InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harmony Parking Lot ❯ Gang Warfare ( Chapter 10 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A/N: Sorry for the delay. Life has been pretty chaotic lately. Drama knows no boundaries, let’s just say that the Inu gang and their music venue aren’t the only chapter and venue facing hardships. This one believe it or not isn’t based off of Johnny Hobo! Shocking I know…Nope this time I went with Major Accident and their song Gang Warfare. By the way I urge my readers to look up the bands I mention in my fics. If you want to know what real “punk” is then you best be checking them out yo. Even though I might be doing a taboo by exploiting the life a little…oh well I have fun with it and I’m anonymous so none of my chapter can give me shit what they don’t know can’t embarrass me! MUAHAHAAH. >< Sorry for my ramble you know how I get…SO, ON WITH IT ALREADY!
I felt right at home being shoved in the back of that god damn cop car. It brought back some blurred memories. Miroku was completely silent and obviously pissed at me, but refuses to let me in on why. Hojo and Kouga were the only two who didn’t get picked up from the club and if there is anything to be glad about it is the fact that the girls weren’t there.
The cops just came blazing in with guns drawn and declined to tell why we are being arrested which is against our rights, but the cops really don’t give a shit about rights. They kept saying “It’s a matter of national security.” Or some bullshit like that. Sometimes I really do wonder what I would be doing if I hadn’t flipped that coin. Eh, I would still probably be heading for a jail cell.
When we got to the police station they shoved us out of the car and rushed us into processing then split us up and took us into interrogation rooms. It really set in that this was bigger than anything I’ve ever been caught for and the shit part is I don’t even know what we’ve been caught for. They didn’t do a giant search investigation like they would for drugs.
As I sat on the cold chair a woman in business suite and a Federal Agency badge came in.
“Your name is Inuyasha Takahashi correct.” She is the stereotypical female agent she spoke stern, was uptight, obviously sexually frustrated and needed a good fuck.
“Yeah. What the hell is this about?”
“I’ll be the one asking questions.” Stereotype through and through.
“Alright.”
“You’re in deep trouble Mr. Takahashi. All of you domestic terrorists upsetting the government without a care for the innocent civilians.” Domestic terrorist? Why does the name Sesshomaru somehow come to mind.
“Alright, let’s get things straight. I’m not a terrorist and as for my political views on this country, we are one step from becoming a police state! The countries leader is a self proclaimed fascist! But all I do is talk the talk…I don’t go blowing up buildings or use force to get my points across.” They weren’t that big of buildings anyway…what’s a white lie they never caught me. Ha! That could be it the church that I tried to burn down when I was fifteen, but they would have told me that I was being arrested for attempted arson …and they wouldn’t bring agents in would they?
“Then why has your brother been spotted going to your home!” She whipped out a picture from her manila folder that she had in her arms. I looked down and saw my brother right outside the front door of the club. God damnit I knew that he would somehow fuck all of us over. Why does no one listen to me?
“He got a hold of me. Look I’m in no way associated to his wacked out group and am not part in any of their exploits. The only reason they came to my place was because my girlfriend for some reason wanted to get to know them.”
“You’re going to go away for a really long time and you will be in a maximum security cell if you don’t cooperate.” Nice scare tactics. Bitch.
“What are you going to do with my friends? The only reason they know Sesshomaru is because of me.”
“Once we have questioned them and if they answered correctly they will be released. So how bout you be a good boy. Do you know anything about an upcoming mission?”
“They haven’t done anything yet then? I don’t know what they are up to.”
“I cannot disclose that information. Let’s just say there are reasons to be concerned with the member’s whereabouts.”
“So basically you are following them around and dragging my friends and me into this all on the premise that the government is paranoid.”
“Just make it easy on yourself, tell us what they are up to and you go free.” Why am I protecting him? I know about how they infiltrated the government.
Hours went by and I still wasn’t going to give up anything. No matter how much I hate Sesshomaru, I hate this government even more. The woman was getting exhausted and frustration had dominated her face. She looks uglier when she is pissed.
“JUST TELL ME WHAT YOUR BROTHER PLANS ON DOING!” She screamed.
“For the last time I DON’T KNOW!” I’m getting so sick of this. I want to go to sleep in my nice comfy and warm bed. I cuddled my head in my hands. While my head was down I heard the door open and a guy began talking to the woman. Apparently whatever they were talking about pissed the girl off because she stormed out of the room.
“Hey, Inuyasha.” That’s a voice I recognize. I looked up and saw Jankotsu. Great.
“You’re the last person outside of my brother that I want to see right now.”
“But Inuyasha…come on. You must be glad to see me. You’re way too pretty to go to prison.” Oh god, if I ever wind up in prison because of this please don’t let me be sent to the same one as him! I don’t want to drop the soap while he’s around!
“Why are you here?”
“Just get up.” He yelled letting out a wink and a smile while his back was facing the two way glass.
“What?”
“You are being released.” Jankotsu lifted me out of my chair and escorted me out of the room. At one point I think he grabbed my ass…but I’m going to ignore it for now and beat him up the next chance I get.
“What about the others?” I asked.
“I was able to convince the police that they are just innocent bystanders. They are in the car.”
“And Kagome?”
“Ugh…why must you bring HER up. Your hair is so soft!”
“JANKOTSU!”
“She’s fine. They didn’t pick her up or that other chick.”
We got into the car and Jankotsu drove us back to the club. Sesshomaru is fucking dead! I’m going to cut him up into a thousand pieces for this shit! Now I realize why Miroku was pissed.
Everyone was exhausted and looking like death. We went up to the pad and then split off. I went into my room and flopped onto my bed almost instantly falling asleep.
When I woke up it was only nine in the morning, but I couldn’t fall back asleep so I went out to the fridge grabbed a can of pop and fell onto the couch. I was greeted by Hojo who slumped down in the chair across from me.
“What happened?” Hojo asked with an innocent look of a little kid.
“Sesshomaru fucked us over with his visit. The government is tracking him and therefore, all his associates. I would be careful on the phone and be careful about my whereabouts. Everyone seen exiting this building will be under surveillance.”
“Oh… what are we going to do about it?” Hojo’s face had turned stern he didn’t look anything like his old goofy looking self.
“Come on Hojo. What the hell are we to do? It’s the government all we can do is watch our steps and hope they get bored and go away. In the meantime we don’t let Sesshomaru or any of the others anywhere near us.”
“But it’s bullshit! Maybe, we should listen to Sesshomaru.” NO. Not Hoagie too! Is there no sanity left in this place!
“Hojo the hell are you thinking! Sesshomaru seeks a world of youkai. YOU ARE A HUMAN and You’re still in high school and have a life ahead of you do you really want to throw that away?”
“I can’t live in this world of bullshit anymore.”
“That world of bullshit has guns what do you have?”
“An idea.”
“Idea’s don’t protect you from bullets. I thought that out of the entire group you were supposed to be the smart one.”
“Yeah, I am and that is why I can’t ignore this.”
“You know you’re going to get yourself killed.” I shook my head and leaned back onto the couch.
Hojo got up and was about to head for the door when he turned back and replied, “You know that it takes one shot to bring about revolution.”
Never had I seen him so serious. It was chilling. He is throwing his life away for this. In a way I’m proud of him, but the other part of me knows that if he goes through with this I’ll be seeing him in the morgue. What can I do? If the police don’t kill him the demons in my brothers group will. I can’t watch as my brother gets another one of my friend’s killed.
After talking to Hojo it dawned on me that Kagome has no idea what happened, I don’t even know if she is really safe. I quickly got up and began the walk to the bus stop. As I walked I kept glancing behind me, I was completely paranoid. I knew I was being followed, but where I couldn’t tell. I have to warn Kagome and make sure she’s safe, but if I’m being followed... As long as we stay below the radar everything will work out.
The bus was late and all I could think about was being watched. I felt like a conspiracy theorist that thinks the entire world is out to get them, but with what’s been happening it really is like the world is out to get me. Because of Sesshomaru I haven’t even been able to play my guitar and now it seems like the club is doomed to close down.
I sat in my own world contemplating the series of events. Well who said life was easy? I don’t even want to think about what fun surprise lies around the next corner. Thinking about the future is dangerous right now.
The bus stopped and I kept looking behind me all the way until I reached her front door.
I took a deep breath before knocking. I don’t even know exactly what I should say when she opens it. When it did open I only saw a flash and then Kagome was hanging around my neck.
“I’m so glad you’re ok!” She cried.
“So you heard huh.”
“Miroku called me when the police showed up. Sango and I have been sitting here worried all day.”
“You guys should have gone to school.” Come to think of it Hojo should’ve gone too.
“No one told us anything! I was up all night waiting for a phone call.” We walked inside her house and I saw Sango on the couch and she jumped too only after the look of happiness came only the pain of a fist on my cheek resided.
“You idiot! You guys had us worried!” Sango shouted, but then hugged me.
“Alright...I need to talk to you guys. The kit is gone right?” I gently pulled Sango off and took them over to the couch.
“Yeah, Rin picked up Shippo and when I told her about what Miroku had told me she became really out of it and left in a big hurry.”
“You can’t see them anymore Kagome. The government is watching all of us because they are trying to figure out what Sesshomaru is up to. If they catch wind about Jankotsu and Bankotsu and the fact that we knew. We will be fucked.”
“I wasn’t even there. So I don’t know anything.” Sango said trying to find her own loophole.
“You know us. That’s enough for the government.”
“What do you mean we’re being watched?” Kagome inquired her face growing pale.
“I mean wire tapping, photographing. The whole works. But if we remain low and stay out of contact with that entire group and show that we have nothing to hide then I thinks we will be ok.”
“I’m sorry Inuyasha; it’s all my fault I asked them to come here.”
“Hey, it’s not your fault.” I just tried to warn you, but noooooo. Again no one ever listens to me.
“I should have listened to you.” THANK YOU! But it’s a little late for that.
“Shoulda, woulda, coulda,didn’t. Since that’s taken care of what are we going to do?” Sango interrupted.
“Continue going about our regular routine and try to be law abiding citizens. Which means no drugs, and for you guys no drinking; just don’t do anything that will bring attention to us.” Just saying those words put a bad taste in my mouth…no drugs…how will I live!
“NO DRINKING!! It’s one thing when my friends are taken away and sent to jail, but it’s another thing when I can’t drink!” Sango yelled so loud that Kagome had to tackle her to make her shut up since her grandfather and brother were home.
“I know. But right now our main goal is to stay out of the way just until they catch Sesshomaru.”
“What would happen to Shippo?” Kagome asked.
“I’m not sure. He would probably be sent to a juvenile facility of some sort or an orphanage.” I shrugged.
“But he is just a little kid.”
“Yeah, but he is Sesshomaru’s mini. He may be a kid to you, but he sure as hell isn’t an innocent one.”
“Do you have no compassion at all?”
“Not when that group has brought us nothing but trouble!”
“But it’s not Shippo’s fault!”
“Really who lured you into the woods so Sesshomaru could kill you? You always over look that fact!”
“Well if you had heard them out maybe they wouldn’t have used that bluff!” Great I come to try and protect Kagome and instead we wind up fighting. Sango just silently inched her way out of the line of crossfire.
“A bluff! You barely even know them, I do and bluffing is something they just don’t know the meaning of! Stop being stupid!”
“I’m stupid now! Why just because I don’t want to see an innocent little boy get locked up!”
“For the last time HE ISN’T INNOCENT and he is not a little boy! He is a Youkai! You are trying to protect YOUKAI! So yeah you’re being stupid!”
“You know Inuyasha just…just….SIT!” Fuck. Once again my body was paralyzed and this time I was eating carpet, but not in the good way.
As my body twitched from the implicit pain that it felt from the magnetic force pulling it further into the ground Sota walked in.
“Sis? What happened to Inuyasha?” Sota asked while Sango began to laugh.
“Oh, he just tripped over his big head.”
“His head is pretty big.” Sota said coming closer and looking down at me. I finally regained feeling in my limbs and was able to pick myself up.
“So you think I have a big head, huh, Sota?” I grinned in which he led out a gulp before taking off running. I chased him throughout the house. He is a fast little bastard. When I came back into the living room I had him thrown over my shoulder. I then flung him onto the couch.
“I don’t know what you see in my sister she isn’t anywhere as fun as you are.” Sota laughed while Kagome stuck out her tongue at the direction Sota went before sending her gaze back over to me.
“ANYWAY. I’m getting Shippo and that is that.” Kagome said crossing her arms.
“How are you going to do that? They are probably in hiding.” I scoffed.
“Shippo gave me a number that I can reach them on.”
“Oh come on… you forgot one thing, it’s the government we are dealing with here when you pick up the phone they tune in.”
“I’ve had enough arguing with you. End of discussion.”
“We wouldn’t be having this discussion if you weren’t being manipulated by a little fox demon.”
“END OF DISCUSSION!” Kagome sent a glare at me that made me picture flames rising out of her eyes.
“Ok love birds. So, what you guys want to do now?” Sango said pushing her arms between Kagome and me.
“I should get back to Miroku actually.”
“Are you sure?” Kagome pouted.
“Yeah. Remember don’t change your routine just make sure not to do anything illegal and go to school tomorrow. And Kagome stay away from Sesshomaru’s group.” I hugged Kagome and kissed her then headed for home.
Back at the pad everyone was tense. Miroku wandered around the loft looking like an extra from Return of the Living Dead. While Kouga sat on the couch with his drum sticks tapping away at the table in front of him.
“How is Kagome?” Miroku asked awakening from his daze.
“She and Sango are safe for the time being. But, she wants to hide Shippo.” Kouga stopped drumming and looked up with a perplexed look.
“But then she can be arrested for hiding a fugitive; even if it’s a kid.”
“Yeah. I told her that, but she refused to listen.”
“How are you holding up Miroku?” I asked. I worry about the guy he is usually a giant pacifist and collected, but with the club going down and now the government surveillance he looks like he is out of his mind.
“Dude, I don’t even know. I mean despite the government I still have a business to run and I’m not about to cancel the benefit show.” Miroku let out a grin.
“We have to practice then.” Kouga added.
“Yeah, are Skunk and Hojo still here?” I asked.
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen them all day.”
“Skunks sleeping in Sango’s room and Hojo left about an hour ago.” Kouga replied. Hopefully that kid went home instead of seeking out trouble.
“Well, Hojo will just have to catch up in the meantime let’s get Skunk off his ass and down in the studio.” Miroku smiled then went over to the kitchen. He grabbed a bowl and filled it with cold water then added a few ice-cubes.
Kouga and I looked at each other and in unison got up to follow Miroku to where Skunk was fast asleep.
“Skuuuunkkk. Wakey, wakey.” Miroku said retaining from laughing as we inched our way closer to the sleeping body. Then Skunk’s eyes shot open as cold water splashed onto his chest.
“WHAT THE FUCK!” Skunk jolted and freaked out so bad that he fell onto the ground. The way he reacted from having water poured onto him was more like a cat then a skunk.
He stood shivering and then we noticed what his sleeping preference was. He was but as naked and apparently the water really was cold. He was so cold that his dick was blue and rolled up so high that it could almost be past for a saggy vagina.
“God damnit Skunk, no one wants to see your white ass. Put on some god damn clothes and meet us downstairs.” Kouga said turning away.
Miroku and I followed Kouga downstairs and picked up our instruments and began to tune them while we waited for Skunk to get dressed.
A few minutes later Skunk came in and picked up his bass. Then we could really get the practice started. Miroku had written a new song that he came up with while we were in lock up.
Don't you try to push me around, Or you'll end up eating ground, Don't mess my girl don't mess with me, you’ll be sorry can't you see. gang warfareDon't you tread out on our soil, We're the ones you can't spoilWe're the ones and we're no fools, We're the gang who run the schools.
Gang Warfare….
Repeat.
The song he wrote was fucking amazing. After the rehearsal we jumped down from the stage and were about to take a few drinks from the bar when Hojo rushed in through the door.
“You’re a little late for practice Hojo.” Miroku smiled.
Upon further examination Hojo looked like he had been through hell. His shirt hung loosely while one of his suspenders was dragging on the ground and there appeared to be blood on his collar.
“Fuck man what happened to you?” Kouga asked handing him a drink.
“FUCK HOJO! I told you to stay away from Sesshomaru!” I shook my head.
“No, it’s not like that I wasn’t looking for him honest! There was this girl...” He panted.
“Our little Hojo all grown up. A girl though? I guess I lose that bet” Miroku laughed.
“No! Dude she…she is the one that came after me and when I ignored her she went ape shit!” At that moment everyone began to burst out laughing.
“You got beat up by a girl!” Miroku laughed.
“GUYS! I’m serious this wasn’t any chick!”
“Hojo, why would a girl beat you up because you turned her down?” Kouga said trying to calm his breathing from laughing so hard.
“I don’t know, but she looked really familiar…”
“Hojo you’re so full of shit.” I said going back to drinking.
“I’m fucking serious! I don’t know what that girls issue was, but she was fucking insane.” Hojo finally began to breath normally and plumped down on the bar stool next to me.
“Out of all of us…and Hojo is the lucky bastard that almost gets raped. That chick better look like a diseased wombat or there is no justice in this world.” Only Miroku would day dream about being raped.
“Actually she was pretty hot. She had long black hair a somewhat round face. Killer legs and she had really black eyes. Man….if only she wasn’t insane.” Hojo sighed.
“Say Hojo…where was this girl?” Miroku asked raising his eyebrows.
“Few blocks away…I just know that I’ve seen or met her somewhere…She just looks so familiar.”
“If she is so familiar then why did you ignore her?” Kouga scoffed.
“Well I was kind of gawping at her to begin with and couldn’t think of anything to say to her and in the midst of the silence she just started to freak out.” He shrugged. What a dork.
“Damnit Hojo. Have I taught you nothing?” Miroku said slapping his forehead, “If that girl was so into you and you obviously wanted her that is when you just come out with it and in the smoothest voice you can you go up to her and say, “Let’s cut to the chase let’s fuck.” And that is why Miroku has a hand print almost tattooed on his cheek.
“Miroku…there is a reason why you have to use the stranger on yourself every night.” I laughed.
“Her name is Misty!” Miroku said raising his left hand. Now I have to remind myself never to touch his left hand ever again.
“Well Hojo hopefully your attempted rapist isn’t a stalker.” Kouga smiled.
“I come here for support and all you guys do is make fun of me. Sango and Kagome would understand.” Hojo pouted
“Well duh. You, Sango, and Kagome have the same chromosomes.” Skunk added.
“I give up. I’m going home.” Hojo said turning his back to leave.
“Oh don’t take it like that! Come back her Hojolina! I’ll get you a drink.” Skunk yelled.
“Guys remember government. No drinky for you Hojolina.” Miroku grinned.
“How about an apple juice then?” Kouga laughed.
Hojo came back and glared, but accepted the apple juice that Kouga brought him. The night calmed down from there. Maybe it will turn out alright after all. It better anyway…I can’t take much more of this shit.
A/N: There you have it another chapter completed! Took me long enough, fuck. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I hope you enjoy the story so far it is fun writing about especially since I get the chance to throw in my first hand experience to some of the situations and get to use my group of friends as a reference for the gang in a slight way at least. Later my anti-capital-amigos!
I felt right at home being shoved in the back of that god damn cop car. It brought back some blurred memories. Miroku was completely silent and obviously pissed at me, but refuses to let me in on why. Hojo and Kouga were the only two who didn’t get picked up from the club and if there is anything to be glad about it is the fact that the girls weren’t there.

“You’re in deep trouble Mr. Takahashi. All of you domestic terrorists upsetting the government without a care for the innocent civilians.” Domestic terrorist? Why does the name Sesshomaru somehow come to mind.

The countries leader is a self proclaimed fascist!

“Hey, Inuyasha.” That’s a voice I recognize. I looked up and saw Jankotsu. Great.
“You’re the last person outside of my brother that I want to see right now.”
“But Inuyasha…come on. You must be glad to see me. You’re way too pretty to go to prison.” Oh god, if I ever wind up in prison because of this please don’t let me be sent to the same one as him! I don’t want to drop the soap while he’s around!
“Why are you here?”
“Just get up.” He yelled letting out a wink and a smile while his back was facing the two way glass.
“What?”
“You are being released.” Jankotsu lifted me out of my chair and escorted me out of the room. At one point I think he grabbed my ass…but I’m going to ignore it for now and beat him up the next chance I get.
“What about the others?” I asked.
“I was able to convince the police that they are just innocent bystanders. They are in the car.”
“And Kagome?”
“Ugh…why must you bring HER up. Your hair is so soft!”
“JANKOTSU!”
“She’s fine. They didn’t pick her up or that other chick.”

“But it’s bullshit! Maybe, we should listen to Sesshomaru.” NO. Not Hoagie too! Is there no sanity left in this place!
“Hojo the hell are you thinking! Sesshomaru seeks a world of youkai. YOU ARE A HUMAN and You’re still in high school and have a life ahead of you do you really want to throw that away?”
“I can’t live in this world of bullshit anymore.”
“That world of bullshit has guns what do you have?”
“An idea.”

“So you heard huh.”
“Miroku called me when the police showed up. Sango and I have been sitting here worried all day.”
“You guys should have gone to school.” Come to think of it Hojo should’ve gone too.
“No one told us anything! I was up all night waiting for a phone call.” We walked inside her house and I saw Sango on the couch and she jumped too only after the look of happiness came only the pain of a fist on my cheek resided.
“You idiot! You guys had us worried!” Sango shouted, but then hugged me.
“Alright...I need to talk to you guys. The kit is gone right?” I gently pulled Sango off and took them over to the couch.
“Yeah, Rin picked up Shippo and when I told her about what Miroku had told me she became really out of it and left in a big hurry.”
“You can’t see them anymore Kagome. The government is watching all of us because they are trying to figure out what Sesshomaru is up to. If they catch wind about Jankotsu and Bankotsu and the fact that we knew. We will be fucked.”
“I wasn’t even there. So I don’t know anything.” Sango said trying to find her own loophole.
“You know us. That’s enough for the government.”
“What do you mean we’re being watched?” Kagome inquired her face growing pale.
“I mean wire tapping, photographing. The whole works. But if we remain low and stay out of contact with that entire group and show that we have nothing to hide then I thinks we will be ok.”
“I’m sorry Inuyasha; it’s all my fault I asked them to come here.”
“Hey, it’s not your fault.” I just tried to warn you, but noooooo. Again no one ever listens to me.
“I should have listened to you.” THANK YOU! But it’s a little late for that.
“Shoulda, woulda, coulda,didn’t. Since that’s taken care of what are we going to do?” Sango interrupted.
“Continue going about our regular routine and try to be law abiding citizens. Which means no drugs, and for you guys no drinking; just don’t do anything that will bring attention to us.” Just saying those words put a bad taste in my mouth…no drugs…how will I live!
“NO DRINKING!! It’s one thing when my friends are taken away and sent to jail, but it’s another thing when I can’t drink!” Sango yelled so loud that Kagome had to tackle her to make her shut up since her grandfather and brother were home.
“I know. But right now our main goal is to stay out of the way just until they catch Sesshomaru.”
“What would happen to Shippo?” Kagome asked.
“I’m not sure. He would probably be sent to a juvenile facility of some sort or an orphanage.” I shrugged.
“But he is just a little kid.”
“Yeah, but he is Sesshomaru’s mini. He may be a kid to you, but he sure as hell isn’t an innocent one.”
“Do you have no compassion at all?”
“Not when that group has brought us nothing but trouble!”
“But it’s not Shippo’s fault!”
“Really who lured you into the woods so Sesshomaru could kill you? You always over look that fact!”
“Well if you had heard them out maybe they wouldn’t have used that bluff!” Great I come to try and protect Kagome and instead we wind up fighting. Sango just silently inched her way out of the line of crossfire.
“A bluff! You barely even know them, I do and bluffing is something they just don’t know the meaning of! Stop being stupid!”
“I’m stupid now! Why just because I don’t want to see an innocent little boy get locked up!”
“For the last time HE ISN’T INNOCENT and he is not a little boy! He is a Youkai! You are trying to protect YOUKAI! So yeah you’re being stupid!”
“You know Inuyasha just…just….SIT!” Fuck. Once again my body was paralyzed and this time I was eating carpet, but not in the good way.
As my body twitched from the implicit pain that it felt from the magnetic force pulling it further into the ground Sota walked in.
“Sis? What happened to Inuyasha?” Sota asked while Sango began to laugh.
“Oh, he just tripped over his big head.”
“His head is pretty big.” Sota said coming closer and looking down at me. I finally regained feeling in my limbs and was able to pick myself up.
“So you think I have a big head, huh, Sota?” I grinned in which he led out a gulp before taking off running. I chased him throughout the house. He is a fast little bastard. When I came back into the living room I had him thrown over my shoulder. I then flung him onto the couch.
“I don’t know what you see in my sister she isn’t anywhere as fun as you are.” Sota laughed while Kagome stuck out her tongue at the direction Sota went before sending her gaze back over to me.
“ANYWAY. I’m getting Shippo and that is that.” Kagome said crossing her arms.
“How are you going to do that? They are probably in hiding.” I scoffed.
“Shippo gave me a number that I can reach them on.”
“Oh come on… you forgot one thing, it’s the government we are dealing with here when you pick up the phone they tune in.”
“I’ve had enough arguing with you. End of discussion.”
“We wouldn’t be having this discussion if you weren’t being manipulated by a little fox demon.”
“END OF DISCUSSION!” Kagome sent a glare at me that made me picture flames rising out of her eyes.
“Ok love birds. So, what you guys want to do now?” Sango said pushing her arms between Kagome and me.
“I should get back to Miroku actually.”
“Are you sure?” Kagome pouted.
“Yeah. Remember don’t change your routine just make sure not to do anything illegal and go to school tomorrow. And Kagome stay away from Sesshomaru’s group.” I hugged Kagome and kissed her then headed for home.
Back at the pad everyone was tense. Miroku wandered around the loft looking like an extra from Return of the Living Dead. While Kouga sat on the couch with his drum sticks tapping away at the table in front of him.
“How is Kagome?” Miroku asked awakening from his daze.
“She and Sango are safe for the time being. But, she wants to hide Shippo.” Kouga stopped drumming and looked up with a perplexed look.
“But then she can be arrested for hiding a fugitive; even if it’s a kid.”
“Yeah. I told her that, but she refused to listen.”
“How are you holding up Miroku?” I asked. I worry about the guy he is usually a giant pacifist and collected, but with the club going down and now the government surveillance he looks like he is out of his mind.
“Dude, I don’t even know. I mean despite the government I still have a business to run and I’m not about to cancel the benefit show.” Miroku let out a grin.
“We have to practice then.” Kouga added.
“Yeah, are Skunk and Hojo still here?” I asked.
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen them all day.”
“Skunks sleeping in Sango’s room and Hojo left about an hour ago.” Kouga replied. Hopefully that kid went home instead of seeking out trouble.
“Well, Hojo will just have to catch up in the meantime let’s get Skunk off his ass and down in the studio.” Miroku smiled then went over to the kitchen. He grabbed a bowl and filled it with cold water then added a few ice-cubes.
Kouga and I looked at each other and in unison got up to follow Miroku to where Skunk was fast asleep.
“Skuuuunkkk. Wakey, wakey.” Miroku said retaining from laughing as we inched our way closer to the sleeping body. Then Skunk’s eyes shot open as cold water splashed onto his chest.
“WHAT THE FUCK!” Skunk jolted and freaked out so bad that he fell onto the ground. The way he reacted from having water poured onto him was more like a cat then a skunk.
He stood shivering and then we noticed what his sleeping preference was. He was but as naked and apparently the water really was cold. He was so cold that his dick was blue and rolled up so high that it could almost be past for a saggy vagina.
“God damnit Skunk, no one wants to see your white ass. Put on some god damn clothes and meet us downstairs.” Kouga said turning away.
Miroku and I followed Kouga downstairs and picked up our instruments and began to tune them while we waited for Skunk to get dressed.
A few minutes later Skunk came in and picked up his bass. Then we could really get the practice started. Miroku had written a new song that he came up with while we were in lock up.
Don't you try to push me around, Or you'll end up eating ground, Don't mess my girl don't mess with me, you’ll be sorry can't you see. gang warfareDon't you tread out on our soil, We're the ones you can't spoilWe're the ones and we're no fools, We're the gang who run the schools.
Gang Warfare….
Repeat.
The song he wrote was fucking amazing. After the rehearsal we jumped down from the stage and were about to take a few drinks from the bar when Hojo rushed in through the door.
“You’re a little late for practice Hojo.” Miroku smiled.
Upon further examination Hojo looked like he had been through hell. His shirt hung loosely while one of his suspenders was dragging on the ground and there appeared to be blood on his collar.
“Fuck man what happened to you?” Kouga asked handing him a drink.
“FUCK HOJO! I told you to stay away from Sesshomaru!” I shook my head.
“No, it’s not like that I wasn’t looking for him honest! There was this girl...” He panted.
“Our little Hojo all grown up. A girl though? I guess I lose that bet” Miroku laughed.
“No! Dude she…she is the one that came after me and when I ignored her she went ape shit!” At that moment everyone began to burst out laughing.
“You got beat up by a girl!” Miroku laughed.
“GUYS! I’m serious this wasn’t any chick!”
“Hojo, why would a girl beat you up because you turned her down?” Kouga said trying to calm his breathing from laughing so hard.
“I don’t know, but she looked really familiar…”
“Hojo you’re so full of shit.” I said going back to drinking.
“I’m fucking serious! I don’t know what that girls issue was, but she was fucking insane.” Hojo finally began to breath normally and plumped down on the bar stool next to me.
“Out of all of us…and Hojo is the lucky bastard that almost gets raped. That chick better look like a diseased wombat or there is no justice in this world.” Only Miroku would day dream about being raped.
“Actually she was pretty hot. She had long black hair a somewhat round face. Killer legs and she had really black eyes. Man….if only she wasn’t insane.” Hojo sighed.
“Say Hojo…where was this girl?” Miroku asked raising his eyebrows.
“Few blocks away…I just know that I’ve seen or met her somewhere…She just looks so familiar.”
“If she is so familiar then why did you ignore her?” Kouga scoffed.
“Well I was kind of gawping at her to begin with and couldn’t think of anything to say to her and in the midst of the silence she just started to freak out.” He shrugged. What a dork.
“Damnit Hojo. Have I taught you nothing?” Miroku said slapping his forehead, “If that girl was so into you and you obviously wanted her that is when you just come out with it and in the smoothest voice you can you go up to her and say, “Let’s cut to the chase let’s fuck.” And that is why Miroku has a hand print almost tattooed on his cheek.
“Miroku…there is a reason why you have to use the stranger on yourself every night.” I laughed.
“Her name is Misty!” Miroku said raising his left hand. Now I have to remind myself never to touch his left hand ever again.
“Well Hojo hopefully your attempted rapist isn’t a stalker.” Kouga smiled.
“I come here for support and all you guys do is make fun of me. Sango and Kagome would understand.” Hojo pouted
“Well duh. You, Sango, and Kagome have the same chromosomes.” Skunk added.
“I give up. I’m going home.” Hojo said turning his back to leave.
“Oh don’t take it like that! Come back her Hojolina! I’ll get you a drink.” Skunk yelled.
“Guys remember government. No drinky for you Hojolina.” Miroku grinned.
“How about an apple juice then?” Kouga laughed.
Hojo came back and glared, but accepted the apple juice that Kouga brought him. The night calmed down from there. Maybe it will turn out alright after all. It better anyway…I can’t take much more of this shit.
A/N: There you have it another chapter completed! Took me long enough, fuck. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I hope you enjoy the story so far it is fun writing about especially since I get the chance to throw in my first hand experience to some of the situations and get to use my group of friends as a reference for the gang in a slight way at least. Later my anti-capital-amigos!
