END.DREAM.
END.RECAP.
"What the fuck?" Inuyasha asked as he woke up. 'Damn bitch...havn't had that dream in a while...but whose voice was that at the end?' He wondered and turned to see Kagome still asleep. "Kagome?" He thought out loud. 'Damn memories.' He thought but couldn't take his eyes off the girl sleeping next to him. "That was her voice...I think." He thought out loud. She moaned as she rolled over on her stomach. He sat up and grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. He grabbed a tooth brush and the tooth paste and opened the side door and threw the tooth paste back in once he put some on his tooth brush. He started brushing his teeth when he looked outside and saw Miroku and Sango through the window of the restaraunt. He rolled his eyes as they talked to each other and spit out the tooth paste and grabbed a water bottle and rinsed his mouth. He left the door open and slipped his shoes on as he went to look around. He walked next door to a small gas station and walked inside. He was watching the van from inside. "Hey will you watch that dark blue van out there for me?" He asked the clerk behind the counter after buying some gum and a small fan. He nodded as Inuyasha walked to the back toward the bathrooms.
"A couple of boys about your age I guess drove up in a jeep and look to be admiring your van." The clerk said as he pointed to the van when Inuyasha walked out from the back. Inuyasha looked out the window and grabbed his bag and ran out there to find the boys looking at Kagome sleeping.
"What the hell are you doing! Get the hell out of here!" Inuyasha yelled as he pulled them away from the van. They looked at Kagome when she moaned and kicked off her blanket. "Dammit." Inuyasha got in the van and grabbed the blanket and picked her up.
"Hey your lucky man, a few of these guys were talking bout jacking your van." One of the guys said.
"Then what are you doing looking inside the van!" Inuyasha yelled out in irritation waking Kagome up. She looked up to see Inuyasha glarring at a whole bunch of guys then she noticed she was being held but forgot about that when she realized they were starring at her.
"What the hell is going on!" Kagome asked as she tried to get closer to Inuyasha to get them to stop looking at her.
"Hey man we didn't see the chick in there at first, we're leaving though so calm down. Don't want to cause trouble." The same guy said as he tried to talk the other guys to leave. A few of them seemed to be looking for a fight but left anyways. She pulled closer to Inuyasha when a few of the guys watched her as they walked away. She hit him away when she didn't see them anymore and he let go of her as he hit the side of the van.
"What the hell! I just saved your ass the least you could do is say thank you!" Inuyasha yelled as Sango and Miroku ran out there after seeing all those guys.
"What happend!" Sango asked as she ran over with to-go bags in her hand.
"Nothing." Kagome said as she looked down.
"Let's just get out of here." Inuyasha said as he took the food and looked inside the bags. Sango went and sat in th passenger seat slowly as she watched Kagome cautiously. Miroku looked at the two before getting in the driver's seat. It got very quiet after a while so Miroku turned the radio on to fill the silence. Kagome had brushed her teeth and was now poking at her food.
"Thank you...what happend?" Kagome asked out of curiosity. He looked up at her in confusion at first but looked back down at his food when he knew what she was talking about.
"Nothing, I left the van door open as I went to the gas station so I could keep an eye on you but then there was a whole bunch of guys around the van...the clerk said they were checking out the van but I had a feeling they weren't checking the van out they were probably there cause of you cause...uhh...you know." He said as he waved his hand to her indicating her body with a slight blush.
"You left the door open!" Kagome yelled out, Miroku heard her yell and turned the radio off.
"You ok back there?" Miroku asked since he couldn't see over the screen.
"Just turn the radio back on!" Inuyasha told him. It was quiet until a few seconds later he turned the radio back on.
"Yes I left the door open, at least I could see you for a while." He told her.
"But then...wait...what did you...thanks." She finished with a blush and went back to eating her food.
"Whatever." He said as he continued eating. Miroku turned the radio down once again before speaking.
"Hey i've been driving a while, someone else gets a turn." Miroku said as he pulled to the side.
"No it's ok I will." Sango said with a grin as she switched seats with Miroku. "And i'm driving so we will be taking a short stop on the way. By the way boys...we may need a little bit of cash. But don't worry, we'll make it worth your while." Sango said with a mischevous smirk. She grinned as she drove down the main hi-way until she found her exit and turned into a mall parking lot. "Come on Kagome!" Sango said excitedly as she hoped out of the van and opened the back door.
"The mall! We need to be driving what the hell do you plan on buying!" Inuyasha asked as he got out of the van.
"Ok Inuyasha...look at Kagome...she's wearing your clothes...now think about that question for a minute as we raid your suit case for something more decent for her to wear." Sango said as she got in the back and closed the door and Miroku walked around the van to Inuyasha.
"So what was that all about earlier?" Miroku asked curiously as he looked off at the mall.
"Oh, I don't know I left her for a minute and when I got back a whole bunch of guys were crowded around the van while she was sleeping." Inuyasha said giving the short version.
"Oh, wow. Better grab her before someone else does." Miroku told him with a chuckle.
"Shut up, why would I want her?" He asked and turned around when the van door slid open. The first thing he noticed was his now ripped clothing she wore. "What the hell did you do! You ripped my clothes!" He asked as he looked at the clothes she was wearing. She wore a turtle neck that was ripped below the chest to show her stomach and his jeans that were baggy on her so she had wear his belt so they wouldn't fall.
"Inuyasha the thing was like ten times larger then her!" Sango yelled as she pointed to her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Kagome apologized with a blush.
"No don't apologize. I ripped it. Kami, first thing you looked at was the clothes. What about how she looks! This is why we have come to the mall." She told him as she started to walk off. Inuyasha looked at Kagome as if seeing where it was ripped and how it looked for the first time. Miroku shook his head as he went and followed Sango.
"I'm sorry...I was afraid you'd get mad." Kagome said as she started to walk off.
"No it's ok. Don't be sorry all the time. Take notes from Sango, talk back whenever...that's probably the only way you will be able to get through to me." He told her with a chuckle. "Keep the sweater. Looks better on you anyways. Not like i'm going to wear it like that...unless I some how become gay." He said and looked at her to see her giving him a questioning look. "Which is NOT happening." He assured. She giggled from his reaction which turned into an uncontrollable laugh. "Trust me i'm not gay." He clarified as they walked to the mall.
"Ok ok...i'm sure your not." She said teasing him a bit as she tried to calm her laughter. He rolled his eyes as he dropped it for the time being and walked with her to the mall taking a few glances at her as they walked.
"Bout time, come on Kagome!" Sango said as she grabbed her hand and dragged her into the middle of the mall as they looked through windows to find good stores. They went into the first store which was actually Victoria Secret. Kagome looked at the guys while Inuyasha tried to stay looking at them and follow behind and Miroku was looking around with a grin. He nudged Inuyasha and got a punch in the arm for it.
"Ok we're going to wait on the benches out there." Inuyasha said as he dragged Miroku outside of the store.
"Bout time they've left." Sango said as she dragged Kagome all over the store for clothes needed. After bought Kagome was dragged to the next store where Inuyasha and Miroku followed them in. Sango grabbed a whole bunch of clothes after checking Kagome's size and pushed her into a stall to try on clothes. "This is going to be fun. I hang out with you guys to much, bout time I get to hang out with a girl." Sango complained to the guys as they waited for Kagome to come out with the first outfit.
"We don't ask you to hang out with us." Inuyasha told her in mono tone.
"Umm...you guys...this is nice and all but I think it's kinda dressy." Kagome said as she came out with an red oriental type dress with dragons along the side.
"I know your not going to buy it, I just want to dress you up." Sango said with a giggle. "But it is sooo cute on you." She said happily. "Ok next." She said as she pushed her back into the stall.
"You have got to be kidding me. This is nice and all...but...I don't know...it is cute don't get me wrong." Kagome said from inside the stall.
"Well hurry and put it on so we can see." Sango yelled back. They heard rustling from inside the stall as she changed and when she walked out she was wearing fish net stockings with knee high leather boots and a short leather mini skirt and a black lace shirt with a leather vest on.
"Holy shit." Inuyasha said as he sat up when he saw her step out.
"Daaamn. Nice Sango." Miroku said as he hi fived her when he saw the look on Inuyasha's face.
"Thank you, now this is the part where you say something Inuyasha. Give me my props for the clothes and tell her how she looks." Sango told him. Kagome turned to go back but Sango grabbed her by the shoulders stopping her.
"Can I put on the next thing so we can buy?" Kagome pleaded. Sango let go as she glarred at Inuyasha.
"You could say something." Sango complained as she stood back to wait for Kagome's next outfit. When she stepped out next she wore a black skirt and a white tube top.
"This is cute." Kagome said as she spun around watching the skirt flow in the air. She giggled as she spun and held the sides of the skirt.
"Ya it is." Sango said and sent her back in to just grab all the clothes since she didn't seem to be getting anything out of Inuyasha. Sango put back the dress and Kagome grabbed the outfits she liked and when she walked to the register Sango grabbed a few more for her and Kagome once she wasn't looking. They browsed the mall for a while and Inuyasha and Miroku stopped going into the stores and waited outside on the benches only coming in when cash was needed. Sango even made Kagome buy bathing suits, shoes, belts, hats and even sunglasses. Whatever looked good. "Ok whatever let's go. It's getting late so we're going to a motel or something. We havn't showered and i'm not sleeping in that van again." Sango said as they walked to the van both girls carrying two bags each and the boys carrying the rest.
"I hope you have room for all this crap." Inuyasha said as all the bags were piled in the corner by the mattress.
"Ya...right there is good. Unless you want to put them in your suit cases too." Sango said with a smirk as she got in the drivers seat.
"I'm not putting it in." Inuyasha said as he sat down and crossed his arms.
"I will." Kagome said as she pulled out the suit cases.
"Ok just put my stuff in Miroku's suit case then I guess put yours in Inuyasha's." Sango told her as she started the car. Kagome looked at Inuyasha in question and he sighed as he came up beside her and grabbed bags to help her.
"Just tell me which are yours or Sango's." He told her as he opened the suit cases.
"It's ok I can do..." She started.
"It's ok, I got it." He told her as he grabbed a bag. He pulled out clothing after asking her put her clothes with his as Kagome put Sango's clothes in Miroku's suit case. Inuyasha pulled out the boots and mini skirt and looked at her in question. Kagome looked at the clothing wide eyed.
"Sango! You got that outfit! That is for you right!" Kagome asked as she pulled out the vest and stockings.
"Oh ya...about that...I thought it looked so cute on you." Sango said nervously. "Don't yell at the driver!" She told them. Kagome waved off her hand with a blush telling Inuyasha to put it in. They had finished and Inuyasha left the Victoria Secret bags for her to do.
HOTEL.
"Ok we can only afford one room guys. We need to save money." Sango told them after talking with the clerk.
"Coming from the one who spent all that money at the mall." Inuyasha mumbled. Sango shot him a glare and turned back around to pay for the room. Once she got the room key they walked up to the room.
"Ok first, we might as well make this trip fun so let's go and eat in the park down the road." Sango told them as she put the key in a drawer and took her shoes off.
"Ya, i'll just stay here." Inuyasha said as he walked into the room. "...on second though maybe i'll go...what the hell kind of dump is this?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around the room.
"The kind we can afford, we have to save our money." Sango told him as she picked up Miroku's suit case and threw it on the bed before throwing it open.
"So how long is it going to take exactly to get to Hong Kong?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Not sure...a few days I guess...or more...we should find out where we are right now." Miroku explained.
"I'm taking a shower first." Inuyasha said as he grabbed his clothes and walked into the bathroom.
"Is he mad?" Kagome asked cautiously.
"No...he's usually like that, you'll get used to it. He's always in a bad mood." Sango told her as she reached into Inuyasha's suit case. "Here you can wear this so I don't feel like the only one getting dressed." Sango told her with a giggle. Kagome looked at the bathroom door before turning and taking the clothes from Sango.
"Is he gay?" Kagome asked randomly. Sango and Miroku both looked up at her and burst into laughter.
"What gives you...that idea?" Sango asked between laughs.
"Well...he was so persistent on trying to tell me he wasn't and most guys are checking out girls and I didn't see him do any of that...I even saw Miroku checking out girls." Kagome explained. Sango glarred at Miroku before turning back to Kagome.
"Trust me, he's not gay. But no way am I not holding this one against him." Sango said with a smirk on her face and pushed Miroku out of the room.
"What are you doing?" He asked as she opened the door and pushed him into the hallway.
"Gotta change." She told him as she closed the door before he could say anything. She rushed over and jumped on the bed and hoped off the other side. "Ok now tell me. What do you think of Inuyasha? Remember the first day you asked me something about him and I said you'd have to judge him yourself. What do you think?" Sango asked curiously.
"What?" Kagome asked nervously with a blush creeping to her cheeks.
"I'm not going to tell him, it's ok." She told her quietly with a smile.
"He's ok...I mean he's nice and all." Kagome said cautiously.
"Just ok? Ok he can be nice but anything else?" Sango asked with a smirk as she nudged her arm. Kagome rolled her eyes and threw a pillow at her.
"Ok he's hott, is that what you want to hear? I know it is. He's hott and he can be really nice." Kagome told her with a smirk as she pushed Sango over on the bed. Sango had a big grin on her face and got up and hugged her.
"Ha! I knew it! Now change, Miroku won't wait forever." Sango told her as she pushed her back.
"Whatever." Kagome said as she started to change her clothes. She changed her shirt and after she pulled her pants off she heard the water in the bathroom shut off. Kagome looked at Sango with wide eyes and hurried and pulled her skirt up. Sango laughed and finished changing. Inuyasha walked out and looked at Sango like she had lost it as he slowly walked into the room and turned around as Kagome was putting the suit case into the closet. Sango laughed again when he didn't turn away as she was bent forward with her head in the closet.
"What is your problem?" Inuyasha asked as he turned to look at her. Kagome screamed in surprise as she jumped up and turned to see Inuyasha behind her. "Have you guys both lost it?" Inuyasha asked as he now looked at them both oddly. Kagome blushed when she looked at Sango as she was motioning to her skirt and pointing to Inuyasha.
"I would like to come inside some time this century." Miroku complained from outside the door. Inuyasha walked to the door but glanced at them a couple of times suspiciously and opened the door. Miroku walked inside and grabbed clothes and went into the bathroom to shower and change. Sango was trying very hard to keep in her laughter as Inuyasha looked at them both so she ran to Kagome and grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room and ran downstairs and waited outside. A few minutes later both guys came out looking at the girls carefully. The girls led the way to the park with the boys following behind.
PARK.
They all sat on a park picnic table with hamburgers and french fries. Sango kept looking at Inuyasha with a smirk every so often and it was starting to piss him off. Miroku kept looking at Sango oddly but didn't say anything.
"Ok why the hell do you keep looking at me like that!" Inuyasha asked as he put his burger down. Sango's smirk grew as she shook her head and took a bite out of her burger. Kagome watched as she ate her fries. He sighed as he picked his burger back up and took a bite out of it.
"Is there something you would like to get off your chest?" She asked him. He looked at her oddly before speaking.
"No...what are you talking about?" He asked her carefully.
"Nothing, nevermind." Sango said and finished her food and waited for Kagome to finish to drag her away from the table.
"I think he likes you." Sango told Kagome as they went and walked down the sidewalk.
"What?" Kagome asked with a blush covering her cheeks.
"Come on, he was checking you out in the room when your ass was in the air cause you were in the closet." Sango said and started laughing when she blushed more.
"No he wasn't." She told her as she looked back at the guys.
"Ok he was looking at your ass. I don't know what you call that but whatever." Sango said as she rolled her eyes.
"Where did they go?" Kagome asked as she stopped and saw the picnic table was empty. Sango stopped too when she heard a rustle.
"Ok for two 'legends' in a gang, your not very good at being quiet." Sango said as she crossed her arms. They heard more rustling as it grew louder and stronger. Sango dropped her arms to her sides as the sounds came from two different places. "You guys arn't funny." Sango said nervously.
"Sango?" Kagome asked quietly.
"Kagome run." Sango said in a whisper as she grabbed Kagome's hand and started to run.
"But what...AHH! SANGO!" Kagome yelled as she was pushed to the ground.
"STUPID ASSHOLE!" Sango yelled as she kept pushing Miroku off of her. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha over her looking down at her.
"Scared?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk. Kagome first looked at him with surprise but then gave him a narrowed look. He laughed when she looked at him that way.
"Inuyasha get off of her!" Sango yelled at him as she kicked him off.
"Ah fuck! Calm down Sango! It was Miroku's idea!" Inuyasha told her as he was pushed off of Kagome. Sango put a hand out for Kagome to take.
"Were you scared Sango?" Miroku asked with a smirk.
"I knew it was you two." Sango told them as she helped Kagome up. Sango and Kagome turned to walk back to the room. Miroku and Inuyasha watched them walk away. Kagome looked back once and glarred at the two before facing forward again. Inuyasha's ears drooped to the top of his head as he watched them walk away.
"Are they really mad?" Inuyasha asked as him and Miroku stood there watching them walk away. Then they heard Kagome and Sango laugh as they ran back to the hotel. Both boys headed back to the hotel also both a little confused. When they got to the hotel both girls were wearing the boys clothes to sleep in. "The whole time you were at the mall you didn't buy anything to sleep in?" Inuyasha asked as he walked in the door.
"It just looks so much better on me." Kagome told him with a smirk.
"Ya, at least we didn't rip it this time. I'd hate for you to have to question your interest in girls...or guys." Sango said not able to keep in her laughter. Kagome started laughing after seeing Inuyasha's shocked face turn into anger.
"What! Ok I was only kidding! I'm not gay! Kami! What do I have to do to prove it to you people!" He asked as he glarred at Sango.
"Inuyasha? Is there something you want to share?" Miroku asked carefully being the only one to keep in his laughter. Inuyasha glarred at him then looked at Kagome and walked over to her beside the bed.
"Listen, i'm not gay. I was only telling you could keep the sweater." He told her but she kept laughing. "Dammit, ok if I was gay would I do this!" He asked as he pulled her to him and stopped her laughing as she gasped once his mouth covered her's, the moment he felt her respond to the kiss he got carried away and leaned onto the bed hovering over her. Sango had stopped laughing also as her and Miroku watched and couldn't turn away out of shock. He suddenly pulled away realizing what he was doing and got off of her as he walked out slamming the door behind him. Kagome sat up and starred at the closed door.
"Uhh...so..." Miroku cleared his throat after the silence.
"What the hell was that about?" Sango asked as she stood up and walked out the door slamming it behind her.
"Well...we should probably leave them alone for a while. She might kill him." Miroku chuckled to himself as he headed to the back but turned around when he heard the door close once more. "Hmm...or not."
WITH.INUYASHA.
"Inuyasha!" Sango yelled as she found him on the roof of the building and walked to him. He was leaned over the railing by the side of the building his arms resting on the rail as he had his head bowed down. "Inuyasha! I know you hear me!" Sango yelled as she walked over to him.
"What the fuck do you want?" Inuyasha asked quietly not moving from his position.
"What the fuck was that!" Sango demanded as she stood beside him. "Inuyasha answer me!"
"I...I don't know." He answered quietly.
"Ok you probably don't want to tell me but at least explain to Kagome, she probably has no clue what's going on!" She told him as she crossed her arms. Her look softened when he failed to answer her once again. "Inuyasha? What's wrong?" She asked worriedly.
"Look bitch why don't you fucking mind your own business!" Inuyasha yelled as he turned to look at her.
"Hey this isn't my fucking problem, I was just wondering what's wrong don't you dare start talking to me like that when I didn't do a damn thing to you!" Sango yelled. "You wan't to try that again? What the hell is wrong with you? This is going to be a long trip so you can't just not talk to us forever." She explained more calmly. "This isn't about Kikyo is it?"
"What! Hell no! I hate that bitch! She can burn in hell for all I care! I wish we were never together! I could do a hell of alot better without the memories of her!" He yelled out in disgust.
"Then...are you afraid that you might like Kagome?" Sango asked hesitantly.
"Feh." He answered not knowing any other way to answer.
"Listen Inuyasha, your not going to get hurt again. There are very few people who even know about that. What are you going to do? Run away every time you THINK your attracted to a girl? Or boy, whatever floats your boat." She teased.
"Hey I...!" He started but chuckled lightly. "Your a bitch." He smiled slightly.
"Hey now get it straight not a bitch, the bitch." Sango corrected him with a smirk.
"Ya ya ya, whatever bitch. Just do me a favor." He said as he rested his arms back on the rail.
"What?" She asked as she looked down to try to see what he was looking at.
"Tell Kagome it wasn't her. I need to get out for a while." He told her.
"Psh do it yourself. This is your battle and may you fight it well." She said as she saluted him.
"Sango!" He pleaded.
"I will pray for your survival, but here's a secret. Your skills in your regular battles won't help you out here. This is a whole different fight and Inuyasha..."
"What?" He asked with a sigh.
"I like Kagome and I wouldn't mind being friends with her so if you hurt her i'll kill you. Later hun." She told him in a sing-song voice as she walked away.
"Sango..." He started getting her attention as she stopped and turned toward him.
"Hm?"
"Don't pray to much, I might just decide to surrender." He said, she smirked but couldn't tell what his facial expression was since he was facing the other way.
"All's fair in love and war babe." She said as she walked away.
"Love and war? Feh, war is my specialty...and love...love is a whole different ball game." Inuyasha said as he pulled out a cigarette that he found earlier in the van. "Fuck." He said as he searched his pockets.
"Looking for this?" Kagome asked as she held out his lighter. He stiffened when he heard her voice and saw the lighter slide to his feet. "It was in your jacket, I thought i'd bring you your jacket since it was getting cold out."
"...thanks." He said hesitantly not turning to look at her.
"Well at least I know your not so big on needing me for the band anymore." She told him as she threw his jacket at his feet with the lighter.
"I don't think it would matter anyways, we're not even near the club so I doubt we'll be playing anytime soon." He said as he reached down and picked up the lighter but held it in his hand with every intention to light the cigarette in his mouth.
"Why the hell did you kiss me?" She asked sternly with her arms crossed.
"I'm sorry about that, it was a mistake not like I would want to kiss you!" He said as he turned to look at her but regretted it fully when he saw hurt flash in her eyes. 'What the fuck is wrong with me? Stupid bitch needs to mind her own business. It's not me she should have never bothered me! She just has to be so damn annoying and nosey...a-and kind and sweet and...what the fuck am I thinking! God she's so cute...Fuck!' He turned back to face the railing in digust...somewhat for himself...hell he was disgusted with himself...not for thinking that...but for knowing it was true and trying to run away. Kagome finally spoke after a short silence.
"Maybe...m-maybe I should..." She started until he cut her off.
"Fuck! No one locked the van as he jumped over the side of the building after seeing guys opening the door to the van.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she ran to the side looking down but saw him standing on a window ledge two stories below. The look outs looked up to see Inuyasha and shot up with a spear gun but instead of aiming for them they aimed for the building and as the spear flew through the air they caught fire and landed on top of the roof.
"Fuck, Kagome come on jump down!" He told her still standing on the ledge.
"What!" She asked in fear.
"Come on i'll catch you!" He told her as he held out his arms. She slowly climbed over the rail but couldn't let go. "Come on!"
"I can't!" Her fists began to turn white from how tightly she was holding the rail.
"Kagome I promise I won't drop you, i'll catch you." He told her calmly, his worry evident in his eyes.
"I'm sorry I can't!" She yelled back.
"Kagome just jump down and let me protect you!" He yelled. She looked down at him with surprise and closed her eyes tightly as she let go of the rail, screaming as she fell.
"Fuck." Inuyasha said as he realized he would lose his balance if he caught her and fall. He reached out to her when she came down to him and jumped off the side and she held him tightly, he pulled out a gun that was strapped to his leg under his pants and started shooting at the guys below. He was thankful when they landed in the pool. Still holding onto her he got out of the pool but put her down. He heard more gunshots and figured Miroku was over there. "Listen stay right here." Inuyasha told her before running around the fence that surrounded the pool that exited into the parking lot.
"Get the fuck out of here!" She heard Inuyasha yell and slowly crept to the exit to see what was going on.
"What are you going to do about it half breed?" A guy holding a gun said.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled as he threw something to him. Inuyasha glanced over and caught the gun thrown at him and aimed the gun at the other guy.
"Get away from the van." Inuyasha stated simply as he cocked the gun, holding it aimed at the guy.
"Sure...once I get what I came for." He answered as he stepped closer to the van.
"You asked for it." Inuyasha said as he pulled the trigger sending a bullet flying at the guy but only managed to graze his arm sightly.
"Ah fuck! That's it, half breed this is your final day to live." The guy yelled as he stepped closer and took a few shots at him. Miroku was to the side fighting one of the guys who tried to escape. Kagome watched with terror as they faced each other off with guns.
"Tell me who sent you and maybe i'll spare your life." Inuyasha told him as he cocked the gun once again and held it aimed at the guy.
"What makes you think i'd tell you anything?" The guy yelled as he came running toward him.
"Fine have it your way." Inuyasha said as he waited for him to reach him and kicked him in the chest sending him back a bit.
Kagome watched as each fight went on but yelled in surprise when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you...Why are you all wet?" Sango looked her up and down to see she was soaked.
"Landed in pool from the roof. Hey, who are those guys?" Kagome asked as she turned to watch the fights once again.
"I don't know, I think they're from another gang. I wish I had my hiraikotsu so I could help because I doubt those boys can handle this on they're own." Sango joked as she watched from behind Kagome. "Stay here I'm going to try and help Miroku." Sango said seriously as she saw him get pushed to the ground and ran over. Inuyasha saw her run by and missed the guy getting up from the ground as he held the gun to Inuyasha's chest.
"You should learn to pay attention to what your doing." The guy said as he cocked his gun. Inuyasha watched him carefully as he held the gun at his side. "Drop the gun mutt." He smirked. Inuyasha watched him as he threw the gun as far as he could to the side. Kagome saw the gun slide toward her and ran to it picking it up. Inuyasha glanced over at her as she aimed the gun at the guy.
"You shouldn't get so cocky if I were you." Inuyasha grinned. The other guy smirked also and shook his head slowly.
"I'm not in the least bit worried." He smirked as he grabbed Inuyasha's shirt and aimed the gun at Kagome and shot while keeping his eyes on Inuyasha. Kagome screamed as she moved away when she noticed she was being shot at.
"You fucking bastard!" Inuyasha yelled as he grabbed his arm and pulled it away from him. Kagome reached for the gun once again and ran toward them.
"Watch it mutt." He said through gritted teeth as Inuyasha grabbed his other arm which held the gun. Inuyasha smirked as he held him and Kagome took the chance to shoot. Inuyasha let him go as he yelled in pain from being shot in the side but reached for his arm which held the gun a little to late as he took a shot at him, shooting Inuyasha on the arm.
"Agh! Dammit to hell! You fucking bastard!" Inuyasha yelled through gritted teeth.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she ran over but stopped when he looked at her and shook his head but threw the gun to him. Inuyasha caught it with his other hand and aimed it at the guy shooting him in the leg then arm. Kagome turned away not wanting to watch the grusome scene.
"Aghh!" The guy yelled in pain as he lied there trying not to move to much so not to cause himself any more pain then he already was in. Another yell was heard then silence when Sango let the other guy fall to the ground after holding him a sleep hold. Inuyasha ran over to Kagome as Miroku ran into the hotel.
"We have to get out of here." He said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the van. Sango came a few minutes later.
"Oh god...are you ok?" Kagome asked hesitantly knowing it was a stupid question to ask.
"Ya, fine." He said as he opened the back van door.
"Hey everyone is evacuating the hotel through the front. Miroku is getting our stuff." Sango said as she got in the front. Miroku came running with two suit cases and threw them in the back.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked as he dodged a suit case.
"Back up! Close the doors!" Miroku yelled as he got in the drivers seat and looked for the keys.
"Fuck!" Inuyasha yelled when gunshots were being made toward them. A bullet hit the van door and Inuyasha pushed Kagome down covering her with his body as he grabbed a gun and shot at them. Miroku grabbed the keys from the glove compartment and shoved them into the ignition and sped out of there the moment the engine started up. "About god damn time Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to reach for the back door but ducked down when a bullet was shot hitting the mattress.
"I told you to close the doors!" Miroku yelled back as he drove out of the parking lot and raced down the highway. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome to see her covering her ears and her eyes tightly shut. He pat her arm trying to get her attention. He felt bad for making her have to go through something like this. She looked up at him and dropped her hands from her head.
"You ok?" He asked as he watched her look at the open doors.
"Ya...a-are you?" She asked hesitantly as he lifted himself off of her and reached for the back doors and shut them closed.
"Next time I suppose you'll listen to me." Miroku yelled from upfront.
"Ok Miroku, just drive." Inuyasha told him as he went back to sit against the van side. Kagome looked at him worriedly and went to the side and got the bandages and antiseptic.
"Here let me..." She started but stopped when he looked up at her as he held his arm.
"No I have to get the bullet out." He told her as he started to pull his shirt off. Sango pushed the screen that was blocking the front form the back to the side as she crawled to the back.
"Need some help?" Sango asked as she went over to Inuyasha's side. "Oh my god that looks bad." She said as she looked at his arm.
"No, are you fucking serious?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically. She glarred at him and looked around the van. "Miroku! Throw me my purse!" She yelled to him and heard a rustle before the purse came flying to her. "Thanks. Ok we really need to get that bullet out because you are bleeding alot." Sango stated as she dug through her purse.
"No kidding, what do you suggest I do to get it out? Cut my arm off?" He asked as he rolled his eyes.
"What are you going to do Sango?" Kagome asked curiously as she watched her dig through her purse.
"Ah there. I'm going to get that bullet out. We can't go to a hospital because those guys are probably tailing us, we need to get the bullet out now before it goes in to deep." Sango explained as she held up tweezers and put her purse to the side.
"With...that?" Kagome asked hesitantly and gave Inuyasha another worried look.
"Yup. This may hurt Inuyasha." She grinned as she scooted closer to him.
"I have a feeling your going to enjoy this." Inuyasha gave her a narrowed look.
"No how can you say something like that? Now move your hand." Sango said as he glarred at her and slowly brought his hand to his side. She held his arm to her and brought the tweasers to his wound making him pull back and hold his arm with his hand.
"God damn bitch! That fucking hurts!" He yelled through gritted teeth. She rolled her eyes.
"Like I said, this may hurt. Inuyasha you are such a baby. You need to move your hand so I can do this. Kagome can you hold his arm back please?" She asked as she held his wounded arm again.
"Umm...sure." Kagome said hesitantly as she grabbed his arm.
"Make sure you hold him good cause he'll only make this hurt worse if he moves." Sango explained.
"Keh." He watched her grab the antiseptic and spray the tweezers.
"Forgot." Sango dried them off. "Maybe you should look the other way." She warned.
"Why? Just get this over with." He told her.
"Fine, look the other way and I will, i'm not gonna do it if your watching me." Sango crossed her arms. He sighed and looked toward Kagome.
"Whatever." He said and waited for her to continue. "Ah fuck!" He yelled when he felt the tweezers slowly enter his wound. "Dammit hurry up!"
"Shhh...stay still." Kagome said as he arched his back against the wall.
"Ya i'd like to see you stay still through this." Inuyasha told her through gritted teeth. "Ah!" Inuyasha yelled when Sango grabbed his ear and pulled it.
"Inuyasha be nice." She said simply as she let go and grabbed the antiseptic and tossed it to Kagome.
"Are you done wench?" Inuyasha asked as he rubbed his ear.
"Yup...got it while you were complaining and whining." Sango smirked as she threw the tweezers into a small trash bin.
"I wasn't whining. Bitch go back to the front." He said as he pulled his arm away from Kagome.
"Was planning on it." Sango stuck her tongue out as she headed to the front.
"Here let me help you." Kagome said as she picked up the bandages.
"Hey...about earlier..." He started but hissed once the antiseptic was poured on his wound.
"Don't worry about it." Kagome blew on the wound and picked the bandage up.
"No listen to me..." He said as he stopped her from putting the bandage on. "I don't do this much so cherish the moment."
"What are you talking about Inuyasha?" Kagome looked at him in confusion. He sighed and turned to face her.
"You guys! Looks like we're sleeping in the van tonight." Miroku yelled to them.
"Ok! Find somewhere to park then!" Inuyasha yelled in irritation from the interruption.
"Inuyasha, we're going to stop at a park...maybe you should take a walk." Sango suggested, he opened his mouth to respond but closed it thinking she was right.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked hesitantly.
"Ya...sorry it wasn't you or anything." He simply stated.
"Umm...ok...and before I forget, thanks for protecting me." Kagome blushed as she started to bandage his arm.
"Ya..."
"So what's going on? I know you talked to him." Miroku said quietly.
"What are you talking about?" Sango smirked as she leaned against him.
"You know, what was the deal with that kiss and all. Also, why did you leave them two back there by themselves? I don't know if that was a great idea." Miroku explained as he put his free arm around her.
"Ya? Hmm, well, I think they should learn to get along."
"But what happend?" He asked again when she didn't answer. She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek before making herself comfortable. He sighed knowing what she was doing and dropped the subject.
"Miroku?" Sango asked after a few minutes of silence passed.
"Hm?"
"What is in those suit cases that we're delivering?" She looked up at him curiously.
"Hmm...I don't know actually. All I care is that we deliver it so we can go back home." Miroku said as he rubbed her arm, wondering also what could be in them.
"Ya I guess your right. You think we can get some food?" She asked as her stomach growled. Miroku chuckled and nodded.
"Ya, i'll get Inuyasha to go with me to get some food." He said as he parked the van into a parking lot.
"Oh Inuyashaaaaa." Sango called out.
"What do you want?"
"Go with Miroku to get us some food." She ordered as she got out of the van and opened the back door.
"What? Why?"
"Cause i'm hungry now go!" Sango said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the van and threw his shirt at him and closed the door after getting in.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha pulled his shirt on and looked at Miroku who only shrugged.
"Hey I was thinking..." Miroku started as they started walking down the sidewalk.
"That's never safe." He mumbled. Miroku gave him a narrowed look before continuing.
"This is going to get very dangerous, I mean look what happend today...you even got shot. You havn't been shot since the first year you joined the gang which was like..."
"Three and half years ago, and your point is?" Inuyasha crossed his arms but regretted it and dropped them to his sides when pain shot through his arm from the movement.
"Well, we should call someone for help. Plus to also bring more weapons and stuff." Miroku explained.
"Ok...call Koga." Inuyasha agreed.
"W-what?..." Miroku stopped and looked at him with surprise.
"I said call Koga." Inuyasha repeated as he stopped too.
"You agree? That easily? Ok who are you and what have you done with my friend Inuyasha?" Miroku watched him suspiciously.
"Miroku cut the crap. Just call Koga and have him pick up my sword and some weapons." Inuyasha ordered as he continued walking.
"Ok...may I ask why the towel was thrown in so easily?" Miroku asked as he caught up to walk beside him.
"You said so yourself, I havn't been shot in about three and half years. It's going to be hard to do this. Sango can't help that much without her boomerang which will not fit in the van and i'm not being responsible for anyone getting hurt." Inuyasha told him.
"You won't be responsible for anyone getting hurt or you won't allow Kagome to get hurt?" Miroku wondered aloud.
"Call him." Inuyasha stated as he pulled out his cell phone and tossed it to Miroku. Miroku dialed the number with a roll of his eyes.
"Koga! Whats up?" Miroku asked cheerfully.
"...not much...what do you want and what do I have to do?" Koga asked in mono-tone.
"Why do you think you have to do something?"
"Miroku i'm not stupid. What do you want?" Koga asked again.
"Ok do you think you can help us with a mission? We need you to pick up tetsusaiga and a few other weapons and meet us...uhh...a few miles out of Yokohama. Can you get a ride and come down here and do that for us?" Miroku asked.
"Ugh, you guys are a pain in the ass. But i'll do it. Give me a certain place to meet you."
"Hmm, I guess meet us at..." Miroku stopped to look at a map before continuing. "The Plaza Hotel on 45th and Yume Street. I guess we'll rent a room there the day after tomorrow. That should be enough time for you to get down here." Miroku told him and started walking once again to catch up with Inuyasha.
"Ok, I guess i'll go pick up the stuff right now and head down there." Koga said and hung up the phone. Miroku hung the cell up before giving it back to Inuyasha.
"He's on his way. We'll meet him at The Plaza which is about an hour away." Miroku explained.
"Alright...let's get the food and head back already." Inuyasha walked into a cafe. They both sat at a table in silence as they waited for the food with their own trays of fries. 'Two years and I get shot. I bet that was the first time Kagome had to ever use a gun, if I screw up again she could end up getting shot instead of it being me...having weapons will help alot...fuck, I need a cigarette.' Inuyasha thought to hemself as he ate his fries. 'Why should I care if I smoke or not? It's not like I have to be in that band anyways...what's going to happen when we finish this menu? I doubt anything will be the same, I might not be able to see...' His thought were interrupted when the waitress came over.
"Here you go boys, have a good evening." The waitress said as she handed them the 'to go' bags. They nodded and walked out of the cafe.
"Hey...what is going to happen after we complete this mission?" Miroku asked out of curiosity.
"We go back home?" Inuyasha looked at him questioningly.
"No I mean with the gang. Yash you don't need the gang. Give yourself a reason to quit."
"Why the fuck would I do that?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Do you seriously want to live a life doing this all the time? Shippo and Sango had the right idea to quit a long time ago, let's take their example and do the same." Miroku tried to convince him.
"Miroku there is nothing that can get me to leave the gang. Leave if you want." Inuyasha told him as he walked ahead. Miroku sighed as he followed behind.
'Kagome you seem to be the only thing that can bring him to quit. It just seems you two need a little help.' Miroku grinned as he thought.
2.DAYS.LATER. THE.PLAZA.HOTEL.
"Where did those two go?" Kagome asked as she walked out of the bathroom from her shower.
"Left." Inuyasha stated as he kept his eyes on the t.v.
"Oh...Inuyasha?" She started.
"Ya?" He asked and she sat on the side of the bed he was on.
"Are you mad at me?" Kagome looked at him.
"No, why?" Inuyasha asked as he turned to look at her.
"Well you havn't said much to me for two days now."
"What did you want me to say?" He asked in confusion.
"I dunno, nothing specifically. Just when I thought about the bright side of this situation I figured i'd probably get to know you and the others better. Hasn't really gone how I planned. I just seem to be pissing you off alot." She explained with a tinge of pink over her cheeks.
"Your not pissing me off. If you want to talk then talk. I'm not stopping you." He told her and looked back at the t.v.
"Nevermind." She sighed and walked to the other bed and lied down facing the other way. After a few minutes of just the sound of the t.v. Inuyasha sighed and turned the t.v. off.
"Ok, you want to get to know us? What do you want to know? There's nothing to tell...hmm...my favorite color is red, my favorite food is Ramen and i'm not gay." Inuyasha smirked as he got her to turn around and face him as she laughed.
"I know your not gay. Sheesh, you think you could forget about that." She told him as she threw a pillow at him. He caught the pillow and used it to lie back on.
"Not easy, can't forget about that day." He told her openly.
"Ya that was a crazy day, all the fighting and stuff. That was the scariest thing ever." Kagome gave a slight laugh.
"Ya that was crazy and all but that's not what I was talking about and you know it." He told her making her blush.
"...well, just forget about it...I know your not gay so you don't have to try and prove it to me anymore. Oh ya and about yelling at you...sorry about that." She apologized.
"Happens...ok what do you want to talk about since you made me turn off the t.v.?" He asked.
"I dunno..."
"You made me turn off the t.v. to talk but you don't even know what to talk about?" He asked as he sat up and threw the pillow at her.
"Hey! Not my fault, I just thought you were mad at me." She grabbed a pillow and swung it at him.
"Oi wench, i'm not mad but your going down." He grinned as he got a pillow to fight off her pillow. She got off the bed and got on the one he was on to make the impact of the pillow stronger.
"You wish, i'm so going to win this." Kagome smirked.
"Ah watch the arm!" He yelled as he lied back. She stopped and looked at him worriedly.
"Are you ok?"
"Sike!" He yelled and attacked her with the pillow.
"You cheater!" She yelled as she hit him with the pillow then stepped off the bed. He stopped when she dropped her pillow to the floor and grabbed the side of the comforter that he was sitting on.
"Wench you better..." He started but stopped as the comforter was pulled off the bed with him on it. He grabbed her as he fell to the floor so she fell also.
"Ow, why did you do that?" She asked as she lied on the floor next to him.
"Agh, your the one who pulled the blanet off the bed WHILE I was on it." He told her as he sat up.
"Whatever, I won." She smirked. He grabbed a pillow and put it over her face.
"Ya right." He held the pillow down.
"Yup i'm right." She said as she pulled the pillow off of her.
"Whatever." He said and lied back on the floor. Kagome turned over to lie on her stomach and faced him.
"So...I told you my favorite food, color and that I like girls. Your turn." He smirked.
"Ok, I like guys." She laughed.
"Well I guess that makes two of us that arn't gay." He chuckled.
"Ya, girls arn't my style."
"You have style?" He asked playfully.
"Very funny." She smirked. "Yes I have style...at least I hope I do."
"Don't worry, I was only kidding. Don't tell Sango or she'll kill me." Inuyasha chuckled.
"I won't...unless you bug me. No i'm not that mean, I won't." She laughed. "Do you consider Sango and Miroku your best friends?" She asked curiously.
"Ya I guess so. Sango is more like a sister to me...so is Miroku. No just kidding, he's like a brother to me." He laughed.
"Arn't you sweet." She giggled.
"You know it." He smirked.
"So you trust them?"
"With my life. Then there's Koga, he's a good friend I suppose. You'll get to meet him sometime today. He can be annoying but he really is a good friend, I mean he's coming down here to help us. Miroku, him and me have been partners in the gang for a long time now. Sango and Shippo used to be in it too but then they quit." Inuyasha explained.
"Oh, What are you going to do if Miroku quits?" Kagome looked over at him curiously.
"I go on with Koga unless he leaves then i'm on my own with the gang, what else would I do?" He asked as if it was obvious.
"You don't want to quit?"
"Nope, and I don't have any intentions of doing so." He clarified before she started up about it again.
"Oh..."
"What about you and what's up with your friend and my broth...half-brother?"
"Oh Rin, ya I think she likes him. She is forward with how she feels. If she feels it she'll let you know. She's always been there for me." She explained with a smile.
"Ya well then what's up with that guy? He fucking pisses me off."
"Oh Hojo? I don't know. He has been asking me out but...I don't know. Kind of surprised me when he turned on you guys like that." She sighed as she closed her eyes. "I never thought he'd do that."
"He was saying that we would turn on you and kill you or something but to me it seemed the other way around. By the way do you want to call Rin and tell her whats going on?" Inuyasha asked her in a soft voice.
"Oh my gosh you right! Yes please." She said as she shot up to a sitting position and took the phone he offered to her and dialed her number.
RIIINNG RIIINNG
"Hello?"
"Rin! Oh my gosh I need to talk to you! Ok sorry I havn't been there but I..."
"Kagome! Where are you?" Rin asked surprised to hear from her friend.
"I'm...uhh...at some hotel in Yokohama." Kagome told her nervously.
"What!"
"Ya...i'm here right now with Inuyasha and Sango and Miroku are somewhere around here." Kagome explained.
"Oh wow, shaking up in a hotel with Inuyasha? My my." Rin giggled.
"Rin! Goodness, now I regret calling you." Kagome said as she sat againt the side of the bed. Inuyasha had gotten up and walked off when the screaming was to much for him. "No i'm not shaking up with anyone...hold on. Inuyasha where are you going?" She asked when Inuyasha walked to the door.
"I'll be back, I don't really think you want me hearing about who your shaking up with." Inuyasha chuckled as he walked out of the room leaving a blushing Kagome sitting there and glarring at a phone where she heard laughing on the other end.
"Shut up Rin." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Oh wow, that was great. Ok ok sorry. So why are you in Yokohama?" Rin asked more seriously.
"Well Inuyasha and Miroku got a mission when Sango was taking me home and Sango had to pick up a van so I did her a favor and followed her with her car so we could go home afterwards, well one of the guys in the gang took Sango's keys mistaking them for something else so we had no where to go plus there were cars coming after us so we had to leave so me and Sango were forced to go too. Now we're on our way to Hong Kong to deliver a few suit cases." Kagome explained as if it was normal. Rin was speechless at first.
"...H-Hong Kong?" Rin repeated.
"Ya...it's crazy. Oh ya! We got attacked two days ago by some other gang trying to get the suit cases. Inuyasha got shot it was terrible. It was kind of my fault he got shot so I feel sooo bad. I'm trying not to be a pain or anything but their telling me to act normal and stuff. I had to jump off the side of a building! It was scary! The gang caught the roof on fire which was where I was at the time with Inuyasha. He made me jump off the side and he caught me but he fell off the side and we landed in the pool at the motel. I had to shoot some guy, it scared the shit out of me." She droned on as she looked around the room.
"Oh...Kami...do they know you were scared?" Rin asked curiously.
"No...I was worried bout Inuyasha since he got shot. We were actually talking for the first time before I called you. I kind of guilted him into it but he got into it too. He can be really really nice." Kagome said with a sigh.
"Sounds like someone has a crush." Rin teased with a giggle.
"Kami who cannot have a crush on him? God he's hott, he can have his nice moments." She giggled. "And oh my gosh he has such a dreamy voice. I love listening to him talk. But he can be a jerk at times. I'm trying to get him to quit smoking still. I think I can guilt him into it." She smirked.
"Wow Kaggs. Does he like you?"
"I don't think so. I think he's only putting up with me. Sango says she thinks he likes me but I doubt it." She sighed once more.
"Hey I'd love to hear you go on and on about Inuyasha but I gotta go. Oh ya I've been watching the club for you and keeping it open. I'll go by your place and check on it too." Rin told her.
"Go on and on? You were asking. Whatever. Where are you going though?" She asked curiously.
"I have a date if it's any of your business." Rin smirked.
"Oh ya? With who may I ask." Kagome asked in wonderment with a smirk pasted on her face.
"Sesshomaru." Rin stated simply.
"Oh my god! Oh wow!" Kagome laughed. "You should have said something. Ok i'll talk to you later then. Don't have to much fun." Kagome teased with a laugh.
"Ya whatever i'll have as much fun as I want." Rin joked but laughed also. "Bye."
"Bye, i'll call you later." Kagome said as she hung up. She got up and walked to the door but it opened before she had a chance to touch the knob. "Oh hi."
