3- What a blast

Previously

Kagome and Inuyasha's eyes met for a brief second before they nodded and kicked the down the door…

Now

They had their guns pointed inside of the old shack, but they saw no one inside. Only old, beaten up furniture lingered, but no Naraku, Kagura, or Sango. Kagome lowered her weapon in disappointment, "Man. I guess they had figured that I would've caught up to you sooner or later and make you spit out their hiding spot."

Inuyasha had already put his gun away and was rummaging through the shack, searching for anything that might've been left behind, "They're smarter than you think."

Kagome put her gun away and began to help him look, "I know that." She replied, "The question is, how smart?"

"Smart enough," Inuyasha answered. "They're good with the element of surprise and sneak attacks. But, they're pretty dumb if they left these." He pulled out two handguns from the closet he was searching. "They're loaded."

Kagome walked up to him and took one from him. "That's good. We're going to need all the ammunition we can get."

Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah."

They began to look some more only to come up with a knife and another handgun. "Here," Inuyasha said, "Take the knife in case you run out of bullets. You need it more than I do."

"You," Kagome said with a smirk as she took the sharp knife form his large hands, "have obviously never seen me fight."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes before saying, "It's almost morning. Shouldn't you go somewhere and hide from the light, bat girl?"

"Ha ha," Kagome said wittily, "You're coming with me,"

"I am?" He asked, flabbergasted.

"Yes. We need to figure out what we're going to do next if we're going to bring Naraku down." She answered before turning and walking away, Inuyasha trailing after her.

"We have the jewel, so why can we not kill her?" Demanded a very distressed woman.

"Kagura," Naraku sighed evenly, "Calm yourself."

"But, we have what we desire! Shouldn't we kill her already?" Kagura was growing impatient.

"No," Naraku answered, fingering the jewel between his fingers, "That woman Dark Angel will come after us, I know. And when she does, we'll have a hostage."

Kagura smirked, "Great idea, Naraku."

In the room next door, Sango was tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth. Drying tearstains were streaked across her pale and dirty face as she struggled to rip her arms out of the ropes that were cutting into her flesh.

She soon stopped when she found the situation hopeless and relaxed against the chair where she began sobbing some more from fear. She prayed that someone would come and save her soon.

Kagome and Inuyasha were still walking down the sidewalk, the rays of the sun appearing above the buildings' rooftops. "This way," Kagome said as they turned left and walked a little ways before stopping in front of the museum.

"Why are we coming back here?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said softly, turning around to look at him as they stopped at the entrance.

"What?" He wanted to know.

"Shut up." Kagome turned and tugged on the door. It was locked so she pulled the left sleeve of her jacket back, revealing a weird looking watch, "Miroku, it's me. Open up."

Inuyasha just stared at her like she had just walked off of a space ship from another planet, but stopped when the door opened and Kagome walked in. He followed after her.

They walked for a little bit and stopped inside of the room where Inuyasha had been shot the night before. Kagome sat down next to Miroku, who was still a little tired from the robbery the night before. "Hey," She said, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey." He said shortly. "What is he doing here?" He demanded heatedly, jumping up and glaring at Inuyasha.

"It's ok," Kagome assured him softly, "He's with me. He didn't want to have anything to do with that, trust me." She removed the mask that covered her eyes.

Inuyasha looked stunned. He had no idea what she looked like without that mask on because, to him, she was known as Dark Angel. He had no clue what her real name was or what she looked like. "Whoa. So, what's your name?"

The Dark Angel looked up at him with her brown eyes, piercing yet caring. "Kagome. Tell anyone else and I'll have to kill you."

Inuyasha tossed his hands up defensively, "No problem."

She smiled before turning to look at Miroku. "Are you all right?" She inquired gently.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Any word on Sango or anything?" He asked eagerly.

Kagome simply shook her head sadly. "No, I'm sorry. Not yet. Naraku left his old hiding spot and went to a new one. We don't have any leads."

He lowered his gaze, "Oh."

"The museum is closed, isn't it? Can we stay here during the day?" Kagome wanted to know.

"Yes, it's closed because of the stolen artifact and Sango's kidnapping. I didn't call the cops, though. And it's also closed because you aren't working here today either." He paused and sighed, "Yes, you can stay here during the day."

"Wait," Inuyasha said suddenly, "So, you work here?"

"There's a lot of things," Kagome said as she walked into the lobby where they served coffee and snacks for employees, "that you still don't know about me."

"Wait! Maybe you can tell me more about you." Inuyasha called as he followed her.

Kagome got herself a soda from the fridge while Inuyasha got a snickers bar. "Well," Kagome said after she drank some of her soda, "My parents died when I was about fifteen-murdered right in front of me because some jackass was robbing my house and we were all home. I started working here when I was seventeen and decided that I would find that bastard who killed my parents. So I did, but I disguised myself so no one would find out who captured him. I found him and got him sent to jail where he died in prison. Someone saw me and gave me my name. I've been Dark Angel ever since."

"Oh." Inuyasha said. He was eyeing a picture that was hanging on the wall behind her. "Harsh."

"What about you?" Kagome asked, finishing her soda.

"My mom and dad died when I was about, I don't know, ten. And my bro took care of me, but we hate each other. That's basically it. Other than the fact that you sent me to jail."

"All right, enough already! I get it. You're still peeved at me 'cause I sent you. I said I was sorry." Kagome exclaimed.

He finished his candy and threw the wrapper in the trash. "I'm beat, where can I sleep?"

"There's a couch in the next room over. Sleep well. We've got to leave tonight and see if we can find any leads on Naraku." Kagome informed him.

"All right." He replied.

"Oh, wait!" Kagome said, jumping up and handing him something round. "It's so we can keep up with each other. If you can't find me, turn it on and you can locate me."

He rolled his eyes, "Whatever." Then he walked away and went into the next room.

Kagome sighed. What a jerk. She sat down in her chair again and leaned her head back. In a way, she hated having him for a partner, but she knew that she needed him. After a few minutes, sleep over took her.

Darkness flooded the world, filling it with its cold depths. Rain was pattering hard everywhere. Under the golden halos of the streetlights, the rain seemed to fall even harder. Kagome and Inuyasha walked down the pitch-black alleyway side-by-side.

They only that was heard was the pattering of the rain and their footsteps and the occasional car that passed by, honking its horn loudly for no apparent reason. "Where do you think they could be?" Kagome asked, referring to Sango and her captors.

"I don't know," Came Inuyasha's reply, "They could be anywhere."

Kagome narrowed her eyes at the guy that was now in front of her. He was a little taller than her, "I know that, I'm not stupid!"

Inuyasha smirked, "Well, you're smart enough not to fall off roofs at night, I'll give you that much."

Kagome glared up at him, a low growl rumbling inside of throat. But suddenly, sirens wailed loudly as a fire truck raced by along with two cop cars.

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other, their argument forgotten, and nodded before headed off after the vehicles. When they arrived at the scene, they found that the firemen were frantically trying to put out the fire that had engulfed the old Nightclub-the same club Kagome and Inuyasha had been in a night before.

Police were scrambling about, trying to figure out how is started or who had started it.

"Naraku," Inuyasha said coldly.

"Kagura," Kagome added as she examined everything that was going on. Why would Naraku set the Nightclub on fire? He had what he wanted and there was no reason to burn the club down. Was he just doing it for fun? Kagome let her gaze run over everything, including the gas station right beside of the club where she noticed the trail of oil that was running toward the gas tanks.

The fire was already burning the oil and was going down the trail toward the tanks, too. Kagome felt her heart lurch and her legs felt wobbly. She wanted to move, but felt she couldn't. "I-Inuyasha," She said through numb lips.

He looked at her and saw that something was wrong. He followed her gaze and realized the same thing. But, unlike Kagome, he could move. He ran toward to police officers and yelled, "Hey! You gotta put that fire out at the gas tanks, quick!"

The police officers turned and one smirked, "Well, well, well. If it isn't our little buddy, Inuyasha. Trying to frame someone, are we?"

"Hell no," Inuyasha said acrimoniously, "I'm trying to keep you from dying, moron."

The officer was infuriated by this remark and he grabbed Inuyasha by the wrists, twisted him around and flung him up against the back of his car. "What'd you call me? I could get you arrested for assaulting a cop." He was lying, of course, but he hated Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was struggling to get loose, all to no avail.

Kagome managed to force herself to walk and stepped out of the shadows. "That's enough!" She cried. "He's trying to warn you of danger and here you are, trying to arrest him!"

The officer let Inuyasha go instantly and looked at Kagome almost as if she were an angel who had just emerged from heaven. "What d-danger?" He stammered.

"Over there," Kagome motioned toward the trail, "You better put that fire out before it follows the oil trail and blows those tanks up."

The firefighters had heard her and busily went to clean up while Kagome and Inuyasha turned away, their work finished. But, as they did, they took notice of a note that was attached to one of the tanks. Kagome went over and picked it up in her shaky hands. It read:

Dark Angel,

If you're reading this, well then, I give you my farewell whishes. I am certain that you, Inuyasha, and everyone else there are about to have a blast.

Naraku and Kagura.

Kagome dropped the note and let it flutter down toward the wet pavement. She looked down and saw a bomb stuck between the two gas tanks. The trail of oil had been nothing more than a distraction to keep them from seeing the bomb, which would have resulted in their death. "Run! Everyone, get out of here now! There is a bomb!"

Everyone looked panicked, but they took off. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand in his and they raced off as far away as possible. They weren't far away when it blew up, getting extra momentum from the gas tanks. The extreme force threw Inuyasha and Kagome to the ground. They still held hands, however, and covered their heads. Once the debris stopped flying, they sat up.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who was shaking pretty badly. "Are you all right?" He asked.

"I'm fine." Kagome replied. "Just a little shaken up. Come on, let's get back to the museum."

They arrived back at the museum and just sat in the lobby, eating. Neither one of them said anything for a long time. Not until Inuyasha said, "I think we should split up tomorrow night. It might be a lot easier."

Kagome had been growing desperate, so she said, "Ok, sure. As long as we're both on full alert."

He nodded, "I will be. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Kagome replied, watching him as he left the room and went to sleep on the couch. She sighed and decided to get some sleep, too. She had no idea that, the next night, their idea wouldn't work quite well…
