Chapter9: Bitter Sweet Revenge
After Kagome's birthday she had loved her car so much that she drove it anywhere when she needed to go somewhere. Sesshomaru was wary of this because of her status with him so he made her take Miroku with her where ever she went. She didn't really mind seeing as she wanted to catch up with him. She had found out that he had a crush on someone he used to work with at the police station but was too afraid to ask her out. Kagome tried to help but he kindly declined her offer and told her that he would do it when the time was right. Kagome had also asked how long Keade had lived after she left and found out that she had died a year later protecting the village from a rampaging dragon demon. He had told her she had died in honor and was buried as such. He had also said no one had taken up the position of miko that he knew of because he had left not long after.
As Kagome and Miroku drove to the store to get some things so Kagome could cook dinner she had one question that had plagued her. "Miroku?" She asked. "Yes?" He asked. "What ever happened to Shippo? Did he ever mate?" She asked. "I am not sure what happened to Shippo after you left. He was so upset he had run off on his own. I had thought that he would have come back after some time to cope with you leaving, but he had never returned. I am sorry." He said. "Oh I see." She said sadly. After that the ride was quiet until they reached the store's parking lot.
So they got out and walked in and grabbed a cart, "So what are we eating for dinner?" He asked. "I am making an American dish. I believe it's called fried chicken. I am making mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans. I hope Sesshomaru likes it." She said. "I am sure he will love it Kagome." Miroku had said. Miroku was now allowed to call Kagome by her name and not with the honorifics since he was such a close friend.
They walked around the store gathering the items that she would need for later. "Miroku do you think I should make a dessert too?" She asked. "Might as well, it would complete the dish you are making." Miroku said. Kagome put her index finger to her chin trying to think what American dessert she could make. Then she knew what she would make, she would make an apple pie since she knew that was the American dessert.
In Tokyo Prison unknown to anyone Inuyasha was plotting his escape. This was going to be the only night he would be able to escape and if he missed his chance he would have to wait another month. He had learned from his last failed attempt to escape that the entire prison was in a barrier and any demon who tried to break out got a high voltage shock that immobilized you. He remembered that night well, he was hell bent for election to escape and get his revenge on Sesshomaru and Kagome, but mainly Kagome for locking him up when she knew she was his. As soon as he had dug his hole and jumped in was when he got his shock. The next thing he remembers is waking up in solitary confinement and was there for a week. Then he was warned that if he tried to do that again that he would get solitary confinement for 3 months.
'Stupid fools, they don't know what tonight is and tonight is when I will be free to get my revenge on that bitch.' He thought as he sharpened his claws. He had already made his hole in his wall and covered it with a poster he had acquired. 'Be ready Kagome because you will be mine tonight fully, and I shall pup you.' He thought with a wicked smile.
Kagome walked through the door to the mansion and the servants rushed over to help Kagome and Miroku with the bags. "Thank you." She said following them to the kitchen. "You're welcome my lady. Do you need any help with dinner?" Suki asked. "No, I want to do this all myself. I want to show Sesshomaru I can cook. Go relax and take the night off, tell the staff the same thing. But make sure you all stay here just in case we need you." Kagome smiled. "Yes my lady, thank you." Suki smiled and left. "You are very kind Kagome." Miroku said. "I know but they work so hard and they deserve a night off. Anyway what time does Sesshomaru get home tonight?" She asked him. Miroku looked at his watch. "Uh, in about an hour and half." He said. "Perfect, now you on the other hand Miroku can help me." She smiled. "Me? I don't know how to cook." He said. "Read the recipe silly, I need you to make the dessert while I get everything else ready." She said. Miroku sighed and nodded and walked over to the counter and read the recipe card and directions and began to put everything together.
Kagome on the other hand was making a huge mess and had flour all over her from trying to sift it, then she added the spices, heated the oil and preheated the oven. Once all that was done she dipped her drum sticks in the egg wash, then in the flour and into the hot oil. While those were cooking she had already brought the potatoes to a boil and had been cooking them for roughly 20 minutes. She checked them with a fork and they were ready. So she drained them and then added them back to the pot and added some milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Once all those ingredients were in she used a hand masher and mashed the potatoes until they were thick and creamy. She then set that aside and went back to her chicken, she quickly removed them and added more. "Alright Kagome I am done with the pie, it says it needs to bake for an hour and 15 minutes." Miroku said. "Alright my chicken is almost done I'll put the pie in after." She said. "Can I go relax now?" He asked. She smiled, "Of course. I'll call you when we're ready to eat." She said. He nodded and walked off.
Kagome quickly finished off the chicken and then placed the pie in the oven and set the timer. Kagome decorated the plates really nice and began to place then out at the dining table.
Sesshomaru sighed as he stepped out of his car, it had been a long and boring day. All he wanted was to cuddle up to Kagome and relax, he also could use a good meal. When he walked into the house his nose was bombarded by all these wonderful new smells. Being curious he walked into the kitchen to see Kagome in an apron garnishing the last plate. He looked her up and down and thought she looked even sexier as a house wife. He quickly left seeing as he didn't want to scare her. He had put his brief case down and took his tie off and slipped off his work shoes and placed his slippers on. He then went into the dining room and sat at his place and waited for Kagome and Miroku to join him.
Kagome came out with the last plate and was surprised to see Sesshomaru. "Oh, you're home. Wonderful now dinner won't be cold. Miroku dinner!" She yelled. "Why aren't the servants serving us?" He asked. "I gave them the night off. Tonight was my night to cook." She smiled. He lifted an eye brow, Miroku then walked in and sat down, "Good evening Sesshomaru, how was your day at work?" Miroku asked. "Filled with idiots and annoyances as usual." He said. "I see." Miroku smirked.
Kagome then sat down next to Sesshomaru, "I made something my friends have told me about. It's an American dish called fried chicken and mashed potatoes with green beans. Dessert is apple pie." She smiled. "I have heard of fried chicken, it's a commoner's food, but I have heard good things about it." Sesshomaru said as he looked at the chicken leg on his plate. He then picked it up with his fingers and took a bite. Kagome held her breath waiting for his verdict. Once Sesshomaru had chewed and swallowed the piece of meat she looked at him. "Well, how did I do?" She asked. His eyes were wide and Kagome feared that he would tell her to never cook again. "This is excellent, this is better than any other chicken I've eaten." He said as he ate more. Kagome let out her breath and smiled.
The rest of dinner was eaten with light conversation between the three. After dinner Kagome took the dishes to the kitchen to check on the pie. Seeing as it looked done she took it out of the oven and turned off the timer. She then grabbed the vanilla ice cream in the freezer and then a knife to cut the pie. She lightly sliced three moderate slices and put them on plates with a little ice cream and then brought them out to everyone.
Sesshomaru looked at it and sniffed it, "It smells good, did you make this Kagome?" He asked. "No Miroku did that for me while I cooked dinner." She said as she sat down. He then took a bite and instantly loved that and had deemed that meal be served at least once a week.
After dinner seeing as Sesshomaru was tired he and Kagome decided to turn in for the night. "Sesshomaru I want you to sit in front of me on the bed." Kagome suddenly said. "What?" He asked. "Just sit down." She said motioning in between her legs. Not wanting to argue with her he crawled and sat between her legs. Kagome turned on the tv and then leaned over and put some massaging oil on her hands and began to massage Sesshomaru's stiff shoulders. Sesshomaru melted into her touch and it made him relax. "You are too tense." Kagome said. "Working does that to you." He smirked. "Well then I hope this helps a little." She said rubbing down his back. "Oh it's helping." He said. After about 25 minutes he stopped Kagome and pulled her to him and placed her where he had been sitting. He then slid her night gown straps down her shoulders and put some oil in his hands and gave her a massage. Kagome was like putty in his hands and when he gave her that massage it took all her might not to fall asleep sitting up. Noticing how his massage was making her react he smiled, "Lay down." He said. "Hu?" She asked. "Lay on your stomach." He said. So she did and Sesshomaru straddled her hips and kept his massage going. Kagome smiled, "Thank you, it feels so good." She said. "You're welcome." He said. Kagome soon fell asleep and Sesshomaru stopped and snuggled down under the covers and fell asleep too, leaving the tv on.
When Sesshomaru had went to sleep he hand just missed the breaking news broadcast about Inuyasha escaping from prison. Inuyasha ran through the woods as fast as his feet could carry him. On this night he had a big disadvantage seeing it was the new moon and was now human until morning. He knew he had to wait til morning if he was going to have a chance at getting his revenge. He knew Sesshomaru would rip him to pieces if he tried anything in this form. So he found a place to hid out until morning.
In Tokyo Prison the guards were scrambling to find Inuyasha. The warden was pitching a fit, "No one and I mean no one has ever escaped from here! How the hell did he get out?" The warden yelled at one of the guards. "It seems he dug a hole sir, it was covered by a poster in his cell." The guard said. "That shouldn't have mattered; the barrier would have knocked his ass out, why didn't it?" He asked.
"Maybe I can be of some assistance." A small voice said. "Who said that?" The warden asked. "On your shoulder." The voice said. The warden looked on his shoulder and saw an old flea. "Oi old timer what are you doing in here?" The warden asked. "I am Inuyasha's retainer, well I was until we modernized and all of that stuff became nonexistent. I can tell you anything you want to know about Inuyasha." The flea said. "What's your name old timer?" The warden asked. "My name is Myoga." He said. "Myoga do you know how Inuyasha escaped?" The warden asked. "I do, this prison is protected from the inside by a barrier to prevent demons from escaping right?" He asked. "Why, yes." He said. "Inuyasha is a half demon and in every half demon's life there is one day a month that he turns human. His day is every new moon, and tonight is the new moon of this month and was the perfect night to escape." Myoga said. "Shit, you're right. No one ever paid him any mind since he was a half demon so no one knew he turned human every new moon. Damnit, we should have seen it. Alright get all the guards on this and get the police. We need to find him, he is dangerous." The warden said. The guard bowed and left.
"Inuyasha, dangerous? He shouldn't be how is he dangerous?" Myoga asked. "Well the reason he is in here is he killed 6 people in here including 2 guards. He had originally tried to rape and kill Lord Sesshomaru's intended." The warden said. Myoga thought this to be weird, "Who is Lord Sesshomaru's intended?" Myoga asked. "Lady Kagome, the Shikon miko." He said. "KAGOME? Oh this is not good." Myoga said. "Why what's wrong?" The warden asked worriedly. "Inuyasha always loved Kagome, even back in the feudal era. The only problem was back then his first love Kikyou was brought back half way and he couldn't chose between them so he went to Kikyou. Kagome was in love with Inuyasha but seeing him run off to a dead lover got to her. After a while Kagome lost her love for him and that was about the same time she was sent back here. Inuyasha believes that Kagome is his because she was Kikyou's reincarnation. So he will be going after Kagome most likely for revenge seeing as she put him in here I assume." Myoga said. "That's right, she and Sesshomaru pressed charges. He's in here for life with no chances or parole. He will likely be put to death now that he's escaped and may kill, but I can guarantee you if he does kill again he will get the needle no if and's and buts." The warden said to Myoga. Myoga had a look of sadness for his master, 'Master Inuyasha what has gotten into you?' he thought.
Morning came quickly and Sesshomaru opened his eyes. He looked over at Kagome and saw she was still asleep. He gently got out of bed and dressed and went downstairs. He went into the living room and turned on the tv to watch the news and read his paper. Sesshomaru opened up his Saturday paper and began to read through some articles when something on the news caught his ears.
"Breaking news, the first ever demon managed to break out of Tokyo Prison. Inuyasha Tashio was initially placed in Kyushu Prison but was moved to Tokyo Prison since it has the highest security possible. Inuyasha's charges include 6 murders in the 1st degree, attempted rape, and one attempted murder. If you see this demon you are to call the authorities at once. Do not engage in contact as he is extremely dangerous." The news reporter said.
Sesshomaru nearly spit his coffee out, "Suki!" Sesshomaru called out. Suki rushed in, "Yes my lord is everything ok?" She asked. "No, get me Miroku now." He said. "But my lord he is still sleeping." She said. "Then wake him!" He growled. Suki bowed and raced up to his room. She knocked lightly and waited for a gruff 'enter' before she walked in. "Master Miroku, Lord Sesshomaru wishes to see you now. It's urgent." She said. "Alright, thanks Suki." He said sleepily. Suki bowed and left.
Miroku got up and dressed quickly and then went downstairs to the living room to see a rather worried and angered look on Sesshomaru's face. "Are you alright?" He asked. "No, look at the news." He said motioning toward the tv. Miroku looked up and saw the news report and his eyes went wide. "This isn't good." He said. "No, it isn't. First things first, Kagome is not going anywhere until that bastard is caught and put back in jail and this time I am not going to let him live. Get the security team here now, have every inch of this place staked out with security. If my hunch is correct he will be coming after Kagome seeing as the bastard still thinks she belongs to him." He growled. "Right, I will call them now and assemble them." Miroku said getting to his feet and getting to his cell phone.
'Inuyasha you fool, I will not let you get near Kagome. You shall never hurt her again.' He thought as he kept looking at the tv. He then decided that it would be a good idea to go and wake her up and let her know the situation.
Once up to the bed room he walked in and went to her and lightly shook her. "Kagome, you need to wake up. Something important has happened." He said. With hearing that Kagome sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Inuyasha has escaped from prison and I am sure he's headed here as we speak. I have had Miroku get the security team here ASAP. You are not to leave, I will not have him hurt you again." He said. "Let him try." She snorted. Sesshomaru was surprised at her answer and how calm she was.
"What do you mean let him try?" He asked. "Sesshomaru I've been taking self-defense classes along with a few fighting classes while you were at work. Miroku has even helped me figure out my powers and taught me how to control my spiritual energy. I could whoop any demon's ass, including yours mister." She smiled. "I highly doubt that miko." He smirked. "We should have a sparring match once asshole is put away again." She smiled. "We should." He said as he got up.
Kagome then got up and dressed in her work out outfit and walked downstairs with Sesshomaru. "When did he escape and how did he escape?" she asked getting a cup of coffee. "He escaped sometime last night, and it seems he planned it for that night being because it was the new moon. Why would he do that?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome chuckled, "Smart move. He did it because the prison is protected by a strong barrier from the inside keeping the demons inside. If one tried to escape they would be purified or zapped with a lot of pure energy. Being half demon once a month he turns human and the new moon is when he does. And last night once he turned human he used that chance to escape." Kagome said matter of fact. "I had no idea you were well educated in that area." Sesshomaru said. "Duh Sesshomaru I am a miko, I have to know my powers well. And traveling with Inuyasha for so long you kind of get to know everything about him." She said. "True." He said.
Unknown to everyone Inuyasha lurked in the woods that surrounded the back yard. Inuyasha scanned the back yard to see that there were several security guards searching and keeping watch on the house. 'Damn, that bastard knew I was coming.' He thought. Inuyasha had no choice to sit and plot out how he was going to do this without getting caught. He had decided to wait until one of the guards got close enough to him and he would kill him and get his clothes and then kill the other two. After that he would be free to get Kagome after he dealt with his brother.
Not too long after hatching his plan one of the guards walked close to where he was hiding. Inuyasha sprang up and dragged the demon into the woods while covering his mouth. "Thanks for the clothes punk." He said after slitting the demon's throat. Inuyasha quickly put the clothes on and tucked his hair up under the hat and then came out from the woods. "Yazu, what the hell were doing in the woods, we are supposed to be watching the area." One of the other guards said. "Sorry had to take a piss." Inuyasha said walking over to the man. He then looked at the man who looked shocked, "Y…You're not Yazu" The man said before Inuyasha pierced his chest and ripped out his beating heart. "Pathetic." He said stepping over his body and grabbed the last trembling demon. "Awe, let me guess you're new?" He said in a mockingly nice tone. The man shook his head yes. "Well, newbie here's what's going to happen. I am going to let you live so long as you don't give me away to my bastard of a brother." He said showing his fangs. The man even though scared stood his ground. "I can't do that Inuyasha and you know I can't. Now either you can come quietly or I will fight you." The man said. "Fine have it your way." Inuyasha grinned. He then lashed out before the man could move and watched as his head slid from his shoulders and his body slump to the ground with a thud.
Inuyasha shook his head and walked to the back door and opened it. He could hear Kagome talking to Sesshomaru about something in America. 'What's in America?' He thought. He decided he wanted to find out and walked into Sesshomaru's view. He then stood up and growled fiercely. "You have some nerve showing up here. Guards!" Sesshomaru yelled. Inuyasha chuckled, "They are a little preoccupied at the moment. Now Kagome what's in America?" He asked looking into those fierce purple eyes. "None of your business Inuyasha." Kagome growled. "Ooo, someone has grown a pair of balls. But the question is are you no bark or bite, or should I said no meow or scratches?" He laughed. Kagome growled, "Get the fuck out or you will regret it." Kagome hissed. "Oh baby I seriously doubt it." He said looking at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru then lunged forward intent to grab Inuyasha but he moved and took off upstairs. Sesshomaru had chased him into a spare bedroom, when Sesshomaru went to grab him he missed by mere inches but then felt something cold slapped on his wrists. He looked down and saw Inuyasha had managed to handcuff him to the bathroom doorknob. "You think this will stop me whelp?" Inuyasha howled in anger. "Oh I know it will, because you see these aren't just any kind of handcuff, these are demon energy zapping cuffs. You are powerless against me now Sesshomaru. I will deal with you later, but right now I have a mate to claim." He said licking his lips. Sesshomaru's beast was out and was trying to get himself free of the cuffs but it was zapping his energy faster if he struggled. He even tried transforming but wasn't able to. He growled in frustration. 'Inuyasha you better hope to Kami I don't get out of here, because you will be dead before you get back to prison.' He thought.
Inuyasha walked out of the room and saw Kagome come to the top of the stairs. "Oh good I don't have to go looking for you. Now come on Kagome, let's do this the easy way this time. Be a good bitch and lay down." He smiled. "Go fuck yourself Inuyasha. I only submit to Sesshomaru." She hissed. "Not anymore sweetie, your mine." He smirked wickedly. "If you beat me in a fight you can have me." She said. Inuyasha smirked, "Piece of cake, you might as well just coming now." He said. "Shut up and let's go outside." She said. "As you wish." He said mock bowing.
Once outside Kagome saw what he had done to the security. 'Note to self-get bigger security team that can place barriers around themselves.' She thought. "Alright Inuyasha, anything goes in this fight. No rules." She smiled. "My kind of fight, I won't go easy just because you're a woman either." He said. "I wouldn't expect you to." He said. She smiled and then ran at him with such speed he didn't even see her move until it was too late. She landed a hard right hook to his jaw, she was sure she broke something hearing it crack. He flew back and once he had regained his composure he spit some blood and a tooth. "Nice punch, I didn't think you could fight." He said honestly. "Don't judge a book by its cover Inuyasha. It's gotten you into more trouble then you know." She said.
Inuyasha then raced forward and surprised her with a round house kick to the side of the face. Kagome flipped backwards and landed on her feet. "Nice kick, it was a little weak though, and your form lacks finesse." She smirked knowing that would piss him off. "Feh, fuck finesse but I know for damn sure I am not weak bitch." He growled. He then moved at her again but she dodged his attack and elbowed him in the back causing him to slam face first into the dirt, "Oh that brings back memories." She smiled as he jumped up and tried to punch her. Kagome was fast dodging every punch and kick he threw. She then kicked him in the balls and he went down with a thud holding his family jewels. "How could you fall for that again Inuyasha? You're a man you should always have that protected." Kagome said. All she got was a moaning groaning hanyou.
Kagome then picked him up by the neck, "Listen here you piece of shit, I am not weak, and I sure as hell am not your woman. You've caused enough pain in my life to last 100 life times. Now you are going to back to prison." Kagome said. Inuyasha looked at her and spit blood in her face. Kagome frowned and punched him in the stomach and dropped him to the ground where she proceeded to kick the shit out of his stomach and ribs. She knew she broke a few ribs hearing them crack, "I hope you die you worthless demon." She hissed as she transformed into her full demon form.
Upstairs Sesshomaru was watching the fight from a window. He then heard someone come into the room, he looked over and saw Miroku with bolt cutters. "Sorry I am late I couldn't find them." He said as he snapped off the cuffs. He then felt his powers returning to him.
Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's leg and proceeded to thrash back and forth like a dog would with a toy. Inuyasha screamed out in pain. Kagome threw him in the air and grabbed him by the other leg and did the same thing. 'Damnit I underestimated her.' Inuyasha thought. Kagome swatted at him catching his torso and making four very large gashes. Inuyasha screamed out as her claws made contact. Kagome snarled as her beast began to escape more, she now wants him dead.
Once Sesshomaru had enough power back he and Miroku ran outside to see Kagome's eyes were now fully red, her markings were jagged and she was standing over Inuyasha's battered form. As much as he hated his brother he didn't want Kagome killing Inuyasha if he could help it. Sesshomaru walked up to Kagome careful not to scare her. "Kagome you need to calm down. As much as I hate the whelp we should let the police take care of this." He said.
Had Kagome and her beast heard him right? He wanted her to calm down and not kill him, was he kidding? Kagome looked at him and saw he was serious. This pissed her off, and catching Sesshomaru off guard she backed handed him with her giant paw and threw him into the side of the house. "Stay out of this Sesshomaru, my beast and I have control over one another. I know full well what I am doing and so does she. I am not like you or Inuyasha, my beast and I have a special bond. Don't interfere again or my beast might hurt you." Kagome growled. Sesshomaru dusted himself off and growled but was stopped by Miroku. "Let me Sesshomaru." He said holding up a sutra. Sesshomaru nodded and Miroku chanted something and the sutra turned pink and then he threw it at Kagome, but the sutra was incinerated. Kagome looked at Miroku and snarled, "Monk you will be wise not to insult my power. I am the Shikon Miko I hold more spiritual power than anyone alive. Back off." She growled.
Kagome turned back to the quivering hanyou, "Any last words mutt?" She spat. "Yea, just three." He smiled evilly. "What's that?" She smirked. "Fuck you bitch!" He yelled as he sprang forward and pulled a dagger that had sacred writing on it. Kagome had seen the dagger at the last minute and moved but Inuyasha managed to stab her in the shoulder. Kagome howled in pain as the steel burned her flesh. At hearing her cry of pain Sesshomaru's beast took over and he transformed and as Inuyasha fell from Kagome's shoulder he grabbed him in his teeth. "Oh not you too asshole." He growled.
Kagome transformed back into her humanoid self and inspected the wound. It would take some time to heal seeing as it was dark miko power that had entered her. Kagome looked up and saw Sesshomaru had Inuyasha in his jaws and walked up to them. "Bend down Sesshomaru." Kagome said. Sesshomaru bent down with Inuyasha tightly in his grip. "Tell me right now Inuyasha why I shouldn't just slit your throat like you did my security team?" Kagome said. "Feh, that's a no brainer wench. You won't because you love me." He said smiling. Kagome glared, "Wrong mutt, I stopped loving you years ago. When you kept going back to Kikyou that's what broke my heart. I am marrying Sesshomaru and there is nothing you can do about it." Kagome said.
"But how can you love that cold bastard?" Inuyasha asked. "He's not like you think he is, he's very loving and kind. He only treats those who he doesn't like shitty. But I think I will heed Sesshomaru's words and let the police take you in, but this time they will make modifications to your cell." Kagome smiled. "Mark my words Kagome I will have you one way or another." He smiled. "I don't think so." Kagome said.
At that moment the police rushed in with the swat team in toe. "Alright boys take him away. Oh let me give you some tips, make sure you place markings all around the walls and doors along with sutras that sink into the walls. Also that barrier doesn't work on him once a month when he turns human which is the new moon. Got it?" She asked. "Oh don't you worry Miss. Higarashi, he will be placed into solitary confinement until his trial in a month. He will have 3 more murders added to his list, I am sure he will get the needle for this." The cop said.
At hearing this Inuyasha's head snapped up, "What? You guys can't give me the death penalty! Kagome is mine and I had to kill those people to get to her." He said. "Shut up you piece of shit. I hope the judge gives you the death penalty. Now let's go." The officer said yanking the bloodied hanyou from Sesshomaru's mouth.
Once Inuyasha had been taken away Sesshomaru transformed back into his humanoid form and walked over to Kagome. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yea I am fine, he just got me with a dark miko infused dagger. It will heal in a few days or so." Kagome said. After that they went inside and got cleaned up then sat down to relax for a while.
Back at Tokyo Prison, Inuyasha was met by the warden. "Tashio, you're in a lot of trouble. Alright boys lock him up in solitary confinement until his trial. All privileges have been revoked, and only give him the tv dinners for meals. No one goes in unless they are cleared by me got it?" He asked. "Yes sir." The guards said. "Get him out of my sight." The warden growled. So the guards drug Inuyasha through the barrier and into the confines of the building. After getting in an elevator they went down about 6 stories and came out where the solitary confinement cells were.
"Alright Tashio get in there." A guard said shoving Inuyasha into his cell. The door was closed and Inuyasha was left there alone, with no noise and no one to talk to.
A month later Kagome and Sesshomaru were back in the court room testifying against Inuyasha. Once everyone was seated and the judge came out he looked at Inuyasha. "Mr. Tashio why is it you are here before me again?" The judge asked. Inuyasha's lawyer stood, "Because he is being accused of killing Miss. Higarashi's security team and injuring her, which my client is pleading not guilty your honor." She said. Kagome snickered like she couldn't believe this. The lawyer looked at Kagome, "Why do you laugh Miss. Higarashi? You have falsely accused my client of harming you and killing your security team." She sneered. "Listen here wench, he did attack me and killed the finest men that paid with their lives to protect me. I have my own way of showing the court the truth." She growled. "Ladies please, you will both have your chance to prove your side of the story, right now please take a seat." The judge said. "Yes your honor." They both said and sat down.
Sesshomaru noticed Kagome moving her injured shoulder as if it were in pain, and he leaned over to her. "Are you alright, you look like you are in pain." He said. "The stab wound isn't healing, it still bleeds and right now it just really hurts. I haven't looked at it in a while so I don't know if it is infected." She whispered. "Do you want me to take a look?" He asked. "No I think I can manage until after the trial." She said moving her shoulder in a circular motion. Sesshomaru was uncertain but he trusted his fiancée's word.
10 minutes later things were getting underway. Inuyasha had been called to the stand and his lawyer walked up to start questioning. "Mr. Tashio please tell the court where you were a month ago on the day January 28th at 10 a.m." His lawyer said. "Gladly, I was locked up in my cell here." He said. "No further questions your honor." She said sitting down. Hiro then got up, "Do you have an alibi?" Hiro asked. Inuyasha paled, he hadn't thought of securing an alibi. "Uh, of course. Just ask the warden and the guards." Inuyasha huffed. "That's a lie your honor!" A voice rang out.
The judge looked up, "Who dare speaks out?" He growled. "My name is Myoga, I am on your desk your honor." He said. The judge looked down to see the old flea. "Myoga, the Myoga who fought alongside the great Inunotashio?" He asked. "Yes my lord." He said. "Myoga what the hell do you think you are doing?" Inuyasha hissed. "Doing what is right, your father would be turning over in his grave if he saw you now. You should be ashamed of yourself for the way you have been acting. How could you attack lady Kagome?" He asked saddened. "She's mine and you know it and she knows it. If I can't have her no one will." He growled.
Myoga then turned to the judge, "Your honor, Inuyasha and his lawyer have been lying. On the day you are speaking about Inuyasha escaped from prison seeing as it was the new moon when he turns human. He then sought Lady Kagome out, knowing he wouldn't be able to go up against any demons until morning her hid out back in the woods waiting until morning. When the security team was placed out back he waited and killed the first one who came near him. After that he killed the other two and then walked into the house. The next thing I know Lady Kagome and Inuyasha come out and start to fight. Lady Kagome is defending herself against Inuyasha and she transforms. She put a pretty good beating on Inuyasha but right before the police got there he stabbed her with a dagger." Myoga finished. "And you were there Myoga to see this?" The judge asked. "Yes your honor." Myoga said. "Objection your honor, we had no knowledge of Myoga's involvement." Inuyasha's lawyer said. "Sustained, I'll allow his testimony. Lady Kagome, you look as if you are in pain, are you alright?" The judge asked. "Sort of your honor, the stab wound that Inuyasha inflicted on me was infused with dark miko energy. It doesn't want to heal." She said holding her throbbing shoulder.
Myoga then hopped from the desk to Kagome, "May I see the wound my lady?" He asked. Kagome nodded and slid her shirt over her shoulder down. Myoga saw the bandage soaked with blood, "Would you remove the patch so that I can see it?" he asked. Kagome took the bandage off and Myoga inspected the wound and gasped. "What is it?" Kagome and the judge asked. "Not only was that dagger infused with dark miko energy but it also had a high dosage of myasthma. I am surprised you haven't died from it, but if we don't do something quick then you will die." Myoga said. Everyone in the court room gasped, then the judge turned to the jury, "Do you need time to deliberate or do you have a verdict here and now?" He asked hurriedly. "We have a verdict your honor, we find the defendant guilty on the three counts of murder in the 1st degree and assault in the 1st degree." The man said reading a paper. "Alright, I hear by sentence you to death Mr. Tashio. I shall see to it myself you have the needle in your arm by the end of today." The judge hissed. Inuyasha growled and began to get angry and transform, but before things could get out of hand one of the guards took aim with his Taser and shot Inuyasha in the neck making him convulse and pass out.
The judge then got up and walked over to Kagome, "Myoga what do we need to do to cure her?" he asked. "We need a healer who is schooled in dark magic and potent poisons." He said. Kagome hearing this cringed as the pain kept creeping down her arm. "Um, guys it's moving down my arm." Kagome said in pain. "We need that healer now!" Myoga yelled. "Right." The judge said and looked up to the audience, "Is anyone here a healer in dark magic's and potent poisons?" He asked. "I am." A small voice came as a young girl who was all white stepped forward. "Come child, we need your help." The judge said.
The girl walked over to Kagome who was leaning on Sesshomaru. Kagome looked up and gasped, "Kana?" She asked. "Yes Kagome it is I, now please let me see your arm." She said. Kagome nodded and pulled her arm out of her sleeve. Kana saw that the poison and dark miko energy was starting to override Kagome's strong miko powers. Kana placed her hand over Kagome's shoulder and concentrated her energy and pinpointed the negative energy and the myasthma. She then chanted a few ancient words as her hand began to glow a light pink. Kagome could feel her power pulling the negative power from her along with purifying the myasthma.
It took her 10 minutes to do this and once done she took her hand away from her arm. "Thank you Kana, but how did you live to this time?" Kagome asked placing her arm back in her shirt. "Once the jewel was complete Kaugura and I were released from Naraku's spell. Since we are both Youkai we lived to this time." She smiled. Kagome found the girl cute now that she could smile. "What have you and Kaugura been doing now?" She asked. "We work as teachers of the ancient arts of healing." She said. "Wow, never thought I'd see the day. Thanks Kana." Kagome said. "You're welcome Kagome. I guess I will see you around." She said standing to leave. "I would really like it if you could come to our wedding, you and Kaugura." Kagome said leaning on Sesshomaru. "We would like that, I will drop by Sesshomaru's office and drop off our contact info tomorrow." She said. "Alright, bye." Kagome said. "Bye." Kana said and left.
"Who would have thought, well it looks like things are all good here. Let's go home Sesshomaru. We leave in a few weeks for America so let's go get prepared for that." She said. Sesshomaru stood up, "Alright one moment Kagome." He said turning to the judge and Hiro. "Thank you for all your help, now will Inuyasha's death be today or can you hold it off until tomorrow so that I might be able to attend?" He asked. "Sesshomaru I am not sure that is such a good idea." Hiro said. "Uncle it's ok, for over 300 years I wanted to take Inuyasha's life myself, but since I can't I would like the pleasure of watching the whelp die for ever threatening my intended. You know as well as anyone that anyone who threatens anyone in their pack will die and since it's the 21st century I can't so all I am asking is to watch." He said. "I understand, but please tell me that Kagome is not going to be there. Seeing that may cause more pain." Hiro said. "What do you mean?" Sesshomaru asked. "Well even though Inuyasha has hurt her severely she still has a soft spot in her heart and watching him die would most likely make her feel guilty." Hiro said. "I see, no she will not be joining me. Judge could you schedule this early in the morning?" He asked. "Of course Sesshomaru, how is 7 a.m. for you?" He asked. "That is fine, I will be here at 6:30 a.m." He said turning to Kagome.
"What did you talk about?" She asked. "Inuyasha's fate, don't worry yourself over it. Come lets go home." He said taking her hand in his. "Ok, could we go get some lunch first? I am starving." She said. "Of course, where would you like to go?" He asked. "Anywhere." She said. He nodded and they left.
After lunch the rest of the day was carried out relaxing. Kagome and Sesshomaru curled up in the living room with hot chocolate in front of the fire watching movies. Kagome had ended up falling asleep and missing dinner, but Sesshomaru decided to take her to bed rather than wake her to eat. He also decided to skip dinner and get some sleep seeing as he would be getting up early.
Morning came quickly and Sesshomaru got up and got dressed. When he walked down stairs the staff was surprised to see him awake. "Good morning my lord, can I get you something to eat?" Suki asked. "Not this morning Suki, I have to get to the prison. Do not tell Kagome where I am, if she does get up before I return just tell her I went to get her a surprise." He said. "Yes my lord." She said and bowed.
Sesshomaru put his coat on and walked out the door and got into his car and left. Once to the prison he was greeted by the warden. "Good morning my lord, everything is ready." He said and motioned for him to follow. Once there Sesshomaru was lead into a room where there was a piece of glass between him and Inuyasha who was strapped down by magic restraints so he couldn't break them. Inuyasha watch as his brother walked into the room and glared at him with such ferocity. "May I have a word with him before he dies?" Sesshomaru asked. "Of course my lord." The warden said leading him into the room.
Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru growled, "What the hell are you doing here? Glad to see me die?" He asked with such hate. "Inuyasha, I hope the Kami take pity on your soul because I am sure you are going to hell where you belong. It's just a pity I couldn't send you there myself. Father would be disgusted with you, you would think that even with half his blood you would be smarter and more honorable." He said glaring right back at him. "Feh, fuck the old man, I never knew him like you did. And I don't need anybody giving me pity mother fucker. Why don't you just leave and let me die in peace and let me have some dignity." He hissed. "Dignity is something you never had." Sesshomaru said walking out and going back to his seat on the other side.
Inuyasha's heart was racing, he didn't want to die and at that moment he was sorry for everything he had done. He looked up at Sesshomaru, "I'm sorry, tell Kagome I am sorry." He pleaded. "I will tell her no such thing, she has suffered enough by you hand." Sesshomaru said. "Fine then, fuck you asshole." He hissed. Sesshomaru gave the warden the signal to go ahead and begin the process.
Inuyasha looked over when someone walked in in a doctor's coat. He saw him grab a needle and fill it with a liquid, "Come near me with that I'll kill you." He hissed. "Yea right, you can't move you dumb mutt." The doctor laughed. Inuyasha was trying his best to break the restraints but it was no use. The doctor came over and found a vein on his arm and place the needle at his skin and pushed through. He then pushed the concoction into Inuyasha's system and took the needle out.
Sesshomaru watched as Inuyasha convulsed a little before his whole body went slack. The doctor felt for a pulse and shook his head indicating that he was indeed dead. Sesshomaru let out a sigh, 'What a waste, he could have been great and done good things but he chose this path for himself.' Sesshomaru thought as he got up. Before he left the warden came up to him, "I'm sorry it had to come to this my lord." He said. "It's ok, he chose this path for himself. No one could help him." He said before turning to leave and go home so that he and Kagome could prepare for their upcoming trip.
Before coming home though he stopped off and got Kagome a dozen red roses as her "surprise." And once home he noticed she still wasn't up so he opted to have something to eat.
About 4 hours later Kagome awoke and come downstairs to see Sesshomaru in the living room watching the news. "Good morning." She said. "Good morning, did you sleep well?" He asked. "Yes, I did." She said. Kagome turned to look at the latest news reports and gasped. "This morning the top story, Inuyasha Tashio was put to death at 7 a.m. at Tokyo Prison for his crimes. He murdered 9 people and among those were three special operations soldiers that worked as Sesshomaru Tashio's security team and two were prison guards who dealt with Inuyasha himself. The other four were prisoners at Tokyo Prison who got caught in the crossfire of an angry demon. Inuyasha is succeeded by his older brother Sesshomaru Tashio and his Uncle Hiro Tashio. That is all on this news report." The woman said.
Sesshomaru eyed Kagome and knew what she was thinking. "This isn't your fault Kagome and you know it." He said. "I know, but with all the things he had done to me and to us I still can't put aside that he was once my best friend. What changed him so?" She asked a little saddened that Inuyasha was no long among the living. "Us." Sesshomaru said. "Hu, what do you mean?" Kagome asked. "Inuyasha always loved you and never stopped. He figured that even though Kikyou was with him that you'd wait until she passed on again. When she did and you rejected him that's when he began to change, then seeing us together was the last straw I suppose. But either way Kagome, killing 9 people is still wrong and attacking you was even worse." Sesshomaru said. Kagome snickered at that, "Boy you have your priorities mixed up. Shouldn't him killing 9 people be worse than attacking me?" She asked. "Not to me, Kagome if I had lost you and he had succeeded in killing you I don't know what I would have done. To be honest I think it might have been me in prison." He smirked. "You would kill Inuyasha if he killed me?" She asked. "Of course, you are my everything Kagome. No one and I mean no one will take you from me. By the end of the year you will finally be mine fully and then we will be perfect and live our life to the fullest." He said pulling her close. "Um, Sesshomaru I was thinking about that. I was wondering if we could get married this summer." She said blushing. "This summer, why the summer?" He asked. "Because I want a summer wedding and I want a nice warm honeymoon." She said. "Very well, it is up to you. You make a date and I will work around it." He said kissing the top of her head. "Really?" She asked. "Really." He said just enjoying her company.
So for the rest of the day they spent it talking about wedding stuff and her upcoming surgery.
A/N: Sorry this has taken so long to get up. I hope you like it. I am working on the next chapter as well.
