Chapter 21 Untitled...(yes i'm still going through my phase...)
Kagome woke up at eight, she wasn't sure five hours of sleep was enough but she needed to get ready for her meeting with Naraku. She was planning on bringing all of her equipment but now she figured it would be just pointless. If she took it he'd end up confiscating it then she wouldn't have it at all. After dressing she placed a small army knife inside her boot, she pulled on another t-shirt over her tank, then she put on her jacket. She put random misc. items in the pockets, most of which seemed pointless, but you never knew when you'd need a bandaid or a tooth pick. Kagome would rather have a bunch of junk on her than nothing at all. She put a few rubber bands in her last pocket and then she was ready to go. She walked out of her room and headed down the hall way. She could tell by how quiet it was that Hojo hadn't woken up yet.
She came into the living room and saw Inuyasha laying on the couch, the blanket wrapped around him, and small drool spot on the pillow. He snored lightly and she giggled. The sound made his ears perk up and Kagome moved closer. She'd never seen a boy with dog ears before and she had to admit they were so adorable. She'd wanted to touch them since the first time she saw them. As much as she didn't want to wake him she wanted to pet them more. She reached a hand up and stroked one. It was soft and fluffy, she giggled again and his ears twitched again. She rubbed it between her fingers and she heard him pur. She laughed this time, Inuyasha was purring! It was so adorable, but then the pur turned to a growl and Inuyasha was awake. Kagome backed away, almost afraid, but still amused.
"Sorry!" his hair was standing on end and he was still rubbing his eyes, he looked at her and felt himself calm down. He didn't normally let anyone touch his ears, but this girl was definitely an acception, he didn't know how much longer he'd be with her. It made him sad because she was obviously leaving soon. He smiled down at her, she had somehow ended up on the ground. He got up and helped her up.
"It's okay." he said his smile fading as she began to giggle. "What?" He gave her a weird look.
"You should see yourself!" She smiled holding back the giggles. Inuyasha turned and looked at himself in the reflection on the TV and saw what she meant. His hair was half sticking up and half plastered to his face. His clothes were wrinkled and he had the pattern of the couch imprinted on his cheek. He did look goofy.
"Let me go get ready." He groaned as he got off the couch and made his way back to the bathroom with his bag of clothes, ignoring Kagome's old man comment. He decided a shower was the only way he was going to get his hair to do it's thing. So he turned on the water and got in. It was cold at first but soon warmed up and he was humming as he washed his hair.
Kagome sat and looked around. Inuyasha had left his computer up last night so she went over and sat down on the crate he'd used as a chair. She opened a file and added some info to is on how to contact herself and Sango. She didn't want to worry him. She didn't know for sure why she cared but she had a feeling like there was some kind of connection between the two of them. She didn't think she could let go of him yet. She set up a program that would alert him of this new info in a month, that way she'd have plenty of time to get out of town. She didn't need him following her right away. She didn't want to take him away from his life of safety. She finished up and went over to the couch. She sat there waiting for the sound of the shower to stop, or the sound of Hojo's screams to reach her ears.
She sighed not wanting to be lazy any longer. She decided she'd head Hojo's wake up party. She took a whistle out of one of her random pocket and went to the door. She stepped out the door, looked left and then right. She paused waiting for an attack, but one never came. She walked around the corner to the place were Hojo would be ducked taped to a pole. Whistling as she went. She stopped with a shock. He was gone! Naraku must have come for him. Kagome shrugged, she didn't care about that jerk anyway. She headed back into the apartment, grabbed her bag and left. She didn't have time to wait for Inuyasha.
Her friends were in trouble, worse than ever before, he could catch up with her later, hopefully. If not oh well, she didn't need him getting her into more trouble anyway. She ran out the door then went to Inuyasha's car and began hot wiring it. Which wasn't as easy as going in and finding the key on the counter but hey, she liked making things complicated, so who cared. She got the vehicle started and backed out. She was going to settle this once and for all.
She drove to the meeting point and got out of the car. Taking a deep breath she thought about her plan...never mind, she didn't have a plan. Instead she gave herself a pep talk. This was going to be easy, she thought to herself. She walked around her car, took a small square out of one of her pockets and placed it on the wall of the building. She set a little red button flashing and headed inside, making up a plan B incase her instincts didn't work out as planned.
She hadn't armed herself with any weapon that would help take out the guards if she were able to escape and get Miroku and Sango out, but she doubted that situation would even come to be. She walked in, not glancing at the guards, not worried about anyone but Naraku. He was at the bar drinking a wiskey, she approached him and when she got to close the guards made a move for her. She countered the first one's attempt at grabbing her jacket with a kick in the stomach, and the others with a straw up the nose. Yes you read right, a straw, one of her many random tools of fun. She took a seat on the stool next to Naraku, the other guards having been ordered to stand by with a wave of Naraku's bony hand.
"So what's the deal?" Kagome's cool exterior gave nothing away. She had calculated that at about that same moment Inuyasha was realizing she was gone, but then again, he could have already been here.
"Well my dear, I have a mission for you, one you'll find easy I'm sure." He smirked into his drink and finished off the shot.
"If it's so easy, why don't you do it yourself?" She wandered if this was his idea of a good time. She looked aroud the room. 12 guards, 7 with guns 5 unarmed but heavily built, she could only hope to find a weak spot. It wasn't going to be easy though. Kagome tried to relax, buut something didn't feel right, there was a catch.
"You see my dear, there was a certain someone, I'm sure you know him, well he's the one who was supposed to hold this item for me. You know the one I'm talking about, but little does he know that you're not the only one to betray him." He stopped waiting for a reaction, then continued. "Someone he knows, a girl, she knows where my jewel is, and it will take a certain amount of...let me say, persuasion to get it from her." He filled his glass, "Kagome you have the means by which to achieve this goal, you have the power. I need you to get me the real jewel."
"I'll do it, what do I need to know. Who is this girl? Where can I find--"
"It's all right here." he slipped a piece of paper into her hand, confused she turned it over. It was a picture, but not just any picture, it was Inuyasha. He was the one that Naraku had entrusted the jewel to, and he'd lost it. Inuyasha was sided with the bad guy. Kagome gasped then read the small print on the corner. It was an address. Not Inuyasha's but, Kikyo's, she'd stolen the jewel!
