Love, Murder, and Betrayal

Chapter eleven: Hanyou to the rescue….or not?
"He's just jealous because Kagome chose me to be her boyfriend over his stupid self." Inuyasha laughed.
The elderly woman raised her eyebrows that name sounded familiar to her, but she couldn't figure out where. Inuyasha walked passed Kaede and dropped his things down onto the floor in the living room where he walked to the kitchen and grabbed himself a can of cola. He plopped down on one of the kitchen chairs and sighed as he opened the can and took a long sip.
"Tell me Inuyasha, who this young girl named Kagome is." She demanded sitting in a chair across from the hanyou.
"She's the best thing that's ever happened to me!" he exclaimed loudly, "Kagome is a sophomore at my school. Today she told her mother that I was her boyfriend and her mom wants me to go eat dinner over at her house."
"I see, and what is Kagome's tittle?" Kaede asked.
He squinted his eyes for a moment then smiled, "oh, its Higurashi, I think it fits her nicely."
"Inuyasha!" she raised her voice as the anger took over. "Ye weren't supposed to have anything to do with that young lass, she's trouble beyond belief! That's why I hid her memories deep inside her mind."
"YOU DID THAT!" he yelled, "Why in the seven hells would you ever think about taking away somebody's memories!"
"I only used it for hers and yer safety." She sighed.
"My safety? MY SAFETY! Why would I ever need you to do anything about my safety?" he growled bringing his soda down on the table forcefully making the cola shoot from the can and spill over his hand and the table.
"If ye would ever pay attention ye would know that her mother is a very well respected and intelligent woman in yer brother Sesshomaru's company! She makes blue prints and strengthens the security systems and holds many secrets of yer brother's company!" Kaede said calmly.
"Wow…No wonder why she seemed familiar." He sighed wiping his hand on his pants.
"That's not all." Kaede continued. "Naraku is after the technology that her mother holds, he wants to take over yer brother's company, but he doesn't have the resources needed."
"Holy shit! Naraku goes to my school!" Inuyasha gasped.
"Ye must be mistaken Inuyasha, Naraku is old enough to be yer father. There's no way he could still be in high school and yet be one of the most ruthless businessmen in the country if not the world." The elderly woman explained.
Inuyasha got to his feet and ran to his room. He looked around frantically trying to find the keys to his car. It took him about a half-hour, but by the time he found them, it was getting dark.
"Oh, crap!" he yelled as he flew down the stairs, where he was stopped by Koga.
"Where do you think you're going mutt boy?" Koga hissed standing in front of the door.
"I've got to go to Kagome's house, she may be in danger!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.
"Stay away from her!" Koga said venomously.
Angrily Inuyasha cracked his knuckles and growled as he lunged for Koga, who moved out of the way. Smiling Inuyasha jumped out the door and ran to his convertible. He quickly jumped in and sped off towards Kagome's house.
He reached her house ten minutes later cops were everywhere. They had had the house taped off, the squad car's lights were flashing along with the single ambulance vehicle. His eyes widened as the paramedics brought out a stretcher covered with a white sheet that was doused in blood towards the top. Inuyasha turned off his car's engine and jumped out of the driver's seat. He rushed towards the scene, but was caught by two police officers.
"Whoa there fella, this is a crime scene. You can't just enter. Get back away from the police tape and let the professionals handle this." An officer said calmly.
"Where's Kagome? Is she okay? Tell me where she is!" Inuyasha demanded.
"What does she look like sir?" the other officer asked.
"She's tall, long black hair, teenager! Grey eyes and goes by the name Kagome Higurashi!" he blurred out frantically, "Please tell me where she is!"
The male officer looked at the female officer and sighed, "What connection do you have to the young lady?" he questioned.
"I'M HER BOYFRIEND!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.
"Inuyasha?" a voice sniffled coming from behind the ambulance.
"Kagome!" he called going towards the voice.
Kagome came out from her hidden spot, wrapped in a blanket. She had tiny droplets of blood over her face along with tears. She'd grown very pale and she dropped the blanket, rushing over to him.
Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome as she came to him. He held her close and kissed her forehead. Sighing out of pure relief that she was okay the hanyou pulled her away a bit and looked her in the eyes.
"Kagome what happened?" he asked softly.
Tears swelled in her puffy red eyes and she hid her face in his shirt. "Oh, Inuyasha it was so horrible. They killed her!" she cried.
Gently he led her away from her house and sat down by the side of the road. He could tell that nobody knew what was going on since the police officers listened closely to her story as she told him.
"Tell me what happened." He said quietly.
She sniffled and wiped away her tears, sighing heavily. "These men in a black sedan shot my mom at a repair shop down town. Then they followed us-and shot at our car-then they just disappeared." She blurted out quickly. "I tried to tell her to go to the hospital, Inuyasha I begged her, but she made me come back to the house. At first she told me to go to her room and get an important disc-it was in her computer. When I came down stairs a-a man-I tried to stop him, but he threw a cell phone at my head-and I fell and-and--"
She broke down into sobs, her body trembled as she cried into her palms. Inuyasha brought Kagome to his chest and held her close. She wrapped her arms around him and continued to cry on his shoulder. He rubbed her back and tried his hardest to comfort her.
"It's okay Kagome," he whispered into her ear. "It's going to be okay. Now what happened after you fell."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, her face was wet and her eyes were raw from crying. His eyes flashed violet for a moment but she quickly disregarded it and continued.
"He killed her, right in front of me." She choked out, "And then he came after me and the disc I had."
"Where's the disc?" he asked hastily.
"He took it from me and left!" She wailed as more tears fought their way from her eyes.
The police officer walked over to Inuyasha and crossed his arms over his chest, "Does she have any other family?"
"Yeah, but they all live in Tokyo." Inuyasha answered, pulling Kagome tighter to his chest protectively.
The officer sighed and put away his tape recorder, "We would question her but she's a minor and we need permission from her guardian. I'm going to release her into your custody, but I will need your information incase we need anything.
Inuyasha nodded and gave the somewhat patient officer his information. When he was finished, the hanyou picked up Kagome in his arms and carried her to his car, placing her in the passenger seat. He climbed in and drove silently to his house. Carefully Inuyasha carried the weeping Kagome into his house where Kaede rushed to his side.
"I was afraid ye'd be too late." She said on the edge of being hysterical. The hanyou nodded and stayed quiet as Kaede looked over Kagome. "Take her up to yer brother's room and let her rest. This young child must be devastated."
He walked passed Kaede and headed up the stairs. He fumbled with the door for a moment then entered Sesshomaru's gigantic bedroom. Slowly he went to the bedside and put Kagome down on the mattress. He brushed the hair away from her face and kneeled so he could look her in the eye.
"Lay down and stay here. I'll be right back." He whispered.
Kagome nodded and laid down hiding her face into the soft goose feathered pillows. Inuyasha rose to his feet and walked into his brother's personal bathroom where he grabbed a wash cloth and ran it under some cool water, then rung it out. He came back into the bedroom and went to Kagome's side. Cupping her cheek in his hand he gently wiped the dried blood from her pale face.
"I'm so sorry Inuyasha." Kagome whispered touching his hand on her face.
He grunted and cleaned the rest of Kagome off. She sighed and opened her eyes, she couldn't believe how gentle he'd become since she first met him in the high school hallways.
"It doesn't matter," he said flatly as he got to his feet and disappeared back into the private bathroom. Then returning and glancing down at her as he leaned on a bed pole.
"It does," she said sitting up, "I didn't mean to hurt you Inuyasha, You didn't deserve it when I hit you with my English encyclopedia or that blast in the face, I'm sorry."
She twiddled her fingers in her lap keeping her gaze from him. Her eyes began to water, "And I should have listened to Star when she warned me about Naraku, I'm so stupid."
Inuyasha stared at Kagome, his face turned into an angry expression then it softened as he sat down next to her. He lifted her chin with his claw making her look at him. He brushed his free hand through her matted hair and sighed.
"Don't worry about it Kagome. I'm here for you and I'll always protect you when I can. No mater what the cost." He said wiping the left over tears from her eyes.
All the sadness left Kagome's eyes, replaced by anger and hatred. She hugged Inuyasha and laid her head in the crook of his neck. She tensed up completely as she tightened her grasp on him.
"Inuyasha, Naraku will pay for what he's done to my mother." She hissed, "I'll be sure to cause him so much pain he'll wish he was dead!"
The hanyou patted Kagome's back and tried to keep his blush from making him look like a cherry. A few minutes of silence passed and Inuyasha felt Kagome's body relax against his. He pulled her off of himself and laid her down on the bed, covering her up he kissed her forehead. Then reluctantly got to his feet and made his way towards the door.
"Wait Inuyasha don't leave me." Kagome whispered loudly sitting up, by leaning on her elbows.
"I'll be in the room closest to the stairs on the right, don't worry I'm not going to leave this house. Lay down and get some sleep." He said standing in front of the open door.
She uttered something as she peeled off her jacket and laid back down, placing her head onto of a pillow and falling asleep instantly.
The hanyou lingered in the doorway for a bit long before he turned and made his way to his room. As he entered he noticed Koga leaning in a corner, his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed melancholy as the light was turned on.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha demanded pulling off his dirtied shirt and pulling on a clean one.
"I should kill you right now." Koga said venomously standing up straight.
Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, then laughed as he made his way to his computer and sat down in his chair. . He decided to ignore Koga's invitation to have his ass kicked by the hanyou. Inuyasha had work to do and he didn't need any distractions.
"Hmm, I knew you were nothing but a worthless piece of shit." Koga mused.
The hanyou turned on his computer and growled catching sight of his claws receding into his fingers. Inuyasha jumped from his seat and charged at Koga, punching him in the face sending the wolf youkai flying out the door. He hit the sidewall then tumbled down the stairs.
Inuyasha wiped the sweat from his face and bellowed, "Next time I wont spare you!" then he slammed his door shut and turned off the light, going back to his computer and what he was previously doing.
oOo
As Koga lay flat on his face at the bottom of the stairs Kaede slowly walked by and tossed him a towel. She looked very annoyed as she kept walking until she disappeared into the back room. He sat up and looked confused.
"He broke yer nose. Clean yourself up and get yer things so I can drive ye to the airport." Kaede said appearing in front of Koga a moment later.
He didn't say anything just nodded taking the towel in his hand and wiping away the blood from his face. Koga would wince slightly when he touched his injury. Soon the elderly woman grew tired of seeing the wolf youkai mess around with his wound so she went into the kitchen and came back out, seizing Koga's nose and shoving some herbs into his mouth roughly.
Koga screamed with surprise at first then in pain. He almost gagged as he was forced to chew the herbs. No later than had he swallowed, had the pain stopped and Kaede fixed him up then putting a tiny bandage across the bridge of his nose.
"Now go." She ordered.
"Alright, alright I'm going." Koga pouted heading back up the stairs going into the guestroom he was staying in.
He gathered a tiny bag and shoved the clothes that the elderly woman brought from his hotel. When he finished he walked back to the door, stopping as a figure came from the room a few doors down from his and made their way down the hallway. Koga watched silently as the person stopped outside of Inuyasha's door and gently knocked.
At first nobody answered and he heard the person sigh. It was Kagome. Jealousy poured into Koga's veins as he continued to stand at the doorway. Too bad he didn't have hearing as good as the hanyou, but he could barely make out a gruff voice behind the door.
"What do you want!" Inuyasha growled sleepily.
"I Uh-sorry," She said lowering her head and shuffling her feet. "I didn't mean to bug you or anything, but I can't sleep."
There was a few loud noises, grunts and curse words coming from Inuyasha's room. It grew silent and he mumbled something Koga couldn't quite hear. Kagome reached for the doorknob and entered the pitch-black room.
Koga growled and made his way down the stairs with his small bag. He sat down on the couch and waited for Kaede to come fetch him.
oOo
Kagome woke up sweating and she couldn't help but reply her mother's death over and over in her mind. No matter how much she tried to forget, every time she would close her eyes, the sight of the man pulling the trigger kept popping back up in her mind. She climbed off the bed and onto the floor. She quickly made her way into the personal bathroom where she ran the water in the sink and splashed some cold water onto her face, then drying it off with a spare towel. Kagome looked at herself in the mirror, she was pale and her eyes were red from crying.
She let out a sigh and went out into the hall. Everything was dark around though there was enough light for her to see and slowly and silently she made her way down the hall. As she reached the closest room to the stairs she looked to her right and there stood a closed door. Lightly she knocked, hoping that Inuyasha was there.
"What do you want?" she thought that he may have been sleeping and he seemed sort of mad.
"I uh-sorry," she whispered lowering her head and shuffling her feet. "I didn't mean to bug you or anything-but I can't sleep."
Kagome thought she heard somebody scrambling along with grunts and Inuyasha muttering curse words. She stayed quiet waiting for an answer. The minutes pass like hours, then she heard him.
"It's open." He mumbled.
Feeling somebody's eyes burning into her back she quickly reached for the handle, opening the door and entering the pitch-black room. She closed the door behind her and leaned against it.
"Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Hmm?" there was a squeaking of mattress springs as he rose from his bed.
"It's too dark in here, turn on a light." She said groping for the light switch.
Inuyasha knew exactly what Kagome was doing, he rushed over to her and clamped his hand over hers as she just found the switch. She let out a gasp, completely frightened by his sudden touch.
"No," he whispered roughly, "No lights."
Kagome smiled slightly interested in why he wanted the lights off. 'What is he hiding form me?' she thought. Some how she knew that he was standing in front of her so she reached out and clumsily touched his shirt sleeve. She slowly ran her hand up his chest and then up his neck where she gently stroked his cheek with her thumb.
His body tensed up at her touch and goose flesh appeared as she moved her hand across his chest. Inuyasha tried to fight down the lump in his throat but his mouth was dry. He managed to move closer and move her hand off of his face so she wouldn't touch his ears.
"No Kagome don't." he breathed trying to move away.
She leaned her head in the crook of his neck and sighed heavily. She was going to find out what he was hiding from her. Softly she kissed his neck and she could feel him shiver. Kagome smiled as he lowered his head and captured her lips. Inuyasha didn't want to take advantage of her, yet a part of him, a big part of him wanted more than just an innocent kiss.
Hungrily Kagome licked Inuyasha's lips, pleading for permission. He deepened the kiss, forcing her tongue back and his dominating and exploring the newly found crevasses of her mouth. Completely lost in the moment, Inuyasha removed the hand that kept a very eager Kagome from turning on the light and he draped it across her waist, trying to defeat her continuous attempt to dominate their kiss.
'Big mistake Inuyasha.' She thought as she gently ended the kiss so she could breathe. She quickly flipped on the light and gasped. Kagome stared straight into the eyes of a young boy with long black flowing hair and the most gorgeous violet orbs that had mixed emotions plastered to his face. She almost regretted turning on the light, but then she became furious, pushing Inuyasha away.
"How could you!" she yelled angrily.
"How could I what?" he asked almost innocently, "What did I do wrong?"
"I was happy until you came! It's all your fault!" she glared at him. If she were a demon her eyes would have been glowing red.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and growled, "You didn't look so fucking happy when I met you in the halls bitch! It's not my fault that you're weak and an easy prey!"
Kagome clenched her fists furiously, digging her nails into her skin. 'Who does he think is talking to me like that?' She sot her finger at Inuyasha and screamed, "You're the reason I broke up with Koga before I came here! You're the reason why I'm unhappy! You and your stupid brain couldn't comprehend that I wasn't Kikyo, you stupid asshole!"
"Of course you're not Kikyo! " he yelled back, looming over her, "She was prettier, nicer, smarter, and an all around better person than what you'll ever be!"
The anger left her eyes and she felt hurt. Then she calmed herself down staring emotionlessly into Inuyasha's eyes she blinked and sighed putting her arms to her side.
"If you feel that way I'll leave then." She replied opening the door.
Angrily she walked back to the room where her jacket was. She wasn't going to spend another minute with him. She was going to get all her things and go. She walked into her sleeping quarters and picked up her jacket, and quickly put it on.
As she made the bed and brushed herself off she could feel the eyes of someone on her body and the wind from a once unopened window. Kagome turned around and surveyed the room. Everything looked in place, she sighed then faced the door. She gazed straight at a lean figure wearing all black and a trench coat that touched the ground. Lifting her eyes to his face, it was him.
The man had an evil grin painted on his face, his arms were crossed over his chest, his eyes pierced hers and were filled with malice and evil intentions. Slowly he closed the door with his foot, it slammed shut with a bang.
"Why hello again beautiful." He said sternly as he took a step towards her.
Kagome backed up, she tried to speak but nothing came out, her voice failed her. She held a horrified look on her face as he moved closer. Her eyes darted for a way to escape and found nothing. The man quickly advanced on Kagome, she scrambled for the bathroom but he tackled her to the ground from behind.
She let out a loud scream, though it was cut short as he clamped his hand over her mouth. He lowered his head right against her ear and hissed venomously, "Bitch, if you so much as breathe wrong, I'll gut you like a fish." He proved his point by lightly pressing a large switchblade against her throat. "If you keep quiet and give me what I want, I might let you live to see another day."
Silent tears poured down her face as she prayed for a miracle. The man slowly got off her and pulled her up to her feet. The first thing that came to her mind was to run, and scream for her life depended on it.
"Now," he started, "I'll ask you this once and once only. Where's the disc?"

As Koga lay flat on his face at the bottom of the stairs Kaede slowly walked by and tossed him a towel. She looked very annoyed as she kept walking until she disappeared into the back room. He sat up and looked confused.
"He broke yer nose. Clean yourself up and get yer things so I can drive ye to the airport." Kaede said appearing in front of Koga a moment later.
He didn't say anything just nodded taking the towel in his hand and wiping away the blood from his face. Koga would wince slightly when he touched his injury. Soon the elderly woman grew tired of seeing the wolf youkai mess around with his wound so she went into the kitchen and came back out, seizing Koga's nose and shoving some herbs into his mouth roughly.
Koga screamed with surprise at first then in pain. He almost gagged as he was forced to chew the herbs. No later than had he swallowed, had the pain stopped and Kaede fixed him up then putting a tiny bandage across the bridge of his nose.
"Now go." She ordered.
"Alright, alright I'm going." Koga pouted heading back up the stairs going into the guestroom he was staying in.
He gathered a tiny bag and shoved the clothes that the elderly woman brought from his hotel. When he finished he walked back to the door, stopping as a figure came from the room a few doors down from his and made their way down the hallway. Koga watched silently as the person stopped outside of Inuyasha's door and gently knocked.
At first nobody answered and he heard the person sigh. It was Kagome. Jealousy poured into Koga's veins as he continued to stand at the doorway. Too bad he didn't have hearing as good as the hanyou, but he could barely make out a gruff voice behind the door.
"What do you want!" Inuyasha growled sleepily.
"I Uh-sorry," She said lowering her head and shuffling her feet. "I didn't mean to bug you or anything, but I can't sleep."
There was a few loud noises, grunts and curse words coming from Inuyasha's room. It grew silent and he mumbled something Koga couldn't quite hear. Kagome reached for the doorknob and entered the pitch-black room.
Koga growled and made his way down the stairs with his small bag. He sat down on the couch and waited for Kaede to come fetch him.
oOo
Kagome woke up sweating and she couldn't help but reply her mother's death over and over in her mind. No matter how much she tried to forget, every time she would close her eyes, the sight of the man pulling the trigger kept popping back up in her mind. She climbed off the bed and onto the floor. She quickly made her way into the personal bathroom where she ran the water in the sink and splashed some cold water onto her face, then drying it off with a spare towel. Kagome looked at herself in the mirror, she was pale and her eyes were red from crying.
She let out a sigh and went out into the hall. Everything was dark around though there was enough light for her to see and slowly and silently she made her way down the hall. As she reached the closest room to the stairs she looked to her right and there stood a closed door. Lightly she knocked, hoping that Inuyasha was there.
"What do you want?" she thought that he may have been sleeping and he seemed sort of mad.
"I uh-sorry," she whispered lowering her head and shuffling her feet. "I didn't mean to bug you or anything-but I can't sleep."
Kagome thought she heard somebody scrambling along with grunts and Inuyasha muttering curse words. She stayed quiet waiting for an answer. The minutes pass like hours, then she heard him.
"It's open." He mumbled.
Feeling somebody's eyes burning into her back she quickly reached for the handle, opening the door and entering the pitch-black room. She closed the door behind her and leaned against it.
"Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Hmm?" there was a squeaking of mattress springs as he rose from his bed.
"It's too dark in here, turn on a light." She said groping for the light switch.
Inuyasha knew exactly what Kagome was doing, he rushed over to her and clamped his hand over hers as she just found the switch. She let out a gasp, completely frightened by his sudden touch.
"No," he whispered roughly, "No lights."
Kagome smiled slightly interested in why he wanted the lights off. 'What is he hiding form me?' she thought. Some how she knew that he was standing in front of her so she reached out and clumsily touched his shirt sleeve. She slowly ran her hand up his chest and then up his neck where she gently stroked his cheek with her thumb.
His body tensed up at her touch and goose flesh appeared as she moved her hand across his chest. Inuyasha tried to fight down the lump in his throat but his mouth was dry. He managed to move closer and move her hand off of his face so she wouldn't touch his ears.
"No Kagome don't." he breathed trying to move away.
She leaned her head in the crook of his neck and sighed heavily. She was going to find out what he was hiding from her. Softly she kissed his neck and she could feel him shiver. Kagome smiled as he lowered his head and captured her lips. Inuyasha didn't want to take advantage of her, yet a part of him, a big part of him wanted more than just an innocent kiss.
Hungrily Kagome licked Inuyasha's lips, pleading for permission. He deepened the kiss, forcing her tongue back and his dominating and exploring the newly found crevasses of her mouth. Completely lost in the moment, Inuyasha removed the hand that kept a very eager Kagome from turning on the light and he draped it across her waist, trying to defeat her continuous attempt to dominate their kiss.
'Big mistake Inuyasha.' She thought as she gently ended the kiss so she could breathe. She quickly flipped on the light and gasped. Kagome stared straight into the eyes of a young boy with long black flowing hair and the most gorgeous violet orbs that had mixed emotions plastered to his face. She almost regretted turning on the light, but then she became furious, pushing Inuyasha away.
"How could you!" she yelled angrily.
"How could I what?" he asked almost innocently, "What did I do wrong?"
"I was happy until you came! It's all your fault!" she glared at him. If she were a demon her eyes would have been glowing red.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and growled, "You didn't look so fucking happy when I met you in the halls bitch! It's not my fault that you're weak and an easy prey!"
Kagome clenched her fists furiously, digging her nails into her skin. 'Who does he think is talking to me like that?' She sot her finger at Inuyasha and screamed, "You're the reason I broke up with Koga before I came here! You're the reason why I'm unhappy! You and your stupid brain couldn't comprehend that I wasn't Kikyo, you stupid asshole!"
"Of course you're not Kikyo! " he yelled back, looming over her, "She was prettier, nicer, smarter, and an all around better person than what you'll ever be!"
The anger left her eyes and she felt hurt. Then she calmed herself down staring emotionlessly into Inuyasha's eyes she blinked and sighed putting her arms to her side.
"If you feel that way I'll leave then." She replied opening the door.
Angrily she walked back to the room where her jacket was. She wasn't going to spend another minute with him. She was going to get all her things and go. She walked into her sleeping quarters and picked up her jacket, and quickly put it on.
As she made the bed and brushed herself off she could feel the eyes of someone on her body and the wind from a once unopened window. Kagome turned around and surveyed the room. Everything looked in place, she sighed then faced the door. She gazed straight at a lean figure wearing all black and a trench coat that touched the ground. Lifting her eyes to his face, it was him.
The man had an evil grin painted on his face, his arms were crossed over his chest, his eyes pierced hers and were filled with malice and evil intentions. Slowly he closed the door with his foot, it slammed shut with a bang.
"Why hello again beautiful." He said sternly as he took a step towards her.
Kagome backed up, she tried to speak but nothing came out, her voice failed her. She held a horrified look on her face as he moved closer. Her eyes darted for a way to escape and found nothing. The man quickly advanced on Kagome, she scrambled for the bathroom but he tackled her to the ground from behind.
She let out a loud scream, though it was cut short as he clamped his hand over her mouth. He lowered his head right against her ear and hissed venomously, "Bitch, if you so much as breathe wrong, I'll gut you like a fish." He proved his point by lightly pressing a large switchblade against her throat. "If you keep quiet and give me what I want, I might let you live to see another day."
Silent tears poured down her face as she prayed for a miracle. The man slowly got off her and pulled her up to her feet. The first thing that came to her mind was to run, and scream for her life depended on it.
"Now," he started, "I'll ask you this once and once only. Where's the disc?"
