It's the same story as every other time. I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters in it. That would be Rumiko Takahashi. I probably don't need to include this at the start of each story, but its better to make sure.

Chapter 16
Busted
Sesshomaru frowned disdainfully at the sunlight pouring through the windows. It felt so early. He looked at his alarm clock. 3:06 AM. For a moment, he didn't understand why the time made him freeze in shock. "This is the NYPD! Come out with your hands up and no one gets hurt!"
That wasn't sun! It was floodlights!
"Kagura!" Sesshomaru yelled, rolling out of his bed and pulling his suit pants on over his boxers. "Where are you! Kagura!"
Bare feet came running down the hall and Sesshomaru turned, expecting to see Kagura, but finding Rin instead. Her black hair was tangled and her face was white with fear. "Daddy? What's going on?"
"Where's Kagura?"
Rin blinked, glancing at the window nervously, "I . . . I don't know! I was all alone and – "
"Where's Kanna?"
"She went to see her grandpa again. I told her not to, but she ignored me!" Rin said, tears running down her cheeks. "I couldn't find her! I'm scared, Daddy!"
Sesshomaru swore bitterly. Outside, the police were shouting again. "You have ten seconds and then we're sending men in!"
"Hold on!" He sad, grabbing Rin and throwing her over his shoulder. He slammed his fist down on the floor, knocking a huge hole in the expensive Italian marble. He dropped through, and took off running almost before his feet hit the ground. As soon as he reached Naraku's cell, he kicked the door open.
Naraku sat in the corner, Kanna seated on his lap with the mirror she'd been ordered to destroy on her lap. "Kanna, come! We have to run!"
"Ah, now the pretty doggy comes to see me!" Naraku purred, "Now that the world knows who he is!"
"Kanna, now!"
Kanna stood, staring at her father in mild disinterest. "Naraku says that I could be very powerful, even more than you, Father."
Sesshomaru stared at her blankly for a moment. "Now's not the time to discuss this, Kanna. The police – "
"He says that you're afraid to let me reach my true potential. That's why you wanted me to destroy my mirror. He says that you don't really care about me, you just keep me so my mother will do whatever you tell her to. He says that you're an evil man and that"
"Kanna, we can discuss all this later! But we must hurry!" Sesshomaru could hear the unmistakable sound of a battering ran crashing through the front door. He lost his composure for a moment and swore furiously, "Forget Naraku! Come with me, now!"
Naraku stood slowly, a cocky grin on his face, "Ah, but Kanna wants to stay with someone who can see her true potential, don't you."
Kanna's impassive face showed no indication that she preferred Naraku over Sesshomaru, but instantly he knew what had happened. "You've been disobeying me, haven't you Kanna? I told you to stay away from Naraku."
"FREEZE!"
The high-powered flashlights on the SWAT team's flashlights flooded the room. Sesshomaru whirle around, his eyes fire red and his face already turning canine. "You fools!"
Suddenly, the room shook and was filled with a foul smelling gas and a cloud of nearly opaque dust. Naraku had escaped and had taken Kanna with him. Sesshomaru let out a howl and broke into a full-speed run, sliding Rin down in front of him so she was protected by his body and followed Naraku's path of destruction through the walls.
Gunfire tore after him like a storm and several times, he felt the sharp bite of bullets driving themselves into his back. He ignored the pain, focusing on chasing the monster who'd stolen one of his children and protecting the one he still carried.
In normal circumstances, Sesshomaru would have laughed at the thought of mortal police officers chasing a demon through the city streets. Tonight, however, more was at stake and he had to be sure that there was no way that they'd find him. He must have run for in circles and loops for three hours, before the effects of his wounds made him realize that he would have to seek shelter.
Rin had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He stopped in an alleyway and crouched behind a dumpster. Cold shock washed over him when he saw that Rin was covered with blood. He laughed when he realized that it was his blood covering her clothes and not hers. He carefully ran his hands over her, making sure that she hadn't been injured. "Just exhausted." He murmured, and carefully picked her up again.
He needed to find a safe place for Rin so that he could track Naraku down and save Kanna. He struggled to think of a single person who owed him or could be trusted. He could think of none. He cursed the day he'd decided to get involved with Kagura and her deceitful businesses. Then he understood the one place that she would be safe. His stomach twisted and he wanted to vomit, but he knew that of all places, this would be the one where no one could hurt her.
Sesshomaru coughed and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground. He leanded back on his heels and looked up at the muted city sky. "Forgive me, my love. For her safety, I have no choice."
This is pretty rough. I could have made it longer, but I figured now I'd let you wonder what he has to reveal, who he's talking to, and also where he's going. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys know the answer to all three already, but oh well! Responses are always welcome!
