(Home I love you; I love you my home.)
Last time:
There are 57 left alive counting the twelve in the middle of the gym, the few alive guys, the "safe" people, and the girls. Time is running short and soon, when Kage is out of people, will he turn and begin in on his selected few?
Kage laughed at his sport and turned to his captives. "Do I know how to have fun or what?" He called out, letting his voice echo through the gym. Suddenly, a look crossed his face and it wasn't a pleasant one. He gave a whistle and several guys walked out of the wings. "Keep them under control. Kill if you want, just leave a few alive," he ordered the guys.
He looked at his "safe" people. "Follow me."
Inu Yasha stood up, dragging Kagome up with him. The others followed behind them, two by two. They followed Kage threw the school's empty hallways, and the quiet scared them in a way. It seemed unnatural and to them, it was. A school wasn't supposed to be empty unless class was in and even then, it didn't feel empty. You were supposed to see people and lights in every room. A school was supposed to feel alive at all times.
He led them to the principal's office that was on the third floor with all other administrative offices.
"Sit," he ordered, pointing at the floor. They complied. "God, I'm so bored," Kage complained after a bit. "Hey, I know, why don't we reveal our deepest darkest secrets to each other," he answered himself about ten minutes later. Taking out a new handgun, he twirled it around his finger before pointing at Kouga.
"Talk to me," Kage grinned. "Tell us your deepest darkest secret. Don't worry, whatever you say will never leave this room."
"I've, I've threatened to kill Kikyo and I even went as far as to start choking her," Kouga admitted after several minutes went by.
"Impressive, to bad you didn't," Kage complimented. He looked around at the group before picking Miroku.
"I'm not my parents' child. I'm their grandchild." The guys of the group and Kagome gave him shocked looks.
"Okay, and you expect me to be impressed? You, next to Kagome, your turn," Kage yawned, meaning Inu Yasha.
"I don't have any secrets," he announced.
"Stop fooling around and tell us your darkest secret," Kage replied, annoyed.
"Fine, you want a secret; I'll you a secret. I love Kagome," Inu Yasha shot back. Kagome looked at him, shocked.
"You, you do?" She asked fearfully. He looked down at her and replied, "Yeah, I do."
"I'm sorry to break your happy little," Kage paused for a moment trying to think of a word, "whatever, but it's your turn. Tell him what you told me. Kagome tell your little boyfriend what you told me on the train."
Kagome turned death white. Her skin visibly lost its color and if it weren't for her Japanese heritage, her face would have had no color at all.
"Tell them what you did to your stepmother," Kage smirked. He looked at her with glee filled eyes. "We're waiting."
Meanwhile, with his attention solely on Kagome, Kage had forgotten his other hostages. Two of them used this to their advantage. Inu Yasha could not move for obvious reasons, though even if he could, he wouldn't. Sango was on Kagome's other side and within Kage's line of vision. But, she was too out of it to do anything anyways. It was Naraku and Kouga who were able to sneak behind Kage. Naraku held the small fire extinguisher that he had gotten and held it over Kage's head. Kagome's eyes widened and Kage turned around as Naraku brought it down. The teen boy's form crumpled to the ground. But, his finger hit the trigger, sending a bullet through Naraku's chest.
After that, time seemed to move in slow motion. His body fell and it felt like it took a century at the least to do so. But when it did, time speed back to normal. Kagome screamed and Sango looked shocked. It was the first time she showed any emotion since Kage had first killed in the gym.
"Let's go and try to help the others in the gym," Miroku commanded while Kagome screamed in the background.
"Snap out of it," Kouga growled at her, slapping her on the face. She put her left hand up to her cheek and stared at him in wonder.
Finally, she replied, "Thanks. Miroku's right, let's go."
Just then, Kage moved and gathered his mind quickly, running out into the hall. All but Sango rushed to the doorway. She knelt beside her brother and picked something up.
"Where did he go?" Miroku asked, gaping slightly.
"I don't care where he went, but when I find him, he's mine," Inu Yasha growled, tightening his grip on Kagome's waist.
"No," Sango's voice rang out, calm and deadly. "He's mine." To prove her point, she readied the gun her cousin had used to kill her twin.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapters lately, but this seemed like the perfect spot to stop. The last time I had chapters this short was when Nagataka started. I'm getting ready to go online in a little bit to post these last two. And, there might be a little wait for the epilogue if I keep this up.
There will be an epilogue, not another sequel. ¿Comprende?
Disclaimer: Yes, Sango gets to kill my one original character, but it's out of revenge, so who cares? I don't own the others though.
