Dancing Dragons
-Chapter 9-
"Rohan is my brother."
My eyes widened at the sudden revelation and didn't mind him going along as much as I had at first.
"Let's go." I growled.
"InuYasha slow down!"
That damned woman was screaming in my ears, even if she didn't know it. Her voice was high with fear because I was going over the speed limit. Didn't she understand that Kagome was more important than breaking a few laws?
"Shut up will you!"
I dodged the cars, weaved in and out through traffic, and each time Sango's screaming got worse. I sighed and grabbed hold of my ears for a second when we finally arrived at our destination.
"What the hell?" muttered Miroku next to me. "It's deserted."
"Let's go in."
We went in and, oh dear god, it was deserted. No Kagome, no Rohan, no Aya, no nothing.
"Sweet Lo." I growled warningly.
"Cut your growling and come over here."
I looked over to Konan who had a door open. Trick is the door was on the ground. We all moved quickly and found all the damned guards right at the foot of the stairs. We knocked them out quickly. We as in: Me, Miroku, Sango, and Konan. Sweet Lo just stayed put like the good girl she was.
"It's the Underground Railroad!" exclaimed Miroku in a high pitched voice.
Sango punched him, slightly ticked at his nerve.
"We're trying to save Kagome here. The Underground Railroad is not in Tokyo, Japan baka!"
Up ahead we found that the bad guys always like to make it hard on you when you want to find the person they kidnapped. There were two hallways, fifty fifty chance.
"Right. Me and Konan will go through the left and the rest of you guys go through the right."
They all nodded in assent and went on their way. Konan and I ran looking both ways occasionally shouting out Kagome's name.
"InuYasha!"
Both of us stopped in unison and ran ahead, again, in unison.
"Kagome!"
I could hear her screaming my name frantically behind the damned steel door in front of us. Konan looked at it with a hopeless look.
"Idiot." I muttered before running straight into it.
To Konan's great amazement, and to the great boost of my ego, the door gave in under my weight and force.
"Kagome!"
I spotted her tied to a hospital bed; her hands chained with handcuffs to the bars and her ankles the same. Her eyes were blind folded with a black scarf, preventing her from seeing where I was. I took off the blind fold and she struggled to open her eyes and adjust to the sudden bright light.
"InuYasha?"
"Yes kitten?"
"Don't call me kitten."
I laughed and looked around for the keys. Konan, however, had a different idea. He grabbed a gun off of a nearby table and shot the handcuffs, freeing Kagome successfully.
"You could've hurt her moron!" I screamed.
"But I didn't," he said calmly, "now move."
I picked up Kagome, whom was limp in my arms.
"Rohan." I muttered.
"Oh bravo InuYasha. You know my name."
"Konan, what're you doing with that gun?" asked a different woman, which I guessed was Maya.
"Maya." I growled with hate.
"Hello to you too cutie."
I felt disgusted, utterly disgusted.
"Konan, what're you doing with that gun?" asked Rohan, approaching us.
"Stop Rohan." he said, pointing the gun at the man.
"You wouldn't shoot your own brother, would you?"
"Would I?" he asked softly.
"No!" he screamed lunging for the gun.
The gun went off and so did I. I went straight for Maya, whom I saw fingering a gun under the waistband of her pants.
"Pay bitch!"
I punched her in the nose and, surprisingly, she was knocked out.
"I'm sorry brother." Konan whispered behind me.
I looked back and saw Rohan on the floor in a pool of his own blood. Konan shot him; he saved Kagome in a way.
"Hey InuYasha..."
"Hm?"
"Are you sure you're business man? You're too well-built to be a business man I-"
"What the hell!"
We both looked up from Rohan's body to Aya's insane face.
"Kidnapping, dealing with convicts, freeing said convicts, and dealing with Naraku? The same guy that wanted to take Kagome from me two months ago?"
"It's where she belonged!" she sneered.
"Shut up." I growled darkly.
"Why couldn't you be like those guys in high school, eh? Why couldn't you just bow down to me and bed me because of my looks? No," she laughed, "you had to fall for the damn whore. Supposed victim to emotional abuse and such. It's all trash and lies!"
"Shut up." I said, louder.
The police busted in, all pointing guns at Aya.
"I'm still here InuYasha," she said in a sudden mood change, "love me. Leave Kagome and come with me. I could offer you much more than her, please. I'm begging you!"
I shook my head silently. There was no way I was leaving Kagome any time soon.
"InuYasha. My blood will run on your hands. Come with me now!"
She lifted Maya's gun from the floor and pointed it to her head.
"Aya, what are you doing? Put the gun down Aya." I pleaded.
"I just wanted you to love me InuYasha." she said in between tears.
I looked away and heard three shots ring out. I buried my face in Kagome's body.
"I'm sorry..."
Back Home 1 Day Later
"Kagome. Kagome wake up, please. Wake up kitten. I promise I don't bite... yet."
Her pinkish color stared back at me, unmoving. Her chest rose and fell with every second that passed, every agonizing second.
"Kagome please," I said looking around me, checking to see that we were alone, "I love you Kagome..."
"Aww!"
I turned around to see Sango and Miroku hugging each other, faking tears and all.
"I love you, Miroku!"
"I love you too, Sango!"
Again they hugged, faking tears.
"You idiots are going to get it." I growled.
"Yikes!" they squeaked and high-tailed it out of the room, with me hot on their trail.
"I hear Sesshomaru took over for you InuYasha!" screamed Miroku in front of me, running still.
"So what!"
"We're taking over Kagome's club!"
"The hell you are!"
"Oh?" questioned Sango, slightly out of breath.
"I am!"
Kagome's POV
I opened my eyes to the stale white ceiling, something pleasant I guess.
"Kagome? Are you awake?"
"Yes Nana." I responded softly.
I felt better than I had before; after being strapped to who-knows-what, who wouldn't?
"Well it's time to eat! To drink! Everybody out! Out, out, out, out!"
I giggled as everybody ran out and Nana brought me a plate of steaming spaghetti with cold lemonade.
"Oh, did I ever tell you how much I adore you Nana?"
"Plenty of times child, plenty of times."
I twirled in front of my mirror. Everybody would love my surprise at the club, especially those guys that had been coming since the opening of the club itself. My dancers, more commonly known as the Dancing Dragons now, were on every other day, having their breaks. I, however, was their teacher and therefore the crowd demanded I do a dance too. Well, I had prepared my dance and I was going to perform it that night.
InuYasha's POV
"Sesshomaru, are you sure you understand everything I've told you about all the companies and their investors and-"
"InuYasha. Calm down and go home already. I'm sure your mate must be up by now."
"M-Mate!"
"Oh that's right. Sit down little brother."
I sat down obediently, peering at my older brother as I used to when we were kids.
"This is your first girlfriend and I must tell you not to screw it up."
"Excuse me!" I shouted indignantly, shooting off my seat.
"Sit."
I, indignantly, followed orders.
"I mean don't be stupid and possessive. Girls don't like over protective guys, much less overly possessive ones."
"I'm getting the talk at the age of 24?"
I walked into the club, it was now late at night, and I was doing my routine check. I had yet to go check up on Kagome and her health, but I decided it could wait for a few minutes. The crowd was especially rowdy tonight and I noticed Sango and Miroku were standing at the foot of the crowd, entranced by the dancer shaking her sapphire belly ring.
"Wait a minute... A sapphire belly ring!"
I pushed and shoved to the front of the line and saw none other than my own kitten dancing with barely any clothes on! She was on the stage her dancers were usually on dancing to some foreign song. Strips of her white skirt fluttered everywhere and her white tube top had me staring, like all the others. She bounced this way and that, she even dumped a bottle of booze on the crowd, who cheered like maniacs wanting more. The lights started to fade and soon nothing the bright glow of the exit sign could be seen, the music started to become slower, almost hypnotic.
"What the hell...?"
Suddenly a light flashed and concentrated on Kagome. She moved her hips in time with the song. She did the splits once or twice and turned around and slapped her ass in front of many of the men.
"Kagome you get off that stage!" I screamed with fury.
She shook her head and winked at me. What the hell was she thinking doing those seductive dances in front of a rowdy crowd! I jumped onto the stage, to Miroku's great amusement. Sango joined him in his laughter, giving me an awful sense of foreboding and whenever I got those...
"STRIP! STRIP! STRIP!"
"NO STRIPPING!" I screamed, looking at Kagome's swaying body.
To my great horror they started playing the Siren Remix. I waved my hands at the D.J.'s booth to see Sango smiling with her evil face down at me. It was a conspiracy.
Like a Siren's song you rescued me In your eyes I have found my way home When the world outside falls all I need is you In your arms is where I'll stay
Kagome looked at me with that secretive, flirtatious smile from before and swayed her hips to the music.
"Kagome?" I questioned, a bit confused.
The strongest winds can't tear me from you With each passing breath you consume my soul I will sail through the eye of the storm Just to die in your arms
She put her arms around my neck and I just couldn't stop my hands from going around her waist, her barely clothed waist...
And as the tide shall rise under these stars tonight I'll hold on my heart till I find you again dreaming of a world far away
She leaned her head on my shoulder, as if she was tired and had a heavy burden on her own shoulders.
'Bad feeling, bad feeling, bad feeling!'
I tried tugging on her waist to get her to leave the stage but she just wouldn't budge.
"We're slow dancing in front of people, isn't that weird?"
She had read my mind, the little vixen.
The strongest winds can't tear me from you With each passing breath you consume my soul I will sail through the eye of the storm Just to die in your arms
I was wondering why the air between us was so tense and serious...
And as the tide shall rise under these stars tonight I'll hold on my heart till I find you again dreaming of a world far away
I saw those crazy girls eyeing me. They reminded me of Konan stating that I was too well built to be a business man. Her head came up and her beautiful eyes looked into mine.
"What happens if I think I love you?" she asked innocently.
I'll hold on my heart till I find you again dreaming of a world far away
I caught her lips with mine in a blissful kiss. The kiss I had been waiting for for two goddamn months. It was mine, mine, mine! All mine!
"I don't know," I answered truthfully, "I don't know."
Kagome's POV
I took InuYasha's arm and he helped me out of the car. Seeing so much black in one place was weird, but the cemetery's aura of death and stillness overcame that feeling with fear.
"Chill. Just dead people."
"Just dead people." I mimicked him sarcastically.
Trailing behind us, were Sango and Miroku, dressed in black like everybody else, and behind them the news crew.
"Why the hell is the news crew coming?" I demanded sternly.
"Something about you being popular and such a good example to haters because you were going to the burial of your kidnappers and stuff," Sango responded easily.
"Did you call them for publicity InuYasha." I growled impatiently.
"Maybe."
I punched him square in the nose.
"Take that for publicity." I growled.
I huffed and continued walking on my own.
"Here." said Miroku seriously, handing him a napkin.
"Thanks."
I saw him get up, no thanks to anybody else, and continued towards the burial. That looked like it hurt.
1 hour later
"So guys," I asked, looking from InuYasha to Sango, Miroku, and Konan in the back seat, "how did you save me?"
Sango and Miroku both quickly said they were nowhere near me having gone the wrong way. That left me with Konan and InuYasha, the only heroes so far.
"Well?"
"Uh… You see.. I… Uh… Konan?"
"Don't you pin this on me!" he yelled.
"Tell her about how we saved her!"
"Touchy subject." he explained.
"Oh and it isn't for me? I saw some girl shoot herself because she supposedly loved me!"
"I shot my brother!"
I rubbed my temples slowly.
"Never mind… Hey Sango. What's 'Cherry'? Sesshomaru gave me the keys to Cherry and I don't know what in the world-"
"He gave you the keys to his most expensive car, Cherry?"
-Uh... I don't own Inu & Co. The End.-
