Inuyasha felt his heart pound tremendously as they turned the corner towards her house.
This was it. The moment he'd been waiting for. The moment he would finally apologize properly, and give her the gift he'd worked so hard to get.
But the moment never came.
Instead, he found an array of cops standing outside the house, several cars parked with the lights flashing.
The limo stopped at the curb and Inuyasha hopped out, taking off at a run towards Mrs. Higurashi, whom was talking with one of the officers.
On the way he saw Nobuka talking with some other people that Inuyasha recognized as neighbors. He didn't even see him pass by. Probably wouldn't have recognized him either, even if he tried.
When he finally got to Mrs. Higurashi, she didn't even recognize him.
"Inuyasha? Is that you?"
"Yeah, where's Kagome?" He asked, his heart beating again, for a different reason. For some reason unknown, he had snatched the bag with the jewelry out of the car as he walked. He wanted to keep it close for when he found her.
"She was waiting outside for the limo to show up, and some men pulled up and grabbed her. We don't know why anyone would take her!"
I know why. Inuyasha thought to himself. This is Kagome we're talking about. She always finds some way to tick someone off so they want revenge. Great…
"Hey, Inuyasha! There you are!" Another voice said.
Kouga came into his view. "'Bout time you got here."
Her turned his attention away from Inuyasha, as it seemed Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to him, and began to speak with Mrs. Higurashi.
"We think we know who took Kagome ma'am."
"You do?"
"Just recently a student at her school was arrested for possession of narcotics. Apparently a Janitor found the kid with the drugs. This kid happens to be a leader of a dangerous new yakuza gang here in Tokyo, named the Hakuchi's. We believe that upon his getting arrested, his gang found out that Kagome knew the Janitor in question, and they kidnapped her to attract his attention. They want the Janitor there."
Inuyasha's fists clenched. It was his fault. Some human kids had kidnapped her because he got one of them arrested. It was all his fault.
Inuyasha turned and fled, ignoring the remarks of Kouga and Mrs. Higurashi. His nose worked endlessly as he ran, sniffing about the catch Kagome's scent.
He found it, just a few feet away. It was strong in one spot, and strangely kept strong as he followed the scent. It was as if she had walked her way down the street, not been kidnapped.
He wasn't sure how long he ran. His feet hurt, but he didn't dare stop. The hand holding the jewelry was deeply fisted, to the point that he was cutting into his own palm with his nails, through the bag.
He clenched his eyes, straining to make sure he kept onto Kagome's scent. He wouldn't let her pay for his stupid mistake.
The scent led him towards an old warehouse, where it continued past the front gate and into the place.
It was easy to hop over the fence. Demons had high jumping ranges.
It wasn't so easy, however, to get through the front door. It was locked.
"Damn." He whispered to himself, glancing around. He needed a way in. And he didn't want to make a loud entrance as he usually did. He had no idea what would be waiting for him on the other side of the door.
His eyes caught a broken window a short distance away.
Inu glanced inside, but saw no one. It was a simple room with the door closed, and his nose told him no one had been inside for a while.
He slipped through, no even bothering with the dirt that caught to his pants and jacket, and stood, examining the room. He was in a storage shed inside the factory. He could tell from the smell of old oil and metal. It smelled like a car in here.
Quietly, he crept to the door and placed his hand on the door knob.
His ears picked up movement outside the door, and words.
"How long we need to wait?" One voice asked, a grimy, scratchy voice.
"Just long enough 'til the guy shows up. If he doesn't, we'll just kill the girl and dump her somewhere." Said another voice.
"Can we just erase her memories or something? Ikpah doesn't want to kill the girl."
"We've no choice. We don't need to switch disguises again. That means reregistering ourselves at the Migration office."
"That's so annoying."
"Hey guys, Miloh says he spotted a human coming in through the front gate. He thinks someone's inside."
"Oh really? We'd better find him then. Let's spread out."
The voices sort of faded off there, and Inuyasha was left thinking.
Human? They thought he was human. Plus, in his experience, humans didn't call each other human. They might say person, him or her, but never human. That was a demon's vocabulary for a simple person like a human. Who were these people?
Inuyasha opened the door quietly.
His eyes scanned the area outside the door, but saw no one.
He figured he was safe.
Upon opening the door, his eyes instantly caught to some movement, and before he knew it bullets were whizzing his direction.
'What kind of guns are these?' Inuyasha thought to himself. The normal guns he'd used yesterday didn't shoot this many bullets at one time. This was weird.
He decided his best bet was to take down the man with the gun. Otherwise, he'd look like that weird cheese Kagome had introduced them to, with all the holes in it.
He didn't want to look like cheese.
Inu took off at a run and kicked the man in the face, knocking him completely out.
His gun hit the floor, as the noise brought out even more people with guns. He defeated them simply, and picked up one of the heavy guns from the floor. It took both hands to work it, he'd figured out, just by the way the men had held it.
In a spur of the moment thought, he pulled the trigger, and sent an array of bullets into the wall.
It scared the hell out of him, but it made him realize something. If he had this kind of weapon in the Fuedal Era, he would have been able to defeat all the demons will little trouble, and become a real demon himself. Why hadn't Kagome given him one of these in the past? These things were fun, and useful.
He recovered from his fright and headed on, the gun close to his side.
Kagome's scent was more powerful in here than anywhere else.
She was definitely in here somewhere.
Her scent led him to a closed room, in which he had to break the door in.
Inside, Kagome sat in a curled ball, her hands and feet tied, and her mouth gagged. The dress she wore had probably been quite pretty once. It was a pretty blue dress that reached her ankles, rather puffed out like a hut of some kind in light blue silk and white designed guaze. Her hair had also been done at one point, but now several curls fell around her clearly frightened face. The makeup over her eyes was smeared, and lines of black ran down her cheeks, showing the trail of her tears.
A quick flick of his wrist undid the rope holding her down, and she pulled away the gag herself. He helped her up, forgetting for the moment that he didn't look like Inuyasha.
"Are you…James Bond or something?" Kagome asked after a few moments of them staring at each other.
Inuyasha cocked a brow.
"James Bond?"
"You don't know who James Bond is?"
He shook his head.
"Oh, well then, who are you?"
A sound off in the distance caught his attention. He turned towards it, making sure she was behind him and his gun was out in full view. He tossed the bag behind him.
"This is for you. You'd better like it dammit."
He heard the ruffling of the package, and then the soft click as the box was opened.
Kagome gasped.
"It's beautiful."
"You like it?"
"Of course, it's gorgeous."
"Good."
"But I can't take this."
At this Inuyasha's agitation began to reach it's peak.
"Why not!"
He couldn't turn around to see the expression on her face. He was too worried about who else was in this ware house.
"Were you the one I was to meet at the restaurant."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry. I can't accept anything you have to give me. You see, I really like someone else. I thought it was him, considering how much he's been away, but now that I see you, I know it's not him."
"Him….? Kagome…Who the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha's furry was overwhelming.
He could hear the furry rumbling up in Kagome too.
"Don't call me by my name so freely! And HE happens to be the man I fell in love with on my travels!"
"Who the hell have you been traveling with?" Inuyasha shouted, turning on Kagome. He no longer cared about who might come from behind. This was more important.
"I don't need to tell a stranger like you!"
"Oh…So I'm a stranger now, eh?"
"I've never before met you in my life! Of course you're a stranger."
At this, Inuyasha's eyes widened. He stared at her, wondering if he saved the right girl. It looked like Kagome. Then….?
"Ah, there you are!" A voice said from behind. Inuyasha whirled, the gun in his hands.
A sudden force took the gun and tossed it out the doorway, as people began to flood into the room they were standing in. Inuyasha pressed Kagome towards the wall, to make sure she was behind him.
All of these men had guns, and there were at least thirty of them.
One of them stepped out in front of them, his hand stretched out to look like a long tentacle. Inuyasha figured that he had grabbed the gun and tossed it, with such a long hand.
"You are….?" Inuyasha snorted, glaring at the man.
The man smirked. "Hakuchi. Or, at least the elder Hakuchi. It was my brother that got arrested. You wouldn't happen to be a friend of the Janitor that got him arrested would you? Don't tell me that coward sent you to save this girl."
Inuyasha spat. "I am that Janitor."
"Oh really? I was under the impression he was blonde with blue eyes?"
"I change my hair color a lot."
"So that's where we met!" Kagome shouted. "Now I know why I recognize you!"
Inuyasha growled to himself. "No Kagome! I met you before that! Idiot!"
Kagome's eyes widened. She knew that tone of voice.
"Inuyasha….?"
"Inu Smith." Hakuchi corrected, like he knew what was going on. "We would have tracked him down ourselves, instead of bringing you into this girl, except this man doesn't exist. There are no records on him, except that he's done a few odd jobs. Police man for a day, Mascot for Disney, destroyed an entire Anger Management classroom. And these are just a few. But nothing told us where he actually lived or what he did. Then someone told us the Janitor knew this Kagome Higurashi, and we decided to kidnap her. Although we had no idea you two had such a special night out planned."
Inuyasha growled, but his mind was working. Only one person at school knew that he and Kagome knew each other, and that was Riku. Had she told these guys? Or had they gone to Jaki and demanded information.
No. Jaki wouldn't have given it anyway. He wasn't one to get involved with this sort of stuff.
It must have been Riku. He'd have to find that girl later and give her a piece of his mind.
"Inuyasha….You were that blonde Janitor…?" She asked out loud, stunned.
Inu nodded. "Yep. Must have been a good disguise too, considering you didn't recognize me."
Kagome didn't answer. Instead, she seemed to be thinking about what he'd said.
"It doesn't matter who you all were or how you came to know each other. I want revenge and I'm gonna get it." He lifted a gun, rather awkwardly because both hands were squid arms, and aimed. Inuyasha, weaponless, spread his arms out so as to protect Kagome. He waited for the shots to hit.
Instead, the dark room was suddenly filled with light, as the wall behind the men fell down.
Inuyasha had to squint to see.
Several men dressed in black suddenly ran into the room, strange looking guns pointed at all of the people. The thugs were forced to drop their weapons, and raise their hands.
Inuyasha felt confused. Hadn't he seen these people before.
The light faded slightly, and another figure stepped in. Inu couldn't see his face, but he spoke a few silent orders to one of the men there, and all of the thugs were carted out.
Finally, when no one was in the room any longer, the figure stepped out of the light and into view.
"Inuyasha. Open your eyes."
Inuyasha hadn't even realized he'd closed his eyes against the pain of the light.
He opened them now, and nearly fell over.
"Sesshomaru! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, staring.
Of course, she had yet to see Inuyasha's brother in this time. It was even more awkward that he wore a black suit. Inu was used to it. Kagome was not. "What are you doing here?"
"This is this Sesshomaru's future self." He told Kagome, frowning. "I live in this time period."
"What are you doing here?" Inu asked. "How did you find us?"
At this Sesshomaru sighed. "Kouga called me when you took off."
"Kouga's here too?" Kagome remarked before Sesshomaru could finish.
"Yeah Kagome. He's the Chief of Police." Inuyasha told her.
"What!"
Sesshomaru patiently waited until he could speak again. "Kouga called me to tell me what had happened, and what direction you took. Then Shippo called afterward to inform me of some information I had asked him for a week ago, about a gang called the Hakuchi whom seemed to act rather odd. He called me directly after Kouga did to inform me that this group wasn't human."
"Shippo's here too?"
"He's a fashion designer." Inuyasha told her.
"And my main informant. He has the largest database of information in the world, as Foxes always gather all the information they can."
"These Hakuchi. Their demons aren't they?" Inuyasha inquired, getting Sesshomaru back on topic.
"No. Their aliens."
"Aliens!"
"Please don't tell me you haven't yet figured out who I am Inuyasha?"
A shake of the hanyou's head told Sesshomaru the truth. He sighed.
"I believe you had put in an application at the Men in Black studios?"
"Yeah."
"Kouga, Shippo, and I, make up the founders of that industry. For a living, we capture aliens and demons, and help them migrate and blend into the world as you all know it. As of now, I'm the President, Kouga is in charge of training new recruits, and Shippo is in charge of all databanks pertaining to all migrations and migratory history. It's the largest industry in the world right now."
Kagome and Inuyasha couldn't answer. They were too surprised. Inuyasha couldn't believe his ears.
So the first job he'd ever tried to get, belonged to his older Brother? Had he have known his brother was so nice, and so rich, in the beginning, he would have talked to him straight out, and not have been stuck with so many stupid jobs.
He couldn't believe himself.
"Yes well. I'm afraid you two can't go on knowing this."
"Why not?" Inuyasha asked in an agitated manner. "What's wrong with us knowing?"
"People will probe your minds. Find out. No one can know the President of the Men in Black corporation. Now, for a moment, I want the both of you to look at this pen right here." Sesshomaru pulled the said object from his pocket, and pointed it at them. "I want you to tell me what color it is."
Just as Inuyasha and Kagome began to balk at such a stupid questions, the flash left the pen, and left them wide eyed and speechless.
Sesshomaru pocketed the pen, and stuck his hands in his pockets.
"I do not own Men in Black. I actually own a Ramen company that produces Maru-chan Ramen. Kagome, Shippo does not exist, and Kouga is married to Ayame. He won't bother you, and you will forget that either is still alive. You have no idea I exist. Inuyasha, you will forget about this entire ordeal. You bought the bracelet with money you found."
Sesshomaru turned and walked away, leaving both hanyou and human to sit confused, waiting for their minds to finish taking in the information.
Catse: I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written for this story. Anywho, what do you think? Please tell me! I like comments! That I do!!!!!! Lol, I need to stop reading Rurouni Kenshin mangas.
