Chapter 26

The Dragon-Lady has returned.

Rin looked at the sign on the inn. She was sure this is where her husband was staying. She couldn't believe that she flew all the way to South America, and was tired from the long flight. She couldn't stand not being so close to her mate, and felt that he needed her the most now with Inuyasha still missing.

Rin knew that Sesshomaru would be displeased with her, but she didn't care. The need to be near him pulled at her heart. Therefore, she decided to take an overnight flight. She called her family and let them know as well.

Walking in to the Le Meridian Pegasus, she looked around. The hotel was elegant; of course, she did not expect any less with her mate. Extravagant was more of a word she was looking for. Approaching the front desk, she asked the clerk what room her husband was staying. Smiling, she grabbed the key then turned to the man once again, “Please, don't tell my husband that I'm here…I want it to be a surprise. Oh, and please send my luggage up. The driver said he would bring it in.” She then turned and headed up the stairs, not realizing that someone was following her.

Bankotsu worked all night finding as much information on the brothers' as he could. Of course he already new Sesshomaru being Inuyasha's friend at one time. Writing on a tablet sitting next to him, he wrote down the whereabouts of there homes. Of course, he'd have to send men to the states, if Naraku wanted his plans to be fulfilled.

Under his investigation, he found out where Sesshomaru was staying. It wasn't a far drive where he was located and wanted to check the premises before he send men on their wayward mission. Normally Bankotsu wouldn't dream of doing detective work, but since Naraku asked him, he didn't mind.

Grabbing his Jacket and his keys, he walked out of the police station and into an undercover cruiser. Starting the engine, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Of course, he didn't like that he was going to kidnap his ex-best friend's wife. Importunely if he failed, Naraku would surly kill him. He could only hope that Rin wouldn't be harmed, like his boss promised. Bankotsu was also curious whom this Kagome person was—what was so special, that left his boss lusting after Inuyasha's girl. Pushing the thought aside, he began driving to the Inn, where Sesshomaru was staying.

“Inuyasha can we stop, I have to use the little girl's room and I could use a break—maybe stretch my legs?” Kagome pleaded. She could not wait until they arrived; of course listening to Shippo complaining about carrying a hoodlum on his back, and Sesshomaru telling him to shut up was amusing. However, she wasn't thrilled about getting into a plane, even Sesshomaru dreaded.

“What!” Inuyasha snapped, “You just went an hour ago!”

“Please.” She tried pleading with him. `We were getting along so well too.'

Sesshomaru listened intently to the two, and rolled his eyes. He could not believe how much they argued. Inuyasha did always have a temper and she was very well suited for him as a mate. Of course, he stopped again, and then turned to his brother, “Five minutes!” He gave Kagome a hard stare and said, “If you're not done, we're leaving without you!”

“What! What do you mean you're leaving without me…Fuck! It's not like I can control my bladder—like some demons I know!” Kagome retorted, she didn't care who he was. She was grumpy, hungry, and just wanted out of the jungle. Bugs were bothering her, the heat was bothering her, and everything that made a noise annoyed her. Stomping off she went to find a secluded area, not to far from the group.

“God what's up her ass?” Shippo asked, placing Hiten down. He also was relieved of the break. Shippo watched Hiten carefully as the human sat on a large bolder, lighting up his cigarette. Shippo just snorted waiting for someone to answer him.

“You have a nose right Shippo? Or did you lose your sense of smell as well as your brain.” Sesshomaru said snidely as he walked by the fox and towards his brother. “Come Inuyasha we need to talk!”

Inuyasha looked at his brother with a curious glare, “What is so important that we cannot discuss this in front of the group?” he asked following his brother up the riverbank. Of course Sesshomaru decided to follow the river down, instead of dealing with the over abundant vegetation. Inuyasha could not blame his brother of course; he was still agitated that those vines could have very well gotten them killed.

“Do not tell me dear brother that you can't smell Kagome—even I'm having a hard time around her. And that fox is too dense to even know a female's body.”

“I can still hear you…you know!” Shippo yelled.

“Give them some privacy,” Hiten spoke firmly. He knew what the taller demon was referring too. “If you don't know, then don't ask.”

Shippo growled, “Shut up, before I shut you up!”

Hiten chuckled and returned to his cigarette keeping quiet.

“Smell what? What do you mean smell—she smells fine to me!” Of course, Inuyasha's senses were dissipating. Inuyasha knew what tonight was. It was the night of the new moon; he would become human and just wanted to leave this hellhole. So Kagome smelled as she always did. And her attitude wasn't phasing him since she was like that when he first met her. He just figured she was grumpy. Hell, he was grumpy too.

Sesshomaru couldn't believe that Inuyasha's senses where fading, and it wasn't even noon. “Well little brother, since I know what tonight is I'll make it easier for you to understand. Your woman is going into heat, and her pheromones are even driving me crazy. We can't keep stopping, since you're now vulnerable.”

Inuyasha closed his eyes trying so hard to smell Kagome. He growled, all he could smell was the fresh air, cigarette smoke, and the vegetation surrounding them. “Fuck!” he cursed. He hated this time on night. He would lose all his senses and that made him edgy especially since Naraku could be lurking around. What aggravated him even more was that his damn brother could smell her and it made even him aroused. Inuyasha was the only one to that right! Looking over to where Kagome departed he yelled, “Sweetheart, are you done yet? We don't have all day you know!”

Sesshomaru chuckled, as he returned to the front of the group. They maybe had an hour to two hours travel the most. The hike was a smooth one thus far. He didn't know what it would be like more downstream. Then he dreaded going into that fox's plane.

“Shippo come here?” Sesshomaru demanded, then turned to Hiten, “ Don't even think about running! I will be in front of you before you even get your feet on the ground.”

Shippo sighed, “Yeah?”

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes; he seemed to do that often. “How long will it take to the hotel from the plane?”

Shippo closed his eyes trying to calculate, the distance he wrote down on his chart. Smiling he looked up at the tall demon. “Half an hour... Why?”

Leaning down, he whispered in Shippo's ear, “tonight is Inuyasha's transformation. It's not safe to be in the jungle when Naraku could still be lurking around…” Of course, Sesshomaru couldn't smell any possible threats, and also was grateful that Shippo was to dense to even notice Kagome's change in scent. He was pleased that his whelp of a brother didn't impregnate her just yet. Even thought the scent of their copulation was still fresh in the air. Anyone with a demon's scent knew that she been claimed. `What the hell is taking her so long?'

Kagome couldn't find a suitable spot, so she traveled further into the forest. Smiling, she found a nice patch of ground that wasn't covered in thick vegetation. She could still hear the roaring of the swelled river, and barely could see the group. Squatting down, she relived herself. When she was done, she looked around for a suitable leaf to wipe. She just felt unsanitized, not having any toilet paper around.

Looking to her right she could see a small sapling. Grabbing the leaves, she screamed loudly, as a green vine snake coiled around the branches. Pulling down her skirt, she ran out of the forest only to be met with three demons staring at her with bewildered expressions. She wanted to cry, just runaway and cry. She hated it here; everything about the jungle was just evil. Snakes, spiders, monkeys, cats and birds—every one of them was after her, she just knew it. Now she'd have to explain herself. She was already feeling humiliated, being scared of a tree snake. She couldn't help it though the large green eyes, the red tongue, reaching out to her.

Kagome gave the demons a hard cold stare, and then pushed past them. “Well, what are you standing around for? I thought you said I only had five minutes.”

The three of them just looked at each other then Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders, as they followed the irate woman. `I see I didn't tame the dragon after all.'

Hiten was wise not to leave, however, where was there anywhere to go. He laughed as Kagome stormed by him. “P.M.S. is a bitch aye?”

Kagome stopped mid track and turned to Hiten. Approaching the man who almost killed Inuyasha, she closed her fist tightly, and then punched him in the face as hard as she could. Smiling she said, “Yeah it sure is.”

Hiten didn't know what hit him until he fell backwards onto the hard ground. `Damn, she's got one hell of a hook.'

Sesshomaru was the first to roar with laughter, “you're woman is feisty little brother, this should be very interesting indeed.”

Bankotsu drove up to the le Meridian Pegasus; he couldn't believe how lucky his day was going. There she was—the one he needed to retrieve in the states. She was in South America. `When did she get here?' He figured it didn't matter, she was alone and it would be an easy hunt.

Bankotsu waited patiently as he watched her enter the building. Turning the car off, he grabbed his police badge and followed her. He wanted to be as incognito as possible. Grabbing a magazine, he was amazed as she walked right by him. Smiling Bankotsu slowly pursued her.

Reaching in his pocket, he pulled out a bottle of chloroform, which he kept in the glove box of his car. He never knew when it would come in handy. In his other pocket was a handkerchief. He slowly opened the bottle and placed a small amount onto the fabric. He watched her head toward the elevators, and he picked up his speed. Looking around to make sure no one would witness his crime. He waited for the doors to open. Grateful that nobody exited, he pushed Rin inside, and quickly pushed the button for the doors to close.

Rin was stunned until she saw the man in front of her, “Bankotsu…what in the world are you doing here? And why are you so…”

She didn't have time to finish her sentence, when his strong arms pushed her against the wall, and the fabric went over her mouth. He over powered her petite frame as she struggled. Bankotsu smiled, as she began to lose her struggle, thanks to the drug, but before she drifted into unconsciousness he smiled, “Good to see you too Rin.”
