So help me I WILL DAMMIT! *blinks* Ahh...ahem! Anyway! Read, go on!
CHAPTER SEVEN: Dun dun duuuuun.... The bad guys unite! Dammit!
Kikyo was angry. Her blood boiled as she saw a laughing Inuyasha wrap an arm around a giggling Kagome. Her former gang members were walking to the nearest ice cream shop after the pervert scene, Kikyo knew it was Miroku's fault for the annoyed girls by the red marks on his face.
Silently Kikyo promised the Bitch, as she was called, a painful vengeance brought upon her head for stealing her place.
Naraku came up behind Kikyo, snaking an arm around he waist, pulling her scantily clad body up against himself, "Why do you harbor this anger Kikyo? You left them."
Kikyo snorted, "They begged me to leave once I had found you Naraku. If I could, I would gladly bring Inuyasha to hell."
Kanna stood nearby with her elder sister Kagura, and they exchanged desperate looks. They wanted out, no doubt about it. They hated Kikyo and Naraku. But they had no choice. Naraku held their lives in his hand.
Naraku purred into Kikyo's ear, "And you shall little fighter, you shall bring him to hell after sending that girl ahead."
Shishio snorted quietly and called his woman, Yumi, forward. She sidled up next to him, smiling slyly as his hands roved her body.
Enishi looked away in disgust, and snorted, "Our revenge should be complete against them. That new girl, Kagome, she must have former connections. They simply do not open their doors to anyone."
"Kagome? Higurashi, Kagome you mean?" came a voice that none of them knew.
Knives flashed in the light as did the barrels of guns, all aimed at the shadows, "Who are you?" was Naraku's question.
A blonde girl with pale blue eyes stepped from the shadows, her eyes unpleasant in their malicious gleam, "I am Opel Daisy. The new leader of the Sakura Blades that Kagome Higurashi once led as the infamous Onyx Nightshade."
Eyes widened, "Thats who she is?" Kikyo asked, "A lowly slut of a girl then. She led a gang of men before she meshed two."
Opel snorted, "They were older men. They once allied themselves with the Blades, but they've distanced themselves since Kagome left."
Shishio raised an eyebrow, "Why is that?"
Opel shrugged, "Because their founder was her father, who was known to the Underground City as Black Blood. And the other half of the gang Storm Dragons was the Dark Storms who was led by Kagome's mother Hell's Thunder. She was known as Catalyst Nightmare in the Dragons and Lightning Death in the Storms. When her parents died she merged the two gangs and renamed them the Storm Dragons. She then became Hell's Catalyst in honor of her family. She also just stayed Onyx Nightshade for us, her name also a title of respect for her dead parents."
Enishi watched carefully for any signs of a lie, and found none. He nodded to Naraku, stating silently that she spoke the truth.
Kikyo smiled cruelly, "We can use that against her."
Opel laughed, "One step ahead of you there ya zombie. We kidnaped her younger brother and practically only living relation. She's as good as ours. She'll be in Kyoto soon. So I suggest you come down there and meet the Sakura Blades. If we work together we just might be able to get this girl. She's good and with people to back her, she'll be even better."
Without another word Opel faded, and when they approached the area where she had been standing, all they saw was a single daisy held by the stem with an opel.
Naraku snorted in contempt, "Coward. Though I have no qualms about using a child as bait, that it would be needed to reduce a small girl to nothing is cowardly."
Kikyo pouted, "So we won't partake in this slaughter?"
Naraku chuckled, stroking and fondling Kikyo, as others turned away in disgust, before answering, "Of course we will. I want Them dead as much as you do Kikyo. Probably even more so because of the past."
Kanna spoke up, her voice quiet, "We all need to focus on the task at hand. If we want to get them Samurai Demons then perhaps an alliance with the Sakura Blades is a wise choice, however if we do ally ourselves with them then we will risk their displeasure in the future meaning we'll have to make sure we never reveal too much to them."
Kagura agreed, "We should pay attention Naraku, Kanna knows what she's talking about. She may be young but she's good."
Naraku backhanded Kagura, "Slut! When I want to hear anything from you I will ask for it!"
Kagura stumbled back from the powerful blow, falling to the ground. Enishi was there within moments, helping her to her feet, his eyes dark with worry for her. Kanna was already by her side, holding out a cloth to wipe at the blood. Kagura took it with a appreciative smile and leaned on Enishi to stand. She glared daggers at Naraku, "Wounding your own members probably isn't the smartest thing to do Naraku."
Shishio, who had been fairly quiet, snorted, "Of course it isn't, but baboon boy over there doesn't understand that now does he? He acts only on emotion and no thought. As stupid as that is. But then, Yumi, he doesn't need to be perfect does he? I make up for that."
A slight, quiet, agreeable moan tickled the ears of anyone near by. Kanna blanched as she realized how far the two members of the gang were going, IN PUBLIC!
Kagura snorted and spit blood at their feet, "Pig...And his whore."
Enishi snorted, "Must you aggravate him?"
Kagura grinned, "Of course. Besides, Kamatari should be here soon with Chou. That'll give us at least some protection. You know Chou. Hates to see a woman he knows hit."
Kanna smiled wanly, her pale face sheer white from fear, "Kagura, maybe you should lay low for a bit. We don't want Naraku too angry."
Enishi nodded, "Now get up girl. We have things to do."
A bloody smiled graced the cold face of Kagura, who adopted the name of Kamikaze as her surname, simply because the God's Wind is what gave her hope.
Kanna Kamikaze grinned back at her sister, a silent agreement passing between them, one of revenge.
Within mere moments Kamatari and Chou appeared silently, a satisfied grin on Chou's face, "Shishio, I did what you asked. We now have plenty of money and a good amount of weapons. We're set."
Shishio nodded, "Good. Naraku, when shall we leave for Kyoto? Oh and Enishi, clue those two into whats going on."
Enishi started a quiet briefing for the two men as Naraku pondered, "We leave at midnight. The Knives will descend upon Kyoto silently. Let no one know why you're there. We will meet up at...Jakken's home. He is there."
Silent nods met his decree. None would argue with Naraku lest they feel his wrath.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~With the Sakura Blades in Kyoto *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Garnet watched nervously, she hoped Opel would mess up on her trip and die. She missed Onyx horribly. Her name came from her garnet colored eyes and led later to her tendency to dye a streak of red into her naturally snowy hair.
'This gang's gone down the drain. We're losing territory, we're losing respect, hell we're falling apart. Kagome kept us together much better.' were the young girl's thoughts on the matter.
Amethyst slipped up silently, "Any sign of Opel?"
Garnet shook her head, before looking at the short fiery redhead with her intense gray-green eyes, "No. We can't expect her too soon. Her travels are only so fast."
Amethyst shrugged, "Yeah I guess so. Hey, look its Lapis. Hey! Lapis! C'mere."
Lapis, one of the youngest, grinned and jogged over, "Hey whats up you guys?"
Amethyst ruffled the young girl's unruly brown hair, "Nothing much sunshine."
Lapis stuck her tongue out, but her steely colored eyes sparkled and gave her face a softer look.
They were some of the few who disliked their lives under Opel though more and more were joining with them.
Emerald, Kagome's right hand, came up, her name aptly describing her eyes, whose black hair was set off by emerald steaks in her hair, often braided together to keep it out of the way.
Her eyes were cold as stone as she looked out over the road, "She's here."
The others shuddered before plastering fake smiles onto their faces and greeting Opel warmly, "Hey! You're back."
"Did you get what you went for?"
"So how did it go?"
Opel, for all her self proclaimed greatness, didn't know of their very non-loyal outlooks, grinned, "Its great. We got the help of a gang called The Poison Knives. We've got all the help we're going to need. Now, lets call them all together so we can talk.
Opel walked away.
Before long, many of the girls gathered.
Their names being:
Rose Quartz Bluebell,
Aquamarine Daffodil,
Bloodstone Honeysuckle,
Diamond Sweet-Pea,
Emerald Lily,
Garnet Primrose,
Amethyst Violet,
Lapis Larkspur,
Chrysoprase Marigold,
Alexandrite Gladiolas,
Moonstone Snowdrop,
Pearl Morning Glory,
Ruby Rose,
Carnelion Carnation,
Peridot Holly,
Sardonyx Hawthorn,
Sapphire Aster,
Tourmaline Water-Lily,
Topaz Poinsettia,
Citrine Narcissuses,
Zircon Jonquil,
And Turquoise Cosmos.
Opel Daisy stood before her rather large gang and spoke, "The Traitor will come soon for her brother. Who has the brat anyway?"
Moonstone, another of Kagome's followers, raised her hand, "I have him here. He can't get away."
In truth Souta wasn't even vary afraid because he knew Moonstone, who was really named Luna, for her black hair and pale yellow star like eyes, would never harm him.
Opel nodded, "Good. Keep good hold on him Moonstone. I don't want the little brat getting away. He's important. As a matter of fact, we'll be joined shortly by another gang called Poison Knives, who also have some problems with Kagome and her new gang."
None of Kagome's followers were really surprised by this for Souta had spoken in great lengths about the life he and Kagome both led.
Souta's anger at the blonde bitch swelled until his hands shook with rage. Moonstone rested a gentle hand on his shoulder, "Breath kiddo, we don't need any more problems then we've got I'll have you know. When your sister gets here we'll find a way to get you back to her."
Souta nodded. He wanted his sister and he wanted her right by his side at that second. She'd help him beat the crazy blonde bitch.
Opel continued, "Our plan is to lure Kagome and her new friends to a trap, using her brother as bait, and then, we shall close the jaws of both gangs quickly, killing them all...Painfully and slowly. Hope you don't mind too much twerp, but you're never even gonna be able to drive. So sorry."
Souta just glared, his eyes as cold and hard as ice. Emerald glanced at him from the corner of her eye in worry, his silence was unnerving and so far all of the girls, even Opel, had felt the effects. His gaze was hard and cold and merciless...Just like Kagome's eyes when you crossed her.
Opel continued, though now more subdued, "We need to act..quick...quickly We can't let anyone or anything get in our way. N..Narak..Naraku should be here before to long. I gave information for him to meet us at the Underground Central Station. I think the Black Market Place should do us well in this if you know what I mean."
Opel nodded, "Right. Then if that's all..which it had better be...then all of you should retire to your rooms. We'll need all the rest we can take."
As the gang drifted off into their own areas of the mansion Moonstone and Lapis gathered up Souta and brought him to his room which was a small room with no windows and the only doors leading into either Moonstone's room or into Lapis' room.
Souta instantly settled himself onto the bed and waited, his body tense, his eyes dark and cold, and his demeanor not so friendly.
Lapis and Moonstone backed away into Moonstone's room, "Well now.." were the only words uttered.
Moonstone looked at Lapis, "Yeah yeah yeah. Anyway, Lapis.."
Before Luna could continue any further Lapis stopped, "Use my real name."
Moonstone grinned, "Fine then. Kirei, do you think that Kagome and her new gang will be strong enough to stand up and win with both gangs fighting against her?"
Kirei shrugged, "You know Kagome, she can do anything. She's always been really good at finding herself the kind of people that are constructive to her own strength."
Luna nodded, "Yeah, you're right. I think she'll be fine, right?"
Before Kirei could answer a knock sounded on the door. Rising, Luna let in Garnet, Emerald, Amethyst, Sapphire, Ruby and Bloodstone. They were the last and the core of Kagome's followers. Opel had gotten rid of many of their kind and they feared for their own lives.
Bloodstone, called that for her habit of drawing blood, was really named Yukina. Ruby, her namesake being merely the month of her birth, was named Eden. Sapphire was Miyu, and Amethyst was really Lain.
Emerald never gave our her name to anyone but Kagome. So they had dubbed her Emmy. And Garnet was, well, Garnet.
Yukina was the first to guess the topic of their discussion, "Kag-chan will be fine. She always has been before. You know?"
Eden nodded, "Of course she'll be fine. I mean, Souta doesn't seem too worried."
Miyu simply shrugged silently. She rarely spoke more then a few quiet words, but was deadly in a fight and Lain grinned roughishly, "If Kagome can't set things to rights then it really is the end of the world."
Emmy rolled her eyes, "You're such a dork, you know that?"
Lain winked, "But of course!"
Garnet snorted, "You people are impossible. But heyyyyy now, where is little Sou-Sou-chan?"
Kirei shrugged, "He, um...Ice blocked on us. Right Lu?"
Luna nodded, "Yeah. Went total icy on us and just stared glaring holes into the wall. Spoooooooky!"
Emmy smacked Luna on the back of the head, "You dweeb! Lemme check on him."
With that she got up and went into Souta's room to see him, as Luna had depicted, glaring holes into the wall. Quirking her eyebrow she sat on his bed next to him, "What's up little man?"
Souta shrugged, "I just wish Kagome would hurry up and get here. She's making all sorts of chaos in my head with her emotions. She's all confused and scared and uncertain. Ugh, I'm not ready for this! I have a major headache!"
Emmy giggled softly, "C'mon, lets get you some pain killers for your sister's hellish emotions!"
Souta looked up gratefully, "I will love you extra forever!"
Emmy laughed and brought him into Luna's room, "He just had a headache from Kagome's emotions."
A collective "ahhhh!" of understanding rose from the teenagers who immediately fell about the poor boy and cooed at him as they coddled him and spoke in baby talk. He rolled his eyes and thought to himself, 'Girls will never, ever make any sense. Don't I get enough of this at HOME?! ARGH!'
Of course, he never voiced his feelings. He hated to hurt them at all and they had all missed him so much. It was okay to let them baby him...But he was so looking forward to going home to his own room and his own mind!
Teenagers, he was convinced, had too much going on around them. And their minds? Pppfftt...No WONDER they broke out in zits and had bad grades. Did anyone ever LOOK into those jumbled messes?! It was like a construction zone gone wrong! He wasn't looking forward to it at all.
But hey, it made them happy to baby him, so as they all cooed over him, took care of him and made sure he was feeling okay and everything, he just sat there and smiled and thanked them. But god's above how he missed his sister and her consideration of his pride and his poor head.
Girls...What did he do to deserve this?
