Inuyasha crossover Iron Man
Chapter 2: Impromptu
Complying to any form of request or what is close to even an order was not something that Tony Stark was good at. In fact it made him want to find out more about it and to know it more closely. For a few weeks now, Tony had been running searches on a girl by the name of Kagome Higurashi, however he had find it odd that every time he thought he was close to finding her, her presence disappeared. This was an open challenge for him, the more that Higurashi wanted to stay out of his radar, the more he was out to find her.
Kagome was of course informed of almost every single thing that Tony Stark had tried to do by "hunting" her down. It had at first amused her as she listened to what Shippo had installed for him with each steps that he take. And like what his reputation had staked, he really is a stubborn person who would not take impossible or no for an answer. It was amusing for some time, however it was getting rather annoying that he was somewhat not relenting to what he had set out to do at all. Kagome had thought that there were many other things that he would be busy working on especially after the Extremis virus on which he was fighting off earlier. Not that the information that she had gotten was of legal means, it was due to her being curious for a moment though. There were of course the other way but it was unnecessary she had thought if she could do what Tony Stark was ever capable and famous for, not following the rules.
From weeks it became a month since she had heard of Tony's sudden search interest in her and he was still not relenting. It was almost just as annoying as how Koga would always declare that she was "his woman" lucky for her he came to his senses with Ayame there to keep him in place. She studied the menu of the restaurant that she was in, awaiting for the arrival of Shippo who was seemingly running late again as it seemed. Kagome gave her order for a drink, thinking that it was the waiter but was surprised when she looked up to see Tony Stark glancing down at her with a raised brow as he settled in the seat opposite of her.
"I see you do not take kindly to what was told to you," Kagome told Tony almost to casually in perfect English as she managed to place her order this time with a passing waiter.
"You are surprisingly evasive from my radar, curiously evasive by my technology," Tony said as he leaned back on the chair sitting upright as he crossed his hands upon the table.
"Mr. Stark, how nice of you to drop by so uninvitingly," a smooth voice said as a handsome male with a brownish auburn hair cut to short as waves and curls of it were styled with care.
"Hello mother," Shippo said with a twinkle in his forest green eyes as he leaned forward to place an affectionate kiss upon her cheeks before taking a seat next to her as he held her hand.
Tony for once was silent as he looked between them, there were many thoughts that were running through his head as he watches between the two of them interact, all smiles and with proper decorum. It had come to his attention that he had perhaps made a mistake of the girl that he had met in his dream. She looked older than what she had thought her to be of a teenager. More matured, with killer curves, especially those lips that had captured his attention since they had last met informally that are.
"I do believe Mr. Stark, that you've crossed the boundaries of just mere personal space to that of a stalker," Shippo said as he smiled innocently at the billionaire, there were years of wisdom and mischief in his eyes, the same twinkle that he had seen in Loki's, bringing him back to another memory.
It took all but nothing to put him into a daze like flashback as Kagome and Shippo exchange looked between on another. Kagome reached out to touch his hand, using her inner eye as she travelled into his mind by a mere touch as she looked at what he was seeing. It was all that simple as the Kagome in there took hold of Tony's hand bringing him back to reality as she saw Tony's eyes focusing once more at them. Shippo casually dusted invisible lint and dust off his perfectly pressed jacket, telling Kagome that it was unnecessary to do what she had done for someone that had been doing nothing much but seemingly tracking her down in any ways and means possible, and with much success it would seem. Kagome hushed Shippo as she let go of Tony's hand to take make her order when they had captured the attention of another passing waiter.
"Y-you, how did you do that," Tony demanded as he looked at her in an almost glaring manner. He was almost shaky beads of sweat had started forming from when he returned to the memories of what had happened in New York and more recently, of the Extremis case.
The two people that Tony faces, took a sip of their drink, both exchanging looks of mischief, an aura of unfathomable mystery hung thick around of them. "Do you really think Mr. Stark, that you'd be the only one with demons of their own that shadows over other mere human's own?" Shippo asked as he leaned forward to rest the side of his head on his palm as he winked at a passing waitress who was almost constantly eyeing their table.
"Hush now Shippo, there are things that even Mr. Stark should not know about despite of who he is," Kagome told her adoptive son as she smiled a silent thank to the waiter that had brought her their starters. Picking up a fork as she played with her salad for a moment before spearing a tomato to place in her mouth, knowing well that Tony was watching their movements very closely.
"She's right, Mr. Stark, there are many a things that you should not know about or even try finding out more things that would cause your bowl of problems to overflow more than it already does," Shippo told him, as he too started on his own plate of greens.
"Though I would suggest that you do try to curb your habit of needing to know everything to nothing at the moment. Also I must compliment you on how tight your security is, though obviously it is not all that good enough," the later part made Tony frown as Kagome covered a smile of amusement with her napkin.
"Do excuse his need to create mischief and trouble for some people Mr. Stark, but I would heed his advise as well, in not pursuing more things than you could chew off," she told him as she placed her fork down on the table, looking at Tony almost expectantly for his rebuttal or some form of stubbornness. And just as predictable as he is, he picked the menu up to order something simple off it; determine to stay there to get whatever information he wanted from them.
"I hate to say this kid, but there is nothing flawed with my security, and I would have been notified of any kind of breach even if you were merely just breathing onto it," Tony said in his usual tone of stubborn defiance as he made himself more comfortable with a freshly poured glass of scotch.
Shippo could only smile at that thought as he placed his fork down this time an indulgent smile upon his lips as though to pacify him. Things could not get any more awkward as she noticed that Tony was doing a lot of talking with Shippo as they would exchange banter back and forth trying to make the other drop whatever hint or things that the other was not meant to say. Needless to say, Shippo had years, hundreds of years to perfect and see through all types of tricks.
"Boys, behave, we're in a restaurant. Though I must say Mr. Stark, Ms. Potts seems to be really giving for her to let you run loose like that after such a near death experience that you had encounter one after the other," Kagome said, striking up a casual topic. As she dabbed away the stray sauce that was left on the side of her lips, Kagome turned her full attention to him. It was after all not always that someone was able to find her that easily, though what surprised her really was that it took Tony Stark longer than what she had predicted.
"I believe Ms Higurashi, that you're right on that, however that would be a personal problem that we're currently looking into," Tony told her nonchalantly as though hoping that it would not cause Kagome to ask any more question in regards to it, as it was obviously distressing him.
"Would it be correct if I were to say that you Mr. Stark had crossed the line with her more than needed, and it is wearing her thin?" Shippo asked with a smirk, looking up at him for a moment as he watches the expression on Tony Stark's face changes almost too quickly.
"I apologize on behalf of my son Mr. Stark for stepping out of the boundaries," Kagome said throwing a warning look at Shippo as she returned to her meal, looking at Tony from beneath her lashes as she took a sip of her drink.
Tony did not answer as though brought back into another flashback daze as he looked at the empty space between them. Kagome sighed as she started finding it somewhat of an annoyance, for the need to bring him back to reality. If it was anything, Kagome was starting to prefer the Tony Stark that she had met in her dreamscape than the one who is almost constantly spacing out with the "right" words. Again, Kagome reached out for his hand as she brought him back out to the world in which they belonged to before it became an embarrassment for him.
"Really Mr. Stark, you have to stop being drawn so easily to your own flashback and memories, it is really not doing any good to your own health. And here I thought we had talked about it enough, had your previous experience with me not enough to be known to you?" Kagome asked as she waited for him to reply, he was somewhat faster to regain his consciousness this time as Shippo let out a sigh beside of her, tired of the scene before her.
"It must have slipped my mind like how most dreams are," Tony finally replied her all too dryly, finding it intriguing of how she could so easily bring him out of whatever horrible flashback or memories that he was having. Shippo noticed the exchange, but kept his silence of what was going on, especially with what he had just found out. It was not something that he had anticipated much but he foresees that it was going to be a rising problem if not handled fast.
"Mr. Stark, I'm sure that you're a busy man, especially a super hero for the better of the world, do you not have other pressing matters on hand that you have need to see to?" Shippo asked as he looked towards Tony with a renewed hardness to his eyes as his eyes flashed dangerously into serpent like slits before being back to his usual smile of all smiles again. It was a silent threat to Tony, however he knows that it was dangerous to mess with a male with such great influence, however Shippo had an idea in mind, one that perhaps Kagome and Sesshoumaru would both reprimand him for a few years.
"I'm sorry we were not acquainted at all, you are?" Tony ask as though noticing him for the first time as Tony looked at Shippo expectantly.
"Shippo Gitsune," the fox supplied not at tall interested in shaking hands with the human male that is causing them to have more attention than needed in a restaurant that both Kagome and him frequent.
"Really, you two are behaving like children needing to win over something," Kagome commented with slight annoyance as she sat back in her seat with the same annoyance that she had showed when faced with Tony's stubbornness to let go of certain things in her dreamscape.
"Look Mr. Stark, congratulations, you've found me, your little puzzle has been solved, and I must say that though it was nice to meet you for the first time in person, let's not do this again, especially when both of us know that there is nothing else for you to find out about us," Kagome told him cordially and politely.
Kagome know better than that of Tony's personality as she noticed the tension between the two males slowly ebbed away. It was somewhat tiring at times to be in the middle of situation like this, however it was also partially her fault for allow this to happen, and not better handling the issue. She would have sighed in situation like this, however it would be somewhat unbecoming of her and of course something that even Sesshoumaru would reprimand her shortly about and to give her training and work that she hated.
"I know of the Shikon no Tama, and the history of it, especially more so of the legend that surrounds it," Tony finally said as he sat forward watching the two of them change expression, Kagome's paled while the smile upon Shippo's face disappeared. He finally hit the right note, as Tony enjoyed the moment of finally managing to change the topic and take control of it.
Kagome cleared her throat as she drank down her glass of water steadily, her mind trying to clear of what had happened years ago for her. Shippo on the other hand clasped both his hands together as he too leaned forward in his seat to better study Tony, unsure of how much he knows or what he had found out, especially with the many things that they internet is capable of spreading.
"I must say, that this little piece of legend interest me. Even more so when I saw this ugly thing, Naraku, I think he was called, in one of the many battles I'm sure that Ms. Higurashi here have been through," he continued, taking a bite out of his main dish as he watched them both react and waited for either one of them to answer.
The silence this time was thick and somewhat uncomfortable as they two Japanese contemplated of the many paths, both eating their own meal as though with a sudden interest in it. Kagome knew that this would have been mentioned, except that she had hope it would be in a more discreet manner rather than his forthrightness.
"Mr. Stark, these were mere legends told to children in the past of the power of greed and power, and how they should not succumb to its own even when tempted," Kagome told him, being all formal again as she cut up another piece of her meal.
"Ms. Higurashi, you and I both know better than that, but even more so, I want to know is how you could so easily manipulate the dreams to chase me out of it and how you had brought me out of my own flashback earlier on," Tony's tone was strict and did not leave room for any evasions.
"I must hand it to you Mr. Stark, for a person who is always risking his life, would you not say that your life itself is in a jeopardy of its own by coming to us?" Shippo asked, gone were the jokes the light-heartedness, it was replace by the tone that he would use when dealing with business.
Kagome reached out to place a hand on Shippo's hand as she shook her head, as though preventing him from doing something. Tony noticed that look that he saw once in her dreamscape, it was when he was going to suggest something "stupid" to her. Tony tensed a little, Kagome and Shippo saw the way his jaw tightened when clenched down on. He had no idea of whom he was dealing with, and if her dreamscape would indicate or say anything, Tony should be weary of either of them.
"Mr. Stark, some things are best remained in the sleeping memory," Kagome told him. She weary and tired for a moment as she leaned back in her chair more or less predicting of how persistent Tony Stark was going to be, and how much of a handful he was going to be when perusing this matter. She know the look on his face, he was not at all accepting of what she had just told him, in fact she saw that determine look in his eyes that indicated as much to her.
"Perhaps, Mr. Stark, your kind are not ready for what you are seeking an answer to," Kagome told him in all seriousness.
