Yay yay, the 32nd chapter!! I'm so happy I got this far…!! * grips hand tightly *
I hope you enjoy this chapter as well as you did in the last chapters. Now, I have several questions from my friends who were reading this ( And they really seem to enjoy it cause' they're already threatening me that they will burn my official Inuyasha fan book if I don't hurry with the next chapter soon. * Nooooooooo!!!!!!!! *)
One question is about Jakotsu's and Bankotsu's relationship in this fic…, they're asking if it's gonna be yaoi or something. Hmm…I'd say…no. More like a best bud thing? Sure, Jakotsu can be a little over-protective about Bankotsu…but that's cause he trusts him. And Bankotsu thinks Jakotsu as someone who you can really trust.
Another one is about the character's age settings in this fic. Well, I thought of it so here it is (Warning, there's spoilers here…I think): Inuyasha (15) (the same as the official), Kagome (15) (Same as official), Sango (15) (In the official, she's 16), Miroku (15) (18 in the official), Kohaku (11) (Same as official), Kikyou (15) (18 in the official), Kouga (15) (Same as official), Sesshoumaru (17) (19 in the official), Naraku (17) (23 in the official, but this was when he took over Hitomi Kagewaki's body, so I guess it's not his actual age), Kagura (15) (17 in the official), Kanna (16) (10 in the official, so I made her older cause if she's that young, she's not even suppose to be in High School!! Unless she's really smart or something), the Shichinin-tai's are all 15…except for Renkotsu. I should say he's 17. I don't know about Hiten and Yura's actual age cause it doesn't say here in the official, but I should say they're both around their 20's so I guess that'll be their age.
There's other character's to list but if I do that the list will be longer…so I'll just keep it like that. Now you all know that I don't own Inuyasha…I just changed their ages to fit the plot of this fic. The official age is there so you can see it. I guess you can call it official since it's written on the official fan book " Inuyasha Zusetsu Taizen, Ougi Kaiden "
If you have other questions…feel free to ask. You don't have to hesitate…

Chapter 32:
KIDNAPPED!!!!
* * * * * * * * *
" I know what you're trying to do…"
Jakotsu spoke as soon as he and Renkotsu came to a dark alleyway.
" ? " Renkotsu turned to him, " I don't know what you're talking about."
" Shut the fuck up!" Jakotsu shouted angrily, glaring at him. " I know what you're planning to do…and I won't make it happen! I won't let you hurt, Bankotsu!"
Renkotsu stared at him silently; he then later smirked, rubbing his head. " How did you find out?"
" . . . . . . ."
" Not answering, huh?" Renkotsu then starts pacing around Jakotsu, " Then let me change the question…how much do you know?"
" As much as you know."
The baldhead Shichinin-tai narrowed his eyes, " I see…but sorry to say my dear friend, you won't be able to stop me. Nothing…will."
" Just tell me why, Renkotsu. Why…are you doing this? Why!!? Bankotsu…he is our leader!!" Jakotsu asked desperately, he still couldn't seem to believe that one of his friends is betraying them. " Please tell me!"
" Yes…maybe I should tell you, my dear Jakotsu. I am tired…tired of being ordered around by a kid. Just tired, Jakotsu."
" Tired? But we were a team! We are the Shichinin-tai! Everyone is scared of us…everyone has known of us…"
" Yes…we, Shichinin-tai, has become famous…known to most of the students at school. But what about the world? Why not the people outside of the school? Why not let them know about us? The great Shichinin-tai!? Of course, I talked to Bankotsu about it." Renkotsu closed his eyes as though to remember, " But he rejected my idea. He told me that we are still too young to go out for the real world…that we're still too innocent to smear ourselves with blood of the darkness in the society."
"…Renkotsu."
" How can we be too young!? When we have done so many things…many things that is counted illegal to the outside world!!!" Renkotsu gritted his teeth in anger.
" Because Bankotsu doesn't want us to get involved in the dark side..! Think of it, Renkotsu, it's true that we did so many illegal things…but what does that do to the outside world!? I'm pretty sure a lot of the other people did that like nothing. I'm sure Bankotsu doesn't want to let us go out the world yet, because he knows how dangerous it is!!"
" Dangerous…?" Renkotsu narrowed his eyes in anger. " Hm. Jakotsu…do you really think so?"
" Eh…?"
Suddenly, they heard a faint sound of a siren, which was getting louder and louder. An ambulance passed by them, with several police cars following behind. Jakotsu followed the ambulance with his eyes and wondered what happened. He then remembered he was talking to Renkotsu, and turned back his gaze to find him gone.
" Wha…!" Jakotsu ran to where Renkotsu was standing and looked around. " Ch! He ran away…maybe to go finish Bankotsu. I can't let that happen!"
He then turned around and ran to the direction to the ice cream parlor, where he supposed to find Bankotsu there. But then, someone blocked his way and he widens his eyes. " Ba…Bankotsu!?"
Bankotsu, his group leader, was standing before him. " Jakotsu…"
* * * * * * *
" Thank you, Inuyasha…for following me home." Kagome said as she and Inuyasha walked towards her home together.
The sun was already setting and the city was already starting to light up for the busy night. Some people were walking towards their home already, and some were going into stores and restaurants and all sorts.
" Keh! Whatever…" Inuyasha muttered. ' Ch. Why do I have to go through this?'
* flashback *
" Inuyasha…can you follow Kagome-chan to her house?" Sango asked to Inuyasha, while Kagome was busy talking with Ms. Yura.
" Hah!? Why!!?"
" To protect her, of course!! You do remember that Naraku is still after her, don' t you?" Sango glanced towards Kagome, " Besides…this is the time Kagome-chan really needs you right now."
"…what?"
" I'm saying that this is the time when you can stay beside and encourage her!"
" What the…!? What the heck am I suppose to say? I'm not good with comforting and those stuff!!!" Inuyasha whispered sharply so Kagome wouldn't hear them.
" Just try your best! I'm sure Kagome-chan will understand!"
* End of flashback*
'……I'm gonna get you for this, Sango." Inuyasha thought to himself and then turns his gaze back at Kagome.
Her head was faced down…and she had that same sad expression she held at Sango's house.
' Ch, what's up with her, Damnit.' Inuyasha was starting to get irritated. He hated when girls go all gloomy and stuff. It always got on his nerves and he was sure he would never get use to it. " Oi! Kagome!"
"…?" Kagome turned around in confuse.
" Eh? U…Uh…ummm," Inuyasha was surprised she actually turned around by his voice and stuttered in his thoughts. "…I…I was just trying to say…don't get all gloomy! It's…it's irritating!!"
Kagome stared at him in astonishment but soon smiles, "…sorry."
"!!?" Inuyasha blushed and quickly turned his face as though to hide it. " A…and don't go all sorry to me! You…you didn't do anything…"
"…I'm sorry, Inuyasha. For letting you into this…"
" I said to stop saying that!" Inuyasha said angrily, wondering why Kagome is acting like this.
" But…"
" I said to stop it!!"
" . . . . . . . ."
The silver haired teenager sighed as he held his head, " Kagome…I don't know what you're going through…what you're suffering…that's why you gotta tell me. Or I won't understand."
" Inuyasha…"
" I want to help you, Kagome! And this is serious…from my heart! Not because I feel guilty for leaving you or anything…it's because I want to! " Inuyasha shouted, grabbing Kagome's shoulder and pulling her closer to him. " Because…because I care about you, Kagome. You're…you're important to me…"
" . . . ." Kagome stared into Inuyasha's eyes for a while. ' Should I tell him? Maybe…maybe he can help me…but…how can he help me when I don't even know it myself? Oh, Inuyasha…what should I do?'
" Kagome…?" Inuyasha spoke up when Kagome released his grasp from herself.
" Thank you…Inuyasha." Kagome smiled, which made him blush again. " I'm happy that you care about me…but this one…I have to deal with myself."
" Ka…" Inuyasha was about to speak but was interrupted when Kagome placed a finger on his lips.
" I'll be fine, Inuyasha. Don't worry…if I figure out that I really need help…I'll go straight and ask help from you first. So, don't worry." Kagome smiled again, as though to assure him it's okay. " I'm not weak…Inuyasha."
Inuyasha stared at her silently and closed his eyes, wrapping his hand around hers.
"…okay."
* * * * * *
" Hiten?"
Yura peeked into Hiten's classroom, looking for him, but finds the classroom empty. She walked into the class and looked around worriedly, ' I wonder where he went…I'm pretty sure I told him to meet here at six…'
She sat on one of the desks and decided to wait for a few minutes. ' Maybe he forgot…' She thought to herself, ' I've noticed recently that he's been busy lately…as though getting ready for something. But…what? '
Thirty minutes have passed and still Hiten did not come, so she decided to leave and look for him out of school. She was about to go out the door when she passed by Hiten's desk and noticed something.
There was that same brown folder she saw the last time she was here on the desk. She buried her eyebrow in wonder and then picked it up. ' He won't get mad for looking at it…won't he?'
She opened the brown folder and looked through the papers. ' Wow…so…detailed…'
The sky has already darkened and she was standing alone in the light. She turned to a certain page and suddenly widens her eyes.
' Th…This is…!!?"
* * * * * * *
" Good-bye, Inuyasha…see you tomorrow."
"……yeah, whatever."
Kagome smiled nervously and the turns around, walking towards the direction of her house.
Inuyasha watched her for a while, and decided to head back home, as well. As he walked, a black car drove pass him but he didn't bother to look who the driver was. And just about when he was about to turn the corner, he heard Kagome's scream.
" Kagome….!?"
* * * * * * *
Kagome was walking towards her home as soon as she bid farewell to Inuyasha.
' I think I disappointed him…' she thought, ' But…I mean, I'm not even sure myself. Oh gods, mother will be really mad and worried when I get home.'
She laughed at the thought and didn't even notice a black car was driving beside. She suddenly turned around by a screeching sound and saw the black car had stopped beside her. The door of the car suddenly opened and two strong arms came darting out, grabbing her arm.
" Ouch…!" Kagome winced in pain, as the arm pulled her inside the car. " Kyaaah!!"
" Ka…Kagome!?"
She heard Inuyasha's voice and looked up to see him running towards her. " Inuyasha!!!"
The arm pulled her further into the car and the door closed. The car then drove out into the road. Kagome managed to get up to see Inuyasha chasing after her and the car. " Inuyasha!!!"
She shouted and banged at the window. Inuyasha seemed to be yelling out something but she couldn't hear him. She tried to open the door but it seemed to be on auto-lock, so it wouldn't open.
" Inuyasha!!" she shouted again.
" Shut-up…"
Kagome turned around to finally see her kidnapper and gasped.
" M…Mr. Hiten!!!?"
* * * * * * *
" Kagome!!!" shouted Inuyasha as he saw her being pulled into the car. He saw the door closing and the car driving away. " Damnit!!"
He started running after the car but seemed to think it was useless, since the car was starting to pick up speed. " Kagome!! Kagome!!!!"
He stopped as the car drove away and disappeared into the road. " What the hell is going on!!?" He looked around to find some sort of transportation and spots a kid, about the same age as him or maybe older, riding a bicycle.
He dashed and blocked the kid's way. The kid who seemed to notice Inuyasha made a surprised expression and quickly pulled on his brake. The bicycle stopped in front of Inuyasha, making a screeching sound.
" What the fuck is wrong with you, dude!!?" shouted the kid angrily.
Inuyasha just ignored his question and pushed the kid off his bicycle.
" What the…!?"
" Hey kid, I'm gonna borrow this for a while…" said Inuyasha and quickly rode the bicycle towards where the car went to.
The kid stared in awe for a while but soon realized what happened. " H…Hey, you! Come back here! That's my bike!! Come back!!!!!!"

Well…here's chapter 32. Hmm…I guess 70 chapters is too much…okay then. Maybe, I'll just go up to 40 or 50 or something. I'm pretty sure my story won't go as far as 70 chapters anyways…
It seems that I'm starting to put cliffies now do I…? I don't why…I hate putting on cliffies but I still do.
Hmm…I'm starting to run out of ideas to make up a title for each chapter…oh well, I'll just choose a word that relates to the chapter from now on…I guess.
Now that Kagome is kidnapped, what would Inuyasha do!!? And why did Mr. Hiten kidnapped her!!? What would happen to Jakotsu and Bankotsu!!? Will Renkotsu succeed in killing Bankotsu!? What happened to Miroku…and the others!!? (ß I have no idea..)
What would happen to Mr. Hiten and Ms. Yura's relationship from now on!!? What is Naraku going to/planning to do!!? Where is Kikyou!!? And what about Kagome's father!!? What's up with him!!??
…phew…that's a lot to answer. Well…if you want to know all the answers for this…stay tune!! Till the next chapter…and till the end!!!
