InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Makeshift Superheroes ❯ The Doctor ( Chapter 3 )

AN: Thank you for all your patience... ::cringes:: Anyway, if you have any questions you can always e-mail me, or just ask in a review. I read all my reviews at least five times... (pathetic yes, but fun no?) and just to clear things up... I believe there is a difference between a lady of the night and a stripper...

See... I believe a stripper just... er - well, strips and takes off her clothes and shakes her butt at men... and does lap dances. Yeah. No actual fuckie fuckie. A lady of the night is basically... a whore. Yeah. That just about says it all.

"Please! Do come in!" Jakotsu ushered them in, naively oblivious to the rather confused look on both Miroku and Kagura's faces. "Make yourselves comfortable!"

Miroku took the initiative and sat in one of the red chairs. Kagura shot Jakotsu a look before doing the same. Jakotsu siddled around the desk and sat in the chair adjacent to them, and broke out in smiles.

"So what can I do for you?" He asked cheerily. Kagura looked at the ceiling for a moment before clearing her throat and answering.

"Well... for starters you could tell us what you're doing in this office." she stated bluntly.

Jakotsu gasped. "What is so odd about me being in here?"

"Because Jakotsu," Kagura slowly grounded out the words, as if she were chewing each one in her mouth before proceeding to speak, "You and I both know that you are not a doctor here."

Jakotsu rapped his knuckles rather suddenly on the wooden desk. "Nonsense!"

"Where is your doctor?" Kagura ground out yet again. Miroku was sinking farther and farther back into his red chair, very obvious of the fact that Jakotsu looked and was most likely... gay. And he didn't like the looks that man was giving him. Not one bit.

"I am the doctor hun!" was the indignant reply. Kagura sighed and quickly got out of her chair.

"Look. I will go down to the receptionist and say that you are out of your room. Get me your doctor. Now." Kagura placed both hands on the side of the desk and leaned forward. "I mean it Jakotsu. Get me your doctor now. You are in serious shit."

"I agree. I told you to wait in the examination room for me."

The Doctor

By: bs

Kagura turned around to face a tall man, who was focusing a rather intense glare on Jakotsu; most likely with the intention of intimidating the man. It was having no effect whatsoever, the proof being that Jakotsu bounded over and embraced the man rather enthusiatically.

"I assume you are Sesshoumaru Mitsukai?" Miroku coughed violently. Kagura gave him a scathing glare before returning to face the man, waiting for an answer to her question.

"Yes. Jakotsu. If you do not let go, I will give you sedatives. I will not be merciful." Sesshoumaru's deep voice made chills run down Kagura spine, but she shook them off.

"Aww..." Jakotsu pouted. "I'll be waiting for you in my room! And I'll be... ready..."

"Keep your clothes on. I'll send Yura in if I even think you aren't fully dressed."

Jakotsu pouted but left the room efficiently. Kagura gaving him a look before he invited them to sit down and he went around to the other side of the desk.

After a few moments of silence, Miroku cleared his throat and gave Kagura a meaningful glance. She ignored him. Miroku coughed violently.

The silence persisted.

"So... are we just bonding right now?" Miroku sighed. Sesshoumaru stared at him. Miroku was rather unnerved by the intense gaze of the doctor.

"What is it that you are here for?"

"We were sent to fetch you!" Miroku responded cheerily. He was met with a stony glare from Kagura.

"...like a dog...?" Sesshoumaru inquired. Kagura slapped Miroku's hand.

"This is why you don't talk." Kagura turned her attention back to Sesshoumaru. "We need help."

"Apparently."

"Someone has sent us to get you." Kagura finished. She looked at the man's face to read any expression he had, but it was a blank slate. Very scary and slightly disturbing... Sesshoumaru sat there, staring intensely at the both of them for a few minutes. Miroku got rather nervous, and fidgeted, having had his fill of gay men for the day... for the rest of his natural life really...

"Who was it? Naraku?" Sesshoumaru's inquiring tone set Kagura a little bit at ease, and she relaxed her tense shoulders.

"So I guess you know him too?"

"No. I just randomly picked a word and said it."

"Really?" Kagura and Sesshoumaru both deadpanned at Miroku. "What? WHAT?"

"So will you help us?" Kagura asked, her tone demanding he answer her. Or face the consequences. And you really didn't want to face the consequences when Kagura was the one deciding punishment… she had a really disturbing mind…

"No. I have no inclination or motivation to help you. Leave." and he set himself to begin scribbling something on a piece of paper. Kagura glared. Miroku stared at Kagura.

"Psst!" Kagura looked over to him, and Sesshoumaru visibly twitched, but kept writing.

"What?" She asked. Miroku blanched and put a finger to his lip, telling her to be quiet. "...sorry?"

He wiggled his chair closer to her, each screeching noise making Sesshoumaru wince. He still continued to write on the paper. After whispering something into Kagura's ear, Miroku grinned.

Kagura, however, frowned. "What? There's a broker in his room?" Sesshoumaru stopped pretending to write. He looked up and propped his head up, with his elbow on the table.

"No!" Miroku hissed indignantly and motioned for Kagura to get closer again. Miroku whispered into her ear again.

"WHAT? There's a carp in your a - "

"NO!!! DAMMIT! I'll just say it!" Miroku groaned. "Sesshoumaru. You say there isn't any motivation for you, but what does the name Inuyasha mean to you?"

Sesshoumaru's head slipped off the arm that was propping it up. And he quickly regained his posture, but it seemed that he was very startled to hear the name, being that his voice was shaking. "How do you know Inuyasha? Where is he? How in the hell do - "

"Calm down!" Miroku stood up, and held his hands out in a peaceful gesture. "I do not know Inuyasha."

"What in the name of hell are - "

"Let me finish! Jeesh. I came home one day and I found a big envelope. Inside it were four files, one of them yours and one of them Ms. Kaze's. There was also a disc, but that... was not of very much help."

"It was burned."

"Let me tell it Kagura! I can do it! I'm a big boy!"

Kagura rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, there was also a check. It was fake, and we need to gather those four people from the information those files I was given. Do you want to help us? Because this person knows waaayy too much." Kagura finished quickly and gave a triumphant smirk Miroku's way. Miroku pouted.

"So... will you help us now?"

"No. Get out." Sesshoumaru placid expression and his narrowing eyes were a sign that screamed RUN FOR YOU BLOODY LIFE!!, and he would have done so, if Kagura were not so stubborn. No man should ever leave a damsel in distress...

"Listen you stupid stubborn sonofabitch!" Kagura ranted. "You should - oof!" and Miroku did what any man would have done at that moment. He tossed Kagura onto his shoulder, winced momentarily at the wait, waved good-bye to Sesshoumaru, and ran out of the door and into the hall. "HEY! LET ME GO!"

"N-noOOO!" Miroku panted out as he kept running. The elevator was almost there. If only he could just - YES!

They were in the elevator and Miroku dumped Kagura onto the floor. "You idiot! What the hell is running through that small brain of yours?!"

"Kagura, will you please calm down?"

"NO! Don't tell me to calm down! We are going back there right now and making him come with us!"

"Kagura - "

"NOW!"

"...hello?" Sango asked, peering into the elevator with a rather confused look in her eyes. "You do know that the elevator doors opened awhile ago?"

Kagura's lips tightened and she drew a fan, it seemed, out of nowhere, and gave Miroku a sound whack on his head. "Don't ever manhandle me like that again or you will pay."

"Yes ma'am!" Miroku responded cheerily and saluted. He was met with a stare from Sango and a glare from Miroku.

The two in the elevator stopped and blinked, staring behind Sango. "I... guess... we should be going...?" Miroku said hesitantly, still staring at the mass of people behind Sango.

Kagura stiffened. "Maybe we should." The three quickly left the building and headed for Sango's car. As Kagura slid quickly into the driver's seat, Miroku maneuvered Sango into the backseat and closed the door.

Miroku then got in the front seat.

"Hey! This is my car!"

"And you drive like you're having a seizure. I do not want to die like this." Kagura snapped as she weaved in and out of the oncoming traffic.

"Besides, Kagura seems like a much safer driv - GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Miroku yelped as Kagura suddenly floored it, a loud screech emitting from the tires, and laughed.

"So much for that!" Sango yelled at the back of Miroku's head. The reason she had to yell was because cars around them were slamming on their brakes and beeping them. Some even gave them nice hand gestures. How nice...

As they finally entered the parking lot of a fancy hotel, Sango released her death grip on Miroku's shoulders. THe man in front sighed and rolled his shoulder blades back and then cleared his throat.

"Kagura. I believe we have the wrong place."

"Nu-uh."

"But this isn't my apartme - "

"Sorry hun, but that place doesn't suit me. We're all staying my room tonight." Kagura finally found a parking spot she deemed suitable and slid in gracefully as you could with a car.

"Alright!!!" Miroku's grin quicky faded at the sharp glare that Sango was giving him. "But..." and he cleared his throat, "I believe I shall sleep on the floor as a gentleman should. You two lovely ladies shall have the bed."

Kagura smiled grimly. "I know that idiot. You are going to sleep in the same room as us."

Miroku blinked. "Where am I sleeping then?"

"I'm not that cruel okay? You get the bloody couch!" Sango snorted and Kaugra chuckled.

"...oh. I thought you meant someth - nevermind." He cleared his throat and quickened his walking pace as they reached the lobby. He slowed down slightly to let the two women catch up to him.

"What did you think I meant?" Kagura hissed quietly as she gave a polite nod and smile to the bellboy who was passing by. Miroku gave no reply.

"Walk faster. I think we're being followed." Sango said in a soft tone. "He's been following us since we left the hospital. The faster we get to your room, the better."

"I see him too. Do you think he's the guy who sent me the fake check? Because if it's that bastard I'm going to - "

"Will you stop it with the money already? Bes - " Kagura halted in what she had to say when and paled.

"What's wrong?" Miroku looked around to see if anyone had shot her with something. No... it seemed clear. Kagura's eyes widened as she stared at someone behind Miroku, and was already backing up.

"Seriously, answer us! What's wrong? Do we need to get out of here or something?"

"No..." Kagura squeaked out. "It's just th - "

"Well well well Kagura. It's so nice to see that you've finished your errands for the day already. And who are these? Your friends?" A voice grated out from behind Miroku, who spun around quickly. There in front of him stood a man... a rather short man...was it a man or a boy...? Anyway, he was dressed in a lavendar suit with a matching tie.

He looked rather spiffy, for a lack of better words. "Ahh... Hakudoshi!" Kagura tittered, "It's so good to see you again! Hasn't it been awhi - "

"You didn't pay up." Hakudoshi said. His gravelly voice, so deep and... mature... threw off Sango.

He couldn't have been more than twelve!

"Well, I mean, you have to admit under the circumstance that it was a little hard to give you that amount of curren - "

"I want my money. Now." Hakudoshi stepped closer, and Miroku stepped aside to allow the small man to do so.

Kagura sighed in relentance. "Alright, just let me drive down to the nearest ATM and I'll wire it to you by Mon - "

"It was not a request Kagura." He strained every syllable in her name.

"But I don't carry that much on me!" She protested. Miroku deemed this an opportune moment to step in.

"The lady says she doesn't have enough right now. She'll give her word to you on her mother's grave that she will get the money to you by Monday. Isn't that right Ms. Kaze?" Miroku smiled broadly and turned around only to find that Kagura had run off with Sango the moment he began talking. Turning back to face Hakudoshi, he grinned. "Well then... Alleyoop!!!" And ran away quickly.

Hakudoshi spluttered indignant protests as Miroku became a purple dot.

AN: Okay... so this is about two-three pages shorter than my normal chapters... but don't worry! I actually have a reason for ending this early! Besides, aren't you just happy I updated? ::twitcH::

And as a note… if you haven't read the note I put on FAI, I really think updating on mm.org is a really big hassle. So thus - lack of updates. So if you ever get antsy and wonder why I'm not updating… I probably am. Just not on mm.org. http://www.fanfiction.net/~bluesakuras is my page!! And I'm only updating this when I have the TIME AND ENGERY to… and only for my lovely reviewers!
