The Inu Hanyou Of Notre Dame

Chapter Six

Back Off

Last Time -

Smiling some Kagome reached out blindly into the night and lay her hand on Inuyasha's arm.

"Thank you…"

"There's nothing to thank."

"Not just the food…Inuyasha…for everything."

Now -

Nightlife in Paris was a sight to behold, at least in those areas not under the iron grasp of Judge Naraku. With Romanies performing their divinations and Jesters already ready to make someone laugh the lure of the night became increasingly difficult to avoid. Especially as the celebrations for what Romanies referred to as "Beltane" reached their climax. And as these events became increasingly appealing keeping the general public away from them was no longer a matter of voiced threats and passionate sermons. And as was one of Naraku's policies, if you can't beat them…join them and destroy them from the inside. So it was to a great general surprise, that Naraku announced his own festival to celebrate the "Victory of the Crusaders over the Heathens." And to this festival, as it was announced, everyone was welcome. Though Naraku had plans for at least a few of the guests.

Kouga was not a man of terrific moral fiber, or puritan value. Even as a Captain he dawdled in less than legal activities. Returning to Paris after crusading to convert the heathen (and teach the heathen woman a thing or two) he had come home a hero. Now, due to his expertise in such matters, he was having a meeting with the most powerful man in Paris…and had yet to pay a speck of attention to anything that he had said.

"So, do you understand the plan?"

The suddenly devious voice of Naraku had jolted him out of his fantasy involving the young maid who had come inside to serve them warm frothy ale.

"Uh…Of course."

"Good…then these people of ill repute…Romanies, and Miko will all fall to my trap come the festival's final night."

"Right."

AS he left the office he discreet asked his two fellow officers what the meeting had been about. With small smiles they began to inform him of Naraku's plan but soon found that his attention had been distracted by the sight of a pretty girl running through a snow-crested alleyway made dark by Paris' setting sun.

Excusing himself quickly to Ginta and Hakkaku he ran quickly after her. Reaching out he almost grabbed onto her arm when he was startled by the sudden appearance of a figure in front of him.

"Just what the hell do you thing you are doing?"

"Just wanted to talk to that mademoiselle."

"Listen…officer…back off."

"Is she yours?"

If he had had better eyesight Kouga would have been able to see the light blush evident on Inuyasha's cheeks. However he was rewarded with having his arm grabbed, and twisted very harshly.

"Back off."

And with a finishing snarl Inuyasha walked off into Kagome's direction leaving behind a very stupefied Kouga.
