Careless Whisper
Disclaimer: Nope don't own. To busy typn to argue at the moment. lol.
NOTE.- Okz, I was told Inuyasha and Kagome are moving to fast. Let me explain...I was afraid of that to begin with also but if you think about it they're moving at an ok rate...not normal cause i'll admit I also thought a few times they were moving fast but it's an ok rate I think because they arn't in love. It's just like girlfriend/boyfriend thing. No love though. They're just...affectionate I guess. Cause they like each other. Does that sound ok? lol.
.../CHAPTER.11...
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?

S.O.S. - GOOD.CHARLOTTE.
Ch.11 Delivery
RECAP.
"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.
END.RECAP.
"Kagome! Wake up!" Inuyasha yelled as he shook her gently. She was breathing hard and dripping in sweat and felt as if she had a fever.
"Kagome?" Sango asked quietly. She had sent Miroku to get water.
"Stop...it..." Kagome said quietly.
"Are you ok?" Sango asked worriedly.
"No I have a headache. Be quiet." She said and turned over so she was away from them.
"Kagome your burning up." Inuyasha told her as he put the back of his hand to her cheek.
"How do you feel?" Sango asked her.
"At this moment? Annoyed...can you stop?" She asked.
"Come on Kagome, get up." Inuyasha told her as he shook her gently once again.
"Stop!" Kagome yelled as she sat up and swung at him but stopped herself when something felt wrong, Sango and Inuyasha were both looking at her wide eyed and she looked where they were looking and saw a fire ball dissapear from her hand.
"Umm...we were just trying to help?" Sango tried still surprised.
"Th-that wasn't me..." Kagome said as she looked at her own hand wide eyed.
"...What was that?" Inuyasha asked hesitantly. Miroku opened the door and looked over at them.
"She ok now?" He asked.
"...I don't think so..." Sango answered. Kagome began to breathe hard once again.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"What's...happening to me?" Kagome asked trying not to cry. She was terrified of what had just happend.
"...What happend?" Miroku asked carefully.
"...not sure..." Sango said.
"Kagome...hey it's ok...maybe it was nothing." Inuyasha said trying to comfort her.
"Ya...you throw fire and tell me if it feels like nothing to you." Kagome told him.
"...e-excuse me?" Miroku asked a little surprised. Inuyasha scooted over next to Kagome and took her arm and started taking the bandage off.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked him. He didn't answer as he removed the bandage to find her arm healed. "Wh-what?" She looked wide eyed at her arm when she found no cut there.
"Let's just deliver this shit so we can go home." Inuyasha muttered.
"But Inuy-..." Sango started.
"Once we get there we can fix everything." Inuyasha told her. "Let's just go." He said as he watched Kagome trying to keep back the tears that threatened to fall.
"O-ok." Sango nodded. Inuyasha sighed and pulled Kagome into his embrace.
"Remember on the boat when that demon attacked?" Inuyasha whispered as Sango and Miroku both went to the front.
"Y-ya?" Kagome choked not wanting to cry.
"You need to tell me if you remember him saying anything." He told her as he rubbed her back hoping to comfort her.
"You were the one talking to him, all he said was if you remember me and you weren't sure and then he carried me to the dock." She told him.
"Anything else?" He asked with a bit of guilt.
"No I don-...wait...ya he did say something...he said 'The blood' and then some girls name." She told him.
"Did you hear the name?" Inuyasha asked hushedly.
"Ya...I think he said Miss. Kikyo, i'm not sure. But why is this happening?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha had stiffened when he heard the name. "Inuyasha are you ok?"
"Uhh...ya, i'm fine. Hey it's going to be ok. We'll fix it." He assured her and rubbed her back again as he pulled her against him.
"Ya but why?" She asked as a tear slipped down her cheek.
"I-I don't know." He said. 'Is she trying to do something to Kagome?' He wondered.
"So what do you think is going on?" Sango asked as Inuyasha got into the drivers side to take his turn driving and Miroku got in the back to get some rest while Kagome was sleeping on the matress.
"I don't really want to talk about it." Inuyasha said simply.
"Why did you find out something?" She asked.
"Does me not wanting to talk about it not tell you anything at all?" Inuyasha asked out of irritation.
"What's wrong with you?" Sango asked with annoyance apparent in her voice. Inuyasha turned toward the steering wheel and began to drive.
"Nothing-...it's nothing." Inuyasha sighed.
"It's something, it's gotta be. Your getting so worked up over a small question. What is it?" Sango asked curiously.
"Sango..." He started with a sigh. "I-It's Kikyo." He told her.
"What! You still like her after-..." She started.
"No! What the hell! I mean it's Kikyo who's doing this! Why the hell would I go back to her!" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh...thank the gods. Scared me for a sec. Wait...Kikyo is the one who..."
"Ya...to Kagome...and maybe even me." Inuyasha nodded.
"She has that kind of power?" Sango asked unbelievably.
"Well she was responsible for that gang we fought last time when you helped."
"Oh ya...but...why?" Sango asked hesitantly.
"How the hell should I know?" He asked and sighed once again. "We'll deliver this crap and then get the hell out of there after I make sure she fixes it all." He said as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"Inuyasha...what are you going to do if you see her?" Sango asked curiously.
"Stop all this, what else? She crossed the line when she involved people that have nothing to do with this." Inuyasha muttered. Sango was surprised at his statement and just sat back as he drove. After a long while of driving and Inuyasha had cooled down a bit everyone had become tired of the silence.
"Hey...can we get something to eat?" Kagome asked while rubbing her stomach. "You know...some of us like to eat."
"Ya, i'm hungry too." Sango sighed.
"We'll stop soon." Inuyasha chuckled.
"We can go get chinese." Miroku told them. "I've been wanting some."
"Ok." Sango nodded.
"Sushi?" He asked.
"Ew no. Hate seafood." Kagome shook her head.
"I've been wanting some tuna fish for some reason." Sango said.
"What? Ew tuna fish is nasty too." Kagome said making a grossed out face.
"Well then what are we supposed to eat, your so picky." Inuyasha told her.
"I don't know. Get what ya'll want. Just get me some fried rice or something." Kagome shrugged.
"That's it?" He asked as he drove off the exit and drove into the parking lot of the first chinese restaraunt her saw.
"Ya, and...uhh...a pepsi or something." Kagome told him.
"Ok. Let's go Inuyasha." Miroku said as he got out of the van.
"Get me whatever." Sango told them.
"Ok." Inuyasha said as he got out. Sango waited until they were gone before going to the back.
"Now's our chance!" Sango told her.
"Huh? Chance for what?" Kagome asked as she watched Sango pull out the suitcases. "Oh ya!" She said and scooted next to Sango.
"Here i'll open this one and you open the one over there." Sango said as she pointed to the suitcase under the drivers seat.
"Ok." Kagome said and went over there and pulled out the suitcase.
"On three..." Sango said. "1...2...3!" She said and opened the suitcase and looked down with wide eyes.
"Oh...my..." Kagome gasped as she also looked down wide eyed.
"We...we..." Sango started.
"We've turned into smugglers." Kagome said.
"Wha-...smugglers?" Sango asked and rushed to her side and looked down at the suitcase and gasped. "Oh wow..."
"What did you find?" Kagome asked and went over to the suitcase Sango opened. "Holy shit..." Kagome said as she looked down.
"I know...so we're drug dealers and we're bringing money into a different country." Sango said.
"Do you...think they know that it's cocaine...and loads of cash?" Kagome asked hesitantly.
"I-I don't know." Sango said. They heard a noise outside and shut the suitcases quickly and slid them back under the seats. The side door opened and Miroku got in with food.
"Here's your food." He said and handed Sango her bag and Kagome hers'.
"Ya hope it's to your satisfaction." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Sango shrugged at Kagome and turned and looked over at Inuyasha.
"Very funny." She said trying to act normal. Kagome nodded and went to the front with Inuyasha. She opened her bag and got out her food. She let it sit on her lap for a while before opening it and picking at it with her fork.
"I thought you were hungry?" Inuyasha asked when he noticed her not eating.
"Oh...uhh...I am." She said and brought the food to her mouth.
"You don't act like it." He said.
"Oh, well...I was just thinking. Trust me i'm starving." She smiled yet feeling bad for lying. She had lost her appetite after being surprised at what they found. She looked to the back and saw Sango also playing with her food. Apparently she couldn't stop thinking about it either. Inuyasha looked over at her oddly not believing her but let it go thinking she was just thinking about what was happening.
"Hey...I think...we should talk." Inuyasha said hesitantly as he glanced at her then at the road. Kagome turned and looked over at him.
"About what?" She asked.
"...some stuff that you should probably know before we actually get to Hong Kong." He told her.
"...ok." She said hesitantly. The rest of the ride was quiet until nightfall. Miroku had fallen asleep and Sango was lying down but sat up when she felt the van stop.
"What's going on?" Sango asked quietly.
"I have to talk to Kagome. We'll be back in a little while." Inuyasha told her.
"...uhh...ok." Sango said hesitantly afraid of what he was going to tell her.
"Oh..." Kagome said when she realized she needed to get out of the van. They both got out and walked over to a nearby bench in the big park they had stopped at. "What did you need to tell me?" Kagome asked as she sat beside him.
"It's about where were going..." He said.
"...what about it?" She asked when he said nothing more.
"Remember the girl you mentioned?" Inuyasha asked her as he looked down at the grass.
"Ya? What about her?"
"We know who she is...I know who she is." He rephrased himself.
"...You do?" Kagome asked. "Then why is she doing all this if you know her?"
"Well...I think we're delivering those suitcases to her but I don't know why she's doing this. Maybe to get back at me..." He told her.
"Those suitcases in there?" Kagome asked as she stood up and pointed to the van.
"No Kagome, the suitcases we left at home. What other suitcases do you think?" He asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Well...I don't know. I just didn't know..." She said as she looked down at the ground. "Wait...why would she want to get back at you?"
"I don't think that's it actually."
"Well how do you even know her?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Uhh...she and I...well...we kinda went out together before." He tried to tell her.
"So now she's cursing me? Does she like hate me for some reason?" Kagome asked now very confused.
"She dosn't even know you. Even if she did then she'd know there is no way she can hate you." He said as he got up and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I don't know why she's doing this but we'll fix it. I'll make sure this gets fixed. I promise you Kagome." He whispered the last part to her.
"You shouldn't make so many promises. What if you can't keep them all?" She asked him.
"There's no way i'd break a promise to you." He whispered.
"How can you be so sure?" She asked quietly and turned in his arms to look up at him.
"I just am." He smirked.
"Ya ya ya but let me get this straight first." She giggled. "So your ex-girlfriend is cursing me...but she doesn't know me...so she can't really hate me...unless I did something wrong, unless..." Kagome said and looked at him.
"Unless what?" He asked.
"Unless she still has feelings for you and hates me for being with you." Kagome explained. Inuyasha looked at her oddly and shook his head.
"I seriously really doubt that." He told her.
"Why? It could be the reason." She told him and he pulled away from her.
"No...that's not the reason. Trust me." He told her.
"Well you can't know that for sure."
"Yes I can." He said.
"How?"
"Because us being together was a lie. She lied to me and then tried to kill my friends." Inuyasha said with a shrug as if it was normal.
"S-she did?" Kagome asked a little surprised at the answer she got.
"Yup, some phsyco bitch huh?" He asked.
"Uhh...I don't...know...did you love her?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Honestly?"
"Ya." She nodded. He sighed and looked straight at her.
"Yes. It was a mistake though and I should have seen it coming." He shrugged and sat down on the bench and stretched. "Love is a weak feeling that can easily get you killed." He said truthfully. He figured he was probably ruining any chances with her but he thought she should know how he felt. He was just upset from finding out what Kikyo was doing. Sure he felt that but it didn't mean that he would always feel the same way.
"So you don't...believe in love?" Kagome hesitated.
"I don't know actually. Not when I think of her I don't." He said.
"But it was just a relationship that went bad...everyone's had those. You just...move on from them." She told him and went to sit on the bench a couple of inches away from him.
"Maybe...but not most relationships end with your girlfriend trying to kill your best friends." He told her.
"Ya...but..."
"I'm going to fix this and then we'll go home after we deliver this stuff." He said as he got up and started walking toward the van.
"You mean your cocaine and money?" She asked.
"Excuse me?" He asked and turned to look at her with a questioning gaze.
"That's what your planning on delivering, your cocaine and money. Isn't that illegal?" She asked.
"What are you talking about?" He asked now becoming confused.
"You don't know?" She asked. 'Shit...maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Is this like a way for him to say he doesn't want to see me anymore though?' She wondered.
"...apparently not. What are you talking about?" He asked once again.
"Well...me a-...I was kind of curious and looked inside the suitcases and both those suitcases carry cocaine and money." Kagome said catching herself.
"Don't go into that stuff. And we are a gang so not everything we do is legal you know. Don't worry about it." He said and turned around and headed back to the van. Thinking about Kikyo has made him think that this relationship wouldn't work either so why try anymore. Kagome watched him get into the van and didn't understand what was going on like what had gotten into him. She got up and went to the van but got in the back instead and sat against the side and sighed.
It was quiet for a long time until Sango finally woke up.
"Hey..." Sango said tiredly. "...why arn't you up front?"
"Wanted to be in the back." Kagome shrugged.
"Something wrong?"
"No." Kagome answered.
"Is it just me or is he driving really fast?" Sango asked when she felt a speed bump pass very quickly.
"I don't know." Kagome said as she watched Sango go toward the front.
"God damn can you slow down some?" Sango asked when she realized they really were going fast.
"Oh...kinda zoned out." Inuyasha said when he realized what he was doing. He had been thinking what it would be like having to face Kikyo once again.
"Ya well what if a cop pulls us over? You can't tell them you zoned out." Sango rolled her eyes then froze when she heard sirens. "Oh fuck...please tell me it's for another car." She pleaded.
"Shit. Way to go Sango. You jinxed it." Inuyasha told her as he slowed the van down.
"How the hell did I know we'd actually get pulled over!" Sango asked.
"Shut up and sit down." Inuyasha told her as he stopped the car. He looked up at the roof of the van and groaned. "I can't believe this is happening."
"Hey what's going on?" Miroku asked tiredly.
"We just got pulled over by a cop. Get in the back and be quiet." Sango warned him as she got in the passenger seat and buckled her seat belt. A few seconds later a police officer came over to the drivers side and Inuyasha rolled down the window.
"So I see your from Tokyo by your plates, did you notice you've almost hit about three cars now by your quick turns?" The officer asked.
"Uhh, no sorry. I was kind of in a hurry." Inuyasha said.
"License and registration please." The officer said and held his hand out. Inuyasha sighed and reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet while Sango reached into the glove compartment for the registration. She handed it to Inuyasha and he handed both to the police officer. The officer nodded and walked back to his car with it in his hand.
"Dammit." Inuyasha said once he was gone.
"Why were you speeding!" Miroku asked.
"I wasn't paying attention! Excuse me!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Will you guys just shut up until we are driving again at least! We're getting a ticket whether you like it or not so just shut up!" Sango yelled. Kagome sat in the back quietly watching so not to be in the way. The officer came back a few minutes later.
"Can you step out of the van please." He said.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"Step out of the van sir." He repeated.
"...ok...but couldn't you just give me the ticket without all this?" Inuyasha asked as he got out of the van. The officer turned him around and grabbed his hands together.
"It's not that simple." The officer told him.
"What the hell! What are you doing!" Inuyasha asked.
"Inuyasha Kappei I have a warrant for your arrest..." The officer said as he put hand cuffs on him.
"Wait! Officer is there some kind of mistake?" Sango asked.
"No mistake at all miss. You can follow in your van if you want but he has to come with me to the police department." The cop told her.
"How about an explanation for why i'm being arrested!" Inuyasha said.
"There is a warrant for your arrest for the kidnapping of Kagome Higurashi." The officer said.
"What! I didn't kidnap her!" Inuyasha yelled as he was taken to the police car. "She's in the fucking van right now! Go ask her yourself!" Inuyasha yelled. The police officer opened the back door and led him into the car then shut it before walking to the van and opening the back door.
"Kagome Higurashi?" He asked.
"Uhh...yes?" Kagome asked.
"Come with me please, we'll take you to the police station where you can call your family." He told her.
"Why?" Kagome asked as she got out of the van.
"Someone has reported your kidnapping." He told her as he led her to the passenger side of the police car.
"By who!" Kagome asked.
"You can find out at the police station. Right now just calm down and then you can get some answers." He said and then walked to the drivers side. Inuyasha looked at Kagome from the back and sighed. The cop started to drive and saw as the young lady follow them in the van. Inuyasha looked out the window not being able to believe what was happening. Kagome was frightened as to why someone even reported her kidnapped and that she had to go to the police station. Not to mention Inuyasha was arrested because of her. Inuyasha was beyond pissed now but all that suddenly vanished when he heard a noise from the front and smelled the scent of tears. He didn't realize Kagome was crying.
"Hey miss. it's ok, we'll be there soon." The officer said trying to comfort her. Suddenly Inuyasha felt terrible, he didn't want to see her crying.
"Hey Kagome don't cry." Inuyasha told her.
"Silence back there. I don't think she needs to hear from you right now." The officer said.
"You've got the wrong idea sir. I didn't kidnap her! I'll say whatever the fuck I want to say to her!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I wasn't kidnapped sir. Can't you just let us go?" Kagome asked as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"There has to be proof, I can't just easily let you go. You have to go down to the police station no matter what." The officer told her. She nodded as more tears fell. After a few minutes of silence as she sobbed they arrived to the police station. Another cop came and led Kagome out of the car and inside as the officer that pulled them over led Inuyasha inside somewhere else. Kagome was led to a room with a police officer behind a computer.
"Are you Kagome Higurashi?" The cop asked.
"Yes...but...I wasn't kidnapped. Who reported me as kidnapped?" She asked trying to keep back her tears.
"Uhh...one second." He said as he typed into his computer. "Your sister Kikyo did. She said you had been missing and last time you were seen was with an Inuyasha Kappei and that he was known to pester you." The officer explained.
"M-my sister Kikyo?" Kagome stuttered.
"Yes, did you have anyone you could call?"
"Yes she does. We have someone that needs to be here." Sango said as she walked into the room.
"Who are you?" The officer asked.
"I am her friend, she needs to call her lawyer because obviously there has been a mistake." Sango explained.
"Go right ahead." The officer said and pointed to the phone across the room.
"Thank you." Sango said and led Kagome to the phone.
"My lawyer?" Kagome asked.
"I'm going to call Inuyasha's dad. He's a lawyer and he'll help us." Sango said and picked up the phone and gave her a sympathetic look. "Don't worry, we'll fix this." Sango assured her and dialed a number. She waited a few minutes before someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mrs. Kappei! This is Sango, I was wondering if I could talk to Mr. Kappei." Sango said.
"Oh hello, sure one moment." The woman said and handed the phone to her husband.
"Hello Sango...what has Inuyasha done now?" He asked automatically.
"Uhh...funny you should ask. We need your help. There's a big mistake and Inuyasha's in jail but it really is a mistake. Could you come down?" Sango asked.
"Sure it's a mistake. Tell me where you are and i'll be there as soon as I can." Mr. Kappei said. Sango explained where they were and then hung up.
"What did he say?" Kagome asked.
"He should be here in about an hour." Sango sighed. "He's taking a plane. So an hour or two." Sango told her.
"So we're stuck here?" Kagome asked and Sango nodded. "Do you think they'll let me talk to Inuyasha?"
"Uhh...ya I think so." Sango said and led her back to the desk. "Can she talk to Inuyasha Kappei? She wants to clear some stuff up with him before her lawyer arrives. This is a misunderstanding and she needs to talk to him." Sango told the man.
"...I'll find out." He said and got up before walking out the back door of the room.
"Where's Miroku?" Kagome asked.
"He's in the waiting room." Sango told her. Kagome nodded and they waited till the officer returned.
"You can see him but as long as a guard is there." He said as he led her to the cell he was in.
"I can't talk to him without that?" Kagome asked.
"No unless you want to talk to him across the window." The cop shrugged.
"No it's fine." She sighed and walked over to where Inuyasha was. Inuyasha was sitting on the board along the wall that was supposedly where you could sit and saw Kagome across the bars. "Hey..." She said and looked down at the floor and couldn't stop a couple of tears that fell from having to see him in jail cause of her.
"Hey...don't cry." He said and walked over to her.
"Inuyasha your in jail because of me." She said as more tears began to fall after saying that.
"Ya but your not the one who said I kidnapped you." He told her trying to stop her crying.
"Ya I know but still." She said and looked up at him.
"Please stop crying." He told her quietly.
"Kikyo reported you as my kidnapper." Kagome told him.
"What?" He asked.
"Kikyo rep-..."
"I know what you said. Why the fuck did she do that! God dammit!" Inuyasha muttered. "Hey now stop crying Kagome." He told her when her tears kept falling.
"I'm sorry...Sango called your dad." She told him.
"Fuck...here's another reason for him to think i'm worthless." He mumbled. "Whatever it doesn't matter, not like it's my first time in jail." He said and put on a smile for her but let it drop when she continued to cry.
"I'm going to go home..." Kagome said as she looked at the floor.
"What?" He asked.
"This wouldn't have happend if I wasn't here Inuyasha. If I go home then nothing else will happen because of me." She told him.
"If you go home then how are we supposed to fix what's going on with you." He told her.
"...oh ya." She said with a sigh.
"Hey don't worry. It'll be ok...and...about all the stuff I said before...at the park..." He started.
"No it dosn't matter." She told him.
"No...I was just pissed about hearing Kikyo was the one doing it all. Everything I said...it was just...stuff that shouldn't have been said. I didn't mean it...any of it. I would have meant it if I was talking to Kikyo...but not you Kagome." He assured her as he picked up her hand through the bar and kissed the back of it since it was the only thing he could do at the moment. She looked up at him and saw him smile at her trying to comfort her. She smiled and looked down.
"Sorry i'm late guys." Mr. Kappei said as he walked into the waiting room two and a half hours later.
"It's ok, we're just glad your finally here." Sango said as she stood and followed him to the back as he walked over to the officer at the computer followed by Kagome and Miroku.
"It is my understanding that my client has been arrested for a report of kidnapping is that correct?" Mr. Kappei instantly began to question the police officer.
"Yes sir, a Miss. Kagome Higurashi." The officer nodded. "And you are the lawyer?"
"Yes I am. And this is Miss. Higurashi correct?" He asked as he pointed to Kagome.
"Yes i'm Kagome." She said.
"Did my client actually kidnap you?" He asked.
"No sir...I went with them. I don't know who would have reported that." Kagome told him.
"Who reported her as kidnapped?" Mr. Kappei asked the officer.
"A Miss. Kikyo Noriko. Her sister."
"I don't have a sister." Kagome told the man.
"...uhh...you don't?" The officer asked a little surprised.
"You have my client arrested and you never even checked! I should call about you." Mr. Kappei said.
"That's not nessecary." The cop said nervously.
"Miss. Higurashi what is your social security number so they can look you up and find out information they should have already looked up?" Mr. Kappei asked.
After about two hours of talking with many police officers and looking up everything possible they found out that Kagome didn't even know a Kikyo Noriko. Mr. Kappei walked to the cell Inuyasha was in and looked in to see Inuyasha lying on the bed.
"Comfortable?" He asked and Inuyasha quickly sat up. "Or are you just used to the feeling of those beds?"
"I guess...Am I out?"
"Can't you say hello, thank you for bailing me out of jail once again?" His father asked.
"Hello father, thank you for bailing me out once again." Inuyasha mumbled before Mr. Kappei had the guard open the cell. Inuyasha walked past his father and walked to the waiting room. Kagome ran over to him and hugged him once she saw him. "Whoa, hey I said it was ok." Inuyasha said as he rubbed her back. Mr. Kappei walked into the room a few minutes later.
"Miss. Noriko will be notified. You guys better behave, I don't want to have to come back and bail you out again." Mr. Kappei said.
"Yes sir. Thank you so much for coming down." Sango said.
"Ya, we thought we were going to be stuck here a long time." Miroku nodded. Mr. Kappei started walking out of the room followed by Miroku and Sango.
"So where are you headed?" Mr. Kappei asked as they walked out. He glanced over at his son then looked back at the other two as they walked out of the room. Inuyasha rubbed Kagome's back up and down as she began to cry once again.
"Why are you crying now?" He asked her.
"I...don't know." She said and wiped away her tears. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't cry." He told her. She nodded but only ended up crying more. He chuckled once again and pulled her closer to him.
"Sorry." She apologized with a nod. He brought his hand under her chin and captured her lips with his own. The softness of his lips against hers comforted her somewhat while also sending those dancing butterflies into her stomach once again.
"Come on let's get out of here." He told her and led her to the door.
"Gladly." She smiled and looked over at him. She giggled as she looked over at him and he looked at her oddly with a chuckle.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing." She smiled thinking she could get used to him...maybe even used to his attitude. Or was it...that she already liked him anyways? As in...more then just a cute crush?
"Well I won't be leaving till a while, I have to run a few errands for Mrs. Kappei. Here is the number to my cell phone if you need me." Mr. Kappei said as they walked outside and handed Miroku a small piece of paper.
"Alright. Thanks again." Miroku said as he took the paper.
"Aren't you going to tell your dad thanks?" Kagome asked Inuyasha. He sighed and walked by him.
"Ya thanks." Inuyasha mumbled and got into the passengers seat of the van.
"Don't worry about it. He'll never change." Mr. Kappei shrugged and walked to his car. "I'll see you kids later." He said and got into his cab.
"Let's just deliver this stuff and go home." Miroku said as he went to the drivers side.
"Ya..." Sango nodded and got in the back followed by Kagome.
"I'm glad that's over with." Kagome said quietly as they sat in the back while the boys were up front with the radio on to keep from talking.
"Ya...well it's all almost over." Sango assured her. "I'm actually kind of hungry."
"What? You think of that after what just happend?" Kagome laughed.
"Yes, cause I am." Sango laughed too as she went to the front and turned off the radio. "Let's go get some food." She told the boys and got odd looks from both of them. "Well excuse me but i'm hungry." She rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, let's go get some food. Then we'll drive straight to where we need to be." Inuyasha said as he sat back in his seat with his arms crossed.
"Alright, i'm just going to go to the closest fast food place." Miroku said and Sango nodded as she went back to the back. A few minutes later the van stopped and Kagome and Sango got out of the back of the van.
"Yes! Food!" Sango smiled as she walked inside. Kagome rolled her eyes with a laugh as she followed her inside with the boys. They ordered their food quickly and sat at the table eating quietly. Sango looked around the table as everyone ate.
"Will you stop." Inuyasha told her.
"Stop what?" Sango asked.
"You keep looking looking up at us." He said.
"Well why is everyone so quiet? You act like someone recently died. It was a misunderstanding, no big deal. What's with the silence?" She asked.
"Well everyone's done why don't we go?" Miroku asked.
"Ya whatever." Sango said as they all got up and went back to the van.
"I'll be there in a bit." Inuyasha said and signaled for Miroku to stay behind.
"Whatever." Sango said as she continued to the van with Kagome.
"Gonna make the call?" Miroku asked.
"Ya, let's just get it over with. We're almost their." Inuyasha said as he pulled out his cell phone along with a little piece of paper and dialed that number that was on the small piece of paper. He didn't even wait for the person to say hello before he asked. "Where are we delivering to?" Inuyasha asked.
"Inuyasha, good to hear your voice again." A familiar voice said on the other line.
"I said where are we delivering." He repeated himself, surprised at first that it was her.
"No hello or how have you been? Inuyasha i'm hurt."
"Kikyo...just tell me the place." Inuyasha told her and Miroku looked at him out of surprise when he said the name.
"Well i've been wonderful. I heard you were in jail, that's terrible although your probably used to being there. How's Kagome doing by the way?" Kikyo asked with a laugh in her voice.
"Let me make it clear to you that whatever you did, you better fix. I'm sick of this and i'm sick of you bitch. How cold are you to involve people that arn't even in this?" He muttered.
"Is ice good enough?" Kikyo asked with a laugh. "Well I really must go but i'll look forward to seeing you the house on the corner of Akuryou street."
"Hm, fits you perfect huh?" Inuyasha asked.
"You know it baby. You have to have an evil spirit for this business. Later hun." Kikyo said and hung up. Inuyasha growled and put his phone up.
"Where to?" Miroku asked.
"Akuryou street. Let's just finish this." Inuyasha said and walked back to the van.
The ride was quiet as they drove until Kagome felt a sharp pain in her side and leaned forward.
"Kagome are you ok?" Sango asked when she saw her with a pained look on her face. She shook her head as she held her side.
"Inuyasha! Miroku!" Sango yelled as she rushed to her side. Miroku parked on the side of the road near a wooded area.
"What!" Inuyasha asked as he ran to the back of the van and threw the door open.
"I don't know. Something is wrong with her." Sango told them.
"Kagome?" Miroku asked. She yelled out when the pain grew and suddenly felt closed in by everyone. She got up and ran out of the van.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled. Kagome stopped next to a tree and tried to control her ragged breathing.
"Dammit." Inuyasha said and went after her. He reached toward her and touched her shoulder and she jumped in surprise and pushed him away but sent out some force and he flew back into another tree. "Awww, fuck." Inuyasha said as he sat there and slowly tried to get up from the pain in his back. "What the hell was that!" He asked as he held onto the tree for support.
"Kagome?" Sango asked as she stood a few inches away from her, afraid to touch her. Kagome looked up quickly and a fireball formed in her hand and Sango jumped back. "Kagome!"
Kagome faced the forest and threw it which was followed by a laugh.
"To bad your aiming isn't very good." Kikyo said as she came out of the forest.
"What the hell are you doing here!" Inuyasha asked.
"I couldn't wait another moment to see you Inuyasha. It's so great to see you again." Kikyo smirked.
"Ya well the feeling isn't mutual. Believe me." Inuyasha said as he glarred at the woman. Kikyo smiled and shrugged and walked over to Kagome.
"So this is Kagome Higurashi." She said and lifted her chin to look up at her as Kagome held her sides from the pain.
"Don't touch her!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Get back bitch!" Sango yelled.
"She's cute, what do you think Kaijibou?" Kikyo asked and looked toward the wood.
"Drop dead gorgeous." Kaijinbou smiled as he pulled out his sword while walking over.
"It's you!" Miroku yelled.
"It should be a crime to be that gorgeous." Kaijinbou sighed.
"Well...you can make it one." Kikyo shrugged. Kaijinbou smiled and nodded.
"I'll be the judge, the jury and the officer and I say this woman shall be executed." He said as he brought the sword to her neck. Kagome dropped to her knees and knealed forward.
"Back. The. Fuck. Off. Now!" Inuyasha growled as he slowly walked over.
"Why Inuyasha, are you mad at me?" Kikyo asked.
"Bitch you better do as he said or you'll be sorry. I'm not afraid of going to jail for murder." Sango smirked as she pulled out her sword.
"Neither am I." Miroku smirked and pulled out his gun.
"Like you said, i'm used to it." Inuyasha growled out.
"You know, you shouldn't get so mad Inuyasha. You might transform, then you might even kill your own friends." Kikyo smirked.
"Fuck you." Inuyasha said before he started running over but Kaijinbou ran to him and Inuyasha pulled out his sword and stopped his sword.
"Well, guess it's two to one now." Sango smiled as she stood next to Miroku.
"Make that three." Kagome said weakly and sttod before punching kicking Kikyo away from her.
"Bitch!" Kikyo yelled and pushed Kagome back. Kagome glarred at the woman and another fireball appeared in her hands. Kagome looked wide eyed at her hand. Before when she had thrown the fireball her anger had taken over her. She looked down at her hand as Kikyo advanced on her. She looked up and saw Kikyo and threw the ball but Kikyo ducked in time and Sango ran over and kicked her from the side making her fall to the ground.
"Watch yourself Kikyo, you forget who your messing with." Miroku said with a smirk and held his gun down on her back.
"How we tend to forget." Kikyo said quietly. Inuyasha pushed Kaijinbou and Miroku had to move before getting attacked by the sword in his hand. Inuyasha fell to his knees and growled as he clenched his fists into the ground.
"You...bitch." He said and growled out as his fangs grew longer once again and his demonic features returned.
"It's about time you transformed. I thought I would have to kill the girl to get you mad enough." Kikyo said as she stood up. "Well Kagome, I hope you had a fun time on your trip cause it ends here." Kikyo grinned and pulled out a sword.
"Not in this lifetime wench." Inuyasha growled and pulled Kikyo back by the hair.
"Inuyasha!" Kikyo yelled as she tried to get away from him. He pulled her so she was looking straight at him.
"Hands off her." Inuyasha growled to her. Kikyo laughed and looked at him.
"I don't have to touch her, the curse is taking up her energy. It was slowly taking it before but it's finally taken enough for her to become weak." Kikyo explained.
"Bitch! You'll fucking pay!" Sango yelled as she started walking closer but Inuyasha growled at her.
"Say your prayers bitch." Inuyasha said and threw her to the side and was about to run after her when Kaijinbou slammed the door shut of the van after getting the suitcases. Kagome figured the more she used these 'powers' the faster she'll waste her energy but she wanted to help, she had to help.
'That guy is the one who came after me. That fucking bastard.' She thought, trying to get angry since she didn't know any other way to use these powers. She glarred toward the demon as a fireball formed in her hand and she concentrated hard before throwing it. She watched it fly through the air and the demon never even saw it coming. The force of the ball pushed Kaijinbou back and got the wind knocked out of him but paniced when he saw the bottom of his pants had caught on fire. He jumped up and down trying to put it out and tripped over one of the suitcases and it was thrown open and all the contents flew out. Kagome watched wide eyed as the bag of cocaine fell out of the suitcase. She turned and looked over at Inuyasha when he heard them coming closer to her.
"Maybe I should kill you now!" Inuyasha growled out as he flewed his claws and starred at her with his dark blue eyes.
"Try it and see what happens to your Kagome." Kikyo smirked as she backed away from him. He growled and ran to her. Kikyo ran over to Kagome and grabbed her arm and pulled out a knife to her neck. "I'm warning you."
"You seem to be confused. I'm the one warning you. Kill her and see what happens." Inuyasha said as he looked down at his claws as if admiring them. "It wont take much to kill a pathetic miko like you bitch."
"Killing is the only thing across your mind at the moment isn't it? Your just dying to have the feeling of blood all over your claws arn't you?" Kikyo asked. Inuyasha flinched as he thought about what she was saying and got the craving for blood. "You would even kill this girl wouldn't you? And your friends. You just want to feel and taste the blood."
"For a pathetic bitch your right. And you'll be the first to have your blood spilt." Inuyasha growled and ran toward her.
"Nuh uh uh. She dies if you come near me." Kikyo told him and brought the knife closer to Kagome. Kagome shut her eyes tightly as she felt the blade against her.
"I-Inuyasha!" Kagome strained her voice. Inuyasha froze and looked at Kagome then back at Kikyo. He growled and looked down at his claws.
"It's blood you love, not this girl." Kikyo smirked. Inuyasha looked up at her with surprise after hearing what she said as if everything made sense now. "You want her blood."
"Not quite. It's your blood I want spilt." Inuyasha growled and ran toward her. Kikyo pulled the knife back to stab Kagome but Sango came up behind her and grabbed her arm.
"Your asking for it." Sango said through gritted teeth and threw Kikyo the the ground. Kagome sighed in relief but then saw Inuyasha running toward Kikyo and looked as if ready to kill her. She looked over at Kikyo with wide eyes and pushed Sango back before she could stop her and jumped in front of Kikyo.
"Kagome! What are you doing!" Sango asked. Miroku ran over and stopped Sango just as she was going to run over.
"She's doing what she believes is right." He assured her.
"Inuyasha stop!" Kagome yelled as he ran toward her. He got ready to pounce her but Kagome held out her hand to stop him and without her knowing she sent a wave of energy at him that pushed him back. He growled out of anger and ran at her again.
"Stupid girl. He's not going to listen to you. He dosn't know who you are. He'll kill you too." Kikyo told her.
"He can't...or he'd kill you too..." Kagome said a little fearful. Kikyo took this opportunity and pulled out a knife and just as Inuyasha was running over she stabbed Kagome in the side. She yelled out in pain and the fireball she was preparing to throw at Inuyasha to keep him back slipped and went in anothet direction. Kikyo got up and ran but Sango attacked her and pushed her to the ground. Inuyasha ran at Kagome and was about to attack but the scent of her blood stopped him.
"Inuyasha! Don't hurt her!" Miroku yelled and went to run toward them when Kaijinbou punched him from behind then pulled out his sword.
"I-Inuyasha..." Kagome stuttered and carefully reached her hand out to him. He growled at her and she flinched in fear but continued to reach out to him and stroked the back of her hand against his cheek. He barred his fangs at her unsure of what to do. He seemed to recogbize her scent and felt a connection with her but another part of him thought she was just another worthless human that needed to be brought down.
"Bitch back off!" Sango yelled and pushed Kikyo away and pulled out her gun. She shot at Kikyo but missed. Inuyasha heard the shot and growled out then raised his claw to attack Kagome. Kagome's eyes widened in surprise and she held her hands out and shut her eyes tightly and the same energy as before shot out and pushed Inuyasha back. He brought his claws down on her and scratched her across her arm.
"Inuyasha! Please stop!" Kagome said as she tried to push him away. She tried to hold him back with her hand to his chest but suddenly started to become weak. She looked down and could feel her energy draining but she had to do something. "So your going to let it take over you just like that Inuyasha? I thought you were stronger then that? At least that's what you made me believe. You told me to stay away from you but I won't Inuyasha...because I believe you can control yourself. Your not that weak. You can do it...cause I believe in you...y-you can do it." She said as her breathing became ragged. Inuyasha growled at her and felt her arm fall away from him as she fell to the ground.
"KAGOME!" Sango yelled and tried to run to her but Kikyo stopped her with a punch. Inuyasha growled and backed away from her. The part of him that felt a connection with the girl grew stronger and began to take over.
' "You can do it...cause I believe in you..." ' The phrase played out over and over again in his mind as he looked down at the girl.
"You stupid bitch! What the hell did you do to Kagome!" Sango asked as she threw a punch at Kikyo and dove for her gun that she had dropped. Kikyo stopped her and kicked the gun away.
"Oh it's a simple curse that will kill her if it's not taken care of. I wonder what will kill her first...the curse...or Inuyasha." Kikyo smirked.
"What the hell is your problem! Kagome isn't even involved in any of this! So you hate us...who cares? Why be a bitch about it and involve people who you don't even know!" Sango asked and kicked Kikyo in the stomach when she got the chance.
"It's the only way to bring Inuyasha down. He has started to have feelings for the girl and if he knows he killed her with his own hands well...you know how hurt he'd feel? Then i'd have a real battle on my hands." Kikyo smirked with a laugh to her voice.
"You bitch!" Sango yelled and grabbed her gun and shot at her but only managed to get her arm. Kikyo yelled out in pain but continued to fight.
Miroku finally brought down Kaijinbou and held him down with his hands around his neck.
"Now tell me! How do I take away the curse!" Miroku demanded.
"If I tell you i'd have to kill you, havn't you heard that saying before?" Kaijinbou asked with a smirk even though he was struggling to speak.
"Tell me right now!" Miroku yelled. All of a sudden Kaijinbou looked up in panic and nodded.
"Destroy the blue and pink crystals Kikyo has. The blue one is for the curse of the hanyou and the pink for the girl." Kaijinbou explained. Miroku nodded and before he could do anything the demon at his hands was shot straight in the forehead. Miroku jumped back and bumped into someone. He looked up and saw Mr. Kappei. So that explained why Kaijinbou came out and told him.
"This is my errands." Mr. Kappei shrugged. "You kids will never learn to stop this foolishness. So I was sent to guide you kids." Mr. Kappei explained. Miroku smirked and nodded.
"Inuyasha and Kagome have both been cursed but it seems Kagome has passed out from loss of energy but Inuyasha is in his demon form and we're afraid he might kill her." Miroku explained. Mr. Kappei nodded and pulled out his own sword and walked over to Inuyasha.
"Mr. Kappei this doesn't involve you!" Kikyo yelled when she saw him.
"And it didn't involve this girl either. You involve her, you involve me." He said simply. He reached down and grabbed Inuyasha by the arm. "Pull yourself together! You shouldn't let some curse take over your body! Your the one who has control over yourself!" He yelled at his son as Inuyasha looked up at him and growled. "Will you really endanger everyone around you just cause you can't control yourself!" He asked.
' "You can do it...cause I believe in you..." ' The phrase ran through his head once again. 'I've already been the cause of so much pain to her...I won't allow it anymore. Besides...she believes I can do it...so why shouldn't I?' Inuyasha thought as he knealed down. 'I have to beat this curse.' He thought and looked up at Kikyo then at Kagome. He shut his eyes tight and put his hands on his head as he felt the pain in his head once again. Sweat started to fall from his face as he tried to defeat what was taking over him. He opened his eyes and looked over at Kagome. ' "Your not that weak. You can do it...cause I believe in you..." ' The phrase repeated as he stood up and felt his demonic features slowly dissapear and he knealed down on the ground once again taking ragged breaths.
"Stay away bitch!" Kikyo yelled and pushed Sango back into a tree which knocked her out.
"Sango!" Miroku yelled and ran over to her. Inuyasha stood carefully and took one more deep breath and he felt the control over him quickly fade away and heard the sound of breaking glass. Kikyo reached into her pocket to pull out pieces of what used to be a blue crystal.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and dropped to his knees beside her. He was worried when he heard her ragged breathing and then saw the clawed marks on her arm. He was pissed and upset at himself for letting that happen and he felt guilty and worried.
"Don't worry son, I'm going to take the girls home. You boys finish what you need to do but let me ask of one thing. Try to keep it clean. Try not to do anything illegal." Mr. Kappei said. Inuyasha didn't look up at him and kept his eyes on Kagome yet he nodded his response. He watched as his father leaned down and picked up Kagome. He stood up then turned to face Kikyo with a glare as Miroku picked up Sango.
"Take your crap and get the hell out of here!" Inuyasha yelled and walked over to grab the suitcase that was still intact and walked over to Kikyo.
"What about my other suitcase?" Kikyo asked.
"That wasn't our fault. Kaijinbou is the one who messed it up. It was fine before he started handling it." Inuyasha told her simply. She glarred at him and took the suitcase.
"This isn't the last time you'll see me Inuyasha." Kikyo told him.
"We'll just have to see about that. Me and Miroku will make sure the suitcase gets delivered and that the explanation for the other suitcase is correct." Inuyasha said and leaned closer to her and held his hand out to her. "Now give me the crystal."
"What makes you think i'd do such a thing?" Kikyo asked with a smirk.
Mr. Kappei took the girl to his rental car and drove off. Miroku ran over and picked up his gun.
"We have the upper hand now Kikyo. I'd hand it to him if you value your life." Miroku said as he held the gun pointing at Kikyo.
"You'll have to face my gang first." She smirked as they heard motors of cars and motorcycles coming down the road.
"I guess so." Inuyasha smirked.
"I'm up for it." Miroku smirked.
"Same. I need to get some anger out anyways." Inuyasha said as the men came over. Inuyasha picked up his sword and got ready for the attacks. Miroku went to the van and grabbed a few guns from their suitcase and some rope. He ran over to help Inuyasha to take on the gang while Kikyo started walking away.
"I don't think so!" Miroku said as he shot her in the arm to stop her. She fell to her knees and held her arm.
"Havn't you ever heard your not supposed to hit a girl?" Kikyo asked as Miroku came over and tied her to the closest tree.
"Yes I have but that's the chance you have to take when in a gang." He shrugged and took the suitcase from her. "Who is the leader here!" Miroku yelled out.
"I am." Said a man as he walked over from one of the cars. "Do you have what I asked for?"
"Yes we do. But you see there is something we ask of you first." Inuyasha said.
"And what is that?"
"I want to know that you won't come after us or ask us of anything else ever again." Inuyasha told him.
"Fair enough. I Naraku will not bother you anymore. My merchandise?" He asked.
"Right here. But you see, Kaijinbou, one of your men tried handling one of them and got it everywhere." Miroku told him.
"I see...well Kikyo will be sure to take care of it." Naraku grinned.
"And one more thing." Inuyasha said as he walked over to Naraku.
"What?" Naraku asked a little annoyed now.
"I want the crystal that you used to curse Kagome right now." He growled.
"Kikyo." Naraku said simply and looked over at her. She glarred at him and Naraku walked over to her and untied her. She reached into her pocket and tossed it to Inuyasha. He threw it on the ground and stepped hard on it.
"Thanks." Inuyasha said simply.
"Inuyasha...I swear to you that you'll see me again." Kikyo smirked. Inuyasha shrugged and kept walking to the van.
"Do you think she meant it?" Miroku asked.
"Ya...she did. And she'll probably come to us instead though. Then we'll take care of her. I promised I wouldn't kill today...but nothing will stop me next time." Inuyasha assured him.
"Well...let's go to the airport." Miroku said.
"The airport!" Inuyasha asked.
"Ya, your dad sent the girls home on a helicoptor to the hospital in Tokyo." Miroku told him.
