AN; I am so sorry! I have just been overloaded with work recently. Gomen Gomen!

Update:...21/05/2004

I corrected most grammar errors and changed the names of Manten and Hiten, correcting the mistakes, but you don't have to read it again...

Disclaimer: If I owned InuYasha, I would be rich and famous...

'Thinking'

"Talking''

SILVER WEAPON

Chapter ten

by JapaneseDragon

Now Kagome was looking at him like he was a ghost.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kagome smiled. A real, genuine smile.

InuYasha glued his eyes to the road and gulped.

"How touching!" exclaimed Miroku. He whispered in Kagome's ear:

"So...can I be godfather for your children?"

"HENTAI!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome and InuYasha did not say anything else for a while, and exchanged glances now and then. How in hell could of Miroku thought such a perverted thing? That guy was twisted...

Shippou had fallen asleep, InuYasha's slower driving was easier to sleep in, and he was bored. Miroku and Sango had practically fallen asleep in each other's arms unconsciously. It was very cute.

On the horizon, the sun was starting to set. Kagome yawned, covering her mouth, and flexed her fingers. They were itching to do something.

She looked into the sky and saw a flock of cranes flying together in the sunlight. They looked like white angels flying in a contrast of orange light, flapping their beautiful wings. Kagome let herself smile. Her mother used to love cranes...The way they would fly, their majestic demeanor...They were beautiful...

She watched them until they disappeared from sight. Kagome took off her sunglasses and watched the setting sun.

"You okay?'' asked InuYasha hesitantly, breaking the peaceful silence.

"I'm fine.'' she answered calmly.

"Ok.'' InuYasha didn't know what to say.

"Thanks for asking, I suppose.''

"Feh.'' he blushed.

'Why am I blushing? Dang...'

She looked at him for a second.

''I'll drive now.''

"No.''

"What?''

''N.O. No. Your tired.'' he explained gruffly.

Kagome looked thoughtful.

'He's cares...That's sweet...He's not really ALL that annoying...' she smiled.

With that, she dozed off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

"Kirara.''

"Yes, master.''

''Is the trap ready?''

"Yes...Manten and Hiten are getting ready to go.''

"Good.''

"Shall I go too?''

"No.''

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback

The house was destroyed. She saw the corpses of her parents, lying on the ground, amongst the ruins of their once happy home.

Ash and Flames fell everywhere. The young girl ran towards her dad's body, engulfed by the rising flames. She wrapped her arms around his body. She didn't cry. She looked at her father's face. She looked at the flames.

Her whole world was shattered, burned, morphed into a burning hell.

She looked around.

She was alone. She had no more family. They were gone. She was alone.

She got up, heartbroken, and walked away from her house. Mommy...Daddy...

"Come BAAACK!" she yelled, crying. She fell to her knees.

''Don't leave me here...Don't leave me behind..''

End of Flashback

"FATHER! MOM! DONT TOUCH THEM! SOUTA! NOOOOO!" Kagome screamed in her sleep, but still didn't wake. InuYasha, startled; he pulled over to the side of the road and got out of the car.

"Kagome! KAGOME! Snap out of it! Com'on!'' he opened her door and shook her lightly.

Miroku and Sango watched, very interested.

Shippou was asleep. (STILL? Ô.ò)

Kagome twitched nervously in her sleep, fear painted all over her face.

InuYasha never saw her act like this, it was scary.

"GYAAAA!'' she screamed, jerking upward, shaking, but finally up. She bumped her head against the ceiling, though.

"Owww...'' she rubbed her eyes and watched them all; looking at her expectantly.

''What?''

InuYasha reddened and went back to the wheel.

"I said-''

''Shaddup! I'm trying to drive!''

Kagome's eyes widened.

'I take back what I thought before...'

"Owww...''

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome was seriously pissed. Not only was InuYasha being rude, moody, and obnoxious (obnoxiously cute!), but also somehow they hit traffic as they left the small, deserted road they were on, and hit the main highway. She sighed, annoyed.

"I think it's time for Kagome-sama to take over the wheel.'' Miroku stated.

"I agree.'' Kagome added.

InuYasha growled. Angrily, he nodded.

Kagome and InuYasha switched places, InuYasha glaring at Kagome.

''What?''

"Nothing.'' he mumbled.

''Buckle up, my friends, for this won't be an enjoyable ride for those who are scared of an adrenaline rush...'' she said, smirking as she stepped on the gas pedal and turned the wheel violently. The car jerked, but pulled to the side and zoomed passed the other cars, who stared honking violently in protest.

InuYasha rolled his eyes and didn't dare take his eyes off the road before him.

Sango held onto Miroku's arm, squirming slightly as the car jerked dangerously as the crossed a bridge, almost flying off.

Miroku was on seventh heaven. His precious Sango was clinging on to him! Oh happy day! His heart was singing. He didn't dare do anything perverted; either out of respect for Kagome's need of unbroken concentration, or the fact is that Sango would throw him through the window if he dared.

Shippou grinned silently, his stomach doing a back flip as he recalled Kirara's face...

InuYasha was (still) sulking.

Kagome stopped the car suddenly on the side of a deserted road in the middle of the forest.

Everyone was flung forward apart from Kagome.

"We're here. Take your stuff and get out. I have to abandon the car here.'' she said, getting out, pulling a small black cloth shoulder bag.

She closed the door.

"What do you mean, leaving the car here?'' InuYasha said, getting out.

"The police probably knows what kind of car we drive now. It will take no time at all for them to track us if someone memorized the license plate. '' Shippou answered for her.

''Know it all.'' InuYasha scoffed.

"Shut up.'' Sango intervened before Shippou could answer to that. ''Shouldn't we erase our finger prints, too?'' she added to Kagome.

Kagome pulled her long black jacket on.

She looked at her.

''Good idea. Take care of that, please, while I take care of something.''

"What?'' InuYasha asked her.

''You.'' she slapped him.

Slap.

Slap.

Slap.

Slap.

"That's for every time you insulted me or was rude or just plain IGNORED me.''

"What the fuck?''

"Shut up.''

She then added.

''When I've cooled off, you can address me. JUST LAY OFF!" she screamed in his ear.

He looked really surprised, but he shut up. She was very moody these days.

"You deserved it.'' Miroku said in his ear.

"I didn't do anything...unless...can she read minds?'' he whispered hastily.

Miroku rubbed his forehead.

''Say sorry and get this over with. You and your stupidity will lose us all.''

"Unless yours does first.''

Miroku rolled his eyes. InuYasha stopped off.

'InuYasha equals hothead, Kagome equals sexy babe with a mean attitude... They're perfect for each other, but nether will EVER admit that...' he sighed.

"Miroku, care to help me?''

"I'm all yours, my sweet-''

"Shut up and help me and Shippou clean the car!''

--------------------------At Kagome's house----------------------

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

One after the other, the three black bullets went through the target, dead in the center. Kagome continued the shooting as she practice in the room set up especially for it.

Kagome's determined faced never faltered as she continued shooting and destroying, one after the other, her targets.

InuYasha was watching in fascination as she was shooting gracefully through the wide window. He was sitting in a tree, looking at the sunset and occasionally would turn his head to watch Kagome shredding up the poor straw targets. He gulped. He had a horrible feeling in his stomach that she would shoot him in the back if he wasn't looking. He almost shuddered.

No. She wouldn't do that.

He watched her as she put away her two black guns. She put away their case in their appropriate shelves, and took out an old wooden box.

She pulled from it a silver gun with bloodstains on it.

She bit her lip as she looked at it. Putting it back in, she put it away hastily.

InuYasha frowned.

''What the hell?'' he murmured.

She fell to her knees, her hands holding her head, her slightly wavy hair covering her face. She was shaking.

'Is she crying? K'so...' he swore.

But she wasn't crying.

She was trying with all her might not to.

She fell to the ground, sound asleep in a world of nightmares.

InuYasha jumped down from her tree and ran to the inside the room. She was lying by the shelves. He turned her over and examined her face. No, she hadn't cried. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He gently picked her up bridal style and brought her out of the shadowy room into the fading sunlight. He brought her to her room, inwardly savoring every moment she was in his arms like this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around midnight, movement shattered the unbroken silence and calm that held around Kagome's estate. Ten men dressed completely in black, with masks over their faces, infiltrated the property, somehow getting past the security. As quietly as mice and as deadly as a snake they made their way into the ancient courtyard.

One man took off his mask and told the others to search all the rooms.

He entered Kagome's room and knelt besides the sleeping woman.

Bending over her silently, about to cover her mouth with a piece of cloth, but something cold and hard sliced through his stomach before he could do anything.

Kagome forced the knife in a bit more, in such a way that would could see a pointy edge sprouting from his back, cutting through his black shirt.

She kicked away the dead man from her, pulling out the bloody knife out. Blood was leaking through the floor and all over her. Kagome took the thirty-centimeter long knife and walked out cautiously into the night, only to find Miroku and Sango fighting side by side against four men, and Shippou was running around frantically, trying to escape from one man (literally) chasing him.

Kagome threw her knife through that man's head, seriously defigurating him, and ran towards the fallen body to retrieve her sword-like knife.

Shippou was throwing up.

Kagome rolled her eyes, took out her knife from the back of the man's head and ran to the other rooms, looking for InuYasha and the other 'ninjas'.

She entered a room (the dining room) and looked around cautiously. Nobody was there, but she could've sworn she had heard someone. Still suspicious, she turned around to leave, but something hit her on the back of her head.

Hard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sango was fighting alongside Miroku, trying to take out the still standing men (only two left) and knock them into dreamland.

Miroku did a formidable right hook on one of the poor guy's face and he clutched his nose, deconcentrated, but fell down as Miroku finished him off.

Sango took a steel boomerang from her back and knocked the other guy with it. The boomerang was very sharp-edged and hard, yet light. It was as long as her arm, and perfectly shaped. (Like her boomerang in the manga, just smaller.) Don't ask me how she carried it on her back, she just did.

Miroku and Sango looked at each other and nodded. Good job.

Shippou walked to them.

''Where's Kagome...and InuYasha, for that matter?'' the younger one asked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where do you think you're going?"

InuYasha landed before a sturdy (fat) man, in his arms was a lifeless Kagome.

His blood boiled and he flexed his fingers.

He looked at the man strait in the eye. The man almost staggered. He tried to find a way past InuYasha.

''Give me the girl.'' InuYasha said imperatively.

The man didn't say anything.

"Give.Me.Kagome.Now.'' He snarled again.

Without further ado, InuYasha launched himself at the man, punching him in the face, grabbing Kagome out of his reach.

'Almost too easy.' InuYasha thought, laying Kagome on the ground, kneeling by her. He looked back, and watched as the man hurriedly took off his mask and wiped the blood from his face. He then felt the top of his bald head (which InuYasha just noticed).

"My last hairs...gone...GONE! NOOO!" He cried frantically, on the verge of tears.

InuYasha's eyebrow shot up.

''Who in bloody hell cares?'' InuYasha asked in a low voice, clueless.

"MY HAAAAAAAIIIIIR! NOOOOOOOO!" The man howled, crying.

"o.O''

The man was sobbing, but was also furious. He threw himself at InuYasha a, who only managed to get Kagome away at the last minute. He stood up and watched as this man hit the ground. This man was...just...

Retarded.

InuYasha waited expectantly for this man to regain his calm and for him to stop crying. Kagome still slumbering in his arms, rather peacefully.

Miroku, Sango and Shippou soon arrived at the scene. They looked strangely at the blubbering man. Then at InuYasha. Miroku saw Kagome in his arms and smirked, earning him a few glares.

They all sweat-dropped as their attention focused on the psychopath in front of them.

He was looking strait at InuYasha furiously.

''You made my last three pieces of hair fall out! You will pay!''

"For...hair?'' InuYasha quickly got out of the way and gave Kagome to Sango and Shippou before punching him again.

The fight was rather unbalanced; the man had no freaking idea of what he was doing. You could almost say he was doing more damage to himself than to InuYasha.

"Tut tut tut... Are you really that pathetic, Manten?''

A tall, rather good-looking but cruel man suddenly made his appearance.

''Hiten...brother-''

''You displease me.''

"I'm sorry.'' Manten said quickly, lowering his head in shame.

"So.'' Hiten turned around to face InuYasha, '' I will only say this once, Naraku gets what he wants. Naraku wants your girl who you are so possessively protecting.''

Hiten smirked.

''Easy enough to understand, bastard?''

"Fuck off.''

''Language! We have a small child in our presence.'' he nudged towards Shippou. ''By the way, kid, Kirara says ''Hi''.'' he sniggered as Shippou glared at him.

InuYasha was about to attack him when Hiten took out a gun. He twirled it around his finger arrogantly and stopped it in a shooting position.

He smirked.

"Now hand over the girl nicely...before I shoot you.''

"Keep on dreamin'.'' InuYasha retorted.

Hiten shot InuYasha.

The bullet was heading strait for his heart.

And InuYasha wasn't moving.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

InuYasha couldn't move. He had no idea why. It was like he was paralyzed, as if he knew his time was up, and nothing could save him; as if it was destiny. No thing and no one could save him from this fate.

Well...

''Baka! Do you want to die?'' yelled Kagome, pushing him out of the way.

The bullet ended ripping through her side, ripping a great amount of skin and a small part of her black tank top. She fell over InuYasha.

He got up on his knees shakily, and confused.

Kagome winced slowly as she collided unto the floor. She placed her hand on InuYasha's shoulder and got up.

''Herr...''she breathed rather raspily, ''what's going...on exactly?'' she asked, ''Last thing I remember was getting hit on the head...''

InuYasha got up next to her.

"This bastard's called Hiten. That coward behind him is his brother or something Manten. He's angry because his hairs fell off...''

Kagome tried not to look completely perplexed.

AN:

CLIFFIE! I am so sorry! This chapter was gonna be so much longer! Than my computer crashed and this chappie got deleted and I had to rerite it and omg! Im still pissed! But aren't you all proud? I spent two days non stop on my pc reriting it for u so that I could post it today or tomorrow...im wacked, my fingers hurt, and I have a few announcements...

Anyways, ive decided to accept flames.

Gasps.

So if you hate me or the story, say it.

Id like that.

Just keep in mind that you will be laughed at, but I will take ur comments in consideration, so ur flaming time wont be wasted. I have that much respect for u "Flamers"...

I recently got a e-mail ( not a review that appears on about how badly and wannabee my Kagome is, and she is way too OC and other bullshit.

Um...excuse me?

If u haven't noticed, my dear flamer friend (for her sake I will not name her, and yes, she is someone I now...and lucky her, she doesn't even know hoo I am in return, rather ironic and complicated, but im not going to tell that story now...) that is the WHOLE FREGGIN POINT OF FANFICTION!

Fanfiction is about taking characters of one book, anime or movie, and putting them in new places, changing scenarios or giving them new abilities and attitudes. My fic is an AU, wich means that I changed a whole lot. I have to say that I played with my characters and tortured them, getting Kagome to a point where she is like a kick-ass woman who has one goal in life: revenge. I had to torture my favorite character, give her a sad and painful past, and give her nothing but an even worse future to be able to imagine and write her like I did. But it will be a future where she will prove herself worthy and thanks to a few of the characters and events, calm down her never ending anger and angst.

I almost to a point where I want to kick myself for doing this to Kagome. You do understand that this Kagome is the opposite of the original Kagome; who sweet, caring, gentle and rather emotionnal into a harsh, ruthless woman who hides everything that comes close to emotions, even if that's hard sometimes. But the point is, I changed and molded a completely new characters.

And im sorry if u find her a wannabee.

Im sorry that u don't like her.

But.I.don't.care.

That's all for my ranting!
