Coastline addictions

~~~

 

“ No, I'm not bullshitting you. That teacher can spit up to thirty desks back; so do not sit in the front row. Unless you want a free shower...” Miroku affirmed, before shoving chopsticks into his mouth, which held scrambled eggs at the tip.

 

Rin, Sango and Kagome grimaced in disgust. After unceremoniously waking up the peacefully, sleeping teenagers in the basement with a loud cry of `Food!!' Rin served breakfast on the family room table. The television was currently turned on, displaying a show nobody seemed quite interested in, and the group of six friends enjoyed a hearty meal. Miroku and Inuyasha were warning the three girls about all the staff in their school. Also declaring the status of students.

 

“Smokers and drug fuck-ups hang out near the gym, that's for sure. Been there plenty of times...” Inuyasha added impassively. Kagome shot him an accusing glare before he threw his hands up in defense. “Only kidding! But I have been there once or twice...”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and shoved chopsticks into her mouth. “How about Kikyou and her `crew',” Sango asked.

 

Miroku shrugged and responded. “Well...Kikyou's a miko, even though that's hard to believe. Yura...she's an obsessive freak of a woman. Kagura...well she's a bitch too...and has wanted to fuck Sesshoumaru since forever.” The said youkai bared his fangs at the thought. “Oh yeah...Kikyou used to go out with Yash here...” Miroku finished. Inuyasha scoffed and gave his infamous `Keh'.

 

“She was...how you say...a gold-fucking-digger bitch.” Inuyasha growled out, before angrily shoving food into his mouth. Sesshoumaru made a sound of indignation.

 

“Nevertheless you were pathetic.” Inuyasha belted him in the arm while growling loudly.

 

“Shut up asshole!”

 

Miroku sighed and continued. “ Alright, now going onto Kouga-” Inuyasha snapped his head facing the three girls.

 

“Don't ever go near the wimpy wolf!”

 

“He and Inuyasha here hate each other.” The houshi finished.

 

Rin laughed out, “ Kind of figured.” Kagome and Sango nodded and sweat dropped. After the hanyou calmed down he went back to eating.

 

Suddenly Kagome quipped rather sarcastically, “And from what your telling us...you guys are one of the most popular in the school, ne?” Miroku and Inuyasha nodded conceitedly.

 

With a mouth full of food the hanyou asked, “By the way who made breakfast...it's really damn good.”

 

Rin beamed triumphantly and gave a radiant smile. The ninja began her commentary, appearing as if she was advertising a product. “Arigato! And of course no chef is complete without an assistant. Sess over here was a huge help, with his almighty youkai powers he grabbed what I couldn't reach and stirred the rice.” Rin teased while scooting over beside Sesshoumaru on the couch and raised his powerful arm in fake triumph. Sango and Kagome broke into laughter while clapping, as Miroku clapped as well. Sesshoumaru's eye ticked as he wretched his arm away from a playful ningen girl.

 

While Inuyasha was clapping he wiped away an invisible tear while declaring, “Oh Sessie-chan I'm so proud!” Sesshoumaru's palm sizzled as his poison whip was released and aimed for Inuyasha, though just in time the hanyou leapt out of the family room running down the halls, the youkai brother hot on his heels.

 

~~~

 

Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru dropped the three girls off at the old shrine. The girls gave ecstatic wave of hands and the two silver-haired inu brothers bid good-bye as well.

 

“C'mon jackass that wasn't so bad...you gotta admit it was better than a damn lonely night.” Inuyasha nagged at his brother. Sesshoumaru remained facing the front while driving and snorted crossly.

 

“ Hanyou, you are just saying that for you want the miko to return.”

 

“Keh! How about you and Rin? Don't think I miss those looks you give her.” Inuyasha retorted, folding his arms and smirking.

 

Sesshoumaru's eyes shot towards his brother and he growled foreboding, “ Do you have a death wish?”

 

Suddenly, the youkai's cell phone rang and he checked the device while keeping one hand on the wheel. He sighed and flipped the cover. “Hai?”

 

Inuyasha's ears caught Miroku's voice and his brother's reaction. His elegant eyebrows dipped and he gave a curt farewell while flipping the cover and placing the phone into his pocket. Sesshoumaru abruptly turned the steering wheel.

 

“ We are required to make a detour.”

 

~~~

 

Miroku was leaning on the hood of his car when the Taisho brother's car came into view. He adjusted his jacket as the waves crashed behind him sending a refreshing spray upwards, sparkling mystically. The port was small and no cars were parked nearby, only a couple around the rundown warehouse, a short ways down the dock. As the silver car stopped and parked, it revealed Inuyasha, with the expected scowl and Sesshoumaru, platinum hair billowing like silk. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon as the ominous aura reigned over the solitary warehouse.

 

“So, the idiots in there?” Inuyasha asked roughly, jerking his clawed thumb over to the decrepit building.

 

“Hai, and our mission is simple, get the hostages-”

 

“Why is this not to be dealt by the police?” The youkai interjected sternly.

 

“As I was saying...we are supposed to get the hostages and retrieve the answers on how some of the Taisho Company's money was embezzled, to purchase drugs, right under our noses.” Miroku answered.

 

Inuyasha's heavy brows raised and his older brother's narrowed. “How come nobody fucking told us?” The hanyou questioned gruffly.

 

“Well I told you didn't I? C'mon I think the hostages are a priority too, I was warned that they were using fucking children for their sick pleasure on testing a new concoction with the use of cocaine.... whoever they are.” Miroku spat out hatefully.

 

With this news, Inuyasha grid his fangs. Sure their mission had to do with their company's money, but fuck, damn kids? If Inuyasha stood for anything, it was not being okay with the abuse if children.

 

Sesshoumaru seemed to take this to heart as well, and though not as caring as his otouto, there was an unexplained unease with the situation. Promptly he let his feet start their travel to the disheveled warehouse.

 

Inuyasha looked towards his brother a surprisingly found him continuing onto the building. A half-second later he regained his composure and gestured for his friend to follow. The winds blew roughly in a sign of warning and the waters held no sympathy, the waves crashing harshly against the shoreline. The three young men examined the building lethally, expertise visible as they dodged the seeing eye of the hidden surveillance camera. Stealthily, they moved towards the rusticated door, formulating tactics in their minds as to how they would bombard the building

 

Miroku held his metallic gun at the ready, eyes darting around quickly not muttering a single word. With amazing skill he went unseen under the camera. Inuyasha followed behind the houshi claws poised. Though he carried a gun as well, claws were more efficient to his youkai nature. Sesshoumaru also held his claws up, equipped. When they reached the doors Inuyasha motioned with a jerk of his head after sniffing effectively around the area, that the coast was clear and they were able to get in. Sesshoumaru went first, pushing open the door silently followed by the hanyou and monk. Once the door closed with a jolt, a gust of sawdust whirled up slicing through air as complete and utter darkness had befallen over the three.

 

Their senses clouded, nothing could be seen but thick, inky black. “Shit...I can't see a thing.” Miroku muttered.

 

Sesshoumaru, seemingly unafraid seeped poison out of his claws to reveal an eerie glow, as a preparation for an ambush as well light for the temporarily blinded houshi. The stoic youkai turned towards his comrades, the sickly green glow illuminating his face as he spoke lowly. “ We shall see what can be found. This Sesshoumaru will not be intimidated by inferior amounts of darkness.”

 

Bewildered about the lack of any security, Inuyasha scouted around the area, his inhuman vision spotting old boxes and sawdust everywhere. The warehouse was pretty large. “Oi bastard, you can't say that you're not a little confused about this place not having an alarm or something...” The dog-eared hanyou growled out.

 

“That's because we disabled it.”

 

His gun was cocked as Miroku turned with lightning speed, holding his aimed weapon towards the voice of the intruders. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha swiveled their heads sending silver temporarily through the air. As the youkai's hand illuminated the open area it uncovered Miroku holding his poised gun to the head of a raven-haired young woman, her eyes open and unblinking under her mask as the kiss of dangerous metal was held to her temple.

 

Miroku realized who it was and eyes opened wide in shock, he was about to lower his gun when a targeted kick was swung on his hand. The attack knocked the weapon out of the houshi's hand and it went skirting rapidly across the dirty floor. The next figure to be shown was the youkai slayer, her leg being swung down as her half-masked face was shown.

 

“Hey, we aren't the enemies here! We most likely showed up for the same reason you are judging by the way you snuck into this warehouse from outside.” She whispered feverishly, jerking her thumb to supposedly where the door was located.

 

“You girls miss me?” Suddenly the expected sixth party guest arrived, clad in black and half of her face covered. It appeared as if she fell down from the ceiling as the ninja landed beside the first raven-haired miko.

 

`Acid Rose'

 

Oddly enough, when Miroku, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had a good look at the three females, said girls undistinguishable faces turned wary. They regarded the three males with cautiousness and an unexplained shock lit up like a light bulb in each one of their beautiful eyes covered with dark black make-up. Quickly regaining composure their throats were cleared as they once again put on masks of indifference and began preparing weapons. Sesshoumaru, being the calculating one, noted this.

 

Inuyasha, paying no attention to their earlier actions, growled deeply as he stepped forwards in front of the three girls. “What the fuck do you think you're doing here?”

 

“To save the hostages and bust the criminals is all.” The miko responded nonchalantly readying her bow and arrows.

 

“Matte! How did you...when did you...” Miroku tried to question but his words tripped over themselves.

 

The black-haired ninja began speaking sternly. “We have no time to waste. I found a passageway earlier and that might lead to something but first...” Her next words were said precautious as she gave one look to her companions. “...Who are you?”

 

“Recruits with the royal enterprise of Taisho, most powerful taiyoukai in all of Japan. Now, simpletons, give us one excusable reason as to why we should not kill you now.” Sesshoumaru warned, his deep voice dripping with malice.

 

Inuyasha smirked at his brother's threat. Even though these women were stunningly pretty, they were the ones that he was ordered to get rid of. In a non-verbal agreement he cracked his hands, giving an intimidating display of his deadly claws.

 

`It really will be a damn sin to kill them.'

 

Miroku on the other hand did not agree with their terrorization. In defense he stood before the three taken aback girls.

 

“Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, I will not condone this choice of action. Be reasonable, they've done nothing to us, and besides finding out how our money was stolen, they're here for the same reason as are we. And if they promise to never discuss this meeting again...” The monk said this part while facing the wide-eyed ningens. “...There is no harm done.” He turned once again to face the frustrated inu brothers.

 

“Miroku, you damn lecher we were ordered a hit on these wenches! You've got to be fucking kidding me!” Inuyasha growled out indignantly at his best friend's stupidity.

 

Miroku paid no heed to the hanyou's outrage and continued. “Are we agreed?”

 

The older inu youkai released a low growl before snapping his platinum head to the side. Inuyasha huffed out gruffly.

 

“Keh. Wenches...”

 

The houshi gave a relieved sort of smile at turned to fully face the female ningens expectantly. The youkai slayer spoke up, her voice wavering a bit, “Okay...we swear as to never speak of this again.” Her voice gained more confidence. “But we came here for a reason...can you tell us where the passageway is?” She continued directing her question at the ninja.

 

The beautiful ninja nodded and brushed past the two youkai. She gave a small cough, “Um...I'm going to need your light.” She questioned tentatively, her eyes flicking towards the taiyoukai's hand. Sesshoumaru sighed and with a blank face came up to tower directly over her. The others watched anxiously, Inuyasha with him arms crossed strongly over his chest sporting a scowl. The petite ninja kneeled down and with the light provided, felt the ground for the latch she found earlier.

 

`Taisho...the number one known and most intimidating gang in Tokyo…probably even Japan......I can't believe this...shit I can't be thinking about this right now. Continue searching...' Rin thought to herself while feeling around the dirt-covered ground.

 

In a matter of moments the ninja made a sound of accomplishment in the back of her throat as she tightly curled her fingers around the latch. She yanked it open stealthily and instantaneously a dim but healthy light made an opening to a stone staircase. It smelled like sewage, the stones looked wet and you were able to hear the filthy water dripping.

 

“Bingo...” Kagome murmured.

 

Sesshoumaru recollected the seeping poison into his claws and headed first down the winding, sodden and ominous stone staircase. The smell of sewage, tears and drugs immediately flooded his senses. He turned back towards his brother who was following second and apparently the smell invaded his nose as well for it was scrunched and his eyes showed irritation.

 

“Yeah I can smell it too. That way...” He pointed a clawed finger to one of the tunnels. The three women came next each one grimacing at the stench of waste, and Miroku backed them up. Torches lit up the tunnels, casting eclipsing shadows.

 

“Well, just another horror movie.” Sango stated, involuntarily moving closer to her adoptive sisters.

 

“Stay close,” Inuyasha muttered deeply continuing down the fire lit tunnels.

 

Kagome raised her eyebrows skeptically. “Mou, first you want to kill us now you want to protect us? I thought I was bipolar.”

 

Inuyasha eyed her while still facing forwards and growled. Something about them was familiar. She kept her eyebrows raised expecting an explanation. Kagome never received one. Suddenly, Sesshoumaru stopped and Rin bumped unceremoniously into his back at the abrupt halt. Voices were heard.

 

In the next second booming, malicious laughter flooded their tunnel and as the six strangers surreptitiously made their way. Childlike yelps of discomfort were heard as the three members of Acid Rose flinched. Once they stopped all together, their tunnel allowed a clear view of a rotunda like room, a stream of sewage flowing on the bottom. The stench of drugs, salty tears and unrecognized mixtures plagued each youkai's sensitive nose. Twelve large and perceptively dangerous male youkai stood about the room, some mixing putrid smelling fluids in barrels, others standing guard and even some taunting and threatening the six small children, huddled and trapped against one of the corners that adorned the room. They were filthy, tears evident and looked malnourished. It was a revolting scene.

 

Each youkai was clad in black and fully armed. Every few moments or so, they would laugh cruelly at the children. The six onlookers could not take watching any longer when two youkai advanced on the ningen children crouched in the corner, holding the foul smelling mixture in a glass in one hand and a packed bag of cocaine in the other. The miko rushed out into the open furiously and shot her arrow fiercely hitting the advancing youkai in the back and searing into his skin, purifying him into oblivion. The contents that he was holding crashed to the floor, next to the whimpering kids.

 

Everything in the room ceased. Not one sound was uttered as each of the remaining enemy youkai turned to face the seething priestess.

 

One of the deadliest youkai spoke up with a malevolent leer that adorned his face.“ Konbanwa, young miko. What brings you here? Oh! I see you brought some friends, why don't you all join us.” He held up his talons wickedly and lunged forwards.

 

“ SANKON TETSUSOU!” Suddenly, Inuyasha appeared in front of Kagome his claws at the ready and struck the youkai, sending a bloody but not dead body flying across the underground lair to crash against the stonewall.

 

There was a thunderous uproar and each youkai charged forward. “Go help the whelps!” Inuyasha ordered to the young miko behind him.

 

“Hai!” She bolted from behind him, just as the hanyou made an attack at a bull youkai.

 

As Sango and Rin made to follow their sister to help the cowering children when a furious youkai came heading to attack them. Caught off guard they stood frozen until a searing poisonous whip came slicing through the two enemies. Sesshoumaru landed in front of them and sunk his claws into the next stampeding demon. The two females took this as a cue to leave and ran after Kagome.

 

Miroku was in the distance battling a furious youkai, shooting his gun which held morphine to execute a youkai. The said youkai was taken down in an instant. The three ningen females had reached the frightened children in the meanwhile. They were crying loudly in panic as they watched the bloody seen before them. Acid Rose covered their view.

 

“Shh, it's okay. Kowaku na, we'll get you out of here in one peace.” Sango hushed while taking hold of two whimpering kids, who held on to her for dear life. She turned towards the ninja and miko who were ushering the remaining whelps.

 

“Ochitsuke,” Rin soothed to a little ningen girl and boy. “ We're the good girls around here.” She scooped up the little girl and let the boy ride on her back.

 

“You're going to see your parents real soon” Kagome promised while doing the same maneuver as Rin. Once they were all prepared they bolted for the tunnel the six of them originally came through. Kagome being the last of them shouted back, “We'll meet you outside the warehouse!”

 

“JUST GO!” Miroku bellowed while once again shooting with frenzy.

 

As the girls fled the last of the youkai were taken down. Demonic blood oozed out into the stream. All but one, who Sesshoumaru shoved roughly against the wall for interrogating.

 

“Who stole the money from Taisho? How?” The inu youkai demanded, pupils narrowing to barely seen slits as his claws dug into the flesh of his neck.

 

The youkai wheezed, “ The dawning of Kumo's Scar is upon us...” And his eyes rolled to the back of his head in death.

~~~

 

The sky was dark when Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Miroku threw open the beat up old doors of the warehouse. The waves nearby were still heard but had toned down to an almost peaceful manner. Bitter blood adorned their clothing as they steeped out into the cool night air. Without even turning a corner Acid Rose was waiting with anxious faces. When spotted they breathed out sighs of relief.

 

“You wenches alright?” Inuyasha asked, appearing unconcerned.

 

“Yeah we're fine. They kind of fell asleep after speaking to us.” Sango replied gesturing to the sleeping whelps on their backs and in their arms.

 

“Apparently they live in the orphanage a little ways away. I guess we'll take them there, get the police to sort out this mess.” Rin offered, while hitching up the ningen boy on her back.

 

“My ladies, wait! We need to know how...where...why…” Miroku unsuccessfully tried speaking once again.

 

“What the monk means that with this appearance you are spared. Next time we cross paths, we shall not be so lenient.” Sesshoumaru interrupted, narrowing his icy amber eyes.

 

“ Not exactly...” Miroku muttered.

 

“Before you go, I just wanna check something...” Inuyasha said, while stepping forwards. Their concealing scent was slowly fading and with a closer look he might be able to catch or smell a distinct profile.

 

Though not one to be fooled, Acid Rose slowly backed up and the miko fervently said their farewells. “Well okay, it was nice seeing you! Also our mouths our closed about this and the kids are safe! Ja ne!” And with that they disappeared.

 

Inuyasha scoffed, “Keh!” He crossed his lean arms over his chest and started catching up with his retreating comrades, “I'm going for a shower.”

 

~~~

Kumo = Spider
