Inferno Six

Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, I would use the money to good use. I'd feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and hire assassins to kill all those people who've ever wronged me…watch out…it might be you…

Five: Who Am I?

Kagome threw her books on her bedroom floor and flung her tired body on her bed. Her eyes closed and she sighed, happy to finally be able to lie down and sleep. She had only a couple hours before she needed to get ready. No, she didn't have a date with Sesshoumaru. She wished but the dude hasn't called her since their last date which was nearly three days and counting. The fucker, she swore. But he was hot, she had to remind herself. He needed time to call her. And hell would freeze over before she called him first. So, she would have to wait like a pathetic bitch. But tonight, she wouldn't have to worry about Sesshoumaru because tonight she was getting her freak on. Sango and a couple of their college buds were going to the new dance club that just opened. Kagome was ready to let herself go. She was under so much stress lately, she thought she would die. Tests, papers, and lab work was constantly floating in her mind and she was ready to just throw them in the back of her head and prepare herself for absolute college friendly mayhem.

She smiled and then finally let her mind wonder into nothingness as she began to form a face in her mind that had left an impression on her since she met him that afternoon. What was his name, she asked herself. She searched through her memories and finally came up with Inuyasha. She turned and found her pillow which was still cold. She held onto it and wondered if she would see him again.

--

"Inuyasha, you asshole!" screamed Kouga as he watched Inuyasha enter into the darken room. Inuyasha looked up and surprisingly revealed a smile across his face. Kouga stepped back and surveyed him, tilting his head slightly.

"What's up bitch," Inuyasha yelled back, taking a seat at his usual broken down chair which he had grown accustomed to. He could hardly feel the springs against his back anymore.

"What the fuck happened to you? Did you get laid?" Kouga asked, scurrying to the dust covered window. With his right hand he wiped at the dust which had become the color of pure black. He looked out the circle of light and shook his head. "It's still light out. How the hell you get laid in the middle of the afternoon."

"I went to work, you dumb idiot," Inuyasha said, his good mood slipping away from his grasp.

"Shut up. Where you work?" Kouga asked, taking a seat by his feet on a plastic crate.

"At the university," he said smiling, his thoughts working their way up to Kagome.

"Shit, there's a fuck load of chicks over there. I want a job at the university."

"They don't allow dogs in."

"Shut the fuck up!"

"Now, now little kids, don't go biting each other's heads off!" Hojo intercepted, throwing a newspaper article on the table. Inuyasha pushed it aside and asked for a beer. Hojo picked it up again and sighed, "Look!"

Inuyasha looked up and stared at him in dismay, "Have you been skipping your medication?"

"Don't be mean. I want you to read the article!"

"I dropped out of high school. I didn't know I still needed that ability."

"Fine, I'll read it. It says that there's a new dance club opening downtown. It's supposed to be hot."

Inuyasha smirked and finally let out a chuckle, "Hojo, don't be a dumb fuck. I—we don't dance. We drink and piss all day. We don't have time in our busy schedule to go out a dance with the local hoohas. Open your fucking eyes! Besides, Kouga here has two left feet!"

"Hey, I dance pretty good!" Kouga retorted.

"Don't kid yourself."

"I think it's a good idea," Miroku said, walking towards the arguing trio.

"Oji, don't tell me you're taking this dumb fuck's side!"

"Hey I'm sick and tired of getting drunk and getting high all the time. I want to do something different for a change."

"Yeah, me too," Jaken screamed from across the room, still drinking a beer.

"Shut up Jaken, you can't go. You're the guard tonight and besides you're too old," Inuyasha bellowed.

"Hey shitheads! I'm only 21. I'm not a freakin' senior citizen!"

"Whatever, you're still guard."

"Does that mean we can go?" Hojo asked. He was eager to put some light from the damper mood everyone was reflecting. He didn't know being in a gang would be so melodramatic.

"Fine, I don't care what the hell you guys do. I don't dance so I'm not going."

"Fine, suit yourself. I heard a lot of college girls were coming…"

Inuyasha straightened up and looked at Miroku, "college girls?"

"Yeah, lots of them…with really tight clothes…"

Inuyasha looked around and stood up, "You guys need a fucking babysitter anyways. Let's go. I'm tired of talking."

--

"Kagome, you have to wear this skirt. You'd look so hot!" Sango screamed as she rushed to finish her makeup. She looked across the room and watched as Kagome continued to struggle with her outfit.

"A skirt? I don't really wear skirts."

"So what? Wear it for tonight. It's just tonight."

Kagome looked down at her pile of rejected clothes and extended her hand towards Sango. Sango tossed her the red skirt which was much shorter than Kagome had anticipated. She hesitated before putting the barely there micro mini on.

"I told you, you would look hot!"

"I look like a slut."

"You don't! I wear that skirt! Now stop your whining and finish putting on your makeup! The girls are going to be here in a couple minutes."

Kagome examined her outfit in the mirror and sighed. If her parents saw her, they would freak. Her v-neck top and micro mini left little to the imagination. She looked over at Sango and realized that next to her, she looked like a nun. She was dressed in a skin-tight silk dress that came up her legs in two slits. Kagome hurried to the bathroom next to Sango and wondered if it wasn't late too change.

DING DONG

Oh shit, it was too late. Kagome raced to open the door and welcome her friends inside. In a matter of moments, the five of them left the apartment and headed towards the car garage.

--

Inuyasha, Miroku, Hojo, and Kouga left Jaken to watch over the crib and Hakkaku to clean their filth. The four felt pretty high and mighty that night considering they all thought for sure they'd get laid. But it was also the feeling of doing something that didn't have anything involved in guns and blood. Plus, they dressed for the occasion and that hardly ever happened. Inuyasha looked at his comrades and smiled. They hopped on the bus and headed towards Oak St. with one hand in their pockets and Inuyasha's on a flask of vodka. If he was going to have fun tonight he needed a little kick in the ass. He was a much happier person when the world was in doubles. Besides, a whole different side to him showed when he got drunk, especially on some vodka. Coronas just didn't cut it for him anymore.

Miroku eyed him and shook his head. He was hoping to have a fun and clean night. But he knew he shouldn't have expected much from Inuyasha. He was just thankful he took the bate and decided to hang out with them. The guy was beginning to become such a damper. He hardly ever laughed anymore expect when they were alone. But the Inuyasha one on one was a much different Inuyasha from the one in front of his gang. The real Inuyasha is kind hearted and a clown. But the gang leader Inuyasha hides behind the shadows, kind of like Batman minus the money and skin tight leather suit. Miroku gagged then from a mental image of Inuyasha in a leather suit.

"Oji, you okay?" Inuyasha asked, patting his buddy's back. Miroku looked up and nodded his head.

Inuyasha leaned in closer and whispered, "You think she'll be there?"

Miroku looked at him and nodded but in reality, he had something else lurking in his perverted thoughts. Sure he was glad to go for Inuyasha's sake but he had also hoped to see someone else at the night club—someone he had been seeing secretly for some time.

"I wouldn't even know what to say," he said, his mind fleeting into daydreams of second encounters with the brown haired mystery girl.

"Then don't say anything. Do what you always do—head straight for the bedroom."

Inuyasha elbowed him and looked down, "It's not even like that with her. There's something more."

"Maybe because she's Sesshoumaru's girl."

Inuyasha thought about that for a moment and shook his head, "I felt the connection even before I knew they were together. I just know it Miroku, she's the one."

Miroku looked at him and let out a chuckle, "Don't tell me you're going soft. You sound like you're in love."

"I think I am."

Miroku stared at him wide eyed. Inuyasha never falls in love, he thought. He breaks hearts but never falls. This girl was doing more damage than he thought.

--

The foursome arrived at the stop and headed out the door cool as ice. No one quite knew about them but they were feared by people in sub-divisional gangs or skanks as they liked to call them. Skanks were gangs that tried to hit it big but doing stupid things like holding up 7elevens and hanging out at the local ghetto fabulous. But they were nothing but two-bit crooks pretending to be better than they were. Everything was underground so no one except Inferno and Severed Chaos. Severed Chaos—he thought. Where the fuck where they anyways, he wondered, as his mind began combing answers for their lack of appearances. It was odd, he had to admit, that they haven't shown themselves for weeks. It was as though they were planning something. Inuyasha was so involved in meeting this mystery girl that his plots on revenge had completely slipped his mind. No matter, he thought, he would think about this tomorrow. He needed to be the one to strike first and not the other way around. He could afford to lose another one of his gang mates. Besides, the first murder was hard to take in already. Another one would do damage to his mind.

RING RING RING

"Miroku, your cell is ringing."

RING RING RING

"I know…"

"Aren't you going to pick the annoying thing up?" Kouga screamed. Inuyasha stared at Miroku curiously. There was a reason he didn't want to pick up his phone. It was the person on the other end. He knows who it is…

"No, I'll just let it ring. Besides, it's probably my old man."

RING RING RING

"Don't be stupid. Here let me pick it up!" Kouga grabbed the cell phone from Miroku's back pocket before he even had time to snatch it. Kouga stared at the number and smiled.

"This isn't your dad's phone number. He lives in the district—wrong area code. Who is it Miroku?"

"None of your business!" Miroku said, fighting to retrieve the cell phone.

"Kouga give the fucking cell back to him," Inuyasha demanded. Kouga turned to him and huffed, "Don't you want to know who Miroku is hiding from us?"

"Just because you aren't getting any phone calls doesn't mean you have to take it out on Miroku," Inuyasha said snidely.

"Hey I get plenty of phone calls…and from girls too…really HOT girls…"

The gang turned their heads and walked on ignoring Kouga. Kouga looked down and followed suit behind them.

--

Kagome searched through the crowd of sticky sweaty grinding bodies in search of her friends. She had lost them the moment they all entered into the club. She was drowning in a sea of bodies and none of them belong to her shipwrecked friends. She headed towards the bar and asked for a Cosmopolitan. The bar tender looked at her and poured her a coke. Kagome smiled and took the coke.

She looked around and wondered where her trusty sidekick was. She had run off when they entered, insisting she needed to touch up on her makeup. But when Kagome went to the bathroom she didn't see her. It was at that point that she lost everyone. Great, she was a freaking loser drinking a coke. She looked down at her feet which were killing her. Sango insisted she wear a pair of stilettos. This was the last time she let that girl dress her. She looked like Hooker Barbie. Kagome downed her drink and went back into the dance floor to find her friends. After a couple minutes of searching and shoving, she gave up again decided to head back to her safety spot. But before she could escape the sea of bodies, a hand held her back and she turned to face a guy with dark brown hair. He looked at her and smiled.

"Excuse me, but you're holding onto my wrist."

"I know," he responded, "You want to dance?"

"Not really."

Kouga edged forward and looked into her eyes, "Don't be shy. I won't bite."

Kagome tore his claws from her wrist and turned her back eager to find sanctuary.

"Hey, don't turn your back on me!"

Kagome continued to dig through the mass of sweating bodies. She was sure he was still fast on her trail but the more the crowd devoured her, the more her migraine grew. It didn't take long before the room began to spin and she felt the vomit begin to form at the pit of her stomach. She stopped maneuvering through the crowd and stopped to find an exit to breathe some fresh air. Yes, that was what she needed, her mind screamed, some fresh air. She bent over and clutched her stomach, begging it not to give out. Finally, she looked up and was relieved to see the glowing green sign of salvation overhead—the exit. She sighed and began to reach for it like it was gold itself. But, before she could reach it, the same hungry hand, reached for her again. This time, she did not bother to look up.

Kouga smiled after he grabbed onto the brown haired beauty. He wasn't that easy to lose. However, his smile turned into a disappointed frown after he realized the sickly look on her face. He let go of her instantly and watched as her eyelids began to blink rapidly.

"Hey, are you going to throw up or something?" he asked. She didn't answer; she simply nodded her head slowly and quickly covered her mouth to motion her need to gag. Kouga looked around disgusted and had the urge to leave the nasty chick where she was but somewhere inside of him—he called it his goodhearted Kouga—pushed him to help her out so she could get some fresh air. He sighed and led her to the backdoor, where she quickly threw up. Kouga looked down and nearly gagged himself. She had thrown up all over his shoes.

--

Inuyasha looked around and headed for the bar for a glass of coke. He was a little lost and completely confused. He wasn't much of a dancer and didn't like the idea of foreign bodies bumping into his. Well, okay so that part wasn't so horrible…sometimes. He had spent an hour looking for a familiar face, even Kouga's. But was disappointed to realize they had gone off into their own little corners—drinking, dancing, and flirting. Inuyasha felt as though he had enough of the party scene. He was more of a drinker anyways. He sighed and asked the bartender for a coke.

"I'm glad," the bartender began, "you're the first kid to ask for a coke. I'm glad there are still sober people out here…" He reached over and poured him a tall cold glass of coke and left to tend to the other customers. Inuyasha reached into his jacket pocket and took out his flask of vodka. He smiled and poured it into his glass of coke.

--

"Shit! You bitch! You threw up all over my shoes!" Kouga yelled, unable to look at his sneakers. He looked around and threw his hands over his face in frustration.

"I'm sorry," Kagome managed to say in between gags and coughs. Well, she wasn't that sorry. For one thing he was a jerk and secondly, throwing up had cured her migraine. She wiped at her bit of vomit on the side of her mouth on her sleeve. She had wanted to smile but held it back in fear of making him angrier. She still wasn't sure if he was the type to hit a girl.

"That's all you can fucking say?!" He reached for her sleeve and pulled her towards him. She tried to release herself from his grip but was much too weak. Kagome realized that it didn't matter if she was a girl or not. He'd punch anyone and anything that pissed him off.

"Let go of me you jerk!" she screamed, continually trying to escape from his superhuman grip. She decided it would create more damage if she used her legs also. So, she began to kick at him. It was good thing she was wearing Sango's stiletto pumps.

"First you fucking throw up on me and then you kick me!" Kouga pulled her forward until they were merely inches away. They looked at each other for awhile, Kagome still trying to fight his gaze and his grip. She looked away and he violently reached for her chin and pulled her back. She contemplated spitting on him but held back in fear.

Kagome didn't like the look in his eyes. There was something devilish about it, as if he was contemplating something himself.

"Okay, I'm sorry! Will you let me go?!" Kagome screamed.

Kouga strengthened his grip on her face to cease her infernal racket and finally dove in for an unwanted kiss. Kagome struggled to free herself from his lips. He took his sweet time. He finally let her go and threw her back.

"Tastes like crap!" he shouted. He wiped his mouth, still tasting vomit.

Kagome eyed his in anger and turned her head. "You asshole!"

"Don't tell me you didn't like it!"

"I'd rather have my stomach pumped!"

Kouga snickered and turned to find a bathroom to wipe the vomit off his shoe, "You're spunky…I like that."

He turned a corner and was quickly pushed back by a forceful punch to the stomach. He was hurled to the floor from the unexpected jab and looked up to see an all too familiar face. He laughed and stood up. Kagome looked on in the background.

"Sup, fucker…"

--

Inuyasha finished his "special coke" and took a breath before again setting foot into the sea of sweat. He collided into a couple girls who immediately began dirty dancing with him. Any other time he would have jumped at an opportunity to get his freak on but at that moment his mood was just too sour from the disappointment of not seeing Kagome. He pushed through and continued to search for her.

He felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around annoyed to see Kanna staring at him. He sighed and looked her over. She was looked delicious but he wasn't in the mood to play any games.

"Hey stranger," she said, her voice shouting over the noise of the music. She reached over and took his hand. He gave in and followed her. He was a little bored anyways. She was always full of surprises.

She led him out of the crowd and sat him at the bar.

"I'm not thirsty," he said nonchalantly but sat on the stool nevertheless. She smiled and ordered vodka on the rocks.

"Why don't they cart you?"

"Do I look like I drink soda?" she asked. The bartender returned with her vodka and a sly smile on his face. Inuyasha shook his head and tapped his fingers on the bar table.

"So, what do you want Kanna?" he asked annoyed but a little happy to finally being able to talk with another person. He scanned through the crowd again in search of his dream girl.

"Who you looking for Inuyasha?" Kanna asked sipping at her vodka.

"Nobody," he muttered.

Kanna smiled and slipped a hand onto his knee, "So what's new, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked down at her hand which was growing nearer and nearer to his…

He slipped into his chair and cleared his throat, "I don't feel like it, Kanna…"

She frowned, "You always did before…"

"Cut the shit. I know you're stalling me. Where's Onigumo?"

"Stalling? Ye with little trust." She giggled and again reached for his leg. Inuyasha brushed her away and searched for Kouga. Great, he muttered, and I was hoping for a happy and clean night.

He bumped into Miroku on the way and signaled him to follow him. Miroku was reluctant to follow but saw the seriousness in Inuyasha's eyes and sighed. He turned to Sango and kissed her on the lips.

"And this is where I exit…" he said to her and disappeared into the crowd.

Sango opened her mouth to call for him but stopped herself. She looked around and hoped nothing serious was happening. If shit was going down, she'd need to call her brother. She reached into her pocket and retrieved her cell phone. She pushed her way through the crowd and finally found a quiet spot outside the doors to the club.

She quickly dialed her brother's cell number.

"Kohaku, get your ass over here…I think some shit is going down. Oh and bring reinforcement…"

--

"Onigumo, buddy…pal," Kouga snickered. Onigumo wasn't happy.

"Kouga, you shit-face. I thought you had two left feet. Why you here?"

"Would you people stop saying that! I can dance, dammit!" Kouga huffed.

Onigumo ignored him and signaled for his thugs to surround him. "I told you that the next time I saw you, I'd break your face in half."

"Aww and break this cute little face?" Kouga put a hand on his chin.

"Shut-up! I can't stand to listen to your voice!" Onigumo yelped.

"A lot of girls think I sound sexy."

Onigumo lunged for him but was too slow for Kouga's wolf-like reflexes. Kouga side stepped him and Onigumo grabbed onto air.

"A little rusty?" Kouga teased.

Onigumo wasted no time. He caught Kouga off guard with a side punch to his ribs. Kouga's body bent forward from the pain and he clutched onto his side. Onigumo went in for another punch, this time to his face. Kouga was again forced forward and onto the ground from a punch to his cheek. Kouga lay on the floor immobile for a moment but was not ready to give in yet. He kicked his leg forward and landed a hit on Onigumo's side. Onigumo, not expecting the kick, was pushed to the side. Kouga quickly stood and punched him hard on the face.

"You punk! How dare you hit my face!" Kouga screamed.

"Hey, watch out!" Kagome yelled from a safe distance. Kouga turned and smiled, "I didn't know you ca--"

Kouga felt a punch to his side, the same place Onigumo had just punched him. He looked up and saw Onigumo's thugs surrounding him.

--

"Inuyasha, what's up?" Miroku asked, disappointed he had to cut his fine evening with Sango short.

"Kouga's in trouble."

"He can take care of himself. Besides, he such a pain in the--"

"It's Onigumo."

Miroku grew serious and searched for the exit. As far as everyone knew, Kouga and Onigumo were deadly enemies. A hot sweaty club and two brooding gang members—that was never a happy combination.

Onigumo had a shaky history with the Inferno Six because he used to be in Inferno Six. Actually, he was well respected. He was fast on his feet and his fists were made of steel. Since all the current members of Inferno of neophytes, no one knows for sure what went down between Inferno and Onigumo. Well, except Jaken but he's not much for flashbacks. No one asks and no one gets confused with his nonsense ramblings. One thing is for certain—Onigumo is out for Inferno blood. Since disbanding from Inferno, he has created his own gang. It isn't much. It consists mostly of wannabe punks which is why they still have skank status. Soon, everyone is sure; they'll get higher in the gang ranks. But for now, they're just crud on their shoes.

Onigumo's beef with Kouga is a pretty typical scenario. Onigumo was just forming his newfound gang which he calls Black Tiger. He had to act tougher than he was and fight harder than he ever fought to win respect from the outside. Actually, he was already quite respected from his time in Inferno. But, he felt as though he needed more. It didn't take long for followers to form and before long he became a legend in the under world. So, it was quite surprising when the king of the Black Tigers fell in love.

A couple weeks after his gang formed they got into a brawl with a skank gang. The fight was bloody and three people who badly injured. One of them eventually died in the hospital. Onigumo was called into court for murder. Luckily, Onigumo comes from a prominent family of well respected doctors. A couple millions here and there and he was set free with a slap on the wrist, doing community service at the local school. What no one knew was that he was secretly involved with his lawyer's daughter, Yumi.

The Yumi days were a legend. He became soft. He thought they were in love. But, he was wrong. He found Yumi in bed three months into their relationship with no one other than Kouga. The scandal created a feud and Onigumo's hatred for all things Inferno grew. But his hatred for Kouga was unimaginable. A couple bloody fights broke out between Inferno and Black Tiger. Everyone was paranoid, ready to attack at a moments notice because no one was ever safe. Kouga had been jumped several times by the gang on his walks alone. The hospital became a second home to him. But, before long, Kouga grew stronger and the fights became a deadly routine. Take a leak, go to the downtown market, and get beaten to a pulp. No one was certain, at the time, how long it would last and how many more days or months it would take before they could all get a good night's sleep. No matter where they went, Black Tiger was always there, ready to pounce. It seemed as if it would last forever. Inferno learned to deal. It had to take the death of one person to end the feud. After half a year of fighting and blood gang warfare, Yumi's death ended the battle and forced the two men to surrender their hatred.

During the bloody feud, Yumi and Kouga continued to see each other as if everything was okay. Kouga knew that continuing to see Yumi would risk her life. But he did not give in. He had taken the one person Onigumo loved the most in the whole world. She was his and his forever. He was too blinded by sex and deceit to realize the danger he was putting her in. She died by Onigumo's own gun, in an attempt to save Kouga's life. She died instantly because, after all, when Onigumo aimed—he aimed to kill. The gun shot through her head and tore her brain apart. The papers said it was a mugging despite the fact she still had her 4 carrot diamond ring on her finger and a necklace worth thousands around her neck. Go figure…

--

"If we don't find them, Onigumo's going to rip his to shreds," Inuyasha growled, finally reaching the backdoor. Miroku followed by his side and nodded.

"I know."

The two men both reached for the door and opened it in unison. The doors swung open and it didn't take long before they found Kouga. The two men were battling it out and it was not certain who was winning. Kouga had an equal amount of blood on his face as Onigumo. But it was Onigumo's eyes that set fire to the fight. They were cold, dark, and teeming with hatred.

Inuyasha stepped forward, deciding what to do next. He could not just jump in because that would cause a full out battle and Inuyasha did not want this scene to turn out bloody.

Inuyasha looked over at Miroku. He also appeared to be uncertain as to what they should do. So, Inuyasha took the initiative and decided that the best possible choice was to try and talk some sense into Onigumo before things got out of hand and they were all looking at a pair of bars and handcuffs.

"Onigumo, what's up?" Inuyasha asked causally.

Onigumo paid no attention to him and continued to punch the life out of Kouga, who was laughing like a jackass, causing Onigumo to punch harder and faster. Kouga never learned.

"Hey man, we can work this out. You don't want the cops breaking this up. You'd go to jail again…we'd all go to jail. Your father can't bail you out forever."

Onigumo cease mid punch and let go of his hold on Kouga's hair. His head slammed on the ground and Kouga remained motionless on the ground, bloody covering his face. Onigumo got to his feet and walked towards Inuyasha.

Their eyes locked for a few seconds as if the other was trying to desperately read their mind. Onigumo took and step back and looked over at his gang, who were alert and ready when need be. Onigumo looked at Inuyasha again and punched him in the stomach. Inuyasha took a step back from the unexpected blow to his lower abdomen but within seconds regained his composer.

"Nice punch," he said. He was trying with all his will and every ounce of patience within him not to jump the guy and beat him to bloody pulp.

"Just because you're the leader of Inferno now doesn't make you king of the jungle. You're still a nothing to me," Onigumo returned to Kouga's side and looked up at Inuyasha again, "And to remind you…this is not your fight. This is between me and Kouga."

"If Kouga's in it, I'm in it."

"And I," Miroku said from behind.

Onigumo looked at the two and chuckled, "Bunch of babies. Fine with me. I like a crowd watching when I beat the life out of someone. So take a seat and enjoy the show, gentlemen. His death isn't going to come quickly."

Suddenly Inuyasha grew dizzy. He shook it off and ignored the momentary wave od nausea.

"I thought it was over, Onigumo! I thought there was peace!" Miroku bellowed.

"Wake up dumbass! This isn't fucking Candyland! You're in the underworld! If you wanted peace and love, you should have thought of another career!" Onigumo grew angry. He looked down at the mess he made with Kouga's face and shook his head, "It'll never be over. Now no one will look at his fucking face."

Kouga reached up and punched him hard in the face. Onigumo was thrown backwards. Kouga jumped to his feet quickly with all his strength and jumped onto Onigumo.

"You fucking asshole! How many times do I have to tell you not to punch me face. Punch my fucking stomach, why don't you!" He punched him again, but Onigumo did not react. He just took it. His gang members were looking worried. They were told not to interfere but their leader was in danger. They looked at each other for answers but found none. One of them stepped forward, nevertheless, and jumped Kouga. Kouga was thrown off of Onigumo and was now wrestling with one of the gang members.

Inuyasha jumped in and tried to pry the guy off of Kouga but was intercepted by another of the Black Tiger members. He punched Inuyasha hard in the stomach. Inuyasha punched him back and hoped it would keep him on the ground. But he was wrong. Before long, everyone was in and Inuyasha was powerless to stop it. He knew it wouldn't take long before the police came. All the while, Inuyasha's searing dizziness was taking a toll to his judgment and motor skills.

"What the fucks going on here?!" yelled a voice from a distance. The fight stood still for a moment as Inuyasha and the others searched for the owner. They had thought it was the police but it was only a group of guys. Inuyasha knew instantly they were part of a gang. They were wearing Red and White. The colors of some skank gang called The Trinity.

"Now, I know you all didn't get together without calling us!"

Inuyasha sighed. His body was bruised and broken from the fight that just occurred and he was ready for another one. His head was weakening him faster and faster.

Inuyasha stared at the figure, which appeared to the leader of the group. No one knew for sure who the leader of The Trinity because the gang had so many members and a few hundred divisions. But the main leader has always been a complete mystery to everyone. Inuyasha knew for sure the guy before him was not the leader. The leader, he knew, never dealt with trivial affairs like a backdoor fight.

"Skank, what are you doing here, sticking your fucking nose in other people's fights?" one of the Black Tiger members yelled. The guy just laughed.

"I'm here to save the day," he said and walked towards the guy, then planting a good punch on his face which caused the guy to tear up. The Trinity was on them in a second. Inuyasha thought he was outnumbered—the Black Tiger was one thing but a handful of Trinity members were another. However, soon, Inuyasha realized that the Trinity wasn't just here to have a little fun; they were here to help Inferno.

Inuyasha watched in confusion. There was no alliance. No connection. Why would Trinity help Inferno? There had to be a connection…what was it? Inuyasha was confused but he did not complain. He continued to battle it out and he was kicking some ass until he felt a hot searing pain run down his spine. He turned around and saw that one of the Tiger members had hit him in the back with a piece of wood which he had found by the dumpster. The fucker, Inuyasha cursed before falling to the ground. This was unlike him…he mumbled. But, the pain in his head was just too unreal. Miroku ran to his side and tried to wake him up. Inuyasha awoke instantly but still fighting the urge to faint or hurl.

"Shit, Inuyasha, what happened? The cops are coming! Hurry up!" Miroku yelled. Inuyasha nodded and got to his feet. He followed behind Miroku, who was carrying Kouga along with the leader of the Trinity.

Inuyasha tried to run after them but his head seemed like it was going to burst. Sure that Inuyasha was right behind him; Miroku continued to carry Kouga's bloody body until he reached the hideout.

Inuyasha had fallen to the ground and was now unable to carry his body forward. He gave in to the pain in his head. His eyes closed, he heard the sirens coming nearer. Shit, he thought, I'm going to jail. No one's going to bail me out…I'm done for. This headache, he wondered, it's like I've been drugged…

Inuyasha, unable to think and feel, lay motionless on the ground. A figure from behind the dumpster emerged. She had not seen the fight because she was too scared to come out. But she knew it was a gang fight. She was relieved to hear the police sirens and she leaped from behind the dumpster before the police came. She was not in the mood and right mind to answer questions she did not know the answer to. But when she emerged from the sanctity of the dumpster, she was surprised to be a familiar face…

"Inuyasha…" she gasped.
