Chapter 5: Motly and Crue: To the Gang Meeting!
Maggie was worried out of her skin. What if the e-mail hadn't worked? Although her reasons were plausible enough; she didn't want the two of them to rip each other apart on the dance floor when they really loved each other deeply, but she also didn't want to get caught. It could mean that she would be exposed, not that that was a bad thing, she was board with staying hidden after all, but to be exposed at this time would put her in a bad light, especially if Kagome had anger-for-Inuyasha energy stored up. No matter how much she had pleaded with Shirro not to make her go, he would not relent, after all she was his assignment and that meant he had to do as ordered with concern to her. Shirro was the son of the family taking care of her as an exchange student. He was also a member of a gang call the Souaga, and they were meeting with her tonight. It seemed that their leader, a guy call Tougasai wanted to meet with her because of her ability to hack into computer main frames like a hot knife through butter. Apparently he was thinking of hiring her for some top-secret operation thingy he was trying to pull off. Maggie didn't know if she would except or not but one thing was for sure, tonight was going to be a living hell.

“Oh Kagome, you look beautiful!” Mrs. Higurashi was practically screeching with excitement as her punk rock daughter descended the stairs looking like a princess.
“Yah, okay mom.” The dress that Kagome was wearing was a deep forest green that would have looked black save for it was off set by a trail of black lace flowers crawling up one side to her hip. The dress was low cut and revealed a little more cleavage than she was used to. Her mother had taken her to a salon down town an hour earlier insisting she get her hair done. It now hung in long curls from the French knot at the base of her slender neck.
“Beep, beep, beeeeep!” A car horn sounded from outside the driveway.
`Finally” Kagome thought exasperated. Making her Mother happy was all well and good, but when her mom was cooing and prodding and straightening, that was when she drew the line.
“Wait!” Mrs. Higurashi yelled just as Kagome was about to leave.
“What is.. Ahh!” A camera flashed once, twice, a third time.
“ Okay, you can go now.” Mrs. H smiled evilly as she quickly hid the camera.
***************************************************************** *************
As Kagome walked down the sidewalk to the driveway, Sango jumped out of her pink jag and ran to meet her friend half way. She was wearing tight red leather pants and a black tube top with a silver chain gracing her neck as her auburn hair fell in curls from the ponytail at the back of her head. Black suede boots clicked along as she ran,
“Wow, Kag! You look hot!”
“Umm…thanks.” Kagome blushed with embarrassment.
“Come on, let's go!” Sango grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the car.
***************************************************************** *************
Togasai Hino leaned against the dirty brick wall of the alleyway, puffing a cig. When was this day going to end? Already he had broken up a few fights on campus, stepped in to observe a few gang deals, and he was still waiting to get word about that chick from the U.S from Shirro.
A rustle in front of the ally caught his attention and his body tensed for any attack.
“Togasai.”
He relaxed.
“What is it Rei, why are you not at the temple?” Togasai rarely spoke to anyone but his closest confidants. Rei, being his sister, was one of the few who received that privilege.
“I thought you would be lonely.” She stated calmly, taking the place next to him on the shadowed wall.
“Hectic day.” He stated mildly, flicking the cig. to the ground and crushing it with a deliberate thrust from his foot. Rei didn't like the smell of cigarette smoke and he knew it. He also knew something was on her mind by the way she absently finger her long black hair every few seconds. It was also obvious she wasn't going to talk either without a little prompting.
“What is it?”
“Hmm.” Rei said in confusion, as if she had been broken out of a temporary trance.
“Something's on your mind, what is it/”
“I can't hide anything from you can I?” She started to pout.
“Hardly.” There was a cold, icy roughness in Togasai's voice that told Rei he was being sarcastic.
She didn't answer right away. Rei was worried about her brother. He was always fighting someone or in with a deal. This next one that was going down, she had a bad feeling about.
“Brother.” She rarely called him that unless she knew he was going to through a fit over what was coming next. Togasai braced himself for the unknown.
“This deal you have with the Wolves.,”
`Yes, come on Rei. What do you want?'
“With the hacking…and…ah..”'oh god I'm stumbleing.'”With Shippo out of commission and all…”
`Yes.' Togasai looked over at her. Black hair shielded her eyes from his piercing gaze and she studied her feet.
“And Shirro finding a hacker…”
“Damn, Rei just spit it out!” Togasai all but shouted. This didn't faze Rei, she understood. He didn't like babbling.
“I want to help you with this deal.” Rei said it so quickly that it took Togasai a little while to process the information right away. When he did, Rei saw his face glow with rage.
“YOU WANT TO WHAT!!!!” He yelled in such a loud voice that Rei was sure everyone within a fifty-mile radius could hear him.
“Togasai…” She was desperately trying to calm her older brother now. “The girl you're bringing in, she won't know anything about us. She's gonna need help, I can do that.”
“No, Rei, that's why we have Shirro.” Togasai was starting to cool down. Rei had a fair enough motive as far as he could tell, and the girl would be disoriented, especially in the beginning. But he had vowed along time ago that he would never mix business with family, and Rei was family. Shaking his head, he sat down on a trashcan across from her.
“That won't be enough, Togasai.” Rei stated dryly. She knew he knew just as well as she that it was true. “It's a `girl thing'.” To her astonishment, Togasai began to laugh.
“Little sister, I believe that you won't stop with this until you get your way. Am I right?”
Rei smiled. “You know the answer to that, Toga” She used his pet name.
“Alright, you may Rei, but don't think I'm going to allow this every time. Now get outa here!”
Rei laughed and ran out of the ally. She knew she win every time.
***************************************************************** *************
Music blared from the load speaker that rested on a messy end table. A silver-haired head bopped up and down to the low bass beat thumping into the enclosed space of the room.
She's a rock n' roll junky (s'how she gets her kicks)
The way she licks her lips (s'how she gets her fix)
Another midnight monkey (where'd you get those kicks)
Just a rock n' roll junky (hey, hey, hey!)
Good old' Montly Crue.
Sesshoumaru sighed and turned off the music he had recently imported from America. He would know the new hacker because she would be dancing with Shirro during this song. Of course, Jita would need to do a little switcher-ru with the music, but at least he would have some idea about what to look for. `Togasai, where do you get these crazy schemes?'
With a groan, Sesshoumaru got off his black bed and walked to the adjoining bathroom. He turned on the water facet and let it run for a time, until it was hot, and looked at the clock. 8:55, five minutes before count down. Sesshoumaru shut off the water, which had filled up the basin of the sink, and dipped his cupped hands into the warm liquid, splashing it onto his face and shaking out his silver locks. He grabbed a brush from the black rim of the sink. This hacker had better be top of the line. She was really cutting into his seclusion time. (Yes Sess has a seclusion time. So do I. It's so that I don't go crazy because of everyone around me!) Sesshoumaru look once again at the wall clock and sighed. 9:01. Show time.
***************************************************************** *************
When Shirro and Maggie arrived at the dance, things were well underway. Maggie had chosen to ear a simple outfit composed of tight fitting blue jeans and a flowing silver shirt that had bell sleeves and exposed one of her pale shoulders; enhancing her pale blue eyes. Black leather boats encased her small feet and made her legs look slim. She wore no make up and had a high pony on the back of her head. To saw it bluntly, she looked like a pale angel about to be fed to the demons of darkness. This was only furthered by the fact that many of the quote “club” groups were giving her lusty or hateful looks from the back of the gym.
`I hope we don't go back there.' Maggie thought with a shiver. She had never liked gangs very much and tried to avoid them whenever possible. `And look at me now, I'm about to become a hacker for one, how ironic.' The reason she had agreed to even consider joining was because Shirro had told her how necessary it was for them to get a hacker and quickly. Many lives were riding on this deal.
Shirro noticed Maggie staring at the back “clubs” and become paler then normal. `Poor kid.'
Maggie was lost in though, mostly of how many ways she could escape the gym (zero!), when she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her middle and draw her back against a hard chest.
“Chin up kid.” Shirro said softly and hugged her closer to him. She was terrified, he could feel it. “You'll be fine, just don't speak unless spoken to and let me do all the talking.” She nodded her head, but her color didn't improve, “She's 15, that's way too young…but we need the help. Still, I don't like it.”
`Why is he hugging me?' Shirro showing her kindness was even scarier than the looks she had been receiving from the `evil shadow people' in the back. But for some reason, she felt a little better now.
“Those aren't our people.” He said in the same calming voice. “My group's not here.” Shirro hoped this would stop her worrying, but it had the adverse effect. Immediately she stiffened in his arms and tried to pull away. “Did I say something wrong?”
***************************************************************** *************
Maggie felt an instant flood of relief when she heard Shirro say that they won't be staying here, at least she figured that much out. Her jubilant thoughts were interrupted, however, when across the room to the other door she saw Kagome enter with Sango. `Shit, damn, fuck, kuso…” Maggie ran through her list of curses from Ass-Shimata and back again. What was Kagome doing here! She wasn't supposed to be here! This couldn't be happening. `That's it! I'm going to die.' Maggie thought despairingly. To make matters worse, a silver glint caught her eye, assuring her to her very bone that Inuyasha was here as well. She had to hide, but Shirro's arms were too strong and he wouldn't let go.
“Did I say something wrong?” His voice blocked her thoughts of escape and she turned in his embrace to look at him. His face was emotionless, but his eyes held pain and sorrow.
“You're too young for this.” He added quietly.
“It's not you.” She tried to assure him, but to no avail.
“No, this is wrong, I shouldn't have let you come here. “ Shirro said in a louder voice. People around them started to notice the argument.
“I'm here on my own accord!” Maggie stated heatedly. It was a half-truth and she knew he knew it, but it was her only defenses. After all, it was she who had agreed to be here, not him. She also hadn't agreed to the “mysterious lover” run around with Kagome and Inuyasha, that had come along for the ride, and she sure as hell wasn't going to tell Shirrro about that!
***************************************************************** *************
She was lying through her teeth and he knew it, but Shirro let it go. The plan was still in motion and he hadn't revived a negative signal yet. How he prayed there would be one. Oh how his luck suffered.
“Rock'n Roll Junky” began to cut through the melodic strains of CHEMISTRY's “It takes Two”, and the people dancing began to boo. The poor DJ was looking frantically around his station, trying to figure out what had gone wrong. Show time.
***************************************************************** *************
Jita Musaki slipped out of the announcer's room. From the commotion he heard coming from the gym, it sounded like his brother, Jito, had disconnected the DJ's power link. Perfect. Everything was going according to plan. Jita checked his watch, 9;12. Pretty soon Sesshoumaru would bring him the girl and they'd all high tail it otta there.
***************************************************************** *************
Shirro dragged Maggie further out onto the floor.
“What are you doing?” She yelled over the commotion.
“Getting us outta here. Now shut up and dance!”
`Well, the kind Shirro has officially left the building.” Maggie thought dryly. `How are we supposed to dance to this music anyway, it's all wrong. And besides it's too strange slow dancing with Shirro.'
Maggie was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that she was no longer dancing with Shirro, but with someone else. This came as a complete shock to her system, especially when she saw silver hair. She couldn't see the boy's face because her head rested against his chest, but she didn't need to.
“Oh god. I'm really going to die now. Inuyasha's going to kill me! How could Shirro hand me over to the Grim Reaper himself!
***************************************************************** *************
Sesshoumaru was very confused by this American girl. She seemed to be dazed and not in tune with her surroundings. This departure of emotion so blatantly presented, startled him. He had never encountered a human or demon that could ignore him as well as this mere slip of a girl could. He must've been dancing with her for a full five minutes, waiting for the signal from Shirro of course, before she stiffened in his arms. Her ora became one of fear as she tried to back away from him. `Kuso' he thought. `Where is that baka Shirro?!?'
A light hit the corner of his eye. It came from the right. With inhuman speed, Sesshoumaru lifted the frightened girl over his shoulder and ran for the exit in that direction.
***************************************************************** *************
Maggie was surprised to say the least. Not only was she as good as dead, but now he was taking her outside to do it! Could her life get any worse?
***************************************************************** *************
Jita was leaning against the brick wall of the building when the door next to him burst open. Sesshoumaru ran out and Jita quickly shut it.
Maggie was shocked. So were the two males. Here was a girl who had been carted off the dance floor like a sack of potatoes and not once had she made a noise.
Sesshoumaru had dropped her none to gently on her behind and started for the black Sedan waiting for him. Still the girl didn't say anything. Only when the car door had been shut did she burst out laughing. Jita couldn't believe it, this girl was crazy!
