I do not own Inuyasha or Co.

"I hate you," I snapped.
"Hate is a strong word, but I hated you then, and I hate you now. I don't want to love someone like you," he flashed his claws at me, "so I'll rid of you and get on with my life."
"Bastard!" I flung up my MK22 and fired it.
I nailed the right shoulder and fired another shot, this hitting his left leg. I went to fire another, but he was still standing. He laughed.
"You think that small gun will kill me?"
I smiled, "No, but this might."
I fired the SVD and waited for him to fall. It shot through his shoulder and yet he still stood. I was amazed. He was still standing even after a rifle shot? He practically begged me to kill him with it an hour ago. I went to ask a question.
"You…you're… not dead?" I felt the words lump together in my throat.
He smiled, "Not quite."
Good Eye Sniper
I felt my body numb at his words. It was impossible was it not? How was this bastard still standing? It had to be a trick. He had to be in pain! I shook with rage and fear at the same time. What was I going to do? I searched the ground for answers. Nothing.
Damn it.
I felt cold as the sweat beads trickled down my face. My hair clung to my forehead and I desperately needed water. I swallowed a hard lump deep in my throat. I could see him gazing at me with that stupid smirk on his face. I wanted to shoot again, but what was the point? He wasn't down after three shots! It was ridiculous, and he still stood.
"How? How?!" I shouted the words with rage and fear.
"Don't you get it? Damn Kagome, you're as dense as Mojito said you where," his face turned sour.
Just die.
I moved to the left as far as I could scoot. I faced the wall behind me. Clutching the cold rifle in my hands, I cursed at the very man behind me. I needed a plan, and I needed one fast. I could feel the sweat droplets slide down my face. My hair clutched to my forehead. What was I going to do?
I can't fail. I can't fail. I won't fail.
I smirked. I tapped the communication button and listened for the beep. I used a slightly different sequence so the dog-boy behind me couldn't hear it. That's why he told me to change the frequency if I got to close to the target. I heard the Commander on the other end. I shifted and pressed the Alert signal switch.
"On our way Higurashi," his voiced sounded.
I smirked.
I turned, "Inuyasha, was it? Tell me. How do I destroy an incredible man such as yourself?"
His looked confused, "Now why would you want to destroy me?"
"I have my reasons," I smiled.
"What are these reasons Miss. Higurashi?"
My head began to fume. I could see Mojito's face flash before my eyes.
Why? Why remind me of him at a time like this?
"Kagome!"
I turned to the voice that yelled my name. He was waving at me, and smiling. What was he doing? I could see that he was holding something. I started off to him in the direction I turned. Maybe it was for me, or maybe it was for Kirara. I wasn't too sure. I stopped abruptly. Kirara was purring happily on the chair next to him. I smiled.
"Good girl," she leaned into my touch.
I turned back to Mojito.
"I have something for you," he held up a package.
It was from my mother. I didn't have to open it to know what it was.
"My wedding dress," my voice fell.
It was the last thing I wanted at this moment. I was exactly ready to marry Mojito. I simply adored Mojito, but I just wasn't ready.
"It was nice of her to send it to you," he smiled.
I nodded in agreement.
"I love you Kobito," he whispered.
I felt his hot breath on my neck, "And I you my love."
I felt his kisses rises from my neck to my lips.
The rest is history.
I snapped back to reality. I focused on the man before me.
"Why are you trying to kill me Miss. Higurashi?"
"You asked that already," I smirked.
"Then answer me," he pushed.
I took a deep breath as I heard the Alert signal remind me that the Commander was just outside this dreaded hole. It was time to take action.
"Because dear Inuyasha," I paused, "you are in alliance with Naraku Onigumo and I refuse to let you destroy our country!"
His eyes flashed red, and his lips formed an angry scowl. Before he could say or do anything, the Commander and the Elite Force fell from the entrance. Attacking Inuyasha and darting him until he fell unconscious. They air lifted him into the chopper.
"Well, not exactly what I had in mind," I turned to him and grinned.
"Nor did I," he made his way to my side. "Higurashi," he never finished his sentence.
With the Commanders help, I found my way to the ladder, and the chopper lifted us to the main grounds. Once on top, I saw them place Inuyasha in a container made of plastic. He was tied to the base of the container with chains. I smiled, then frowned. Why did I have this feeling of guilt wash over me? I stopped and placed my gun on the chopper ledge before the Captain hoisted me up on the seat. I placed my left fore finger to my lips. I let the AID take control of my twisted ankle. I couldn't help but wince as he wrapped the bandage around the swollen spot. I looked to the left and saw Inuyasha. He looked so peaceful. I really did feel guilty, but why?
The feeling of his lips pressed to mine sent a shiver down my spine. I actually yearned for him to pull me close.
What the hell Higurashi. Snap out of it!
I looked at the Commander. His face was solemn. I figured I messed up, but he nodded.
"You did well, Kagome," I smiled.
He never used my name. I mean never. I placed my head against the seat. The pain swelling up in my leg now. I needed meds and fast. The AID saw the look in my eyes and took me by the shoulder.
"Higurashi-sama," he whispered.
"Yes?"
"I'll be glad to give you a shot to ease the pain," he smiled.
"Thank you," I nodded.
I felt the tiny pinch as he put the needle into my flesh. It wasn't long before the feeling of drowsiness washed over me.
"Will she recover Doctor?"
"She'll pull through," he paused, "but it could be long time."
Voices. Voices surrounded me.
I could hear people talking about this poor girl. Her condition, as the doctor said, is horrific. A lot of blood was drained and a few stitches have been put in place. Her leg is broken with a splint holding it together. A gash slit across her forehead, where most of the blood seeped through. A body wrap covered her chest and abdomen. She was motionless. Who was this poor girl? What had happened to her? I opened my eyes only to snap them shut again. The light was too bright and my pupils retracted. I groaned and it was muffled by the mask covering my lips. I saw a man in white hovering above me. He clutched a clipboard that I could only guess held a patients information.
Why couldn't I move? My face was struck with grief.
Oh no.
I am the poor girl.
My eyes searched the room. I was looking for answers. I guess the man understood me. He took my hand and smiled genuinely. I strained my ears to hear him. His voice filled my ears to the brim.
"Higurashi-sama," I gulped.
If what I heard about this recovery thing, I was afraid to hear the story.
"You where ambushed in the Tropical Forest. The Elite Force airlifted you here to Tokyo for the best possible recovery. You lost a lot of blood, but thanks to your Commander, you have stabled."
I sighed. At least I am okay. I moved my eyes over to the Commander, he was talking to Mojito. The two glanced at me before Mojito smiled and left the room. I wondered why he had done that. The Commander smiled at me and left the same way Mojtio had exited. A nurse came in and rested her hand against mine. She held up a shot and told me this would ease the pain. Now I hate getting shots, but if it eases pain, I'm up for it. The last thing I recall is the look the Doctor gave me before sleep took over.
Warmth.
It feels so good against my skin. I felt pretty damn good to have a swollen ankle. I moved my left foot just to see what I could do. It still stung, but it didn't feel twice as bad as last night.
I slowly open my eyes and immediately shield them from the sun boarding through a window. I tried to survey the room I was in. Creamy, colored walls. White curtains against the warm window frames. A shelf full of books. A small table with a tray placed upon it. A couch I was lying on. A dog-eared man resting beside me.
Dog-eared boy?
Inuyasha!
I scrambled up and limped to the bookcase. I was far enough to question why he was here. The door on the far right side of the room opened. The Commander flooded in. He rushed to my side and helped me to the couch I once resided on. he plopped next to me. I could tell he had a thing or two on his mind. I rested my head against the back of the couch. He looked in the direction of Inuyasha who was standing calmly, chained to the plastic container. He was propped against the wall. I wanted to move closer to Inuyasha, but I knew it was foolish.
"Commander?"
"Hm?"
I glanced at him and then focused back on the ceiling, "I had the dream again."
"Ambushed dream?"
I shook my head, "No. This time it was in the hospital room."
He looked at me then back at Inuyasha, "Yes, I remember that day."
"Why did Mojito and yourself leave without a word?"
He stood and straightened his uniform, "Mojito knew the consequences of the mission you were assigned to."
I was confused, "What now?"
"Mojito didn't want to communicate with you in the state you where in. He decided to leave and wait for you to return home."
I became very angry, "Why?"
"Because the woman he loved and planned to marry was lying in a hospital bed almost dead," he glanced down on me.
"Oh," my reply was short.
"I need to talk to you about this," he pointed to Inuyasha, " and the reason you couldn't kill him."
"He's a han... half-demon," I spoke quietly.
"That means," he paused, eyes wide.
"That means he is very hard to take down with gun fire. He healed as quickly as I shot him."
The Commander sighed. He closed his eyes and moved to the door.
"Higurashi," he stopped.
"Sir?"
"Keep and eye on him for me," with that he left.
"Yes, sir." I fell back on the couch and squirmed.
Why me?
Night came quickly for me since the Commander left. I opened the window to the small room, and let the cool air flood in. It was wonderful. I could feel it whip through my hair. I stared at the moon for a good few moments before I felt a pair of eyes bore in cranium. I moved back and failed to turn before he spoke.
"Get me out of these bindings wench," his voice fierce.
"No."
"What? Bitch, do as I command," he snarled.
"Oswari," I giggled.
I heard a loud thump. I spun around to see the chains snapped and Inuyasha plastered against the container.
What the hell happened to him?
"Damn it!" He cursed.
I moved closer, "What did you do?"
"What did I do?! Bitch you sat me into the container wall!" He tried to get up.
"Oswari," I repeated.
Again he fell into the wall.
"Oh wow," I was amused.
"Stop it wench!"
I giggled and stood back up, "Okay."
He stood and crossed his arms, "Stupid bitch."
"Oswair."
He hit the wall once again. I couldn't help but giggle at his reactions. Why was he being such an inconsiderate jerk?
Because I want him dead.
I laughed a little. Oh yeah. I stopped for a second before I realized that every time I say oswari, he falls. I gave a curious smile and turned to the target I so hopefully wanted destroyed. I put my face close to the plastic, since he yet to stand after the third oswari. He turned with a faint look of embarrassment written on his face. I tapped against the surface with my fore-finger. He slowly, but surely, looked in my direction.
"What? Wanna sit me again like a little puppy?"
I shook my head, "No. More like an irritated, grumpy dog," my head fumed.
"Feh," was his only reply.
I stood and sat on the couch, "Why is it that when I say osw..." I stopped, "when I say it you fall into the ground?"
He sat up and crossed his arms, "It's a long story. Anyways; what does it matter to you human?"
"You're half human too baka," I stated.
"Keh," he looked away, once again.
"Tell me," I demanded.
"No!" he snapped.
"I'll say it, I swear I will," I threatened.
He backed up, "I was cursed by my.... by an old hag. She put this damn rosary around my neck."
"So there subjugation beads?"
His voice was gruff, "Heard of 'em eh?"
I nodded, "Why did she curse you? This old hag of yours? Was she a lover?"
He nearly chocked, "WHAT?"
I shrugged.
"No, she was the sister of my lov.... ex-girlfriend," he crossed his arms and turned away.
"Oh, what happened to her?"
"Do you always pry you ass-wipe?"
I had about enough, "Oswari!"
He hit the wall once again. This was getting fun.
"She died alright? She was killed by a man seven years ago," he put his hands behind his head.
"Sorry about that," I shook. "You already know about my ex... fiancee," I murmured.
"Yeah," he grew silent.
I rested back on the couch before he startled me. I moved away from him and glared into his amber orbs. I wasn't afraid of him, but of what he could do.
It's different, okay?
"How in the hell could you ever imply that I was working with the sick bastard that killed Kikyo?!" He shook the container.
"What now?" I moved closer.
"Naraku Onigumo is the bastard that killed Kikyo seven years ago you stupid bitch," he cracked the surface.
Inuyasha! Stay away from him!" Kikyo took off in a fit of rage as Naraku closed in on Inuyasha and his partner.
"No! Kikyo run!" Inuyasha lunged for her.
He caught her by the arm and pulled her into his chest. The small petite woman trembled against his toned body. He hugged her close. He wanted to tell her everything would be alright, but it wouldn't be and she knew it. Hell, he knew it too, but he was trying to convince himself that it was a dream, no, a nightmare. Inuyasha pushed Kikyo into the nearest, dark corner.
"Stay," he barked.
She was terrified. No way in hell was she going to lose the only man she loved. She was after all, his girlfriend. She pulled a small rifle from her purse and stalked out of the darkness. She coward behind the cars in the massive parking garage. Inuyasha's partner, Miroku, stood next to him in a stance. She aimed the gun at the man sulking towards them. His eyes ablaze and hair matted into a huge knot.
"Naraku," the man's name fell from Inuyasha's tongue like venom.
"Nice to see you Inuyasha," Naraku used a sarcastic tone in his voice.
"What do you want?" Miroku hissed.
Naraku glared at the monk that stood next to Inuyasha, "Live together, die together right?"
Inuyasha and Miroku nodded, "Brothers do that sort of thing."
Inuyasha turned. Miroku never spoke of them as brothers, but he was glad he did. Damn, Miroku beat Sesshomaru by a lot then. He glanced back in the direction of Naraku. He could tell his eyes where on another target.
Kikyo.
Inuyasha turned to see Kikyo fire the gun at Naraku. The man hissed in pain, but the bullet fell out of his head wound and landed swiftly on the ground with a ting. Naraku laughed and Kikyo gasped. The man wasted no time. Inuyasha lunged to protect his lover, but before he had a chance to defend her, Naraku plastered her with a .45 caliber handgun. Inuyasha's face soured as it all happened in slow motion. Kikyo's ebony hair rounded her well figured body and her arms flared out as her chest flared forward. The wound punctured her left breast and she fell. Her eyes where wide open as Inuyasha caught her. She was cold, and he knew she was leaving him.
"I'm sorry love," she whispered.
"No, I'm sorry," Inuyasha hissed as he hid his pain.
Naraku laughed as he fled from the scene. Miroku rushing to Inuyasha. Kikyo smiled and took his hand.
"You have to live on Inuyasha," her body heaved as she took short, ragged breaths.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak, but Kikyo silenced him with a chaste kiss. Her eyes closed as a smile slid upon her face.
"I love you Inu..." the rest died on her lips.
"How was I suppose to know?"
Don't let him get to you Higurashi.
"Let me out of this so I can rip you to shreds for ever implying such an inconsiderate thing," he snapped.
I could tell he wasn't kidding.
Damn it! do something Kagome!
I made my way around the room and opened the drawer. A handgun rested in the pocket.
Yeah, that'll help me.
I felt a hand grasp my wrist.
"Stupid wench," his breath hot on my neck. "I'm not so easily contained."
His lips found my neck a kiss was placed in that spot.
"Damn you," I hissed as I melted under the touch.
"You're so easy," he snickered.
I caught my senses and flipped the bastard over me, "No, I'm not so easily fooled."
He glared at me before the door opened startling us both.
Review this chapter. I actually am interested in this story. Let me know what you think.
