While the museum's curator spoke about the Shikon Jewel and the history behind everyone listened in aw the vast and colorful stories, but two people were not paying attention but instead glanced around the room anxiously.
Inuyasha was still contemplating how this was going to work. He had to steal the jewel, before Naraku, make sure Koga was safe, and then make his escape without getting caught. 'This won't be easy' he thought.
Meanwhile Koga was starting to feel unsure if bringing Inuyasha with him was such a good idea. 'I need to concentrate Phantom Blade could show up any moment' that same worry for his boyfriend began to set in again. 'I shouldn't feel worried, Miroku will keep him safe, I trust him'
The curator was finished speaking and presented every one the Sacred Shikon Jewel. Lifting the curtain away revealed a small cylindrical shaped thick casing that held a small marble sized pink and purple jewel. Everyone stared entranced that such a small thing held so much value and had such a long famous history to it.
After a few minutes the guests continued to mingle with each other as well approach the jewels case to get a better look at it.
Inuyasha approached it while Koga spoke with his friend. After a few minutes of staring at the jewel something suddenly dawned on him. 'This isn't the real jewel'. Inuyasha was able to spot a few differences in this fake that were not in the detailed picture Sesshomaru sent him, Inuyasha wouldn't be the master thief he was without being able to identify a fake.
'But where is the real one located', he wondered. Deciding that the best possible place it could be was the vault in the museums basement level, a plan began to form in his head. Now though he needed to get Koga somewhere safe in case something happened here while he was in the vault below.
"Hey Koga want to get out of here" He asked his boyfriend.
"Actually I kind of want to hang out here a little longer" Well that put a wrench in Inu's plans again.
"Well um actually I'm uh feeling frisky" He leaned in whispering. "Lets go do it in the bathroom right now" Inuyasha said thinking on the go.
"R-Really" Koga asked hopefully face turning red.
"Yes lets go have sex in the bathroom" Inu said also blushing at what he said. "Meet in the men's restroom in five minutes"
"Alright" Koga said excited and easily forgetting his plan and reason for being here.
Koga left to head to the bathroom and get ready. Meanwhile Inuyasha planned on finding a closet to change into his costume when all of the sudden a loud crash was heard behind him. He looked back to see a large mass of fleshy tentacles emerge from the crowd of screaming guests.
Inuyasha watched as the squirming tendrils moved to where the fake jewels case was and out of the top a figure emerged. It was the same black haired red eyed man that Inuyasha had a brief encounter with before the presentation.
'Shit, he walked right up to me and I didn't notice a thing', Inuyasha frustrated by his lack of intuition continued to watch as Naraku used his tentacles to pry open the top of the case, smacking the security guards away that tried to stop him, while the other guests began to flee to the exits.
'Idiot doesn't realize that jewels a fake, too bad for him', Inuyasha smirked at Naraku's foolishness and turned around to leave. He hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and he turned around to see Koga's friend Miroku grabbing him. "You need to come with me please" he said.
"Why"
"Uh you see Koga already got out, but the police won't let him back inside so I slipped in to get you to safety" he explained.
"Alright then lets go" This made things more complicated for Inu.
They ran to an exit when Miroku suddenly stopped looking back. "Alright you go through there and look for Koga outside I'm going to go back and see If any more people need help".
Miroku headed back inside, but Inuyasha just waited for him to turn the corner and discretely reached into his pocket to pull out a small button operated device that his brother gave him to disable all security cameras around him. Turning the device on Inuyasha ran down another hallway and found a janitor closet and quietly went inside checking first to see if anybody was around.
A few minutes later he emerged no longer as Inuyasha the small time book store owner and boyfriend of Koga, but now as the infamous Phantom Blade wearing his typical white hooded jacket, black leather pants, white dog mask, and of course no shoes. He walked down the hallway carrying his sword out just in case and headed down to the basement where the vault with the jewel inside he knew was there.
Koga was heading to the bathroom to have a little 'personal time' with his Inuyasha when he heard a crash from where he just came from that snapped him back to reality. 'Dammit I got distracted to easily'
Koga ran to the bathroom and locked the door checking to see if anybody was inside he began to change into the Lightning Wolf. He left the bathroom running back to the jewel exhibit. When he arrived he saw instead of Phantom Blade like he expected it was another super criminal he knew as Naraku. He glanced around at the few unconscious guests and security guards not seeing Inuyasha anywhere. 'Good, Miroku got him out of here', He focused on his Naraku whom was busy trying to pry open the jewels case with his many tentacles 'I'm disappointed I thought Phantom Blade would show himself'.
Just as Naraku finished prying the case open Koga fired his lightning claws at him burning most of the tentacles away and knocking Naraku back a few yards. Naraku looked pissed for a moment, but smirked his typical evil smile when he glanced up and saw The Lightning Wolf was the one to strike him.
"Fool, do you think it's wise, a low tier hero like you challenging me" Naraku began generating more tentacles from his back in preparation.
Koga ignored the jab at him and fired another lightning blast at him that Naraku easily blocked with more tentacles. One of the tendrils snuck up behind Koga and knocked him into a way into a wall. A few more pinned him there. Naraku chuckled from a distance as he sent a barrage of tentacles at him that would tear him to pieces.
Before they got to him they wore pulled into a vortex of wind and severed from Naraku's body. Lightning Wolf, now freed, looked over to see his friend Miroku dressed in dark blue and purple robes kind of like some sort of monk wearing a dark purple mask that covered the top half of his face.
"Looks like I made it in time" He said walking over to stand next to Lightning Wolf.
"Is he safe?" Koga asked his friend quietly.
"Yes I led him to the exit myself" Miroku whispered back reassuring his friend.
Naraku realizing he was now at a disadvantage ran over and grabbed the jewel from the case and quickly transformed into a huge wasp like creature, he then broke through the ceiling and flew off into the city.
"Shit He's getting away with the jewel!" Koga shouted.
"Oh no he isn't actually" a voice from behind said. They both looked and saw the curator who presented the jewel Kikyo her name was.
"We anticipated something like this happening so we had a fake Shikon Jewel made and put on display" she explained. "The real jewel is safely locked away in the museums' safe in the basement".
"Even so I'm going after Naraku I have my own personal score to settle with him" Miroku used his wind tunnel ability to launch himself through the hole in the ceiling and after Naraku.
"Can you show me to the vault I want to check and make sure of something" Koga said growing suspicious of this whole thing.
"Right this way" She led him down to where the real jewel was being kept. When they arrived they saw that the doors to the vault room were broken into. Koga hurried inside and saw his arch enemy Phantom Blade removing what looked like the real jewel from one of the safes.
"Hold it right their scum bag" Lightning Wolf shouted at him.
Phantom Blade turned around looking somewhat annoyed by the turn of events.
"You know you always say that every time you try to stop me and just like every time I'll get away just the same" he drew his sword out ready to fight.
Well thats the next chapter for you.I will go into what happened with Miroku in the next chapter.
Writers Fact 3: I was going to have Sesshomaru be apart of Inuyasha's plan in this chapter, but decided to keep him from showing up until later down the road.
