Inuyasha floored his convertable as Sango and Miroku held on for their lives.

"Inuyasha, um, exactly where are we headed to?" Miroku yelled out as images blurred past his vision.

"Where do you think?" Inuyasha spat out. "I'm going to that damn address Kikyo left."

"No offense or anything Inuyasha, but don't you think we should wait for your brother before we fall into some kind of trap?" Sango offered.

"Keh."

Mioku leaned over. "No use trying to get any response out of him. He's on a mission." Sango nodded her head in understanding.

"You think Kagome's ok Miroku?" Sango whispered into Miroku's ear. The last thing she wanted was to upset the guy driving over 11 miles an hour.

Inuyasha's grip tightened on the wheel as he listened to Miroku and Sango's conversation. How could he have been so stupid? The wind flew past him, blowing his hair in every direction, but he paid it no attention. Inuyasha veered sharply to the left and sped up again. God only knows where the hell this place is. Just hold on Kagome, I'm coming.

"Ahhhhh!" Another vase smashed against the wall. "Dammit!" Kagome screamed. It had been almost half an hour since Kouga had left and she still couldn't find a way out of this ugly apartment. "Inuyasha." Kagome whimpered under her breath. She wasn't gonna cry again. She couldn't cry again. Not at a time like this.

Creak

Kagome jerked at the noise and looked up at her position on the floor. It was coming from the ceiling. "Gross, I bet its rats." Slowly Kagome made her way to where the noise was. Standing underneath the spot, a beam of light struck through the ceiling. Kagome's eyes widened at the sudden discovery. She must be at the top of the apartment building and this was a thatch that led to the roof. A thatch or some ceiling that was really moldy. Kagome looked around anxiously. She spotted a broom by the door. Grabbing it, she hurled it up at the spot in the ceiling. It broke with ease. "Yes!" Kagome smiled victoriously and used a chair to lift herself up out of the room. Standing on the roof, she saw over a not so very nice part of New York. Now there was only one problem. Where was this trap for Inuyasha set? Kagome looked around helplessly trying to find something that would give her some sign as to where Kikyo would be. It couldn't have been too far right?

Sesshomaru fiddled with his hands as he waited for the door to open.

Rin looked up from her work as she heard a soft knock on her office door. "Coming!"

Here she comes. What am I gonna say? Kagome's been kidnapped duh you idiot! Now focus brain! Sesshomaru watched as the door opened. Rin's face brightened when she saw who was in her doorway. "Hi Sessomaru."

Sesshomaru cleared his throat. "Hello Rin."

"Don't just stand there silly. Come on in!" Rin grabbed his arm and tugged him inside.

Sesshomaru visibly gulped at the contact he was making with her.

"So what brings the great Sesshomaru here?" Rin joked as she sat in her chair.

Sesshomaru pulled a nearby chair to him and sat down and began calmly. "We were at the awards ceremony tonight as you know. Inuyasha went up to get his award and when Kagome was announced to come up she wasn't there. Turns out Kikyo kidnapped her and is using her for ransom. She gave Inuyasha an address to make the trade at. Inuyasha wants to bust Kikyo tonight for what she did and we need your help to do that. Can you help?" Sesshomaru waited expectantly.

Rin's face had grown serious throughout the story. "Of course I'll help. I'll grab some of my best agents." Sesshomaru nodded. Rin got up to go to the phone, but was stopped by a firm hand.

"Rin?"

Rin grinned suggestively. "Sesshomaru."

"Thank you."

Rin smiled softly and squeezed his hand. "Your welcome."

Tires screeched to a halt as Inuyasha pulled up to the address. Jumping out of his car, Inuyasha made his way to the front of the large abandoned mansion in front of him. "This it Miroku?"

Miroku checked the paper. "Yep." Miroku hesitated. "Are you sure you're up for this Inuyasha? Just wait for the others to—"

"No Miroku!" Inuyasha grounded out between his face. "I have to do this now." Without another word Inuyasha walked up to the porch and broke open the rotting door. "Stay here guys. Guard the outside and wait for the others. I don't want any cops coming in unless they hear gunfire."

Miroku was about to protest, but Sango held him back. Miroku sighed. "Ok."

Inuyasha faced the broken door again and walked through quietly into the darkness.

Kagome looked over New York for the millionth time from the top of the apartment building. "Damn." Kagome walked over to the south side of the roof and looked into the mountains. "What the—" Kagome looked closer and spotted what looked like Inuyasha's car by the mountainside. They weren't far at all. 'That must be where Kikyo told them to meet her. Looks like the abandoned mansion that burned down awhile back.' Witohut hesitation Kagome headed down the fire escape and towards the old mansion.

"You think they could take any longer?" Kikyo clicked her heels against the ground in agitation. She'd been waiting for what seemed like forever. You'd think holding Inuyasha Takahashi's girlfriend as a hostage would get him to move faster.

"Hey."

Kikyo spun around startled. "Om my God! Don't ever sneak up on me again."

"Whatever." Kouga said emotionless. "She's awake."

"And why aren't you watching her you moron."

"It's not like she'll get out wench. Besides it's not like you could beat Inuyasha by yourself."

Kikyo glared with cold hard eyes. A gun appeared from inside her leather jacket.

"I think I can handle myself."

Kouga scoffed. "Suit yourself."

CRASH

Kouga and Kikyo turned at the noise. "Bring him to me. Kill whoever gets in your way."

Kouga smiled and was gone in the blink of an eye.

Inuyasha walked along the creaking floor carefully, trying not to give any noise away. The mansion smelled like burnt rubber and it was pitch black. His hanyou eyes could see around the vast area pretty well. 'I bet she's up on the second floor knowing Kikyo.' Inuyasha went in search of stairs.

Squeak.

Inuyasha whipped around and backed up quickly away from the noise, running into a large mirror behind him.

CRASH

"Shit!" Inuyasha cursed. 'Damn mice. That's one way to let the enemy know you're here.' His senses heightened. He couldn't waste time playing cat and mouse with Kikyo. He had to find Kagome. Inuyasha wandered through the mansion at a brisk pace. Finally he spotted something that looked like stairs. 'Bingo.' Inuyasha headed for it, but instantly was stopped by a flying fist headed in his direction. Inuyasha fell hard on the old wood floor.

"Shoulda known better Inuyasha. You think Kikyo doesn't have this place guarded?" Kouga chuckled. Inuyasha looked up from the ground and got up quickly. Inuyasha's features darkened as he recognized who it was. It was that guy. Kagome's ex. "What the hell. You're in on this too? She trusted you. I can't believe you'd do this to Kagome you son of bitch." Inuyasha yelled out in anger.

Kouga scowled at his comment. Closing the distance between the pair, Kouga spat right in his face. "She's not your bitch. After all of this is done with, she's gonna be with me. Where she belongs."

Inuyasha growled. He swung a right hook in Kouga's direction that landed right on target.

"You hit like a girl dog boy." Kouga swung his right foot for Inuyasha, which he easily caught, and flipped Kouga to the ground. Inuyasha grinded his foot into Kouga's head and stayed in that position. "Where is Kikyo?" Inuyasha yelled in disgust.

"I'm not telling you jack." Kouga growled from beneath Inuyasha's hold on him.

Inuyasha pressed harder on his head. "Tell me where she is or you'll die right here. And you better pray to God that Kagome is alright or else I'll have your neck."

"Bastard." Kouga choked out. "She's upstairs waiting for you, moron."

Inuyasha smirked with amusement. "Then I was right. Don't try to interrupt our little meeting ok?"

Inuyasha pulled back and swiftly kicked Kouga in the face, knocking him unconscious. Without a second look, Inuyasha dashed up the stairs. Amidst the ash and grime emerged what looked like an old ballroom. Light suddenly illuminated everything and Inuyasha saw a stage as well as a giant chandelier in the center of the ballroom. His foot steps echoed as he approached the stage. And on the stage stood the person Inuyasha Takahashi was looking for. Kikyo.

Kagome gasped for breath. In front of her was the old mansion. She was on the opposite side so she couldn't see Inuyasha's car or the front door, so she figured they must have gone in already. Kagome scanned for an opening and found a back door. Glancing up Kagome saw light coming from the second floor and what looked to be a large room. "Time to teach that bitch a lesson and find Inuyasha."

AN: Words can't describe how sorry I am that this chapter is almost three months late. Guess its been a mixture of writers block, summer, and laziness that's kept me from sitting down and writing this. I have band camp for a week starting Wednesday so I probably won't get the second part to this out until next Thursday. Thank you to everyone who is still keeping up with this story and reviewing! You guys are awesome! Click the button and review! ) Until next time…

Just wanted to note, if I haven't before, that Inuyasha and his family are the only demony people in this fic, everyone else is human.
