(A/N: Yo guys! -'tosses peanuts to everyone'-I'm home and the fic is really starting to get a plot! Here's to more wacky adventures! -'more peanut tossing'-)
Kagome sat quietly in a comfy chair across from Naraku's desk. She was slightly stunned that demon like him could own a corporate office in the middle of town. Naraku eyed her over his crossed hands, amused at her reaction. He sighed and leaned back into his chair putting his boots on his desk.
""I've been thinking about whether or not I should tell you this before Inuyasha comes and murders me. The safest route of action was to tell Inuyasha by himself, and not you. But, I suppose the timeline can take a hit for the team," He leaned forward locking Kagome in his steely gaze, "I'll tell you only the basic facts, and fill in the rest when Inuyasha arrives to save you, as is inevitable. If you go back to Inuyasha's time, it will be your death. If you don't Kikyo will destroy everything."
Kagome stared for a moment before Naraku called in for some tea from a rather familiar sounding secretary.
Inuyasha pulled back a bit when comprehension dawned in Hojo's dull little eyes. Inuyasha's mouth pulled up in a disgusted sneer.
"Inuyasha? I was supposed to.. I.. INUYASHA!" Hojo leapt to his feet and was thrown into the front of the truck as it slammed on it's brakes. He rubbed his head and stared at Inuyasha again, this time from the floor of their cell.
"You were what?" Inuyasha prompted, not liking this situation at all.
"I was supposed to capture you and bring you to The Master," Hojo spoke his words carefully, unwilling to let Inuyasha know who this 'Master' was. Inuyasha scoffed, doubting this human had any-hey wait, he didn't smell human anymore. Inuyasha took a great whiff and realized the trickery that was in place. Hojo was really a little demon, which covered itself in skin she created from natural items like sticks and moss.
"I knew I hated you for a reason," Inuyasha muttered, eyeing the boy. No use in killing him now he thought, if he did he'd be stuck with a corpse and a bloody mess until the kidnappers decided to let the pair go. Speaking of which the van demon was starting to sputter and slow, as if it was getting tired and hungry.
Slowly the van stopped, with just enough Gas to get to Eri's house. The Three girls decided this place was as good as any to release the captives and pulled over. One of them scampered out of the front door and unlocked the back, sliding it open. She peered inside but all she saw was darkness. So she dashed back to the other girls and slammed the door.
Ayume hit the pedal to the metal taking off at high speeds and making Inuyasha and Hojo roll out of the back and onto the pavement. Clearly hoping Inuyasha would protect Kagome so that their relationship would be stronger. In reality Inuyasha used Hojo as a shield to protect himself from the grave land tar of the city street.
Inuyasha scampered free of Hojo, the boy himself groaning and finally standing up to face Inuyasha.
"Hey, whatever happened to Kagome?" Inuyasha gaped at Hojo, Kagome? Oh my God. He took off in a blur of red leaving a unbuckle Hojo in his wake to catch a bus. Kagome, oh Geez how could he have forgotten about her? He darted through the city for a bit before slowly realizing, he hadn't a clue where he was, what he was doing, and that he was dashing demon-like through a highly populated, demon hating city. Oh holy steaming piles of crap.
Dropping to the pavement he noticed he was getting some stares, he paused, thinking of a good lie.. Remembering a documentary he'd seen last night on the making of a movie, he yelled out to invisible people.
"Kay guys great take! "and trotted off towards where he scented Hojo, after all his "Master" had Kagome. Ah flawed reasoning, only not-so-flawed when it turns out he's actually right. He found Hojo on some bus, and got on dragging him violently off to the amusement of several small children and a horrorstricken mother.
"Where is she," Inuyasha growled, his voice grated as he bared his teeth. Hojo shrugged the old grin plastered across his face had obviously come back after escaping the moving prison. Inuyasha eased his grip and Hojo pulled completely away, fixing his clothing and honing in on every minute detail. Inuyasha hit him upside the head.
"Take me to your Master NOW," Inu growled.
Hojo blinked, "Uh, if you wanted to go there. Why'd you pull me off the bus?" Inuyasha blinked realizing his fatal mistake and looked up to watch the bus chug around a far corner and out of sight. He looked back down at the grinning fool and groaned.
"I'm not giving you a ride," he muttered palming his face.
"Then we walk," and so they did.
Naraku glanced at the clock on the wall sipping the tea a surprising secretary had brought. Kagome was so stunned by Sesshoumaru's appearance, and his really cute short hair, that she sipped the drink her worst enemy gave her. Well that was smart. She's lucky this Naraku doesn't want to kill her, so far that she knows.
At a sigh from Naraku, Kagome looked up at the clock too. What was taking Inuyasha so long?! He should have saved her, beaten Naraku, and his Brother, and taken her home! Both Naraku and Kagome groaned rubbing their eyes at the same time. That was when the door burst open.
Inuyasha stood there, looking vicious in his jeans and red t-shirt. In one hand he held Hojo up by his shirt. The poor boy... demon... whatever, looked pitiful, tiredout, and ready to glomp his master. Ah this boy was not blessed with a brain. Naraku's eyebrow raised as Inuyasha threw Hojo into the room and eyed Naraku, not acting surprised in the least.
"Why, was my brother down there. With short hair," he managed to grind out, showing that he wasn't surprised because he was currently in shock. Naraku airily waved a hand.
"He's my secretary, now We have important matters to discuss," He looked pointedly at Kagome, who under a prearranged, arrangement, managed to get Hojo out of the room leaving those two alone. Inuyasha ignored the fact that his Kagome just left with a demon, and settled down in a chair staring at Naraku who started the story of what they needed to do.
Inuyasha's stunned silence didn't last long, "YOU WANT US TO DO WHAT?!"
Even from downstairs Kagome, Hojo and Sesshoumaru winced.
