09: Killing Off the Bastards

Inuyasha's POV

"You better find a way to get them back before Sesshoumaru tears you to pieces. Really, I couldn't care less, but I have to think about poor Izayoi..."

The wenches damned words keeps echoing through my head. Just when I think my life was already screwed, Kouga just had to come and jack everything up even more.

'When I get my fucking hands on that kid...' I think as I devise a way of killing off Shippou without anyone knowing. 'Maybe, I can cook him and eat him and no one would find out...'

Not only do I have to deal with the damn wench and the whore, but now I have to worry about Sesshoumaru trying to cut something off, that is, if he could. 'That wolf better cough up those CDs before I introduce him to my little friend.' And I smile all too knowingly as a plan devises in my head. It included a lot of screaming and shoving and yelling and pain and begging for mercy and maniacal laughter and scrutinizing pain... Did I forget to mention an assload of screaming like a little girl? The victim of course, not me. Like I would...

I round the corner and finally catch a whiff of the damned kitsune. 'Good, he's close. Now to choose one of the torture plots...'

As I near the scent, I notice some feminine scents along with the houshi's. 'Damn it! Witnesses! If they see, then they'll know how Shippou mysteriously disappeared from existence...' I finally figure out that they're by the park and start jumping in the trees to hide myself from view. When they pass by, I see Shippou, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Ayame. Kirara and Ayame are laughing while the monk looks like they've ganged up on them. Sango tries to look uninterested and Shippou just tries to hide his smile. He won't be smiling for long...

"So, houshi, how exactly did you say Koharu blackmailed you into going to a movie with her?" Kirara asks trying to pry out more answers from the already cherry-face monk.

"I didn't say she blackmailed me, per se. She just wanted me to do a favor for her since I owed her one."

"Right, monk, and how exactly did the favor go?" Ayame says as she pokes more fun at him.

The monk sighs, defeatingly. "She says she wants to go out for one night since I promised her when I was in secondary school that I would take her out when she was older. I had forgotten about it since it was so long ago and I've made many promises to the females." Suddenly, he turns to Sango pleadingly. "My dear Sango, would you be so kind as to help me out of this?"

"Yeah, sure, when I become dumber than mud. I am not your keeper, houshi-sama. It is your own fault for being so, so... hentai-ish... and for being you."

"But Sango, dear...?"

"Shove it, houshi-sama. You're talking to a deaf ear."

"Well, in that case, you wouldn't mind if I ask you to bear my-"

Sango punches him to the ground. "I've told a zillion times, NO! Now keep your distance." Sango starts walking off as the other three soon follow in suit, laughing their heads off.

I finally find it a good chance and swoop down behind Shippou and grab him before jumping away as quickly as I had come. The others are too busy to notice anything, and the monk is still KO'ed to know. I leap up to a roof of a fancy tourist restaurant and hold the runt up by his collar.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't beat the hell out of you right now?" I growl.

"I-Inuyasha! I didn't do anything!" he whimpers.

"Not good enough, runt."

"W-What did I do?" he says panicky.

"Don't play dumb. You LET Kouga get hold of Sesshoumaru's fucking CD'S!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO TO YOU IF I DON'T GET THOSE DAMN THINGS BACK!?!?!?!"

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha! I didn't mean to! I didn't know that they were Sesshoumaru's! Please don't hurt me!"

"You have three seconds to convince me to not just skin you and use you as my own personal sword polisher."

"Kagome would hate you if you did..."

"One..."

"Uh, because I'm your friend."

"Two..."

"Uh, uh, because... because I love you!"

"Oh, FUCK! What the hell is wrong with you?! I don't even wanna look at you! You disgust me!" I release Shippou and seek out for something on the roof to thrash and vent my nerves.

"I didn't mean it like that Inuyasha! Please, don't be mad. I didn't mean anything by it. I like you as a friend, not like Jakotsu likes you. Please don't hurt me!" I turn around to see Shippou kneeling on his knees, holding his head, begging for forgiveness.

"Give me one good reason why I should forgive you runt? Do you know what my life feels like right now? I got a whore who won't leave me alone, I gotta marry that damn wench just because my grandma wants to make my life a living hell, and now I gotta deal with Sesshoumaru coming after my ass. And that's thanks to you, goddamn it!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know those were Sesshoumaru's CDs. If I'd known, I wouldn't have let Kouga borrow them. I could make it up to you. Just tell Sesshoumaru that I let Kouga borrow them and you won't be in trouble with him."

"Damn it, runt! That ain't the problem. If he found out that I let one of you borrow them without his permission, then that'll make it even worse. I'm not even supposed to have them."

"Well, then maybe I could them for you without Sesshoumaru knowing that Kouga had them."

I eye the kitsune suspiciously. "And how exactly are you going to do that?"

"I can disguise myself, and he wouldn't even know that it was me."

"Tell me more about this plan, and maybe you'll live long enough to get to see college, maybe.”

Shippou tells me of his plans, and I see fit to them.

"So you get it?"

"Yeah, sounds alright to me. Just don't let wench know that you did that. I don't want any blame for this because of your mistake."

Shippou nods. "Alright. Now, can we please get off this roof? I don't like it up here."

"Whatcha afraid for. You're youkai. You shouldn't be scared of heights."

"It's not that. It's just that the other might worry since you just snatched me up without anyone's notice."

"Keh, whatever."

We jump off the building and run up to the three girls and one pathetic monk. "Oi! Wait up!"

"Hey, Shippou, where did you go? One minute you're there, the next you disappear. Oh, hey, Inuyasha. Didn't see you there," Kirara says as she also makes notice of me along with Shippou's mysterious absence.

I watch as Shippou shuffles his feet nervously. "I didn't go anywhere special. I was just, just looking for something back there when I saw Inuyasha, is all. I didn't do anything..."

"Whatever. Inuyasha, we were going over to the mall to meet up with Rin and Kouga. Wanna join us?"

"Why not. Not like I got anything else to do besides hang out with girls, a perv, and a mangy wolf."

"Hey!"

"Not you Ayame. I'm talking about that pathetic excuse for a youkai." For some mysterious reason, I see Ayame pouting, but I shake it off.

“So why are we going to the mall? Don’t you have anything better to do than this?”

“I wouldn’t expect someone like you to understand what a simple trip to the mall to do a little of shopping would satisfy us. You don’t have to come if you think we’ll bore you with our idea of having fun, you know.”

“Keh! Whatever.”

“What do you expect, Inuyasha? They’re all girls, after all, well, except for me and Miroku.”

I look down at Shippou. “Oh, really? Then why are you coming with them, Shippou? Surely, a guy has more things to do than just fool around with girls and a perv.”

Shippou starts blushing furiously as I grin evilly. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m here because I want to be and because someone’s gotta keep an eye out for the monk. Is it so wrong to be out with friends?”

“No, guess not. So why’s the monk here in the first place?”

Miroku tries looking all cutesy and innocent. “Surely, Inuyasha, you jest.”

“Wanna try me?”

He sighs. “I merely wish to help the girls with their shopping. No one could possibly have a better eye with shopping than me.”

“Yeah, that’s because you look too hard, for starters. You’re also a hentai. Then there’s the fact that you have no other life mission but to grope girls’ asses and beg them to bear your children. Let’s not forget that...”

“That’s enough, Shippou. I think we all get your point,” Miroku states. I guess he doesn’t want to lose anymore face in front of the guys.

Shippou looks up at him with big eyes. “But it’s true. The list just continues on forever and ever and ever…”

“You are so cruel.”

“Like I said, monk, nobody gives a fuck.”

“So why are you coming, Inuyasha, since we seem to be boring you with wanting to go to the mall? I thought you were going to go with Kagome to the shrine.”

“Keh! Who said I wanted to? Besides, that wench will just find another excuse to use that damn incantation on me and throw me across the city.”

“Ah, I see. You’re scared of Kagome,” Sango concludes.

I glare at her. “Hell no! I ain’t scared of no one! Especially that wench!”

“So you’re scared of the talisman then,” Ayame says as she nods with understanding.

“Why would I be scared of a flimsy piece of paper?!”

“Maybe because this piece of paper can make you submit to Kagome whenever she pleases?” Kirara asks.

“Y’all really piss me off, ya know that?”

Miroku pats my back. “Do not worry, my friend. This is something that we all must deal with sooner or later. To seek the path to recovery, we must all admit our fears and troubles. This is all part of life, even for youkai and hanyou.”

“Fuck off, hentai-houshi.”

Miroku sighs again as he looks rejected. The girls just laugh.

We finally reach the kami-forsaken mall and see Rin.

“Hey, guys! What took you so long?”

“Sorry we’re late Rin. We kinda lost Shippou and Inuyasha came along as well.”

“Hey! You make me sound like five year old. I did not get lost. I ran into Inuyasha and we talked before coming here.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’m just messin’ with ya. Besides, I just got here myself.”

“Went Fluffy hunting, eh?”

Rin blushes. “You make it seem like a bad thing,” she pouts.

“I swear Rin, you’re obsessed,” Ayame points out.

“What’s wrong with being obsessed with a cute Fluffy-sama? I know lots of girls that do it.”

“Yeah, but no one’s as determined as you, especially when you start threatening the others off with your youki.”

“Leave me alone. It’s not my fault they don’t know how to take a hint.”

Kirara sighs. “Mais bien sr. Since Kouga isn’t here yet, let’s go window shopping before he comes, d’accord?”

“Sure. That should give us some time before lunch, right?”

“Oui. Let’s go!”

“I think me and the guys are gonna wait here for Kouga, right Shippou?”

Shippou gives me a weird look and it takes for me to growl at him before he takes a hint. “Oh, right! Yeah, we’ll wait at Wacdnald’s.”

I grab Miroku’s shirt before he’s able to sneak away. “That includes you, houshi.”

He hangs his head at his defeat. He watches as the girls walk off before turning back to me. “Why, Inuyasha? Why!?”

“Quit your blabbering, monk. We’ve got work to do before that scrawny wolf gets here.”

“But, Inuyasha. Do you know how much this is going to cost me? The girls are shopping for clothes, Inuyasha, clothes!”

“And I care why?”

“Because I do. Do you know what this means? The girls will be running around trying on clothes that fit just in the right places and I won’t be there to see it.”

“Stop complaining and listen, Miroku. This is more important than your fantasizing over the girls in clothes. We got a plan to get back Sesshoumaru’s CDs without anyone else knowing.”

“Oh, you found out where they are? That is good to hear.”

“You didn’t let me finish.”

“Oh, is there something wrong?”

“Yeah, Kouga has the damn CDs, and I know he ain’t gonna give them up easily if he finds out that I need them back.”

“Kouga, you say? Hm, most interesting. So, how will you get the CDs back from him, Inuyasha?”

“That’s what I’m about to tell you if you'd shut your damn mouth.”

“My apologies. So, what shall I do to assist?”

I growl at him and he tries to wave it off. “We’re gonna trick Kouga into handing them over freely. That way, Sesshoumaru won’t know about anyone else having his CDs. And the wench will get a little surprise if all goes right.”

“Kagome will be part of this? How? I thought she went to the shrine.”

“Don’t fry your brain, monk. Think just a little and you’ll be knocked out in no time.”

----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
“Hey, dog-shit! What the hell are you doing here? And where’re the girls?”

I turn to see the dumb wolf walking up to us at Wacdnald’s and growl. “What the fuck are you doing here, mangy wolf?”

“That’s what you should be answering. I’m here because the girls invited me. But why are you here? Surely a dumb mutt like you has a fire hydrant to go piss on.”

I stand up abruptly. “Wanna say that again? I couldn’t hear you over Tetsusaiga coming out of its sheathe.”

“I said don’t you have a fire hydrant to go piss on, mutt-face! Deaf and dumb, eh, mutt?”

I start growling even louder to warn him off when Miroku jumps between us like an idiot. “Enough, you two. Don’t we have some important business to take care of first?”

“Keh!”

“The dumb mutt started it. Anyways, where’s my Kagome? I haven’t seen since yesterday at school and I was pretty sure that she’d be here since the girls are hanging out.”

“She ain’t here, and she ain’t yours, just in case you haven’t listened to what she’s been telling you of late.”

“Shut up, damn cur! Don’t tell me that she ain’t mine because I’ve already claimed. In fact, you smell like you’ve been with her today. Where is she?”

“None of your damn business.”

Kouga comes up to me and grabs my collar threateningly. I smirk. “What the hell have you done to my Kagome?!”

“She ain’t yours, and she ain’t my responsibility so back off.”

“Inuyasha! Kouga! Stop fighting!”

We both turn to find Kagome running up to us with an angry look on her face.

“Kagome! You’re here!” Kouga says as he releases me on the ground.

“Whoopdy-fucking-doo,” I say as I watch Kouga try to show off for Kagome.

“Kagome, I knew you’d be here. It’s so good to see a goddess again.”

“Well, thanks, Kouga. Anyway, Shippou told me that you borrowed my CDs. Do you have them?”

“What kind of CDs?”

“I think most of them were hard rock and heavy metal.”

“Oh, yeah, I have them. But I can’t believe you listen to that kind of music.”

“What’s wrong with that kind of music?”

“Nothing, Kagome. This just makes me feel even more sure that you’re the mate for me. It means that we have more in common.” If I wasn’t mistaken, the scrawny-ass youkai looked even more in love with the wench, and that was enough to make me gag. “Just one thing before I give them back.”

Kagome smiles brightly. “What’s that?”

“A kiss, before I go.” Kagome’s smile immediately turns into a pale and grotesque grimace.

“A… A kiss? From me?” she squeaks

Kouga nods dumbly and Kagome gulps. “Oh, al-alright.”

She slowly walks up to him and tries to quickly give him a kiss on the cheek. She’s too slow and he turns in time to catch her lips in a small, chaste kiss. Again, I almost gag. Miroku just stands there grinning like a fucking maniac.

Kagome quickly steps away, blushing furiously. Kouga smiles devilishly at his new accomplishment and takes out his CD case and hands Kagome the CDs.

“Th-Thank you, Kouga.”

“My pleasure, Kagome. Well, I think I’ll go look for the others. Wanna come, Kagome?”

“No thanks. I think I’ll stay here.”

“Are you sure? I don’t wanna leave my mate here with a dumb mutt and a perv, unprotected.”

“Trust me, Kouga, I can handle myself.”

“Okay. See ya, Kagome!”

Kagome sighs and comes over to us while Kouga starts running in the mall.

“Impressive, my friend. Impressive, indeed,” Miroku says as she sits down at the booth.

“Yeah, didn’t know you had it in ya. Now that that’s solved and done, give me those CDs before your lips are all over those.”

“Shove it up your asses,” she says as I receive the prize.

“Maybe you ought to change before the others get back.”

“Right. Then I get to have Kirara, Ayame, Rin, and Kouga sniffing me, asking me why I smell like Kouga. No thanks, I’m outta here.”

----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
“INUYASHA!!! ” I hear Kagome bellow above everyone else in the school yard. It’s just five minutes until school starts and I’m heading to my locker.

“What the--? What the hell does she want with me?” I ask Shippou and Miroku. They both shrug.

I finally see Kagome marching down the hallway and her miko aura is flaring up dramatically. “Inuyasha! What the heck did you do?!”

“What do you mean what did I do?”

“Why in seven blazing hells is Kouga saying HE KISSED ME?!!”

Shippou squeaks and I elbow him unnoticeably. “Why are you asking me? You should know if you had your lips all over him.”

“I ask you because he says that YOU saw ME kissing HIM! Tell me why that is so?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. The time I’ve seen you do anything is do nothing but lie around on your ass in my house, so don’t accuse me of anything.”

“Hey, dog-turd! Why are you lying to my woman?! I know you saw me kiss Kagome at the mall so stop lying! Tell the truth.”

“Still don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I confess! Kagome didn’t kiss Kouga. Inuyasha made me do it!” Shippou suddenly yells. Immediately, ways to kill off the kit come into mind as I’m ready to shred the kid.

“Inuyasha made you do what, Shippou?” Kagome asks.

“He made me transform and make me kiss Kouga to get back Sesshoumaru’s CDs.”

“You did what?!”

“I kissed Shippou?!”

“You let someone else borrow This Sesshoumaru’s CDs?”

I turn around to find Sesshoumaru standing right behind me. ‘Oh, shit! Oh-fucking-shit!’

I suddenly high tail it out of there as Sesshoumaru speeds up behind me with Kouga chasing as well while Kagome’s trying to whip out her incantation in time enough before I reach out of range.

I’m almost across the school grounds when Sesshoumaru appears next to me and tries to cleave my head off. I dodge and look in time enough to see Kouga’s attack to jump up before he planted the kick right in my chest. I laugh at the two and their useless attempts of revenge. “Can’t you two do better than that?!”

“There’s no need to,” Kouga says, smirking.

“What?!”

“Osuwari!”

‘Damn it! I doomed! I’m fucking doomed,’ I think before I hit dirt.

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Dead Inuyasha for dessert! HA!

Sorry guys, but it turns out that I wasn’t able to finish all my stories in time enough. In fact, I was only able to revise all of this story and write this one chapter. I’m sorry. I know I promised, but I’ll make it up to you guys, alright? Please forgive me. But I was working on my stories over the break. It’s just that I kept reading Torrent and Chronicles and Metamorphosis the first week in between editing and typing, and then after Christmas, I was hooked onto my PS2 because I got two new games and couldn’t stop playing. Then, when I was planning on typing that last weekend, my uncle had a seizure 45 minutes after New Years’ hit so I had to stay at my aunty and cousins house until he was released Monday, so sorry. Don’t worry, he’s fine and back home with me, so no need to worry too much. But sorry. I’ll try to get this one and my others done by next week. Until then… JAA!
