Code Name: Dark Angel
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters.
Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing for all of my stories. I appreciate it. Keep it up! Well, here it is.
Hope it's good!
4- Split up and Captured
Kagome proceeded down the dark alley stealthily. She held her hand on top of her gun, which was still in its holster. She would only use it if she needed it.
Even though she was supposed to be searching for any signs of Naraku, her mind kept floating back to the subject of Inuyasha's safety.
She admitted to herself that she was worried about his well-being. He had agreed to help her after all, so it would be partially her fault if he got killed. But then again, it would be his fault also since he agreed to join her in her quest.
She was starting to feel a little nervous about the fact that they had decided to spit up in order cover more ground. It was starting to sound foolish to her, but in a strange way, reasonable, as well. At least they covered more ground and narrowed the hiding places down.
Unfortunately, it made it more dangerous.
She was completely aware of this fact, but she moved on. She just needed to find Naraku and get Sango and the jewel back. She just had to.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, illuminating the alley. She could see that she was not alone. Looking closer as lightning lit the sky up once again, she saw that they worked for someone, probably Naraku.
They took a step closer to her. They were wielding weapons, so, to even the score, Kagome took out her own and held it in front of her as they drew nearer. Rain began to patter against her, drenching her hair and clothing.
The men, however, paid no heed to the rain. They were only focusing on one thing; killing the Dark Angel.
They began to shoot at her, causing her to run for her life. She ducked behind a dumpster and peeked out every now and then to fire off a few rounds in an attempt to shoot them. She took out two men, but still had about seven left. Shooting constantly, she took out another and ran out of bullets. She cursed under her breath and took off running as they walked closer.
She did a front flip when they began firing at her again, dodging every bullet.
She dived out of the alley and began to race down the street, rain splashing against her face and lightning flashing in the sky. She heard them shooting behind her, so she ran into another alley and hid behind the dumpster there.
Jerking out her other gun, Kagome aimed and waited for them to emerge around the corner. As soon as one did, she fired off three shots, watching as his body shook when they made contact with him, killing him on the spot.
Another came around the corner and she fired, only to shoot him in the arm, losing her last bullets.
"Damn it!" She yelled, getting up and leaping up onto the dumpster. She then jumped up and grabbed the rooftop and pulled herself up and onto it. She ran across it and found the fire escape and climbed down it. She had to get a hold of Inuyasha so she could tell him that she thought that they should get out of there; their plan was not going well.
"Inuyasha!" She yelled into her watch. Before they had left, she had given him a watch so they could communicate with each other in a bad situation. "Inuyasha, can you hear me? What's going on with you?"
She listened and only heard shooting. Wherever he was, he must have been in a shootout. She pulled out her locator and tracked him down on it as she continued to run. She found him on the locator screen and arrived there.
She saw him racing toward her, shooting behind him at more men that had been dispatched for him. He turned and saw her and put his guns away on his sides. When he reached her, he did not stop, and instead, grabbed her hand and began dragging her along behind him.
"Inuyasha!" She cried when they ran into a parking lot and hid behind a cluster of cars. "I think we should just give it up. I'm out of ammo and there are way too many here for us to fight."
"I thought," He said as he shot at more men as they entered the parking lot, "you were some kind of great fighter. Now's your chance to prove it to me."
"Um," Kagome pointed out as she watched one of his bullets come in contact with one of the men's right shoulder, "They have guns. All I have is a knife and empty guns. They would kill me before I could even make it up to them to punch them."
"Kagome," Inuyasha said irritably and tiredly, "Shut up and do it. I'll cover you. Promise."
Kagome figured that it would be all right to trust his word, so she ran toward the men, leaving the safety of the car that was being shot at. She heard Inuyasha shooting behind her and knew that he was shooting at the men in front of her.
Once she made it to one of them, she thrust the bottom of her hand upward toward his nose, breaking it. She knew it broke because she heard the nasal cartilage crack. She dropped his gun and grasped his nose in pain. Kagome bent down quickly and grabbed the gun and shot him a few times in the stomach and chest.
She then turned around and shot two more men until she ran out of ammo. She tossed the gun aside and gasped when one of the men grabbed her around her neck and began to put pressure. She grabbed his arm and flipped him over her shoulder. He made a heavy 'thud' against the pavement. She then grabbed his arm and twisted it until it broke.
Kagome watched as Inuyasha shot the rest of the men down. He walked up to her and smirked, "Impressive," He said.
"I…told…ya…so…" She breathed.
"Well, I think that's enough for one night, let's get outta here-" He broke off when he looked behind Kagome and seen more men. "Yeah, let's run."
Kagome looked behind her and saw them and took off running, Inuyasha right behind her. They ran down the street and stopped right at the edge of a construction site. "We need to get back to the museum somehow." Kagome said breathlessly.
"But how?" He asked.
"I know!" Kagome turned and looked at the metal bars of the building being made, "We'll climb up there and run. Come on!"
Inuyasha groaned, but followed her, nonetheless.
Kagome had just reached a nearby dumpster when she heard a bloodcurdling scream and a crash. She turned around and found that Inuyasha had been shot in the leg once again and had fallen into a group of tin trashcans. She took a step toward him, wanting to assist him somehow.
He looked up and shook his head at her actions, "No! Just go, Ka-Dark Angel!" He kept himself from revealing her true identity, "Forget about me! Save yourself!"
"No! You're coming with me." She ran forward and wrapped her arm around his and tried to hoist him up to his feet. Much to her surprise, he jerked out his gun and aimed at her head, "Go or you'll die at my hands."
Kagome gasped and stared at him in shock.
"Go!" He yelled, "I'll be all right! I'll turn my locator on."
Kagome glanced up at the men approaching her and Inuyasha and nodded, "Ok. But I'm coming for you."
"Ok."
She turned and ran unwillingly as Inuyasha watched through tears of pain. She ran and leapt up onto a barrel before jumping up onto the dumpster and climbed onto the first level before pulling herself up onto the second level. She gained momentum as she immediately dived up onto the third level.
Inuyasha glanced at the men surrounding him in indifference as he bled on the alley floor. He was unsure of what they had planned for him.
"Shoot her!" A familiar voice rang out. Too familiar. Naraku. "No," Inuyasha protested weakly. He looked back at Naraku and saw, in what seemed to be slow motion, a man next to Naraku hit one knee, take aim, and fire two rounds at Kagome's retreating form. The shots seemed to echo forever in the alley as one of the shots found a mark. He saw her body jerk. She lost her footing, hanging from the third level ledge.
She tried to regain her balance and succeeded in doing so. She pulled herself up weakly and stood on her feet. She turned to look at Inuyasha, tears in her eyes.
'Go,' He mouthed to her. 'Be careful.' He also mouthed something else that she could not make out, so, despite the pain in her back, she turned and ran, tears streaming from her eyes.
From where Inuyasha lay, he smiled a little, knowing that she was safe and had gotten away. But he could not help but feel afraid for himself now that he was alone and in Naraku's hands.
Naraku came up behind Inuyasha, aiming his gun at the injured man's head. "You are pathetic, Inuyasha." He said. "How could you have fallen in love with the enemy?"
Inuyasha jerked his head up, "What? I don't like her, or even love her!"
"Well, whatever the case," Naraku said evilly, "You'll never see her alive again." And after that, He slammed his gun against the back of Inuyasha's head, knocking him out cold.
Kagome sat, huddled up against the wall of the construction building. Even though Inuyasha had told her to run, she could not bring herself to do so. She was staying there so she could see if he had gotten killed or not. She hadn't heard any gunshots after she had run off, so, that was a good sign. And on the locator, his signal was moving.
She pulled herself to her feet, deciding that she needed to get cleaned up, and dragged herself back to the museum where Miroku decided to comment upon her current condition.
"Man, Kagome," He said as he cleaned the wound with a wet rag, "they sure got you good."
Kagome winced as he put pressure against her back, "Shut up. I'm not really in the mood." She pulled out the locator and looked for Inuyasha'a signal. It had stopped and she eyed it so long until she felt dizzy.
"Sorry. You need to rest for a few-" Miroku began, but Kagome cut him off.
"No! I'm going to find Inuyasha whether you want me to or not. You could even join me if you like." She said, "But I understand why you would want to stay behind."
"I'll take it into consideration. But, bat woman, I think you should rest until tonight." Miroku said, chuckling a bit.
"Fine. But when nighttime comes," She paused, a sparkle in her eyes, "I'm going straight to an old friend for help."
