Gangs of the City

Tea and lunch

Toushi handed Kagome a cup full of brimming tea before sitting down again. His eyes drifted over Inuyashas frame. He couldn't believe he was sitting in front of the one and only Inuyasha!

"What's wrong old man?" Inuyasha growled.

Toushi shook his head, "Nothing I didn't mean to stare, its just that demons are rare and I never knew that I would be sitting next to one, let alone the leader of a gang." A smirk danced across InuYasha's face.

"I'm glad to see you again Kagome." Toushi said sweetly to Kagome.

She smiled softly at him, "I'm glad to see you to, but we must get going. I'll come back and visit you though."

"I would be honored." he said humbly.

Kagome stood to leave but paused. "Oh Toushi?"

"Yes chilled?"

"Before I go may InuYasha and I have your blessing? It would mean the world to me!"

Toushi turned once again to take in the tall fearsome hanyou then smiled. "Couldn't have found a better man. You have my blessing!" Kagome laughed and wrapped her arms around the aging man.

"Thank you Toushi! I'll be back soon, I promise!"

"See you around old man." InuYasha said with a wave.

"Were the fuck are they?!" fumed a worried Sango.

"Calm down Sango! You shouldn't worry so much...it's unattractive." Sango growled at the monk.

"Don't start with me Miroku!" she warned. Miroku sighed and then caught sight of two familiar figures heading their way.

"About time! What happened?"

Kagome smiled. "Oh just catching up, told him everything, and man did it feel good!"

"Good, I'm happy for you!"

"Thanks Sango!"

"Oh, so now your happy for her, where as before you were talking about leaving without them." Miroku muttered to himself. Sango fixed Miroku with a deadly gaze impairing his speech.

"Can we go now?" InuYasha groaned.

"A fine idea my friend, lets hit the road!" and with that they were off to lunch.

"Table for four please." Kagome asked the waitress politely.

"Right this way Miss." The woman said with a pleasant smile. The gang fallowed their waitress into the dimly lit restaurant.

"You know a simple café would have worked fine Inuyasha." said Miroku as he glanced around the dark restraint.

"I use to go here all the time it's my favorite place to eat so shut it!" the Inu hanyou shot back.

"Sorry!" Miroku said quietly with a roll of the eyes. Kagome smiled and wrapped her arm around Inuyasha.

"I kinda like it. It's certainly unique..."

Each table was separated by a thin wall made of paper. From the ceiling hung long curtains, giving each table an even more private feel. The walls were painted a dark red and the furniture was black.

The waitress lead them all to a table in the far back. After they were all seated she quickly brought out a pad and pen to write down their orders. "Your menus and your waiter should be here soon to get you your drinks." she informed them and with a quick and short bow she left them. Kagome nodded her head slightly with a smile.

"Man this is nice" said Inuyasha, he couldn't remember the last time he had been out. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and discreetly slipped her hand into his, giving it a small comforting squeeze.

A young man walked up to the table wearing a white button down shirt and black pants with an apron around his waist. "Good evening my name is Daniel I'll be your waiter, shall we start off with drinks?" he asked the group.

"You know a simple café would have worked fine Inuyasha."

A pair of brilliantly red eyes darted up from the gruesome novel that had previously drawn its captor in. Inuyasha?

"I use to go here all the time it's my favorite place to eat so shut it!"

"Sorry."

"I kinda like it. It's certainly unique..." said a female voice.

Her eyes scanned the peoples faces. It couldn't be, but yet in ways they looked just like them. Her eyes closed softly as she probed the group gently with her mind, yes the same scent and feel, it was there but hidden. That was Inuyasha all right.

What was she to do? Should she call Naraku and alert him of their presence? Naraku..... she cringed at his name. No she hated that man, at any chance she would kill him. He had Kanna and if she did betray him, not only would he kill her, but Naraku's wrath would find her and eat her soul and body alive.

Her gaze drifted over the group once more. She gazed upon the man who she believed to be Miroku, Inuyashas main man, as his handed ever slowly inched towards Sangos bottom. There was a lowed smack, filled with pleasant laughter, as his on looking friends shook their heads at his antics. A warm blush was spread across Sango's furious features.

The seen brought a smile to her lips..... She had never experienced a friendship like that. She had been in Narakus clutches all her life. What she longed for most was freedom. She would do anything to get it.

"We can help you?" The girl sitting beside Inuyasha turned her head and stared deeply into her eyes.

"You're Kagura, right?" The girl questioned. Kagura was too shocked to do anything else but nod. At the mentioning of her name the rest of table had gone silent, a soft growl could be herd from Inuyasha; his glare told her he was ready to kill.

Kagome lifted her hand and placed it gently on Inuyashas arm, to settle him, before turning back to Kagura "He's forcing you to work for him isn't he?"

Another nod.

"Well we can help you. I'm a Miko, you know, I can take the spell on you off." she said a matter-of-factly.

"He has my heart! And Kanna!.... How could you possibly help me?" Kagura exclaimed.

Kagome sighed. "If you help us defeat Naraku, we will help you in return."

"You know I'm under a spell.... and if you did brake it he would know." she told her.

Kagome nodded in understanding. "All you have to do is think it, and I'll know it."

(a/n: I'm giving Kagome a little more power then you're all use to so please don't get mad)

"What do you want to know?" Kagura asked finally seeing that this might be the only way to be free of Naraku.

"As much as you can tell us." Kagome replied.
