Chap 9
DeathRow
Kagome's Dorm
Kagome sat up from her bed and yawned, while seemingly trying to reach for the ceiling. Inuyasha was still alseep, to her relief. She really didn't want to give any free peep shows. She hurried to the bathroom to get washed up and dressed. Inuyasha eventually followed suit and they made their way to class.
In class
"Did you hear about the rumors?"
"Yea, humans in our school? Can you believe that?"
"I hear an entire harem of monsters are in trouble for hiding them"
"Executions will be today I heard"
"They don't fool around do they?"
"It's a shame really, Akashiya san was such a hottie too"
Kagome was listening to this intently, but when she heard Moka's name- she bolted out of her chair and ran down the hall to confirm the rumors herself.
"What the fuck?" Inuyasha barely had time to grab his sword and chase after her.
The teacher was just dumbstruck, but decided to start class.
"Kagome wait up dammit!" despite his speed Inuyasha could barely keep up.
Kagome made it to the room and rushed in and looked around the class. True to the rumors seats were missing, quite a few.
'Dammit, now where the hell would I take humans if I wanted them to be executed? Or better yet, interrogated?' Kagome didn't have to think long before the intercom came on.
It pretty much summed up everything she needed to know-
"Attention students of Yokai Academy. We, the enforcement group, have just apprehended demons suspected of being humans, and fellow monsters harboring them. We advise all the students to remain calm. Executions will commence at 1600 hours."
"Inuyasha, thats a few hours away! We don't have much time we have to find them!"
"And do what? Fight the entire enforcement group? If they find out they are human they will be executed, its a rule of the school! Even if we did defeat the group, the headmaster will just send someone else or come and do the job himself! This game was over the very moment those idiots were left to run their mouths. They are some stupid and violent humans and they won't be missed," Inuyasha argued.
"Thats not the point Inuyasha, they have Tsukune and he did nothing wrong. He was ultimately a victim of those idiots and we are going to save him, understand!"
Inuyasha just glared at her.
"Good, now go sniff out their seats and we will locate them by scent," Kagome smiled has she felt satisfied at winning the argument.
"..." Inuyasha took off silently to avoided saying something his face would regret.
"Fucking dammit!, this isn't over, when I get out of here I'm kicking all of your asses!" Yusuke screamed while trying to rattle the bars to the cell. He didn't have much luck though, the cell was build to hold monsters so no ordinary human had any chance of breaking out.
"Yusuke calm down, this isn't helping the situation. We need a plan," Kuruma naturally tried to reason with thug.
"A plan? Wait a second, that vampire bitch! She's supposed to be strong, she can get us out of here!" Yusuke pointed to Moka at the furtherest corner of the cell. She wanted nothing to do with the brash young man and blamed him for the predicament they were in. She didn't want Tsukune to die over some thug's antics. Why couldn't they just kill off Yusuke and Kuwabara and leave her Tsukune alone?
Kurama took a glance at her in her fetal position.
'Even with her seal removed Yusuke and Kuwubara may just be considered an enemy as much as our captors,' Kurama thought.
"That's not going to work Yusuke, she is simply not in the right state of mind, but getting out of here is only half the problem. We still have to prove all of us in here are demons because if one of us is found out we all die,"
"Anyone have any ideas?" Kuwabara questioned.
Tsukune and his friends did not want to work with the very people responsible for putting them here. Kurama and Hiei weren't too bad, but the humans were just awful and none of his friends would lose any sleep if they just went away.
But Tsukune knew that they were in this together, regardless of whose fault it was. They either all were found innocent or they all die.
"Hey guys...um we should probably work together to get through this crisis alive. So let's put our differences aside this once and think of a way to get out of here," Tsukune scratched the back of his head, hoping no one would object.
Moka and Kurumu looked at Tsukune with new resolve.
"Oh Tsukune!" Moka clung on to him while crying on his chest.
"I know that, but I'm just so scared. I don't want to lose you," Moka cried.
Tsukune didn't really know what to do so he just held her tightly.
"I'm scared too Moka," he confesses to her.
"This is all very sentimental and crap, but we are wasting time, will the bitch do it or not?" Yusuke said, ruining the moment as usual.
With a new look of determination on her face she glared at Yusuke.
"I will, but not for your sake, it's for Tsukune's"
"Whatever, just break down the cell door and I'll do the ass kicking," Yusuke gave her a smirk and a wink that made her shudder.
Kurama just signed.
'Why do I get the feeling Yusuke isn't finished causing trouble yet?' thought Kurama.
The gang waited for a guard to come and check on them. At that time Tsukume released Moka's seal and she kicked through the cell right into the guard, who hit the wall and fell unconscious.
'Weak security generally isn't a good sign, that just means-' Kurama's thought was interrupted by a rush of guards that came after hearing the racket.
'Damn...2...5...17, about 20 random monsters, and 7 of us. This might be fun,' Yusuke smirked as he counted the number of guards that blocked their path both forward and backward. The hallway was pretty narrow, so the others were clearly worried and shared looks of discontent with each other.
Inner-Moka looked at Yusuke.
"For a human, you seem to enjoy this, even anticipate it to a degree," It was more of a statement than a question. Inner Moka was a fighter herself and could understand the thrill of a good challenge.
"Yea, lets just say I love a good fight," Yusuke smiled.
'Interesting,' thought Inner Moka.
Everyone's yokai started to increase in anticipation for the fight. What surprised the demons (even the guards) was that the human's followed suit; with a different kind of energy.
'This was going to be an interesting fight indeed,' Inner Moka smirked.
"Tsukune, stay behind us!" Inner Moka started to charge until...
"HEY YOU BASTERDS! Out of my fucking way! I'm not about to die and become some orc shit!" Yusuke charged right past Inner Moka ready to brawl.
"What the HELL Yusuke?, aw fuck it," Kuwabara followed suit. And the rest took after the human's lead.
Inuyasha and Kagome were on the trail. It lead them to the outskirts of the campus to the entrance of a cave.
"Inuyasha," Kagome looked at him in the eye. He nodded and they rushed in to the rescue.
Yusuke slipped to swipes and counted with a punch to the stomach and hook punch to a monster. Surprisingly the monster was stunned a bit, but quickly recovered and continued his assault.
Kuwabara didn't fare much better, his attacks stunned, but didn't end any fighters. He wasn't as good of a dodger as Yusuke, but he could tank hits a lot better than him. The spirit energy gave both of them armor properties, similar to how yokai gave attributes to vampires and other monsters.
Hiei and Kurama slaughtered the monsters with relative ease. Kurama used a whip, derived from a rose that cut the flesh of anyone it came into contact with. Hiei's sword was confiscated, but his speed and fire attacks wiped out a good number the opponents.
Kurumu clawed through a few of the opponents, but with limited mobility due to the space, she was out of her element. Her wings were useless and against the heavier armored guards she couldn't do much. Though she was determined to protect Tsukune.
Inner Moka was impressed with the human's effort, but far more impressed with their friend's abilities. They were defeating enemies at a pace faster than her. Inner Moka wasn't new to killing her foes, but never in the manner Hiei and Kurama were showing. Guards were being burned alive and cut in pieces in a manner of seconds. How two humans befriended such demons of high class gave her second thoughts about getting rid of Yusuke and the other human. She wasn't sure she could take on both the demons.
After the battle finished everyone was a little winded, but continued to get to the upper levels of the prison. When they reached entrance of the cave, they saw two people fighting about 100 more guards.
Tsukune recognized one of the people fighting as Kagome.
"KAGOME!" He yelled.
For the first time since he entered Yokai Academy, he felt completely helpless. There was absolutely nothing he could do to protect his friends who were risking their lives because of him. Yet, three humans fought these monsters despite the hopelessness of it. They didn't seem scared, rather the thugs seemed to enjoy it and Kagome looked completely in control of the situation. It was like the three of them had some type of special power. And all Tsukune could do was just sit back and watch...he truly felt a nauseating feeling inside of himself. His friends often criticized the way the thugs acted, but right now Tsukune truly wanted to be strong and brave just like them, even if only once.
