Hitchin' a Ride: Chapter Four

 

-1-1-1-

 

Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha all sat on a bench waiting for the tow truck to take Sango's now totaled Mercedes. After twenty minutes of talking with the man with the tow truck, Sango finally got the car on it and away from them.

 

“So, are we ready?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“I sure as the fuck am!” Kagome said. She was still pissed beyond belief, but who could blame her? The very thing that she tried to escape got back into her life and bit her so hard on the ass that her whole body hurt.

 

“Well then c'mon!” Everyone hopped into Inuyasha's red Chevy Cavalier. Kagome was in the front beside him, Sango was behind her, and Miroku was behind Inuyasha.

Kagome looked out the window of the car as they sped through the state. They met Inuyasha in the middle Tennessee, and they were almost to the northern border were it met Kentucky. Then from Kentucky— Kagome's former home— they would get to Ohio. It would be really hard to catch up with them considering that Kagome's mom and Naraku were around four of five hours closer to Ohio than Kagome was to Kentucky when they found out.

 

Miroku and Sango were fast asleep in the back of the car, but Inuyasha couldn't go to sleep because he was driving, and Kagome just couldn't sleep. The thought of an abusive man and a drunken woman having her brother in a car for who knows how long just didn't settle well with Kagome.

 

“Hey,” Inuyasha said. “What's the story with your mom and ex? It don't sound to friendly.”

 

“Well, my mom blamed me and my brother for the death of our father… that's when she started drinking. Then she met this guy at a bar in Louisville, married him the next day about seven years and they're still together. He is a total jerk! He wouldn't let my mom let Sota and me go anywhere because he was afraid we'd rat him out. He was a drug dealer or somethin' like that. Well, then, Mommy dearest hooked me up with another guy she met at a bar, just so she could have fun with him. It's really sick and twisted. I don't know how I stayed all the time I did.”

 

“Well… that wasn't what I expected to hear,” Inuyasha said. “How long ago was it?”

 

“Seven years. I was thirteen when he died. I was thirteen when my mom walked out on me and my brother. I'm taking my brother away from those fuckin' assholes and they are not getting him back!” Kagome had her mind set.

 

“Now that's what I wanna fuckin' hear!” Inuyasha said.

 

“Why? It don't matter to you, does it?”

 

“I don't think anyone should have to go through that shit. I don't know you, or your brother, but I do know someone who went through that shit. If you ask me, any drunken fool that will beat on kids for their sick pleasure needs to be locked away. Anyone who beats on anyone should. It's a crock of bullshit.”

 

Kagome looked at the clock on the radio. It read 4:30 AM. Inuyasha looked at her. “Why don't you get some sleep? You really need it. And I'll have to have someone else drive in a few hours.”

 

“Okay.” Soon enough, Kagome was asleep.

Kagome heard Sango yelling at Miroku and she woke up.

 

“What do you mean it was an accident?” she yelled. “You grabbed my ass, you fuck off!”

 

Miroku sighed. “You got me all wrong, Sango.”

 

“How did I get your hand on my ass wrong?” she screamed.

 

“I didn't mean anything by it,” he defended.

 

“Hey!” Kagome interrupted. “Keep your hands off her ass so I can sleep!”

 

Inuyasha laughed a bit, but not much. Kagome looked at the clock. It read 12:43.

 

“Well I guess I'll just stay up.” Kagome ran her hand through her dark hair. “Where we at anyway?” Kagome asked Inuyasha.

 

“Uh about to Ohio. I think your mom might be pretty close to Toledo by now, though. Why do we have to get them before Toledo?”

 

“Well my grandma lives in Michigan and from Toledo, it wouldn't be as hard to get him. They told Sota that they were going to Toledo, he told Keade, and Keade told me. But I have to get my brother! He's the only thing I have left… and those fucking bastards took him! I knew I shouldn't have left him with them assholes!” Kagome was so pissed that her face was turning red. “Hey, you want me to drive so you can sleep?”

 

“Nah, I got it.” Inuyasha said. “I'm hungry. Wanna go through the drive-through at Wendy's or something?”

 

“Yeah!” Miroku yelled from the back seat.

 

“Fuck! Dude, don't yell in my ear like that, dumb ass!” Inuyasha yelled back. Inuyasha looked at Kagome when she started to giggle. “What?”

 

“You don't look like a guy that would say `dude' is all.” She laughed some more.

 

“Oh, so that's supposed to be funny?”

 

“I want a number five with no onions and extra pickles!” Miroku said. (A/N: I have no clue what a number five is so yeah.)

 

“Okay, what do you want?” Inuyasha looked at Kagome.

 

“Um… hmm… I don't know. A Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger will work.” Kagome got into her purse and pulled out a five. “And a Dr. Pepper. I don't have any smaller change so you can use this to pay part of the rest.”

 

A few moments later Inuyasha pulled up to the drive-through and ordered all food.

 

“Oh, man this is good!” Miroku said. “I haven't ate since yesterday!”

 

“Hey, Inuyasha, let me drive,” Kagome said. “You really need some sleep.” She smiled at him and agreed. “Don't worry I won't wreck it or anything.”

 

He pulled over the car and let her drive. Almost ten minutes later he was asleep. Sango and Miroku started bickering in the back seat and Kagome stopped it real quick. “Hey! Inuyasha just got to sleep and he really needs it! Don't either of you wake him!” Kagome sounded like their mothers the way she was yelling at them.

When Inuyasha woke up, the car wasn't moving and it was almost dark out. The car was off and the keys were still in the ignition, but no one else was in the car. He sat up and looked out of the window and realized that they were at a rest stop in Ohio outside of Cincinnati. He got out of the car and noticed Miroku sitting on a bench by the restrooms.

 

“So you're awake,” he said.

 

“Uh yeah. Where's Kagome and Sango?” Inuyasha asked. He rubbed his head and sat down beside Miroku.

 

Miroku pointed behind him. “Bathroom. You know how girls and bathrooms are… they've been in there for about five minutes now. They voted restroom brake and I couldn't do anything about it. You gotta go?”

 

“Yeah. I'll be right back.”

 

-In the bathroom with the girls-

 

“So what do you think of Inuyasha?” Kagome asked Sango in a semi-serious tone.

 

“Oh he has a really nice butt! And I like his eyes and hair. Why?” Sango looked at Kagome for a few seconds. “Oh! You like him! You like him!” Sango taunted.

 

Kagome blushed. “I think he's cute… well you like Miroku!”

 

“What!” Sango's jaw dropped. How did Kagome know? “No I do not! That's ridiculous! That's absurd! No I don't! Is it that obvious?”

 

Both of the girls laughed. “Yeah, it is. But I think he might not know. I really don't think he does.” Kagome patted Sango on the back. “I think he likes you back.”

 

The girls walked out of the bathroom together, laughing. They saw Inuyasha and Miroku sitting on the bench. “You're up,” Sango stated.

 

“Nice!” Kagome said. “Are you Captain-State-the-Obvious now?”

 

Sango put her hand on her head and one on her hip. “You don't think the hat and uniform would ruin my look do you?”

 

“No,” Kagome said seriously. “I think it'd look really nice. But you don't want anything too flashy. Maybe a few gold ropes or something.”

 

“You two done now? Can we get goin'?” Miroku asked.

 

“Well you're impatient!” Sango said.

 

They all started walking towards the car. “And there you go with the stating the obvious again!” Kagome squealed. “You really need a uniform to go with it!”

 

They all climbed into the four-door red Chevrolet. This time Inuyasha was driving. It was 6:34 according to the clock.

 

Kagome's cell phone started to ring and she answered it. “Yeah? Sota! What's wrong? You sound really quiet and raspy. What! No! I'm on my way! You try and get away, okay? You got your money, right? What about the stuff I left you? Good, good. Okay call me back when you can.” Kagome hung up her phone. “They're not letting him have food or water!” Kagome reported to the rest of the group.

If you ask me that is an excellent place to leave a chapter! Get used to cliffhangers because that's usually how I write my stories. I know my chapters are really short and everything, but I'm just not having a lot of me-time. Really I don't have any at all. But I'll try and make it up to you with a really good, long chapter!
