Chapter 4: From point A to point B

Inu Yasha started to awaken just as the sun was beginning to rise. He blinked his eyes a few times trying to rid them of sleep. Yawning and stretching he sat up and looked out of his window. `On time as usual' he thought slipping out of bed. He headed straight for the bathroom to brush his teeth. Once that was done, he went to the kitchen to fix a quick breakfast. Inu Yasha never liked to cook; so more than likely he would have a frozen breakfast meal. He grabbed his cell phone as he opened the fridge and dialed Miroku's number. Pulling out the box, he closed the door and removed the food tray. He set the time on the microwave just as the ringing stopped and the line was picked up.

"Hey, Miro get up," he spoke loudly into the phone.

Sleepily Miroku replied, "Yes Inu Yasha, thank you."

Inu Yasha hung up the phone and placed his frozen meal inside the microwave. He pressed start and went back to his room getting his clothes for the day. Knowing that he had to look professional he decided on wearing a comfortable suit. It consisted of a collarless black shirt, black slacks and a blazer that matched his but would worn later. To complete the outfit, he picked out a pair of dressy black boots. He went and grabbed a pair of underwear and socks. In record time, Inu Yasha was dressed and left the room just as the microwave went off. He threw the blazer over the back of the couch and grabbed his food.

Inu began eating. Walking back into his bedroom, he flung his duffle bag out into the hall and made up his bed. He quickly finished his food and grabbed his suit bag. The bag was placed on the front door hook and the empty tray went into the garbage. Back in his bedroom, Inu Yasha went through double-checking for anything that he might have missed. He hoped that Miroku was up and almost ready by now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miroku climbed out of bed when he hung up his phone. He dragged himself to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. He brushed his teeth and proceeded to get dressed. Once dressed, he moved to the kitchen and grabbed a breakfast bar. While eating, he went to fix his bed and check for anything that he have forgot to pack. He stood in front of the mirror to check his suit. Miroku was clad in charcoal-gray pants, a matching jacket, and a silk purple shirt with a silk black tie. He straightened his tie and finished off his breakfast. Throwing the wrapper into the trashcan next to the sink in his bathroom, he brushed his teeth again. Then he cut off all his lights and closed his bedroom door.

Looking out the window, he saw that Sesshomaru had sent them a limo. He grabbed his bags and walked to the door. Slipping on his shoes, he walked outside. He made his way to the back of the limo when a man in a suit and cap approached him. The man bowed and took the bags from Miroku and placed them inside the open trunk. Miroku smiled his appreciation and went back inside. It was chilly out so he grabbed his long trench coat and hat, put them on and headed upstairs to help out Inu Yasha.

Reaching the door, he knocked once and opened it. He looked inside for his friend but didn't see him. `Must be finishing up' Miroku thought. He grabbed the duffle bag and the suit bag hanging on the door and headed back downstairs. When he walked outside, the driver greeted him again. Again the bags were taken from Miroku and placed in the trunk. Miroku turned around and went back to Inu's place. This time he walked in and Inu Yasha was walking out of his bedroom.

"You ready? I just had your bags put in the limo," Miroku said.

"Yeah, just going to grab my coat," replied Inu Yasha reaching for his long black trench coat.

"Ah, yes, it is chilly so you might want to put your blazer on," he said looking toward the window.

Inu Yasha put his coat down and grabbed his blazer and put it on. Then he put on his coat and plopped his hat on his head. Taking one last look around he nodded to Miroku who headed out the door first. Inu Yasha locked his door then head outside where Miroku was getting into the limo. Before he opened the front door, he chanted his sealing spell and turned into his human form. His eyes changed from a bright gold to a bright hazel green, his hair turned midnight black, he had human ears now on the sides of his head, and his claws were gone. He stepped out the front door and locked it behind him. He made his way to the limo where the driver bowed respectfully and opened the door. Inu Yasha nodded and climbed in. The door was closed and soon they were moving. Miroku sat on the side and Inu directly in the back.

They would reach the airport in no time. Sitting in complete silence, Miroku looked around the vehicle. He spotted a medium sized manila envelope placed on the mini bar near the front. He reached for it and opened it up. Inside were two plane tickets, two pieces of identification, and a letter. He looked over at Inu Yasha who was relaxing with his head back and eyes closed. Miroku cleared his throat.

"Here are our things," he stated waiting for Inu Yasha for pay attention.

"Tickets and Id," he responded.

"Yes and a letter."

"What does it say?"

Miroku read the letter intently. Making sure he read it correctly, he looked up to his partner and spoke.

"He wishes us good luck and safety on our journey. He says to be aware of our surroundings because we will more than likely be followed by Naraku's henchmen. Then it says that he will meet us there in a few weeks and if there is anything we need just call him. That is all."

Miroku folded the letter and handed it to Inu Yasha. The car stopped and the engine was turned off. The driver got out of the car and opened their door. Inu Yasha put the letter along with his ticket and id into his coat and stepped out of the car. Miroku followed suit. Their bags were already on a cart and waiting to be pushed inside. Inu Yasha looked up at the airport and then at his surroundings. Nothing seemed out of place so he continued forward inside. Miroku was right behind him, keeping his eyes and senses open to anything out of the ordinary. The three of them walked over to the luggage claim area. The driver made sure the bags were taken care of and handed Inu Yasha the tags. Inu Yasha nodded and shook the man's hand, slipping him a tip. Once again the driver thanked them both and then departed.

The two businessmen continued on to the boarding area. Neither of them noticed the glances that they were receiving from the women in the area. Riding up the escalator, they heard their boarding call and went right to the gate. They each handed the flight attendant their ticket and showed their id's, Miroku took a bit longer because of the compliments he gave the woman on her uniform. She welcomed them and told them where they could find their seats. They were informed that they would not have to go through the metal detectors. Miroku thanks her while Inu Yasha headed inside the plane to claim his seat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two tall men in dark gray suit walked into the airport, each with one piece of luggage. They wore dark shades that made them look devious. One had medium length brown hair that was caught up in a ponytail. The other had long black hair, which was in one single braid hanging down his back. They kept their eyes on the two gentlemen in front of them. Stopping at the bottom of the escalator, the one with the ponytail pulled out his cell phone and made a call. Once the phone picked up, he began to speak.

"We have spotted them. They are about to board the plane."

"Good. Keep your eyes on them. Report back to me," said the voice on the other end. Then the phone went dead.

The man put his cell phone back into his pocket and rode the escalator with his partner. They reached the gate in time to see Inu Yasha and Miroku walk into the plane corridor. Pulling out their tickets they paid no attention to the flight attendant. They simply walked into the plane corridor following their objectives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inu Yasha took the window seat with Miroku next to him in the aisle seat. He glanced around the plane and saw that everyone was in a suit. The plane was rather small but comfortable. There were two rows of seats on each side of the plane. The aisle was fairly wide, wide enough for two people to walk without squeezing. He once again checked for any evil auras and sniffed for any threatening demon scents but came up empty on both. So he relaxed in his seat waiting for the plane to take off.

Miroku did a once over of the plane, trying to pinpoint anything unusual. He focused on something in the back for a moment but it ended up being nothing. Turning around he took off his jacket and placed it on his lap. Inu Yasha seemed to be drifting off to sleep, so he decided not to bother him. He laid his head back and allowed the humming of the plane to coax him to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two mysterious gentlemen boarded the plane and looked around. Removing their sunglasses, they reveal a little more about themselves. The man with the ponytail had piercing blue eyes that were full of evil and hatred. The other had dark green eyes with a trim of red. They found their seats near the back of the plane. The one with the black hair put both their bags in the overhead compartments and joined his partner in their seats. They looked to toward the front of the plane were Inu Yasha and Miroku were sitting on the opposite side. Relaxing back into their seats the blue-eyed one spoke softly.

"They don't have a clue that we're following them."

"Good thing the boss taught us that concealing spell," replied the black haired man.

"And showed us how to hide our scent. If dog-boy over there even gets the slightest whiff of us, then our cover is blown."

"Well, might as well enjoy the flight, eh Kouga?"

"Right, Jaromaru. Not much they can do in the air," the one named Kouga replied with a laugh.

The captain was making the usual announcements when they quieted down. Soon the plane was moving and taking flight. In two hours they would be at their destination and the show would start. The two pairs of businessmen drifted off into a light slumber, keeping their ears open for anything. They each had their job to do and were determined to do it no matter what the cost. The Shikon no Tama was at stake and neither wanted the other side to have it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inu Yasha awoke to the landing announcement. He elbowed Miroku to let him know him they were there. Rubbing his eyes, he glanced out the window. He remembered the last time he was in Tokyo. It was with Kikyo. Kikyo was his first real love. She was a young, beautiful miko that actually was interested in him. Or so he thought at first. He did everything for her; took her wherever she wanted to go, bought her more jewelry than she could wear, and worshiped the ground she walked on.

But then his perfect world started to crash down on him. She started being more demanding, spending less time with him, and receiving calls at all times of the day from different guys. Sesshomaru warned him from the beginning that she was not to be trusted but he didn't listen, hell he never listened to him anyway. Then one day when he was walking down the street to pick up her present for their one-year anniversary, he saw something that forever changed him.

~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~

Inu Yasha walked down the street from were he parked his car. He was humming a tune and a small smile graced his lips. This was because of Kikyo. Tomorrow was their one-year anniversary and he was going to pick up her gift. `She's going to love it,' he thought to himself. As he turned the corner to go to the jeweler's he happened to look across the street.

Inu Yasha stopped dead in his tracks. There stood Kikyo in the arms of another man, kissing him. Slowly hurt began to fill his heart. He couldn't believe his eyes; there in the open she was cheating on him and not care in the world. Suddenly, he was filled with rage and anger. His eyes were starting to turn red and his fangs and claws were starting to grow. The spell was wearing off and he didn't care. Only thing he wanted at the moment was revenge. He could feel his demon blood trying to take over but he couldn't stop it. It was about to surface when suddenly everything went black.

~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inu Yasha shook his head to rid himself of the memories. He was here on business and only business. No more Kikyo, she was the past. He wondered about the miko, Kagome. She really was beautiful beyond compare. She looked so much like Kikyo but then she didn't. He felt his pulse speed up as he though back to her picture. Inu wondered about his heart, would he ever open it again? `Yeah right! When hell freezes over.' All he had to do was protect the miko and the jewel. No one said he had to actually like her.

The plane touched down with a bump. Miroku looked over to his friend who was in deep thought. He noticed the different emotions that were flashing through Inu Yasha's eyes. He worried about his friend. Ever since that horrible day with Kikyo, Inu Yasha has been so disconnected from everyone. Gods, how he wanted to kill that bitch himself but it wasn't his place. Even the flashbacks of that day made Miroku seethe and want to do bodily damn to that person, not worthy of her title.

~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~

Miroku was driving up the street when he saw Inu Yasha turning the corner. He was about to honk at his friend when he saw him suddenly stop dead in his tracks. It seemed like something was the matter. He quickly found a parking spot around the corner and hopped out the car to get to his friend. When he turned the corner he found an enraged Inu Yasha changing from his human form into his full demon form. Quickly Miroku ran over to his friend trying to calm him down.

"Inu Yasha, calm down please. You spell is wearing off! Inu Yasha!!" But it was no use; Inu Yasha's demon blood was starting to take over. Miroku looked to where Inu's attention was directly and saw the problem.

"Kikyo," he breathed in disgust.

Miroku focused back on Inu Yasha and tried to think of something to calm him before he transformed. Reaching in his pocket, he pulled out one of his sutra spells and said a prayer before slapping it on Inu Yasha's forehead. Inu Yasha was instantly out cold from the spell. Miroku caught his friend by the waist and hefted him back to his car. He struggled for a moment before he finally got Inu Yasha into the back seat. Miroku walked around the other side, hopped in and drove off. He went to Sesshomaru's office, knowing that when the sutra is removed he would be in the same transformation state. Only Sesshomaru could help him now. Miroku pulled into the parking lot and dialed up the Inu Youkai.

"Speak" was the answer from the monotone voice on the other end.

"Sesshomaru, I found Inu Yasha transforming into his demon form on the street. I put him under a spell but it won't last long." Miroku said all in one breath.

"Bring him up." With that the call was ended.

Miroku hauled Inu Yasha's unconscious form out of his car and into the private elevator, thankful that it wasn't a long ride. When the doors opened he walked out with Inu on his shoulders. Sesshomaru stood waiting outside the elevators and began walking down the large hall when it arrived. Miroku followed breathing heavy. Inu Yasha was no lightweight. Sesshomaru walked into a room at the end of the hall and motioned for Miroku to place Inu Yasha on the couch. After doing so, Sesshomaru walked over to the closet and pulled out an old rusty looking sheathed sword and placed it in Inu Yasha's hands.

"Remove the spell," he stated stepping back.

Miroku nodded and removed the sutra. Inu Yasha slowly started to awaken. His eyes opened revealing a pair of amber pools filled with hatred and pain. He rubbed his head and sat up.

"What happened?" he asked, looking down at the weapon in his hands.

Miroku looked at Sesshomaru before he spoke.

"Your demon blood was starting to surface when I saw you. I put the sutra on you and brought you here." He walked over to the chair and sat down.

"What happened to you little brother? What made you so angry?" Sesshomaru asked looking down at him.

Inu Yasha didn't want to answer. He didn't even want to think about it but Sessh had a right to know. After all he did save him.

"I saw Kikyo…with another man," he spoke never looking up.

The hurt was evident in his voice. Miroku felt pity for his friend. He himself wanted to drive back downtown and give that bitch what was coming to her. Calming down, Miroku looked up at Sesshomaru who motioned for him to leave. Miroku understood and left the room closing the doors behind him.

He walked back down the hall and sat in one of the waiting room chairs. Wondering what they were talking about he felt his anger rise again at that woman. Miroku knew that he had to remain calm and be there for his friend in his time of need. He decided to take Inu Yasha out to dinner, to try to keep his mind off of things. Hopefully it would work.

His attention was brought back by the sound of the doors opening. Sesshomaru walked out and straight towards him. He got up and faced the man. Miroku listened attentively and noticed Inu Yasha leaving the room and passing them not bothering to say anything. Having understood what Sesshomaru wanted, he nodded and sat back down to wait for Inu Yasha.

When Inu Yasha walked out of the office, Miroku rose from his chair and followed behind him. Together they rode down the elevator and silence. Once out in the parking lot. Miroku stopped and turned to Inu Yasha.

"Do you need a lift to your car?" Miroku asked.

"No thanks. I'm having it picked up," Inu Yasha said as he turned to leave.

"Well the do you need a ride home?" he asked hoping his friend would accept.

"The limo is picking me up. I won't be home for a while, so your on your own for dinner."

The limo pulled up and Inu Yasha walked up and got inside before Miroku could utter another word. Then it drove off. Miroku was stunned. There was no yelling or cursing or anything. `That's not like Inu Yasha. I wonder what he and Sesshomaru talked about?'

~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miroku hoped that his friend would be ok. It was strange how the miko looked a lot like Kikyo but was much more beautiful. Her eyes looked alive and her smile was dazzling, well in the picture that is. He hoped that she wouldn't bring back too many of Inu Yasha's memories. Maybe Inu Yasha would hit it off with this one. One could only pray and that's exactly what Miroku would be doing.

*well, how was that? do i do good?? please please say i did good, i tried really REALLY hard. i pray you all liked and won't stop reading. buh bye for now*
