Inuyasha crossover Iron Man
Chapter 17: Aokigahara

Tony opened his eyes, feeling more refreshed than he had ever been in years, no longer tired and it made him feel like he could take on the world again. And even felt like he was in the best of health that he had ever been! Tony felt the need to be productive for once, his mind clear and heart feeling more at peace for the first time as well, something that he had not experienced before. There were just so many thoughts, ideas and things running through his mind that he would want to get started with, the excitement that he had not felt for so long suddenly returned to him with a kick.

However there's one thing that he wanted to do first, Kagome. That was when all the memories of before started returning to him, and he felt his heart sank, he needed to get her back. The only thing he needed to know now, was where was she?! Getting out of bed quickly, it took Tony a while to notice that he was back in his room and not the stairwell. He had no idea what happened or how he was back to his bed, but he needed to get to her and get her back, he did not want another issue of what happened to Pepper happening again, not when it was only just beginning.

He made a mad rush to search for his phone and got to work, quickly hacking through the CCTV footages of the hotel, bringing up relevant videos as he scanned through it quickly and found it somehow impossible to find anything. Not even the video of her entering the hotel that same day. He was sure of his memory, even more clearly that she was there with him, which would explain greatly of his now wound free hand that did not show any signs of him ever punching the mirror in his bathroom.

He had given the order to JARVIS to do a search and compile video footages regarding to Kagome within the last 12 hours. Whilst waiting, he did the next best thing, calling Sesshoumaru, the demon ice Prince. No one was answering the phone, and when he tried calling Kagome's number, the line was dead, no longer in service. Tony's face paled with worry, his blood run cold as he began panicking, worrying of the various possibilities that could have happened to her. SHIELD especially and he felt himself panicking even more as he got all information and data from JARVIS with nothing much or anything helpful at all.

A very panic and fear filled Tony got JARVIS to dig out all information hidden or not to get the contact of Sesshoumaru, Shippo and Kagome, anything that might give him a lead. So long as it was connected to them, he will find out about it. The only thing that worries him is that it might have gone cold if he were to dally for too long. His phone kept redialing the number belonging to Sesshoumaru as he quickly called for a cab to take him to the main headquarters where he was more than sure that Sesshoumaru is in at the moment.

"Pick up damn it!" Tony shouted into the phone, aware that he was still in the taxi where the can driver had looked up with disapproving eyes and throwing a glare at him.

Anxiety and fear ate at him, putting him on edge as he volatile in temper. When they reached his choice of destination, Tony threw a 100 U.S. dollar note at the taxi driver who shouted after him in Japanese that he did not understand, but Tony was already running into the building, jumping over the barrier as the staffs and security on the first level shouted and chased after him for what he had done. The situation to him at the moment, mattered the least, as he entered the lift, he had it hacked in prior to the instructions that he had given to JARVIS when on the phone.

"SESSHOUMARU!" He bellowed at the top of his lungs, storming down towards the office where he saw his secretary ready to stop him from barging in to his office.

"Get away," Tony snarled out, his eyes promises nothing but pain as his path towards Sesshoumaru's office was blocked.

"Let him through," drifted in the cool emotionless voice belonging to the cold heartless business tycoon that was know to be ruthless when dealing with business and those that have pitted themselves against him.

Tony pushed pass the secretary aside as he storm in, throwing the door wide open as he took large quick strides to Sesshoumaru, making a grab for the front of his shirt as he twisted his dress shirt in his hand and hauling the other down from where he stood, face twisted with anger and fury.

"Where is Kagome," he hissed into Sesshoumaru's face, to anyone that pass by the office, should perhaps start ordering a coffin or helping the American man grabbing Sesshoumaru to buy life insurance.

Sesshoumaru was not the regular type of people that is easily intimidated, and Tony Stark should know better than anyone that he is inhuman in many way and sense. Their eyes clashed, a pair of golden eyes that speaks nothing but the coldness in it bore into angry brown eyes that were narrowed dangerously at him.

"Where is she," he hissed out, dragging forward even more as he gave the male a shake for answers.

"You should know better than me human," he growled, claws lengthening as Sesshoumaru easily extracted himself from the mortal male, but not without giving him a few cuts as warning. It was nothing deep, just a few 'scratches' upon his skin that might have been the doing of a sharp blade.

"Well I don't, and she's unreachable," he growled back, annoyed, frustrated at the treatment from the other hostile party when all he wanted was just to find out where Kagome is and worried for her safety.

"She's unreachable!" Tony all but shouted it out, earning a loud growl who was now suddenly in front of him, and with the choking hand back on his neck as he felt the sharp nails of the other threatening to dig into his throat to rip out his cords or spine.

"You will keep your tone and voice down Tony Stark if you do not want to die in my hands now," he threatened golden eyes narrowing sharply at the other, his tone venomous and hostile. Tony felt the pricks of his nails digging into his neck from the pain, bringing new meaning to 'pain in the neck' to him, but that was the least on his mind as compared to finding where Kagome is and reaching out to her immediately.

He felt the pressure around his neck released and was thrown back to the ground as he hit it hard with a thump when his body made contact with it. It was odd, but he did not feel the pains that he had acquired the other day, in fact he felt perfectly fine and great, just a little sore for the time being but it faded quickly.

Sesshoumaru picked up a phone as he pressed a few button before putting it to his ears. Tony watches his every move as he picked himself up, waiting as patiently as he could before he started tapping his feet out of impatience within seconds. He saw the flicker of warning in Sesshoumaru's eyes thrown at him, but ignored it entirely.

Sesshoumaru look at the phone, pressing a few more buttons again as he redialed the number, knowing well that no one amongst them would not answer this private line that was mainly for the three of them to use to immediately get hold of the other, no one was to leave it unanswered. Instead, the phone continued ringing until it was sent to a line busy tone. Sesshoumaru looked at the phone, his mind whirling as he contemplated for a moment before dialing another number, this time to Shippo. The rest was the same, both unreachable and without reply. Sesshoumaru eyes narrowed, contemplating for a moment before moving back to his table as he deafly ignores Tony's demand for an answer to quickly type away on his laptop to do a trace.

"Answer me damn it! Where is she?!"

"Aokigahara," Sesshoumaru replied after scanning the last seen location, nothing but trouble, but it was also one of the best place to go since being abandoned by majority of youkai kinds, leaving only few to remain there.

"Speak English goddamn it," Tony growled in frustration wanting nothing more that to cause the other harm, but instead received the cold freezing look of Sesshoumaru that promised a swift death with only his eyes.

"Get your tin toy Stark," was the only order that he got as Sesshoumaru swept past him to exit the office, Tony growled as he followed closely behind the other tall male, annoyed at being treated like a petulant child, it was like a blast back to his childhood and it annoyed him.

"Where," spat Tony as he demanded, not know at all the situation.

"Suicide forest, the kit has her," he growled, eyes flashed red once threatening to undo the glamour that he was under had it not been for the many that seem to make it a point to ignore his command within the week, and it was starting to get on his nerves.

It was that Shippo Gitsune again who had taken away the only one hateful enough to take her away from him. His anger grew, hating the fact that she might now be in danger from that craze person who now held her captive. The suit reached him the same time as he got out the building, stepping into it as he felt the familiarity of the suit and the voice of JARVIS welcoming him into the suit. This was one of his latest creations that he worked on when he had sleepless night and days where he needed to take his mind off things, especially things relating to Pepper.

"Chart me the quickest path to Suicide Forest," Tony demanded, no longer in the mood to be nice as his A.I. replied almost immediately answered to his request, and he was off to the area at top speed, wanting to get to Kagome as quickly as he could before the other male did something to harm her.

Kagome remembered she was healing Tony, and then nothing else. Her head was throbbing as she groaned out, smelling the scent of decay and dampness and feeling the coldness of the floor seeping through her clothes. She groaned, mumbling something incoherently as she felt warm hands helped ease her up, pressing a cool hand to her forehead before taking it away again to feel a kiss pressed to her forehead.

"Stop it," she said, pushing the other away weakly but was instead pulled against a firm body. The male, obviously, nuzzled against the crook of her neck, kissing his way up as he tilted her head back to captured her lips, thinking for a moment that it was Tony, she was hesitant to return it.

It was more forceful this time, shy at first as she slowly opened her eyes to see a head of auburn hair. This was not Tony Stark, Kagome pushed Shippo forcefully away from her as she placed a hand over her lips, suddenly feeling guilty as though she had cheated on Tony.

"What's so good about that mortal who sleeps around with just about anyone that is female," Shippo snarled out in anger, snapping at Kagome before he turned around to school his face back to calmness before addressing her again.

"I've always been so patient these 500 years, waiting for the day that you'll take notice that I am the only one that's been there for you," he told her, keeping anger out of his voice as he tried the pity act on Kagome, kneeling before her.

"Shippo, please don't, there's someone else more fitting for you out there," she tried assuring him, it was impossible for her to change how she still see him as.

"I only ever wanted you," he told her, reaching out to hug her but to see Kagome flinched a little at his near approach, "You were always on my heart and in my eyes, always…" he whispered into her ears as he held her stiffened body into her arms, sharing his warmth with her.

Kagome shuddered when she felt his breath against the sensitive bare skin of her neck and ear. Her body froze when she heard him growled in annoyance, his tongue flicked out to licked her neck, causing Kagome to jerk away as she tried to repel him away, creating a barrier between them to keep him away.

"Drop the barrier Kagome," Shippo hissed, hackles up, not at all pleased at being rejected and pushed out of area.

"I'm so sorry Shippo, but I can't," she told him with a quivering voice, afraid that if this gets worse, she would have to cause him more permanent damage and possible killing him whilst at it.

The thought of it made her hesitate more, wanting to be able to get through to him so that things may return to how it was.

To the Readers
Hello, I've been updating super fast recently I know, shocking too isn't it, especially when you'd usually wait for a long time before an update can even be upped. I hope that the beginning of a new week is okay so far, and hoped that you enjoy this new update. Have a great week ahead!

To Spastic Freak
Yes! Broke it for "Of Petty Gods" for me, already going to put a stamp on discontinuing it and deleting it once the notice has been put out. I know what you mean about work, though procrastination is another thing that goes hand in hand with it especially how tired you'd feel once you get back home from work. I've to continue doing work even up until the middle of the night sometimes. I drabbles and one-shots are good, until you feel like you should be making it into a whole story plot out of it. I've way too many back logs from what I see.

Thanks, so glad to hear that this fan fiction help you to get through the days of work. It's the first I've read so far. Makes this story worth it suddenly, hahaha. You're not wrong on that she is still a girl/woman and well she does have her own emotions that will always come back to haunt her even if she were to throw them far away into some mental closet.

I did thought about that, but if there is a cause or reasoning like possibilities of a guest's endangerment health or mentally, it might actually work in getting them to open the door. Though if to say by influence, I guess that would be another one as well for the easiest of access with just status, power and threat. Though I would rather go with the first one of possible life endangerment to his own self and her worry. It's very much like her I feel, especially when he did not leave a note or anything to be found for her when she awakens, don't you think?

Soon this story will come to an end, and I can finally work on "Wicked Games" and the other fan fictions, though their plot at the moment is not talking to my mind at the moment. I hope that the beginning of this new week is getting along just fine with you. If anything hit me up on PM and we can always chat for ever~ Take care and have a great week!

To Yohanzzon
Haha something like that, not a wrong thought though, it does make sense in some way, lol though I'm not sure about others. Glad that you are enjoying the fan fiction thus far, and well let's not find out about being overworked, it's a very wide field you'd not want to explore into haha. Have a great week ahead of you, and enjoy this new chapter! =]
