Chapter Five- Third Degree
"Kagome Higurashi."
Yusuke could hear her name over and over in his head, as though someone had turned on an echo button. He remembered how she hadn't even wanted to give him her name, only having been tricked into it when he got her to sign the napkin. Was this why she hadn't wanted to give out her name? Because she had a secret to hide?
Sure, he finally meets an interesting girl and she's a demon's love slave. Kagome had seemed innocent and normal, but she proved him wrong, didn't she? Still, they could be wrong… but pictures didn't lie and that had been her on that screen.
He should have realized it earlier, really. The guy who had been with her at the pizza parlor, it was the same guy who Kurama had fought, now that he thought about it. He knew he had recognized him from somewhere, but had been too focused on the hanyou at the time to notice.
"Yusuke?" No response. "Yusuke!"
His head snapped up when he heard Botan calling him. "What?" he asked, annoyed.
"Nothing really, you've just been really quiet since we left Koenma's office," she told him.
Yusuke looked around him to see they were back in the city. His face looked bewildered. "When did we leave Spirit World?"
Botan sighed dramatically while falling back to lean against the side of a building. "There's no hope for the human race with him protecting them," she said to herself.
Kuwabara peered at Yusuke closely, which irritated him. "What's wrong with him?"
"It's what normal people call being 'deep in thought'," Kurama said dryly, but still he watched Yusuke carefully. He remembered the girl in the park and knew she was the same person, that she was Kagome. Though he thought it went deeper since Yusuke seemed to know her before even that.
"You should try it sometime," Hiei told Kuwabara, referring to what Kurama had said, "it'd probably cause your head to explode. Then we could all rejoice."
Botan looked his way. "You rejoicing is a creepy thought."
"What're you even still doing here? Go chase and kill some squirrels or whatever you do in your spare time," Kuwabara said to the short demon.
"Hn." He glared at Kuwabara, seemed about to say something more, then thought better of it and was gone in an instant.
Kurama watched him depart before looking to Kuwabara. "That wasn't very smart, we could have used his help. With his speed he'd be able to find the girl quicker than us."Botan leaned forward, peering at Yusuke closely, her face only inches from his. "He's spaced out again. I'm worried about him."
Yusuke's eyes suddenly became focused again and he found he was staring into Botan's eyes from only inches away. "Ah!" he said, stumbling back, his hand over his heart. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack!"
"Alright, he's with us again," Botan said, then turned to Kurama, "tell them the plan."
Kurama nodded and withdrew four long thorns from his pocket, all as long as his index finger. He handed one to each of them and kept one for himself. "If you find the girl, prick her with this. It'll draw a little bit of blood, but if it does, it means that it worked. It'll knock her unconscious for awhile." He told them where Koenma said to bring her if they got a hold of her and quick directions to the place. "We'll meet at that spot in two hours and hopefully someone will have found her. From there we'll question her."
Though they didn't like the thought of kidnapping (they were the good guys. Weren't the bad guys suppose to be the kidnappers?), they nodded their comprehension, while Yusuke and Kuwabara observed the thorn in their hands. Kuwabara brought a finger up to touch the end until Yusuke caught his hand. "Are you trying to be an idiot?" Yusuke questioned incredulously. "That thing will knock you out cold." Kuwabara opened his mouth to say something, but Yusuke interrupted. "Come on." He dragged him until they reached the intersection. "You go that way, and try not to do anything stupid." Yeah, right, remember who you're talking to Yusuke, he thought to himself.
Kurama watched them walk away and smiled slightly, shaking his head.
Kagome searched her pockets for money, taking out a handful of stuff out as she searched. "Lint, don't need that," she murmured and threw it on the ground as she crossed the street, "Shippo's toy, forgot to give that back," she put it back in her pocket, "crumpled up post-it… gum… and yes! Money."
Good, she needed to go to the store and pick up some more bandages and other supplies. Unfortunately, they tended to get beaten up a lot, fighting demons and whatnot constantly.
She looked up to watch where she was going, remembering what happened the other day. She smiled despite herself, remembering how the boy Yusuke had stopped her from walking into a busy street. Funny how he kept popping up wherever she was and they kept meeting.
Kagome pocketed her money as she walked on the sidewalk until she reached an alleyway that she turned into. It was a shortcut to the store she was headed to. Not that she was in any hurry, but it was cold outside and she had a sudden urge for hot chocolate when she got home. Just thinking about it made her the smallest bit warmer.
"Excuse me," she heard from behind her.
She stopped and slowly turned around to see a man behind her. He had long red hair and emerald eyes, well muscled from what she could see. He was definitely a piece of eye candy and moving closer to her until he was only a foot away.
"Yes?" she asked, her curiosity keeping her in place though she was a bit nervous. You'd be nervous too if a guy approached you in a dark alley, even if he was polite and handsome.
"Are you Kagome?" he asked her.
She nodded. "Yes, I am."
He moved even closer and she couldn't help it when she took an instinctive step backward. He could either view it as an offense or believe she was frightened on him, but either way she didn't care. Her body was screaming at her to walk, or better yet, run away now.
Kagome remained in place.
"Then I'm sorry about this," he said and indeed there was regret in his voice.
"About wh—" but she didn't finish her sentence before he suddenly took hold of her arm with one hand and pricked her with something he had in the other. With what, she didn't know, she only knew that a small spot on her arm began to bleed.
She yanked her arm back. "What was that for?" she asked angrily. Kagome took a few steps back before she began stumbling, her head spinning. Her arms were stretched out, desperate to find something to hold onto to stop her stumbling. Her vision came in and out of focus as she began to fall.
The stranger caught her before she fell completely, lifting her up into his arms as she fell into unconsciousness.
It was cold, very cold where she was. And dank too. She shivered and drew herself in tighter, bringing her bent knees closer to her chest. Something was put over her, covering her, warming her… a blanket. Kagome opened her eyes slowly, to see someone hovering over her. Even in the near dark, she recognized him.
"Yusuke?" she asked slowly, her voice sluggish. Her mind was fuzzy.
"So you finally woke up," he said to her.
She closed her eyes and pulled the blanket closer to her, wanting to go back to sleep. Had she been sleeping before? The last thing she remembered…
It suddenly came back to her and she sat up so abruptly that her head ran into Yusuke's as she did, who had still been hovering over her, watching her.
"Ow!" he said, his hands covering his nose where she had rammed into him. "I think you broke my nose!"
She stood up quickly with the blanket still wrapped around her before looking at him, a bit concerned. She then informed him, "if I broke your nose, it'd be bleeding.""Have you broken a lot of noses in your day?" he asked dryly as he too stood up.
She, however, ignored his question, asking some of her own. "Where did he take me? Why? And what are you doinghere?" Her head was swimming with questions and she still felt lightheaded.
"Aren't we suppose to be asking the questions?" Hiei asked from the side of the room.
Everyone turned to look at the fire demon, which included the redheaded male that had knocked her out and another tall man she didn't know. She hadn't noticed anyone else in the room. Apparently, the tall one was bewildered as well.
"When did shorty get here?" Kuwabara asked, genuinely confused by the fire demon's presence.
"A few minutes ago," Kurama answered, knowing that Hiei would probably just ignore him.
Kagome watched them all warily before looking around the room. The room was bare with no furniture or any other items in it, the only way out being the door. There was a window, but it was boarded up. No help there. Somehow with the four guys in the room, she knew she wouldn't be getting out the door unless they wanted her to leave. And if she thought they would let her leave after just capturing her, she was deluding herself.
"Why did you kidnap me? Who are you people?" she asked before realization hit her. "You… you're the guys that Inuyasha and the others fought last night."
"Perceptive, isn't she?" Kurama murmured.
"What do you want with me?" Kagome asked.
"And she still continues to ask us questions," Hiei scoffed.
She turned to him, chin held up defiantly. "And what of it?" She peered at him closer, thinking, he must be the demon Sango fought. No one seemed to know exactly what to say or do, they didn't expect her to be so bold. "You better let me go or else Inuyasha will come and get me. And that'll be a destructive, if you try to keep me here," she informed them.
"And why would he come for you?" Yusuke asked her curiously. Was Kurama's theory right? Was she addicted to the demon?
"He's—" Kagome began then stopped. Normally, she'd just make up a lie, saying Inuyasha was her boyfriend or lover or something like that, the lie that she had been telling demons that captured her since she was fifteen, so that they wouldn't kill her on the spot. Somehow she didn't want to tell that lie to Yusuke, so she spoke the truth. "He's my friend, he'll find me."
"We handled him easily before, it wouldn't be so hard to kill him. Unless he decides to run away like a coward again," Yusuke told her.
Now that commented ticked her off. "Inuyasha is not a coward, he came because I yelled for him," she said defensively, "and you have no idea what he's capable of!""What is he capable of?" Kurama asked softly.
If that soothing tone of his was suppose to calm her and get her to answer, it wasn't working. Kagome crossed her arms. "Oh, no, I'm not going to tell you so that you can use it against him."
"Fine, stay loyal to your 'master'," Kuwabara muttered sullenly.
Oh, now she was angry. "Master? I do not have a master."
"Then why do you protect him?" the redhead inquired.
"Because he's my friend," Kagome responded, "are you people even listening to anything I'm saying!" She was entirely serious when she said it too. Hadn't she already gone through the friend thing? They didn't want to believe anything she said… then what was the point of questioning her?
"This is useless. She's obviously not going to tell us anything useful," Hiei commented.
"How about this question, why did he kill those humans?" Yusuke asked Kagome, his eyes piercing and his face serious. So much different then the flirtatious, funny Yusuke she had met on the street… and at his work… and in the park…
She shook her head furiously. "Inuyasha's not the bad guy! He didn't kill anyone!" She had another insight. "Is that why we keep meeting 'incidentally'? Have you been following me because you want to get at Inuyasha?" And the thought hurt. The only reason he had been kind was because he probably wanted to see if she let anything slip, see if she said anything about demons.
"What? No!" he responded quickly. He felt a twinge of regret when he saw her pained expression and he hadn't even done anything wrong! Well, unless you count kidnapping her, but technically that was Kurama.
Kagome wasn't sure if she should believe him. She hardly knew him in the first place… but she wanted to believe him. However, she didn't respond, only leaned against the wall, then slid down it until she was sitting on the floor.
"Look, we saw the human blood on him. Why did he kill those people? What are you after?" Yusuke asked, trying to make his voice kinder. He didn't want her to hate him. He'd enjoyed the time they spent together, even if she was a demon-obsessed human and he was her captor now. He'd had fun, the most fun he'd had since… she had left town.Kagome, however, only looked away, deciding not to talk anymore. She'd probably said too much already. Inuyasha… find me, she thought desperately. Even after three years, she still depended on him because sometimes, she just wasn't strong enough. The love she had for him once was now a quieter love of friendship, nothing more, but still he came when she needed him. Right now, she needed him to get her out of wherever they had taken her.
…but what if that was there plan? To lure him here? Then she needed him to stay far away… and she'd have to figure out how to get out on her own.
"We're not going to get any information from her, but we could use her disappearance to our advantage, to draw them out for another fight," Kurama said, "by now they must be wondering about her whereabouts." He glanced at Kagome. He was sincerely sorry about having to kidnap her, but what was done, was done. "I think we're finished here."
Kuwabara nodded his agreement and walked from the room, followed a few moments later by Kurama and Hiei. Yusuke went too, but stopped in the doorway, looking back to her. She looked up at him, not able to help her curiosity, but he wouldn't meet her eyes.
He didn't speak right away, so she did, quietly saying, "so you're just going to leave me in here alone?" Her voice sounded unsure, but she already knew the answer.
"We'll come back and let you out later," he told her.
"After you kill Inuyasha," she finished for him, passion in her voice and in her eyes.
"Look, this probably won't mean anything to you, but…" Yusuke said awkwardly. He met her brown eyes with his finally and was almost awestruck at the fire in them.
"Yusuke, please…" she said. He'd been nice to her before and now that she thought about it, he'd been trying to get her out of the park. Maybe because he knew there was a demon loose? He wasn't such a bad guy, but he wanted to hurt her friends…
"I'm sorry, alright!" he finished quickly, nearly yelling, then closed the door forcefully, locking it, leaving Kagome alone in the dark room.
The four Spirit Detectives walked to the park, figuring since it worked for their last fight, it would be a good place for their second one too. Hiei sped by them, jumping from tree branch to tree branch, but keeping the others in sight. Was it just Yusuke or did Hiei seem even faster then usual?
Kuwabara trailed behind as Kurama came to walk beside Yusuke. "You've talked to her before this, before the park even," Kurama said, not asking, but a statement.
Yusuke kept looking ahead of him as they walked. "Yeah I did, twice before the park." He shook his head. "I never would have guessed she was involved with demons. She seemed so… normal."
"Do you think she was lying when she answered us?" the kitsune asked his teammate.
He shook his head again. "I don't know." His hands began fists. He was frustrated with it all.
Kurama didn't even glance as Hiei landed beside him, walking at human pace. "And what did you get from her thoughts, Hiei?"
"Just a few thoughts about the hanyou, but nothing that could help us. And the demon slayer's name," Hiei responded.
"The hanyou must have brainwashed her into thinking the demons are the good guys," Kuwabara mentioned from behind. "She seemed to really believe he'd come and save her. Demons aren't so loyal." Hiei didn't mind his comment, but Kurama glanced back. "Most demons," he quickly changed.
They reached the baseball field and stopped. Kuwabara was about to ask how they were going to get the other group to come, when Yusuke suddenly lifted one hand to the sky, his fingers in the shape of a gun, with the other hand bracing it. His index finger began to glow a faint blue, then suddenly a huge blast came up of his finger, flying into the dark sky.
"If they didn't see it, the hanyou must have at least felt the power," Yusuke said, nodding his head in satisfaction.
"What now?" Kuwabara asked, looking around.
"Now we wait," the redheaded kitsune replied.
Kagome, where are you? Sango thought, worried. Her friend should have been home hours ago. She had left the house around noon, saying she'd be back soon. Ten hours later and no sign of her. The group had gone out looking, but found no trace of her. In the Feudal Era, Inuyasha would have been able to track her, but in the city with so many sounds and scents… no such luck.
Sango sat on the windowsill, her knees drawn up and her cheek resting on her knee as she watched the streets, as though expecting one of those people to be Kagome. Kirara slept peacefully on the couch, while Shippo was next to her, too concerned about Kagome to sleep.
Suddenly she saw a blue flash, going up into the sky, getting lost in the stars. Sango's eyes lit up, the light reflecting in her dark eyes as she watched it. That was no shooting star going across the sky.
She opened her window and put her head out it, looking to the window to the right of her. "Inuyasha," she yelled.
Sango heard another window slide open. Not too soon after, Inuyasha's head came into view. "I saw it. Suit up and let's go."
Nodding, Sango slid her window closed. She turned to Shippo. "Wake Kirara up. I think we have a lead on where to find Kagome."
That perked Shippo right up and he began nudging the cat demon as Sango went to get weapons.
"Are we almost there?" Shippo asked eagerly.
"Yes," Inuyasha replied shortly. It was the third time he'd asked it so far.
The group continued to run through the park, avoiding trees and other obstacles.
"That's what you said last time!" he complained.
Inuyasha tried to calm himself down, willing himself not to strangle the little demon because Kagome would be annoyed with him if he did. But maybe if he got her another little kitsune (a less annoying one) she wouldn't be upset for too long… "That's because you asked two minutes ago," he replied through gritted teeth. See? No act of violence. He was getting better.
"Well, two minutes is a long—" Shippo began but abruptly stopped in speech and in movement. He looked around him then started heading off in a different direction.
"Where are you going, Shippo?" Miroku called after him.
He was getting further and further away, not even stopping as he replied. "To find Kagome!"
"That's what we're doing, you little twerp!" Inuyasha yelled, but the kitsune kept moving.
Sango turned to the others. "I'll follow him to make sure he doesn't get into trouble. I'll meet up with you later." Then Sango was running after him with Kirara not too far behind. Soon both had disappeared into the trees shrouded in darkness.
"If we're meeting our four friends for last night, this will hardly be a fair fight for the two of us," Miroku commented.
"Won't know that until we get there," Inuyasha responded as he took off.
Miroku sighed and followed. Not too much later, they had reached the field they had fought at the previous night. Lo and behold, there stood the three in the center of the field. It took them a few seconds, but they spotted the fourth on a tree branch nearby.
Inuyasha wasted no time in withdrawing his sword as he ran forward, swinging it at Yusuke. Yusuke jumped back just in time.
"Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha growled before attacking again.
"Couldn't we have at least talked first?" Miroku asked mostly to himself since there was no one there to listen anyway.
It seemed that apparently they could not, because Inuyasha and Yusuke were already violently going at it. Obviously, Yusuke had not told Inuyasha where to find her, only spitted insults out at him, which made him angrier and attack with his sword, but Yusuke was quick enough to evade the attacks.
Kurama had taken out his rose whip, but was instead attacking Inuyasha and not Miroku, which was fine with the monk since he didn't want anymore wounds from the weapon. Miroku turned his attention to Kuwabara, using his staff to stop an attack on Inuyasha from the human. The tall one had a new weapon, a weird sort of sword that didn't look solid, but felt solid against his staff.
Hiei watched the fight for a few minutes, not moving from his spot. They were doing fine without him, they didn't need him to defeat the hanyou and his servant. But why hadn't the third showed? Too scared to show up? He nearly sneered, but without her he had no desire to fight the other pathetic two and just watching the fight bored him. He wanted it to end quickly.
He jumped easily down from the tree and walked at a human pace to the human fighting the baka. "You're taking too long," Hiei told Kuwabara. He took out his sword. "I'll finish this quickly."
Kuwabara tried to argue the insult to his fighting, never mind the fact that Koenma had mentioned he didn't want the humans killed, but Hiei didn't give him a chance. He wasn't planning killing him anyway, just knocking him unconscious after cutting him up a bit. He couldn't be faulted for that.
Miroku held up his staff defensively but knew it would be of virtually no use against Hiei, having already seen his speed. Hiei jumped to attack, sword flashing, when he heard a voice.
"Hiraikotsu!"
The large weapon came spinning quickly toward him and he leapt away from it and Miroku too, as it spun between them. Then the enlarged boomerang-like weapon turned, coming back the way it came and he followed it with his eyes back to its owner. There, riding toward them, was the demon slayer on the neko youkai. She jumped off the demon to catch the weapon, going down on one knee to steady herself as she caught it.
With the weapon over her back and her face to the ground, she told him, "stay away from him." Sango stood up, lifting her head up to meet his eyes. "You're mine to fight, remember?" she said, repeating his words from the night before with a smile.
There was the smallest bit of a smirk on his lips, but it was more wicked than nice. "So you showed up after all. I thought you might be too spineless to come back, woman," Hiei said as he sheathed his sword, his hands going to his pockets. He knew her name now, but deliberately avoided using it.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world," she said wryly, the smile still playing across her lips as she moved warily closer. "What happened with Shippo?" Miroku called to her, before he began to fight Kuwabara again as the other boy attacked him.She shook her head. "Lost sight of him and then I heard this fight going on. I thought I'd be better use here." Miroku could say no more after that, putting all his attention into the fight.
Sango turned her attention back to Hiei, who stood there, watching her. Waiting for her to make the first move, was he? Then how should she go about this? The others continued to fight around them, but neither the demon nor the demon slayer moved nor paid attention to anything else. Testing him, she took a step to the left. He took a step to his. She quickly found she didn't like this game. She liked it better when he just attacked and maybe that's why he was doing so. He wanted her to be uncomfortable and annoyed.
Sango turned to look behind her. "Kirara," she called.
Hiei's smile turned even more devious, if that was possible. "Don't count on it."
Sango turned back toward him curiously, then saw him take something out of a pocket. Was that… was that catnip?
Crap.
He tossed it the youkai's way and she caught it mid-leap, changing back to her smaller form as she did. Once her feet hit the ground, Kirara went crazy, playing with it as it gave off the intoxicating smell.
"That was hardly fair," Sango said, crossing her arms.
"If you expect your opponent to always be fair, you haven't fought many demons," Hiei informed her. She opened her mouth to argue, but he continued, "don't whine and complain. It makes you seem weak." He pushed her on further. "Weaker than you already are, that is."
They walked closer to each other, partially unintentionally but cautiously all the same. She never withdrew her sword, so neither did he. "Giving me pointers now?" she questioned dryly. They were a foot away.
Her body was completely relaxed, then without any warning she tried to punch him. He caught her fist way before it could hit his face. "Not fast enough." He threw her fist away from him, making her stumble back. Sango managed to keep her footing and tried to attack once more, throwing as many punches as fast as she could. He either blocked or caught all of them. Every time he pushed her back, she came back, even fast, adrenaline running through her veins. She hardly ever used fists to fight, not needing to, but she tried her best now.
Sango stumbled to the grass when he pushed her back yet again. The first few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "You call that fast? That's hardly better than the baka," Hiei insulted.
"What do you want from me?" She asked angrily, pushing herself up on her arms, "you're a demon, I'm not as quick as you. We both already know this."
"Some humans can be quick, you just don't have enough power or skill," he mocked her.
No one, no one insulted her training. She learned from her father, one of the best, of his time at least.
She leapt to her feet and attacked again. She shook it up, making sure her punches had no pattern and that they were at random, but he could still catch all of them. Then out of the blue tried to kick him in the side. He managed to catch it, but only just. Her foot was an inch away from hitting him.
"Better," he told her. He twisted her foot in his hand, making her lose her balance and fall with a cry. She just managed to throw her arms up so that her she didn't hit her head hard on the ground.
"Why are you just playing with me?" Sango snapped. She was getting aggravated that she couldn't even get one blow in. "You could have killed me the second I arrived."
"You're holding back," Hiei told her, "I won't kill you until you give me your all. But I can put you through a lot of pain until then." He actually wouldn't kill her at all. He couldn't without getting penalized for it now that Koenma knew of her, so Hiei would probably just knock her out and leave her to Koenma to deal with, even if he didn't like the idea. But she didn't know any of that.
Sango got to her feet slowly, gritting her teeth at the pain. She wasn't sure, but she thought he might have twisted her ankle. Whether intentionally, she didn't know, but it hurt a lot. Quickly she put it out of her mind, which made the pain recede a little.
Finally, she took out her sword. "Then let's go."
Kagome spun Shippo's toy, watching it spin so fast her eyes couldn't follow the rotation. Not the most fun thing to do, but it helped pass the time while she was by herself in the dark room.
She couldn't help but worry about the others. She didn't think they'd kill Sango and Miroku, especially since they hadn't killed her… but Inuyasha was a different story. She didn't know what they'd do if they had her friends in their clutches either. And what about Shippo? He was a demon… would they kill him too? She shivered at the thought.
They didn't seem like bad people though, Yusuke and the rest. So nothing was certain. And her friends were strong. Who's to say they wouldn't win?
Kagome grabbed the top mid-spin and put it back in her coat pocket. She sighed, leaning heavily against the wall. This whole incident was making her nervous, not knowing what was happening to her friends while she was trapped… She'd tried to open the door and the boarded up window. Neither would budge.
"Kagome?" A muffled voice called from outside. "Kagomeeee?"
It took her a moment to place the voice, but she got it. "Shippo!" she yelled, standing up abruptly and going to the window where the voice had been near. "Shippo, in here!" She banged on the boards.
There was a pause before he responded. "Move away from the window," he instructed her.
She did as asked, moments later the call "Fox Fire" being heard. Slowly the wood became burnt, the wood weakening, turning black, and a few holes appearing as the fire consumed it. The fire disappeared after awhile, but Kagome hit her arm against the board, knocking it away from the window.
Shippo jumped in through the hole seconds later and into Kagome's arms. "Shippo!" Kagome said, hugging him tight, "how'd you find me?"
The kitsune reached down into her pocket, taking out his toy. "This top is one of my illusion tricks and has some of my powers connected to it. When you started spinning it, I could trace it back here."
Kagome squeezed him tighter. "Remember me to give you all the candy and sweets you want when we get home."
His face brightened even more. "I'll hold you to that," Shippo warned her, then unwrapped the piece of gum he also snatched from her pocket, "and I'll be taking this for advance payment." He popped the stick of gum in his mouth and Kagome laughed.
The seriousness of the situation, however, came back to her and her face became somber. "I don't think either of us are the bad guy here, it's just a misunderstanding," she said, more to herself than Shippo. She looked down at the kitsune in her arms. "Come on, we have to get there before they tear each other apart."
He nodded in agreement and Kagome began her crawl out of window. Luckily it wasn't that far of a drop to the ground. Then she took off running, Shippo giving her directions on how to get back to the park.
She only hoped she wouldn't be too late.
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews! Besides loving the actually writing part, I love to see people's reactions to all the crazy stuff that happens in the chapter(s) and they really brighten up my day:o)
