Chappie Two
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nada. If I did, I'd have crazy rabid fan girls hounding telling me it's my fault Inuyasha's institutionalized.
A/n: Hey ppl, I just reread my chappie before and did I write that? Hmmm, drugs make me forgetful So does sugar. Thank you ppl soooo much for reviewing! You make me sooo happi! I really wish I could've updated sooner, but I've gotten sick and I feel really terrible. It also doesn't help that my computer hates me and I can't get on the Internet. I've had this chappie done for a while now, but I couldn't put it up because well, my computer hates me. Let me just warn you ahead that I'm a realli random person, so.... Expect a lot of weird stuff
Inuyasha had worked out most of the details regarding Kagome. Fortunately for him, she and his aunt Kaede knew each other and Kagome was going to stay with her while her family stayed in Hiroshima. She had decided to come to Tokyo ahead of her family to get acquainted with the people. Being the perfect nephew and everything Inuyasha would stay with his very old withered aunt for the same duration as Kagome and the rest would be simple. Of course, Kaede would be suspicious of him since he never visited, but then again she might welcome the company. It was a long shot, but he'd think of something by then.
Little Kagome might have sounded innocent but subconsciously no one was that pure. In the article she sounded very mature, but her demeanour was so childlike, so naïve. How much fun would taking her be? He highly doubted that she had never once thought about sex or whatnot. She was a teenage girl, and unless she had grown up secluded from every male in the area there was no way she could be so chaste. Either that or if she was a lesbian, but in the article it had said that she had a boyfriend didn't it? Even the Christian girl he had taken hadn't been completely pure. Oddly enough she had turned out to be as dirty as they came, the change wasn't unwelcome, just very surprising. The ones who swore to stay untainted until marriage, were often the ones in denial. Either that or they were the ones with gay boyfriends, but he highly doubt that was the case. It was a possibility, but a highly unlikely one in his mind.
Inuyasha had packed everything a while ago, ready for the hunt to begin. How much fighting would there be on her part? A lot he hoped. It would be absolutely no fun if she didn't prove to be a challenge. He had been bored for quite a while and now he could put his talent to use. Yup, you heard that right, his talent. Yes he was egotistical, but with his reputation wasn't he entitled to it? He was as excited as he had been when he had bought the last Bob the Builder doll so that little kid with red-hair couldn't get it. Inuyasha would have given it to the kid, but the stupid thing had glared at him and stuck his little tongue out. That had definitely been a challenge to see who could get the doll.
Bob the builder was out to get him. He never stopped talking, and the worse part were the beady eyes that watched him, waiting. He felt like the guy in the Levi's commercial, with the mannequin stalking him. He shuddered thinking about the doll. He had nothing to worry about anymore, the doll was probably somewhere at the dump and he was stalker-free. The doll reminded him too much of the stuffed bunny from his childhood. The eyes...
Inuyasha glared at his window as his thoughts fell on the bunny. His father had chosen it to give to his girlfriend a long time ago and at the time Inuyasha would have sworn on his life that that thing was Satan's seed. Sure, it looked cute enough, but it was evil. He has chucked it into the fireplace to his father's dismay and his relief. He narrowed his eyes as he imagined the smirking bunny. Death to the evil thing, and real rabbits too, they pooped too much for their own good. For all he knew they were the reason the world was so polluted. Eat. Poop. Sleep. Poop. The life of a Bunny. He continued glaring in a face that just screamed 'I would kill you if you were here right now, but you're already dead'. not to mention not real
He took a taxi to the shore since he needed to take a boat over and he wasn't too fond of leaving his car right out in the open for so long. He didn't know how long he would be staying at his aunt Kaede's and his car was too precious to leave out where anyone could steal it. He figured he could get Kagome in three or four days so he hadn't packed much. Inuyasha was rich, but contrary to what people believed he preferred to earn his own money. Or blackmail people, there wasn't really a difference; it still took some effort on his part. He preferred using money that his father had no control of. His father wasn't exactly the best person in the world. Of course if you ignored the blackmailing, bribing, sleeping with women that could have been his daughters... Even when you ignored those facts the only thing left was the verbal abuse and regular physical abuse. Yep, he had the best father in the world. Sarcasm makes the world a lovely place.
Time past quickly enough on the boat as he thought of the many things he would do to Kagome. He had never spent more then a few hours with his hag of an aunt, and frankly he had never been very fond of her. Aside from all the lectures she had given him and the insults he had given her... Well that was basically the only interaction between the two. No doubt Kaede would be suspicious of his intentions, which was why he decided not to sugar-coat his visit and pretend he liked her. Nope, he would tell the hag that Kikyou was repainting the whole house and he needed a place to stay for a while. The lie would hold up as long as she didn't call home and speak with Kikyou. Kaede and Kikyou had been very close themselves, but then again Kikyou was like that with everyone. She pretended to be the nice girl everybody thought she was until she was alone with Inuyasha.
When there was no one else around, Kikyou enjoyed telling him what idiots everyone was to think that she wouldn't do them harm if given the chance. Normally people would say family above all else, but in Kikyou's case it was her comfort above everyone else's. Despite everything, she didn't enjoy anyone talking badly about her. Sad really since she was actually a bad person at heart. She strived to be perfect in front of everyone although she could care less for them. She had a dark soul, but she hated people talking ill of her. Inuyasha smiled at that particular thought as he picked up his luggage and started walking towards his aunt's shrine-like house.
Despite that fact that his aunt Kaede was a rich person she insisted on keeping a low profile. She used money when needed and didn't spend a penny more. Of course her house was still slightly luxurious, but nowhere near as comfortable as his own was. It would do though, it wasn't as if he was snobby... well maybe just a little. He enjoyed the wilderness just as much as a mattress, it didn't make that much of a difference to him. What mattered was whom he would be laying beside. No one expected him to travel without a female companion did they? No matter where he was it wouldn't be any fun without someone to play with. Of course that person had to be female.
He didn't swing the other way; there were always people who wanted to convert him, but 'feh'. He was straight and enjoyed the pleasures of a woman. He shuddered thinking of one particular person's come on. Scary was putting it lightly, when your friend gets you a big cake for your birthday you don't really expect him to jump out of your cake do you? Naked nonetheless, the flimsy thong didn't count as real clothes. He shuddered again; he had finally convinced the person he wasn't interested after many threats. Inuyasha had to admit it helped when he threatened to get some girl to rape him. Sad really, but if it worked who was he to complain?
Inuyasha walked up the steps to her house, anxious to see his prey. Coincidently enough, the girl he had chosen looked very similar to Kikyou. He hadn't chosen the girl for that reason, but he wasn't going to complain about it. She looked decent enough to him and as long as she didn't grow a moustache or something there would be no major problem. Yes Inuyasha was shallow, could anyone truthfully say that they weren't? If there was then he hadn't met that person yet. He walked around his aunt's house, figuring that they would be in the backyard. Sure his aunt didn't have a big house, but her backyard could past as a forest itself. It was considerably larger then her house had ever been, even with the renovations and the extra bedroom added.
He had never told his Aunt Kaede that he enjoyed her backyard but that didn't mean he didn't. Her backyard was so peaceful, almost a sanctuary to him. Never in his life had he been at peace, the closest he had gotten was while he was enjoying his own company on her God tree. Of course he would never tell anyone that sort of thing if they asked him. He had a reputation to keep and saying something like that wouldn't exactly help him.
Inuyasha dropped his luggage where he assumed he'd be sleeping and decided to go out and work on his archery a bit while he waited. He wasn't bad or anything; at least he didn't think so. His goal for today was to hit the target that being the reason why he never took archery in school. He excelled in most sports, but for some reason he couldn't hit the target in archery. He had been close once, he had almost hit the side, but then it had swerved past and into the trees. When he had gone to search for the arrow, he came across a few girls skinny-dipping. He had only been fifteen then, but if it hadn't been for the arrow then he would never have figured out his current favourite hobby.
He concentrated at the target, willing himself to hit it. He aimed carefully and let go of the arrow, watching as it zoom by the target and disappear from view. Inuyasha let out a string of colourful curses as he contemplated whether he should drown the target or burn it. Both ideas sounded very appealing at the moment.
"You need to stand straighter, and you don't really need to close your eyes to hit the target." A voice replied to the side.
"What do you know!" Inuyasha barked, not turning around. His ego didn't like anyone correcting him, especially when he was doing something he didn't exactly excel at.
"Well first of all, you don't need to swear so much and second, I was on the archery team last year." She said dryly.
"Who are you!" Inuyasha said, irritated with whoever this person was. Some reason the thought never occurred to him...
"My names Kagome Higurashi." She said, although slightly annoyed with the oh so rude Inuyasha.
He perked up and her name and mentally slapped himself for making such a bad impression. Honestly, how were you supposed to seduce a girl when you yelled at her on first sight? Inuyasha smiled and turned around to face the girl, ready to fix his mistake. "Apologies for my rudeness, I don't particularly enjoy being watched when I think I'm alone." He stuck his hand out and waited for her to take it.
Kagome smiled tightly and shook his hand. "I know exactly who you are." She quickly let go of his hand and began walking away in her nice tight clothes.
Of course Inuyasha would have enjoyed it more if she had been wearing none, but you don't always get what you want. Perhaps his aunt had told her who he was? Kagome looked good enough, fit, curvaceous, and not to mention hot. She wasn't stunning the way Kikyou looked, but she drew his attention nonetheless. She had an innocence that Kikyou could never possess. Cute too. Looking back up, he realized that she had already started walking back towards the house. Inuyasha dropped the bow and arrows on the floor and ran to catch up, promising to deal with the target later.
He grinned charmingly at her as he caught up. "I don't suppose you'd like me to show you around my aunt's house Kagome, you don't mind if I call you Kagome do you? Or do you prefer Ms.Higurashi?"
Kagome nodded her head as she kept walking. "I don't mind at all if you call me Kagome, but your aunt has already been kind enough to show me around."
He kept walking beside her, deciding that she would be slightly harder to win over then he had originally anticipated. "Maybe you'd like to be shown around Tokyo? I've heard from my sister that you're new here?" He wanted to keep the conversation light and away from anything that sounded like a date.
Suddenly Kagome stopped in her steps and turned around, glaring at him. "I'm not stupid Inuyasha. I happen to know exactly whom you are and exactly what you enjoy to do in your spare time. I have a boyfriend, and I don't sleep around if that's what you're looking for."
Inuyasha stared, shocked with her outburst. Collecting himself quickly, he feigned innocence. "I don't think I know what you're talking about Kagome."
She walked up to him and poked him in the chest. "I don't really care if you stay here, but I don't want you hitting on me. If you stay away from me then everything will be fine."
Still acting the innocent, Inuyasha pretended to look surprise. Actually, he was surprised. He just hadn't expected her to find out until he had finished with her. "Who told you that crap about me?"
She spinned around quickly and started walking again. "A very good acquaintance of mine. Besides, I don't think it's any of your business."
Impatience and anger never mixed well, especially when Inuyasha was feeling those emotions. "If someone's telling lies about me behind my back, then I think I have the right to know who it was."
She continued walking, ignoring that fact that he was ready to hurt someone. "It's nothing personal Inuyasha. My friend just happens to be very trustworthy and I can't tell you who that person is. How would I know you wouldn't try to get back at them for telling me the truth?"
"So you're saying you'd rather believe this friend of yours then finding out for yourself?" He asked in disbelief. Out of all the things he had been prepared for, he had never expected for someone to warn Kagome ahead.
Kagome smiled brightly as she stopped in front of what he believed to be her room. "Yeah, I guess so. Don't take it the wrong way Inuyasha, I'd just rather not make friends with the wrong people." Not letting Inuyasha get a word in, Kagome closed the door to his anger. Who the hell would have warned her about him? Who would care enough to warn her ahead? Seriously, who would take the time to tip her off? More importantly, who was dumb enough to get in his way?
Whoever it what, Inuyasha would figure out who that person was, and then that person would suffer a hell of a lot of pain. He would have had Kagome easily enough if it hadn't been for the tip-off. Did that person seriously believe that he wouldn't be able to find out who they were? No one had ever crossed him and made it out clean, it just didn't happen. He started walking out of the house, thinking of who could possibly have told her. Kagome lived all the way in Hiroshima, who knew Kagome and who would want to screw him up? Both very interesting questions that would be very soon answered. Of course it would be a little harder then just that. There were a lot of people who'd love a chance to get back at him. Plenty of girls he'd humiliated, not to mention the hundreds of guys he'd blackmailed. He was known to spend nights pleasuring their girlfriend's much to their dismay. He wasn't exactly quiet about his conquests, and their boyfriend's didn't exactly appreciate his... work. If he could figure out the people he'd run into who were acquainted with Kagome, then he'd be able to get somewhere. It couldn't be that hard to figure out whom knew Kagome.
There was also a few other people, but if he narrowed the people down to the vengeful ones, then chances were it was either Yura, Arisu, Kakashi, Kouga or many, many others. None of them were half as vengeful as he was, but they came pretty close. Actually, he thought that Yura surpassed him. Psychotic people were scary. Inuyasha began walking; pulling out his cell phone, ready to call his resource. Technically, his resource had originally been Kikyou's, but stuff happened.
Inuyasha had moved to Tokyo 2 years ago and after a few minutes had been introduced to Kikyou's friend... Jakotsu. Jakotsu being gay and everything made Inuyasha's life very interesting. The birthday cake had scarred him for life, but Jakotsu was an okay person. He stilled annoyed Inuyasha, but at least he wasn't yelling at Jakotsu every minute anymore. Jakotsu was always a reliable source of information. He always seemed to have what Inuyasha needed to know. There were many people that he could accuse, but the fastest way would be to call Jakotsu. Sure he acted naïve, but that was just a cover. People would know Jakotsu for the intelligent person that he was if it weren't for his drunken attitude, and queer personality. Oddly enough, Inuyasha decided right then that Jakotsu could actually have past as a female if it hadn't been for the lack of breast and other parts...
He dialled the number and before he knew it Jakotsu picked up. "Jakotsu here, how may I pleasure you?"
"Shut up baka!" Inuyasha barked impatiently. "I need some information."
Jakotsu clicked his tongue into the phone. "It's nice to here from you too."
"I don't have time for your shit!" He said angrily as he combed through his hair with his fingers.
"You're the one that wants something from me Inuyasha, now unless you're nice to me I don't think I'll help you out." As Inuyasha got ready to yell at him Jakotsu interrupted. "It's very impolite to yell Inuyasha. I'll help you with what you want as soon as you come over. I haven't seen you adorable face in the longest time!" He squealed.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes in an attempt to remain calm. He needed information from Jakotsu and chances were he wouldn't learn anything unless he did what Jakotsu wanted him to. Inuyasha would have refused if his request had been more on the gay side, but it wasn't so he had no problems with what he asked. It wasn't like he had asked Inuyasha to jump into his bed... "Whatever, but by the time I get there you'd better have what I need."
"Don't worry Inu-baby." Jakotsu said. "I'll have everything you need, as soon as you tell me what you need."
He growled at Jakotsu's nickname for him. "I need to know everyone from Miko's who's ever been to Hiroshima. If you can narrow it down, then anyone who might know Kagome Higurashi."
"Find a new toy to play with Inu?" Jakotsu said slyly. "When you're tired of all those whores, come and join my bed baby."
Inuyasha shuddered thinking of the many scaring things that Jakotsu could do to him if he wasn't careful. He wasn't exactly the most patient person, and although he had stopped stalking Inuyasha it wouldn't be long until he started that up again. Seeing no more reason to talk to Jakotsu, he hung up on him. Stalkers were scary enough, but when they could fight and run their ass off ... If anyone asked him he'd swear that Jakotsu was on steroids.
Inuyasha quickly walked towards the boat at the private harbour and curtly told them to take him back to Tokyo. He needed to do many things in the next week or so and he wouldn't let a minor problem stop him. First he'd find out who ratted him out and then the rest would be easy.
Kikyou walked into Sango's tacky mansion. Already she knew this would be fun. Inuyasha was busy playing his little game unaware of her part in matters. Getting a head start on things, Kikyou had decided to go over to Sango's house and try to figure out exactly how she was going to ruin the little girl. Self-interest came first, and whether Sango knew it or not she had interfered in Kikyou's plan. Get Sesshoumaru to fall in love with her, take all his money and then divorce him. She had fucked up Kikyou's entire plan. It was only fair that Kikyou ruined her life. She was supposedly a good girl in the eyes if the public, but those who had crossed her path in the past knew better. Being nice was too hard and she got nothing out of it. Money made the world go around and no one knew that better then her.
She studied the distasteful house carefully, just for future reference. The maid had told her that Sango was with her kendo instructor, and so she had decided to take some time exploring the house. Sango's room was what Kikyou really wanted to look at, but the maid had insisted on escorting her to the kendo room. The bitch should have minded her own business. Since she had no real important need to see Sango's room yet, she had walked extra slowly and asked for many favours from the maid. Secretly she was hoping the maid would get angry and yell at her. Not because Kikyou enjoyed being humiliated, but then the girl would be fired immediately. Making the first move never mattered to her, it was more important to see who would get the last.
She enjoyed these games that she played with people. They were so easy to win and no one really expected it to be her. Of course there were the few odd people that figured out the truth, but it wasn't like they had any proof. No one ever did... Psychiatrists might try to insist that she felt at least a twinge of sympathy for the girl she was going to ruin, but Kikyou's personality just wasn't like that. The things she did amused her and chances were she wouldn't change. Finally at the door Kikyou dismissed the maid. She had hoped to get the girl fired, but it just wasn't worth the effort. She'd be more then happy to fire her, but she wouldn't gain anything from it. Kikyou turned to the left to watch Sango's lesson through the protective glass.
Originally she had planned on focusing her full attention on Sango, but her instructor was quite the looker. Only slightly paying attention to the fight, Kikyou watched the young man. Yes she was a ruthless bitch, but that didn't mean she couldn't appreciate the opposite sex. His eyes were a lovely shade of amethyst as his shoulder-length hair was tied in a low ponytail. Not a lot of men looked good with long hair, but he was definitely an exception. Maybe I'll play with him a bit when I'm done with Sango. Then again I suppose I have time to play with him now...
She watched the two as the man fixed Sango's stance. His hands slid down her hips as things finally began to get interesting. As the man's hand reached her ass Kikyou was able to see her visibly stiffen. It was surprising that the two hadn't seen her yet. She was standing near the shadows, but usually when someone was watching you, you just knew. Kikyou watched as Sango stiffened and slap the man hard enough to bruise, maybe even kill some brain cells. She winced a little as she heard the vibrating sound. Framing people and ruining them was one thing, but she often had to tread softer with the more violent ones. Kikyou began walking to the gym door, deciding that the kendo lesson was over. It was so easy to manipulate people once you knew their weakness. Manipulating was second nature to Kikyou. In order to get everything done without getting caught she had to be very careful and observant. Sango would be easy no doubt, but Kikyou had learned a few things none the less.
One, Sango's Kendo instructor was hot.
Two, The two were intimate, or at least the trainer wanted to be.
Three, Sango was violent and quite innocent if she turned purple at the mere touch of his hand.
Four, This would be an interesting game.
She had already initially decided that she would ruin Sango, but Kikyou could include Miroku in her plans, it wouldn't make any difference to her. She opened the door to see a red Sango glare down at her instructor.
"How many times have I told you to keep your dirty hands to yourself!" She yelled, trying to decide whether she should pummel him or throw him out the window.
Miroku smiled sheepishly as he scratched his head. "My dear Sango, you're beauty makes me do rash things. I apologize."
"Whatever." Sango muttered as she started putting the weapons away. He always did this to her, always made her heart speed up, always made her feel like she was someone special. He always made her feel like she was someone he cared about, but Sango knew she was just kidding herself. She remembered a few weeks ago when one of the maids in her house had ran up to Miroku hugging him, exclaiming that he had never called her back after their first date. Sango had been enraged at hearing about their date and had refused to see Miroku for days. She had been heartbroken to learn that he had been dating other girls while he had been fondling her rear-end. Jealousy was an ugly thing.
At least she'd have better things to think about once she started school again. She needed to keep her mind off of things that made her sad, it just wasn't healthy. She sighed, being fondled by Miroku wouldn't be such a bad thing if only he kept his attention on only her. Busy with her thoughts, Sango never noticed the dark smile adorning the face of her new adviser. How was Sango to know that she was standing in the way of what Kikyou wanted? How was she to know that she was to suffer for being at the wrong place at the wrong time?
Inuyasha knocked impatiently on the door as he tied up his long hair in a low ponytail. Inuyasha would be ready for his daily pmsing if Jakotsu did have what he needed. "Coming!" He heard a voice yell as he tapped his foot impatiently. He had known Jakotsu for a while, and although Inuyasha didn't appreciate his.... Oddity, Jakotsu was an all right person. Taken he was a little crazy, but Inuyasha had seen worst. Despite what people believed, he had absolutely nothing against homosexuals. He just didn't want their attention directed at him. Having past the point where Jakotsu would try to drug Inuyasha into joining his bed, now Jakotsu only occasionally tried to convince him while giving him the information that he needed. Although the occasional offers were... very disturbing, Inuyasha had strangely enough gotten used to the invitations and had just brushed them to the side as if people asked him everyday. The door opened as a very underdressed Jakotsu let him in.
"Put some clothes on." Inuyasha muttered as he pushed past him. He really didn't need to see a semi-naked Jakotsu, nor did he want to for that matter. Half of the scary things he saw were due to none other then Jakotsu and apparently, he was just able to add another frightening image to his memory.
Thinking on the actual matter at hand, Inuyasha felt like yelling. Very immature, but he had gotten used to getting whatever he wanted and now this happened. Yup, being spoiled had its downside. Everyone he had ever met had always told him that he was too impatient, that he should give things time, but he had thought things over about Kagome. He had thought things over about the whole damn situation and now he was ready to shove a nickel up someone's nose. Preferably someone close, but then again he needed Jakotsu to give him his information. I think Inuyasha jumps to conclusions and exaggerates everything, soo I'm going to make him sound just a teeny-tiny bit crazy.
Deep in thought, Inuyasha never noticed the figure behind him. Jakotsu watched his cute little friend from behind as Inuyasha was occupied with something else. He had done exactly what Inuyasha had asked. Jakotsu had went and put on clothes. Technically you could argue that he was fully dressed, but did a see-through tanktop and semitransparent pants count? No, no they did not, but with Jakotsu you had to be specific. He smiled cattily as he looked at Inuyasha. He was just so cute when he looked like he was actually thinking about something. Jakotsu was debating whether he should tackle Inuyasha onto the bed or not. He was standing right by the bed with his back faced to Jakotsu and it would be too much fun to see Inuyasha's expression. Some debate that turned out to be, which in fact wasn't a real debate since Jakotsu would have tackled him anyway. Hopping towards Inuyasha quietly, Jakotsu prepared himself. He stepped closer and prepared to jump. NOW! He thought as he attached himself to Inuyasha.
With a 'swoosh', Inuyasha found himself lying flat down in a bed that stunk of very cheap, very Jakotsu like perfume. It made sense since he was in Jakotsu's room, but how he had ended up on the bed was still yet to be solved. Quickly deciding that he had let his guard down while in a five-mile radius of Jakotsu, Inuyasha came to the conclusion that the psycho had ambushed him.
"Geroff!" Inuyasha yelled, his voice muffled by the pillow. Not waiting for Jakotsu to follow his orders, Inuyasha shoved him roughly, causing Jakotsu to the land on the floor. He fell on his ass, but gracefully nonetheless. Does that work?
He huffed as he dusted himself off. "You shouldn't be so rude Inuyasha, you are in my home after all."
Inuyasha got up and grabbed the seat by the desk. "I wouldn't have to be so rude if you'd keep your hands off of me. Besides, you started it first." He muttered immaturely. He combed his hair with his fingers as he tied it in a low ponytail. Being one of the only few men who had long hair made him easy to recognise by most people. He also had silver hair, so you didn't need a genius to figure out what that meant. Many complimented him on his lovely hair although he didn't particularly care. The colour of his hair had been a total accident, but if anyone asked then he had done it purposely. A few years ago Inuyasha had walked into a drugstore intent on dying his hair an orangey blonde. Being the person that he was, Inuyasha had just grabbed one of the bottles thinking that they were all alike. At the time he was a rebellious teen who wanted to do everything in his power to shock his father, after he had gone home and dyed his hair he did. Not only did he shock his father, but he shocked himself as well. It didn't go really well with him, expecting a blonder colour and coming out with silver? Who wouldn't be shocked? At the time he had been ready to shave his hair off, but in the end it wasn't necessary since he actually looked good with silver hair. It was weird, but true. "Well, who did it?" he asked, getting straight to the point.
Jakotsu smoothed out his clothes as he crawled back on the bed. "I love it when you fight Inu. Hmmm, but do I really want to help you?" He smiled at Inuyasha's light growl. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to help. I will expect a little something for my services, but I'm sure you'll think of something..." He laid sprawled on the bed watching Inuyasha's pretty face. He could tell him who it was, but what was the fun in that?
"Who the hell was it!" Inuyasha yelled impatiently. He was tired of waiting for the answer to his question, and Jakotsu wasn't making things better. He wasn't in the mood to have to start sucking up and he might have to if Jakotsu decided to make things difficult. Inuyasha cracked his fingers as he glared at him. "You tell me what I want to know and I won't hurt you." He said
Jakotsu pretended thinking over the deal, just for effect. He'd just barely escaped Inuyasha's fist several times, but he wasn't exactly ready for another encounter. "It's a deal I suppose..." Jakotsu said, boredom dripping from his mouth. Inuyasha just wasn't any fun when he was mad. To bad, he hadn't seen Inuyasha for the longest time and now that he got the chance he was too tense for Jakotsu to have any fun. He sighed as he twisted a strand of his own hair around his finger. "I assume that the person would probably be Kouga. He was staying with a friend of Kagome's there. He was staying with a Hojo I believe. Kouga attended her school for a while. I heard that he wanted to get together with her, but she politely turned him down. Kouga is the best guess considering all the other candidates. The others weren't near Kagome and I haven't found anything that indicates that they even know her."
Inuyasha took in the information carefully. So his best bet was Kouga was it? Jakotsu had told him that Kouga had wanted Kagome for himself though. Did that mean he didn't care for that girlfriend Inuyasha had pleasured? He shrugged, deciding not to think too much of it.
Jakotsu walked gracefully over to the vanity mirror as he picked up the comb and began delicately combing through his hair. "Do you need to know why he would've ratted you out, or are you good enough knowing who did it?"
Inuyasha rapped his fingers against the desk, contemplating what he would do to Kouga. "I already know why."
Jakotsu smiled teasingly and shook his head. "Nothing to do with Ayame honey."
He froze and turned around to scrutinize Jakotsu. "Talk."
Jakotsu hummed and began to braid his hair. "At the time he wanted Kagome, he was even willing to break up with his girlfriend of 5 years. She turned him down though. Said something about already having a boyfriend."
"What the hell does this have to do with anything?" Inuyasha asked impatiently. He didn't have any time for Jakotsu to slowly reveal the details to him. "I swear to god, if you don't tell me right now, I will drug you and send you off to---!"
"No need for violence." He said calmly, not caring that he had interrupted Inuyasha. "He kept trying to persuade Kagome to change her mine. You know how stubborn Kouga is, he won't stop until you put things in simple, clear words. Anyway, Kagome finally told him outright that she enjoyed his company, but had no intention of going out with him, she said she didn't think of him that way. He'd never been turned down by anyone he's set his eyes on so imagine his disappointment at her words. That night he got himself drunk and Hojo was there to comfort him, in more then one way." He stopped speaking as he let Inuyasha take in his words. It was interesting how people reacted to good news, and Jakotsu glowed knowing that he had helped his baby.
"Are you insinuating" Inuyasha started off slowly, "that Kouga enjoys his own sex a little more than most do?" This was just too good to be true. He had never expected for Kouga to enjoy his gender so much. Most wouldn't take advantage of a situation like this, but Inuyasha wasn't like most people. Now that he knew this little detail, he would make Kouga's life a living hell. After all, he had gotten in Inuyasha's way.
"I'm saying, that Hojo and I have just recently started talking with one another and he gave me some information that I thought you'd like to know." He smiled coyly at Inuyasha's shocked face. It wasn't often that he heard anything this discriminating about Kouga.
"How's it that Hobo's gay? Isn't he going out with Kagome?" Inuyasha asked curiously, he had been joking about this boyfriend of Kagome's to be gay before, but he hadn't thought that it would actually be true.
"Yes Inuyasha. Now that I've given you the information that you wanted, I suppose you'll want a means to blackmail Kouga?" Jakotsu asked, knowing that his answer would be yes.
Inuyasha smirked and nodded. "One more question. If Hojo's gay, then why's he going out with Kagome?"
Jakotsu shrugged at his question, he didn't care for the girl. "I don't know, he said something about not having the heart to end things with her. How noble, really." He'd seen a picture of the girl sought over by Inuyasha, and truth be told, she didn't look like much. His opinion was biased of course though. The girl looked too much like Kikyou for him to consider her as anything more then pretty. His preference was men, and although he admitted to her being decent looking, he refused to think anything more then that. "Hojo's just too much of a nice guy."
He dismissed Jakotsu's word of Hojo being a nice guy. Inuyasha couldn't care less about the gay boyfriend. There were more important things at the present moment. He couldn't just tell Kagome her boyfriend was gay, not only would she yell and hit him, but then she'd think he was lying. First he needed to blackmail Kouga, and then he'd figure out the rest. He only needed to take things one step at a time to get what he wanted. Now he was back on track and ready for some action.
Jakotsu picked up the phone as he dialled Kouga's number. Inuyasha had asked him to call Kouga over that night for a little fun, and he had readily agreed. Guilt was a feeling he'd never experienced. It was a waste of time to feel remorse for those besides him. The less guilt he felt, the less he had to worry about himself getting hurt. It'd happened before and he wasn't ready to feel it again. Pain just wasn't fun, especially the emotional kind. smart ppl...
"Hello?" Said the voice on the other line.
"Hey Kouga..." Jakotsu answered prettily. "I was hoping we could hook up tonight."
There was a pause on the other line as Jakotsu waited for an answer. "What time?"
"I was thinking 10:00 dearie. You?"
"I'll be there."
Jakotsu admitted that Kouga was a nice person who was 'gifted' in many ways, but Kouga wasn't exactly his type. He welcomed Kouga's company, but helping Inuyasha was more important to him. After all, Inuyasha had helped him a while back when he had needed it. Jakotsu figured he was just returning the favour. He was too fickle to have any real loyalties, it was too hard to decide who he liked better.
Later That Night
Inuyasha picked up his phone as he drove to Jakotsu's house once again. He had left after his talk that morning and was heading back now. He'd get pictures of Kouga in the act, blackmail him, get Kouga to tell Kagome that he had been wrong, and then he'd have the girl exactly where he wanted her. He was still recovering from the shock of finding out about Kouga's little secret and frankly, he wouldn't believe it till he saw it.
He looked at the number on his cell phone and then answered it. "What do you want?" He asked casually.
"Did you get her yet?" Came Kikyou's frigid voice. She didn't beat around the bushes with Inuyasha and she didn't suck up. He'd just think that she wanted something big. Which most likely would have been true had she thought that Inuyasha wouldn't help her.
"Not yet." He said, he didn't need Kikyou to gloat at her victory. Fat chance he'd let her win. Kikyou some how had the ability to gloat without outwardly saying anything insulting.
"I see, not as easy as you would have thought, or are you just getting too old?" She asked innocently enough.
"Minor setback is all." He said through clenched teeth. It was a wonder Kikyou didn't want to be a lawyer. She'd annoy the suspect into telling her the truth.
"Poor Inu, I suppose it was to much to think that you could her. Why don't I just make things easier for you and take the car now?" It was easy to get Inuyasha riled up. All she had to do was question his ability and he'd do exactly what she had wanted him to. Reverse Psychology was easy enough, and Inuyasha was a sucker for challenges.
"My cars not going anywhere. I hope you're ready for the fuck of your life, because as soon as this is all over, I expect you in my bed naked with your legs wide open." As crude as ever... He said with a smirk on his face. He turned left, almost at Jakotsu's house. He wouldn't let Kikyou win, she did need to get kicked of her throne once in a while.
Kikyou laughed on the other line, not taking his threat seriously, she didn't need to. Unlike herself, Inuyasha wasn't cold. He wouldn't be able to toy with her look-a-like and leave without feeling remorse, she knew him too well. "You're going to have to hurry up Inuyasha. I can't wait forever..."
He didn't get a chance to answer her as she hung up on him. He closed his cell phone as he threw it on to the seat beside him. Inuyasha couldn't care less, she'd just given him another reason to win Kagome over after all. Stuck up bitches were annoying. It was times like these that made him wonder why he put up with her. When he had first met Kikyou he had seen her as a nice and innocent girl who didn't know shit about him. Inuyasha had tried to convince her to join his bed like all the others, but what had surprised him was when she had rudely turned down his offer and in retaliation had told him that he would help her in one of her schemes. At the time he had readily agreed, curious to figure out whom Kikyou really was. Needless to say, she turned out to be a power crazy bitch. Of course he was putting that in mild terms.
Finally reaching his house, Inuyasha parked his car a few streets down and made his way to the door with his camera in hand. He and Kouga were never close with one another so Inuyasha didn't feel the slightest bit bad. He was the standard jock whom everyone idolised and that fact alone made Inuyasha twitch. Kouga was a coward who knew when to run away with his tail between his legs. So what if he was athletic? That alone wouldn't get him everywhere in life. In all honesty Inuyasha was still angry about when Kouga had tried to show him up in front of the whole student body. He had 'attempted' to insult Inuyasha and when he had suggested that they took matters outside, he had made up some lame excuse about not wanting to hurt him. Not only did he make Inuyasha sound like a complete bully, but he had continued making himself look good by adding that it was wrong to fight and that he couldn't hurt another person. He appealed to most of the female population while everyone else snickered or applauded him for getting all those phone numbers. Kouga was known to be a bully and lying in front of so many people ticked Inuyasha off. At least he admitted to being a jerk, Kouga on the other hand was still in denial.
Inuyasha walked into the house silently, as he listened to the sickening moans of Jakotsu and Kouga. The two were extremely vocal and were making him increasingly uncomfortable. It would have been erotic if he'd been listening to two women getting it on, but he'd rather not hear men if he had to. It was surprising to see that Jakotsu was actually helping him without putting up a fight. Usually he'd make a big fuss about everything until he got bored. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes suspiciously as he neared the bedroom. What Jakotsu planning something?
He opened the door a bit as he zoomed in with his camera. Inuyasha took many pictures with the two posing in very 'interesting' positions. He himself had been in bed with many women, and he'd never known that you could bend your body the way Kouga and Jakotsu had. He was sure he had enough pictures to ensure that Kouga never got in his way again. Unlike Inuyasha, most people didn't exactly think it was right being gay. Kouga had a reputation to uphold after all. If people found out about his gender preference then no doubt he'd be screwed.
As he finished off the roll of film, Inuyasha strode into the room with a brand new roll, ready for a few more pictures. "Say cheese." He said as he saw Kouga pale. He took several pictures of Kouga as he franticly tried to dive under the blanket. In his haste he forgot the fact that the blanket itself was almost transparent. Inuyasha put his camera down and smirked as Kouga glared at him.
"What the hell are you doing here you dog?" Kouga snarled angrily, forgetting who had the upper hand.
Inuyasha sat down on a chair as he cracked his knuckle again. "I'll be asking the questions around here, so shut your mouth. What are you doing in bed with Jakotsu? And why are you naked?"
Kouga grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, stalling to try and think of a plausible excuse. "I was showing Jakotsu wrestling moves." He said quickly, hoping that he sounded believable.
Inuyasha snorted as Jakotsu pouted. "Are you saying this night meant nothing more to you then that? But baby, I thought you wanted me." He pretended to wipe a tear away from his eye as he continued to file his nails.
"I'm not stupid baka." Inuyasha said as he folded his arms. "I've been watching you two for a while before I came in."
Kouga sat on the bed in shock as he thought of all the things Inuyasha could do to him. If any of the pictures got out, he'd never be able to show his face at school again, let alone play football. He couldn't let it get out, he had to figure out a way to keep word from leaking out. Inuyasha had never specifically targeted him before so Kouga could only assume that he wanted something. Kouga gritted his teeth at the thought of being caught so easily, he'd let his guard down for a second and what happened? He was in deep shit if Inuyasha let this out. He resisted the urge to break something as he sighed in defeat. "What do you want you bastard?"
"Don't' be so rude Kouga, or was I wrong to think that you'd care if these pictures got out?" Kouga could cuss him or do whatever he liked, but he was the one that had the pictures, so either way Kouga would lose. "I'd be nice to me if I were you Kouga. I wouldn't even be setting you up like this in the first place if you hadn't gotten in my way. Now you either clean up the shit you caused, or I drag your ass down to hell and let it rot there."
Considering the options, Kouga didn't actually have a real choice. Inuyasha had caught him and now he could either suck up and do what Inuyasha said or let news get around that he was gay. It was fair to say that Kouga had made his choice. "I'll do whatever you want as long as you give me the film." No way in hell would he do anything Inuyasha said unless he was given the film. How was he to know that Inuyasha wouldn't try something like this again because he was bored? The bastard was just as likely to let him go free as he was to throwing money at hobos on the street. No matter how much Kouga hated Inuyasha, he had to admit that Inuyasha wouldn't be blackmailing him if he didn't want something. Kouga was completely sure that he had done nothing more to Inuyasha in the last few weeks then talk about what a whore he was. He was sure Inuyasha wouldn't take something like that seriously though. He didn't strike Kouga as the type of person who'd want revenge over a little few words. Kouga wasn't completely in the dark despite what people thought. He could be slightly slow sometimes, but he had a good instinct, no matter how stupid he could be sometimes.
Inuyasha looked at the ceiling, hoping that the other two would either put on some clothes or get a blanket that actually covered their bodies. He felt that if he stared at either of the naked men for too long he might regurgitate his food. He disliked Kouga and seeing him in all his glory might make him scream his ass off. "Why the fuck did you tip her off bitch?" Inuyasha asked after deciding that he'd given Kouga enough time to put things together.
Kouga looked up at Inuyasha blankly as he tried to think of whom he was talking about. Had he done anything to one of Inuyasha's toy? He hadn't said anything or done anything to anyone concerning Inuyasha, he had better things to do. Kouga glared up at him as he resisted the urge to stick out his tongue. "I don't know what the fuck you're talking about you bastard."
Inuyasha glared back just as fiercely as he felt the little patience he had begin to leave him "Don't choose now of all times to be stupid jackass. I don't need all this shit. You tell me what I want to know about Kagome and you tell me now."
Kouga looked up as he heard her name. He didn't need to be a genius to know who Inuyasha's new victim was. Why did it have to be Kagome though? She was a sweet girl who had no right to be harassed by Inuyasha. Kouga snorted and stared Inuyasha directly in the eye. "I haven't talked to Kagome since I was in Hiroshima baka. I don't know what the hell you're talking about."
Inuyasha growled loudly as he clenched his hand in a fist for what must have been the 6th time that day. "Don't lie to me!" he snarled angrily. "You told her about me and unless you fix it I'm going to make sure you'll never be able to show your ass at school again.
"That's bullshit! Don't go around accusing me of shit I didn't do. If I wanted to tip Kagome off I'd admit it, but I haven't seen her since last year. Why the hell would I go around telling her crap about you? You do that good enough yourself!" Kouga barked, trying to keep from launching himself at the bastard.
He ignored Kouga's insults as he gripped the chair. "If you didn't fucking tell her then who did?" Before Kouga could answer his question, Inuyasha turned his attention towards Jakotsu and glared angrily. "You bastard! You said it was Kouga, I though you were reliable!!"
Jakotsu whistled innocently as he finished filing his nails. "Honey, I said that it was probably Kouga. I didn't say anything about being absolutely sure." He smiled at the two and then grabbed the blanket, leaving the room so the two could talk. Jakotsu made sure to add a swing to his walk, as he did have both of their attention at the moment. Jakotsu didn't like conflict so he decided that he'd let the two resolve things on their own.
Inuyasha stared at Jakotsu with his mouth opened. The bastard had done this to him on purpose! That was the only explanation, why else would Jakotsu be wrong? He was never wrong. He always double-checked his information and he never told Inuyasha unless he was completely sure... Just proves to show how fickle his loyalties were... Inuyasha turned his attention back to Kouga as he tried to think of another plan. "So you've never spoken to her since then?" he asked suspiciously, just in case he'd missed something before.
"NO!" Kouga yelled as he resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "I don't fucking need to rat you out. She can find out all this shit about you herself." Kouga shrugged and made himself comfortable. "If someone's told her about you then it sure as hell isn't me. I don't' care about anything that has to do with you."
"Who the fuck did it then!" Inuyasha yelled, racking his head for names. He turned to Kouga and decided that he'd be able to use him after all. "You're going to help me get the bastard in exchange for the pictures, got it?"
Kouga nodded in agreement, he wanted the photos back and if all he had to do was find out about some person then he wasn't going to complain. "As long as no one finds out and you don't ever fucking try to blackmail me like that again."
Inuyasha agreed to his terms. He was the one with the upper hand, it wasn't like Kouga had anything to use against him. "I want you to talk to her and get her to tell you who the idiot was. I want you to call her tomorrow and ask to meet up with her. Talk to her and get her to spill." Making sure Kouga understood, he turned away and told Kouga to put on clothes of some kind. "The baka better not screw up." He muttered under his breath, hoping that he was smarter then Inuyasha believed him to be.
"I heard that." Kouga mumbled, as he did as Inuyasha said and put on his clothes. As long as he never had to talk to him about his gender preference again, Kouga could care less about what he had to do. Obviously enough there was a line he wouldn't cross, but it didn't sound like such a big deal to just get a little information. He wouldn't be able to help Kagome if he couldn't help himself first. Besides, no matter how much he liked Kagome, he'd rather his secret remain secret then keeping her safe from Inuyasha. He didn't deal well with embarrassment... Kouga took all his stuff and got ready to leave. "I'll only do this if you promise me that you won't put any pictures of her on the Internet and you won't spread rumours about her around the school." Kouga was spineless, but not completely. He had the decency enough to help Kagome that much.
He looked at Kouga sceptically as he took the film out of his camera. "No pictures and I won't say anything about her at school." Sure he enjoyed a little gloating, but he didn't need to. He'd be perfectly happy knowing that he had won her. "I won't be giving you the film until you find the info for me, so don't bother asking."
Without another word to each other, they both left Jakotsu's house. Both were feeling pretty pissed at him, so neither bothered to say good-bye.
"Hello!" Jakotsu yelled as he came out of the washroom with a bathrobe on. He pouted at the open door as he crossed his arms. "The nerve. Leaving without even a good-bye? Hmph!" He ignored the fact that he was the one who planned the meeting and was the one who caused all the noise in the first place, little details like that weren't important. Jakotsu shrugged as he closed the door. He'd had his little fun scarring Inuyasha and now he only hoped that tonight he'd dream of something other then that banana peel. He shuddered at the thought of the many nightmares revolving around it. Jakotsu tried to ignore the thought as he closed the door to his bedroom. He was sleeping earlier then usually today, but he definitely had had more fun. Jakotsu happily fell asleep dreaming of a flying Inuyasha who admitted to loving him and only him. Then again he was dreaming of a flying Inuyasha in a banana peel, but his dreams were slowly becoming more normal...
A/n: Damn that was the longest chappie I've every written! I be lovin' all your lovely reviews and would just like to mention that I didn't delt 'over seas'. The ppl delt it and sniff sniff... I'm all emotional... teheehe I've actually gotten over it, but anyway, I'd just like to remind ppl again that if you don't like this then don't read it. I don't like ppl bitching at me saying how crappy my writing is. I'm writing this because some personalities in this fic apply to ppl I no, and they've done incredibly mean things to me and my friends, so I had perfect characters to vent some anger. On a lighter note, please leave a review showering me with compliments, and please remind me to update sooner... I lacked some highly needed motivation. Reminder, it took to long to get this out so I didn't check it and stuff proly won't flow and sentences are proly wrong..... so srri!
