Blecch, I feel so low right now. High school is a bitch, as all of you know. High schoolno free time, so I've only just now gotten some time to update this story. It's not a very popular idea, apparently, but if you'd like to see more of Kouga in Sec. 9, then a few reviews would be nice. I know that it's not the best of stories, but ANY kind of constructive criticism would be nice, here.
Chap. 2
Kouga rolled his eyes as more screams met his ears. Sheesh, didn't these people know when to shut up? He had just finished his "slice" of ham, and wiped the left over meat juice on his left forearm. His eyelids lowered somewhat when a woman cracked her purse over his head, and still lower yet when some man in a concession stand threw a slab of beef into his face.
"I guess they haven't seen a wolf around here for a while…."
He turned upwards towards the sky. After mid noon…. He'd have to get shelter soon…
Kouga turned once again towards the hysteric humans running around like crazy, tripping over their own feet in their efforts to get away from him. Yep, they hadn't seen a demon in QUITE some time….
He leapt upwards, easily landing on the roof of one of the buildings. It probably wouldn't be any problem to steal more food from these humans, but it seemed like they were calling allies, and humans in too large of numbers were dangerous…
Even to one with his strength.
There was an odd whirring noise that was steadily getting louder as it, whatever it was, approached. Birds? No, even the blasted birds of paradise were never that loud…
The whirring was much louder now as strange metallic objects with spinning blades above it.
"Stop! This is the police!"
What the hell was wrong with that man's voice…it almost sounded like a demon's with lung cancer…
"Stay where you are, and we won't harm you…"
"Harm" him? Kouga outright laughed. "Do you think that puny humans can harm me?"
Motoko's POV
Motoko looked at the monitor from inside the chopper. "It looks like he's trying to say something…I'm going on down."
Batou smirked. "You want me to come down with you? If what Aramaki said was true, he may well be more than a match for you."
"I don't think that two armed police officers with tranquilizer guns are going to calm him. Besides, let me put it this way: do you think that he'd be more willing to talk to you, or a woman?" She said the last word seductively, emphasizing her point.
"Bah, do what you want." Batou dismissed her with a wave of his hand, shooing her away. "Just don't get yourself killed."
Ready for duty, Mr. Batou—
"Bah…" He hated when they barged into his thoughts like that…
Tachikomas ready for duty—
Bout time you got here. Listen, I need both of you to remain cloaked, and don't attack unless he attacks, got it?—
Okay, major.—
Aw, but that's no fun…--
Batou smiled. His tachikoma never ceased to amaze him and others with its willingness to fight. –Listen to the major, tachi. Last thing we need is an unnecessary death.—
Okay…-- Came the disappointment-filled reply.
"Take her down a bit!" Batou yelled to the pilot. The helmeted man nodded, and the chopper began a slow descent.
Kouga POV
The humans didn't answer his challenge. They were probably scared of directly fighting, but then why would they threaten him? He shook his head. This was all too confusing…
M's POV
Hm… how was she supposed to do this? This man, of whom they absolutely nothing of, seemed to be pondering something. He was pacing back and forth, his furred tail (natural or not, she was unsure) flicking side to side in what looked like annoyance and frustration.
From what she had seen, he hadn't noticed her drop to the roof. Of course, with that stupid chopper buzzing around, she wouldn't be able to hear him without getting close, and that could scare him off…
Batou. Pull the chopper back. I can't hear anything but that stupid thing, and I won't be able to talk to him.—
Acknowledged. The tachikomas are on the nearby buildings somewhere covering you. Nonetheless, you still need to be careful.—
Worrying a bit much, aren't you?—
Whatever.—
The sound of the engine started to fade as it flew away, though it would undoubtedly circle around in a wide radius. As reliable as the tachikomas were, another backup plan would never be out of the question, especially with the chief.
Kouga
Where had the humming gone… and what was that smell—
Oh.
The flying/buzzing metal thingy had flown off; he could see it as a speck in the distance. And they had left this strange purple-hair braud here. Who was she?
He looked her up and down quickly. A grey bodysuit that much resembled Sango's taija that he had seen her wear during battles, along with some style of suit jacket that he'd never seen before. In her right hand, there was some sort of black box thing with two prongs sticking out. A pathetic attempt at a weapon…. But the strangest thing about her was her eyes. They were…red, and purple. He had never seen such eyes…
Motoko
Well, there was only one way to break the silence. "Hello."
One of his eyebrows quirked.
Okay, this wasn't getting her anywhere…
"You wanted to say somethin'?"
His voice was strange, and heavily accented in a way that she had never heard before.
He sighed when she didn't answer, obviously a bit frustrated. "Look, are there any demon tribes around her that you know of?"
"Demon…?"
"Yeah, you know, like me?"
He gestured with his hands down his body, and ironically, she felt a slight blush come to her cheeks. This man, (or cyborg, rather, if that's what he was,) was incredibly muscular, though not so much that he looked like Batou or a body builder. Icy blue eyes, long black hair tied back in a pony tail, and furs/armor that only annunciated his figure…
"Um . . . uh…."
Shit.
"I guess there haven't been any around here for some time…" He turned away, facing towards the suburbs.
Wait… he might… "Wait!"
"Oh, so she DOES speak. I thought I was dealing with a mute there for a second…"
Somehow, she regained her composure. "Ha. Ha. I'm with the police force section nine. I've been asked to take you back to our headquarters for questioning."
"'For questioning'?" He laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"I never thought that a human, of all things, would demand something of me like this."
Had that guy just called her "human"? He wasn't a robber or a thief, like they had thought, he was just mentally ill.
"Nonetheless, you'll be coming with me…" Ooh, crap. The instant those words came out of her lips, she instantly regretted it.
The man laughed again, taking a fighting stance. "And you intend to make sure of it?"
"Only if need be…"
Major…? What are you doing….?—
Batou, let me concentrate!—
You heard what monkey face said! This guy could be...—
I know, just shut up and let me see if I can stun him with the taser…--
Be careful, we don't know what this guy can do…--
"Don't make me laugh. The only human that I know that could do any damage to a demon was Kagome, and she obviously ain't here right now." If she was anywhere that he could find her anyway…
Motoko sighed, pulling the taser out, hearing a light buzz when it was fully charged.
"Sorry to do this to you, but you need help." She pulled the trigger, and the two rods stuck into his skin, sending huge shocks into his body.
He fell down on one knee, gritting his teeth in pain.
That was odd…most men were screaming from the pain that was exerted from the high voltage. To her surprise, he actually rose, taking the two rods in his hands and yanking them out of his body.
"That was a nice trick, sweetie. But it didn't work. What kind of weapon is, this, anyway?"
Monoko's eyes widened. 20,000 volts had hardly fazed him… This guy must have had some incredible circuitry; usually a direct shock like that fried some of the machinery present in cyborgs. She'd need a better weapon for this…
Though at the moment, she hadn't brought her gun, the taser should have been enough.
"It's called a taser."
"Never heard of one, but it's like my dad always said: the best weapons are your fists."
At that comment, Monoko readied herself into a battle stance, expecting him to launch forward in an explosive wave of punches and attacks, but he did nothing. Just stood there. Was he waiting for her to attack first?
Major, do you want us to fire our tranquilizers?—
Monoko almost sighed in relief when she heard the robot's chipper voice. They had actually come up with a good plan for once…
Yes. Can you fire from that position…wherever you're positioned…--
Actually, I don't need to.—
What?—
CLANG!
Thud!
Kouga fell in a heap, as the tachikoma's cloaking device faded off, standing right behind where he had been in his fighting stance. "Wow, that man had a hard head." The tachikoma held up its mechanical arm, a good-sized dent where the "forearm" would be.
Motoko nearly laughed. Of all the random things that could happen to wrap up a mission…
Aramaki, we have him.—
Good work, major. Just in time for tea, too.—
She sighed, that man always had a crack of a joke up his sleeve…
Prepare a really good holding cell for him, electricity doesn't seem to affect him.—
Understood. We'll use one of the lower cells. Aramaki out.—
The helicopter came back, picking up the unconscious Kouga. She hoped that whack would help him regain his senses, that demon talk was sort of disturbing.
