Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha. Actually, I own absolutely nothing Inu Yasha related. Hmm . . . so I guess I'm not qualified for that crazy fan girl club. Oh well. More time to sit on my bum and do nothing.
Mutant Four
Chapter 4
Sango opened her eyes only to close them once more against the blinding light. She opened her eyes once more to a blurry image she immediately tried to clarify by using an age old scientific tradition. In other words, she blinked a bunch of times. Once able to see, she looked around the room.
There was only one word that went through her mind as she observed her surroundings. White. How she hated that color! It reminded her so much of that horrible day. Everything had been white. The walls, lab coats, even the furniture had been white. And was the first thing she saw when she woke up to be a new person. A bat-woman.
I could have lived in Gotham with Batman and fight evil card playing wackos. I can just imagine it. I would wear one of those skintight, slutty costumes with one of those short skirts that surprisingly never fly up. Like the rest of the female superheros Sango mused.
Suddenly she got this horrible itch on her nose and on instinct attempted to raise her arm in order to scratch it. Key word here is attempted. She looked down trying to find out what was preventing her arm's mission to her nose. Apparently, so asnot to harm her wings they had tied a chain around her torso, arms included. How considerate of them she thought sarcastically.
Sango heard some noise and turn to face her companions. They groaned, blinked then complained loudly when they found themselves incapable of moving their arms much. One of the loudest complainers was Miroku until he remembered that he could still grope Sango with his feet.
Kagome and Miroku had your average handcuffs while Inu Yasha had some reinforced handcuffs that were at least a few inches thick. Unfortunately he couldn't break them though he could easily break everyone else's if he was able to.
Seeing that Kagome was slightly scared by their present situation, Inu Yasha wriggled his way over to her to offer comfort from his presence, letting her know that he was there to protect her. Realizing what he was doing, Kagome wriggled close enough to him so that she could lean on him.
"Sango, since Inu Yasha and Kagome are getting cozy, why don't we cuddle too?" proposed Miroku trying to get closer to her. Sango glared at him, wishing she had her hands free if only for a minute. Wait! She had feet, didn't she? With this thought she promptly kicked him in the face, effectively knocking him over.
"Pervert," Sango muttered.
The bright white door swung open to reveal Sesshoumaru, a toad look alike and four guards. As the white-haired man walked in, he gave them each a cold stare. Trailing after him was the human toad who was pushing in a slide projector easily twice his size. The four zombies in suits each walked to one of the prisoners who were going to be forced to listen to their boss's presentation whether they like it or not.
"Jaken, turn off the lights," ordered Sesshoumaru in a steely tone.
"Y-yes! Of course sir!" Jaken stuttered as he ran to the light switch beside the door. As soon as the room was dark, he set the projector up and Sesshoumaru started speaking.
"As you already know, this Sesshoumaru requires your help." Here he pulled out a remote control seemingly out of nowhere and pressed a button. A picture of a tall, greasy haired man with red eyes appeared on the white wall. He was wearing a prim suit that showed his obvious wealth and made you wonder why he didn't bother to wash his hair every once in a while. He had a cold expression that could rival Sesshoumaru's if it wasn't for the fact that his was a little less stoic.
"This man is called Naraku. He's the leader of the biggest, most influential gang that has been known to be ruthless and cold-blooded murderers. They have been causing about 85 of the crime in Japan and must be stopped. Unfortunately, they're not blundering idiots like most gangs and it's difficult to collect any information. Whether their members are loyal out of fear or respect, it is unclear but it's near to impossible to get anything out of them not to mention, anything decent.
"This is where you come in. Not only does this Sesshoumaru want them taken down but they have also stolen something . . . special to this Sesshoumaru. Now, this Sesshoumaru shall depart for he grows weary of explaining the situation. You will be given an hour's time to take in all that has been said and to discuss the situation among yourselves. Don't worry about being overheard or spied upon for this Sesshoumaru couldn't care less of what you speak."
And with that he left taking the toad creature, who was steering the slide projector, and the guards with him.
"Making that creepy thing bring that in to show us one measly picture? Pathetic," stated Inu Yasha. It was, in his own way, an attempt to lighten the mood that had become dark at the mention of Naraku's name.
"I don't think we should decide whether to join him right now," Kagome advised in a soft voice. Everyone's eyes were on her.
"Are you crazy? Here's a chance to get the jerk back for all he did to us!" yelled Sango in outrage. If she could, she'd be storming around the room in her anger.
"I agree with Kagome," Miroku said in said girl's defense. "This isn't the kind of decision you make in an hour. I think we should get out of here, find some place to stay and come back when we have an answer."
"Kagome, would you see what you can do about these handcuffs?" asked Inu Yasha. Though he did not say it, it was obvious that he agreed with Kagome and Miroku. Sango huffed angrily and glared at the wall opposite her.
Kagome turned to look at Inu Yasha's wrists then turned herself around. "These are password handcuffs so that's why there isn't any keyhole. There's a certain button that I have to press and a screen like a hologram will come up. Now, all I have to do is hack into the security system and voila! They come off!" Kagome said this while using her imprisoned hands to hack into the handcuffs system. With a click they came off.
Inu Yasha quickly flexed his fingers before turning around and picking the lock on Kagome's handcuffs. Then he went to Sango and slashed her chains with one claw. He didn't spare Miroku so much as a second glance as he roughly yanked his handcuffs off, causing Miroku to fall backwards.
Rubbing his wrists, he exclaimed, "Hey! Why does Kagome get special treatment?"
"Feh," was Inu Yasha's reply.
"I should have known he was going to say that," muttered Miroku. Sango just rolled her eyes as they followed Inu Yasha out.
They entered a hallway which just so happened to be white like the room they came out of. Inu Yasha looked along the length of the hallway and after seeing no guards turned to the left and went down the hallway.
"Hey!" Miroku called as they ran to catch up. "How do you know this is the right way? You can't go any which way you please!" In response, Inu Yasha pointed a claw to sign that clearly said helicopter pad with an arrow pointing in the direction they were going. "He he," Miroku laughed nervously. "I knew that."
Suddenly a loud buzzing noise went off. Frantically, the four looked around only to see a hidden camera on the ceiling overhead. They ran off toward the helicopter pad but not before Miroku stuck his tongue out at the camera and made an L shape using his thumb and finger against his forehead.
They reached a door with a helicopter symbol on it and pulled it opened it just as the guards rounded the corner. They ran to a conveniently placed shiny, silver helicopter that was quite large and obviously meant for military purposes.
Inu Yasha helped Kagome in as Miroku started the engine and Sango set up her maps and radar. They lifted off the ground with a guard hanging on who promptly lost his grip and fell on another agent under him.
"Sango, poor Kaede is old and lives all on her lonesome," Miroku said with a wide grin.
"She must be very lonely and might appreciate some extra help," responded Sango with an equally large smile.
"I don't think she'd mind if we went and visited her . . . "
"...and crashed at her place for a couple of nights," Sango completed for him.
"Sango dear, we are truly meant for one another," stated Miroku dreamily. Sango's eye twitch and Inu Yasha and Kagome just shook their heads, amused.
And with that, they went flying off into the sunset . . . and pollution.
-End of Chapter 4-
All I have to say is FINALLY! I had a hard time writing the beginning of this chapter because I wasn't in 'the zone'. You know, the one where you're able to write for hours on end without stopping? Trust me. It's hard getting into 'the zone'. Oh, and I had stuff to do.
IMPORTANT!
I need ideas! I've got a rough outline of what's going to happen and the ending planned out but I need to get the finer details! Don't hold back any ideas you think would be good! I'll consider all ideas! So email me or tell me in a review!
Oh, and speaking of which, I saw this story with three chapters and 40 reviews (can't blame them: it was a romance and written well, but still!) and now I feel sort of depressed . . . So review and tell me what you think! Was it good? Did it stink more than your dog when he comes home from a park with a lake after rolling in poo and mud? I honestly want to know!
Bye!
