Act VII: Heist
(Scene: Inside a Department Store in Downtown Tokyo)
"This one looks good." Kagome said taking a digital clock off the store shelf. Hundreds of numbers beeped as arms ticked by on the wall as she looked around for her companion. "Now where did he go?"
She wandered the department store looking for Inu-Yasha everywhere. At first she thought he would be in the electronics department, but that turned out to be a big bust. Housewares, toys, home appliances, still no sign of the half demon. Finally she spotted a long tuft of silver hair down one aisle and joined him.
"What are you reading?" she asked looking at the book she held. The large 'Magazines' sign loomed overhead as she peeked over his shoulder. It was still weird to see Inu-Yasha dressed in jeans and a t-shirt rather than his usual robe, but she was getting used to it.
"So much information crammed into such little space." He whispered marveling at a picture of one of the new laptop computers for sale in a technology magazine. "I've already read half the loose books here, I'm learning so much about your culture."
'He's just like a little kid. So full of curiosty and innocence, he has no clue of what evil lies in our time.' Kagome thought watching him flip through a few more pages. "Go ahead and pick a few out Inu-Yasha, I'll buy them for you." She said, she couldn't take away form his enjoyment.
"How about this one?" Inu-Yasha replied flipping through another section. He pulled a semi-opened 'Penthouse' with a rather revealing photo of some blonde model from the section and held it up for Kagome to see.
'O.k., maybe not so innocent.'

"So there aren't any demons in this time?" Inu-Yasha questioned as he flipped through a 'Popular Mechanics' catalog. "That doesn't make any sense, there were so many in my time. They couldn't have just disappeared, could they of?"
Kagome walked along side him as the sun continued to beat down upon them. It was such a beautiful day, nothing could possible ruin it for either of them.
Suddenly, there was a squeal of tires as a banged up, grey van skidded around the corner behind them and bolted right towards them. It swerved violently and slammed up against a concrete wall that divided the street from a residential area and careened towards Kagome and Inu-Yasha.
Without a second thought, Inu-Yasha grabbed Kagome and leaped straight up, landing on the roof of the van as it continued forward. The vehicle swerved a few times more and continued back on the road.
"What is this?" Inu-Yasha yelled as he observed the van's banged up roof "One of those 'Hollywood' things you told me about?"
"No! This is the real thing!" she yelled back as she clung to him and the bags. "They must have robbed something." Money flew loosly out the back of the van as one of the doors fell off easily. "We have to stop these guys Inu-Yasha!"
The truck swerved again and Kagome lost her grip and was flung from the rooftop. In an instant, Inu-Yasha shot out an arm and grabbed her, pulling her back to his side. "Don't worry, I've got you."
"Inu-Yasha..."
Another turn shook the whole van and swung it into a large warehouse. A large steel door slammed behind then as the vehicle skidded to a halt. Inu- Yasha and Kagome croutched down as not to be seen as four men emerged from the vehicle.
"We gotta move!" said one brandishing a gun. "The cops are gonna catch us if we don't get out of here now." His voice echoed through the rafters as the two watched on.
"Not until we pay off Yu. If we cut her share out, she'll have us killed." Said another in a high, female tone.
A second car entered the large warehouse from the other end and halted only a few feet from the van. It was compact and black with tinted windows, Inu- Yasha had seen one in a magazine, but he couldn't quite remember the name. "What is all this?" He asked as two people stepped out of the balck car.
One was a tall, tough looking man with a brushcut and a gun strapped to his chest, definatly a bodyguard. The other person was a girl, skinny, tall, but slighty shorter than her bodyguard, with crimson hair and in a virgin white trenchcoat.
"It looks like some sort of crime ring." Kagome whispered while inching closer to Inu-Yasha. She was definatly scared of the situation, but just being close to him made her feel more sure that she was safe. "We have to get the police's attention, they'll put a stop to this."
"Willow, Oak, Cedar, Pine. It's good to see you all survived the ordeal." Said the woman as she walked slowly over to the thugs. "I assume you have my money, correct?"
"Heist went just as planned Yu." A third said in a rhaspy wheeze. "Bank didn't know what hit them, but the poilce are right on our tails. We need to get out of here, now."
"Good." Yu whispered callously, then I'll be taking my forty-five percent as agreed upon, and be leaving."
The fourth man in the thief's group stepped forward and handed Yu a metallic briefcase. "Don't you think forty-five percent is a little steep for work you didn't do?" He asked in a deep booming voice. But Yu shot him a look that made him shut up and back down.
"Maybe I'll stop it." Inu-Yasha whispered. "I can handle them I think. They don't even have bows, they won't be able to touch me."
"No! Inu-Yasha!"
"Hey, morons!" He yelled getting to his feet as Kagome tried to protest him back down. "I don't like thieves, return what you took or you'll have to deal with me."
The masked girl pointed and laughed at the half demon as he stared down at the six. "Look who think's he's a superhero. He's even got the goofy costume and everything. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha."
"I'm serious! Give whatever you took back or I'll do it for you! So do you want to do this the easy way, or the hard way?"
Yu shot him a look that could have cut right through his skull if it were and sharper. The tension could be cut with a knife as the girl continued to mock the demon, but Inu-Yasha ignored her. He was too focused on Yu, there was something wrong about her, something, familiar.
"Waste him boys."
"The hard way it is then."
Yo! It's me, it's me, it's Artie to the 'D'. That crazy Inu-Yasha, always getting himself into some sort of trouble. Sorry for taking so long again by the way. I recently got a new computer and had the one I'm writing on now moved into my room (Yay! ) Now I can write all the time and will be able to get my fics onto the net a lot faster. As always, for anyone with questions of comments they would rather not post, you can reach me at DarkArtimishotmail.com or just respond as normal. Well, here's next time's preview.
Yu, what are you doing? Inu-Yasha's the only one who can wield the Tetsaiga, why do you want it so badly. Furthermore, why the hell are you so fixated on him? And Kagome, you better watch out, those thugs Inu-Yasha mentioned may not have bows, but they do have guns! It's a winner take all battle for the ultimate weapon in: Act IIX: The Demon Emerges.
Well, that's our show for now I hope you enjoyed it all. So please remember it and please come back some time for another awesome chapter of: Inu- Yasha's Totally Excellent Adventure.
