Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and swear on the bible that they shall all be returned to Rumiko Takahashi in one piece...well maybe in a few but anyway on with the show!
Kagome's POV
I reared my arm back and plunged the knife deep within the panther demon's belly before me and watched as its eyes rolled back in its head before it collapsed. I sprung forward and took out two more demons to my left as Ayame jumped above me and attacked the ones behind me.
We jumped back to the middle of the demon hoard and stood back to back as they circled around us. I peered at them through my mask as my hair whipped around me and tangled itself with Ayame's hair before settling down again.
"Ayame go. Get out of here while you can," I told her as another demon came at me. I jumped away and cut its arm off while pushing my miko's powers into my blade. It let out an inhumane screech before collapsing and disintegrating at my feet.
"What? No way! I am not going to leave you Kagome!" she shouted back at me as more demons came at us. We were slowly being over powered and I turned towards her and glared. I grasped her shoulders in my hands and shook her roughly.
"Look, there are too many for us to handle. One of us can at least make it out alive, ne?" I said and pushed her away. "Go and run while I create a distraction okay?"
She looked at me with tears in her eyes and opened her mouth to protest but stopped when I gave her a hard glare again. She bit her bottom lip and looked away before sprinting and jumping above the demons to get away.
Some turned and prepared to follow her but I stopped them by whipping out my smoke bombs and throwing them behind Ayame cutting her off from the battle.
"Hey boys remember me?" I asked as they all turned to look at me. They licked their lips and I smiled before springing forward again and slaying as many demons as I could. If these fuckers thought I was easy game I was going to show them that they were sadly mistaken.
As the battle waged on, I began to tire and the demons noticed this quickly. Another demon came at me from my right and I thrust my leg out kicking it square in the jaw before leaping onto my hands and twirling around in a hand stand kick that Sango had taught me. I watched as the close ring of demons around me faded from my purification powers and grinned.
Just then, the ground shook and my eyes widened as a flashing, yellow light made its way towards me and the demons. I pushed myself up and out of the way and soared in the air as the light hit the demons and obliterated them. Suddenly, the blast exploded and I was slammed into a building and thrown to the ground.
I shut my eyes and forced my body against the cement as the wind whipped around ferociously and the buildings creaked and ground, threatening to collapse. When it was all over, I opened my eyes and looked up to see who had made the attack and felt my eyes widen as a figure made its way through the smoke and debris.
It was Inuyasha Takahashi. His long white, silver hair flowed behind him like a cape. At the top of his head were two cute, little dog ears and I frowned, slightly, as a memory threatened to make itself known. Upon his shoulder was a large sword that resembled a fang and he wore only black, ripped jeans. His chest was toned and muscular and I watched as he sniffed the air before jumping and landing in front of me.
Startled, I sprang up onto my feet in a back flip and backed away from him to gain some distance. His gold eyes met mine and I flinched, slightly, at the vacancy they held.
"Ahh," he said as he tapped the sword against his shoulder, "so you're part of that shithole they call the Rebellion are you not?"
I glared at him as I reached for a new weapon in my belt considering I had dropped my knife during the blast. Before I could even pull the weapon out, Inuyasha was in front of me.
I gasped and tried to back away, but was too slow and received a kick to the stomach. Before I could regain my posture he thrust his fist into my chin and knocked me to the ground.
I struggled to sit up and licked my lip from under my mask tasting blood.
"Ha you're pretty good…for a half demon," I taunted. His face scrunched out in anger and I watched as he plunged the sword into the ground and came at me again twice as fast.
I did my best to block the blows and panted as struggled to keep up with him. Every once in a while he would catch me off guard and slam me into the ground knocking the wind out of me. Finally, I stayed down as he grabbed me by the neck and thrust me into the wall. I choked as I felt my vision become blurry and collapsed when he released me.
He chuckled lightly and knelt down by my side and spit in my face. I grunted and snarled at him, but stayed down knowing I was not going to get away.
"Haha I knew it. You dumb asses are all talk, but when it comes down to the real fighting you're just a bunch of pussies. I'll take you back to the castle where you can be one of my slaves. Breaking you shall be fun," he told me before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. He walked back over to his sword and I watched as it shrunk down to an old rusty piece of shit as he sheathed it and placed it back on his hip.
As Inuyasha rambled on about how much of an idiot I was, I smiled and chuckled to myself on the inside. Everything had gone exactly according to plan.
Flashback
"Kagome," I heard Sango call out as I did another kick to the dummy in front of me. I ignored her and kept pressing forward pretending that it was really Inuyasha's head. Unexpectedly, I felt my miko powers spike and lunged taking the dummies head off in one stroke.
I heard Sango sigh as she walked over and picked the dummies head up.
"I really wish you would stop destroying these. It takes a long time to fix them so everyone else can practice," she scolded as she placed it next to the dummies body. I sighed and thanked her as she handed me a towel to wipe the sweat off my brow.
My dark, black hair clung to the back of my neck and I wiped the cool cloth on the back of my neck sighing in relief. I moaned as she began to talk about how I shouldn't take my energy out by breaking the dummies like I did every time I was angry.
"Yeah, yeah Sango I get it," I snapped and threw the towel to the ground before walking away from the training room and back towards the kitchen. In there, I ran into Miroku who was just pulling out a piece of meat from the fridge.
"Hey there, how'd training go?" he asked before slamming the fridge shut. I glared at him and moved around him to head out of the kitchen when he said,
"I guess someone doesn't want to hear the new mission plans I assume?"
I stopped and turned back towards him and crossed my arms over my bare stomach. My black sports bra was dripping in sweat and my yoga pants clung to my hips shaping out my toned and lean figure. I noticed Miroku staring and made way to punch him when Sango appeared and beat me to it.
"Oh for fucking sakes can you quit ogling the girl! And put a damn shirt on, nobody wants to see your fat ass walking around in only those nasty fucking boxers!" she said and smacked him across the face. I sighed as they began to bicker again and made a move to leave when Miroku called out to me again.
"Seriously Kagome, Keade just came up with a plan we think might work. It's called: The Nightingale," he said while nodding his head like it all made sense. I gawked at him and asked,
"Why the hell is it named that?"
He smiled his lecherous smile and walked up to me. He then pressed his finger against my nose and said,
"Because we all call you the Nightingale and this mission revolves all around you my little bird. It's simple really. We are going to have you get captured! What other way to infiltrate the Takahashi clan then to have you—oof!"
Sango took that moment to punch him in the head and he turned to confront her when he saw anger dancing in her eyes. He screamed like a girl and ran behind me and I moved out of the way before Sango lunged and began choking him.
"Why the hell would we let her do that!? Do you know how insane this is and Kagome's feelings towards—" I gasped and smacked my hand across Sango's mouth before she could finish.
"Miroku, I think the plan is wonderful. Brief me when I get back after my shower okay?" I said and pulled Sango along with me down to our room.
End Flashback
I smiled and watched as the city became farther away as Inuyasha hauled me along to the Takahashi building. We stopped in front of the iron gates that blocked off the building from everyone else. The Takahashi tower was surrounded by demon guards both on the ground and within the actual building. They had a sensor alarm placed 100 feet in from the gates to warn them of intruders and surveillance cameras all throughout the city to keep a close eye on its precious citizens.
The building itself was actually a very large mansion with one tower in the middle of it all. It almost resembled one of the castles from the medieval times. The outside was old and rusted and the courtyard had cracks in the ground and dead weeds strewn about everywhere. The building was grey looking and at the front of it were large steps that led to the large double doors: the main entrance to the house.
Inuyasha growled at a few demons in their language and I observed the interaction as the demons stepped back and bowed before letting Inuyasha pass.
"Well I hope you like it here, because you are never escaping. I do not tolerate little shits like you running around the city and destroying my exquisite hard work," he snarled at me.
I glared at him and whispered back, "Eat dog shit turd face."
I then found mysef slammed against the ground with Inuyasha's hand wrapped around my neck and his face inches from mine. I only stared back at him showing no pain as he tightened his grip.
"You will submit to me," he hissed out. I managed to grin and spit in his face before saying,
"You may own this city and my body, Takahashi, but my spirit you will never touch. So keep dreaming dog-boy and tell me how that dream ends. I'd love to fucking know."
His eyes flashed red as his demon pushed itself out and he raised a clawed hand to cut me. I only closed my eyes and smiled before saying,
"Do it. A little pain never killed anybody." Inuyasha was an idiot if he thought I would yield to him. No matter what form he took he was still a fucking pushover and he didn't really kill humans.
He hesitated, like I predicted, before pulling back and releasing my neck. What I didn't predict was him ripping off my mask and staring down at me with wide eyes. I scowled at him before slipping out from underneath him and leaping back.
Instantly, two demons were at my side knocking me down by striking the back of my legs with a club. I grunted before falling to my knees and watched Inuyasha as he stepped closer to me. He kneeled down in front of me and roughly took my chin in his hand forcing me to look up at him and into his golden eyes. I almost gasped at the tenderness that they held compared to the malicious look he had before.
"Ka-Kagome?" he whispered out shakily. I shook myself mentally and smiled my fake smile and watched as his face became pale. I really stunned the shit out of him when I responded with,
"In the fucking flesh sweetie." He glared at me before releasing me and speaking to the two demons,
"You, take her to the dungeons. Be careful with her. I want to be the only one inflicting pain on her delicate skin," and with that he turned and left. He was now back to the Inuyasha I really knew him to be and I smiled sadly as my hair draped across my face.
The demons bent down to grab both of my arms and began dragging me towards the mansions doorways. As they opened I looked up and glared at Inuyasha's back wishing he could just collapse from my gaze alone. Just as I was being dragged inside and the doors began to shut, I silently vowed to Inuyasha's disappearing figure,
Just wait you fucking bastard. You will pay.
