As soon as the turned the corner, Kagome and Inuyasha had heard the screaming of people inside of Emi's house.
"The little Gothic whores will fuck up our reputation!"
"Oh, shut up, Kagome just lost her family! I just lost my sister!"
"THEY'RE FUCKING SATANISTS! ONE WAS ENOUGH!"
Kagome's eyes were widening with tears. She backed up, but accidentally ran into Inuyasha. She turned around as Inuyasha pushed her towards the other side of the street. "Where are you taking me?" she asked, her voice breaking a little bit.
'Home.'
"But what about Emi and Suichi? They might get hurt by her dad.." She trailed off, glancing back at the house, the screaming.
'They'll come, too.'
She sighed and nodded. "But if they aren't there in half an hour, we come and look for them. Got it, dog-boy?" she asked, tugging on a forelock. He narrowed his eyes at her, but nodded.
They walked on for another two blocks, screaming fading, when Inuyasha turned Kagome onto another street, the houses larger, obviously much more expensive. She turned her head over her shoulder to raise an eyebrow at her "kidnapper." "You live back here?" she asked curiously. He gave her a small smile and nodded, then jerked his head towards the end of the street. The largest, grandest house on the street, or, the largest, grandest house for blocks.
"You've gotta be shitting me." She stopped dead in her tracks. "That's where you live!" He nodded slowly. "Oh my fucking Gods..."
Three stories. Balconies on two stories. Gated fence. Tended garden. Kagome's mind was processing on slow motion.
"Inuyasha, are you a mafia crimelord or something? Or some kind of assassin?" she asked him in a half serious, half sarcastic tone. He rolled his eyes and grinned, while pushing her onwards.
Emi stopped suddenly on the sidewalk around the corner from her house, pulling Suichi back with her.
"He's home, and he's drunk. I can't go there." Her ears were flat against her head, a whimper making it's way from her.
His eyes widened. "What about Kagome?"
"She was with Inuyasha. You really think he'd let her go home with this going on?"
He nodded. "We'll have to past there, though, since Kagome and Inuyasha are probably at my house waiting for us." He paused. "Are we really that predictable, that they know we'll run there?" Emi laughed quietly and nodded. "C'mon, sooner we get movin', sooner we get past my house and the fucktard inside. I think if we sprinted around it, though, we'd be able to avoid any contact with my dad. Sound good?" she asked. He nodded shortly, and they took off around the corner.
How couldn't they hear him?
How couldn't they sense him?
How could they not smell him?
Suichi had been the one to run into Emi's drunken, enraged father. He fell back with a yelp and a dull thud onto the concrete. Emi had gone right past him without a glance, but at Suichi's yelp, she turned around hastily. A sudden wind picked up, more like a gust, thrashing Emi's clothing and hair around. Clouds formed overhead, and rain came pelting down.
"Fucking bitch, you're here with the mutt...why does he smell like you, whore?" her father asked, his head slowly turning to his cursed daughter.
"Well, skank?"
Her eyes flashed angrily with lightning. "I'm no whore, you drunken fuckface. Leave us the Hell alone and go sober up."
He narrowed his eyes instantly at the insult. "You're not going to go sleeping around like your cousin does," he growled, not noticing as Suichi bolted out of his line of vision for a moment, but was suddenly in front of Emi.
"Leave her alone, Mayonaka-san. We haven't done anything to dishonor your name." His face was somewhat calm, but there was evident anger in his eyes. "This is none of your business, scum," he sneered, face contorted in anger. Suichi growled, and felt his hair stand on end, not only from anger, but something else...static.
Emi's father struck out at the inuhanyou with a bolt of lightning, sending him flying into a tree. Emi eyes widened with pure hatred and anger, electricity beginning to crackle around her. Suddenly, the wind calmed, the torrents of rain ceased, everything was eerily still, where out of seemingly nowhere...
An orb surrounded Emi, blinding any watching, and a great amount of energy burst from her aura as she cried "GENWAKU DENKOU!" It collided with her father, pushing him deep into the ground, and a deafening crack burst through the area. When dust cleared, Emi's father was in the center of a crater 14 meters in diameter, neighbors were peering from their windows with fright, and the two young hanyou were nowhere in sight.
Kagome and Inuyasha jumped at the loud crack several minutes after they had entered Inuyasha's house, and the two of them rushed outside to see what looked like a small bomb going off near Emi's house. Kagome's eyes widened and she made a move to run for the house, but Inuyasha grabbed her shoulder. She turned in anger, but saw he was looking ot the sky. She followed his molten gold gaze, and gasped. A small, black cloud was zooming from the house, towards them at high speed. Within moments, Emi stepped off, dragging Suichi with her, and the cloud dissipated. Inuyasha's breath caught as he saw his cousin unconscious, and then backed away, Kagome in tow, as he caught Emi's scent. She was in full Demon mode. Emi's eyes were white, with golden lightning-bolt pupils, two jagged purple marks formed over her cheekbones towards the center of her face. She went past Inuyasha and Kagome, not saying a word, into the house and collapsed after pushing Suichi onto the sofa, passing out as well.
Kagome and Inuyasha ran in after them, each bandaging up their cousin respectfully. When they completed their tasks, Kagome and Inuyasha sighed in unison and left the room.
A scream followed their departure.
(A/N: I had to rewrite this chapter about 3 times before it sounded right to me. Now, for all of you wondering 'Jeez, Suichi's a fucking weakling,' think of this:
The only reason Inuyasha defeated Hiten and Manten in the series is because he had Tetsusaiga's sheath. Well, Suichi didn't. No protection, and lightning's a little too fast to dodge. That's my explaination. He's not weak, he was just overpowered by Emi's father, but since Emi's half storm youkai, it'd be fitting that she'd be able to do some damage to her own father, hm?
inuyashaaddicted: I love you too, Krysie. :D (Krysie is one of my best friends and an excellent person to draw inspiration from. Though I don't know how exactly I get inspiration from her, but that's not the point! She rocks, so I get to talk about her here all I bloody want to. So nyah)
Kasatka: This chapter wasn't quite as cute as the last one was, but...yeah...o-O; Thanks for the review.
Bitter042: I'll get into it soon, I'm thinking either next chapter or the one after that. Major Kikyou bashing coming up. MAJOR. -hatehatehatehate-
Also, I'd like to add a few things here.
1) I'd like to recieve at least 3 reviews before I post the next chapter (Krysie, I mean 3 different people, don't go getting ideas about reviewing three times). C'mon, Emily wants some loooove! ;-; Just three measly reviews.
2) I'd like to ask some of you to keep your fingers crossed. I'm going into group therapy in a week for the first time (if you really want to know, go to my website on my profile, and go to my journal) and I'm really, really nervous. It took me long enough to open up to the school counselor about this, now I have to with people I've never even seen before...So please hope for the best that I can get rid of my little...issue. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
And I'm now ending all of my chapters with lyrics from the song I listened to while typing this. :D And it's 2:45 AM, so lemme alone here...I've been drinking a lot of Coke - which is better than Pepsi, mind you - so I have a big caffiene/sugar thing going on right now. Ah, another late night in Emily's world.
Oh how wrong we were to thing that immortalilty meant never dying...
