I lifted my friend Wayne up the other day — he's like 6'3'' and at least 180 lbs. At the time I felt strong as a mo' fo' — I am only 5'3'' and quite slim — but not I feel this ache all over and can only think — Egad, I'm OLD! LOL. — Sh34k4
A Sweettooth's Ache – 6Kagome (Kag)InuYasha (Inu)
Sango (San)Miroku (Mir)
The enemy was holding a top-secret meeting and the couple had infiltrated it. Kag and Inu were leaning against a wall in the back of the room as they watched more of their former gang members pour into the overly crowded room. The meeting hadn't started yet so many of the traitors were mingling with those of the other gang. At one point a tall blond guy tried to flirt with Kag but Inu simply stepped in front of him and looked down on him with an evil glare and he was gone. He then glared at Kag for allowing the guy to get so friendly with her. Had he been wearing blue? An Arrowreiki? Did she like him?
She must have realized where his thoughts were going because, she did that thing with her hand and his chest that made him feel pretty damn good. Jealousy's ugly head had been stuffed back into its corner . . . for now :Ugly green head goes to sleep for a few minutes before wondering if Kag has ever dated any of those AR:
Well, Inu shifted uneasily, jealousy could only go so far. It wasn't like he was gonna do anything. He saw a guy boldly checking out Kag's exposed legs and instantly changed his mind. His arm snaked around Kag's waist and he glared at the guy, who simply shrugged. Hell, this wasn't going to work. That's it! The next time they went to the mall, Kag was getting a hell of a lotta baggy pants. Cargo pants. With lots a pockets and room. Feeling very satisfied with himself, Inu leaned back against the wall with Kag his arm and smiled.
His smile disappeared when Mir stepped onto one of the few tables in the room and captured everyone's attention. "Greetings, I am Miroku and this," he reached down to pull San up onto the table, "is San. You are all here right now because you believe neither Inu nor Kag are fit to lead. We will remove them from their stations and form a new gang. One made of AR and DDPackers alike. Together, we will be the best gang in the city and soon we will own every street. There will be a new group giving orders. Ours."
There were cheers and woots of agreement and encouragement. In the back, Inu squeezed on Kag's side and she patted his chest reassuringly. Deep down, she knew that she had to make Inu keep his cool or their cover could get blown. No matter how strong the two of them were, they couldn't take on this entire assembly by themselves.
Sango held up a hand for silence and withdrew two long scrolls from her the inner pocket of the black and red robes she wore. That was when Kag noticed two things: Mir was wearing blue for AR — perhaps to show their unification— and that everyone was signing the two scrolls.
This was perfect!
Once everyone had signed, she and Inu could grab them and run. She glanced up at him and saw his quick nod of agreement. The chilled out against the wall until almost the entire room had signed before slipping into the end of the line. When the pair reached the table, San was busy talking to someone off to the side and Mir was left to watch the scrolls. Kag patted Inu's hand quickly before tilting her head back a bit to show Mir flirtatious eyes and a welcoming smile.
"Hey there." She winked up at him and moved away from Inu before he could move.
Mir, smooth player that he was, moved on automatic and clasped her hand in a court-like manner before kissing the back of her hand. The skin tingled and Kag had to fight off a repulsive shiver. When Inu saw Mir's action, he snapped the quill he'd picked up in two and very nearly tossed the point into Mir wandering mouth.
NO! Snap out of it! Inu shook his head and began searching for another quill before remembering that he wasn't there to sign the damn thing anyway. Slowly, as Kag flirted with Mir, Inu slid one of the scrolls into his robe pocket. He moved up behind Mir and very subtly :cough, cough: growled. Subtly of course. Mir's spine instantly stiffened before he dropped Kag's hand.
"I guess that would be your boyfriend." He swallowed hard before turning to find one jealous Inu behind him. His eyes widened in fear and his mouth opened but no words came out. Nothing but an oddly comical, "Gubba, gubba, muwaha . . ." Inu used it to his advantage by slamming his fist into Mir's pretty boy face and grabbing Kag. Tossing her onto his back, Inu made his way to the nearest window.
Mir must have finally gotten an actual word out because San was swinging her bone boomerang earlier than Inu had anticipated. Inu jumped up and performed a neat backflip over it and the boomerang crashed through the window before turning to come back through another. To her credit, Kag didn't scream or anything. She only held on tighter as they plummeted out the third story window and down into the street.
Inu lightly landed on his feet before he continued running down the street. They disappeared into an alley before she was finally let off his back. He put her down on a box before confronting her. "What the fsck was that!" he raged.
"What was what?"
"That whole thing with Mir! Why were you flirting with that womanizer!" He was practically spitting with anger.
"I wasn't flirting for real. I was only distracting him. You know that." She waved him off, aggravated.
"Oh, really" Are you sure you weren't having a bit too much fun flirting with that . . . that . . . bastard?" :vulnerable eyes:
"No way. That loser is trying to kill me." She did that chest pat thing that made his ears twitch. "You know I like you. I mean really, why would I like him when I have you?" She flicked his nose and continued as he looked at her in confusion. "I mean, you're so muscular and your hair is so lovely," she pet it affectionately, "Your ears are down right hot. And those eyes! They are so HOT!" She smiled at him before suddenly giving him an odd look. "You didn't really think I like him, did you?"
Inu looked puzzled for a moment before waving his hand in a negative "I didn't mean it" fashion. "No way! I know that — you like my ears? — I just thought — my eyes are hot? — Well . . . um . . . I got you this!" He whipped out the pendant and dangled it in front of her face.
Kag's eyes grew round before she let out a sharp squeak and began to cry rivers.
Inu was shocked.
"What? What I do?" He had never seen Kag cry before and frankly, he didn't like it. She should never have anything to cry about when she was with him.
"You. Just :sniffle: Never. Bought. Me :wail: A. Gift. Be-fore. Waaaaah!" She tossed herself into Inu's arms as she took the pendant from him :sniff: "I love it." She hugged him hard and Inu gave her a tight squeeze as his heart swelled.
Okay. He was a sap for a hug and some compliments. She hadn't said that she loved him, just 'it.' But that was a good start, right? Right? Hell yes!
Kag grabbed his face and gave him a kiss that made him see starts that quickly changed into little cupids in the shape of Kag spinning very fast. Wait! What was that sound? He pulled Kag close as he moved them into the shadows of the alleyway.
"Did you see the?"
"Are you sure they went this way?"
"Of course, I'm sure!"
"Just checking. Jeez, don't get snappy with me because Mir is gonna flip when he finds out we didn't find 'em."
"Humph. It's not my fault."
"You're the one who said they went left, Henry!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Will you guys shaddup?"
They moved along and Inu eased up off Kag. They needed to get outta here before they were found. He grabbed her hand and practically dragged her out of the alley. He moved with ninja-like stealth as he lead the way back to the theater to collect his Escalade. There was NO way in HELL Mir was gonna touch his baby. Either of them that is.
But the Escalade needed to be protected::Cue hero music dum de da dum Inu's fist raised in heartfelt belief. Kag gives him a killer glare:
They slipped into the badass ride — which is untouched cuz Mir know better — and Inu hands Kag the scroll for her inspection. She reaches into her shirt and for a quick moment Inu drools, but she only withdraws a scroll from her shirt :Sweatdrop! Where was his mind: He starts driving and she compares the traitors' scroll to her AR membership tallies. He drives the Escalade around to the back of her 'Spot' and covers it with a SUV cover — no one can see/identify and thus harm his baby. Death would come soon! — They move a lot more leisurely as they go into the building and Inu realizes that he has never actually been inside and pays close attention.
Kag wastes no time in leading him up to the barracks. She flips on lights in a couple of the rooms and uses her reiki to amplify her voice as she moves down the hall. "All units report to the main hall! This is an emergency. I repeat an emergency. This is not a drill!" She goes down to this hall and marching onto the stage.
"I have become aware that some of our members are missing. Do any of you know where they are?" There were negative answers all around. "I'll tell you where they are! They are meeting with that traitorous San and Mir of the DDPack at my sweet shop! They are planning a mutiny and scheming to overthrow us! That is were your fellows are. And if any of you wish to leave: do so now because this is going to turn into an all out Gang War. So I'm telling you faint-hearts to leave now." She waited for any of them to leave and was pleased to see not a single person move towards the doors. Instead there were looks of anger. Anger was good.
"All right then. First on the agenda: this is InuYasha, Leader of the DDPack. We will be working with them to end this rebellion so get used to seeing him. Second, is: if you look around, you will note, that there are many empty spaces among us. Worry not. I know the traitors by name, they can not hide."
There was a loud cheer as the AR raised their fist and pledged their loyalty to their leader. They were ready for war.
