Chapter 9 Bullets and Bargains

Sango's POV

It's been two weeks and I haven't left my room. Nope I haven't seen the rest of the ship or Kagome for that matter since I woke up and found out she joined forces with those scumbags. I can't believe her I don't give a rat's ass if she likes that god-forsaken hanyou. She's a fucking bounty hunter she should be locking him up not me. I look around my room and notice how much I've trashed the place. I sigh and get to my feet walking over to retrieve the trashcan and begin to shove the food remains and tattered and torn books into it. Just then my door whooshes open and standing there is Satan himself in living flesh disguised as my so-called "friend's" new boyfriend.

I turn my back and continue to throw away the trash that litters the floor. I pretend not to even notice him as he walks over and places the tray carrying my breakfast on the bed. However when he opened his mouth I could no longer ignore him.

End POV

"Good you're cleaning up it was starting to reek in here." Inuyasha declared as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at the now glaring woman. "It wouldn't reek as you so bluntly put it if you would let me out of here." Inuyasha smirked and leaned against the nearest wall. "Well sorry but I can't do that until you agree to join me and not try to arrest my ass." Sango smiled and stood turning her head to look at him. "Sorry ain't gonna happen. And I am still trying to figure out what you said to get Kagome to join ranks with the likes of you." Inuyasha smirked and pushed off against the wall.

"I can't help it if I'm so irresistible and your friend fell for me." At Sango's worried look he decided to reassure her. "Oh don't worry I like her a lot too we get along famously and it's going to stay that way." Sango nodded once to show she understood the situation. She sighed and rubbed her face with her hands. "I still don't know what it is she sees in you but Kagome's a good judge of character. If she likes you then you can't be all bad." Inuyasha grinned proudly, "Well thank you so does this mean you'll join me?" Sango smirked, "I'll think about it." Inuyasha shrugged, "Fine whatever fair enough I'll leave you to talk it over with that big brain of yours see ya!" and with that he was out the door. Sango looked over at her food and plopped down on her bed once again. *Maybe just maybe I could get along with these people. *

Back in the cockpit Kagome was working on checking their fuel amounts to ensure that they had enough to get to Saturn. "Damn." She exclaimed when she realized that they only had half the amount they needed left. Just then two strong arms encircled her waist and she smiled with a sigh as Inuyasha kissed her cheek. "What's wrong?" he asked into her ear. She glared at the screen in front of her, "We only have half the amount of fuel we need we'll have to stop at the next Astroserve station." Inuyasha frowned and stepped back from her. "Make sure you plug the coordinates into the autopilot system." He turned to walk away but Kagome sensing something was wrong grabbed his arm. "Hey you ok?" She asked her voice and face full of concern.

Inuyasha turned to her and smiled, "I'm fine I just have to go grab Miroku and tell him we'll be needing some disguises." Kagome looked a little confused, "What would you need oh." She answered herself as she remembered that her new lover and good friend were wanted men. Inuyasha chuckled, "Forget so soon?" He questioned with laughing eyes. Kagome smiled, "Well it's hard to remember something like that when I love you so much." Inuyasha stilled, "You...love...me?" Kagome smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah it's kinda hard for me not to." Her face suddenly fell, "That is unless you don't want me to?" Inuyasha reached out and cupped her cheek with his hand. He was so much bigger than her his hand covered the whole half of her face. "I do want you to because I love you back."

Kagome smiled and Inuyasha leaned down to claim her lips in a short heartfelt kiss. Then he let her go and went on to collect his sidekick. Kagome smiled at his retreating form and turned back to the computer screen to plug the coordinates for the nearest Astroserve station into the autopilot's computer system.

Miroku was trying to get the ship's vending machine to work by "gently" negotiating with it using his fist and foot when Inuyasha found him. Inuyasha chuckled, "Need some help?" He asked coming into the room and crossing his arms. Miroku smiled, "Nope me and this here machine are about to have an agreement ahh!!!" He exclaimed when the machine spit out a bag of Cheetos. Inuyasha slightly frowned, "All that for Cheetos?" Miroku nodded as he tore into the bag. "Yep best snack in the universe." Inuyasha shook his head then went over and barely tapped the machine causing it to drop a bag of white cheddar popcorn into the droor. He smiled as he retrieved the bag and showed it to Miroku. "This my friend is the best snack food ever!!" (AN: It is!!! ^.^) Miroku frowned, "Whatever! Now what did you have to come find me for?" Inuyasha grinned, "We're going to have to stop at the next Astroserve so make sure you have a disguise ready." And with that he left shoving his popcorn into his greedy mouth. Miroku shook his head as he left to head to his room to pick out something to wear.

The Astroserve was all lit up when our little group of delinquent misfits arrived. If you have ever been to Las Vegas at night imagine that only ten times smaller. It consisted of five buildings contained inside a glass sphere and all of them were decorated with brightly flashing neon lights. The main building was the gas station; it was like any other gas station in that it had a small convenience store inside but nothing special. The building to it's right was smaller and was a bit flashier. It was a diner styled in the 1950's fashion with high stools and checkered floors and waitresses on roller skates. The building to the gas station's left was a docking station where you could get your ships repaired or just dock them for the night if you were staying that long. The other two buildings were a grocery/clothing store and a motel. Like I said before they made it out to be something big when it was no more than a ghetto on an asteroid. Of course the small place had a police station but no one but the bounty hunters the bounties cared much about it and it was located away from the other buildings. Inuyasha noticed it as they entered the sphere and he glared at it as he put his beanie on hiding away his hair and ears.

Kagome looked at him from her seat at the steering wheel wondering how he was able to fit all his hair underneath the small snowcap but decided not to worry about it. Inuyasha put on a pair of sunglasses and looked over at Miroku who had donned a System Of A Down baseball cap and blue contact lenses. It was weird how much different just a change in eye color actually made him look. Kagome docked the ship and told the man at the station to fill the tanks. She was wearing dark blue shorts and a black halter-top with a red bandana. Of course she was armed with her handguns in the holsters around her thighs and she looked very capable of kicking someone's ass. But the woman most capable of that feat was still locked inside her bedroom.

Inuyasha got off the ship and looked around. He needed some more headgear and a few new CD's. "Hey Kagome?" he called, "Yeah?" she replied running up to him after paying the man for the gas. "How long will it take?" Inuyasha asked, Kagome pointed over her shoulder. "The old man said we were pretty empty so it'll take about an hour." Inuyasha smirked and rubbed his hands together. "That's perfect now to do some shopping!!!" Kagome giggled and followed him into the mall. Miroku shook his head and decided to go and keep himself busy by pissing off a few PIGS. He smirked to himself as he headed towards the police station.

Kagome and Inuyasha were on the escalator when Kagome decided to find out why they were in the mall. (AN: I don't really like shopping unless it's in the mall and it's just me and my sis) "Hey Inu why are we here?" Inuyasha looked down at her glad she didn't use his full name "I needed some new headgear and some new CD's you can get something too if you want." Kagome smiled, "Then let's head over to FYE they've got the best stuff and plus it has anime!!!" Inuyasha blinked at her. "You like anime? Which kind?" Kagome beamed at him. "I LOVE anime and I usually go for the sci-fi, horror, action, fantasy stuff." Inuyasha's grin got larger. "Those are my favorite kind too I especially like Gundam Wing, Vampire Hunter D, DBZ, DBGT, Rurouni Kenshin, and Cowboy Bebop." Kagome was now jumping up and down. "Those are some of my favorites too I also like Orphen and Chobits." "I like them too I have the Orphen box set on DVD!!!!" (AN: I have that!!!) Kagome grinned, "We'll need to talk about anime later right now lets get shopping cuz we're here."

Inuyasha turned around and noticed that they had arrived at FYE. He got off the escalator and took Kagome by the hand pulling her swiftly into the store. They shifted through the multitude of headphones and CD's till Inuyasha found a pair of forty-dollar headphones he HAD to have. And they had grabbed a collection of CD's consisting of System Of A Down, Misfits, Disturbed, AFI, Tenacious D, Sugarcult, Bowling For Soup, Green Day, and Korn. They were standing in line and Inuyasha looked about ready to drop his precious cargo just so he could kill the annoying baby behind him that was trying to pull off his beanie. Thankfully though they were next in line so he just continued to bat the kid's hands away till they reached the counter.

"Hello and welcome to FYE please set your purchases on the counter." Said a punk kid at the cash register when they got to the counter. The kid was about 17 with black and red spiky hair and an eyebrow ring. He was tall and lean with a nametag that read Matt. Inuyasha had just turned his attention away from the baby to put the CD's on the counter when the stupid kid ripped the beanie off his head and kicked him forward a little causing the sunglasses to fall. Kagome gasped her face clearly saying UH-OH as she saw a freaked out Matt press the security button. Within seconds the rest of customers figured out just who the silver-haired man was and began to run screaming out of the store. A few cops that had coincidentally been in the store began to open fir causing Inuyasha and Kagome to pull out their own weapons and begin to shoot their way out of the store taking as many CD's with them as they could. They were almost out when Kagome took a bullet to the shoulder.

She screamed out in pain and gripped her shoulder dropping her gun to the floor. Inuyasha stared at her wide-eyed for a second before shooting a few of the cops and grabbing Kagome. He took off out of the store and jumped down the first level of the mall running as fast as the bullets being shot at him towards the ship.

Meanwhile Miroku had been pissing off a lieutenant by asking the stupidest questions ever. "Why do you carry a gun?" "So I can shoot people." "So then you break the law?" "No." "But shooting people is against the law." "Only if you aren't a cop." "So if I was a cop I could shoot people and get away with it?" "No." "But you said..." The lieutenant jumped up from his seat and glared at the grinning Miroku. "Look you I don't give a damn about your stupid questions so get lost or I'll." "Lieutenant!!" The balding cop sighed with agitation. "What now?" He barked at the officer behind him. "It's Inuyasha sir he's in the mall they're calling for backup!!" The Lieutenant smirked, "I've got you now Inuyasha you won't get away." "Actually he will." Miroku stated.

The Lieutenant turned to him. "Oh really what makes you say that?" He asked glaring Miroku smiled, "This." And then he punched the Lieutenant in the nose knocking him out. He then pulled out his gun and aimed it at the other officers. "Now then gentlemen get into the cell." All the officers did as they were told and Miroku threw the Lieutenant in after them. "Just who are you?" One of the low ranking officers asked as he locked the cell's door. Miroku bowed to them, "Allow me to introduce myself." He then pulled off the cap and removed his contacts. The officers all gasped as Miroku waved them goodbye and headed towards the ship.

Inuyasha had now reached their ship The Black Star and turned to see Miroku running up to him. "We better get out of here before the backup arrives." Miroku grinned proudly, "I already took care of that." Inuyasha smirked then nodded to him as he closed the door. Miroku noticed Kagome's shoulder as Inuyasha laid her down on the floor. "What happened?" He asked worried for his new friend. "She got shot in the shoulder she'll be alright take her to Sango she can clean her up." Miroku looked at him "What about you?" "I have to fly a ship right now I'll tend to her once we're safe now do as you're told." Miroku nodded than preceded to carry the injured miko to her friend's room.

When Sango saw Kagome she freaked, "What happened?" she asked as Miroku laid her friend down on her bed. "She was shot in the shoulder can fix her up?" Sango nodded and grabbed her small first aid kit. She cleaned out the wound and was glad to see that the bullet had passed clean through. 'Good I won't have to dig it out.' She thought. She wrapped it tightly with gauze and had just finished when a concerned looking Inuyasha entered the room. "Is she ok?" He asked his voice thick with worry. Sango smiled at him, "She'll be fine she just needs to rest for a while." Inuyasha visibly relaxed as he sat down nest to Kagome and took her small hand in his. Sango saw this and smiled 'Maybe he isn't so bad.' "Hey Inuyasha?" "Hmm?" he asked looking over at her. "Lets make a bargain I'll join you but if I decide that you truly are as bad as your record then I get to arrest you." Inuyasha smirked, "You're welcome to try." "So then do we have an accord?" she held out her hand and Inuyasha took it looking her in the eyes. "You're on."
