Here is chapter two of 'They Call Her: Kagome. I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha.
I gasped at the all too familiar face of Kouga. I had seen him once while walking by the police station. I earlier said that almost all the kids in my area either grew up to be cops or gangsters. Can you guess with one Kouga ended up being? If you guessed Gangster, you guessed wrong. Kouga became a cop. A highly respected one at that. When I last saw him he was just being his gorgeous self walking out of the police station and driving home. I don't even think he recognized me.
"That's Kouga Estphan, he was accused with murder. Do you know him?" Sango asked.
"Murder?" I asked incredulously. Kouga is as low as it gets but murder seemed out of style for him.
"Yah, he got some guy by the name of Ashen Stepler." I knew Ashen he went to my school. He was a computer geek. And if there was a geekier kid in the whole wide world I'd eat my hamster. "You might want to start on something smaller, have you an experience in this area of work?" I had no idea what I was doing, the closest thing I've ever done was trying to fly of the gauge and that didn't work out very well.
"Not much" Sango raised an eyebrow.
"Then you'll need some one to give you some tips" Sango looked around to make sure no one was there. "You should talk to Ranger. I'll call him and have him met you some where, what your phone number?"
"Who is Ranger?" I wanted to know.
"He's the greatest bounty hunter of all time! Super mysterious and super sexy" I raised an eyebrow at this but didn't reply. "What's your cell phone number?" I gave her my phone number and walked out of the building. Where to go next? I flopped in to my car and sat in the air-conditioned comfort. Then my phone went off. I pulled it out of my pocket and answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, its Sango were are you?" I snorted, that was fast.
"In the parking lot"
"Go to the café on Nordoms street you'll find him there"
"Ranger? How will I know who he is?" I heard a laugh on the other side.
"Come on he's only the sexiest guy in the world! He has white hair and golden eyes, you can't miss him" I silently hung up the phone. Wondering to my self, sexier then Kouga?
I pulled into the parking lot in less then twenty minutes and strolled inside. It was a nice café; it had a Mexican theme of orange and red with little lights hovering over the tables. I felt out of place in my casual genes and t-shirt but I let it roll of my shoulder. I looked around and quickly realized that there were not many people there. If I were to guess I'd say about fifteen in all not including the waiters and waitresses. I glanced around no white headed men. A frown appeared on my face as I squinted my eyes in concentration. Nope none that I could see. I felt some thing tap my arm. I whirled around to see what appeared to be Ranger.
"Kagome I presume?" He asked. I froze as I took in his features. He had long white hair and molten gold eyes. He wore black cargo pants and a white shirt under a lose black jacket. He was indeed the sexiest guy I have ever seen. Sexier then Kouga? I'd have to think about that. I nodded slowly swallowing the ball in my throat.
"Ranger?" He nodded then stood there for a moment before pushing me out of the way.
"Hey! What's up with that?" I asked angrily. He turned before replied.
"You were ignoring the waiter that's been trying to talk to you for the last five minutes" I looked behind me and there sure enough was a waiter. A very pissed waiter, but a waiter none the less.
"Are you going to sit down or what?" The waiter asked in an irritated tone. I muttered a quick apology then allowed the waiter to take us to our seats. He took us to a booth on the far wall next to a window where we could plainly see the street. He sat down on one side and I sat on the other.
"So what Sango tells me is that your Zack's cousin and you don't know what you're doing" He let a small smile grace his lips. "Who are you going after?"
"Kouga Estphan" I said smiling back. His smile grew to revel prefect white teeth.
"Babe, How long have you been a bounty hunter?" He asked. Babe? What in the world? I looked at my watch.
"About twenty minutes" He let out a bark of laughter.
"You're going after a murderer with Twenty minutes worth of experience?" Laughter was shining in his eyes as he said this.
"Ya and?" I said defensively. He shook his head.
"Babe there is no way your going to be able to catch this guy. I'd bet you don't even have a gun." He said leaning in to the comfy booth.
"Why would I have a gun?" I asked in confusion. I mean it's not like I'm going to shoot him right?
"Kid listen to me, this guys a cop, and he knows it all. Don't you think that there is a reason that cops carry a gun twenty-four seven? It's because they need to protect them selves from what ever might attack them. Babe if a bounty hunter is after you it's instinct to protect them selves. That's were there guns come in."
"Why would Kouga want to shoot me?" Ranger smirked.
"I suppose you know this guy personally?" he asked. You could say that.
"Yah he used to live on my block when we were kids" I said. It's the truth and he doesn't need to know me whole history.
"Babe living on the same block isn't going to help you much when your dieing from a bullet wound" I gasped, maybe he's right. He let out a sigh. "Why don't you let one of the professionals take care of this one?"
"Like you?" I asked. He paused a moment before saying with a small smile.
"Like me"
"What's your real name?" I asked. What kind of name is Ranger?
"Sesshoumaru Takashia" I blinked a few times. Long name.
"For now your Ranger" I declared.
"Good call Babe"
I left the café awhile later with a bag of Mexican for Josh and myself for later. I ambled in to the car and set of home. It was about ten thirty we where talking for five hours? Ranger gave me a number and an address for a place where I could get a gun and cuffs. After I refused to give up the job he told me the importance of the different things that bounty hunters use. Like pepper spray it's great for blinding my capture and stun gun that stuns the person I touch with it. All the while calling me either 'Babe' or 'Kid'. It's not that it bothered me but no ones ever called me 'Babe' before. I drove the rest of the way home thinking about Ranger, Kouga and the rest of my strawberry cheese cake that was sitting in a cooler in the trunk.
The thought of catching Kouga was pretty sweet. I mean can you say: revenge? Oh ya, that would show him! However the idea of shooting a gun or getting shot at was less then desirable. I really don't want to shoot Kouga just get him packed away in jail were he can think of all that bad things he's done to me. Mom always described Jail as time out for a very long time and I still go by that philosophy.
I pulled up into my apartment parking lot. Parked, and then dragged my self up to my apartment along with all my goodies. I stopped outside my door pulled out my keys, unlocked the door and stepped inside. The house was as I left it. A wreck. I sighed and dropped my Mexican and cake in the fridge or cupboard I couldn't see clearly. I was so tired. I walked in to my room and fell on my bed, instantly falling in to deep slumber.
Guess what I'm all done with that chapter! I know it was shorter then the one previous but I still liked it and I hope you did too. Sesshoumaru is way out of character. But this is my Sesshoumaru so he will act as I say. And I say he's going to be a rich, sexy, bounty hunter. If you don't care for MY Sesshoumaru, that's your fault! It's almost my birth day then I will legally be allowed on here! Hiphip-horraaa!! September 6th!
