Chapter 20
"Who the hell are you, freak?", one of the patrons said.
"How the hell did he get passed the bouncer?", one bartender asked another.
"I don't know, but call the cops. We don't need trouble.", the other said.
A couple of the larger men stood up and blocked Inuyasha's way.
"GET OUTTA MY WAY OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!", Inuyasha warned, which caused a rumble of laughter to go through the crowd. Seeing no movement, Inuyasha began swinging. Left and right. He took them all on. Even when a crowd jumped on top of him. Soon enough the bar was in ruins and over a hundred men lay on the floor, moaning. Getting over to Kagome, he grabbed her hand, and yelled at her,
'WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS, WOMAN?"
Kagome, too shell-shocked to answer, didn't even realize he had placed her on his back and was hopping away on top of the roofs. He finally stopped and turned to stare at her.
"ANSWER ME! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THAT AND FOR KAMI'S SAKE WOMAN, COVER YOURSELF!", he yelled as he placed his hitoe around her.
Finally recovering from the shock of seeing Inuyasha, she yelled back, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHY WAS I THERE? WHY ARE YOU HERE? YOU DISAPPEAR FOR 5 YEARS AND NOW YOU SHOW UP AND DESTROY HALF OF TOKYO!"
From below the roof they were on, a voice calls out, "WILL YOU SHUT UP, UP THERE! PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP DOWN HERE!"
"FUCK YOU, OLD MAN!", Inuyasha yells over the side of the roof then turns back to Kagome, "You didn't answer me. Why were you there and why are you dressed like this?", he hissed at her.
"I was making money, thank you very much!", she hissed back. By this time, she had smartly decided to slip her left hand into the small pocket of the dress and slip her wedding band back on.
"What, as a fucking geisha?"
"I'm not a whore.", she said, her voice quieting down, "I've never had another man in my life. Only you.", she said as a tear fell down her cheek.
Inuyasha was taken aback. She had remained faithful all this time?
"Kagome.", he said softly.
"Where have you been, Inuyasha? I thought you were dead. I ... I... Why didn't you come back for me?", she said as the tears fell fast and hard.
Taking her in his arms, he whispered, "I thought you'd be better off without me. I ... I ... I missed you so much Kagome. But I was afraid to return. After being gone so long, it was easier to believe that you didn't need me anymore."
The couple held each other for what seemed like a long time, but was merely seconds, before Kagome heard the sirens. Looking over the rooftop, she saw police cars speeding down the road. Toward the club.
"Damn!", she muttered under her breath, "Inuyasha, we have to get back to the shrine. There's a warrant out for your arrest from 5 years ago."
"A what?", he asked, confused.
"You're a wanted man, Inuyasha. A criminal. From when you punched out the wall at the hospital. When the cops get your description from the people at the bar, they'll put two and two together and they'll be at the shrine looking for you."
"So we don't go back to the shrine.", he said, simply.
"We have to. That's the perfect place. You can go through the well and return tomorrow after they've left. Ok?"
"Ok.", he agreed as she climbed on his back and off they headed to the shrine.
Arriving at the shrine, she urged Inuyasha to hide by going back through the well.
"Come back in the morning.", she said as she went into the house, confident Inuyasha would listen.
As she arrived in the house, her family was surprised to see her so early. She quickly explained everything that had happened and finished up as a knock came on the door. It was the police.
"Yes, may I help you?", Mrs. Higurashi asked as she opened the door.
"We're looking for your, is it, your son-in-law, Ma'am? The man in the red outfit with silver hair."
"Yes, he's my son-in-law, but he's not here.", she insisted.
As the officer spoke with Kagome's mom, Inuyasha hid in the well house. Having just gotten back to see Kagome, he wasn't about to leave so soon. He could handle these humans. Not realizing that there were other cops roaming the property, he gently opened the well doors. Suddenly, the doors flew open and Inuyasha stood facing a barrel of a 9 mm gun.
"We got' em here, Lieutenant.", the cop yelled, as another cop pulled Inuyasha out of the well house.
"Now put your hands up in the air,", a cop ordered.
"HMPH!" was Inuyasha's reply, then he heard Kagome's voice,
"Inuyasha, please just cooperate. I'll be down to get you out of jail.", Kagome said to him.
Not fully comprehending her statement, Inuyasha, nonetheless, complied, allowing them to cuff him and take him to the police car without incident. He remained quiet all the way to the police station. On the way, deciding the cuffs were uncomfortable, he simply broke them and kept his hands at his sides. The cops didn't realize this until they went to take him out of the car.
"Jesus! He broke the cuffs.", one cop said.
Cuffing him again, they led him into be processed. Throughout it all, Inuyasha refused to give them any details. All he did was growl. Then they tried to "remove" his ears.
"HaHa, cute prank, buddy, now let's take these toy ears off, ok now?" And as the officer pulled on the ears, Inuyasha exploded. Breaking apart the cuffs, he hauled off and punched out every cop that showed up until not one was standing, Bolting out the door, he jumped up to the building tops and took off. Two cops that showed up as he did this feat, just stared, with mouths open,
"What the hell?"
Arriving at the shrine, Kagome was shocked to see him there.
"What the hell? How in the world did you get here from the police?", and then, remembering the bar, she said, "OH NO! Inuyasha, you didn't punch out the cops, did you?"
"They deserved it. For trying to pull my ears off.", he huffed, arms across his chest and head turned.
"Great! Now you have assaulting police officers on your record. Inuyasha, listen to me and listen good. Go through that damn well and stay there until tomorrow while we try to get this fucking mess straightened out!", she hissed, angrily.
Looking at her in amusement, he commented, "When did you start getting a potty mouth?", he said, referring to the term she used to describe his language.
"Probably, from hanging around with YOU for 4 years of my life! Now go before I get mad and use your body to dig a hole in the front yard!"
This time Inuyasha, grumbling, complied and jumped through the well (Kagome followed him this time to make sure he followed through).
Back at the Police Station
2 cops began taking statements from their fellow officers. The one cop said to his partner,
"This is the same guy that destroyed the wall at the hospital. Someone convinced the hospital to settle with the Higurashis, but this time, it won't happen. This freak's goin' down! I have a debt to settle with this guy.", commented Sato.
"This idiot must be on meth or coke or something. To take on all these cops and all those people at the bar. No human can do that without being stoned out of their minds.", said Narita.
"Yea. If only we can convince the Higurashis to give him up. I wish I knew what he had on them to make them keep quiet."
"Maybe the meth lab is at the shrine. Good place to hide one."
"Hmmm. Good thinking. Maybe we should get a warrant for the shrine. Maybe that will scare them into giving him up."
Later, the cops arrived at the shrine, looking for their fugitive. Waking up the family, they grilled them over and over and finally insisted on searching the house and the shrine. Wanting them to go away, Mrs. Higurashi agreed, reluctantly. Kagome went up to Souta's room, to stay with Yasha while they searched. The little boy was nervous and confused. Narita walked into Souta's bedroom and stared at the little boy, before searching. Before he left, he made a snide comment to Kagome,
"Had a kid with that weirdo? Couldn't a pretty girl like you do better than that?"
"Weirdo, huh?", she responded, "Strange, you're the ones can can't seem to find a guy in a gaudy red outfit with waist length silver hair in Tokyo!"
And with that Narita left the girl in the room. After finding nothing, the cops left, but Sato warned them,
"I'll keep my eyes on you."
"Go ahead, officer, we have nothing to hide.", Mrs. Higurashi said as she closed the door behind her.
Somewhere in Tokyo
'Knock Knock', came a tapping at the bedroom door.
The silvery-white haired man turned over and looked at the clock. 3 am.
'Knock Knock', the tapping came again.
"Come in.", he said gruffly.
The door opened, and the impish-looking creature appeared. In this house there was no need for a magic spell to hide one's appearance.
"I ... I... I'm sorry to wake you, M -M- My Lord, but we have a problem."
"What is IT, Jaken?"
"It's Inuyasha, My Lord. He has returned through the well."
"And you woke me up for THAT? What's the problem that couldn't wait until morning?"
"Well, M-M-My Lord, it appears we will be needing the lawyers again."
