Chapter 7: The Chase
Sango pulled up into the parking lot of her building to park.
'Uh, I feel so tired, I'm just glad to make it home so I can sleep,' she thought to herself as she put the alarm on her car and was walking to her apartment.
A block away was Miroku parking his car, not wanting to be obvious, so he got up and walked to where she was.
'Hmm, I could see her from here, good. This will be easy, plus, I got a black belt in karate,' he snickered to himself as he got ready to get his culprit.
Sango was opening the gate to the apartment building when she saw Miroku walking pretty fast in her direction.
'Hey, it's Miroku. I didn't give him my address, Kagome probably gave it to him or something,' she thought as she waved at him.
"Hi, Miroku!" She called out to him, but he didn't answer her.
'I said hi, he must have heard. There's no way he couldn't have," but the look on his face sure didn't look like one of greeting, and he started to run towards her.
'This doesn't feel right-" but before she could finish that thought, she was up and running from him, into the apartment building staircase.
"Why are you chasing me!" She cried out to him running as fast as she could.
"Like I said, 'No need to get feisty babe, you took something from me and I need it back,' he smiled when he said it.
'Wait a minute, that was the same thing that stalker guy was telling me. Don't tell me that's him!' she thought to herself.
"You're the guy who was after me the other day!" She called out to him trying to keep from him.
"No shit, babe, now I need those papers back,' Now he was really running after her.
She grabbed the rail to keep a hold of herself and swung herself onto the second floor. Unfortunately, he knew that move too, so he was right behind her. She then jumped through the window next to the elevator, breaking the glass, and leaving Miroku behind.
'Oh, she's not gonna get away that easy.' He thought as he jumped through the window hot on her trail. Since she lived right next to the hospital, there was a little bridge on top to shade the sidewalk. They both ran across the street and she ran under the bridge. But he had a plan, so he jumped on top of it and was running across it so he could jump in front of her. When she was running, she could hear his footsteps on top and he was right where she was running. When she reached the end of the bridge, she jumped back and he fell on hot cement. She knew what he was planning on doing.
She jumped back in front of him and started to run once again. He recovered quickly, so before she turned the corner, he was back up and running, remembering his mission. When they both turned the corner, they were running through another pair of apartment buildings, but they whizzed by it and were soon running on Sunset (it's the street that leads to Hollywood). They ran past a couple of blocks before hitting a costume store. Sango looked at it with tiresome eyes and ran inside pushing some people along the way. She pushed the manikin at the window aside, put a big, feather scarf on, a pair of sunglasses tossed on the side, and a hat that was on the manikin and struck a pose.
'Who am I kidding? Of course someone is gonna notice this! Oh, I just need a rest, then I could move on to whatever he wants from me.
Miroku had seen her go into the big store, but he didn't see where she had gone. He looked around and saw a manikin that was dropped on the floor. He looked around, but noticed something very familiar standing on the window display. A 'manikin' was wearing almost the same clothes as Sango was, just with three different items. So, he tried something he knew would work, he reached out and grabbed the butt to see if it was real. Sango shrieked when she felt his hand on her bum, so she socked him, jumped off the display window, took off the stuff she had put on, and went racing out of the store. She didn't sock him too hard, so he was able to just look onto where she was going and go back to get her.
She crossed the street again, so this time she was on Hollywood and Highland (two other streets that are in Hollywood). Miroku was running when he remembered the mini bombs that Kaede has stuck in his pocket before leaving. So he reached into his pocket and took one out. Now Sango was heading into the Kodak Center, where many tourists were, but Miroku couldn't care less, it was a mission. Sango had stumbled upon some stands that were selling jewelry, and was about to run to the staircase there, but before she could Miroku threw one of the mini bombs to her direction, but luckily missed. Just because they were mini, didn't mean the explosion was so mini.
When it hit the wall next to a Marc Jacobs store, it exploded. She had flipped in the air, as a reflex, before the bomb could hit the wall, and it exploded as she was in the air. When she landed back on her feet, she had a smoke stain on her cheek, and people were screaming due to the fact that they had thought it was a terrorist attack or something. She went up the staircase with Miroku behind her of course, and they ran past stores with many people and employees looking at them run. Sango really wanted to lose him now, so she pushed herself onto the escalator running down as fast as she could, apologizing as she went down. He went down right after her, and they went down three escalators before she got off one of them and ran towards the parking lot.
Miroku was very happy when she did this because he knew just how to break into a car. He broke the window to a Nissan and got it started, while she was already in a silver, Volkswagon bug speeding away. When they got out of the parking lot, he followed her along Highland and followed her all the way down Franklin (yes, ANOTHER street in L.A. or Hollywood whichever you prefer) and into Griffith Park. They went along a trail that lead to the observatory, and when they got there, and came out of their cars, it was a showdown.
She looked at him with fierce eyes, wanting to know why the hell he played her like that, and he looked at her with warm, yet angry eyes since he needed to get a job finished, but having feelings for her at the same time.
'He's gonna fight me, that's fine. I have a black belt in karate anyway,' She thought as she took a step towards him. He took a step back, and got his arms in fighting position, but so did she. She was the first one to strike and she aimed for his arm, but he grabbed it and threw it back down. Then she did a high kick, but he crouched down, and hit her in the stomach. She stood for a moment trying to draw the air back in to her lungs, and she crouched down and kicked his feet so that he could fall, but he caught his balance on his hands and back-flipped up.
Then he went behind her fast, and grabbed her popnytail off, but before her could get his hand out of her hair, she grabbed his hand and the ponytail, and it was tug of war (or whatever you call it) after that. Then he grabbed her arms and flipped her on the side so she spun in the air. Fortunately, she was still holding on to the ponytail, so his arms spun around and he was forced into the air as well. They both landed on their feet, and had let go of the ponytail. She made for a high-kick in the air again, but this time it made him jump to her, and they were at the edge of the observatory wall, which was at the top of the Hollywood sign, at the top of a mountain!
'DAMMIT, how did I end up here in the first place, oh, right, the files!" She thought trying to look for the easiest way out of there.
She then noticed that they were on top of the mountain where the observatory was. Now, she had an idea. Then she entwined both of her arms around his, stuck her knee up his groin, and they both flipped over the wall falling down the mountain.
"NO! I wasn't supposed to be flipped over too!" But they both were falling who knows where.
As they were falling, they spotted a tree that they were about to land on. They both landed in a tree, hard, and some school girls had screamed when they saw them falling into the tree. It took her a minute to wake up and realize she was surrounded by a crowd of high school girls.
'Why are we surrounded by girls-" but then Sango looked around and noticed they had landed in a girls' school.
"Are you ok?" One of the girls had asked trying to help her out of the tree. Then more girls wanted to help her out of the tree. Then she slipped out of the tree landing on her bottom. But from the corner of her eye, she saw Miroku wide awake and girls cooing over him, 'seeing if he was ok.' Then Sango nodded her head in a 'no' response and got up ready to run again.
"Thank you ladies very much," he said winking at them and the girls giggling as he did.
"Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to work," But before he could run again, Sango was making her way climbing off the gate of the school. Then he went running after her again, crossing the street off of Franklin. Damn, these people never get tired. Then she ran into a plaza that had a dead end corner. She had nowhere else to run, and she was pretty sure that she broke her wrist falling into the tree. Then Miroku saw she had nowhere to go, so he put his arms on both ends of the wall so he had her cornered.
"Now, I need those files, what did you do to them?" He asked her harshly.
"They're being terminated as we speak, greedy bastard," She said as she attempted to shake him off, but his grip on keeping her cornered was pretty hard.
"Now, sweetie, I like you a lot, but when it comes to business, I have no excuses to hold back." He said with a smile.
"You jerk!!! Don't you know that three companies in Los Angeles will go bankrupt if you turn in those files, it's not just all of them getting lower pay!" She yelled at him with a very angry look.
"What! When did this happen?" Miroku asked her in surprise.
"When your boss made a deal with the top executive of the city, and he was able to get through to the government on the deal, which he offered a pretty penny for." She said wanting to get to the doctor now.
"How much did he offer?" He asked wanting to know now why Kaede hadn't told him about it.
"Look, I don't know how much he offered-" Then her cell phone started to buzz and she looked at him when it did.
"Well? You're not going to get it?" He asked her. She looked at him suspiciously, and answered it. When she hung up, she merely looked at him with a smile forming on her face.
"So, what happened?" He asked her, but knowing already all too well what had happened.
"The files were terminated, and my boss confirmed it with the government." She said almost fainting from the whole day. When he caught her, he grabbed her wrist and she wailed in pain.
"I'm sorry! You must have gotten hurt from the fall, come on, we need to get you to a doctor," He took her by the arm, but she took her arm out of his.
"Don't worry, I could go myself," but when she tried to walk, she fell on her knees, not to mention her broken wrist, and wailed even louder in pain. Miroku rushed to her and picked her up whether or not she liked it.
"What are you-"Sango was about to ask but he interrupted her.
"I'm taking you to the hospital, whether or not you like it," He said taking her to the Metro station to the hospital. When they got on the Metro (it's kinda like a subway in L.A.), he had an angry look on his face.
"Miroku, are you mad at me?" Sango asked even though she knew she should be the one being mad at him.
"No, I need to have a word with my boss when I get back to work." He said as they were arriving at the hospital.
So, how d'ya like it? Was it ok? It was a little corny, right? Now I know this was at least a little long. I hope you guys liked it. There's one more chapter to the story, unless I don't make the plot thicker, accidentally. I am trying to come up with a title for my new story that is in process of being made. And there isn't enough of thanking my reviewers!!!
