Chapter 7- Reunion
:Inuyasha:
"Ok so you guys no the first song?" "Yupp" Inuyasha asked and they all answered from behind the stage. "Inuyasha.. how are you sure that she's going to be here?" Shippou asked worriedly. "I've been tracking her and her friends. I saw Kinai and Katsu buy the tickets. They were saying something about forcing her to come. And 'No matter what, they were a group and had to stick together. Especially with all their enemies.' Or something like that anyways."
"oh.." Shippou answered, looking nervously at his guitar. "Sorta reminds me of how we used to be. You know. One group lookin out for each other." Sango said, taking one last chance to tune her bass and adjust herself. "Yupp.." Inuyasha said as he heard the announcer introduce them as the other band walked off the stage. "Come on."
:kagome:
"Get her! She's the last one!" "Don't let her get away!" she heard their voices. She could practically feel them over her. She knew it was just her powers though. She was frightened. But she had gotten used to her powers reacting on her feelings, it was nothing new to her.
"We need that girl!" she gasped. She recognized that voice. 'oh no.. not here.' She thought as she pushed more people away.
:Inuyasha:
They had started and finished their first three songs. And through those three he had heard Shippous astonishing solo in two of those songs, Sangos' perfect back up vocals and vocal solo's along with her perfected bass playing, and Miroku beating his heart away on the drums as though he would never stop. But he, himself, still had not found kagome.
He had caught not a single glance of her. But that should have been expected, right? She was in the middle of a crowd full of maybe one hundred people, or more. Who knows where she could be.
But in between the bands' two last songs, the first one he had dedicated specially for her, he heard Sango and Shippou whispering. "Do you see her?" she asked. "no.." "Look over there –Sango pointed over to her right, closer to Shippou- You see the girl running? Im positive that's her!"
"We have to help her!" Shippou pleaded "We have one more song. I think she can make it. Its not a long song anyways. After its done we can go get her right away, ok?" Inuyasha asked "Ok.." Shippou said still a little unsure, and surprised that Inuyasha had not jumped off the stage and run off to go get her.
:kagome:
'oh kami no.. where is everybody?' she thought looking around frantically once more. Something white caught her eyes as she was doing so. 'no it cant be' she refused to listen to what her eyes told her, and kept moving.
As she began to move forward again the music made its way into her. Forcing her to remember all those things she worked so hard on pushing away.
Before she knew it she was running with an unknown strength in her. Tears were streaming down her face, and people seemed to now move out of the way for her. Instead of being shoved or pushed away by her.
Her powers were creating a barrier around her. so no one could get near her. Which is why she assumed that people where moving out of her way. But in reality they could not get near her at all.
In no time she was at the front of the crowd and suddenly her barrier broke. Tears were running steadily down her perfect face. She didn't even realize what she was doing until after it had all happened. It took her a few minutes to remember what she had run here for, but when she saw the white haired man walking off stage with his three friends… she remembered.
"I-Inuyasha!"
:Inuyasha:
There last song seemed to be going well, until he, himself, caught sight of her. she was running almost frantically. Tears making there way down her face. When suddenly a light blue light could be seen around her.
'Oh no' he thought knowing what might happen if she didn't snap out of it soon. Her aura was so powerful right now he could sense it from up on stage.
But when they had finished there song only a minute later, she was gone. He looked all over the crowd for her, but he couldn't find her.
He looked nervously at Shippou, taking in that he too was looking for his surrogate mother. "Shippou, come on. We'll get outa here and look for her." he whispered to the boy, taking his arm for a second and pulling him along.
Just as he was at the end of the stage the voice he had wanted to hear for so long screamed out to him.
"I-Inuyasha!"
They all turned around to see the girl right at the edge of the stage. But in the few seconds they took taking in that she was here, crying, and pleading for help, about five men had come out from behind her. It could all be seen in her eyes. She was in trouble. And Inuyasha hated for her to get hurt, mentally or physically. No one would hurt his kagome.
"Inuyasha! Wait!" he heard Miroku yell. But it was to late. He was already across the stage.
Just as one of the men put a hand on her arm he came down next to her. at first the man looked confused as to why one of the last bands members was here in front of him. But it all made sense once he fell back with a broken nose and bloody lip. He was here for the girl.. just as they were.
"You, how dare you! No one takes our pray! No one hits one of our members! And no one ever gets away from us!" one of the gang members yelled. "Well this girl is not your pray, I did just hit one of your members, and she is coming with me." "Yea to hell, you bastard!"
But that did it. That last sentence.. that was it. That broke all his sanity, and self control into tiny little pieces. Letting the demon in him show for once since he came to this era.
"Bastard.. am I?" he said. His hair was covering his eyes and the words he spoke were like venom from a snake. Some of the gang had thought it best to leave right then, but it was obvious the leader would not allow that. "Its one against five, do you really think you can win?"
"I know I can." Those last words were full of hate and built up rage. And the gang leader seemed to love it. Taking it all in before attempting to land a hit on the hanyou.
As the leader did so Inuyasha stood there. Stood there until the very last second, when he held up his hand and caught the mans fist. Stopping him dead in his tracks. The mans eyes narrowed at first, and then shot open as he yelled in pain and shock.
Inuyasha was crushing the mans hand in his own. And as he lifted his face a evil smirk could be seen. But that wasn't what shocked the man. What did surprise him to this extent was that Inuyasha's eyes had narrowed immensely and he had two purple streaks on his cheeks that had not been there before.
Even in this state Inuyasha was cautious, he made sure to lift his head only enough to let the man he was holding see him. And maybe kagome. He knew that she could tell what was happening. He heard her gasp and take a step back. But he also heard the sound of the young kitsune screaming her name as he ran over to the girl and hugged her.
Sango did pretty much the same and Miroku stood in front of the women and kitsune in protective mode once more. For the first time since the feudal era he felt the need to protect his friends.
"Inuyasha? Need any help?" "Not with this one…" he said his smirk never leaving his face as he eyed the man now on the ground clutching his hand.
As soon as the leader had hit the floor his comrades had knelt down to him and examined his wounds before standing. In an enraged anger they lunged forward, three for the man who had hurt their leader and two for the man protecting their pray.
"Move it!" they yelled at Miroku in an attempt to shove him out of the way. "I think you guys are going to be very sorry if you don't leave now." Miroku said not moving from his post. "does it look like we care!" a taller man said as the other one tried to punch Miroku.
As the second man ran forward, Miroku stood there waiting for the perfect timing. As the man was in mid swing Miroku pulled out a special pair of drumsticks from the hip of his belt.
These were no longer drumsticks but more weapons. Miroku had sharpened each of the ends of the sticks and placed a round wood cover on the tips to make it unnoticeable. But as soon as he pulled them out from there place at his hip he took off the covers and help one in each hand.
He moved forward by one step and spun around so that the wooden spear in his left hand was now embedded in the mans chest. Both Miroku and that man now facing the women.
The taller man who had set out for a hit on Miroku as well now had a hole in his chest too. Miroku's right hand had pulled forward and slammed into the taller man a few seconds after he got the other guy down.
Kagome was stunned at his new fighting style. But she suddenly remembered Inuyasha and how he had been attacked by three men at once. She looked over at him and noticed that he was fighting a lot more then just three or four men. It seemed that they had called for backup and Inuyasha was now bombarded by at least ten of them.
Another ten or so making there way over to where they all were. Kagome suddenly felt the hands that were around her disappear and found Sango and Shippou in a fighting stance. Ready for anything. 'But what were they going to fight with?' she thought
She was answered rather quickly as Sango stepped forward and threw some of her bass pick's at them. Shippou muttering something suddenly threw his arms out and a fire came from his hands mending into the flying pick's creating a new weapon. very similar to the flying star weapons of the Chinese warriors, the picks where now sharp, thin, deadly bits pointed metal flying towards the enemy.
Each hitting there target right on the dot. Because of how thin each of them were they were able to go through the men. In through the chest and out the back. Curving back towards Sango, Shippou and herself. She began to get nervous thinking now they were going to get hit. But Sango had caught them all. And wondering how she managed to catch them and not get her hands cut up she looked over at her friend and just now noticed her gloves.
They were made of a material she had never seen before. It was thin but obviously strong. And they looked like leather biker gloves. The fingers were each cut off so that they stopped right below the first bending point. But the gloves were covering a thin layer of fishnet gloves that were covering her fingers and a bit of her wrists. Obviously made of the same material just in a thinner amount. As soon as Sango had caught her weapons she placed them in a pocket of her belt.
"Ah!" the yell could be heard from all directions. But she recognized it right away. 'Inuyasha.. im coming!' she thought as she ran off to where he was.
:Inuyasha .. again:
He had been doing pretty good on his own for a while but just recently he had been stabbed by two or more of the gang members. Their knives had dug deep into his flesh and cut long gashes across his skin. The pain wasn't too bad, but the knives seemed to have had some poison on them. Making it harder for him to move.
Suddenly a rush of pain was sent through his body. Like lightning through water, the feeling of it was electrifying. He felt as though all of his energy had returned to him and then as quick as it had come, it all vanished. All of it. Not a speck left. He had yelled in a moment of pure agony, he had screamed. Wishing for someone to help him for the first time since he was a young boy. Still living with his mother.
But he was stronger then that now. He was much older and much more confident in himself. He had learned to trust and even to love. And that.. was all he needed.
The trust that his friends would come for him if he called for them, and the love to keep him going. To keep him fighting for what he wanted.
It was strange but he felt a sense of calmness coming over him. He was now crouching on his knees, in the same stance as when he had turned into a full demon when battling Sesshomaru.
His hair once again covering his eyes that were now closed. His hands in-between his knees and on the floor. The wind blowing his hair, elegantly, across his shoulders.
The last couple of men who had managed to survive through the fight thought of this as their last chance. The perfect chance to kill the man who had injured their leader once and for all.
They all lunged at him various weapons in their grip. Preparing to slash through Inuyasha's very body. But he had other ideas.
As they neared him, from all directions, he jumped up. The men closest to him now ramming into each other with their weapons. Falling to the floor either dead or very badly wounded.
Inuyasha landed rather gracefully when he smelt her. The smell he had longed to see for months, months that seemed like an eternity for the heart broke hanyou. The thought of her coming here, to where he was fighting with these people gave him an energy boost. He couldn't look weak in front of the woman he loved. And he had to be strong to protect her from these monsters.
"Inuyasha! Are you ok?" she had come from in back of him, now clutching onto his shoulders, as though she were trying to hug him but not sure if she should. "Im fine kagome. Just stand back, I'll handle these assholes." He answered running forward and slicing at the men with his claws.
( you think I should re-rate this story? Its getting rather gruesome.. o wells. I might have the rating go up later anyways.. –winkwink- )
Just as he had left her a man grabbed her and covered her mouth with his hand. He must have been sneaking through the crowd following her in an attempt to capture her.
She tried to scream but the mans hand was preventing any noticeable noises from coming out of her mouth. Only a few grunts and muffled screams could be heard, but only by him. The noises were not loud enough for anyone but her capture to hear.
She was desperate, trying everything she could think of to get out of his grip. She had kicked, wiggled, squirmed, wrestled, and kicked some more. But nothing had proven victorious for the girl.
She could see more of them in the distance. He was undoubtedly bringing her to them. And in one last desperate attempt to get free she turned her head. Very suddenly and sharply. The mans hand was not prepared for such a movement and as such he lost a firm grip on her mouth. She bit his hand when he tried to replace it. And in his moment of shock and pain his grip loosened on her and she was able to get away from him.
"Inuyasha!" she yelled as she ran ahead.
He undoubtedly heard her, and was coming to save her. she knew it. He always did. But instead she came face to face with Miroku. Almost sliding right into him.
"Miroku? Where's Inuyasha?" "The long version or short one?" "short" she answered as she began to run once more, following her friend back to the stage area. "Hmm.. short version.. he was fighting and got stabbed by poisonous knives that eventually paralyzed him. Don't worry I already checked on him. He's fine besides that. And seemed to have held out long enough to beat all of the men that were attacking him. But he did not have enough strength after that, and so he fainted. He's with Sango, Shippou and Kirara now."
"oh.. I thought I said the short version?" "haha very funny. But this is important. We have to get out of here." "No shit… wait but what about my friends?" "Oh don't worry about them. While you ran off to go find Inuyasha we found where they were keeping your friends. It was only a few rows back and they were only being held their by five men. I still believe that the hardest part about retrieving them was the ropes they were tied in. Those men sure do know how to tie a knot."
It only took a couple more minutes and Miroku and Kagome had made it out of the building. They were now in the parking lot making there way towards a limo that Shippou had called once they got out of the building.
:later that day:
at Inuyasha's house-
All wounds, scrapes, cuts, and fractures had been long since taken care of. Miroku and Shippou had taken Inuyasha into his room and did all they could for him. As of now the hanyou was sleeping, most likely resting as his body subconsciously fought of the poison for him.
Sango only had a few minor cuts and scratches, she took care of those herself. Miroku was a little more battered up.
He had a cut on his cheek from where a knife had just grazed him. A bruise right above that, right on his cheek bone from a punch he had received early on in the fight. One of his fingers had been broken from when he had punched one of the men. He also was walking with a limp from a gash in his leg, that had been caused by a broken pipe one of the men had found and used as a weapon.
Shippou was probably in the best shape out of them all. He only suffered from a few tiny cuts and bruises he had received from a few men in the fight. The enemy did not post him as much of a threat and as such left him alone pretty much, unless he got in their way.
Kirara had some cuts as well, some deeper then others but not to bad. Right now she was sleeping on Sangos lap while her wounds healed.
Kinai and Katsu had been beaten pretty badly compared to Sango and Shippou. They each had a cut or two on their face, along with many bruises and sore spots from being hit with various objects. Kinais' wrist had been broken when he had first gotten captured and had begun struggling to get away. And he also had a few wounds on his arms and chest from being cut up with the mens' knives 'for fun' they had said.
Katsu also suffered from the same abusive knives upon his chest. His knuckles were very bloody when they had first found him, he had obviously made a very large protest in being taken away. His ankle was also sprained it had seemed. But all this would heal in time.
Mai and Akina had not been hurt that badly. They suffered a few cuts and scrapes much like Sango. Though Mai had received a slap many times in trying to defend Akina from the men, and now her cheek was red. Akina also seemed a little jumpy when ever any one, specifically males, would come up to her. So when Miroku and Shippou had come to get them she was hesitant to come. But they eventually got her to believe that they were helping her. She still didn't let them get to close to her.
Sango was sitting on the couch with Kirara. Mai and Akina were sitting on the stools of the kitchen table, the kitchen and the living room were connected. Kinai and Katsu were sitting on the floor in the living room near Mai and Akina. Kagome was leaning in the doorway of the living room near the couch Sango was on.
When Miroku and Shippou came out of the bed room Inuyasha was in they said he would be ok, and that he just needed some rest. Kagome sighed in relief as Shippou ran over to her and hugged her.
"Kagome! I missed you so much!" he said as she hugged him back. "Yea we all did." Miroku said as he sat down next to Sango and patted Kirara on the head.
"Wait.. wait a minute.. Shippou?" "hmm?" he answered from in her arms. "Why are you so tall? And where's your tail?" "Before we came here we had to prepare for what we would see, and how we would look. I couldn't walk around with a tail and being about the height of a human two year old. So I had to learn a disguising spell. Me Kaede and Miroku all made necklaces for Inuyasha and Kirara, to disguise them. That's why Inuyasha's got human ears and Kiraras' only got one tail."
"Oh" Kagome answered her grip loosening on the young kitsune who looked up in confusion. "M-maybe we should let kagome rest now." Sango suggested "Yes. She can sleep in the guest room and we can pull out the couch and put two futons on the floor for her friends." Miroku suggested and Sango took kagome into the guest room, that was conveniently right next to Inuyasha's.
:with Sango and kagome:
Sango closed the door as kagome looked around the room. "Are you ok?" "Hu?... Oh me? I'm fine Sango, why?" "I don't know.. you just seem a little different is all." "Oh, well im really ok." "Good. I'm so happy to see you!" Sango said as she gave her friend a hug. Kagome giggled forgetting everything for a moment as she and Sango caught up on things.
"Well I'll leave you alone now. You need to rest. We'll see you in the morning.. Oh! And you might wanna watch out for Shippou.. he's actually become quite the early bird." Sango said, smiling, as she walked out the door.
Kagome fell back on her bed and began to think of all the things that had happened today.
:Sango and Miroku:
"Alright, well the beds are ready. The TV's over there along with the remote. And movies are on the rack against the wall, with the CD's that can be played in the DVD player. Make your selves at home I have a feeling you might be here a while." "Ok, thank you." Mai answered back for them all "Sango would you come with me for a minute." He nodded to Mai and asked Sango as she went to follow him.
"What is it Miroku?" "Is it just me or does Kagome seem different?" he scratched his head and leaned against his doorframe. "Well of course she's going to be different Miroku, its been months since the last time she saw all of us. And under the circumstances she's most likely a little shaken up."
"Yes, I suppose your right. It's just I would have expected her to at least call her mother and tell her of what had happened. At least the part with us coming back. She's always had a strong relationship with her family." "We'll have to ask her about that in the morning, but as of now goodnight Miroku." "Goodnight lady Sango."
:Kagome:
It had been hours since Sango had left her in this room. And since then she had not gotten one minute of sleep. She had been to busy thinking of today's events to get any sleep. It felt as though someone had gone into her brain and scrambled everything up.
She was confused. She knew that she was happy to see them all again, but why had they waited so long to make themselves known to her. they must have been here a while since they had time to form a band and become good enough to get a spot in a concert.
They had time to find the perfect house for them all, and then make enough money to buy that house and the furniture within it. But now.. after months of pain for her they finally came out of their hiding.
After months of changing herself so that she wouldn't have to remember her old life and the man she loved, they come back.. bringing all those memories along with them.
She was confused.. she was happy… she was alone and yet not alone… she was.. in love..
