Chapter 6: Return From The Mall
After a very long day of shopping at the mall, the gang returned to Kagome's house. They were carrying multiply bags, which was not suprising to Jack. Girls usually bought a lot of stuff if they went out shopping at the mall. Miroku, Jack, and InuYasha got stuck carrying all the bags, which were mostly loaded with all of the girl's things. Only two bags were not loaded with their things. One bag was loaded with candy for Shippo. The second bag was loaded with all sorts of varieties of Instant Noodles for InuYasha.
On the way back from the mall, Miroku crossed the street again without looking. This time when cars stopped and honked at him, he kept a smile on his face and told Sango to go ahead of him. She did but she did it with suspicion and her suspicions were right. Miroku touched her butt the second that she was ahead of him. She gave him an extra hard slap and all of the driver's faces turned red. Everyone hurried across the street with Miroku.
They were all sitting in the kitchen, the bags next to their rightful owners, except for the bag of candy which Kagome kept at her side so that Shippo didn't immediately eat it all. Miroku still had the slap mark on his face and Sango was still mad at him for touching her like that in front of people.
Everyone at the table was being quiet. Jack and InuYasha couldn't take the silence. "Kagome, boil some water for me would ya?" InuYasha said to her when she got up. "What am I your slave?" Kagome asked angrily. She returned to the table with two glasses.
They were filled up with soda. She gave one to Miroku and one to Sango. She continued until everyone had a glass of soda. Jack was at the stove, watching the kettle waiting for steam to come out, signaling that the water inside was boiling. After it boiled Jack brought the kettle to InuYasha and filled up his open instant noodle cup with water. Then, Jack saw something that made him feel welcome. InuYasha had opened one for Jack to and placed it at the end of the table where he was sitting at.
Jack filled it and asked if anyone else wanted any. They declined and Jack returned the kettle to the stove and began to eat. "Thanks InuYasha," Jack said after he finished eating. "Don't think this means I have accepted you, I still think that it was a bad idea for you to join our group," InuYasha said. Jack knew he should have seen that coming so he just gave a small depressed sigh.
Kagome looked between the two. "Should we go out to the movies tonight?" Kagome asked. "What are movies? Something that we move to?" Sango asked. "No, it is something that we sit down and watch people act to," Kagome explained. "It can be funny, sad, full of action," Jack said, picking up from where Kagome left off. "Jack tell us more about you," Shippo said. "Well...," Jack said.
Jack ran down the corridor. Gunshots echoing all around him. He just discovered that the Mafia had put a hit out on his family. He had come here to find his parents and found him dead and now the Mafia was after him. Jack continued to run as bullets flew past him. He then heard a radio conversation of an ambush that was just ahead. He screeched to a halt and turned around and ran towards the Mafia and ran past them while the Mafia was shocked from this move. He continued to run down the long, narrow corridor. He then turned left praying for a door to the exit to be near. He continued to run, the bullets still flying towards him when he saw the door to the exit. As soon as he opened the exit, multiple members of the Mafia were there, armed with machine guns. Jack got down on his knees when he saw them all killed. He turned to see a blond haired man. "Go to Tokyo, Japan. You will be safe there," was all that he said before he left.
"You never told us this," Kagome said. "No, I haven't. I am originally from America which explains why I don't have a Japanese name," Jack said. "What is the Mafia?" Shippo asked. "And what are machine guns? Are they like the guns back from our time?" Sango asked. Jack looked at Kagome and nodded and they tried their best to explain the Mafia and machine guns to the people from the Feudal Era.
Jack ran from the village. He didn't know this era at all but all he knew was that some crazy sword-wielding maniac was after him and that he didn't want to die. Jack turned around as the sword was swung towards his face. Jack narrowly dodged it and tried to tackle the man but the man moved out of the way. Then, Jack noticed something strange other than the clothing about the man. He had a tail, and his ears were pointed. 'This can't be good,' Jack thought. Then as if on cue the man struck again, the visible part of Jack's arm getting cut, but Jack was also lucky and it was just a light scratch. Jack continued to run when he noticed the man wasn't after him anymore. He slowed his running down and started to walk towards where he hoped the well was. Then the man who he saw earlier in the white fur robe with the mask appeared. "Nice to see you again Jack," he said. Jack moaned in anger and frustration and started to run again. The man always keeping no less more than two steps behind him. Then Jack noticed a low branch that was broken. Jack took a jump at it and it broke when he grabbed it. He immediately slung it to the man in the robe and the man jumped so higher than it was possible for a normal human to do. "Why do I get all the freaks?" he asked out loud and dropped the branch and continued to run. He spotted the well ahead of him, he then decided that if he jumped in and he didn't go back, he could be hurt, but if he stopped or hesitated, he would be killed. Jack made his mind up and jumped into the well.
"Ready to go to the movies?" Kagome asked everyone. "Yes," everyone said and they left the house, this time, Kagome held onto Miroku and Sango and Jack were going together arm in arm. If anything, they looked like a couple going out on a date. "So, what do we see?" Jack asked. "Doesn't matter to me," Kagome said. They continued on their way. 'At last, some piece and relaxation,' Jack thought.
A/N: I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. I made it more action filled than the others for those people reading this story for the action and the italics are Jack's past. It is a fix of both 3rd person and what Jack knows. That is why I kept referring to Koga as "man" and Naraku "man in the robe" just in case that was confusing anyone. Well, as usual, review and enjoy the stories, I should hopefully have another chapter up tonight.
