Yay next chapter...the club scene...and the first fight.

 

Turn the music up and the gunshots begin

~~

 

The music pounded loudly, infatuating youkai and ningen alike. Sweaty bodies danced seductively on the dance floor, grinding to relieve sexual tension or to build it. Whichever, heated bodies were flushed and going for more. There were booths with various people sitting, drinking and talking, some with slurred speech. The bars were crowded and shot glasses slid down to waiting hands.

 

People were kissing ferociously in corners, and some were trying to find backrooms. Some laughed and others sang drunkenly. There was a fairly large stage up in the front. The lights were mesmerizing as they glowed on certain characters and illuminated the dance floor, making the appearance all the more inviting and tantalizing. Perfect for a night on the town. Or senior high school students with fake ids.

 

“ Keh, nothin' that special about it, ” Inuyasha observed gruffly, staring at the different people and taking in the atmosphere. “ Music is fucking loud though...” He finished, his ears halfway flattened to his head.

 

“ Yash! Look around! Plenty of women for the taking, booze for drinking and assholes for thrashing!” Miroku stated proudly, waving his hands, motioning the view around them. “ With a fake id...the possibilities are endless!”

 

Sesshoumaru surveyed the club critically, saying nothing. The only reason he agreed to go on this petty rendezvous was because his half-brother dared to accuse him of being interested in the same sex. Rather than simply ripping his innards out, which the mutt's mother wouldn't be too happy about, he decided to merely prove his otouto incorrect. Now, he was re-thinking his rash decision.

 

There were many members of Taisho scattered around the club. Some partying, others dancing and of course some that were eating and getting piss ass drunk. The average age in the club was unrecognizable, with the fake ids and everything.

 

Inuyasha scoffed with his usual `Feh' at Miroku's remark and eyed the women. Even though no one knew he was in the gang Taisho, he was still known, and being a rich bastard had its merits; women practically through themselves at his feet. Even with him being filthy rich, having devilish good looks made women literally drool. He didn't have the sheer masculine beauty as his wretched half-brother, but the ladies were never scarce.

 

Even with the female ningen and youkai staring at him like a hunk of succulent meat, the raven-haired vixen by the name of Kagome invaded his head and flooded his thoughts.

 

Miroku looked around at the club and felt his pockets to make sure his i.d was there. There were many ladies, but each and every one of them reminded him of the fiery brunette he befriended today, though not in the most polite of matters.

 

Miroku shook his head. ` Get yourself together Miroku, she might be the most beautiful girl you have ever seen but your status quo does not allow you to make any sort of commitments...' He scanned the area for an available booth and spotted one.

 

“C'mon gentlemen, let us get some drinks and sit to watch the show.” Miroku insisted, reverting back to his old lecherous self.

 

“Keh, whatever bouzo.”

 

The booth was near a window, with black leather seats and a table with napkins resting on the side. It was extremely well kept for a dance club.

 

“ It is rumored that this establishment is owned by an elderly miko...” Sesshoumaru commented, looking aimlessly at their surroundings.

 

Miroku replied, “ Yeah, that would make sense, a shrine building is right next door.”

 

“A fucking dance club near a shrine?!” Inuyasha ridiculed, with an amused look on his face. The thought was seriously ridiculous.

 

“Our shrine to be exact.”

 

Thumping, catchy music then immediately blasted. Inuyasha and Miroku turned with astonished visages while Sesshoumaru turned with an indifference to come face to face with Sango. She was leaning against the table, a pen in one hand and paper in the other. She was sporting a coy grin.

 

“Oh Sango! How we are blessed-”

 

“Can it, Houshi.” Sango huffed. “ So how may I help you...”

 

Inuyasha asserted, black eyebrows rose. “Nani?! You work here?”

 

“Yet you are only seventeen my beautiful Sango.” Miroku added.

 

Sango rolled her eyes. “ So are you, and I'm sure you were going to order a nice glass of sake or beer right now.”

 

“Keh.”

 

“Nice to see you too.” Deemed Sango. “And I'm not the only one who works here.” Sango turned her head to face a table a couple of seats down and called out.

 

“Hey Kagome! Come over here!”

 

`Kagome?!' Inuyasha thought and swiveled his head to the direction Sango was voicing out to. Sure enough there was Kagome, arguing with some drunken fools. When she heard Sango's voice, she looked around, spotted her and walked away, eager to get away from the liquored up youkai. Inuyasha was in a trance as he observed her hips swaying to the music as she sauntered over to their table.

 

“Another beautiful one! Our night just gets better and better.”

 

Sesshoumaru smacked Miroku upside the head.

 

Kagome reached the table where the houshi, youkai and hanyou resided. She was dressed clad in black and white, and gesturing towards Sango, was the standard uniform in the club. She had a smile when she faced them.

 

“Hey guys.”

 

“It will be wonderful to have some female company!” Miroku said, grinning profusely.

 

Inuyasha added in with a gruff voice, eyes narrowed. “ Oi! But you wenches are only seventeen, I don't think fake ids would work for an actual job?”

 

“ We have names you know...” Kagome said, exasperated but glaring at him all the same. “ The shrine next door, we live there with our adoptive grandmother.”

 

“Oh, so you guys live together?” Miroku questioned.

 

“Hai.” Sango affirmed nodding her head. “ And since she owns the place, we were only too happy to work here.”

 

Kagome finished for Sango.“ And that's why we didn't need fake ids.”

 

“Getting full access to booze twenty-four seven?” Inuyasha fantasized. “ Now that's fucking sweet.”

 

Miroku raised his eyebrows. “What are you talking about Yash? Just go into your personal fridge and you have a damn years supply.”

 

“You make a good point, monk.” Inuyasha said while resting his hands behind his head.

 

“Well, if you guys aren't going to order anything...” Sango started.

 

“Where is the third one?” Sesshoumaru asked, unexpectedly. He had noticed that throughout the pointless conversation, the third girl had not shown up.

 

A confused expression graced Kagome's face. “Nani?...oh you mean Rin.”

 

“She has a name too you know...” Sango stated her nose scrunched.

 

“ Yeah Sess, she has a name.” Inuyasha declared with a smirk on his lips.

 

Kagome made a disbelieving sound at the back of her throat. “ You shouldn't be the one to talk.”

 

Inuyasha growled at her. “What was that wench?”

 

“You heard me!” Kagome responded fiercely, insulted one again by the nickname. They glowered daggers at each other without bothering with their three companions.

 

`Yash you are such a stubborn dog.' Miroku thought while shaking his head disapprovingly.

 

Sesshoumaru's eyes gave the most diminutive of rolls, and his eyes wandered out into the crowd. Still the one named Rin refused to show up. He concluded that she might possibly not work here. Then again, Sango still did not respond to his question.

 

“Anyways.” Sango continued after, observing Kagome. “ Rin is gonna perform in two minutes.”

 

Kagome tore her eyes away from Inuyasha's golden pools. For a second there while they were arguing, an unwanted thought of how amazingly hot Inuyasha looked while he was angry squirmed its way into her head. She just got lost into his smoldering eyes for a minute.

 

“ Oh yes! That's what we forgot to tell you!” Kagome beamed and clapped her hands. “ Rin does work here, but she performs a couple of songs once a night.”

 

“ She always says that she detests her voice, but the audience and us believe differently.” Sango continued. “ We convince her to sing.”

 

Sesshoumaru amber eyes held a bit of surprise as the demon lord turned to face the stage. Miroku's eyes also turned towards the stage, but Inuyasha's remained on Kagome. He rather enjoyed Kagome's display of anger, which made her appear even more increasingly beautiful; in a rebel kind of way. Eventually, he didn't want to be caught ogling and, as well, turned to face the stage.

 

The music faded and the disk jockey's voice rang out through the speakers. “ Ladies and gentlemen, party freaks and alcoholics, I'd like to introduce our main event tonight, where the lovely Rin Sai will sings requests from the audience...and a few of her own.”

 

The multi-colored lights beamed to the stage giving it an unearthly glow. The rest of the club fell into semi-darkness. The booth where the three friends were seated and two standing, waited anxiously. “Now give it up for the magnificent, gorgeous, and most talented singer this club was ever graced by...Rin Sai!!”

 

The lights flashed to the center of the stage and there was Rin, in all of her breathtaking glory, displaying a beautiful black halter dress that sparkled in the light. He silky black hair waved slightly, and her eyes were closed and downcast. Sesshoumaru's breath involuntarily hitched, and Inuyasha's hanyou ears caught the sound. He smirked to himself.

 

Rin's eyes looked upwards and everything was silent. They glimmered as if there were tears. Sango and Kagome waved and giggled. Inuyasha and Miroku continued to watch and Sesshoumaru sat there immobilized. She began to sing.

 

I wait for the postman
To bring me a letter
And I wait for the good Lord
To make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
Family in crisis that only grows older
Why' d you have to go?
Why' d you have to go?
Why' d you have to go?

Kagome squealed delightedly and Sango beamed. Inuyasha and Miroku's mouths fell open and still, Sesshoumaru was unable to move.

 

Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I am broken, but I am hoping
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me's dying
and these are
These are the confessions
Of a broken heart.

 

Suddenly, just before Rin was going for a high note, there were gunshots; and a lot of them. Rin ceased singing immediately. The lights went out and the crowd broke into a frenzied panic. There were chairs hitting the ground and men laughing.

 

“ Kuso!” Sesshoumaru cursed, thankfully his vision was highly more developed than a mere humans and so was his half-brother's.

 

“ What the fuck is going on?!” Inuyasha shouted looking around the club finding people scattered everywhere screaming and running in a mob. The hanyou immediately searched for the girls. He found them secured behind Miroku near their table. He mentally sighed in relief and looked towards his aniki.

 

A figure out of nowhere bumped unceremoniously into their table. Sesshoumaru immediately recognized it as Rin. “ What the hell is going on?!” she shrieked.

 

“ There were gun shots near the front of your club...I don't think it would be wise to try and get out of the front exit-” Miroku was cut off by more gunshots and a hoard of people trying to get out. He was then unable to feel the two human girls behind them. He swiveled his head forwards where Rin was mere seconds ago and was unable to locate her.

 

“ FUCKING SHIT!!” He swore, wide-eyed and panicking. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru turned towards the monk. “ THERE GONE!!”

 

Inuyasha snarled forcefully and Sesshoumaru strained himself not to kill anyone who was in his path to find them.

 

“NANI??” Inuyasha bellowed. “ THEY WERE HERE SECONDS AGO!!”

 

“They must have been carried away by the crowd!!”

 

Sesshoumaru immediately tried to sniff them out, but the hundreds of people swarming together covered up their scent and all the screaming cut off his hearing. Inuyasha appeared to have the same problem even with his hypersensitive ears. Inuyasha began to shove people away compellingly. Everything stopped, as there were more gunshots heard, much closer than before. Maniacal laughter burst forth and everybody cowered into hiding. The lights began to flicker on again and it revealed a group of beings dressed all in black. They appeared to be a mix of ningen and youkai, and each and every one of them was holding a gun, definitely some with substances that could seriously injure a youkai. Sesshoumaru located the different members of Taisho in the crowd but they seemed to cower as well, with their guns and all.

 

` Pathetic! Not even worthy to be apart of our corporation.' Sesshoumaru thought venomously. He was about to take the situation into his own claws, when the sounds of females reached his ears.

 

Inuyasha took note of the bulky creatures at the front, whether ningen or youkai. They radiated power, and their weapons promised indefinite pain. There were a number of them but Inuyasha was never one to be intimidated. He turned towards his youkai half-brother and saw him preparing himself for a fight. Inuyasha's hackles rose and he was also about to take the initiative but the sound of fierce voices abruptly stopped him.

 

Miroku was reaching for his cursed hand with his kazaana when he heard,

 

“ What the fuck do you think your doing?!! Coming into a club and shooting innocent people...quite rude you know.” Rang the sassy voice of a woman.

 

“Yeah you know, screaming people and chairs thrown around is definitely not good for the vibe in here.” The second one retorted, her voice dripping with sarcasm, while gesturing to the scene around them.

 

The third one alleged, tauntingly. “Exactly. I think these big boys should be taught a lesson, ne?”

 

It was them. It was Acid Rose.

 

They were as well dressed in pure black attire. There faces were either half covered up, whether it be the bottom or the top. The one that made the first remark was in a rather impressive stance with her sword like knives placed in separate hands and pointed at the gentlemen threateningly. The one in the demon slayer outfit made the second remark, and her boomerang was ready to be thrown. Lastly, was unmistakably the miko with her bow and arrow poised to hit its target.

 

Inuyasha took this time to try and trace their scents, but to no prevail with them masked up. He remained stark still and ready to intervene if the need reared its ugly head. Sesshoumaru also tried the same thing as Inuyasha but even his youkai senses could not trace their scent. His mission was to eliminate them, but clearly they did not want to harm anybody except the new group that so rudely came in. Sesshoumaru, with all intentions good, did not try to assassinate them this time.

 

` I shall see what these meager ningens are capable of first hand.'

 

Laughter immediately broke out from the offensive strangers. The corpulent man in the front spoke up first. “ So the rebellious ladies wish to play?...” His low voice drawled out.

 

“ Damnit they aint worth liftin' a finger! `Cept for a good fuck.” Another one slurred out. Laughter once again ran through the gang. A snarl ripped through Inuyasha's throat and Miroku was about to respond back angrily.

 

` These beautiful ladies should not be treated that way you inconsiderate dickheads!' But re-thought making that statement. ` Kami, what do these girls think they're doing?...' Miroku looked towards the said girls and saw their disgusted faces. Well as much you can see of their faces with both masks and dark black eyeliner.

 

“ Well I think the only solution is to kill `em and then rape `e-” Immediately he was cut off.

 

“Okay that is fucking enough!! We shouldn't even be listening to this damn shit!” The one with the boomerang screeched, red hot with anger.

 

The woman with the arrow tightened her grip on her bow. “Agreed. I'm past being disgusted by these bakas.”

 

Lastly the one with the ninja swords murmured, but loud enough for the onlookers to hear.

 

“Ready or not here we come...”

 

Immediately there was an explosion of power from the sacred arrow piercing some of the bulky men's arms and pinning them to the wall. Gunshots were heard everywhere. The slayer and the ninja, flipped towards them doing round offs and the demon slayer swung her boomerang yelling, “ HIRAIKOSTU!!” Knocking out the burliest of the men and swinging sidekicks to the ones that were charging at her.

 

There was a mini crowd of men circling around the ninja. She counted them. “Kami, I'm out numbered, wherever shall I go, whatever shall I do...” She dropped onto her hands and swung her legs around hitting them in the faces and throwing them backwards.

 

A couple of the youkai headed quickly to the miko, trying to at least take her down. “ HA! Better not move or else I'll purify your asses!!” Most of them stopped but two foolish ones continued. She slapped her hand on them and a burst of energy erupted, not enough to purify them but to send them hurtling into the walls effectively knocking them out. She did the same to the others youkai trying to challenge her.

 

Ningen and youkai next swarmed around the slayer, she swung her Hiraikostu around successfully knocking most of them unconscious, and to the others she landed powerful and amazing punches into their faces or stomachs. A couple of youkai then again tried for the ninja.

 

The ninja swung her elegant knives around impressively and slicing deep cuts, but not so deep as the entirely cut off, the arms most of the rushing people around her. Suddenly a youkai grabbed her from behind and brought his talons up to her neck. “ Now what' cha got pretty slut?” Breathed the sadistic low voice of her captor.

 

The ninja gave a feminine snort and gripped the captor's hand and swung him over her back, smashing him to the ground pointing one ninja sword at him and pinning his neck under her shoe.

 

“That's what I got.”

 

Throughout this entire charade, Inuyasha, Miroku and Sesshoumaru were shocked stupid. Of course Sesshoumaru not revealing this emotion. Solely three ningens were able to bring down near fifteen youkai and other humans. These foolhardy females were outstanding. The slayer and miko were finished with taking down their opponents and literally disappeared into the darkness, all traces of them gone. The female ninja was the only one left with the youkai pinned under her shoe.

 

The unearthly woman was certainly about to vanish as well, but not before throwing down a rose and adding,

 

“Courtesy of Acid Rose fuckbag.”

 

And escaped.
