OKAY! so good news is my old frequent updates should be starting up again soon! since shit is starting to settle down.
DISCLAIMER: I have no ownership over Inuyasha or its characters.
random thought: am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious if Kagome put a dog collar on Inuyasha and tied him to a street lamp as revenge for being a bad dog before walking of and ditching him completely? (just picture his face for a second...hehe)
Kagome couldn't sleep that night, It was her night on the couch and every time she closed her eyes she was met with a pair of golden pools. She didn't even have the heart to argue with him over the sketch of her eyes anymore, nor could she bring herself to go back into his private study. She knew it was ridiculous, he kept the damn thing covered at all times anyways, it was just the thought of it haunted her. she furrowed her brows, why does he keep it covered anyways? she shook the thoughts away and sighed before grabbing the phone Inuyasha had given her and checking the time, It was 2:30 AM. She sighed before clicking on the text button Shippo had tried to teach her how to use, she still barely understood it. She frowned at it before carefully selecting Sango's number, figuring she was the closest thing she had to a friend, and slowly typed out the words: Hey, are you awake?
she almost instantly got a reply: yeah just got back from a mission, u know u can shorten words right? anyways whats up something wrong?
Kagome sighed and one again began the difficult task of texting: not wrong really...just a little upsetting
Inuyasha ne?
yeah.
what he do 2 u?
nothing really.
mmkay whats the something on the other end of that 'really'?
Its nothing.
...Kagome we r friends c'mon spit it out.
Sango, have you ever been kissed?
Sango who was walking down the hall to her room, froze momentarily at the text before running off to find Rin, tapping away her reply as she did so: yes. and honestly? a lot more than that.
Oh...what did you feel when you know..
Sango banged on Rins door and was met a few seconds later by an angry Rin, she walked into the room and plopped down on Rins bed, "I think Boss kissed Kagome." She showed Rin the texts and received a wide eyed look from the girl, she ignored it in favor of responding: had sex? or kissed? Rins with me now btw.
..btw?
Sango and Rin giggled at Kagome's lack of knowledge of modern slang before shooting her back a reply: 'by the way.'
oh...well kissed. I can only imagine how horrible sex is. men are gross.
Rin couldn't help herself she snatched the phone from Sango: Soooo...did Boss kiss u?!
Kagome starred at her phone like it had grown a second head, "how did she know?" she glared at it for a second, she hated technology it was confusing and gave up secrets too easily. She always thought blowing things up and light signals where much easier and more convenient, she admitted it had its perks but to her it was otherwise a complete waste of time and money. She glared at her phone one more time before responding: no.
The two girls on the other side of the building looked at each other knowingly: then y say boss was ur prob then talk about kissing?
I didn't wan't to about my issues with Scruffy.
K...but y change the topic 2 kissing?
Kagome froze, realizing she had just screwed herself over, okay Kagome THINK why would a normal girl bring ups something like kissing...oh yeah DUH! She smiled at her quick thinking and replied: because I like someone.
The reply came faster than any bullet Kagome had ever seen: OH MY GOD U LIKE THE BOSS?! NO WAY WE COULD HAVE SWORN U HATED HIM OH MY GOD U 2 LOOK SOOOO GOOD 2GETHER IM SOOOO ROOTING 4 U! I TOTALLY TOLD SANGO THIS WOULD HAPPEN, SURE SHE AGREED BUT I SAID IT FIRST!
The two girls who had been doing what Rin calls their 'love love dance' where interrupted by the loud beep of Sango's phone: NO! EW! FUCK! GROSS! I HATE THAT BASTARD! I LIKE SOMEONE ELSE!
ohh really? :( who?
secret.
awwww tell us.
goodnight.Kagome turned of her phone and flopped down on the couch falling asleep almost instantly.
In a room on the other side of the massive penthouse, Inuyasha lay in his bed completely awake and pissed off. the who fucking room smells like the fucking wench. he looked over to his nightstand hoping to find a distraction but was met with the sight of Kagome's diary. a lot has been bugging me about that bitch lately, I let down my guard hopeing to see all her cards but she hasn't budged. she has to be hiding something maybe its in there. without another thought he grabbed it from the desk and flipped it open to a random entry.
April 12.
Dear diary,
Today I turned sixteen. It has been a year since I started school in this war zone and a year since I started the Shikon Rebels. Thus far things have gone smoothly, the people are loyal and hard working, just as I had assumed. they will make great use for my plan's. Although I must admit I am starting to grow a soft spot for my fellow members of the student council I fear I am beginning to trust them. that is a direct violation of rule numbers one and two, I need to be careful. If I start to get to close I will have to kill them. Other than that things are beginning to fall into place I have confidence that this war will be ended by my hands. even if millions must die for it, its a means to an end. I will not and cannot let this war continue. They trust that they are in good hands that I am a good person. they really where the perfect people to pick.
-Kagome H.
Inuyasha looked at the entry in shock, the Kagome who wrote this entry seemed so cold and distant. It reminded him of the look Kagome wore before she killed her old friend Yuka. well she called her an old friend anyways...here it seems she was ready to kill any of them in the blink of an eye. He frowned at the book and flipped to another entry deeper in.
March 8.
Dear diary,
The mark of another year is approaching fast. I never saw this coming, things have not gone according to plan. I find myself relying on the council more often and spending excessive amounts of un needed time with them. I am also visiting our injured, no longer out of duty but from what I think may be worry. I let them see my less serious side more often now. They seem to enjoy my sarcasm and quick remarks. its beginning to feel odd being so formal and cold to anything now. I think they are bringing out a fire I thought I had lost a long time ago. Most importantly though is that today for the first time in years, I laughed. it was an odd feeling but it seemed to feel right. Im worried though, just yesterday someone was snooping around about the thing I found my first year here. I was surprised they came after all this time. Im glad I keep my secrets well hidden
-Kagome.
Inuyasha tried to picture an un laughing, un sarcastic Kagome. once again the closest thing he thought to it was the way she was with Yuka. He could easily picture her visiting her men though, it was hard to imagine her not caring about them to at least that extent. but none of this was helping him learn anything only that whatever 'that' was. she had found it her first year in the war zone. he growled and flipped to an earlier entry, hoping for the right one.
January 23.
Dear diary,
I can't figure out what to do with the object I stole yesterday. it looked worth a lot from a distance but up close its worthless garbage. I don't understand why that demon had it. it It took me an hour to kill it and I ended up with no profit. Ill keep it for now. he put up quite the struggle for it maybe its worth something to someone. or maybe I don't really understand its true value I have never know a demon to carry a worthless object. in a few days I start High School here, I hope these students will show more promise than the last, I cant keep moving around. Im getting older, more likely to be noticed and killing a demon my first day here was probably a mistake.
- Kagome Higurashi
Inuyasha snarled at the book, and flipped through it more, Not a single entry mentioned what that object was. the only thing I fucking learned was that she became less formal with her diary over the years! what the hell is she hiding?! His head snapped up at the sound of extra pressure being applied to his water bed, he had been so busy being pissed off at the diary he didn't even notice Kagome walk in. she was standing on his bed looking down at him, she looked pissed. He looked from her diary to her, "well this I can actually explain."
She glared at him before dropping on to the bed and looking at the book, "You can explain after you tell me what you learned."
He didnt hesitate knowing she would find fault in him if he did, "you used to be a lot colder, you where planning on letting your rebels die for their cause if necessary. you where prepared to kill Hobo and your friends. you didn't care about any of them. but they somehow changed that. You love them a lot more than you let on even now. and you killed a demon for some mysterious object you where clearly to clever to mention in your diary."
She pursed her lips, "its Hojo. is that all you learned? you sure where snarling a lot in here I thought you where killing things without me."
He blinked, "I wanted to know what that is...what else is in here you would look ready to murder me over?"
She snatched the diary from his hands, "stuff. anyways you read my diary for a mysterious object? why the fuck didn't you just ask?"
"Because you wouldn't have answered."
"true." She was rising from the bed taking her diary with her, prepared to let the whole thing go seeing as he didn't learn anything when the alarm went off and Inuyashas phone began ringing, she looked at him in shock, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"
He glared at her, "ITS ALARM S.R.!"
She froze at the name of the alarm confused, and then the name clicked in her memory. it was the only alarm not numbered, it was also part of the deal. this was a distress signal from Shikon Rebels. She glanced at Inuyasha who was cursing at his phone before running down the hall. Her Rebels where in trouble, enough trouble to call on Inuyasha and his gang for help. When she was dressed she turned on her phone and looked at the text bother and Inuyasha got: Attack on Shikon Rebels. Location; War Zone 66. attack made by West Kingdom.
She practically screamed in rage before she ran from Inuyasha's apartment and down to the garage. she took the fastest thing she could find, Inuyasha's shiny red convertible. She sent a quick, silent, thank you to him for leaving the keys in the glovebox in all his private cars before she sped off.
Inuyasha dressed and ran from his room, calling his top six to tell them the location they where to bring their individual teams for the battle. when he hung up he rushed to the living room, growling to see it was empty, "KAGOME! WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO?!" Snarling at the lack of reply he rushed down to his garage figuring the woman had go ahead like an idiot. He froze at the lack of movement from his top six and men in the garage. They where all staring at an empty parking space, the empty parking space where his favorite car used to be. He yelled at them to all get their asses going and waited until they left to get into a different car and speed off. growling about stupid wenches and swearing as he sped down the almost empty streets of early morning tokyo.
It didn't take him nearly as long as usual to reach the war zone as it normally would have, the second he passed into the wasteland he spotted his car, the red sparkling in the early morning light, the drivers side door still open. He growled at ran from roof to roof towards the sounds of battle, keeping an eye out for the raven haired fighter as he went. all he saw was stray weapons, bullet shells, blood, and the occasional body, most of them unidentifiable. whatever had happened here was bad, even by his standards. A sudden pang of worry hit his stomach when he remember his empty red convertible. The closer he got to the sound of battle the more blood and bodies he saw, some of them he could tell, although they where mauled beyond recognition, where barley over fifteen. He picked up the pace and froze when he saw the true extent to the fight, He was standing by the water tower and from where he was the streets seemed to run with blood. the cement that was once a dirty grey was now a deep red, bodies where littered everywhere, some even on the cold metal balconies, one was even handing limply from a streetlamp. He looked up as he heard a shrill battle cry and sucked in his breath. Kagome stood on top of the tower, flinging knives and shooting arrows off from a crossbow she must have found along the way. She looked wild, untamed and strangely beautiful standing there clad in her rebel gear, covered in blood. She looked down at him, Angry Sapphires met with curious flames. She motioned for him to come up to her, he did. The moment He hit the top of the water tower she shouted over the noise of battle, "TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH SCRUFFY!"
He ignored the nickname and glanced at the battle before focusing on her bloody, confident form. "WHATS GOING ON?!"
She looked at him the anger in her eyes temporarily replaced by excitement, "THE BEST DAMN FIGHT OF MY LIFE!" She laughed at jumped from the tower into the mass of blood covered fighting bodies.
Inuyasha looked around for any sign of his brother but found none. His head snapped at movement of silvery white to his right, He looked of in that direction expecting to find his brother but was met with a sight that always brought him more rage than anything. "NARAKU!"
He hadn't even realized he shouted it until his brother was beside him sword drawn, starring down the man in the baboon suit just as Inuyasha was and Kagome jumped to his other, Pure rage filled her as she took in the strange man. "Thats the leader of the spiders?"
Inuyasha faintly registered both Kagome and Sesshomaru calling of their men, he was surprised when he found himself doing the same. eerie silence filled the streets as the three leaders once at war stood on top of the water tower and stared down their common enemy. Sesshomaru answered Kagome's question still floating through the ear, "Yes young human that is Naraku, leader of The Spiders. That much should have been obvious to even your tiny brain at the half breeds shouting,"
Kagome snorted, "jeez if I had known he was like that I would have just gone hunting In all of Tokyo's finest gay bar's! Seriously why are all my enemies freaks?! he's wearing a fucking Baboon skin dress!" Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both looked at Kagome with matching expressions of seriousness and cold boredom. she looked at then both and laughed, "yep I can see the family resemblance...BYE!"
Before Inuyasha could stop her she ran off, charging at Naruku, knife in hand. Sesshomaru looked at his brother blankly, "does that human always do such things?"
He smirked as Kagome reached Naruku and flung her knife at him, "Yeah she does. every single time." He laughed a little as she started screaming at Naruku for dodging her knife, Inuyasha picked up a phrase that sounded an awful lot like 'monkey fucking bastard.' He shook his head, "HEY KAGOME GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE! YOU APPROACH OF CHARGE AND MURDER NEVER WORKS!"
Kagome screamed at Naraku before running back to Inuyasha, "OI SCRUFFY, FLUFFY! WHY WONT THE CONFUSED TRANSVESTITE SPIDER MONKEY FIGHT ME?!"
Inuyasha laughed, "its a baboon."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "no he's the leader of The Spiders and he's wearing a monkey dress. Therefore he is a confused transvestite spider monkey. can we kill him?"
She looked hopefully between the brothers causing Inuyasha to look at her like she had grown a second head, "you mean work together to kill him? no fuck no!"
She glared at him and looked to Sesshomaru who stared at her cooly, "I refuse to work with a half breed and mentally ill human girl."
Kagome practically growled at the two stubborn men in front of her before turning to the crowed, "OI LISTEN UP MORONS! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO FUCKING KILL EVERY DAMN SPIDER BASTARD YOU SEE AND HELP ME FUCKING DESTROY NARAKU OR YOU ALL FUCKING DIE! GOT IT?!" The crowed looked at her blankly as her rebels joined her on the rooftops and she pulled out a small square box with a bright blue button. she pulled down her bandana and looked around, inuyasha noticed the cold unfeeling look in her eyes and instantly knew one way or another someone was going to die, her huge toothy grin reminded him of a deranged animal hunting its prey her cold calculating eye's not giving away any emotion. she looked deadly and indifferent as she spoke, "okay fine ill just blow you all to bits then."
Instant action, thats the only way anyone could describe what happened next, everyone who had been fighting before, both human and demon where swarming towards Naraku. Kagome returned to her place next to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru who was watching with his eyes slightly narrowed, "Impressive human."
She looked back at him with an equally cold look, "people should learn not to make me serious. they wont like me when I'm serious."
The tone of her voice had both men stepping back slightly, the air around her seemed to turn to Ice as she walked off, leaving everyone to finish the fight without her.
A few hours later.
Inuyasha and his top six where In the training room working off steam from the previous loss, no one had said a word since Naraku had turned out to be a decoy doll and Kagome had yet to return. Kouga looked around at the silent Blood Hound members, "Uh..do you guys think Kagome is okay?"
Shippo who was sitting In a corning watching Inuyasha beat the crap out of electronically made enemies looked away as another hologram flashed out, "I hope so..I like Kagome."
Sango and Rin nodded in agreement, Miroku looked at the two crestfallen girls and sighed, "Miss Kagome is a lovely girl and an excellent fighter Im sure she's okay, but for now the best we can do is hope for her safety."
Kikyo who had been silent until now rolled her eyes and calmly spoke, "it was he own choice to run off, if she dies so be it."
before anyone could say another word, Kikyo was slammed against the wall by Inuyasha, "Listen bitch. you have been over stepping your bounds for way to long, Miko or not you are a one hundred precent replaceable, incompetent, weak, slut." He growled lowly at her, "I think its about time you learned how replaceable you really are, Im re ranking you. you will know you new position tomorrow morning."
He let go of her and walked back to his exercise, she looked at him wide eyed, "but Kagome has been tramping around here doing as she wished since the moment she came here. she has not once respected you or your wishes."
Inuyasha thought back to the times he had spent with Kagome in his apartment and her usual blatant disregard of what he wanted. he thought of her rant's and their deals they made to keep each other in check. He remembered the few times Kagome had shown respect towards him and how even if she did it in her own way, she listened to his orders when they truly mattered and even gave her input on how some things should be run. He glared at Kikyo then, "This is exactly what Im talking about Kikyo, you don't even realize this do you? Kagome is your superior, and in many ways she is my equal. the forces she leads could put up quite a fight and possibly destroy us if they played their cards correctly. the women has built up a massive force in a period of four years, she listens when it matters, thats all thats required of her."
Everyone looked at him in shock, not a single person had ever heard Inuyasha talk so highly of another person. Kikyo's face was passive but anger sparked behind her eyes as she placed a hand on his chest, "But Inuyasha-"
He ripped her hand from her like it burned, "Im your boss Kikyo not your friend and not your lover."
he jaw tightened as she stepped back, "but boss she came her because she was to weak to face you and win, she's her because-"
"BULL-FUCKING-SHIT! BITCH IF YOU THINK THATS WHY IM HERE YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT!" She looked at Kikyo disgusted, "god I walk in here to hear you call me weak, what a joy! listen Kikyo, me and Inuyasha have a deal. you don't need to know what our deal is, you are in no way his equal all you need to do is accept it and listen to what your boss says. Right Scruffy?"
Inuyasha looked Kagome up and down, she was still covered in blood, but very little of it smelled like hers, she was carrying a guitar case on her back. it was covered in chains and padlocks, he raised a brow, "correct...Kagome, what is that?"
She smiled at him, "exactly. So what did I miss?"
Inuyasha starred at her confused along with Miroku and shippo, and Sango and Rin where too busy giggling at Kagome's nonchalant way of inserting herself back into their conversation after being gone for a few hours with no explanation, Kouga shook his head and looked at Kagome, "Well Naraku was nothing but a demon doll and Kikyo is getting demoted for over stepping her boundaries."
Kagome clucked her tongue, "well that sucks, I wish you luck Kikyo maybe you will learn something from this. Sango, Rin. I found some things girls normally do in a magazine and want to try them with you since we are...friends? come to the penthouse to night for movies and nail painting and a sleepover? thats what its called right?"
Sango and Rin looked at her blankly before running up and wrapping the blue-eyed girl in a bear hug, "AWE KAGOME!"
Kagome looked at the confused, "what?"
Sango laughed, "you are so cute! thank you for accepting to be our friend! we will see you tonight okay? Ill bring ice cream and we can make sundays."
Rin giggled, "oooh ill get the topping!"
The two girls released Kagome and smiled, Kagome smiled back, unused to all the attention. "Uh yeah...I'm making stir fry. Ive been learning from the chef so I would know how to cook something other than..well rat and pigeon. I want you two to try it first."
The two girls squealed and nodded in agreement. before telling Kagome to shower and going their separate ways to prepare for the night.
That night:
Inuyasha, to put it simply, was exhausted. He had spent the entire day issuing finial composition payment out to the families of the members who had died in that mornings battle and adjusting Kikyo's clearance and pay to fit her new position and couldn't wait to collapse on the couch at home with a cup of hot ramen, he had worked his way through dinner running around adjusting things and calling meetings. so when his secret elevators doors opened and the delicious sent of cooking meat, vegetables, and teriyaki sauce he nearly passed out from hunger. he quickly walked into the kitchen where three brunettes where chatting idly. as he walked in Sango and Rin turned to him waving hello and completing him on his house, he grunted in reply and walked up to Kagome who was flipping around meat and vegetables in a wok, looking oddly out of place in fluffy pajama bottoms and a tank top along with a frilly apron he assumed on of the other girls brought over. he was so used to seeing her yelling and fighting him over beer, seeing her smiling softly and cooking was weird, "Oi wench make an extra serving for me."
Kagome glared at him, "Im making this for us not you! didn't you already eat?"
"no I was working! and you made way to much for the three of you to eat anyways."
Kagome rolled her eyes and nudged him out of her way with her elbow, "fine but I cant cook so if it sucks and almost kills you, you cant complain. oh and get out of the kitchen I'm cooking. Rin! you brought sake right? heat it up and pour me some!" She smiled slightly as Rin laughed and said she would. almost as a second thought Kagome looked at Inuyasha, "oh and you can have your room tonight, we are going to sleep out here."
Inuyasha nodded and walked off to his room, glancing at the chained guitar case as he walked by, "Kagome what the hell is this that thing?"
Kagome laughed, "exactly!"
He growled lowly, "that doesn't even make sense!" The three girls giggled when Kagome told him that it did make sense. he shook his head and walked off to his room.
ten minuets later Kagome knocked on Inuyasha's door, he answered in second, wearing nothing but a pair of sweats, his silver hair dripping with water, she held out a large plate of white rice and stir fry, a hot sake bottle balanced on it, "dinner." she handed him a small glass of sake, "its bad luck to pour your own first glass, you can come out with us but I think its supposed to get girly and you seem busy.
Inuyasha laughed lightly, "im not helping you get out of girl talk, like you said i'm busy. good luck women." She frowned at him, unhappy to have been defeated, before walking down the hall back to her sleepover. Inuyasha shut the door and sat on the bed, he turned on the t.v. and took the first bite of his food, his eyes almost rolled back into his head at the taste, "cant cook my ass." He was debating making her cooking a requirement if she was going to stay at his place when the news flashed to a picture of him and Kagome standing together on top of the water tower as that mornings battle went on below, the title read something about him and a mystery ally fighting against another gang, the second gang had yet to be determined but apparently everyone was much more interested in the women in the picture with him. the reported mentioned the supposed deal between The Blood Hounds and the Shikon Rebels she said that maybe the young looking girl in the photo was the leader of the rebels. The other reporter laughed it off. Inuyasha groaned knowing he would be getting a ton of calls by tomorrow morning if not sooner, he downed the rest of his meal in preparation for what was to come, there was no way he was getting sleep for a few days at least, and there was defiantly no way Kagome was going to be happy to find out that she was the center of Tokyo's attention. He growled as his phone rang picking it up and pressing the answer button angrily, "who are you and what the hell do you want?"
done! there be happy! ill update again soon I promise.
