Silver Shadows

-Chapter 4-

 

/Kikyou/

She stared blankly ahead, the silk pajama shirt hanging loosely around her shoulders. She had the most insane idea to scratch her skin until she was bloody, like a suicidal female that typically became the headline on the Sunday news. However, the constant surveillance, constant visits of Satan didn't allow her to do much.

Have you ever felt somebody touch you, feeling the lingering lust on your skin even hours, days, weeks, years after they're gone? I can still feel his hands in my hair, his vile tongue against my neck.

Yet, she still stared blankly ahead. Upon her, once again, rested the lives of all those innocent children that didn't know anything about the true horrors of the real world. She'd always been different, in more ways that one. She was a killer priested, an oxymoron in itself. Her first calling to Kami-sama was to save lives, to help the needy, to be one with nature and Kami. Her second calling, something not uncommon, was that of revenge.

I have a thirst to quench, a need that only Naraku's blood will appease.

Her hand subconsciously twitched, as if feeling the blood running down her fingers. Amazing how a girl could feel so useless without her guns, even when knowing that her whole body is a weapon. Naraku's threats hung heavy in the air, the threat of raping her younger wards. He was a demented pedophile, yet how do you truly describe one such as Naraku? A creature that does not mind corrupting a young child's body, mind, soul.

To leave an invisible scar, one that cannot be healed and will be there till the end of time.

Her eyes were heavy, she'd been deprived of sleep with fear of being taken advantage of. As sick a bastard Naraku was, he'd still hadn't taken what few women prized in the modern day and age. Yet now, her eyes weighed heavily, her lids dropping every few seconds.

I can't, I shouldn't. As soon as I give up this battle, the war may be won.

She could only hope that he would forgive her, see past the dirtiness that would now be ever-present after being touched by the enemy. The door opened and closed, she barely registered the fact. She lightly blinked her eyes for once in many hours, and turned slightly. The muscles in her neck screamed with agony at being stretched after so much inactivity.

He was back.

Once again he sat himself behind her, he put his hands on her shoulders. Every day he'd attempt at relaxing her, fail, and then take advantage of her. She was ready, she could take it all. Down to the last defilement, she would be strong and protect her wards as she had promised to do. She bowed her head slowly and closed her eyes, she would be strong.

/Naraku/

The beauty that was Kikyou lay before him every day, at his beck and call every hour. He could hardly stay away from the room he kept her in. Yet today, she seemed so different. The light that streamed in from the small gaps in the closed curtains made her seem ethereal. His eyes took in her body, and like every day, he appreciated her.

“I'm back darling, aren't you happy?”

She wouldn't respond, she never did. That's what infuriated him. Kagome would've fought, Kagome would've been fiery and hard to break. This woman was broken by him already and he hadn't even taken her for his carnal pleasure. He sat down and the bed slightly sank towards his side.

“I hear he's looking for a replacement already,” he said softly next to her ear.

He knew she could hear him, he knew it was sinking in.

“Surprised? I'm not, I knew he would.”

He touched her neck, pushing off the raven locks of straight hair, and marveled at her still soft peach skin. His fingers traveled slowly down her collar towards her shoulder when he noticed that his fingers smoked slightly. He removed them slowly and noticed that her skin seemed to burn. His hellish eyes bore into her own, demanding.

“I think you left out the little detail about being a miko,” he growled.

It had been long gathering, he gathered, inside of her with her ire. Now she was beginning to withdraw into herself, something that he didn't want, and her miko heritage had decided it was time to intercede for her.

“You're little secret's going to cost you, bitch,” he promised.

/Kagome/

They were weaving in and out through panicked people in the hallway, and they only served to stroke her ire. She couldn't get a clear shot and her fingers were already itching to pull the trigger. Yet those loose tendrils of snow white hair were teasing the edges of her vision.

Asshole.

At the intersection of four she came upon next she lost him. She shook with barely restrained rage and started shooting at the ceiling. Everybody around her ducked and threw themselves on the floor.

“Sesshomaru, you asshole! Come out here you coward!”

She looked both ways and ahead.

She pointed her gun at one of the men and asked, “Where the fuck is Sesshomaru?”

The man rolled his eyes, obviously used to the females that were out to kill the Eldest's son. He pointed to his back, her right. She smiled in anticipation and ran.

“I swear, Sesshoumaru-sama has too many females looking to kill him, how does he do it?”

The multitude picked themselves up and headed their respective ways.

/Sesshomaru/

Volatile female, she should've known better than to try and actually follow him. She would've never caught him, yet there she was at the door to the auditorium they had for large meetings. A curious bitch, all in all, just like they all were.

“What happened this time, you idiots!”

Out of the corner of his eye he saw the men wince, yet they stared ahead with pained looks. They should've known that the leader would react this way. If there was one thing he despised, it was being interrupted.

“Did you spot Naraku again?” he cruelly reminded.

One of the older gang members had claimed to have seen Naraku in the market square 5 years back. He'd shot incessantly with numerous witnesses around him, the fool. He'd been arrested for carrying an illegal weapon, illegal substance, shooting without a license, and injuring pedestrians.

“You want a gun in your mailbox boys?”

As was custom, the man had been sent a gun as a present through contacts in the county jail. The newspaper the next morning had reported a gun shot had been heard last night and Khan Nguyen had been found dead in his cell.

“Do you really want to be found by the Yakuza?”

He turned to the door and saw the girl's surprised expression. No doubt she'd thought that they were the Yakuza. And yet, she should've known because there were females, like her, in the Shadows. The Yakuza did not allow for the female to take place in the gang, his sentiments exactly. They were foolish, misguided by their feelings and not their rational thoughts, if they had any.

“Sesshomaru?”

He looked up to his father's questioning gaze and motioned with his head towards the door. His father shifted his gaze and finally noticed Kagome.

“Aa. Kagome, come join us.”

She walked slowly, no doubt knowing that a punishment was at hand, and when she was next to him she dropped to her knees.

“Elder, I bombed the assholes across the street.”

The insanity of the woman was just ludicrous.

/InuTaisho

“You did what?”

He rubbed the bridge of his nose harshly, a headache forming against his will. He would've laughed, the whole thing was just so unbelievable. He looked up and saw InuYasha with a grin, Sesshomaru with looks to kill.

“I bombed the mainframe, I mean, why not? They were trying to hack anyways, couldn't have bombed the mainframe if they hadn't at least tried.”

He looked up to her with a look clearly meaning `And?'.

“Well fine,” she growled, “you go right ahead and let them sell your damn information to the black market!”

Sesshomaru grabbed her neck, his claws drawing blood, “Watch your language woman.”

She narrowed her eyes at him, “I've been wanting to shoot at you myself buster.”

“Sesshomaru,” the Elder warned.

Sesshomaru looked up with an incredulous look and a clear `Why not!” but he shook his head in response. He threw her forward and Kagome was propelled forward. Kagome's head banged against the mahogany desk in front of her and crumpled to the floor.

“Shit!” InuYasha said, moving forward.

Sesshomaru held him back, just a tad bit pleased, hoping that she was dead. But, fate always was cruel, she got up with a pissed off look.

“Asshole!”

She snapped her wrist and started throwing daggers at him, one after another. Sesshomaru ducked, and maneuvered around all of them but didn't see her withdraw her gun.

“Kagome!” the elder growled.

Kagome shot at Sesshomaru and they all saw as he moved out of the way, a lock of his hair flittering to the ground. She didn't turn to acknowledge her leader, instead she moved to pick up the lock of hair and left the room.

“Bitch,” Sesshomaru growled, his eyes bloodshot.

Twice, twice! Twice the woman had wounded his damaged pride and gotten away with it! His movements were quick, slender, unseen.

“Sess-.”

InuYasha raised his hand and silenced him before he could say more.

“Let him,” he said with a grin, “he's been wanting to do something to that girl for a while now.”

“There will be no mutiny in this group InuYasha!”

InuYasha turned surprised eyes on his father.

“Learn! One mutiny unleashes a domino effect! Next thing you'll know, all of the men will rebel against my authority also!”

InuYasha growled angrily and left the room quickly.

“You better be going after your brother to have left me without proper dismissal InuYasha!”

A `Yeah' echoed in the hallway and a guard moved to close the door from the outside. He rubbed the bridge of his nose, which he noticed was becoming a habit now that the woman had joined. Which led him to the papers on his desk.

“Initiation, kill, rebellion, kill, job-.”

His eyes widened at an envelope with a silver seal. He'd only heard of the seal, the silver seal encrusted with a silver `Y'.

“Yakuza,” he breathed. “Well, about damn time they found out!”

/Sesshomaru

His taught restraint, those strong lines of self-control were being played on like guitar strings. There were people everywhere, ningen and youkai alike, and blocking his path. It was like they knew he was after the insufferable woman and they wanted to prevent him from reclaiming his glory. His claws lengthened, but he couldn't very well kill his father's people.

“Move!” he growled quickly.

They looked up at him and shoved into others to make way. Bested or not, he was still power and still dangerous. However, much to their jeopardy, by the time he got to the other side her scent was mixed in with other's. His crimson eyes turned on the mass, if he didn't know where her room was already, he'd kill them all.

“Sesshomaru!”

His eyes quickly turned to his younger brother. His inner youkai screamed an enraged denial, not wanting to be deprived of his hunt. No, this wasn't over just quite yet. Not at all. He turned on his heel and traveled through the blurrs of white halls and beige doors. This was the part of the underground building that housed the assassins, snipers, and all others that had gone against the Yakuza.

“Sesshomaru!”

He could hear him off in the distance still, a bit blurred. Yet, that didn't matter. The door in front of him read `240' and that's all that mattered. He flashed an anticipated smile, one full of need and excitement. The door was locked, but being the son of the Elder had it's advantages. Full access. He slid in the universal key that could open all the locks in the building except for the V.I.P. rooms. The door slid open quietly and the radio attacked his hearing with silver knives. He closed the door quickly, knowing that InuYasha would know where he was anyways.

“I am the son and the heir,” he could hear her from the bathroom, singing. “Of nothing in particular.”

His eyes narrowed, she could continue all she wanted. Only screams would be heard with his torture of her female body.

“You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way?”

His claws twitched as he got closer to her voice. If she was as trained as she said she was, which he didn't doubt she was, she had already sensed his approach. Why she hadn't done anything about it was beyond him, but worked to his advantage.

“Foolish bitch,” he ground out.

He stopped finding a gun to his neck, “Or a smart one.”

“I am human and I need to be loved,” continued the voice, tauntingly getting closer. "Just like everybody else does."

Sango stepped out of an adjoining room with a towel wrapped around her body. She jumped in shock at seeing one of the leader's sons in the room and quickly grasped the cloth closer to her wet skin. Her eyes kept shifting from Kagome and his persona curiously.

“Sesshomaru, God damnit!”

InuYasha burst into the room wildly and Sango yelped in indignation. She retreated into the bathroom and turned off the music with a loud hit to the stereo. He could smell her blood from where his claws were digging into her skin. His poison seeped into her open wounds, no doubt weakening her body as the seconds rolled by. Yet her grip and threat still stood strong, unwavering. A ridiculous, no doubt, minuscule part of himself said that if ever the need for a mate arose she would be fitting. Strong and unwavering, an assassin capable of protecting herself from any race.

“Father specifically told you not to threaten each other until-.”

“Cut the bullshit, asshole,” Kagome cut in. “I haven't got the time. Now, come get your brother before I purify his balls off.”

InuYasha couldn't help but grin as he went and gripped his brother, knowing the instant she let go he'd swing at her. She backed away quickly, shoving Sesshomaru away.

“The last thing I need is problems with the higher up,” she said glaring into his golden pools. “And I do mean your father.”

Sesshomaru ripped away from his brother and held her by her neck. Kagome lifted her legs and kicked him in the chest, her holy powers repelling his youki. She was no fool, she knew that a kick from her was highly compared to a fly trying to push over a human.

“I'm changing the locks, notify the elder that it's for personal reasons.”

InuYasha chuckled and turned around. Bad thing, too. The second he left Sesshomaru unguarded, his guns were out and shooting at Kagome. She'd ducked, but not before a bullet grazed her right shoulder blade.

“Fucking dog!”

“That's a promise bitch,” he growled, his eyes pinning her down with the bloody gaze.

InuYasha tried to usher him out with gentle pressure on his arm but Sesshomaru punched him into the wall. No words were exchanged, Sesshomaru left on his own. Sango got out again, fully clothed, and looked down at Kagome.

“I told you he would get you,” she reprimanded.

“Oh shut up and get the alcohol and bandages will you?”
