A Sweettooth's Ache – 6Kagome (Kag)Sango (San)
InuYasha (Inu)Miroku (Mir)
Shippō (Shp)
"WHAT!" They'd both yelled at him.
Ah shit, Shp thought as he ate from the tup of popcorn he was sitting in.
Kag glared down at Shp with murder in her eyes. "Who the hell is this DDPacker? And what the fsck do the two of those bastards think they're doing with my goddamned gang!" By then she was leaning over the chain and was practically nose-to-nose with him. And then, suddenly, she wasn't. The white haired boy was.
"Never mind any of that, what do you know of Mir? Did he state his plans for his gang in this?" The look the boy was giving him demanded answers and Shp dared not hesitate.
"Well, Mir — by what San wrote in her diary — is going to take some of his DDPs and join up with her. It also said that . . ." but he didn't get to finish cuz he was interrupted again.
"What the hell does that stupid lecher think he's doing? And all for a piece of ass, too!" Inu started shoving his way down the aisle with Kag following close behind. She, at least, was interested in what he had to say.
"It also said that they were going to have a meeting at the candy shop!" Shp rushed this last part out with hopes to lessen the blow. It didn't work. There were "WHAT"s all over again.
Now Kag was shoving people out of the way while keeping up with the white haired DDPacker. Who was he anyway? "Kag, who's this guy? You sure we can trust him?"
"This, my furry spy, is my boyfriend, Inu Leader of the DDP." She gave him a look that dared him to comment. Shp smartly remained silent.
Inu and Kag rushed out of the theater and made their way on foot, to the sweets shop. This was gonna end. Now. As they neared the shop Inu/Kag noticed a few things. 1) There were lookouts. 2) Shp had abandoned them. 3) The lookouts were armed.
Inu pulled Kag aside for a moment and looked into her face as they stood only a turn away from the shop. "You can stay here. I'll find out what's going on, you don't have to endanger yourself." He gave her a fang-filled smile and saw her eyes glow in response. Maybe she liked him as much as he did her?
That possibility lifted his spirits. They immediately plummeted again when she shook her head stubbornly. "I'm going too. I have the right and I need to know as much as you." It annoyed him that she wouldn't simply listen but she wouldn't be his Kag if she did.
He nodded and motioned and lifted her onto his back. Piggy-back style, they made their way up the side of the building. As soon as they reached the rooftop, Kag knocked out the guards and had taken their arrows/swords. Hilt-first, she tossed one to Inu. He caught the katana and immediately stuck it through one of the belt loops on his cargoes.
Carefully, Inu eased the roof door open and slipped aside first, with Kag safely behind him. They moved through the upper level of the darkened hallway with smooth stealth until they came to a door that not only had light peeking from the bottom but was locked as well. Whoever was in there wanted privacy . . .but where were the voices? They stood outside it for almost five minutes without hearing a thing. This was a set-up and with a little thought Kag recognized it as one of her own.
That meant San was really orchestrating this meeting. The roofies must have been AR and the ones behind this door — if she was correct — DDPackers. They would have to be if San wanted the DDPs to think they played an active role in this rebellion.
Kag moved up against Inu until her lips were a breath away from his ear. "This is a trap, one of my own in fact." She sniffed with annoyance, "You'd think the biznatch would put forward the effort to make her own but . . ." she shrugged, "If they're going by the plan, the room we're looking for should be a couple doors down." Kag felt a pang in her chest for all the good memories that would now be torture. Inu must have known for he pulled her into his arms and gave her a reassuring squeeze. Kag realized she like that he could read her emotions and know what she needed. Maybe it was okay, loving him.
Ach! Did she really just think that word again!
Quietly, she moved away from his chest and lead the way down the hall. His hand shot out to grab her wrist and pull her backwards into his arms once more. She squirmed a little but that only caused her but to rub against . . . parts better left unmentioned . . . so she stopped:Inu thanks heaven for small favors:
She stared up into his eyes and Inu leaned forward to gently kiss her on the lips. This was the worst time possible for such a thing but damn he'd think about that afterwards. Gradually, the sound of voices in the hall penetrated his clouded mind and he reacted quickly. Kag opened her eyes to find herself plastered to the ceiling as Inu desperately used his claws to keep them up.
Two DDPackers walked underneath them, talking of the meeting they were going to — it hadn't started yet! With a growl, Inu let go in time to fall right on top of the two. Kag took out one and Inu the other. In silent agreement, they stripped the two and stowed them away in a nearby closet. Quickly, they changed in the darkness of the hallway.
Kag smiled as she pulled off her clothes. "It's a good thing it's dark or I wouldn't be doing this." She was down to her underwear and was bent over, reaching for a piece of clothing.
"Well, I don't know. It's a pretty good view at the moment," Inu replied.
Her face instantly red, Kag turned to glare at him in the dark, "You're lying! You can't see anything!"
"Ah, Kag darlin', you got the sweetest ass and blush I've ever laid eyes on. Why don't you come over here and I tell you what else I can see?" Kag could barely see anything in the poor light but she could hear the lecherous smile in his voice.
It's all a lie! He can't see a damn thing! . . . Just in case, Kag thought as she hurriedly pulled on the rest of her clothes. As she shimmied into a pair of pants, she could have sworn she heard him chuckling. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it a bit harder than necessary as they made their way back down the hall. Voices could be heard through the door and Kag knew more were coming up behind them. And a thought struck her.
Did they have a password?
Her hand had already risen to knock when the thought flashed through her mind. Before it could make contact, Inu pulled her aside, into the shadows close to the door. In her ear, he whispered, "Let's wait a minute." He did it again! Kag realized in shock.
Two people emerged from the opposite end of the hall and knocked on the door. Immediately a face appeared in a small slot fixed into the door. One of the two stepped forward and whispered, "InuYasha and Kagome will pay." The door slid open silently and allowed them entrance.
Inu and Kag waited a minute or two before moving to the door. Inu knocked on the door and the face reappeared. At this range, Kag could see it was a DDPacker behind the door so she stepped forward, knowing Inu wouldn't want to be recognized. "InuYasha and Kagome will stay."
Either the doorman was deaf or he just hadn't caught the intended change to the password because the door slid open and Kag grabbed Inu's hand as she slid into the room. It was already crowded with AR and DDPs and at the head of the crowd were the traitorous San and that pretty boy Mir. At the sight of his former 2nd-IC, Inu stiffened.
She slid her palm down Inu's chest in a soothing manner to remind him of their purpose. Revenge would be sweet but for now they must rejoice that they were in and see what was in store for the future.
