sat in silence as they waited for her to come back. They didn't have to wait long.
She came back down, putting the gloves over her hands and adjusting her hair in the ponytail. The chains that hung on the sides of her hips clinked ever so slightly with every step she took. Miroku had silently observed the fact that she looked like she did the first time she was put in 'uniform'. Like a Matrix chick with a badass attitude.
Kagome almost shrieked when Inuyasha seemed to almost disappear before getting in front of her and crushing her body to him. While Sango walked to join Miroku against the wall, Kagome noticed calmly that Inuyasha was purring quietly, almost reassuring her, but not letting anyone else hear.
Not that she didn't need it. The feeling that everyone had that the little encounter they were about to have wasn't natural had been burning a hole into her brain. Something just wasn't right, and it seemed that even though Inuyasha knew it, he wanted to know what was going on.
Something that he cursed his demon for. Every dog demon was slightly curious about things like this, and almost couldn't help but find out what it was.
Kagome stroked one of his ears. Don't worry, Inuyasha, everything will be ok.
I worry, and there's nothing that anyone can do to stop me. If something happens to you, I don't know what I would do.
You think it's going to affect me?
Duh, Fluffy's the one who staged it. EVERYTHING he does has something to do with you.
Kagome shivered and forgot to think. "Still, don't worry so much, please? My stomach clenches when you worry."
Sango cocked a machine gun that hung off a strap on her shoulder and sighed. "Come on, we have to go now, you two. Kouga's waiting for us."
It seemed that Inuyasha ignored her, but after a moment he slowly pulled back and sighed deeply. He pulled two fingerless gloves out of his pocket and slipped them on, clenching his fists over and over. "If I find that bastard, I won't let him get away this time."
Miroku sighed. "Inuyasha, you need to let go of all your worry and regain your hostile nature. That's the only way you could have gotten as far as you have."
"Do you realize what you're asking me? If I'm hostile at the moment, I'll end up spraying blood everywhere and the police will have a field day. Especially if Kagome's with me."
Sango shook her head. "You're loosing it, Inuyasha."
"Loosing it? LOOSING IT? I'm so fucking worried about her I don't know what else to do!"
"Picture Kouga attempting to kiss her." Miroku stated, and Kagome pierced him with a killing gaze.
"Miroku, what the hell are you thinking?!"
Sango gave Inuyasha weird looks. "I think it's working…"
Kagome and Miroku stared at him to see him slowly closing his fist to dig his claws into flesh while staring straight ahead of himself. His eyebrows lowered and his eyes narrowed until he finally gave into the feeling with a large scowl.
The next thing they knew, he ripped a large knife out of his belt sheathe and growled lightly. "I'm going to gut that sorry bastard and make him wish he were never born!" Then he started his way out the door with the stomp that Kagome had met him with in the beginning. She made sure to follow closely behind, now more concerned for any people that got in his way instead of that nagging feeling in her gut.
*~*~^_^~*~*
All four of them arrived out on the streets searching around for the alleged threat. Miroku and Sango had actually began to wonder if it was a good idea to make Shippo and Kira remain inside the club, but they had to focus more on what Inuyasha was doing since he appeared bent on the wolf's destruction. Sango's idea had apparently put him back to the way he was, because he was now hunting down the demon with his instincts, doing anything and everything he could to catch the scent. Once he found a trace, it seemed as if he was an impenetrable force that refused to be stopped.
He snorted. It was ridiculous. Kouga was a threat to his mate, and he wasn't about to let a threat go unnoticed. Sango had really woken him up, he wasn't being near as defensive as he needed to be. He couldn't worry about her all the time, he needed to do something about it instead of sitting and sulking around.
Yes, he had really been slacking.
"KOUGA! Show your stupid face!" He panted as he caught another whiff of the demon in an alley. He turned to face it before cocking the machine gun and taking a step inside.
Miroku and Kagome eyed each other carefully. She glanced at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, wait…"
"What?"
"There's something wrong. The aura's too strange."
Miroku nodded. "I agree. Something's not right, I don't think we should go in."
Inuyasha snorted and turned around, dropping his machine gun back into his coat. "Well, MONK, you're the one who made me come out here in the first place. What do you propose we do?"
Miroku sighed. "We need Kira and Shippo."
"They're fine where they are."
"How about you go in and Kagome-chan stays out here with me?" Sango suggested, a little nervous glint in her voice. She knew very well that Inuyasha wouldn't go for it.
Inuyasha stubbornly shook his head. "I don't think so. I'm not leaving her alone with either of you. I'm not letting her out of my sight."
Kagome rubbed her eyes. "Then there's nothing we can do, Inuyasha. We have to go in or go back to the club because there's no other solution."
Miroku sighed. "How about Sango and I stay out here and make sure that he doesn't escape? I know Kagome will end up going with you into the alley, so let us stay out here."
He growled. "Fine, fine, whatever. Kagome, come on." He turned heal and headed into the alley, Kagome right behind him step for step and trying to keep her hands from gripping his arm in nervousness. She couldn't help but feel awful about whatever was going to happen because she knew that it would somehow greatly affect the two of them. The questions were, what was it and for how long?
Kouga showed at the end of the alley, standing up on a couple of crates so he stood above his enemies. "Well, well, if it isn't the bastard I've learned to despise."
Inuyasha snorted in response. "Well, if it isn't the bastard that's been asking for an ass kicking since the day he was born. Why are you here? Couldn't wait for me to kill you?"
"Actually, Inuyasha, my reason for coming back is better than that." He pulled out an envelope and smirked at Kagome. "So, you came too, did you Kagome?"
"What's it to you?"
Kouga stood straighter and a look of pure pride spread across his features. He opened up the envelope and began to read it. "Inuyasha and Kagome; a note from Sesshomaru. He wishes you the best of your time together and tells you to use it wisely."
Kagome took a step away from Inuyasha and closer to Kouga. "What the hell does that mean?"
He grinned. "Prepare yourselves."
Kagome was about to question him when the sound of what had to be a hundred guns cocking rang through the air. Inuyasha's gun was out and ready as he growled softly at the new sight before him, and Kagome was still pulling hers out of her coat. Shit, shit, shit…she thought to herself. This was exactly what she had feared. They were surrounded, and this time, it wasn't by the bad guys.
Officers wearing heavy armor mainly pointed their weapons at Inuyasha, and everywhere he looked there was someone hiding with yet another weapon pointing at him. He growled even more loudly when he realized that Kagome wasn't at arm's length and he couldn't hold her closely to protect her from the cops.
By the looks of it, if he so much as moved the police would have his head.
Instead, Kagome turned and glared at Kouga. "What the hell is this!"
"Kagome, Sesshomaru is just making sure that you go back to where you belong. Inuyasha has kept you caged up in that cage of yours too long."
"CAGE!"
"He's brainwashed you, too."
Inuyasha prepared to take a step before a microphone hit his sensitive ears. "Inuyasha, do not move! If you do, we will shoot! Surrender yourself and release Kagome Higurashi!"
Kagome was about to scream at them, but Inuyasha sighed. "Drop it, Kagome. They won't listen." He said quietly, eyeing the people around him and intensifying his growl. He had fallen for the fucking trap, and now it put them both at risk. He couldn't see a way out without leaving Kagome behind. Damn it to fucking hell…what do I do, what do I do?
She tried to take a step to him instead, but a strong (unwanted) hand wrapped around her arm and pulled her back. "Stay back from him, Kagome, you don't want a repeat of last time."
She turned and elbowed him in the nose, only to be gripped harder with both his hands. She almost growled in his ear. "What have you fucking done?" She asked quietly.
Kouga smirked. "Sesshomaru has destroyed you the only way he knows how right now; by separating you two. You should have chosen me and not that dead bastard."
"Dead?" Kagome shook. Despite the fact that her enemy was holding her back and had his arms tightly latched to her shoulders, she couldn't help but nearly loose it because of that stray thought in her mind.
"Oh hell yea, after all Inuyasha has done, they'll lock him and kill him for sure." His mouth was closer to her ear as he whispered the next. "Wanna know how? They'll keep him in that cage with no way out, and they'll use as many guns as they can to shoot him until there ain't nothing left but hamburgers and bones." She gasped and attempted to smack him again, but he continued with his grip tightening. "You won't be able to stop them either, deary. There won't be anything that you can do."
She started really struggling, but she was no match for him. He managed to hand her back to three officers, who all had a hold of her for all they were worth just to keep her still. None of them had heard what Kouga had said to her and one persisted to attempt and calm her down. "Higurashi, please relax. We're rescuing you."
"Rescuing me? From what! You should have been saving me from him!" She nodded up to Kouga as they put her in handcuffs to keep her from hitting them. With fear in her eyes, she watched as Inuyasha started pondering to himself. He couldn't question anything, damn it! He had to get out of here!
They continued to order him to give up or they'd shoot, and the messages he was receiving from his brain were confusing the hell out of him.
He could escape with no sweat. He had been in this situation many times before and he could always dart out without being shot once. He could run so fast that he nearly disappeared and make it back to a safe distance to slowly take out the officers without complications. Of course, they weren't usually this heavily armored, but he'd manage to do it anyway.
The only problem was, he wasn't going to leave without Kagome. He would never even consider it. These people were considered a threat to her and she was supposed to be protected by him. In fact, her needs came before his own, and after he had finished twitching from the sight of Kouga touching her he managed to think it over quietly.
He still had all his weapons, his devices, everything. Kagome also had everything, too, and the police didn't appear to be in a big hurry to remove them. He bet silently to himself that not a one person in the area had enough guts to try and come near him for that. The only person who would even try is Fluffy dearest, and even he was too cowardly to face the two of them together.
But that was the problem…
Once they put Inuyasha in a prison, they'd keep Kagome locked away somewhere safe where they could attempt to get answers from her. Eventually, Sesshomaru would work his way in and kill her when she wasn't looking. In the meantime, they would say that Inuyasha had brainwashed her and that she didn't know what she was talking about, continuing over and over again to bother her with questions until she burst into flames. Knowing that she would be locked up and tortured really hurt him.
But what hurt most of all was that she wouldn't be allowed to see him.
If he dared to escape they'd still take Kagome and never give her back. They'd have her under such heavy watch that it'd be nearly impossible to get her back without making a scene that would have the army on their ass's. And possibly while he would have taken the cowardly way out, Kagome would have been suffering and it would break her spirit. She'd believe that she had lost another loved one, and that would be horrific end for her mind.
He couldn't let that happen. He refused to watch himself be the reason of her agony.
So, Inuyasha did the unthinkable, the only thing that made him as well known as he was and the only thing that would completely change his reputation forever.
Sighing deeply, he chucked his gun on the ground a few feet away and held his hands up part of the way from his ears in a form of surrender. He looked more tired than anything as he glared up at Kouga. "Fine, take me."
Kagome gaped. She couldn't believe her ears. "Inuyasha, what are you doing! Are you out of your fucking mind?!"
He shrugged and met her eyes while a couple of brave souls approached him with handcuffs and shackles. The got fairly close to him before he moved his hands so they could cuff him, and they were terrified out of their minds when he had moved them as if expecting a slap. No one there expected him to give up easily; in fact, they were ready for the kill. They expected a fight.
The detective that had appeared on the scene approached Inuyasha and put on his handcuffs. He read Inuyasha his rights, the whole time Inuyasha rolling his eyes and snorting. "Detective, shut the fuck up. I don't care what my rights are and you know it."
"You should care, Inuyasha, this is your life that's on the line here."
"I've lived for two hundred years, what makes you think that killing me now will affect me?"
"I don't know, but it must have done a wonder for Naraku by the look on his face. We suspect you're the one who did that since no one else seems capable, and there was no evidence at all leading to it. That reeks of something you would do."
Inuyasha growled. "He got what he deserved."
"And you'll be getting what's coming to you for kidnapping Kagome. That was the final straw. If you want to save yourself, you'll be answering some questions." He reached his hand forward, as if preparing to grab a sword out of the great Inuyasha's sword sheathes, but Inuyasha jerked back slightly and growled.
"I'll let you take me to the slammer, but no goddamn cop is going to take anything off of me, do you hear me?"
"I'm the boss around here, Inuyasha, while you're arrested you are to listen to me."
"You're a fucking dumbass. I could break out of anything you put on me and slice you all to bits."
The detective sighed. "I gave you the right to remain silent, so I suggest you shut up."
A cop walked over, panting as if he had been running. "Sir, we need to talk."
"Not now."
"No sir…now…"
The detective rolled his eyes, but never turned his back on Inuyasha. That didn't go unnoticed by him. Hmm…smart little shit. "Fine, shoot."
"Kagome Higurashi is struggling too much, she'll have to be hauled in a police car. She says that she won't be going anywhere and that Inuyasha shouldn't be in handcuffs. It's so confusing…like she doesn't want to go back."
"Inuyasha probably has fucked her mind up somehow."
Inuyasha did his best imitation of an animal snorting. You don't know the half of it.
"She claims the only way she'll go anywhere is if she gets a seat with Inuyasha in a car. I think we should believe her, too, she's very hard to control, even with multiple people. Almost like she's not human."
Inuyasha smirked. Atta girl, Kagome, atta girl.
The man sighed. Taking a glance at Inuyasha he seemed to think about it, and then sighed again with another thought. "He hasn't harmed her yet, so I don't think he will. But there will be two guards in the seats beside them with stun guns if needed."
Inuyasha smirked again. They thought he would harm his Kagome. How inferior... "Why detective? You think I'm going to do something to poor Kagome? Sounds to me like she can handle herself."
"Poor Kagome has already been screwed up by you, Inuyasha, and she doesn't need anything else stuffed into that intelligent brain of hers. You touch her and your ass will go straight from that car to the electric chair."
"If you could get me there. I haven't done a thing to her and I never will."
"I'll remember that." They motioned for Kagome and Inuyasha to be put in the car, and for once without protest Inuyasha went. He couldn't believe himself; he was so calm it was frightening. Well, for the officers anyway. Him, well, he was content with not saying a word. No human dead or alive could keep him and his mate locked away in either a cell or an interrogation room for a couple of days, let alone as long as they were planning to. Inuyasha would rain on their parade for sure and the news would have a field day telling about the jail massacre.
He would have said his parting shot to Kouga, but the wolf was gone before anyone noticed. He probably went to tell Fluffy dearest of his work.
Oh, that bastard's going to pay…
While he was being stuffed into the cop car and followed around with stun guns, Kagome had managed to be placed in handcuffs, shackles on her legs, and even a blindfold on her eyes. She was sat in the car beside Inuyasha, and while she sat there attempting to look around, Inuyasha just smirked at her.
"Shit, Kagome, what'd you do?"
She turned slightly and sighed. "What's the matter with you? Why the fuck did you give up?"
"Because I refuse to allow them to harm you in any way, Kagome, and they would have probably done that if I had attempted to escape. I couldn't get out and grab you. You're surprisingly odd if you managed to get that tied up while I was gone. All I got were some handcuffs."
They ignored the cops in the seats completely. No need to acknowledge useless presence, even though the presence seemed entirely confused as to why Kagome would chat with her kidnapper like he was her best friend.
"Well, gee, Inuyasha, sorry for putting up a fight." She scooted closer to him and he managed to put his hand on her leg.
Of course, the cops had something to say about that. They pointed the guns at him. "Let her go, Inuyasha."
He growled deeply. "She ain't resisting, therefore it ain't illegal."
"Since when would you sweat the legal shit, Inuyasha? You are just putting more evidence on your victim."
Kagome snorted. "I want him to touch me, so shut the hell up."
The cops couldn't say anything else and slowly pulled the guns back to their sides.
Kagome shook her blindfold off, letting it fall down her neck. She glanced at Inuyasha with her blue eyes and made direct eye contact with him to communicate telepathically. Well, dear, what now?
Inuyasha sighed deeply without breaking the eye contact. That was a really good question. What did he plan on doing next? He knew that he wasn't going to cooperate very well, and he certainly wasn't going to sit around and wait for the cops to execute him and drive Kagome insane.
He smiled softly when he answered. I guess I'm not really sure yet, I didn't plan ahead. Don't worry, we'll find a way out of this, I promise.
Her strange unbound hands gripped his shoulder and she grinned. I still got it.
He sighed. I suppose so, so maybe you can break me out of the electrical chair before they manage to stupidly shock me and piss me off.
