Kimera: I want Inuyasha!
Me: No. It's my story and i don't even have to include you, but i am.
Me: My little clan will note the fact that i am placing them in covert little spots, which means that they have to continue reading the story. You will also notice that i am placing characters from my other stories, which may play a big part in a fic that i am still working out in my head.
Nora: Hey! i didn't ask to be in the stupid story.
Me: So? You're my friend, which means i can do anything i want. Durgh.
Disclaimer: Inuyasha isn't ours...yet.
-----------------
Kagome grimaced at the glaring lights, tilting the cup to her lips. It wasn't sake, it was strawberry cordial, one of her favorites.
She was at Night's Den on Main Street, sitting at the farthest table form the large picture windows in the darkest corner of the restaurant.
Sango had dropped her off here on request, instead of her apartment. She didn't feel like going back there at the moment. It was a little dreary there, and she needed some light.
She was much more a night person, but when it came to being injured and weak, the sunlight was the place to be. Especially when she knew what kind of creatures lurked in the shadows.
She used to hunt said creatures, but she had given that up when she had found a friend in one of them. Of course that friend had been killed by one of his own kind, but that was inevitable.
Then she created Blood Rave. Her pride and joy, her brainchild. Each individual card carried the recipient's blood mark, which only her specialized guards can see. Each of her customers were either hand picked by herself or her main proprieters. Mostly vampires and shadow demons instead of humans. And the humans that dared come in were under her personal protection.
Blood Rave was a neutral place, where race didn't matter, only that you had a blood card.
She stood and walked out into the daylight, relishing in the warmth as so many of her freinds and allies slept.
-----------------
"Inuyasha!" Rin squealed as she rushed into his arms.
Inuyasha caught her and tossed her up. His family traits apparent to the fullest in the youngest of the clan.
His family was a family of dog-demons and half dog demons. His father had married a human and a dog demon.
"What is it rin?" He asked her, playing with the little one's furry black ears.
"Daddy wants you in his study right now." She delivered her message and squirmed to be let down.
Inuyasha sat her down on the table and wandered off toward the great hall.
Sesshomaru was sitting at his desk when Inuyasha came in. He shook his head at Inuyasha's lack of politeness.
"What?" Inuyasha said, plopping down.
"You have been moping around here for two days, not even leaving the house. You are going out tonight." Sesshomaru said, plainly.
"I do not MOPE!" inuyasha argued.
"Fine, you were pouting then. But you are still going." He told him.
"Who died and made you the king of england?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Father." Sesshomaru said, quietly, enforcing the laws decreed by their father before he died of heart failure.
"Where am i going to?" Inuyasha asked, sighing.
Sesshomaru tossed a small box at him. "It's called Blood Rave. A friend of my wife owns it."
Inuyasha took out the blank card and watched in awe as it turned red and he felt himself being drained slightly before he went back to normal. "What the hell is this?" He demanded.
"It's called a blood card. A hunter developed it in the late twentieth century to catch shapeshifters. It copies your aura signature and prints an aura tatoo on it's holder's forehead. Only certain types of demons and hunters can see it. And the card prevents theft." He explaned. "one of the guards will accompany you to Blood rave as your date."
After Inuyasha had left, a small shadow came across the floor and stood up.
"Shall i follow him, m'Lord?" The little shadow asked in a squacky voice.
"No, that won't be nessecary, jaken. Go find rin and tell her to meet me i her room, it's nap time." He rose and stepped out into the hallway to make his way upstairs
----
Kao was talking to Inuyasha when Kimera walked by.
"Kao." Kimera called to the young woman.
"Yes Capitan?" The shorter girl asked, saluting.
"What are you and Inuyasha talking about?" She asked, staring over the girl's shoulder.
"He is being made to take one of the castle guard with him to Blood Rave tonight and he wishes to know who is available." She said, on order.
"Take the night off, Kao, I'll accompany him." Kimera said, walking past her.
"Thank you Capitan Diablos." Kao exclaimed, rushing off to find her boyfriend Inyo Tsako.
"Hello, Kimera." Inuyasha said coolly. he watched her carefully.
"I will accompany you to Blood rave, if you wish." She said, nodding vigorously.
"Uh, sure." Inuyasha said, shrugging, He had three hours to get ready, and he needed to run.
-------
After announcing the beginning of the festivities, kagome stepped down from the stage and made her way to the bar.
Jeremiah was the bar keep tonight, and the dancers were in their cages.
He sat a cup of strawberry wine before her before he went back to wiping down the glasses. It was slow tonight, only about a hundred and fifty people filled the club, she would have to send a few scouts to delete the road blocks naraku had undoubtedly set up.
Suddenly she sensed a new presence beside her and she looked over to find a white haired hanyou sitting beside her, his golden eyes shining brightly in the dark area of the bar.
"I'm Kaoru kamiya, Who the hell are you?" she asked, straitforward, thanks to the wine.
"Inuyasha Triyoukai. Come here often?" He asked, the classic pickup line buzzing around in her head.
"I own this place. Like it?" She asked, swaying slightly in her seat.
"Yeah. Wanna dance?" He asked her, Kimera looming behind him.
"Nah, I don't like this band. I prefer Evanesence myself." she said, her words slightly slurred.
Suddenly a large explosion at the door drew their attention.
"What the..?!" inuyasha exclaimed.
"You wanna fight?" kagome stood, picking her sword up from the rack on the table.
Kagome Higurashi, Come out and Die." Came a creepy voice that they all recognized. This time, though, instead of a club full of humans, it was a club full of demons and vampires.
Kagome grinned evilly. "Come on in, the party's just getting warmed up Piss Ant!" she yelled through the dusty opening.
Fifty men marched in and surrounded the five at the bar. Sango and Miroku had been making out behind the counter when they were interrupted, and both of the disgruntled participants looked ready to kill.
A tall tangely black haired man stepped into the circle.
"Kagome Higurashi, I wish to buy your 'Blood Rave' and you will sell it to me." He told her, trying to get into her mind.
She let him think he had succeded before she shocked him with a burst of drunken energy. "I got two words for your sorry ass. Hell. No."
"So, i guess I will have to kill you, then." he said, stepping back into the group.
They attacked once he was out of the way. Thinking they had the five in the middle out numbered.
They thought wrong.
Kagome started punching and kicking wildly, Sango having taken away her sword, and began knocking the goons out easily.
"I've got it! Start the real music." Kagome yelled, jumping up onto the bar, kicking the goons in the face while she was at it.
The music came on and cranked up, Creed- Human clay.
By the time the song ended, the battle was done. Kagome sat on the edge of the bar while Kimera cut down the last of the offenders that would dare touch Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku had disappeared, probably resuming their make-out session elsewhere.
The demons consumed the bodies and her personal alchemist fixed the wall.
"Arigato, Sumi-san." she thanked the tall, short haired man.
"No problem, Miss Higurashi." He told her, grinning.
He sat down at the bar as Jeremiah came around to serve him.
"That was a nice workout." Kagome told the taller, blue haired woman.
"Yeah." Kimera agreed.
Kagome started to say something when she fell forward, Inuyasha immediately raced to catch her, but Kimera caught her first. She had repaid her debt.
The girl had saved Inuyasha and she had saved her. The debt was repaid.
Kimera took the woman over to Inuyasha, who took her quickly.
"What happened?" He asked the guard.
"She took quite a few hits, and she has probably opened the injuries from before, i could see the bandages through her shirt." Kimera said, shrugging.
"I will take her to the castle, She'll be safe there." He said, walking out before she could protest.
"Ignorant fool." Kimera grumbled, growling inwardly at the human that had inadvertantly taken Inuyasha from her.
----------
Kikyou followed Inuyasha away from Blood Rave, waited a few blocks, then attacked the stupid wench that had dared want HER Inuyasha.
She got just behind her when she disappeared.
"Hm?" Kikyou asked as she turned around searching for the woman.
Suddenly she felt pain rip through her body as a sword plunged through her chest.
"You're mine." Kimera hissed in her ear before she withdrew the sword and sheathed it.
Kikyou fell to the ground, a puddle of blood growing around her.
Kimera grinned wickedly and ran to catch up to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha watched the girl in his arms closely, he had sensed pain, and had smelled blood, but he didn't know to what extent.
She was a hunter. He could tell by how she moved, even though she was drunk.
She had blindly struck down a man that had attacked him from behind, catching a bullet in her arm.
He had stared dumbly at her afterwards when she sat, swaying with the music as her proprieters devouered the dead.
he had watched in pure fsination as the raven haired woman talked with the blue haired head of security.
he just hoped Sesshomaru wouldn't mind another guest at the castle.
-------
Kagome woke in a white room with black curtains and a black silk comforter on the four poster bed.
She tried to sit up and failed, pain shooting through her back and stomach at the slightest movement. It hurt to even breathe.
"Welcome back among the living, Mrs. Higurashi." Came a voice somewhere from her left.
"It's Miss. Where am i?" She asked, her voice laced with pain and hoarse with lack of use.
"You are in the Triyoukai house. You were brought here by Mr. Triyoukai the other night. I must go and tell Mr. Triyoukai."
Kagome lay there and pondered the voice, it was of a young girl, no more than fifteen. She tried again to sit up but her body felt like a lead weight.
"Lay still. you have yet to heal." Came a harsh, cracked old voice. It's owner was bending over her, her wrinkled face and thin lips showed hard times.
"Who?" Kagome tried, but began coughing.
"I am Lady Kaede, A doctor of the old ways. It is as i thought, your left lung has been injured. At the rate you are healing, it will be three days until you will be able to breathe properly. Your other wounds are another matter. It seems they used a kind of blade that your skin is allergic to. Looks like Silver ore."
Kagome tried to take this all in but her mind was fogged and she could only peice together peices of what the old woman was saying.
"Why am i here?" She asked, trying again to sit up, and found herself rising.
She looked around and found that the woman had lifted her up so she could pile pillows behind her.
Then the old woman was gone.
A short, brown haired woman came in and looked at her warmly.
"My name is Sako. Sako Hiruta. You must be the infamous Miss Higurashi. I thought that that dress would fit you, and i was right!. Mrs. Triyoukai's clothes fit just perfectly on you." Kagome caught the girl's name and the fact that the man that had brought her here had a wife.
The girl scuttled out of the room before she could get in a word edgewize and another person came in.
He was tall, filling the doorway with his pure height. He looked angelic, his long, white hair trailed down his back loosely, a wreath of small pink flowers was in his hair.
"Miss Higurashi, You knew my wife. Tai Triyoukai. My name is Sesshomaru, and it was my brother that decided to bring you here. Whe i found out your condition, i decided that you would not leave until you are well." he rushed, before he had to catch a running five year old before she could jump onto Kagome.
"Hi, Miss Higurashi. Rin is happy to meet you. Will you play with Rin?" The little black haired girl asked, confusing her.
"um. Sure, Rin." Kagome said, holding out her arms to take the girl onto the bed, ignoring the sharp pains that shot through her body.
"Rin, Miss Higurashi will play with you later, when she is better. Please, go outside and play with your cat, i will take you to the park later if you behave.' He told the hyper five year old and she nodded and bounced out into the hallway.
"I will send for my brother." Sesshomaru said, leaving her alone.
-----
Sango searched for the black haired hunter as the people left the Blood rage in pairs and groups. She was not among them.
She hadn't closed the night out like usual either. Somehting must have happened to her when they were fighting naraku's goons.
She pulled the video of the fight and caught sight of Kagome taking a wound for the White haired hanyou that she had never seen before.
Then she saw him carrying her out into the street.
She was more than mad, She was PISSED.
Miroku inched away from her as her aura flared and her eyes darkened.
He pittied the hanyou when Sango got ahold of him. He really did.
