The Elevator

"Hentai!"
WHAP!
"Dammit Sango!"
"Oh, sorry Inuyasha!"
Miroku lit a flashlight. "Who's not dead sound off."
"Uuuuggggghhhh…" came several voices.
Inuyasha rubbed his swollen cheek, swearing under his breath. "Fuck! Has anyone told you that you have a SERIOUS impulse problem!"
"Hey I said I was sorry!" Sango yelled back defensively, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Is it over?" Kagome asked, coming out from under a table.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Hey, where's Kouga and Ayame?" Sango asked, looking around.
"Shit, Ayame get the fuck off of me!"
"No! The aftershock's still gotta come!"
"It already came dammit!"
"Are you sure?"
"YES!"
"Well now that they're alive, let's see how everything else managed." Sango walked to the door, tugging at the handle. "It's stuck."
"Move, let a man do it," Inuyasha gently shoved her out the way, jiggling the handle over and over, refusing to give up, but fruitlessly.
"You know…" Sango replied in a mocking tone, "if a man can do it, and you can't, what does that make you?"
He growled. "Sango?"
"What?"
"Shut up."
"The sign must've fallen down in front of the door," Miroku stated, "that means we're stuck here."

Meanwhile...

"Well, the bad news is, the elevator's broken."
"And what's the good news?"
"The good news is I just saved a lot of money on my car insurance."
Kagura glared at him, wrapping her shawl tighter around her. "That's not funny."
He shrugged. "I thought it was necessary for the moment," Sesshoumaru replied, pressing another button, "the earthquake must've short-circuited the elevator. We're stuck."
"You can't just force open the elevator, Hercules?" Kagura stated, making herself look as bored as possible.
"Actually I can," he stated, a slightly annoyed tone in his voice, "but we're in between two floors."
"Is the emergency phone working?"
"Yes, but no one's answering, the staff has probably gone home by now."
"Great, now it can't get any worse."
"Try having your hair dyed pink."
"Cotton candy number twenty-two," Kagura corrected, "and I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't made me wear… that… thing."
"Actually that "thing" was one of Rin's old Halloween costumes," Sesshoumaru replied, leaning against the wall, "and if I recall, it was you who started the whole thing."
"I told you that was an accident!" Kagura shot back, "I did try to warn you, but nnnooo!"
"From what I saw, you were doing a rendition of the last scene in Romeo and Juliet."
"And if I recall, I'm the one who has to clean that toilet!"
"Two words," said Sesshoumaru, "Anger. Management."
"Two words," Kagura replied, "Fuck. You."
He gave what sounded like a sigh. "You know, for a woman you're not very feminine."
"And for a guy you're not very masculine," Kagura shot back, "when a guy acts more feminine than a woman that's kind of sad."
"Sad to whom?" he replied.
"Must you be so damned stoic?!" she half-yelled.
"There's nothing wrong with being stoic."
"Psychopaths and homicidal maniacs are stoic," said Kagura, "and no one says "whom" anymore."
"So you're mocking me because I say "whom"?"
"No, I mock you because you act like an ass."

Meanwhile...
.

"The earthquake must've short-circuited the elevator."
She looked at the small TVs in the control room. Her eyes caught the sight of one, a small sign over it that said, "Elevator 1", in which her son and the Kagura-girl were currently residing in.
"Should we get them out, Ms. Takashi?"
Her lips curled into an evil smile. "Let's leave them in there for a few hours, shall we?"
"But Ms. Takashi-"

Later...

Rei got up from her seat, slipping a fifty into the man's pocket. "Six hours, eight if they start making out. Do we have an understanding?"
"How did you carry all of this here?"
Sesshoumaru looked over at the array of items sprawled out on the elevator floor. Magazines, pens, and appetizers and wine bottles from the buffet table lay on the floor, Kagura in the middle.
"Listening to old guys talk about money and careers doesn't interest me," Kagura replied, "I prepared myself for complete boredom."
"Kagura…"
She looked up, subconsciously shivering at the tone of his voice. She slowly closed the magazine she was holding. "What?"
"What were you and that woman talking about?" he asked.
"What? Nothing!" she blurted out quickly.
"You're lying."
She turned away from him. "It's none of your damn business!"
"It is," said Sesshoumaru, grabbing her arm, "if it involves Naraku." Kagura tried to pull away from him, only to be yanked closer to him. "What are you hiding?"
"I- I can't tell you," she stuttered.
He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look straight into his eyes. "Tell me," Sesshoumaru demanded.
"No."
His eyes narrowed. "Are you working for him?"
"No."
"Then why won't you tell me?"
"Because then you'll fire me!" she blurted out, instantly regretting it. His grip lessened slightly, but still firm. A moment of silence passed between them.
"I won't fire you."
"Yes, you will."
"No, I won't."
"Yes, you will."
"Tell me," he repeated, his tone slowly becoming more forceful.
"Fine!" she said, exasperated, "he's… he's… he's my…"
"Yes?"
"He's my father okay!" She yelled, pulling away from him and moving to the other side of the elevator. 'Damn him, damn him, damn him!"
"He's your… father."
"That's what I said!" she snapped, then in a whisper, she said, "Nobody's supposed to know…"
"He disowned you, didn't he?"
"He never owned me to begin with, I'd rather cut my hand off first. Look," Kagura turned to face him again, "I don't want anyone to know I'm his freakin' bastard child, okay?"
Another moment of silence.
"So… am I fired now?"
"Who said you were fired?" he asked.
"Well, everybody knows you and Naraku are just about sworn enemies-"
"You are not Naraku," Sesshoumaru corrected, "You… are Kagura."
