Chapter 16

Kay, I'm going to update on the weekends a lot now. I have the time, might as well use it. And seeing as how it took a couple months for the last one…Well, you should get it.

Kagome was awakened to her door getting thrown open. As she rolled over she noticed quite a few things wrong with the intruder. First he was decked out in all black. In the side of her mind she noticed that he kind of looked like a SWAT guy… Next she noticed that along with the look and her previous assumption, he was leveling a pistol at her. Looks like she was right… But before the man could do anything two hands wrapped around the sides of his head, and was wrenched roughly and quickly to the side. And with a crack and accompanying thud he was done for. Leaving none other than Inuyasha standing there.

"Come on wench, get the lead out, more of them bastards are here…" He said without breaking stride towards her. He yanked the covers off of her and despite her protests of being in just a shirt and underwear; he slung her over his shoulder and walked out the door.

Inuyasha didn't listen to her as she tried to get him to put her down; he just kept walking towards the staircase at the end of the hall. He stopped just short of the top of the staircase, and set down Kagome.

"Alright, listen up. You stay here and for god sake don't say a damn word. Got it?" He said as he opened one of the nearby doors. "Hide in here. Be back in a bit." He said as he shut the door.

"I'd prefer not to…" She said meekly.

"Well too damn bad. I'll do a lot better without having to watch over you." He said as he left. "Don't worry, it'll all be fine."

Like Kagome, Miroku had also gotten woken up suddenly. Not by any Swat look alike. But by Inuyasha throwing a rather heavy book at his stomach. With a yell of: "Get the fuck outta bed. There are some people here who don't like me very much. You might want to get Sango up as well." He motioned to the woman sleeping next to Miroku. "I'm gonna go get Kagome, be back." And he was gone.

Miroku had since woken Sango up, who had in turn gotten dressed and came out of their walk-in closet with her Hiraikotsu. Miroku automatically felt sorry for the guys who were about to be on the wrong end of her aggression. He didn't grab anything. Preferring his hands and martial arts. Miroku started walking towards the door with Sango in tow. As he pulled it open, he was just in time to watch Inuyasha land in the middle of their living room and take the head off of an unsuspecting man with his claws.

Inuyasha skidded to a halt after his sloppy decapitation and stayed crouched looking around the room. He spotted Miroku and Sango standing the doorway to their bedroom and stood up slowly.

"About damn time people, Lets get moving. I'm sure there are a few more of the motherfuckers standing around somewhere." He said as he was walking towards the door that led to the kitchen.

"I take it your nose is still as good as ever Inuyasha?" Sango piped up.

"Keh, don't you know it." And with the push of the swinging door he was gone. A few gunshots and a scream or two later. He walked back out. Still flicking the blood off of his claws. "Do me a favor one of you. Go fetch Kagome. I think I might have freaked her out with leaving her in a closet… She's up those stairs on the right. He didn't break stride as he went into another room. Repeat sounds from before, and he walked back out of that room flicking an ever-increasing amount of blood off his claws. "Keh, pathetic bastards, would of thought I left a more imposing impression on my old bosses, for them to send this trash for me…"

Sango finished walking down the stairs with Kagome behind her. " See wench told you everything's fine." He said as he crossed his arms. "Trash…"

One of the doors across from them opened and in poured a few dozen of the Swat look-alikes. Before they had the chance to do anything, Sango heaved her boomerang over her shoulder and with a throw, sent it on its way. With a whooshing sound., and a few bones breaking, the ten or so men went down with out an afterthought. "Glad to see you still know how to use that thing Sango." Inuyasha said with a smirk.

"Oh you know, it's like riding a bike." She said as she pulled it out of the wall it lodged itself in. "You cant forget it." She finished with a smirk of her own. "And I'm glad to notice you still can kill people without too much worry."

"Yep, unlike you two I didn't stop doing one of the few things I'm good at. Hell, it made me rich. Why should I give a damn?"

"So…your saying you don't care about taking the life of another?" Kagome whispered. Inuyasha stared at her for awhile.

"I'd do it without a thought. They just got in my way."

"Let me get this. You killed these men because some stupid guy had told them to try and kill you?"

"You hit the nail right n the head wench. They wouldn't pause in any thought of killing me. I do myself the favor of thinking the same way towards them."

"What about the countless other people you've killed…? As in assassinated? What of them" She asked still whispering.

"Look here wench, I don't come to you and lecture you about your fucking life choices. Lay the fuck off of me. Kay? It's what I do. Deal with it." He said as he started walking towards the kitchen. "I need a fucking beer now…"

"Why didn't you kill me then?" Kagome spoke aloud this time. This made Inuyasha pause mid-stride. He stood staring at the door for a few seconds. Until he turned and looked at her. "Because you helped me grasp a life I didn't know I could posses. One that didn't involve killing just for something as common as money." After this he stared at her for a moment longer. Then shifted his gaze to one of the men on the ground. "But don't get me wrong. I will still kill if they keep coming after me. Without any thought to the contrary." He said as he finished walking towards the kitchen door. And with a push he disappeared from Kagome's view.

A/N Alrighty. Longer than what I usually do. And within a day from the other, this is showing that I didn't just update for the hell of it.
