Cupids Arrow
Chapter 6- Mika
Sango paled and tried to calm her breath as she leaned over peeking out to see if there was another person there. She saw the shadow of a man pass over her hiding spot. Sango pulled her head back as fast as she could letting out a gasp. She slapped a hand over her mouth and pressed herself to the crates wall. Her heart was speeding a mile per hour.
She could only hope Kagome was hiding.
Kagome jumped at the sound of the gate moving and footsteps. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and the only hiding place near her was Sango's but she couldn't risk the man seeing her run to it. Then her and Sango would both be in danger.
All she could do was press herself against the shadows pretending she was invisible. Sango could easily make herself invisible to the attacker, but Kagome? Kagome didn't have any powers yet so she couldn't conduct an invisible spell.
The footsteps where getting louder and louder. Kagome held her breath and watched carefully until she saw a man come into the clearing. She couldn't see his face but it looked like he had muscles.
Kagome's heart started speeding. She felt a chill run down her back. The man stopped in front of Sango's hiding place and looked inside. She did the only thing she could to save Sango. She jumped out of the shadows and tackled the man.
Inuyasha pointed to the horde of police officers around an alley way. He grabbed Miroku's arm and ran over to them. "What's going on?" He asked one. "Some lady called us saying she heard two young girls running down the street screaming bloody murder with a man chasing them. We're patrolling the area now."
Miroku grabbed Inuyasha's arm. "It's the girls." He said sternly. Inuyasha nodded at him. "Can you locate them?" He asked Miroku as they walked away from the police officers. Miroku closed his eyes for a moment then paled and shot his eyes open. "They where attacked by a man posing as a homeless man. Then as they where backed up into an alley way someone attacked the man chasing them. The new man started to chase them."
Inuyasha tensed. "Where are they now?" he asked. Miroku closed his eyes for a moment. "I'm seeing Sango pressed up against something... she looks over her shoulder then gasps and covers her mouth... Kagome's no where near... she's panicking... then looks out again and sees something... I can't see where she is... no wait... THE PIER!"
Inuyasha nodded and they took off towards the pier as fast as they could run.
The man wasn't fazed by the tackle. He rolled over and pinned Kagome to the ground sitting on her. "G-get off me! AAAAAAHHHHH!"
She looked over and saw Sango running towards her. "Sango run! Get Inuyasha and Miroku! Quick!" Sango paused for a moment debating weather or not to leave her best friend. "You still can't attack him yet! I'm not hurt!" The man shot his head over at Sango. "HURRY SANGO RUN!" Sango nodded and began to run when a low growl was heard in a box. She froze and turned slowly seeing two Dover men pinchers start to walk to her slowly.
"I wouldn't move if I where you." The man said coolly. "They'll attack if you try to run." Kagome glared at the man. "Their yours?" She asked. He shook his head. "No... they belong to the guard who fell asleep." he said.
Kagome just now got a good look at his face. He had deep sky blue eyes and long black hair pulled up into a ponytail. Sango screamed as loud as she could.
"Sango!" Miroku called from the other side of the fence. "Sango don't move!" Inuyasha glared at the man on Kagome. "Dang pixie I can't leave you alone at all can I? Look what you've gotten yourself into now..."
Kagome turned her head at Inuyasha. "I sware I'm going to kill you, you asshole!" Inuyasha shook his head slowly. "Ah ah ah, temper temper pixie girl. You seem to think I'm the one inside the gate of hell."
"My names Kagome! I'll put you in here next!" she hissed and began to struggle. The man ontop of her brought her wrist to her other one then grabbed them both in his large hands. Her stroked her cheek gently. "Ssshhh, sit still and don't do anything! Those dogs are trained to attack any and everyone who comes in here. I chased you in here to warn you!" he said.
Kagome glared at him. "And before that! Why did you chase us after you beet up that attacker!" He stared at her deeply in her eyes. "To see if you where okay!" Kagome got one of her wrists free. "See if I'm okay my ass!" she said fastly and slapped him right acrossed his face.
The dogs turned to stare at the man before running at him snarling and barking. They tackled him off Kagome. "Sango run!" Miroku yelled. "Hey pixie it would be smart to run too ya know!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome. "I am seriously going to murder you!" Kagome shouted at him as she took off with Sango.
The man kicked off the dogs. The two dogs then turned to Kagome and Sango and took off after them. "KKKYYYYAAAAA!" they screamed. Miroku and Inuyasha slipped through the gates and ran in front of the girls.
"Ready Miroku?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku nodded. The two guys took a step foreword and Miroku pulled out his staff then spun it before him. The staff light up and created a plat form. Inuyasha jumped on it and made a motion to his side that one would think he had a invisible sword on him.
A light appeared in his hands and took the form of a sword as the platform moved him to the dogs. (A/N: this is hard to explain... think of Kuabara's sword from Yu yu Hakusho....and sorry I'm not a big fan of that show so I don't know how to spell his name.) He made a sideways slash at the air and a light flew out from his sword flying at the dogs then split in two and wrapped around the poor animals tying them up like it was rope.
Kagome and Sango where backed up against a wall on the ground sobbing to each other. Miroku ran over to Sango and the platform Inuyasha was on disappeared under his feet making him fall to the ground. "Damnit..." he growled then slowly walked over to the girls.
They where hugging each other and sobbing uncontrollably. Miroku broke Sango away from Kagome and hugged her tightly. "Ssshhh Sango." He said quietly as he stroked her hair. "It's okay now, it's okay." Sango sobbed into him and wrapped her arms around him still shooken up.
Inuyasha kneeled next to Kagome who was hugging her knees and sobbing. "Hey... hey pix- I mean ... hey stop crying! I hate it when girls cry!" he frowned. Kagome looked up at him from her knees and glared at him. "You jerk!" she yelled pushing him over. "You where going to leave me in here with the dogs weren't you ass hole!" She sat on his chest and was about to punch him when he grabbed her wrist and twisted it then rolled over ontop of her. "What was that pixie girl?" he asked.
Kagome glared at him and shoved him off with her free hand. The man from before walked over slowly and held a hand out to her. "My names Kouga." He said then glared at Inuyasha growling deeply.
Inuyasha glared at him and growled also. "We know who you are..." he said acidly.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha and took Kouga's hand. "Thanks for saving us back in the alley." she said. Kouga smiled at her and didn't let go of her hand. "No problem. You're not from around here are you?" he asked. She shook her head. "No where near here." she smiled.
Inuyasha glared at them and rolled over. "Uh... this is making me sick!" he mumbled so no one could hear him. "Hey lover boy, her hand is kinda attached to her arm!" he growled.
Kouga ignored him. "You're quite strong you know that?" then he looked at Inuyasha and grinned then wrapped his arm around Kagome's waste pulling her close to him. Kagome flustered. "Are you jealous or something mutt?" he asked grinning.
Inuyasha jumped up. "W-why would I be jealous of that stupid pixie!" he said defensively. Kagome glared at him and pulled away from Kouga. "What was that!" she yelled. "I am not a pixie!" she shouted and tackled Inuyasha to the ground again.
Once Sango's sobs had calmed down Miroku gently tried to pull away from her but Sango wouldn't let go. She said something into his robe and held tighter. "What was that?" he asked as he pulled some hair behind her ear. "Don't leave me!" she said scared out of her mind.
Miroku smiled gently and set his head ontop of hers. "I won't leave you Sango dear I promise." Sango nodded slowly. "Mhmm..." she said quietly and slowly felt herself melting into his warmth. Between Miroku's warmth, him stroking her hair and whispering soft promises into her ear Sango felt herself being lulled to sleep.
Miroku stood up carrying Sango bridle style. She cuddled up to him for warmth, fast asleep. Kagome stopped her Inuyasha pumbling for a moment to coo at the cute sight. "Aweeee." she whispered. "Let's get her home." she smiled. Inuyasha rolled over and pinned her down. "Ass!" she hissed at him.
Kouga walked over and tried to pull Inuyasha away. "Get of her mutt!" Kouga glared. "Stay out of it wolf!" The two wrestled on the ground for a few moments until Miroku spoke up. "Hey! Come on let's go to my house, Sango can't sleep at Inuyasha's the smell is intoxicating." He heard Kagome snort. "Got that right!" she laughed.
Kouga gasped and looked at Inuyasha. "She's been to your house! You damn mutt!" he yelled and punched Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha kicked him in the stomach making Kouga topple over. "Damnit it's not what you think you pervert! She came to me!" Kouga's eyes widened. "Not like that!" Kagome and Inuyasha said a the same time.
"I would never do anything like that with that asshole!" Kagome hissed. Inuyasha glared at her and growled. "And like I would ever think of touching you!" He pretended to gag. Kagome kicked his side. "You where sitting on me a few seconds ago!" she tried not to yell. "You where on me too!" Kagome glared at him.
"Basturd!"
"Bitch!"
"Ass!"
"Slut!"
"Man-whore!"
"Hooters employee of the month!"
"Mutt!"
"Wench!"
"Jerk!"
"...Bitch!"
"Repeats I win!"
"Damnit!"
(A/N: Who else has noticed I use the repeats game a lot? Hmm? Te he!)
Inuyasha growled as he glared at her. Miroku sighed. "Both of you shut up! We're going to my house!" he said. Kagome blinked. "Your house?" she asked. Miroku nodded. "I always vacation here so I bought I house."
Inuyasha snorted. "House? It's a freaking mansion!" Kagome sent Miroku a weak glare. "You're rich on Earth too?"
Kouga stared at them. "What?" he asked. "I'm lost..." Inuyasha sighed. "You remember that girl who tried to hook you up with Kikyou?"
"Yeah and then you stole her from me."
"You can have her back I broke up with that freak a few days ago."
"That's okay she was like a stalker."
"Tell me about it..." Inuyasha sighed.
"Go on..." Kouga urged.
"Yeah well that little pixie or something angel what ever it was, Kagome and Sango here are the same thing."
Kouga crossed his arms. "I could see that!" he protested. "No you couldn't" Inuyasha laughed. Kouga rolled his eyes and looked at his watch. "Damn... I'm gonna be late for my night job... catch you later Kags." Kouga grinned and ran away.
Kagome stood there dumbfounded. "Kags? Who the heck calls me Kags?" she asked. "Apparently Kouga does." Inuyasha growled. Miroku sighed. "You guys! House? Remember? I can't hold her forever!" Miroku whined.
"Oh suck it up monk." Inuyasha said walking out of the gates. "What about the dogs?" Kagome asked following him. "The spell will wear off sooner or later." he shrugged. "Wait a minute..." Kagome started. "That's right you had angel magic, I haven't seen that sword move for years now... how do you know how to do it?" she asked. "None of your business!" he snapped. Miroku leaned over to Kagome and whispered. "I'll tell you later!"
"I heard that!" Inuyasha snapped. "What? I said nothing!" Miroku laughed.
"What I don't get is why Sango cuddled up to Miroku like that..." Inuyasha mumbled. Kagome sighed and looked over to the still sleeping Sango in Miroku's bed. He had tucked her in and left for some drinks earlier after they convinced him he wasn't allowed in the room with her alone.
"Sango's greatest fear is dogs." Kagome sighed. "Ever since we where kids it's always been dogs. She never liked the cuddly fur ball like pets we have up there so she got a puppy and I don't know what happened but she's been scared stiff of them ever since. During the training one time when she had to interact with the Earth pet's she was sent home shaking badly and mumbling something over and over again, they had to make her breath with a spell. She's probably been traumatized the poor girl. Miroku just happened to be the closest thing that offered her protection, warmth, and love. She's tough and all but inside when she's scared senseless like that she just needs to be comforted. Even if it's by the man whose practically stalked her for the past three...four years."
Miroku dropped the cans of pop onto the floor staring at them. "Traumatized!?" he asked in bewilderment. Inuyasha's eyes widened at the spilled pop cans on the floor.
"Hey! You shook them up! Now it's gonna taste flat!" he growled and grabbed a can off the floor then opened it over Miroku's head. Miroku jumped out of the way pushing the can over Inuyasha's head. The got into a fight over the can of pop which eventually stopped fizzing over.
Kagome picked up a can of pop that rolled her way and shook it up. She sneaked up behind Inuyasha and winked at Miroku to tell him not to make any notice to her. She held the can of Coke over his head and opened it.
Inuyasha tensed, frozen at the cold sugary beverage on his head. It stopped fizzing and Kagome turned the can upside down but before any of the contents could fall on him, Inuyasha turned around and grabbed it from her hands then emptied it on her. "Ahhhhh! Dangit you made me sticky Inuyasha!"
He grinned. "I'm already sticky who cares." And to prove his point he opened the last can over her head. She planted her hands firmly on his chest and pushed him backwards then grabbed the bottle of water Miroku had gotten for Sango and opened it.
Inuyasha grabbed it from her hand and threw half of it on her. "Kya!" she screamed. "That's Flipping cold you jerk!"
"You where going to throw it on me!"
"So!"
"So!? You get what you deserve!"
"If I get what I deserve then GIMMIE a towel!"
"Nah, let's let you catch a cold."
"Angel's can't catch colds idiot!"
"Then get the flu!"
"I'M IMMUNE!"
"THE PNEUMONIA!"
"ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING!? I CAN'T GET SICK! DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT OR SAY IT IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "No, but you can spell pixie can't you?" Kagome jumped on him and pulled his hair tightly in her hands. "Ow! Owowowowowow! Leggo!"
"Make me, worm!" Inuyasha sneered at her.
"That's not very Angel like now is it, Pixie?" Kagome pulled his hair harder.
"I'll be sure to pair you up with a Schizophrenic girl who makes you stare at her like you're in a trance!" Miroku bursted out laughing at this. Inuyasha stared at her for a few moments. He stared at her long and hard only blinking once. "What? See something you like?" she asked.
Miroku snorted. "H-He' doesn't know what a Schizopheriac is!" he laughed. Kagome gave Inuyasha a sly look.
"Ooohhh! So that's it! Let me explain to those who don't know their psychological dysfunctions. Schizophrenia is when you see and or hear things no one else sees and or hears. Don't worry though Inu, I'll make sure she only sees you!" and to add to her speech she pinched his cheek like a little baby and cooed like a aunt or grandmother. "Whaz da matter?" she asked. "Cat got your tongue?"
Miroku snorted again. "More like pixie..." he mumbled. Kagome sent him a glare.
"You want to be paired up too?" she asked. Miroku paled and shook his head then ran over to Sango.
"I got my match right here!" he laughed.
Kagome turned to Inuyasha who was still staring at her. "What is it!" she snapped, getting a little irritated. If he didn't wake up out of his stare soon she would throw the rest of the water on him. Well, even if he did wake up she'd still do it anyways.
"Hufmph." he mumbled. Kagome leaned down to his face and noticed it was slightly pale.
"What? Why are you just sitting there? Say something idiot!" she gently smacked his cheek. He didn't even flinch.
"Huuumphfuh." he mumbled. His lips barley moved. Inuyasha just sat there, continuing to stare at her.
"What is it!" she demanded and leaned foreword to him even more. She leaned an ear close to his lips. "Can you speak up? I can't understand you." she said sarcastically.
"You're sitting on me." he said as if he was in a trance.
Kagome sat up then climbed off him. His eyes followed her with each movement she made. "Now will you stop staring?" she asked, hand on hips. He continued to stare. "I order you to stop staring!" she commanded.
As if on cue Inuyasha snapped to life jumping up. "Ow my head!" he cried. "What the hell did you do to me pixie!" he demanded. Kagome tilted her head to the side.
"What do you mean? You just kept staring at me!" she said.
Wohoo! I'm back! Yes yes yes yes! Guess whose back, back again! I am back! Tell a friend! I can't believe they locked me up like that! How dare they! If I could control your movement I'd walk right up to Midoriko and smack her right upside her head!
Kagome jumped. "Did you hear that?" she asked. Miroku snorted.
"That's funny!" he laughed. "I get it! Now you're schizophrenic!" he laughed as he sat down on Sango's bed next to her he chuckled a bit more shaking his head.
I'd smack him too!
"What do you mean?" she asked him.
Helllllllo! Earth to Kagome! You're sitting on it, girl! Look at that guy with the long silver hair! Inuyasha! Yeah, see him? Uh huh! That's why!
"See! It spoke again!" Kaogme exclaimed looking around slowly then jumped as it spoke again.
Ah ha ha ha! You've lost it! Okay okay! Guess who I am! No really guess! I'm not quite your conscious but I'm that other annoying little voice and my name is....?
"Mika..." Kagome mumbled. Inuyasha's ears perked. (A/N: yes he has his ears, remember he had a hat to cover them when he broke up with Kikyou?)
"Mika?" he asked.
Ding ding ding! Congratulations Kag! You've foooound a smart one! That's 1 point on the IQ test so far!
"Mika I remember!" Kagome said happily.
"Who the hell is Mika?" Inuyasha asked.
Take one guess!
"Is it one of your Pixie friends?" Inuyasha asked grinning slightly.
...okay dog boy if you can't tell I'm giving you the one finger salute! Yeap that's right! I'm FLIPPING YOU OFF!
Kagome glared at him and flipped him off. He held his hands up and pretended to shake like he was scared. "Mika is my uh you could call her a 'supervisor'. Every Angel has one. We can only hear them unless we let their voice out."
LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! Come on Kag! I didn't mean it when I told you to push him off the sidewalk! Well I kinda did... but that's not the point! I didn't know there would be fluids under it! Let me out pleeeeeeeeeeease! I won't get taken away again I PROMISE!!!!!
Inuyasha snorted. "I know what it is!"
Kagome stared at him. "How?" she asked.
He glared at her and said sharply. "None of your business." then he grinned. "Let's see what Mika has to say. Come on, let her out."
Kagome glared at him for a moment then took in a deep breath. Debating wheatear or not to let her out.
Hey! I'm staring at your thoughts right now missy! I can see them! Yeah that's right I can SEE them! LET ME OUT DAMNIT!
"No." She let out a unknown held in breath.
WHAT!?!?!
Miroku chuckled. "Kagome! You have to have your powers in order for your supervisor to come out." he said about to lay down with Sango but Kagome sent him a warning glare, sparks included.
"That's right..." she said slowly. "But... how?" she asked.
Miroku shrugged. "My guess is when you told him you where going to pair him up with a schizophrenic girl. Technically, that's a first step in matching him up. So that probably gave you your powers. Then when you added that would make him stare at her, he stared at you. It was a spell I'm guessing. Angel's are, in a sense schizophrenics if you think about it. We can hear voices no one else can."
Ding ding Ding! You've got yourself another smart one!
"But if we get our powers removed permanently and turned into a human they get reborn as a Angel with no memories or being a supervisor, right?"
He nodded. "Yeah, but until then their just voices that can be tuned out."
Tuned out? TUNED OUT!? WHAT THE HECK! He makes it sound like I'm just a-
Kagome covered one of her ears. "How do I tune her out? She's gotten talkative..."
Miroku chuckled. "You should know how. It's hard to explain so just concentrate on her shutting up." Inuyasha glared at the wall for a good amount of time, just glaring nothing more.
Oh no you don't Kagome! If you tune me out I sware I'll-ARRRGGGHHHHHH!
Kagome smiled. "All done."
A/N: this is getting long so I'll end it there. She now has her powers back! I hope I didn't confuse you with the explaining on this chapter... also Mika means 'new moon' I just looked it up in a baby name website! D You will see Mika later but Kagome is going to try and make sure she's quiet, she's annoying, isn't she? I really don't want to end it here but it's 9 pages long... I hope that filled you up!
Next chapter is coming soon!
Review!
