Silence
Chapter 4

"Oomph!"

"Get up! You're lucky I decided to let you and your kin leave, instead of killing you sorry bunch on sight."

A scratched and bruised black-grey wolf demon kneeled off the ground, carefully picking himself up.

Another wolf, with dirt brown hair and violet eyes, stood triumphant upon a high rock. Looking down at his best friend, he nodded. "Ginta, is that the last of the Zuki brothers?"

The guard counted his fingers until he got to seven. "Yup that's all, Kouga. All that was left was Suzuki Zuki, the youngest."

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

Devilcheetah: Suzuki Zuki...*snort* sorry, that's just...*walks off stage to follow the mighty he-men of the law while laughing all the way*

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

The wolf prince smiled, "Good, it's about time we finished ridding the pack of fleas."

That's what you think. Sneered the captive, finally getting to his feet.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I say leave?"

The youngest of the Zuki brothers stayed silent.

"Answer me!"

"You are a fool Kouga."

The said wolf let out a snarl, "...what?!"

"My dear Kouga," Suzuki smiled innocently, "Why do you think it took the longest to find me?"

Jumping down to the chuckling wolf's level, Kouga glared, "I don't understand."

"I thought not."

"Explain now! Before I decide to take back my word and kill you on the spot, instead of letting you free."

"Do are you wish, Kouga, for I have served my purpose."

The prince raised an eyebrow, "What purpose?"

Things are falling into place nicely. Suzuki thought arrogantly, congradulating himself.

"Have you still not figured out why it took so long to find me, the weakest of my brothers, while it took you how long to find my elders?"

"Where are you going with this?"

"I'm saying, Kouga, that you have been fooled. Tricked. Duped. All of the above."

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

Angeltiger: *stops, panting* Yes, I realize 'duped' prolly wasn't an actual word then, *heave* but sometimes I slip my own little slang in there. So please try to ignore-ahhhhhh! *takes off again* I don't know how much more of this I can take. Have any of you ever tried to type while running? *shows audience portable keyboard* It's not *pant* easy.

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

"How so?" (haha)

"You see, my brothers gave themselves up, all while I hid."

"And?" The prince was getting irritated.

"And, you sorry excuse for a wolf, while you wasted your time tracking me down in your lands, my brotehrs were out extracting our 'Ultimate Revenge'!"

"*snicker* *snicker* Bwaaa haaa haaaaaa*snort*aaahhh!"

"WHAT is so amusing?!"

"What's your *gasp* 'Ultimate *heave* Revenge'? *pant pant* Taking a leak in our water stream? *swallow* Haaa haaa, hee heee, wheeeew."

Despite himself, Ginta started to snicker as well.

The now red Suzuki had had enough, "No you idiot! You would think after last time, you'd take my brothers and I seriously!"

That shut him up. Suddenly, things got serious, "Talk, what have you done?"

Suzuki's lip curled in a nasty smile, "So I finally have your full attention?"

"Don't push it Zuki."

"Fair enough. Now....if you wish...maybe we could make a deal-"

"Enough! I don't like not knowing things, tell me what's going on!"

Slightly startled, and now starting to fear the angry demon in front of him, Suzuki decided to start talking. "My brothers decided to get you where it hurts the most."

"Go on." Kouga racked his brain for everything he thought Suzuki would know, They don't have my jewel shards, and I've kicked them all out of my pack...so what...

"Think wolfy. What the most precious and valuable object you care about? It happens to be the most vulnerable..."

"What are you-" Realization began to dawn, "Oh no...no...you're lying..."

"Figured it out?"

"You'd better be lying-"

"The Ultimate Revenge!"

"Where are they?"

"A secluded area I'm sure."

Kouga curled his hands into fists, but it went unnoticed by the now-arrogant Zuki brother in front of him. "WHAT AREA!?"

"Why Kouga, I'd assume the lower ones."

"DAMMIT!" Rushing forward, the wolf prince tackled the rouge wolf to the ground. His claws snacked thier way around Suzuki's neck. "DON'T. MESS. WITH. ME! Especially about this!"

If Suzuki was scared then, it was nothing to now. As of now he was terrified, and it showed in the sudden drainage of his skin color. Even Ginta gulped audibly. This won'd end pretty...

"There's nothing you can do now." The loner explained, "He's had more than enough time to-"

"Who? Which one was it!? I'll kill him!"

"The eldest!" He cried, taking a sharp breath when he felt claws -in- his throat. "Kazuki! Please don't hurt me! I was only doing what I was told!"

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

Inuyasha: I'd hate to ruin this lovely little moment, but you guys just have to hear this! *turns mike towards the back of the stage where Angeltiger's cries of aunguish and torture can be heard.* Haaaaa! I really wish you could see it though, 4 big macho-lookin lawyers have her pinned by her limbs and 2 more are spoon feeding her maggots! *flattens ears as another scream is muffled by something being stuffed in her mouth* Isn't it great?

Kagome: Of course not! How can you say that!?

Inuyasha: She made me look like the bad guy.

Sango: *snatches mike* You're making -yourself- look like a bad guy! And look, she's still trying to type! That's commitment.

Kagome: *nods*

(backstage)

Angeltiger: Ahhhhhhhhh*mmph* Akkkkkk!! Uhhhhhhh, no more....

Macho-lawyer #1: Give in yet?

Angeltiger: No...oooo...uhh...

Macho-lawyer #2: Alright, you asked for it! *grabs another spoonfull of the squirmy little white things*

Kagome and Sango: *cringe and hold each other*

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

"I will ask you one more time." Kouga instructed carefully. His eyes were dialated, and there was a fleck of red in the orbs. "Where the hell are they?"

Nodding, Suzuki drew in a small breath, mindful of the claws still pricking in, "West, towards the mountains, he...he's taken his prey by now..."

"Dammit!" He threw the rouge up aginst the rock wall, claws still pricking at his neck so that he dangled like a ragdoll.

"Ginta."

"Yes, Kouga." He had though his boss had forgotten about him.

"Take him." He threw Sukuki on the ground near his friend's feet. "I want this peice of filth under 24hour survailance, got it?"

"Yeah Kouga..."

Nodding to him to let him know he was in charge, Kouga turned away.

"Sir?"

"What?"

"You're going after them." It was a statement, not a question.

The wolf prince let the shadows hide his eyes. "Yeah."

"Bring sis back safely, ok?"

"I plan on it, take care of things for me."

"Will do!" With a salute, he watches at the spot that held Kouga turned into a swirl of dust and dirt. Be alright sis, I don't know what Kouga'd do if you...

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

"Are we there yet? Where is there? How long have we been walking? What time is it? Is Kagome gonna be ok? Where is she? And why haven't we eaten yet? I'm STARVING! Please Please, I wanna-"

"SHUT UP SHIPPO!"

The little kitzune clamped his mouth shut. They had been walking for the better part of two hours, and the growing fox was tired and hungry, and severly missing his surrogate mother.

"Inuyasha, you don't have to be so mean." Sango warned.

"You can shut up too."

Miroku's turn, "Inuyasha..."

"I said 'shut up'!"

There goes that idea. "Don't you think you should at least tell us where we're going?"

"There." He pointed to the west.

"And where is 'there'?"

"Sesshomaru's castle."

"You really think he took her there?" Sango questioned, a bit confused.

"Yeah I'm sure! I caught his damn scent!"

"Why would he take her there?"

"Do you really think I know?" Inuyasha yelled, temper flaring.

"I belive it has something to do with his sword, Tensaiga"

"Who said that?" Sango asked, looking around. The voice didn't belong to of the four there, not counting Kirara. She got her answer, however, when she heard the slap of a hand aginst skin. She turned just in time to see a small black dot drifting slowly from Inuyasha's red hand.

"Such is the life of a flea..." The dot complained.

"Oh!" Shippo laughed, "It's Myoga!"

How can he laugh after what's happend? Miroku wondered, Maybe he just doesn't understand... He cleared his throat, "How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to learn your toubles. I belive I can do a bit of explaining."

"Do your 'bit of explaining' later. We're getting Kagome now!"

"I assure you, you will do more harm in distrubing her than letting her rest for the night."

"How?"

"If you would only stop and let me explain-"

"NO!"

"Inuyasha," Miroku reasoned, "maybe we'd better listen to him. We need to know a little more now, and his information is usually useful.

"Hey!"

Casting a glance at Sango's nodding figure, Inuyasha gave in and sat down. But not before giving everyone his 'death look'.

"What's the matter?" Shippo asked. "Explain what? Hurt who? What's going on?

"Did anyone ever tell you you ask too many questions kid?" the half breed growled.

Taking the hint from Inuyasha's ever twitching eyebrow, Sango dug through her friend's pack and fished out a Hershey bar from the side pocket. "Shipp- " She started before being tackled by a blue and red blur, "-oomph!"

"Chocolate,Chocolate,Chocolate!"

"Calm down! Take this and go play ok?"

"Uh huh, uh huh!"

"Promise?"

"Yeah, yeah. Just gimme the chocolate!"

For fear of having her hand ripped off if she handed it to him, she threw the bar away into the woods, making him chase after it. How does Kagome deal with him? She wondered, but the thought of her friend's name brought her back to the present matter.

"Maybe you'd better tell us what you know, Myoga." Miroku told him, watching as the impatient half-breed paced back and forth. He sighed in relief when he actually sat down.

"Right," Shifting himself to a meditative position on the hanyou's shoulder, the flea cleared his throat.

Inuyasha sighed, this was gonna be a long one.

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

Devilcheetah: Yup, Devilcheetah here reporting the happinins backstage. Well, you haven't missed much... Oh yeah! They've upgraded from maggots to her mother's meatloaf. Honestly, I don't think -anyone- deserves that. Believe me, I've been at her house enough times...*makes gagging noises*

Kagome: Aren't you supposed to be her friend?

Angeltiger: Uhhhhhhh...*burp*

Devilcheetah: I am, I haven't left yet have I? I'm still here for her.

Sango: I don't think that's what the phrase means.

Sesshomaru: I can't take much more of this, she looks awful.

Inuyasha: *snicker* Yeah, I know!

Sesshomaru: You're just saying that now because you know any other time she would have burnt you to ashes.

Angeltiger: Mmmph....ah'm gonna kill you Inu...masha...

Inuyasha: *pales*

[Footsteps outside]

Woman's voice: WHAT is the meaning of this?

Inuyasha: *turns even paler* Thats...that's...

Macho-lawyer dude #3: Ms. Rumiko. *bows*

Inuyasha: The goddes herself! *bows*

Takahashi: Why are you feeding the poor hanyou maggots and stale-looking meatloaf?

Macho-lawyer dude #1: She has claimed rights over the copywrited Inuyasha.

Takahashi: *crouches to meet Angeltiger's eye level* Will you give me Inuyasha back?

Angeltiger: Keep him, I don't want him. He ain't worth it.

Inuyasha: *falls over anime style* >_<**

Takahashi: Then who do you want?

Angeltiger: *smiles evilly* Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru: ........*blink*...........

Takahashi: Very well, I'll make a deal. You call off your claims, and I'll let you borrow Sesshomaru occasionally outside of work? Deal?

Angeltiger: *beams* Deal

(Rumiko Takahashi and her band of 250lb he-man lawyers leave. Devilcheetah gets approx. 12 phone #'s)

Sesshomaru: Don't I get a say in this?

Kagome: And what would you say?

Sesshomaru: ...HELL YEAH!

Angeltiger: *blushes, then goes to find a toothbrush* Hey Sessho, Kagome? You got any more vodka left? I can't get this taste out of my mouth. *sigh* The things I do for ownership...
