Chapter 11
Kagome sat in the car as Jasper approached them. She sat up front with Steve in the driving seat.
"Here comes Jasper," she whispered coldly. Steve looked over and eyes narrowed. "You two deal with him and find out what insight is, I need to report to Sesh," she whispered. Steve nodded as Jasper got into the car. Sam followed behind him, Steve starting the car. They drove to a building, and steve and Natasha dragged him to the top of the building.
"What is Zola's algorithm?" Steve demanded as Jasper staggered backward.
"I don't know," he staggered, scared.
"Why were you on that ship?" steve demanded as the reached the ledge grabbing him by his collar.
"I get seasick," he said scared. Then his face morphed into that of unbridled confidence. "You don't have it in you to throw me off the side of a building," he smirked. Steve glanced at Natasha, then smiled back at him.
"You right," he smiled, kindly patting his suit down. "It's hers," he smirked, stepping to the side. Natasha kicking Hasoer off the building,
"Hey, how about have it written on an airplane?" Natasha asked curiously. "Or a firework display where it spells out, will you marry me?" Natasha asked curiously.
"Yeah, I am not quite up for that," Steve smiled warmly as Sam flew Jasper back onto the roof. There Jasper spilled his guts about insight, how it targeted those that HYDRA views as threats, Steve, Bruce, Sesshomaru, Kagome, Shippo, etc.
Bellow Kagome told Sesshomaru to call everyone in and solidify the barrier. Sesshomaru listened intently and was enraged by this development. He quickly called everyone back into the Western Lands.
"Kagome, as soon as you get your intended and friends somewhere safe. You are to come straight here," he ordered.
"But Sesh," Kagome began to protest.
"No buts, the Captain and the others can handle this, you need to return and help me with our people," he ordered. Kagome looked down heartbroken and solemnly. "Kagome, I know you love him. As well intended to mate with him soon, but he can take care of himself. You must perform your duty," he said softly, well as softly as Sesshomaru can muster. "Trust him to do him, and to come back to you," he said. Kagome nodded in agreement and understanding. "Till then," he said cutting the link off. Kagome looked down sadly and was close to tears. Steve and the others soon arrived towards the car. Kagome wiped her tears and schooled her face.
"Ready?" she asked.
"Yes, how are the others?" Steve asked.
"Sesshomaru is calling everyone in," she sighed. "Even me," she said sadly. "I am to ensure you make it to a safe place or vantage point. Then I am to return," she said sadly.
"I understand darling," he whispered, putting his forehead against hers. "Let's go," he whispered moving her towards the car.
They were soon on the road to S.H.I.E.L. D. Jasper complained the whole time Kagome sat in the back, Natasha in the middle, and Jasper to the side. Kagome was zoning it all out, focusing on saving her energy. Then she heard Jasper screaming, she looked as he went flying out the window. She screamed as a knife was centimeters from her head. Sam slammed on the brakes, and they saw the man with the metal arm land in front of them.
"Oh come on," she growled. Then a car behind them slammed into them, shoving them forward. They continued to struggle with the car and the man now on the roof.
"I hate this guy," Natasha cursed beside her.
"Give me a second," Kagome said throwing up a barrier. This threw the guy off the car.
"Nicely done" Sam complimented.
"Hold on," Steve said holding Kagome to his chest, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Natasha moved to them, they sat on the shield as the car began to roll. Sam was thrown out of the car at a distance. Kagome and steve rolled across the pavement together, as Natasha rolled beside them.
"You ok?" he asked Kagome landing beneath him.
"Yeah," she groaned in pain looking up into his worried eyes.
"Nat?" he called over to her, breaking the eye contact.
"I'm good," she called. Steve got up quickly with Kagome in his arms. He looked over her head as a rocket was launched them.
"Move," he called pushing her away and blocking it with his shield, sending him flying over the ramp and into a bus.
"STEVE!" Kagome cried out, going after him, but Natasha grabbed her around the waist, halting her movements.
"Kags, we got to move," Natasha said, pulling Kagome away from the open area and behind the car as bullets rained down on them. "Listen Kagome, Steve is fine," Natasha assured the shocked woman. "But he needs these guys off him," she said looking to the winter soldier. That snapped Kagome out of her shocked state.
"Alright, but bare in mind. That son of a bitch is mine," she growled out.
"Copy that," Natasha nodded. The duo ran to the ledge Steve went over, and jumped, as bullets flew by them. They launched their grapple claws and swung beneath the bridge. They continued to run beneath the bridge. Kagome pulled a charm from her belt, and her bow appeared. She saw Winter's soldiers shadow above them.
"When I fire a run like hell," Kagome told her pulling the string back. She allowed her spiritual powers to form into an arrow. She was right to bellow him, in his blind spot and fired. It was true, but he moved, and she got his glasses. "Move," kagome yelled as they ran like hell away from the men.
"Here, I have a recording of myself, I will lay it out here, and while he is distracted. you go and get him," Natasha said softly. Kagome nodded in agreement with this plan. Natasha set up the trap quickly with Kagome keeping watch.
"Run a block away, after I do some damage, I will join you," Kagome said coldly. Natasha knew that tone, its, don't you dare argue with me. Natasha nodded and ran off. Kagome took a deep breath and shrunk her bow, and got her other weapons ready. She hid behind a car as the Winter Solider fell for the trap. As soon as his bomb exploded, Kagome sprung into action. She swings her legs around his head and brought him to the ground in a hold. He managed to throw her off him, but she was able to kick him in the face. He snapped to the side, and he growled in anger. They then began fist fighting. Kagome managed to throw a stunner on the metal arm, disabling it a minute. She did a barrage of spiral kicks. Though he got his arm back online, and grabbed her by the throat and threw her down the street. She flew through the air, then landed hard on the ground and barreled rolled on the ground. She finally stopped in front of Natasha's hiding place.
"Kagome?" Natasha asked, concerned.
"Ok," she grunted in pain getting up. "That hurt," she coughed. She stood up about to turn and face the Winter soldier, but a gunshot rang out, and searing pain shot through her right shoulder blade, inches from her heart.
"Kagome," Natasha cried out. She ran over and helped the injured woman to a hiding place.
"Kagome," she cried out trying to wake her. She then heard the gun cocking, and she saw the winter soldier about to fire around between her eyes. But he never got the chance. A red, blue, and white shield soared through the air and knocked him the way. While Steve fought the Winter Soldier. Natasha turned her attention to Kagome.
"Nat," she whispered in pain. "Pull it out" she whispered. Natasha nodded and turned her over. She saw the wound, and the bullet was deep. She took a deep breath and reached inside, and yanked the bullet out. Rather painfully for Kagome, but it began to heal slowly. "It's healing slowly, it never heals this slow," Natasha said alarmed.
"Its," she coughed a bit, blood coming out. "It's mixed with demon blood or ashes, I can't heal as fast," she said between gritted teeth. Kagome looked o STeve and saw the Winter Soldier pointing a gun at him. Kagome looked around and saw a rocket launcher. "Nat, the rocket launcher," she seethed. Natasha looked and nodded, and went for the launcher. Kagome groaned in pain as she felt her tissues repair itself, but she soon blackout from the searing pain.
She awoke to Steve carrying her down an underground tunnel.
"Steve?" Kagome asked weakly.
"Kagome? Oh thank god," he sighed in relief.
"Come on," Agent Hill yelled over her shoulder. Kagome looked shocked at seeing the agent.
"Steve where are we, what's going on?" Kagome asked concerned and slightly alarmed.
"I don't know, but Agent Hill saved us," he whispered. They carried her into a room, their Sesshomaru stood beside a bed, that held a very much alive Nick Fury
"Lord Sesshomaru," Steve said, shocked.
"Sesh," Kagome gasped in surprise.
"Imouto, what happened?" he demanded.
"She was shot with a bullet infused with either demon's blood or ash," Natasha reported.
"This way, healer!" Sesshomaru barked out loudly. A female cat demon came running in and guided her to another bed near Director Fury.
"With all respect my Lord, why are you here?" Steve asked stoically.
"Kagome," Sesshomaru stated. "After she told me of this one untimely demise, and the toll it had on everyone. She asked if I would bring him back," Sesshomaru said stoically.
"Which is a neat little trick," Nick said contently/
"Bear in mind I can only do it once," he said sternly.
"Got it, no more brushes with death," Nick nodded in agreement.
"I didn't know you could do that," Natasha said impressed.
"You're not supposed to know. If everyone knew about it, people will be banging down my door demanding I bring back someone dead," Sesshomaru growled out.
"Which is understandable," Steve nodded in agreement, not leaving Kagome's side. Kagome lay there as the healer worked on healing her quicker. Kagome was once again asleep, but more soundly this time.
"Rodgers, a word," Sesshomaru demanded. Steve looked up and nodded, following after the ice-cold lord. Only after gently kissing Kagome's hand and promising to be back.
"Her kit has told me, there is something you wish to ask me," Sesshomaru said in the hall. Steve froze on the spot, not expecting that question to come out.
"I'm, I was hoping to ask you this in a better setting, but to ask for Kagome's hand in marriage,'' Steve said awkwardly. Sesshomaru stared him down coldly, but Steve did not flinch away.
"Very well, you have my blessing," Sesshomaru sighed. He turned his back to the captain, as he sighed with relief. "But anything should happen to her, you forsake her, cause her to harm either emotionally or physically, I will kill you and take her back," he threatened to turn around with his aura flaring around him. Steve gulped in fear and nodded in agreement.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes in a sigh. He would have challenged to a duel, to test his strength. But he knew he would win, as well the Captain America has proven strength to him already. He had not told his imouto, but he has had a few of his youkai that were spies and has been watching him for an extensive amount of time. To ensure Steve Rodgers was truly right and good enough for Kagome.
Steve nodded and rushed to Kagome's bedside. She was fast asleep in bed. Steve sat beside her and held her had in his.
"I am going to fix this, I promise you," he whispered holding her hand to his forehead.
"I know you will," she whispered. She had woke up when he took her hand into his.
"When this is all over, there is something I need to do," he said reaching his hand forward, placing it upon her cheek. "Wait for me?" he smiled gently to her.
"I will always koi," she smiled, taking his hand on her cheek and kissing his palm. He smiled leaning forward, kissing her softly on the lips. This was a form of goodbye between them. She and Sesshomaru were returning to the Western Lands in an hour. When S.H.I.E.L.D. was gone, H.Y.D.R.A was gone, those carriers were gone, and if he was able, save Bucy. He was going to propose to her. He looked into her blue pools one more time. Pulling her into another kiss, deepening it this time.
"I love you," he whispered as he pulled back.
