Careless Whisper
Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha sadly...but you never know...it could happen!
.../CHAPTER.10...
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

Ch.10 Unexplainable Attack
RECAP.
"...if that happens again...stay away from me. Ok?" He told her and turned back to look at her.
"S-stay away?" She asked not understanding.
"I don't know what's going on...but if it's what I think then I need you to get away from me if it happens again." He explained to her. "Can you do that?" He asked in a soft tone. She realized he was only watching out for her and nodded.
"Sure...I guess if you want me to.." She agreed. He nodded with a sigh. It got quiet again before Kagome spoke up. "What...what do you think is happening?" She asked him. He looked at her and didn't answer.
"Something bad..." He said simply.
RIVAL.
"It's begun...is that all?" The man asked. "...Kikyo?" He asked when she didn't answer.
"...no." She said simply. "The girl too." She smirked.
"But we'd need her blood for that..." The man said.
"Well Kaijibou...get it." Kikyo rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.
"Yes Kikyo." Kaijinbou smirked. "Right away."
END.RECAP.
"Glad your feeling better." Sango said from the front seat while Miroku continued driving to the next ferry.
"Ya, so am I." Inuyasha sighed as he sat against the side of the van with Kagome asleep in his arms as her head rested against his chest. She had been up alot that night to be sure Inuyasha was ok. He had been through alot trying to keep from transforming. He was exhausted but couldn't sleep at all.
"So any idea why that happend?" Miroku asked curiously.
"No not at all. Whatever it is...it isn't me. That's never happend before." Inuyasha said trying to keep his voice down so he wouldn't awake Kagome.
"Do you think it could be the cause of an enemy of yours?" Miroku asked him.
"I guess that could be possible." Inuyasha nodded.
"Any idea who it could be?" Sango asked.
"No...I have way to many enemies to be able to just pick one." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Worry was edging at him as he held Kagome. He was afraid he might begin to transform and with her in his grasp he could easily hurt her. He sat uncomfortably as he slackened his grip on her.
"Have you ever thought what you would have done if you weren't in the gang?" Miroku asked curiously.
"What the hell kind of question is that?" Inuyasha asked.
"You've never thought about it? I mean look at what's happend because of being in the gang. We've been shot at and been in gun fights at early ages, actually been shot, have bad records and been close to going to jail." Miroku listed off. "What if we were never in the gang?" He asked again.
"Well...if we weren't in the gang then i'm guessing none of that would have happend." Inuyasha shrugged. Miroku rolled his eyes with a sigh.
"I'm being serious Inuyasha. Don't you think it would have been better if we didn't have to still go through all that?" Miroku asked him.
"I agree with you totally Miroku just...ok well I don't think that you guys should still have to go through all that but I think if you guys were never in the gang then everything would be different. I wouldn't have ever met you or Inuyasha, Inuyasha wouldn't have ever gone out with Kikyo...which probably would have been good but there's still the possibility that we would have never met Kagome. I know that there were alot of bad things that happend but there were alot of good times too." Sango explained. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and sighed as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. "Life is just a big adventure with it's ups and downs that we all go through sometimes more downs then ups but that how it goes." She shrugged.
"I guess your right..." Miroku agreed.
"Ya...where do you think we'd be right now if we weren't in that gang?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well...Sango would probably either be in a playboy magazine or be a cosmetology person...or even a police officer." Miroku chuckled.
"Ya in your dreams i'd be in a playboy magazine." She rolled her eyes. "You'd probably be flipping burgers at a fast food restaraunt or be the co-owner of playboy. Or maybe even be making porn movies." Sango said.
"Sango i'm hurt that you'd think i'd enjoy having a job like that." Miroku said with a hurt expression.
"Well if you weren't such a pervert." Sango laughed.
"Wow...I think i'm glad you guys joined the gang. I'd be wierded out seeing Sango in playboy...well...I also wouldn't know her so it'd be different. But I knew Miroku then...and i'd just be ashamed." Inuyasha shook his head with a sigh.
"Oh ya? Well let's see...I think Inuyasha would still be trying to make it 'big' in music making those big bucks he claimed he made which turned out to be five dollars a week." Miroku chuckled.
"I was twelve..." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Maybe he'd be doing that...or he'd be working as a secret agent like James Bond." Sango laughed also.
"Ok I was ten then..." Inuyasha muttered.
"What about when you claimed you were going to be batman?" Miroku asked as he laughed histerically.
"Damn guys! I was seven when I said that! How do you even remember that!" Inuyasha asked out of annoyance.
"Ok ok ok...No seriously...Inuyasha would probably be working with his dad or be a doctor like his mom wanted or maybe even a fashion model." Sango laughed.
"God damn, I was eleven! And my mom made me!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome opened her eyes when she heard him yelling.
"Maybe you'd be in college still. You used to claim you were going to make alot of money. I mean ya you could have made alot of money being batman but this is real life." Miroku laughed.
"...er...batman?" Kagome asked tiredly. Inuyasha blushed as he looked down at her.
"Uhh...your awake?" He asked.
"Ya...you were yelling." Kagome told him with a yawn. "So what about batman?" She asked.
"Oh Inuyas-..." Miroku started.
"Nothing, they're just being stupid." Inuyasha cut in.
"We were just talking about where we'd be if there was no gang." Sango smirked trying to keep back her laughter.
"Oh...so then...what was the deal with batman?" Kagome asked again.
"Long story." Inuyasha assured her quickly. Kagome nodded as she pulled away from Inuyasha and went to lie on the bed.
"You can tell me later." She told him as she made herself comfortable with as many pillows that she could grab and closed her eyes once again.
"Your going back to sleep?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Yes." She said simply with another yawn.
"You can't balme her, she was up all night to make sure you weren't in any pain." Sango sighed. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and saw she had already fallen asleep.
He still hadn't figured out why that had happend but he was worried more about hurting the others then about himself. Everytime he transformed he always caused havoc over everyone around him.
"Hey!" Sango said suddenly. "When you transform when your weak you can always keep yourself from changing when you have tetsusaiga." Sango told him.
"Uhh...thanks Sango...but I knew that." Inuyasha said as he made his way over to the front.
"I'm saying is maybe it would work to keep you from changing now." Sango said with a roll of her eyes.
"Ya...but you don't think people are going to think something when they see me carrying a sword around?" He asked her as if it wasn't obvious enough.
"Your really ruining my ideas." Sango said dully. "But it might work. We'll test it. Next time you feel like your beginning to transform get your sword." Sango told him.
"Feh, whatever." He said and rested his chin on his arm over the back of the front seat.
"What's with you?" Miroku asked taking a side glance at the hanyou.
"Huh?" Inuyasha asked and turned to Miroku.
"Something's on your mind. What's up?" Miroku asked.
"Nothing...I think i'll die of boredom though." He said avoiding the question. Sango laughed and pushed him back so he fell back. "Hey!" He muttered and glarred at her.
"Get used to it, it's not like we're having the time of our lives here." Sango laughed.
"Ya...how much longer till we get to the boat?" Inuyasha asked.
"Just a couple more miles. It's a good thing we left early since there is no ferry there it's going to cost money to take the boat." Miroku told him.
"So...how much longer?" Inuyasha asked again.
"...30 minutes maybe." Miroku said dully. "I figured it be better to just take the boat to Shanghai and drive to Hong Kong from there instead of going to Seoul and drive through Korea." Miroku explained to them.
"Will it be more expensive?" Sango asked.
"Probably about thirty dollars more if we do what we usually do." Miroku shrugged.
"Then let's just do that. At least we can walk around more. I think after we get back home i'll be spending alot of time walking places instead of driving. I won't be taking any road trips either." Inuyasha decided.
"You do that." Sango laughed.
"I will." He smirked.
He went to the back after he got bored again and then after a while as they neared the boat there was a noise that worried them.
"What the hell was that?" Inuyasha asked as he shot up from his lying position.
"I don't know...maybe the van?" Sango asked.
"No...I don't think so." Miroku shook his head. "Sango take the wheel for a minute." Miroku said as he made his way to the back. He reached into the suit case with the weapons and thew Inuyasha one. There was another noise from the back. Kagome awoke when the second noise hit the van. She saw Inuyasha and Miroku pulling out guns and shot up.
"What's going on!" She paniced.
"Nothing, just stay back here." Inuyasha ordered her as he made his way to the side of the van and Miroku by the drivers side once again while Sango was steering the wheel. Inuyasha opened the side door just a bit and looked behind them to see a car behind them with guys hanging out the windows with guns. He pulled back inside when they shot at him and growled. "Finally some excitement." Inuyasha smirked as he cocked his gun. He looked over at Kagome who looked a bit scared. "Just stay inside." He told her. She nodded and he reached his hand at the top of the van outside to hold himself up and aimed the gun at the guys in the black car behind them.
"I kinda missed this!" Miroku yelled over the wind to Inuyasha.
"Your telling me!" Inuyasha yelled back with a smirk as he shot at the car. "Damn...bulletproof...why don't we get cars like that!" Inuyasha asked.
"Our guys are cheap!" Miroku yelled and shot the guy who hung out the window from the backseat of the car.
"You got that right!" Inuyasha chuckled and shot at the other guy in the passenger seat the moment he was outside the window. The car swerved to the side of the road before stopping completely. "That's it! I was just getting started!" Inuyasha yelled as he watched the car stop.
"I doubt that's the end of that!" Miroku yelled back.
"I wonder how long they've been following us!" Inuyasha said.
"What do you mean!" Miroku asked.
"Well it's not coincidence that they start shooting when we're on a dead cleared street!" Inuyasha told him.
"Your right! We better get ready cause I doubt they're done!" Miroku told him. Inuyasha nodded and was about to pull back into the van when he felt himself pulsate.
"Fuck." He muttered to himself as he tried to hold onto the side of the van.
"What?" Miroku asked and looked over to Inuyasha. His eyes widened when he noticed Inuyasha's grip begin to slip. "Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled and pulled himself on top of the van and had to hold himself down when a gust of wind blew harder.
Inuyasha felt himself slipping as his the pain returned to his head. The wind seemed to be alot stronger to him all of a sudden and he thought he was going to fall off the side of the van because he couldn't control himself. His feet slipped out of the van and he held himself up by his arms but suddenly lost his grip and slipped off. Miroku reached down just in time to grab his arm. The wind blew the side door closed after he slipped off.
"Inuyasha! Pull yourself together!" Miroku yelled as he struggled to keep his grip on Inuyasha's arm.
Inuyasha felt the wind blowing against him and strained to hear over the wind. His eyes turned dark blue with the red surrounding them. He couldn't control himself this time. The wind made it harder since he had nothing to hold into. His fangs grew as his claws lengthened. He looked up and grabbed Miroku's arm.
"Dammit Inuyasha! Control yourself!" Miroku yelled.
"Oh god! What's happening!" Kagome asked as she rushed to the passnger seat since the back door had shut closed.
"...Inuyasha...he's transforming." Sango said unbelievably.
"What! Now!" Kagome paniced and looked at the side mirror and saw Inuyasha hanging on the side by Miroku's arm.
"Inuyasha! Come on! At least pull yourself up!" Miroku yelled as he tried pulling him up. Purple marks formed on the side of his face as he pulled his other arm up to grab the side of the van. He suddenly jumped up and landed on the top of the van. "Inuyasha get ahold of yourself!" Miroku yelled when he saw he had transformed.
There was a gunshot made at them and Inuyasha growled as he looked to the back at the car behind them once again. He growled and then looked at Miroku. Inuyasha stood up as if the wind didn't bother him at all and ran to the back of the van and jumped off as he landed on the car behind them. He looked at the guys into the windshield and growled. They tried shooting at him but the bullets bounced off and hit the side.
"We have to do something." Kagome said.
"Ya but you said so yourself that next time Inuyasha transforms he said to stay away from him." Sango told her.
"Ya but it's not like I would always listen to him anyways." Kagome said and went back to the back of the van.
"Inuyasha will be pist if he finds out you disobeyed him." Sango told her.
"What is he, my keeper now? I don't care. He's the one making these riskful stunts. Well it's my turn now." She said as she opened the side door.
"Well you drive and let me go then!" Sango told her.
"No, I got it." Kagome assured her.
"Ugh...Kagome!" Sango yelled.
"Sango...I have to do something." Kagome told her.
"...Fine! Take him his sword then." Sango said and pointed to the suit case while looking at the road.
"Why?" Kagome asked.
"Just do it. He needs it." Sango told her.
"Ok." Kagome said as she reached into the suit case and pulled out the sword. "Got it." She said and went back over to the side door. She grabbed the top of the van outside and pulled herself up to the top of the van. When Miroku noticed her, he rushed over and helped pull her up.
"What are you doing!" Miroku asked her.
"Helping." She said simply and looked at the car and saw Inuyasha on top of the small black car. "Inuyasha you dumbass get over here!" Kagome yelled trying to get his attention.
"He can't hear you. He dosn't recognize your voice. He's like a different person. If you get in his way he'll kill you." Miroku explained to her.
"What?..." Kagome asked. 'He can't hear me? How am I supposed to help him then? Damn you Inuyasha. Well...you've saved me...now it's my turn.' She thought.
"Hey! We're getting to the boat!" Sango yelled from inside.
"We need to get him back over here." Miroku muttered. Kagome pulled off the sheath to the sword and threw it at Inuyasha. Luckily the wind was blowing in that direction so it went straight toward him.
Inuyasha felt the object hit him on the back and turned around and picked it up. He looked up over at the van and saw Kagome holding the sword. He growled as he stood up with the sheath in his hand.
"Shit. He's going to attack." Miroku said.
"Come on Inuyasha." Kagome said quietly to herself. Inuyasha jumped off the car and jumped to the top of the van. The driver of the car saw him jump off and swerved off the road. Inuyasha looked at Miroku then at Kagome and figured Kagome had thrown the object since she had the sword. Miroku stepped in front of Kagome to protect her.
"Inuyasha snap out of it!" Miroku yelled. Inuyasha growled and pushed him out of the way and pounced on Kagome pushing her back. She screamed as she fell back and landed on her back on top of the hood of the van with Inuyasha over her. Sango screamed as she slammed on the breaks. Inuyasha growled and raised his hand up to attack her. Kagome closed her eyes tightly and pushed the sword up against his chest to push him away from her. She lied there with her eyes closed waiting for the attack but then slowly opened her eyes when the growling subsided and the attack never came. She saw Inuyasha looking around as he sat on top of her with his amber eyes.
"Thank the gods." Kagome muttered as she sat up and hugged Inuyasha. Sango got out of the van and rushed over. Miroku jumped off the side of the van.
"Ha! I knew it would work!" Sango said happily. "But damn! You didn't need to give me a heart attack! I think you just cut off a couple of years off my life." Sango said as she brought her hand over her chest.
"He's ok now?" Miroku asked.
"Ya." Sango nodded.
Kagome took a deep breath in relief before pulling away. Inuyasha had a pained look on his face as he realized what had happend.
"I told you to stay away!" He yelled at her.
"What!" Kagome asked.
"Inuyasha...she just saved your ass." Sango told him. Inuyasha got off of her and jumped off the hood of the van. Kagome sat up and he held his arms out to help her down.
"Uh...Sango...let's get back in the van." Miroku said as he led her to the drivers door. Kagome sat at the edge of the hood and let him pull her off. She was surprised when he didn't let her go and held his arms around her tightly.
"...Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. 'I thought he was mad at me...' She thought. He didn't answer as he tightened his grip around her and pulled her closer to him if it was even possible.
"What is he doing? I thought he was mad at her?" Sango asked as she looked over at them through the window.
"I think he's more mad at himself. He figured out that he was about to hurt her and got mad. He's just glad she's ok." Miroku explained to her. Sango nodded in understanding and sat back.
"He better hurry cause we're almost there." Sango said.
"Ya...hey...I wonder...was Inuyasha ever this concerned about Kikyo?" Miroku asked.
"Uhh...I don't know...I don't think so, but that was because Kikyo could take care of herself. She always attacked him when he transformed. Inuyasha was stupid and thought she was just protecting herself." Sango explained and rolled her eyes at his stupidity.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked again. Inuyasha sighed as he held her.
"You idiot. I told you not to come near me if that happend." He told her in a near whisper.
"I know but I didn't want you to get hurt. You can't always be the hero you know." She told him. He chuckled and pulled away before he leaned down and locked her lips with his own. She giggled when she felt his fang graze her bottom lip. He pulled away and held her against him once again.
"I can't...exactly control what I do or say when I transform so your in danger if you do that. I don't even know what's going on so you can't be doing that. Ok?" He asked.
"I'm not going to promise I won't try and help but i'll try." She told him with a sigh.
"Kagome..." He started.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to see you having to go through that." She apologized.
"Ok." He sighed. "You better try hard." He told her. She nodded before he pulled away and led her back to the van.
"Bout time. We're almost at the place so we should hurry. Those guys arn't going to wait forever, they'll probably attack so we have to hurry." Sango told them as she started the engine.
"Ok then get going." Inuyasha told her.
"On it." She said as she stepped on the gas as she drove them to the place they were headed.
"At least we know a way to get Inuyasha back to himself." Miroku said.
"Ya and it was my idea!" Sango said happily. "Told you it might work."
"Whatever." Inuyasha said as he held Kagome close to him. He had been so scared when he had changed back. When he realized he was about to attack her he felt as if his heart had stopped. 'If it wasn't for Sango's suggestion then I could have hurt Kagome. If it hadn't have worked though then...' Inuyasha looked up as the van began to slow down. "What's going on?" He asked.
"There's a line...we're gonna have to wait probably five...ten minutes tops." Sango assured him.
"Well at least we're safe for now since there's a big crowd." Inuyasha sighed.
"Maybe you should keep the sword with you..." Miroku suggested.
"You don't think people will find that a little wierd?" Inuyasha asked.
"When have you ever cared what other people thought?" Sango asked him with a smirk.
"True...fine. I guess I can carry it or something." Inuyasha said.
"Look, you don't have to carry it..." Kagome said as she grabbed the sword and untied the two pieces of leather hanging off the top. "Just have it at your side." She told him and tied it to his belt loop. "Then it's at your side if you need it and you can easily grab it." She told him. He looked down and made sure it was secure then looked up at her.
"Ya, that way you can learn to listen to me." He told her. She rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Right." She said. He chuckled and led her mouth to his. She laughed before kissing him back.
"Hey now, no need for that. Do we need to get you two a hotel room?" Miroku asked.
"What for? We're already in the back of a van. Isn't that cliche enough?" Inuyasha asked with a laugh.
"Holy shit..." Sango said.
"What!" Kagome asked thinking something was wrong.
"Miroku is banned from hanging out with Inuyasha the rest of the trip. I think Miroku is beginning to rub off on Inuyasha." Sango said.
"And i'm so proud." Miroku said with a smirk.
"Right." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Your right...maybe I shouldn't be with you anymore Inuyasha. You might be better with Miroku." Kagome told him.
"What? Ya right." Inuyasha said.
"Well...you could still be a little gay so..." Kagome started but stopped when she heard a growl from Inuyasha. "I'm just kidding, calm down." She laughed.
"We need to do something about this. Sango is to bossy." Miroku nodded.
"Excuse me?" Sango asked.
"Ya...your right...throw her back here." Inuyasha told him. Miroku chuckled and pulled Sango out of her seat and threw her to the back on the mattress.
"Ah! What the hell!" Sango asked.
"What are you doing!" Kagome asked.
"Teaching Miss. Sango a lesson." Miroku said.
"Ya well when you guys get beat to death don't come crying to me." Kagome warned them. Inuyasha left Kagome's side and crawled over to the matteress and held Sango's arms down.
"Ha. What now bitch?" Inuyasha smirked. Sango smirked and swung her legs up and was about to kick him when there was alot of honking that started up.
"Now look what you guys did." Sango said. Kagome ran to the front and pulled the gear into drive and pushed the gas.
"It's under control it seems like." Miroku shrugged.
"We're getting closer. I think we'll be able to make it on this boat. We have to pay at the front it looks like though." Kagome explained as she looked ahead.
"Oh god look out!" Miroku said pointing ahead.
"Ah! What!" Kagome asked as she slammed on the breaks and Miroku started laughing as a whole bunch of cars behind them started honking their horns.
"You idiot!" Sango yelled as she pushed Inuyasha back and slapped Miroku on the back of the head.
"Ow." Miroku said as he continued to laugh.
"Damn...you gave me a freaking heart attack!" Kagome yelled as she held her hand to her chest and slowly pushed the gas again.
"What are you fucking stupid!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I'm sorry...but you should have seen her face." Miroku said trying very hard to stop laughing cause if he didn't he knew he'd be in trouble from the look on Inuyasha's and Sango's faces.
"Stupid dumbass!" Sango yelled and went to the front. Miroku finally stopped his laughing.
"I'm sorry Kagome." Miroku he said keeping a smile back.
"It's ok...sheesh...calm down guys. We didn't die or anything." Kagome said. "Hey. Money. We're at the entrance, someone needs to pay." Kagome told them. Sango looked over at Miroku and Miroku looked at Inuyasha as Inuyasha looked back at him.
"Why me!" Miroku asked. They both glarred at him and he sighed as he pulled out his wallet. "Ok fine." Miroku sighed as he gave the money to Kagome. Kagome took it and handed to the guy and the man handed her a ticket. "Trying to break a poor guy."
"Man, you were already poor what are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome pushed the gas and went up the ramp to the boat and stopped the car.
"Yay, we've arrived." Kagome said and opened the door.
"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked.
"Getting out of here. Like I want to be stuck in the van. I'm going for a walk." She said as she got out of the van.
"Why didn't we have to go downstairs?" Sango asked.
"Dammit...I knew it looked like I gave him to much money." Miroku sighed.
"You paid for top deck?" Inuyasha asked with a chuckle. "Nice going."
"Way to go Miroku. Hope we won't need that money." Sango told him.
"I'm going to go find Kagome." Inuyasha said simply before getting out of the van.
"Ya don't forget about those guys." Sango warned him.
"I know..." He said before he walked off.
"Think it's safe?" Miroku asked.
"Well Inuyasha should be able to protect her." Sango said confidently.
"That may be true but I was talking about Kagome being safe from Inuyasha." Miroku said.
"Oh...well...he has the sword." Sango said with a nod.
Inuyasha walked to the front of the boat where there were benches and a rail along the front and saw Kagome standing there. He walked up behind her and slipped his arms around her waist and looked over her shoulder.
"Havn't you gotten enough of the water yet?" He asked her as he watched the waves clash with each other.
"Nope. It's so pretty. Scary but pretty." She laughed.
"How is it scary?" He asked curiously.
"Cause if you look down you could fall and drown and that would kind of suck." She laughed again.
"Ya it kinda would." He chuckled.
"So how exactly did you guys get us on a boat? I'm not exactly stupid. It would cost probably over a thousad dollars to get on a boat." Kagome told him.
"Er...ya...I guess you under-estimate what we're capable of." Inuyasha shrugged.
"What do you mean?" She asked and turned in his arms to face him.
"We made reservations...sort of..."
"Sort of?"
"Someone called in for us. Chill Kagome. It's nothing. It's normal for us." He told her.
"Oh...so...we're not exactly paying for this?" She asked.
"Not totally. Just don't worry about it." He told her and lifted her up to sit on the railing. She widened her eyes and held onto his arms.
"Inuyasha!" She said and looked behind her down at the water. "What if your not allowed to sit on this?"
"So? We need to talk first." He told her. She looked at him with a questioning look and stayed silent. "You don't like what's going on...I can tell...then why do you stay with me?" He asked her.
"...What are you talking about?" She asked. "You mean why I like you?"
"I guess..." He nodded.
"Are you serious?...What does what you do have to do with it?"
"It has to do alot with it." He told her.
"No it doesn't." She told him while giving him an odd look.
"What I do is what I am, I..." He started but she put her hand over his mouth.
"It's not what you are. Ya I don't really like what you do but I like you for you. I don't really care about that cause it's your choice to stay in it. It's your life to live." She told him. He smirked and pulled her to him and lied back on the bench.
"So that means you don't care what I do?" He asked.
"Yes...except smoking." She told him knowing what he was getting at.
"I thought you didn't care?" He complained.
"Ya...I said it's your life to live also. Not your life to kill yourself." She rolled her eyes and turned so her back was to his chest as she looked up at the sky. He sighed and looked up as he rested his head on the armrest.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked after a while of silence. The boat had already took off by this time.
"Hm?"
"You havn't ever actually gotten in trouble before have you?" She asked out of wonderment.
"Depends what you mean by trouble." He said simply with his eyes closed.
"By what you do. You know...you've never gotten caught have you?" She asked.
"A couple of times." He nodded.
"You have? What happend?" She asked curiously.
"Well there was only one time that was bad. The others was just minor stuff." He shrugged.
"So...you've getten caught and you still do it though?" She asked.
"Ya...used to it." He said. "It's hot out here. Let's go inside and find our sleep area." He said as he sat up.
"Ya...ok." She said and got up as he led her inside the boat. She looked around and it looked like some kind of poor excuse for a gameroom. "...wow...nice..." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Hey this isn't any cruise ship darling." He chuckled. "It's just a transporting type of boat."
"Hmm...great..." She nodded and followed him. They arrived to the room they were assigned and it was just two bunk beds in the room and a bathroom. Inuyasha sat on one of the beds and Kagome sat next to him. "So what happend when you got caught now that we found our wonderful room?" Kagome asked as she looked around from where she was.
"Gang recruition." He shrugged.
"Don't want to tell me?" She asked.
"Nothing to tell...went to jail." He shrugged again and turned his head to look at her.
"You went to jail!" She asked out of surprise.
"Ya..." He said simply.
"What for?" She asked.
"Grand theft auto." He said.
"...you stole a car?" She asked wide eyed.
"Ya it was nice too. It was a 1994 Lamborghini Diablo Anniversary Edition. Damn that thing was awesome." Inuyasha said remembering the car. "Got it the same year it came out."
"That would mean you were..." She started.
"Fourteen. I knew how to drive though. No like it was my first time driving a nice car like that. I raced that baby down all the highways passing everyone up and got arrested." Inuyasha explained with a smirk as he got into the conversation.
"Did you have to stay in jail? Cause you were only a kid..." Kagome said with shock.
"No...dad bailed me out. He was mad enough that I had stolen the car yet not very surprised but he was pissed when he found out I was speeding cause that's what got me arrested since I was a minor." He sighed.
"You sound like you were a bad kid." She told him.
"No kidding. I think my dad hated me and my mom...she just didn't know what to do with me. I did whatever I wanted whenever I wanted."
"So what happend with the recrution?" Kagome asked.
"Didn't get in. They said I shouldn't have had to have my 'daddy' bail me out. The cops were the ones who called him." He sighed. "Then I got in about 3 and a half years ago, but into another gang." He nodded.
"What about school?"
"Oh I went to school. People didn't mess with me though after I had stolen that car. I hung out with Miroku most of the time and then met Shippo too. Miroku used to be the same way until he got sent off to bootcamp for a bout a month but then got kicked out for being so bad. He had simmered down some after that though." Inuyasha explained. "Guess we changed as time went on. Went to college for about two or three years just cause my dad made me."
"Oh wow..." She said. She was amazed at what she was hearing. She was finding out so much about his life. "When you look back on it all would you have done the same thing?" She asked him curiously.
"If it would have brought me to this same spot right now? Then yes." He smirked.
"Even if you could have done better?" She smiled.
"Nope, would have done the same thing. Only so much bad stuff could have happend until it finally got better."
"Oh really?" She asked as she leaned closer to him.
"Yup." He said and let her lean toward him and place her lips over his softly. He brought his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him as he lied back. He let his hands slide up and down her back and slid his tongue into her mouth. She jumped when she heard the ringing of his cell phone and she opened her eyes and looked at him. He groaned into the kiss and let her pull away as she sat up on top of him. He reached into his pocket behind her leg and pulled out the ringing phone. He sat up and she almost fell back but her put his arm around her and pulled her to him as he answered his phone.
"Hello?" He asked when he didn't recognize the number yet thought it looked familiar.
"Hey Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Rin asked slyly when he answered the phone. She had been told the news already.
"Hi Rin, nothing. What about you?" He said and leaned forward to kiss Kagome. She pushed him away when she heard it was Rin.
"It's Rin!" Kagome asked.
"Ohh...so Kagome is right there with you huh?" Rin asked.
"Yes, she just pushed me too." He said as he glarred at the girl.
"Sorry. Let me talk to her!" Kagome told him.
"You can't say please?" He asked her.
"Sheesh just give her the phone. It's not like I called for you anyways." Rin told him.
"Ya but you called my phone." Inuyasha told her.
"...please give me the phone." Kagome said and rolled her eyes. Inuyasha held the phone out to the side at arms length and leaned forward and captured Kagome's lips with his own. Kagome was about to push him away but he pulled her closer with his free hand so her body was mashed against his. She opened her mouth to protest and he used this oppurtunity to let his tongue slip into her mouth. He brought the phone back over and put it to her ear and had planned on pulling away but hadn't managed to do that yet.
"Hello? Anyone there?" Rin asked. Kagome jumped up when she heard the voice and pulled away from Inuyasha and grabbed the phone while Inuyasha still had his tight grip around her.
"Hey Rin, whats up?" Kagome asked. Now that his other hand was free he wrapped that arm around her too and leaned down leaving light kisses and nips around her neck.
"Nothing, Koga came by the club and told me and I decided to call and we didn't think you'd ever get the phone." Rin said dully.
"We? You mean Koga's there?" She asked with a giggle when she felt Inuyasha's tongue on her neck.
"Ya...what's so funny?" Rin asked and then heard Inuyasha chuckle in the background. "Am I missing something? Why is Inuyasha laughing?"
"Uhh...no reason. So was Koga's flight ok?" Kagome asked and put her finger to her lips to tell Inuyasha to be quiet. He smirked and let his claws lightly slide across her sides. She started laughing and tried to push him away when he began to tickle her.
"Umm...yes...but I heard you had hooked up with Inuyasha, is that true?" Rin asked slyly.
"Uh huh." Kagome said and tried to push Inuyasha back as she laughed. All of a sudden he stopped and looked toward the door. Kagome looked at his questioningly but he slackened his grip on her as he got up with a growl. "Tell Koga I say hi." Kagome said as she watched Inuyasha as he went over to the door.
"Ok. Koga she said hi." Rin said to Koga. "Hey where are you now Kag?" Rin asked.
"Umm...we're on our way to Shanghai." Kagome said and watched as Inuyasha reached for the door knob and threw the door open.
"Oh it's just you." Inuyasha said and went back beside Kagome as Miroku and Sango walked in.
"So sorry to dissapoint you." Miroku rolled his eyes.
"We decided to check out the room. Wow, it's wonderful." Sango said dully as she looked around.
"Hey Rin I think i'll call you back later." Kagome said.
"Ok." Rin said.
"Oh it's Rin? Tell her I said hi!" Sango said.
"Sango says hi." Kagome laughed.
"I say hi." Rin laughed.
"Rin said hi." Kagome told Sango. "Ok i'll talk to you later Rin. Bye."
"Bye." Rin said and hung up.
"So what now?" Kagome asked.
"Don't know. I want to take a nap though." Sango said and climbed up to the top bunk. Inuyasha walked to the other top bunk but Kagome stood up and put his hand in front of him. "What?"
"Don't even think it. This one's mine." She warned him.
"You can sleep on the bottom." He told her.
"Psh, that's what you think." She told him. "For now i'm going for a walk. You better not be in my bed." She warned him.
"You can't go by yourself." Inuyasha told her.
"Why not?"
"Cause it's not safe." He told her.
"I'll go with her." Miroku said.
"Ok let's go." Kagome said and walked out the door.
"She'll be fine." Miroku shrugged as he walked out after Kagome. Inuyasha nodded as he got up onto the top bunk once the door had closed.
"Sleep is such a good thing." Sango smiled.
"Yes it is." Inuyasha said as he made himself comfortable. He pulled the covers over himself and closed his eyes but then sat straight up when he heard a scream.
"Was that Kagome!" Sango asked as she jumped out of the bed. Inuyasha threw the covers off him before jumping off the bed.
"I think so." Inuyasha said as he rushed to the door but was stopped by some people standing in front of the door. "Move out of my way!" Inuyasha said as he pushed through the people.
"Sorry, excuse me." Sango said as she also tried to make her way through the people. Everyone had got out of the rooms to see if the scream was nearby.
"Go back to your rooms!" Inuyasha yelled at the curious people. He waited for Sango to catch up to him as he looked down the three different hallways.
"Where did it come from..." Inuyasha said mostly to himself. He smelled the air and realized her scent was fresher from the hallway that went straight ahead. "This way!" He said as he started running down the hallway.
"I knew this would happen." Sango said as she reached behind her to pull out a gun then stopped for a minute to pull another gun from underneath her pant leg.
"Damn, prepared much?" Inuyasha asked as he watched her as they watched.
"It's a habit." She shrugged as she followed him. Inuyasha stopped when he got to the door that lead to the dock and looked at Sango.
"Here we go." He said as he opened the door but saw the dock was empty. "...what the hell...where did everyone go?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around. Three gunshots were heard and a then another scream a few minutes later from the front of the boat. "Dammit." Inuyasha said before he took off in that direction followed by Sango.
Inuyasha pulled out his sword as he ran over and Sango saw Miroku from the distance with a gun to his head. She aimed from where she was and shot the man in the arm that held the gun. He yelled in pain as he pulled away.
"Catch!" Sango said as she threw one of the guns to Miroku.
"Thought I was good as dead." Miroku said as they ran over.
"Lucky we heard screaming. Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around suspiciously.
"Not sure, I told her to run when I was fighting this guy cause some guy was shooting at her." Miroku said.
"Dammit!" Inuyasha yelled and started running down the side passing up all that people who watched from windows. He rolled his eyes at the thought of the stupid people who should be hiding. He got to the back and Kagome ran toward him when she saw him.
"Inuyasha!" She said and wrapped her arms around him as she looked behind her.
"Hey, you ok?" He asked as he looked from where she came.
"Ya...where's Miroku?"
"He's ok. Stay here." He said and pulled away from her as he walked the way she came from. A guy ran out from that way with a sword now in his hand and his eyes glowed red. "What the fuck do you want!" Inuyasha demanded as he held his sword in front of himself. The man didn't respond as he walked closer as if he didn't hear what he said. "Answer me!" He said and then ran forward and swiped at him with tetsusaiga.
He jumped out of the way before getting hit and jumped over him to Kagome. She screamed and backed up into the railing.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled as she ran to them. Inuyasha turned around and saw the demon near Kagome. He threw his sword and struck the demon in the back. The demon jumped back and reached for the sword but pushing Kagome in the process. She leaned back against the railing fearing she would fall and tightened her eyes closed but felt the arms that caught her before she could. She opened her eyes to see Inuyasha holding her as he looked at the demon who had grabbed the sword and pulled it out of his back. He looked at the sword and roared out as he watched his own blood drip down the sword. He threw his sword at Inuyasha but he moved out of the way and it went down into the water. Security Guards came and surrounded them.
"What the hell is going on!" One of the men yelled out. Inuyasha just glarred over at the demon as he held Kagome at his side. The demon smirked and looked back and watched as Inuyasha's eyes widened when he felt a pain in his back and fell forward. The sword stuck out of his back where it hit him.
"What the hell! I saw that sword fall into the water!" Sango said.
"He must be able to call the sword to himself." Miroku said.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she kneeled down next to him.
"Excuse me officer, you might want to get back." Miroku told the security guard.
"Her blood." The demon said to himself and ran forward to Kagome. He picked her up while getting a scream from her. First thing was to get away from their audience they had created. He ran in the other direction as Miroku followed behind. Inuyasha looked up a few minutes later with a growl. He scraped his long claws into the ground and pushed himself off the ground after pulled the sword from his back. He growled and looked at the people that had now surrounded him.
"Oh no..." Sango said to herself as she looked at Inuyasha. He sniffed the air and smelled Kagome's scent. He usually wouldn't care while in this state but he could smell his own scent on the girl. He looked in the direction he smelled her with his dark blue eyes that were surrounded with red. He started running in the direction as he shoved through the people that were around him.
"What happend to that boy?" Someone asked aloud as they noticed the difference in his appearence.
"Dammit." Sango said as she took off after him once she picked up his sword. Inuyasha followed the scent to a resting room. He ran in to find the demon, Miroku and the girl he had recognized by scent.
"You here for the girl?" The demon asked.
"I havn't figured that out yet actually." Inuyasha said in a low menacing growl.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome said quietly when she saw him transformed once again.
"You've changed in appearance I see." The demon said.
"What do you care? Why don't I just kill you now to stop all the small talk." Inuyasha growled out as he flexed his fingers.
"So the girl means nothing to you?"
"I don't know. I already said that, idiot." Inuyasha said.
"Your scent is all over the girl...well since you don't mind I just need some of her blood."
"Excuse me!" Kagome asked.
"He remembers her...?" Miroku said to himself as he watched Inuyasha as he looked over at Kagome. "Inuyasha! Remember Kagome! She's the one that helped you last time you transformed! Now's your chance to save her to return the gesture!" Miroku told him. Kagome looked over at Miroku then at Inuyasha. Kagome elbowed the demon to get away when he pulled out a smaller sword but fell forward when the demon grabbed her leg. She screamed out in pain when she was stabbed in the side.
"Stupid wench." The demon said.
Inuyasha growled from his confusion. He knew he recognized the girl's scent but couldn't figure out who she was. He could feel he had some connection with her though...a connection that seemed to be stronger then it was when he last transformed. He smelled her blood and growled out as he ran and attacked the demon out of instinct. The door flew open as Sango ran in.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled when she saw her on the floor bleeding from her arm. The demon picked her up and ran past everyone out the door. He grabbed the sword and pulled it across her arm which resulted with a scream from her.
"The blood. Here it is Miss. Kikyo." The demon smirked as he pulled the sword away but jumped up in surprise when he was being shot at. He stopped by the railing and looked at everyone as Inuyasha came running. He was shot in the arm and jumped up away from them. Inuyasha pushed him over the side but he let go of Kagome and jumped up.
Inuyasha growled and was about to attack but saw Kagome at the side of the boat leaning over the railing trying to keep her balance. She finally lost consiousness and leaned over to far. Inuyasha raced over and grabbed her arm.
"Kagome!" He yelled as the purple marks quickly dissapeared and his eyes turned back to their amber color.
"Wha...how did he transform back?" Sango asked as she ran over with Miroku.
"Now's not the time to think about that." Miroku said as he raced off into the direction he saw the demon go.
"Dammit, Kagome wake up!" Inuyasha yelled as he held onto her arm as she hung on the outside of the boat. He slowly lifted her back up as Sango ran over to help. She reched down and grabbed Kagome's other hand and helped pull her up. Everyone had come out when they had seen the man leave and clapped when Inuyasha and Sango had managed to pull the girl over the rail. Inuyasha lied her down on the dock and shook her gently ignoring all the people. "Kagome, can you hear me?" He asked.
"She's unconscious. Someone get help!" Sango yelled as she saw all the people just looking instead of doing anything.
"Kagome, come on. Wake up." Inuyasha said quietly. She slowly opened her eyes to see Inuyasha above her then felt the pain from her cuts.
"Inuyasha?" She asked with a hiss of pain.
"Don't worry we're getting someone to help. Just stay awake ok?" He asked. As long as she was awake then he knew she was ok. She could feel herself begin to black out.
"Can't...so-...rry...Inu-..." She tried to finished before she passed out.
"Dammit." Inuyasha said which was the last thing she heard from Inuyasha before she blacked out completely.
She began to wake up and turned her head and felt something close to her. She slowly opened her eyes to see Inuyasha asleep next to her on whatever she was lying on. She felt some slight pain in her arm and side and looked down to see both bandaged. It took her to recognize where she was. She was back in the van. She realized the reason the blanket must be on her is because her shirt was pretty much torn in half. She slowly tried to sit herself up but realized that just caused more pain for herself and let herself drop back down on the mattress. Inuyasha felt the movement and awoke to see Kagome now awake.
"Kagome..." He said tiredly and sat up.
"Sorry did I wake you?" She asked in a whisper.
"No it's ok." He said quietly with a relief sigh now that she was awake.
"What's going on back there?" Miroku asked and looked to the back. "Ah, Kagome." Miroku smiled when he noticed her awake.
"Kagome!" Sango asked as she slammed on the breaks.
"What the hell!" Inuyasha asked as he fell over.
"Oh...whoops...well...I guess we don't need to go to the hospital." Sango said.
"I'll drive." Miroku said as he switched spots with her.
"You were going to the hospital?" Kagome asked Inuyasha as he got up.
"We had no choice. We weren't sure if you were going to wake up or not. We were on our way to the hospital because you hadn't woken up yet." Inuyasha told her.
"Ya, the doctor that was also on the boat said that you hadn't lost to much blood so you'd be fine cause he treated you but we decided to go to the hospital since you wouldn't wake up." Sango told her as she went to the back.
"Well good thing I woke up or you guys would be dead." She said as she tried once again to sit up. Inuyasha helped her with his hand on her back to support her.
"Why?" Sango asked.
"Cause I hate hospitals. Thanks." She said and thanked Inuyasha.
"Ya good thing." Sango said.
"What now?" Kagome asked.
"We're driving through Shanghai now. But right now i'm going to change your bandages." Sango told her. Kagome looked down when she remembered about her shirt and lifted the blanket over her with a blush. Sango laughed before speaking again. "We should be in Hong Kong in a couple of days I think. Then we can go home! Yay!" Sango smiled.
"Ya, can't wait. Right now i'd like to be home in my bed." Kagome laughed. "It'd be better then this."
"Ya anything would be better then what you went through." Sango told her as Inuyasha went up to the front.
"Have you actually wondered what it was that we're delivering?" Kagome asked in a whisper as Sango started to take off her bandages.
"Ya...but I don't know if we should look. What if we get in trouble?" Sango asked.
"Ya I know..." Kagome sighed.
"Well...it's not like no one will find out...if the guys are gone." Sango said with a smirk.
"Right...just a peak." Kagome laughed.
"Of course." Sango laughed too.
"I can't wait to go home. I swear i'll die if anything else bad happens." She smiled but hissed in pain when Sango cleaned her cuts.
"Sorry." Sango apologized.
"Hey man, at least she finally woke up." Miroku shrugged.
"Ya but that shouldn't have happend. Why the hell did that happen anyway? No one knows and there was no point in that. Why would that demon attack and then run away? It was a pointless attack and he hurt people in the long run." Inuyasha said keeping his voice down so the conversation stayed between him and Miroku.
"I don't know who he was...try asking Kagome. She is the only one he came after. Out of all the people there...he only went after Kagome." Miroku said as he was also just now realizing this himself.
"But why is what I want to know. Kagome isn't involved in any of this shit! Why is she being the one attacked?" Inuyasha asked quietly.
"Ya...that's what I don't get..." Miroku said.
