Well here we go, I can't believe I actually got this far. Enjoy.
ADVISORY: The scene between Naraku and his gang happens during The romantic moments Travis and Sangwa share.
Chapter Seven
"That Mother Fucker!" Naraku yelled as he kicked over a folding chair. "That smart alack Tin Star wearin' bastard!"
"Naraku, calm down baby." Kagura said to him. She was a hooker that Naraku kept on hand at all times. She was on his couch cutting crystal meth as Naraku went about his rampage.
"Don't you tell me to calm down, you stupid bitch! I'll calm down when I damn well please!" He said as he punched the wall.
"Feh, asshole." Kagura said under her breath as she snorted the meth through a straw.
"That stupid bastard has been in my way for three years! I'm not about to lose that bitch Sangwa to a fuckin' pussy like him! Well, I gotta little surprise waitin for him, oh yeah! Kagura, you stupid hoe, gimme my cell!……Kagura are you deaf?!" He asked as he turned around to she her shaking and scratching herself from the high she was under.
"Dammit, stupid bitch!" He said as he grabbed his cell phone and dialed a number. It rang about three times before a friend of his picked it up.
"Hey…Yeah it's me, Naraku…..You ready? Uh huh….. Yeah he'll be comin', just keep an eye out for him. What's that? What the fuck do you mean 'what do I do with him'? Kill him you dumbass! And make sure he's dead!" Naraku said as he hung up the phone. "Looks like you just met the end Travis. And his name is Naraku!" He said with a sinister grin.
----------------------
I was walking back from Sangwa's home when I looked at my watch and realized that it was almost one in the morning. I picked up my pace hoping that Kagome hadn't forgotten that I was out here. As I hurried along the sidewalk, I heard a trashcan tip over in the alleyway. And although my instinct told me to move along, my heart told me it was my duty as a Sheriff to check it out. Because my revolver was still in my briefcase, I took my walking cane in hand as you would hold a rifle and pulled back a notch in the handle to reveal a hidden trigger. The cane, in fact, was used for more than just style. It doubled as a hidden rifle. They were very popular with bankers in the late 1800's.
As I walked into the alley, I heard a cry for help. I looked down the alley to see two figures, a man and woman. The man was holding what looked like a switchblade knife.
'Another mugging? Do they ever learn?" I thought to myself as I moved closer, trying not to alert the mugger and give away my presence.
"Give me everything you got babe. And there won't be no harm done" The mugger said as he waved his knife in the woman's face.
"B-but I don't have anything!" she said as she gave him her purse.
"What! Nothing! You lyin' bitch! I'm gonna slit your throat!" He said as he held the knife up to her neck.
At the last minute, I jumped from my hiding place and struck the mugger over the head with my cane. If I had waited another second, That woman would've been carved up like a Christmas turkey.
"Oh Sheriff, thank goodness you've come!" she said as she wrapped her arms around me.
"Everything's alright ma'am. You're safe now." I said as I motioned for her to let go of me.
"No.. It's not that." She said as she held on. "It's just that you've saved me the trouble of finding you."
"What's that ma…uggghhhh!!!!" I was cut off by the sharp pain of a knife being driven into my chest. She released me and laughed as I fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
"Wha….what??" I gasped as I held a hand over my chest where the knife pierced me.
"Hmhmhmhmhm. Pity. Naraku said to be careful around you. But I guess you're not as smart as people claim, huh?" She said as she knelt beside me. "Although, I must say, I didn't expect you to knock my partner upside the head like that."
"You b-bitch.." I said through a gasp. "You'll burn in Hell for this."
"Hahaha. Spouting that religious crap of yours isn't gonna scare me!" She said with a smile. I actually feel sorry for you. With you dead, that girl Sangwa will be so devastated that she'll go to the arms of the first one to come along. Naraku will take advantage of her in her time of sadness and confusion and fuck her like you wish you could've." She said as she snickered and stood up.
A tear ran down my face as I realized that all she said was true. But I couldn't just lie there and cry. I couldn't let her get away with this. If I was gonna die, I would die doing my duty. I reached for my cane and took it in my hands. I carefully took aim at her back as she walked away from me. And when I knew I had a clear shot, I said my last words:
"Bada bing…bada bang…bada boom…Sucka." I pulled the trigger. The shot could've been heard for miles as the woman fell to her knees.
"H-how?" Was the last word she said as she hit the ground in a pool of blood.
I dropped the empty weapon as my vision began to blur. I knew I was going to die. All I remember from there on, was the sound of a voice, and the footsteps of several people.
Then there was only black.
---------------------------------
Sangwa was sitting on a bench in the Tokyo police station. She had just come out of a questioning room. Apparently, Naraku was behind the entire plot to kill Travis. She had no idea Naraku would do such a thing. She dried her tears with her handkerchief and sighed. What was she to do? Why did Travis have to be stabbed on the same night they professed their love for each other? She had wished now that she would have envied him inside. But being the gentleman that he was, he would have politely declined anyway. She dearly hoped that he would survive. She loved him….And she doubted she could live without Travis by her side every step of the way.
Sangwa's thoughts were interrupted when a considerably hefty cop sat beside her.
"Miss Sangwa. I've been instructed to tell ya that the search for Naraku will begin in twenty four hours. Are you sure there is nothing more you remember concerning his whereabouts?" The cop asked as he sipped his coffee.
"No sir. I told you everything I could officer." She answered politely.
Miss Sangwa, I know this must be terribly hard for you. We all loved Travis. But he's a tough guy. He'll pull through. I know he wouldn't want to see ya cry 'cause of him being hurt." The cop said as he looked at Sangwa.
"Yeah…sniff…I suppose you're right. He'll pull through. He always does." She said through a slight giggle as she remembered the time I had gotten my head stuck in between two water pipes.
"Yeah. Well, I guess you'll be headin' to the hospital to see him, eh?" The cop asked. "I could give ya a ride if you need one."
"No thank you, officer. My friends are actually waiting for me." Sangwa said as she got up.
""Okey dokey then. Just holler if you ever need anything. And if Travis wakes up, Tell him Big Sam says 'Hey'." Sam said as he got up to leave.
"Ok Sam, I'll do that!" Sangwa said with a smile.
Sangwa walked out of the Police Station and walked over to Miroku's 1979 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon. It was an all around nice car being that it was given to him by his grandmother.
Sangwa sat in the back seat with Kagome and Inuyasha. Sango was in the front with Miroku.
"So, Sangwa, is everything ok?" Inuyasha asked in a concerned tone. Sangwa just stared out the window….then answered.
"Naraku….. Is the one who hired those people to kill Travis.." She said as a tear ran down her face… "The police said that he did it so he could get…to me…"
"Oh no, Sangwa, that's terrible!" Sango said as she turned around to talk with them.
"Sangwa, maybe you shouldn't stay by yourself anymore. You and you grandmother had better come and stay with one of us." Miroku said as he took a left at a four way stop.
"No…I….I couldn't do that. I don't want to be a burden." Sangwa said in appreciation.
"Nonsense, I want you to come and stay with me. It'll be like a sleepover." Kagome said trying to brighten the mood. "Besides, with Naraku still out and about, you're in real danger." Kagome said as she placed a hand on Sangwa's shoulder. Kagome always had a motherly love for all of her friends.
"You guys really are my best friends, you know?" Sangwa said as she smiled.
"Yeah, we know. Ya only tell us like every day!" Inuyasha said in a smart aleck tone.
"Inuyasha! Be nice! I swear, you have the mentality of a dog sometimes!" Kagome said as she shoved him. Inuyasha wanted to say something back, but decided it was best that he didn't.
They continued to talk until they came to the multistory parking lot of the Tokyo Medical Research Center. Miroku found a parking spot on the second floor. Everyone got out of the station wagon and headed for the elevator when they were met by a sinister laugh coming from the shadows.
"Well, well…I would say that it took ya long enough, but then again, who would wanna get in a hurry when their goin' to their own funeral?" Naraku said through a chuckle as he walked toward them with a large hunting knife in his hand.
"Naraku! You damn coward! Why'd you hire those goons to kill Travis, huh?! Were you too scared to face him yourself!? Or did you know that you never stood a chance against him?!" Inuyasha said as he and Miroku stepped out in front to protect the women.
"Inuyasha, you fool. I don't need to waste my valuable fuckin' time on a pussy like Travis. I'm too smart for that. I have to keep my eyes on my goal. And my goal is to get that hot piece of ass called Sangwa into my bed." Naraku said as he moved ever closer.
"Well if you want her, you'll have to go through us!" Miroku said as he raised his staff in an offensive stance.
"That's right, we aren't about to let you abuse Sangwa like you did all those other girls!" Sango said as she put her arm in front of Sangwa.
"Hehehe. Stupid bastards! Just try and stop me! You got nothing on me!" He said as he laughed.
Just then, Naraku's smile disappeared as he heard the sound of a Remington Pump-Action shotgun. He turned around and dropped the knife as he looked down the long black barrel of the police issue twelve gauge shotgun. It was Big Sam.
"I figured he'd come lookin' fer ya. So I followed ya in an unmarked car." Big Sam said as he turned Naraku around and slapped the handcuffs on him. "You kids alright?"
"Yes Officer Sam, We're fine." Sangwa replied as a wave of relief flooded over her.
"Good. Now you kid's go on an' see Travis. He need's you more than anything right now. Take Care!" Big Sam said. He took Naraku and led him over to the car as he read him his rights.
"You haven't heard the last of me Sangwa! I'll get out! And when I do, you're mine, you bitch!" Naraku yelled as Big Sam shoved him into the back seat.
Inuyasha, Sangwa, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku made their way thought the hospital to Travis' room. When the walked in they saw their long time friend hooked up to life support. Things looked terribly grim. They had been told that he was in a coma. And that there was no telling if he would ever come out of it. But the doctors said that he was both young and strong, and that there was still a slim chance that he would survive.
"He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping." Sangwa said as a tear ran down her face. She wished that this had never happened. But what's done is done. The rest, was up to God.
"What do you believe goes on in the human mind when you are in a coma?" Miroku asked as he sat down.
"I've heard that it's like a dream. A long dream that feels like it'll never end." Inuyasha said as he looked at the machines that Travis was hooked up to.
"Where did you hear that, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she sat beside Miroku.
"On the Discovery channel." Inuyasha answered as he leaned up against the wall. Everyone chuckled at his answer.
"I believe that your whole life is shown to you. That you remember everything you've done in you life while you lie there unconscious." Sango said as she stood beside Sangwa, comforting her sadness. Sango understood a lot about loss. Because she had lost her parents and little brother in a car accident. Now she lived with her aunt and uncle. And even though they love her as if she was their own, she still grieves over her parents.
Sangwa enjoyed listening to her friends beliefs and opinions. Se, however, could not even imagine what being in a coma was like. She wondered if Travis was ok. And if he was, what was he thinking right now? Or dreaming, maybe?

In Travis' Mind
"Ughnnn…….oh…d-dear…My g-goodess..Where….where am I?" I thought as I woke with a white light enveloping me.
"What….what happened? Have...have I died?" I asked myself as I began to walk. All of a sudden, I heard a Heavenly voice address me.
"Travis….Travis….my son… Answer me." The voice said to me. I looked around but saw no one.
"W-who's there?" I asked as I began to tremble.
"I Am, who Am. I Am the One who has watched over thee and all creation since I created it. Dost thou not recognize thy Father?" The Voice asked.
My eye's began to well with tears as I realized that I was talking to the Almighty Father.
"Oh my G-goodness…." I said as tears rolled down my face in happiness. "Is it really you Father?"
"Yes, my son. 'Tis I. I must speak with Thee." The Voice replied as it echoed for what seemed like forever.
"Father, your humble servant is listening." I said as I fell to my knees.
"My son. Thou's time hast yet to come. I still have many plans for thee. So I am sending thee back to finish what thou hast started. And to fulfill My Divine Plans for thee."
"But Father, what are your plans for me?" I asked as the light began to fade.
"Follow thy noble heart, my son. And My Plan will reveal Itself to thee. Go now and awake from your sleep after seven days pass, my son."
After the light faded, Everything went black as I fell into a deep sleep.
Well, that's the new chapter. I hope you enjoy it! Please leave your reviews. And do not hesitate to tell me if I need improvement.
God Bless.
