Not Another Teen Story!
Chapter 7: Money Honey
When Kagome awoke, Inuyasha was still asleep. Yashirah, however, was awake and sitting on her bed, mediating. Carefully, Kagome moved away from Inuyasha and off the bed. Stretching her body until her muscles were taut, she shook the last remnants of sleep from her body and went to get some food for her friends. She opened the door quietly, and there, with her back to her, stood Kikyo.
Kagome ducked into an opposing room, where she could listen in on the conversation she was having with, she guessed was Naraku.
"Yeah, the doctor said he's stable, but he'll be bedridden for another day or so, and on some pain medication. I'll slip him something in his IV and he'll be out of our hair for good." Silence. "I would get it now but I have to wait until that whore Kagome is out of sight. She'll be watching him like a hawk. And Yashirah? That crazy bitch is in detox where she can't get in my way. It'll be like taking candy from a baby. Don't worry about anything, and I'll let you know when the job is done." Closing her phone with a click, she walked down the hall, her high heels clicking ominously.
Kagome's hands balled into fists and she was tempted to step out of her hiding place, swinging at the back of Kikyo's head before she got far. But she had a far better idea in the works…
It was well after midnight when Kikyo walked into Inuyasha's room. It was mostly dark, aside from the machines hooked up to monitor Inuyasha's progress.
Kikyo stood over him, the machines casting an eerie light on the smirk on her face. In her hands were a syringe and a vial from which she withdrew a mysterious liquid.
"Oh, Inuyasha, I'm so sorry it had to end like this," she said to herself, although she wasn't sorry at all. "But this is the only way to make sure I get what I want out of life."
Her smirk widened into an eviller grin. "You're just lucky your sister doesn't get to meet the same fate tonight. I'll just have to wait it out with her, won't I? Maybe she'll 'overdose' on anti-depressants after your death, or get in a driving incident. And whose to blame?" She giggled evilly to herself, tapping the syringe a bit and preparing to stick it into the bag of IV fluid. "It was a nice ride while it lasted. Goodnight, Inuyasha."
The curtain concealing Kagome and Yashirah from view was whipped back violently, and Kagome tackled Kikyo away from Inuyasha's bedside. Kikyo let out a screech of surprise, waking Inuyasha from his deadened slumber.
"What the hell are you doing?!" he yelled, seeing Kagome sitting atop Kikyo's back.
"Kikyo was against you the whole time! She was gonna kill you and take control of your share of your parents' company!" Kagome blurted.
"She was going to murder you in cold blood, Yasha! She was gonna put you to sleep like a dog!" Yashirah said, ready to kill Kikyo in a moment's notice.
Inuyasha looked nonplussed, not completely able to take in what she just told him, and not entirely believing.
"Inuyasha, they're lying! I don't even have a weapon! How could I kill you?" Kikyo said, trying to gain his sympathy once again.
"Oh, you got us there, Kinky-Ho! But… wait! What's this?" Kagome picked up the vial, which had been kicked under the bed. "Anti-coagulant? Why would this be in here?" She tossed it to him so he could see it for himself.
Kikyo licked her lips, searching for an answer. "That's not evidence. Maybe a doctor brought it in here."
"Something to make it so Inuyasha's blood doesn't clot? Any fool would know that will kill him, especially in this amount. He's already lost too much blood, and this would only make quick work of him for a conniving bitch that wanted him gone since the get-go," Yashirah snarled.
A dead silence fell over them. Kikyo, for once, looked nervous. There was no way she could prove her innocence. At any moment they suspected her to spout out her admission of guilt, or at least make a weak attempt to defend herself. She did neither. Instead, she sprang for the door. However, she didn't make it far. Sesshomaru was standing just outside the door, a police officer and detective at each side.
"Ah, Miss Kikyo. I've just come to gather you. Detective Daguerro and Lieutenant Kuroi would like to have a word with you. Something about a murder plot. I'm not clear on the details, but I'm sure the wire we used to tap the room and the security cameras will fill in a few plot holes."
And with that, Kikyo was no more.
Chango: No, it's not over quite yet! There will be a bit more filler, but I thought this was a good place to leave it off. I don't want to make it a one-chapter finale. I promise I will be updating soon, don't fret!
