Hola, me again. Mika doesn't seem to have anything to do with fanfiction anymore. The only reason I'm still writing this is because you guys want it. Heck, I don't even know where this story is going. And for all of you people that understand the bird thing… neither do I. Ah well, here's chapter 5 for those of you who have the patience enough to wait for it.
Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Inuyasha…
Recap:
The police has found Inuyasha and Kagome but Inuyasha managed to escape them with his awesome power. Now, Kagome and Inuyasha are on the run.
Vanished

Chapter 5
It was already late in the afternoon when the two found a good place to stay. It was a deserted area in the middle of the woods. Inuyasha looked around as if searching to make sure that it really was deserted and didn't just look like it was. After approving of the small place he gave a nod and sat himself down next to a tree. From there he took the newspaper that was wrapped around him and peeled it right off. Sure enough just that little amount of paper wouldn't have been able to hold all of his blood. It did a good job though for what it was worth. It was drenched in blood once he took it off. After seeing that the wound wasn't healing any faster Inuyasha took this time to glare at Kagome. He blamed this at her. After all, this never would have happened if she didn't keep him there. Why didn't she just let him go when he wanted to? He sighed and threw the newspaper off to the side.
Kagome saw the glare that Inuyasha gave her. She sighed at the thought of how all of this could have been avoided. But she couldn't have just let this man die because of his wound. He had to be tended to. Right now he needed to be tended to as well. "Stop glaring at me! I didn't tell the police to come. It's your fault that they're after you!" Kagome snapped back at Inuyasha's look. She didn't want to feel guilty so the only way to counter that was to make him feel guilty. Though that probably wouldn't be something easy to do.
"Me? This is all your fault! If you hadn't stopped me from leaving when I wanted too, this would have been all avoided!" Inuyasha didn't see what gave this girl her courage. After all, did she see his block the bullet and stop the police? She doesn't even know who she's messing with.
"How could I?" Kagome shouted back, "You were wounded. You would have died if I let you go. You wouldn't have enough strength to even stand. You should be thankful."
"Well, then, Thank you," Inuyasha said with a little bow that he could manage. "Thanks for keeping me hostage so the police could find me. Thank you for making me battle them so I could open my wound again. Thank you for causing me to grow this great amount of hatred to you!"
"You're welcome!" Kagome spat. That was the end of that certain conversation. The two sat there in silence for quite some time. Neither of the two was willing to say sorry to each other. Inuyasha of course would never say sorry and Kagome would only apologize if he did it first. This would be a long wait.
An hour had passed in their silence and Kagome could barely take it anymore. If there were two people in one spot there should be at least some noise. Though she wouldn't apologize, she could start another conversation. And that's just what she did. "Hey, Inuyasha, are you really a thief?"
Inuyasha looked up at her voice. He seemed disappointed to hear it but responded never the less. "What do you think? You mean the police just want to kidnap me for no reason?"
"Well, if you are a thief then what kind of stuff did you steal?"
"Food and whatnot. Why do you ask?" Inuyasha growled. He liked it better when it was silent. Plus it didn't help any that he didn't like to talk about himself. It was just better to keep that stuff privet.
Kagome looked up to the clouds. She didn't really know why she picked that topic out of all the ones she could have chosen. "No reason," came her response.
"Well, if you have no reason to ask them, then don't. I have no intention to tell you anything about myself. Why don't you just get lost!"
"Oh but I can't," Kagome said looking back to Inuyasha. She wore a grin that Inuyasha knew he would regret hearing her answer. "As the police say, I'm your partner in crime. If I leave now then they will want to arrest me. Besides, it's safer if I just stay with you. You have those mad bar skills."
Inuyasha's face now showed a great amount of disgust. Her? As his partner in crime? He didn't even want a partner let alone her. Why did the world hate him so very much? "A. No way. You are not my partner in crime. Heck, I don't even want a partner. And B. Those weren't bar skills. It's called swordsmanship. For a partner in crime you don't know much."
Kagome smiled at him once more. He didn't know what he said now but once again he knew he would regret it. "So you agree? I can be your partner in crime?"
"What? I said no to that. What made you think I said you could be?" Inuyasha said in confusion. He really didn't see what made her think that. This girl was just too confusing to him. If he was to have her around twenty-four seven, that would be murder.
"Quote," Kagome said, "For a partner in crime you don't know much. End quote. See, you just called me your partner in crime."
"What?" Inuyasha asked in shock. This girl was really tricky and he didn't know what to do with her. This would be a problem. "Well, I never said that you were MY partner in crime!" he said thinking he now had the upper hand.
"Fine, then I can be the criminal and you can be my partner in crime."
"What? If anything like that were to happen it would be you that is my partner in crime." Inuyasha shouted back. After realizing what he just said he slapped his hands to his mouth. He knew that Kagome wouldn't let this slide, and she didn't.
"Great. Now that we're partners in this crime business don't you think that we should get out of this crime thing? I mean, it's not good to steal and everything. People can get hurt." Kagome wasn't really willing to become one of the "bad guys" so easily. She should at least give a try to convert Inuyasha's ways.
"What are you? Crazy?" Inuyasha said giving her a look as if she was. He wasn't about to go and turn himself into the police and because mister good now. He was too much into his own little career by now. "Besides, I have a few things that I still need to steal."
"What? What are you planning on stealing? Pearls? Jewels?" Kagome asked. She didn't like the sounds of this. And by now she had already dragged herself into it. Though she would regret being his partner in crime it was safer this way. At least, that's what she thought.
"Nothing so passive. I just want my sword back." Inuyasha said while rubbing his wound. He was wishing for it to heal a little faster now. He couldn't go out looking for his sword with a wound like this.
"YOUR sword?" Kagome asked. She didn't believe him. If it were his sword why would he have to steal it?
"Yes, MY sword." Inuyasha shot back, "Those devils went and took it from me when I was in a state where I couldn't stop them. How else do you think I got this wound? Surely you didn't think a crow came down from the sky and slashed me with its beak."
"That's a possibility. After all, you did change into a bird when I first found you. How can you do that? Does it have something to do with those ears of yours? Are those even real ears?" Kagome asked now spewing with questions. She couldn't help it. Inuyasha was just full of questions that need to be answered.
"Of course they're real. Did you think they were a headband or something like that?" Kagome was silent at that. She really thought the ears were a part of one headband. "And the answer for your other questions, stop being so nosy. Right now I have to figure out a way to get my tetsaiga back."
"Huh?" was Kagome's only response to that. She had no idea what he was talking about when he brought up the word tetsaiga.
"It's the name of my sword. It's not that hard to figure out." Inuyasha spat back. He didn't know what to do with this girl. All he would get out of her was question, question and more questions.
"Well, then where is your sword?" Kagome asked.
There was another one. Questions once again. Inuyasha sighed. "It's locked up in a mansion on the other side of this city. Now stop asking questions, I need to think."
Kagome listened to his command. She pretty much had to. He looked frustrated and she thought it would be best not to get on his bad said. Instead she too was thinking. Though it was not about how to get the sword. It was to figure out how to be of more help. She sighed knowing that compared to Inuyasha she was such a weak person. The best she could do was to tend to his wounds but that was barely enough. She didn't have the right stuff to heal him in the right way. Though when she looked back it seemed as though his wound was closing once more. Now all they had to do was stay away from battle a little while longer. Inuyasha would have none of that though.
"Okay, here's the plan. We'll stay here for one night then tomorrow we'll make our way to the mansion. Don't say anything about my wound either. It's fine if you haven't noticed. I'll sneak in and beat up anyone that tries to stop me. Then I'll get my sword and I'll be on my way."
Kagome listened to his plan with undivided attention. Though it was very short she still didn't seem to hear what she wanted. Where was the you or Kagome? "Hey!" Kagome said glaring over at Inuyasha, "What about me? I'm your partner in crime. I should be able to do something at least!"
"Right…" Inuyasha said knowing he wouldn't hear the end of this if she didn't play a part in this. With all of her complaining she could even ruin the plan. He sighed thinking of something that she could do. "Fine then, you can be the decoy. You can distract the people while I make my way in. There, you now have something to do. Just don't complain."
Kagome was far from it. She was glad that she could be the littlest amount of help. She smiled the as well walked to a tree. "Right, then we should get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us." Inuyasha didn't know what to say to this. Nobody would have been this happy to help him out. Nonetheless he and Kagome drifted off to sleep readying themselves for the next day.
Sheby: Yes, well, there you have it. Chapter 5. I don't know what I'm doing but Inuyasha needs his Tetsaiga. I'm also planning on Kagome getting her bow as well. Oh man, all of you are going to pound me for how bad I'm characterizing these characters. I bet they don't even sound like they really are Kagome and Inuyasha. Well, what do you expect? I haven't really read any of the manga and I haven't seen that much of the anime. Oh well. Once again this one's sorry for the wait. I just don't really know what to do with story. As always read and review.
