Hello! I want to thank Soul Hunt for his/her idea that actually helped me figure out what I wanted to do with Kagome's muteness :P
anyways ON WITH THE STORY
oh but first that stupid thing so I don't get sued...DISCLAIMER: I dont own Inuyasha!
Kagome woke up the next morning wrapped in a comfortable silk pool, sunlight streaming through a crack in the curtains over one of the many windows in the room, she blinked and looked at the clock on the nightstand, then proceeded to fall from the bed in shock.
Inuyasha was sorting through mission reports in his office when his sensitive ears picked up a low thump from somewhere above him, He instantly typed in his passcode and darted towards his hidden elevator. Once her was upstairs he looked around frantically before darting to his bedroom and throwing open the door, "KAGOME!" He caught a glimpse of Purple beads and white fang from the corner of his eye and turned his gaze to his nightstand, Kagome's feet where still on the bed, her right hand raised showing him the alarm clock, her bracelet glittering in the sunlight. He raised an eyebrow and walked over to her. he froze in his spot when her saw her, one arm thrown over her forehead, black hair sprawled around his silk sheets, face flushed, long legs resting half on half off his bed, and her tank top ridding up so far he could see the underside of her breasts. He felt a sudden wave of shame at the fact he had to remind him self repeatedly that the mute girl covered in bandages that had just fallen off his bed was not and erotic sight and that he wasn't attracted to this girl. He forced his gaze from the rise and fall of her chest to the alarm clock in her hand, "what?" She glared at him and wiggled into a sitting position - much to Inuyasha's relief - before pointing at the time, it read 2:30PM he looked from the alarm clock back to Kagome, "okay its 2:30 so what"
Kagome threw the clock at him in response and tried to pull herself up.
Inuyasha sighed, "wench you aren't supposed to strain yourself." He walked over to her, picked her up and placed her into her wheelchair, "so wheres your panel?"
He huffed and pointed to the nightstand, He swiftly picked it up and handed it to her, she instantly began typing: why the bloody fuck didn't you wake me up?
"doctor said you need rest so I gave it to you."
I have never slept so much in my entire fucking life!
Inuyasha gave her a pointed look, "what do you call that ten day coma then"
That was different asshole it was a COMA!
Inuyasha shrugged, "you want breakfast?"
Kagome glared at him: Its not breakfast at 2:30
"Fine whatever you wanna eat or not?"
Kagome nodded and started to wheel towards the elevator, when they got down to Inuyashas office he stopped her before she reached the door she gave him a weird look: what now?
"I had my number and Sango's installed in your Panel so you can contact us if you need anything but everyones out on missions right now so its just me."
Your being oddly nice.
He smirked, "the sooner your better the sooner you can work."
Kagome nodded and left the office. she went down to the dining hall to see who was on Kitchen duty she found a large demon woman with solid black eyes, when the women looked up at her she raised her tablet: got any grub?
The women nodded and started rummaging around the Kitchen when her sandpapery voice echoed in the hall, "sandwich work for you?"
Kagome was mildy surprised the women had offered to make her something but nodded anyways: sure.
The women looked at her and frowned as she worked, "It true you got that way blowing up a building in an attempt to kill West Kingdoms leader?"
Kagome switched the voice on her tablet on so the women wouldn't have to work and look up every five seconds, "yep."
"It also true you used to lead the Shikon Rebels?"
"yeeeepppp."
The Women made eye contact with Kagome the for the first time since they met, "Then wouldn't a smart girl like you know the odds of making out of that building when you decided to blow it up the way you did?"
Kagome paused for a moment, "your the first to figure that out congrats. and as for the odds, there where none. there was no way in hell I was making it out of that building. the bomb's where set of purposefully on the idea of Inuyasha being closer to the edge then Fluffy, giving boss barley enough time to get off but not the enemy."
"It was your first mission why take the risk?"
"we where out numbered and Inuyasha was injured he was slower than usual, I doubt he would admit it if anyone asked, but Im good at reading people its how Ive survived for so long. point being, I saw an opportunity to rid this war of a major player, save a few of our mens lives, and possibly keep or boss from losing an arm or a leg maybe even his life."
The women nodded, "but why do it at all if you didn't want to be one of us?"
Kagome's response was unexpected, she looked at the camera raised her right wrist and kissed her bracelet, "is that enough of an answer for you boss?"
The cooks eyes widened, "how did you-"
"know? well no one knows I didn't want to join except me, the boss, and his top six. like you said I'm a smart girl. I know he's listening and watching, he may be slow but not completely stupid, he had over a week to wonder why I did what I did."
The women gave a low laugh, "the names Nora kid your welcome in my kitchen. anytime heres your sandwich. now run along and get back on your feet. The Blood Hounds need a girl like you." she leaned in and whispered into Kagome's ear, "Im sure Inuyasha could use a girl like you in his life too if you know what I mean."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "ew. never."
Nora laughed, "whatever you say kid but listen good Nora knows all, and think will yah he must of spent millions putting you back together, have you asked yourself why?"
"Im useful. Im not only a good fighter but provide connections and outside input."
Nora just raised an eyebrow, "sure honey true but as I said Nora knows all. run along now I have work to do."
Kagome nodded and took her sandwich before wheeling off back to Inuyasha's office, when she reached her destination she wheeled up to his desk and turned off her Panels voice and typed again: get the answers you wanted? you could have just asked you know.
He scanned her message and sighed, "If I had even started to ask you, you would have given me a smart ass answer and never replied again I figured a curious cook would be easier. and what was with the kiss thing?"
True my answer would have probably been rude but I figured you would ask eventually anyways. and as for the kiss thing, you tell me.
He glared at her and ran a hand through his hair, "I have no Idea what it meant but Im guessing your not going to tell me."
I honestly dont even know myself...Im bored.
He looked at her like she had grown a second head, "you just got up and had a sandwich you haven't been up long enough to be bored!"
But I would usually be doing laps or jumping around buildings by now...I like to keep busy. it bothers me to feel useless
"fine how about you watch over new recruit's and help place them?"
Sure what do I need to do?
"Have them do an obstacle course a few fighting thing assess how you think their strengths are and then have them fight each other."
Cool I get to watch them beat the shit out of each other and then control their fate :)
"Im beginning to re-consider this."
Don't. I wont kill them probably, We rank 5-1 one being the highest right?
"yeah one is if you think they should be ranked up with me, Miroku, Kouga, Sango, and the others if you think you find a one call me."
what if they are like Shippo?
"thats why you read their files."
okay just let me get changed.
"whats wrong with what you have on now?"
I'm wearing a thin tank top and no bra.
"true." he typed in the code and waited for Kagome to come back...wearing her super short yoga shorts and a sports bra, "and how is that get up better?"
this is for working out duh.
Inuyasha shook his head and tied on his bandana, "C'mon lets go, I have to introduce you and myself before I can go back to work." Kagome nodded and followed Inuyasha down to the training room where they had first fought, there was about 20 people there not including one member who was currently talking to the group, Kagome recognized him from her mission a little over a week prior. when he noticed them He smiled at her quickly much to her surprise and stepped down. Inuyasha Imediatly took his place, "okay! so Im Inuyasha, your new boss got it?"
The group nodded
"good makes my life fucking easy if you have any questions ask the member giving you assessments okay? Kagome get your ass up her."
Kagome rolled her eyes and switched her panels voice on before wheeling up to Inuyasha, almost every new recruits eyes widened at the sight of her and she smirked, "way to make a speech boss."
the new recruits gasped at the sound of the robotic voice and Kagome's response towards their new boss, Inuyasha chose to ignore it as Kagome was, "feh. you know I have shit to do. anyways. this is Kagome, she will be assessing you, bye."
Inuyasha handed her their files and walked over to the man from earlier to talk what Kagome assumed as business. She rolled her eyes and turned to the group, which she noticed was all male, must be hard to get into a huge gang as a women, she brushed of the thought and typed, "okay before we get started as boss said Im Kagome Ill be assessing you, any questions?"
one guy raised his hand and Kagome nodded towards him, "yeah...how did you get that way?"
Kagome blinked and started typing but before she could finish another new recruit spoke up, "Obviously the women was too week to handle something and got fucked up!"
A few men laughed but stopped at Inuyasha and the other demons growl, Kagome rolled her eyes and shot the two a look instantly shutting the two up and earning a sheepish grin from the man Inuyasha was talking to, Ren was his name is she recalled. "well maybe before I explain how I got this way I aught to tell you who I am, Have any of you heard of the Shikon Rebels?"
every man nodded.
"well good. Im Kagome Higurashi and I was their leader until a little over a week ago when I joined The Blood hounds, Ren hand me a Knife please, Oi smartass who called me weak stand by that wall over there like a good dipshit while I tell you all a story."
the two men did as they where told the second, more reluctantly than the first
Kagome started playing with one of the knifes she was handed and threw a smirk at Inuyasha who was leaning against the wall watching and grinning, she returned her gaze to see all the new recruits looking at him curiously, "well heres your story kiddies, I joined The Blood Hounds and quickly made Boss's top six into a top Seven so asswhipe who called me weak I wanna fight when Im better got that? lets see how long it sees for me to knock you on your ass...actually I bet I could now if you really wanna try me. anyways I got like this because on a mission I blew up a building with The boss of West Kingdom on it and successfully killed him or at least impaired him for quite some time, I knew I would either die or be seriously injured like I am."
the men all stared all wide eyed and Inuyasha eyed the way Kagome was holding the knife suspiciously, the way she was twirling it against the light seemed oddly familiar only when he caught a glimpse at the cold look in her eyes as she raised the knife did he recognize why, shit, "DUDE GET THE FUCK OFF THAT WALL!" The man instantly reacted to his bosses command and the knife grazed the side of his face right by his eye, the rest of the room let out various startled sounds, the man cursed and cradled his face, Ren looked faintly surprised but inuyasha guessed he had recognized the look shortly after the knife was thrown. Inuyasha growled, "GOD DAMNIT KAGOME AM I GOING TO HAVE TO WARN EVERYONE ABOUT YOU?!"
Kagome looked at him, "probably, he did call me weak after all I wanted to see how well he could dodge..." with that she threw another knife In inuyasha direction which he dodged with ease, "see you have been good at it since the moment I met you. I assumed that if he considered me weak then he could handle at least that. I was unaware he was a pansy ass...I guess I should have read his file ne?"
Inuyasha couldn't help it, he laughed a little, "OKAY SO NEW RECRUITS I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS BUT THIS WOMEN RIGHT HERE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIGHT! AND SHE IS ONE OF MY TOP FIGHTERS, SHES ALSO A LUNATIC...SO DONT PISS HER OFF." he looked at Kagome, "don't kill anyone, your supposed to be recovering! you woke up from your coma yesterday and now your throwing knives at people, chill will yah?"
"just getting back on my feet boss." Inuyasha rolled his eyes before leaving the room, once he was gone Kagome turned back to the group of new recruits, noticing the one who had questioned her had obtained a bandage, "anymore questions?"
one guy bravely raised his hand, "yeah, will you go out with me? your really hot."
Kagome blinked at him, "I don't think anyone has ever called me hot before...thanks? but no relationships are something I despise." the guy grinned and said it was worth a shot and he meant it when he said she was hot. Kagome smirked, "okay guys warm up while I read your files. then Ill personally asses your abilities okay?" the men nodded and immediately did as they where told she scanned through the files and picked out a few she found interesting to go first when she had read them through she called them into the glass room one by one to asses their abilities, by the time that was finished she noticed a few of the men starring at her curiously, "what?"
one brave man spoke up, "well we aren't doubting you or nothing but we where wondering how you got so highly ranked so fast we heard very few if any people get up there right of the bat."
"simple. I Impressed Inuyasha."
she was met with a chorus of 'how's'
"I dont know ask him, it could have been when I tried to kill him the moment we met, or when he saw me murder to people and rob them after they had killed someone, oh or it could have been when I beat him in a fight using my quick thinking."
"HEY! you only fucking beat me because you cheated." Inuyasha threw a soda at her head which she instantly caught. "Damn doctor said you need to eat so I brought you food an here you are making me look weak."
"oh good Im hungry, and Im not making you look weak, I just analyzed the situation if we where going of strength you would have beat me easily I didn't cheat I won by strategy."
Inuyasha grunted and handed her her food, "how is flashing me strategy?"
Kagome didn't notice the new recruits jaws drop and eyes fly to her chest nor did notice inuyasha death glare at all their heads, "it distracted you didn't it?"
"I was not expecting that from a women like you."
"expect the unexpected. its on my rule list."
"you have a list?"
"yeah its in my diary."
Inuyasha looked at her as if she had grown a second head, "you have a diary?"
"Is that really so hard to believe?"
"yes."
Kagome looked at the new recruits only to find them nodding in agreement, one asked if she could share her list she looked at him like he was crazy, "no."
Inuyasha smirked, "but I wanna hear this."
She glared at him, "your going to make me even if I say no huh?"
"Oh yeah."
She shook her head, "fine ill tell you newbies what I think will be useful to you. ready?" they all nodded and Kagome began, "okay so first off I have this list memorized word for word, so don't ask if anything makes no sense to you. secondly Im only telling you three rules. lets start with rule number 4; don't suck at lying, you'll die then. Ruled number 7; failure is not an option, it could kill you. and last but not least the rule that got me here. rule number 19; If your find yourself captured by the enemy, mind fuck them. they will be less likely to kill you if you intrigue them."
silence. followed by the distinct sound of Inuyasha's palm hitting his face. he growled, "seriously?"
Kagome grinned, "hey it worked didn't it?"
Inuyasha shook his head and sat on the floor next to Kagome, "how long is that thing anyways?"
Kagome shrugged, "like 37 rules, I add onto it occasionally."
Inuyasha nodded and picked up Kagome's now empty food tray, before walking away, "finish up and get to bed soon its already ten and you need rest. that and I don't want to wait up for you for too long."
Kagome nodded and looked back at the recruits, who where staring up at her wide eyed. she raised a brow, "what?"
one of the scrawnier men answered, "y-your sleeping with the boss!"
Kagome choked on her soda and typed frantically, "oh ewwww god no! Im staying with him until im recovered so he can make sure recovery goes okay! the rest of his top seven are on missions so its not like they can help out!"
the men nodded, some a little disbelievingly and Kagome continued assessments by the time she had finished ranking everyone and sending them off to their assigned section rooms it was almost midnight, she made her way to Inuyasha's office. he looked up from his laptop when Kagome wheeled in, "you finished?"
"no I abandoned them all from boredom."
"your sarcasm doesn't have the same effect in a robotic voice."
Kagome rolled her eyes and Inuyasha typed in his code, the moment they where back on his floor, he went straight to his room for a shower and Kagome went to the Kitchen. when Inuyasha had finished his shower and was on his way out of the room he noticed a worn our pink book with a lock on it lying on the nightstand. He took a quick look around before swiftly walking over to the nightstand and opening the lock with a claw. He opened the book, a table of contents was on the first page by dates except one labeled 'rules.' it was in the back of the book. Inuyasha quickly flipped to the back and read it over:
1) alway's watch your own back, everyone else will suck at it I promise
2) never trust anyone, everyone lies
3) lie to everyone, they wont have anything against you then
4) dont suck at lying, you'll die then.
5) always have a back up plan. you'll need it eventually
6) make sure you never need your backup plan, if you do it means you already failed once.
7) failure is not an option. it could kill you
8) don't be afraid to kill your allies
9) theres no such thing as allies. people are selfish get over it.
10) never fall in love. its the worst type of ally and a weakness
11) If you fall in love, kill yourself it saves trouble.
12) Ignore rule number 11, you should always kill the other person
13) fresh water is Key to survival gather it when you can. (god that should have been rule # 1)
14) dont be afraid to die, everyone does it eventually.
15) Expect the unexpected
16) dont be predicable
17) hope the enemy doesn't live by rule number 15, if they do your fucked.
18) If you you have a problem and you cant hit it or blow it up its emotional, kill that part of you right away.
19) If your find yourself captured by the enemy, mind fuck them. they will be less likely to kill you if you intrigue them
20) If you capture the enemy, duct tape there mouth shut so they don't intrigue you. thats dangerous
21) avoid cameras, people who want to kill you will recognize you even if your not photogenic.
22) hide your gender! makes the enemy cautious.
23) Try not to kill boring prisoners before interrogation, you could lose information that way.
24) never stand directly below someone to drain their blood, even if your distracted by something else.
25) make the path to your home as confusing as possible.
26) never go home directly always go somewhere else first. just in case.
27) ovoid. creepy. neighbors.
28) scratch number 27 ovoid all men they're perv's
29) Knives are your friends, don't try new weapons unless you have to...
30) dont ignore rule 29, it ends badly
31) if there isn't a way out (or in) make one
32) Have Hojo watch that.
33) watch who you land on when you blow up a building it could be one of you biggest enemy's
34) dont leave people you know are a little...out there. in charge.
35) dont be too quick to jude the enemy unless you have to.
36) Inuyasha might not be so bad, try to be nicer to him
37) break into Inuyasha's private study every chance you get Its a nice place.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the list, okay so that was...very Kagome...what exactly is the thing she left that Hojo kid to watch. where is kagome anyways? she must have heard the shower turn off unless she no longer in the kitchen...His eyes widened, "shit number 37...KAGOME!" he darted down the hallway and into his private study...where Kagome was about to take the cloth that was covering last nights sketch off, "STOP!"
She froze and turned her head to him confused before holding up her panel: what?
"just don't touch that if you want to, look around a the other ones just this once. but NEVER touch that one even if you break in here again if you do Ill kill you."
Kagome just blinked and nodded her head, deciding to try for the covered artwork another time. after about an hour she decided to clock in and call it a day. she wheeled back to Inuyasha's room and fell asleep almost Instantly when she hit the bed, The covered work still on her mind.
Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief when Kagome left and looked back at his sketch, removing the cloth. "damn it why did I even draw this?" Inuyasha raised his claws to destroy it but couldn't find the courage or even the will to do so...every time he looked at it he grew weak again. with one last growl he covered it up and headed off to the couch to sleep. he would decide where to hide the damn sketch from Kagome in the morning.
there you people go! have fun thinking about what the hell that is and what inuyasha drew. I'm sure someone has already figured it out Im not that creative. just fucking with yall I hope none of you know and I doubt you do. yay me. what hojos guarding is easier to figure out though...im almost ashamed at how un creative that one was...
