THE WAR OF BLOODY *LOVE

CHAPTER 12: THE STEALING

Inuyasha and Miroku open the doors to the meeting hall and stands at the door. All the people inside instantly go quiet as they lay eyes on the two men standing at the door of the meeting hall, not saying a sound as they both silently walk to their seats, totally unaware of every eyes on them, including Naraku. They take their seats and look up at Naraku expectantly, waiting for him to talk.

When Naraku laid his eyes on Miroku and Inuyasha-alive! - He was very surprised, and yet…disappointed…

"Well, look who the cat dragged in," Naraku said, his evil eyes looking at Miroku and Inuyasha with hate.(he looks at everyone like that.) "It seems that you two are not dead, as we thought."

"No. We are not," Miroku replied.

"Well, it seems that cuts half of this meeting short," Naraku said. "We were going to talk about your deaths, but since you're not dead…we can move on."

"Yes. You do that," Inuyasha said in a bored tone.

He was already weak. And he was sure Miroku was too. They both only had birds to eat, and that was long gone from their systems. He could once again feel the burn of the need in his veins. It was burning him to no end. Tonight, no matter what he had to do, he was going hunting, even though he hated it. It was wrong. It was wrong to take something so unwillingly like that. To suck it from their body- their blood.

Nevertheless, he had to do it, as did Miroku. After he got some blood, he was going to take a long sleep. He might even sleep through the tomorrow like the original vampires did, that's how tired he was.

"What happened the other night was a close call," Naraku started. "The werewolves outnumbered us and because of that, we could have all been killed."

"We could have all been killed?" Inuyasha questioned. "You weren't even there fighting. It was us that could have been killed," he said pointing to the people sitting in the room. Miroku nodded his head in agreement.

"Inuyasha! Watch your tongue with me!" Naraku snapped.

"He has a point," Miroku said without much energy. "But we were well prepared. Though our enemies were many, we still had the advantage of the battlefield with our skills. We still even got to take some of their dead, did we not? That counts as a bonus because I know we got more than usual this time. They are becoming aggravated that we do manage to take their dead. They view it as a somewhat disrespect to their dead. But that is what you want them to believe anyway, isn't that right Naraku?"

Naraku just snared at Miroku and Miroku just smiled.

"Anyway," Naraku said. "That will not be our last battle. The werewolves are even more bloodthirsty than we are. And they will stop at nothing to stop us…"

Inuyasha didn't hear what Naraku was saying. Moreover, he didn't give a damn. The only thing he was thinking of right at that moment was a blue-eyed girl. He and Miroku would have to take them away tonight, after the meeting. The werewolves were bound to find their scents all over those girls. Luckily, Miroku and him had gone home and erased the girl's scents from themselves. If they hadn't, every single one of the people in the room right then would be able to smell it.

They would have to be taken to their home. It was far from here, but Miroku had his car.

He was sure it was for he best of the girls. He was sure there would be another fight tonight. And he was sure it would happen soon.

But was he sure it wasn't for another reason...

**********

Kagome opened her eyes to see her dark room. She sat up and wiped her eyes. Her room was nice and cool, and she felt a nice breeze on her skin. With a little clumsiness, she stumbles out of her bed and found the light. She winces a bit when the bright light hits her eyes. She looks to the left and sees her window is open, causing the cool breeze of the summer night to roam her room and body.

"That's what I felt," she mutters.

She turns to look at her bed and realizes that her clothes are not there.

"What the hell…maybe Sango did it for me. Let me go thank her."

Walking out the room, Kagome walks down the long hallway and turns a corner that leads to Sango's bedroom. She knocks once and waits for a response. When she doesn't hear one, she slowly opens the door a creak, to see a dim light fall out into the hallway.

"Sango?"

Kagome walks in and smiles at what she sees. Sango seems to be sleeping in her bed with the television long forgotten. Kagome walks over to her and takes the remote out of her sleeping hand and turns the television off. Kagome walks out quietly and shuts the door behind her.

"Maybe I'll get a snack…"

Kagome walks to the kitchen and switches on the light. And the first thing she sees is Inuyasha's talisman on the counter.

"That fucking Inuyasha," she murmurs under her breath as she opens a cupboard. She pulls out a box of honey-nut cheerios[loves those. So damn good!!] She slams the cupboard shut and opens another one to get a bowl.

"Who the hell does he think he is coming into over my house like that?!"

She opens the fridge to get the container of milk and prepares her cereal. Kagome starts to eat when her eyes drift to the talisman that still lies on the counter…

"Why didn't he take it? He nearly strangles me and he doesn't take it." She slowly walks over to it, slowly as if she's literally being draw to it. She stops and glares at it as it lay there. "All this trouble. And for what?" she whispers softly. "What have I gotten myself into? I can feel it….its bad…so bad. And I just made myself a part of it."

Kagome traces the red moon carved on the talisman with her finger. Her hands tremble slightly as she does so. Suddenly, Kagome gets an idea. Snatching up the talisman in her hand and running back to her room, she immediately brings out her easel, paintbrushes, and white paper. Setting everything up and sitting in a chair, she begins to draw the talisman that is resting in her hand.

Being sure not to make a mistake, Kagome carefully dipped her paintbrush in her gold paint and began making the talisman. First, she gently stroked out the oval shape of the talisman, adding the pointed top with a light quick stroke of her brush. She drew the shape slightly tilted to the side, giving a view of the side of the picture. This would be a quick and easy picture and Kagome knew it. But she had to draw this no matter how simple. Something about this talisman was important and she didn't ever want to loose that feeling. Therefore, a drawing would be the best way to keep it forever.

Kagome finished the shape of the talisman, and then worked on painting the inside gold. Giving it a nice solid look. She then dipped her other paintbrush into the red paint and brought it to the paper. She hesitated for a second, then she began to paint the red moon upon the gold outline of the talisman. Making sure to give it the same 3-D look the talisman had, Kagome dropped the used red paintbrush into a cup of water.

After that, she quickly drew the chain that was used to put it over your neck. As a final touch, Kagome brought out her small thin paint brush and dipped it in black paint. She carefully outlined the talisman. When she was done, she observed her work. The only way to describe it was pure astonishment. Though this was a simple task to do, the way it was painted made it look much more difficult than it really was.

The pictures looked as if you could reach in and grab it off the very page. The way it stood out, as if looking directly at you…wonderful work. The blood red moon caught your eyes and trapped you there as if for all eternity. Then, as an after thought, Kagome dipped her thick paintbrush into the red paint and stroked three letters at the bottom of the page.

Inu…

She let the extra paint run down to the end of the white paper. Like blood…

"Inu…" Kagome whispered. "Where the hell are you?"

"You called?" a manly voice said from somewhere in the room.

Kagome froze. Her heart sped up twice its normal speed. She couldn't breath, couldn't talk, couldn't move. She didn't have to turn around to know who it was. It was he…Inu…Inuyasha. What was he doing here? Why did he come back? Was his friend, Miroku here with him? Is he going to try to kill her…?! Kagome slowly breathed in and out…in and out. Out, in…

She dared herself to turn around. And she did. And there he was…sitting on her window ledge; hand grasping the open window pulled above his head. His feet still dangling outside her window. Did he not realize that he was two stories above the ground? But wait, he was a vampire right? Meaning he could…like jump out windows and not kill himself…Kagome could only hope he didn't end up splattered on her yard floor.

Kagome didn't even move an inch, and neither did he. He just stared at her with those smoldering black eyes and said nothing…until he said in a low voice…

"Invite me in…"

**********

Kagome's POV

I just stared at him. Invite him in! When he was there just this morning out of the decency of my heart and tried to kill me…and he wanted me to invite him in! No way in hell am I letting him in…I have no idea who he is! But…why does he always look at me like that? As if…I don't even know. His eyes…they seem to be looking into my soul, as if searching…

No…he wasn't coming in. I knew the rule. Vampires were not allowed to come into a humans house or sleeping place without being invited in. It was because the place was a somewhat sanctuary to the humans, and since the vampires were creatures of the night, they weren't allowed in. but if they were to be asked in, from that day on, they were allowed to enter and leave as they please.

He was not coming in.

But why? Why did my mouth betray me so? I couldn't believe it as I felt my lips form two words against my will.

"Come in," I whispered.

He was in.

**********

Miroku tapped constantly at the girl's window. He knew she was in here. Doing what? He had no idea. But it had better be good for leaving him out here so long. He was positive she was in there; his nose never lies. She smelled stronger in this room. He continued his tapping, already getting pissed at the long wait. Suddenly, he heard some rustling beyond the window.

It seemed his night was looking up. He tapped more loudly now. She must be doing something very interesting to keep from hearing the noise he was making on her window. The rustling continued and then he heard feet hitting the floor. Then he heard mumbling, but he couldn't quite hear what was said. He tapped some more, then he started to bang on the window…hard.

What the fuck is wrong with this girl?! Didn't she hear him? They needed to hurry up and leave.

Suddenly, the curtains were pushed aside, the windows opened, and Miroku was face to face once again with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. He marveled at her beauty…

At least, before she screamed bloody murder.

**********

Kagome's POV

He lifted one leg over the windowsill, then another, and the next thing I knew he was standing inside my room.

He smiled. I saw his fangs. Perfectly white fangs that could easily pierce my skin in an instant. But that smile made him look so handsome. Handsome was not the word. He was far past it. He was...inhumanly handsome. Far too good looking that it was almost scary and sensual at the same time. His long dark hair hung around his face and shoulders, making him look all the more perfect if it was possible.

My eyes couldn't help but wonder to his lips, but I quickly checked myself and looked away. I could already feel my cheeks flaming red. What the hell was going on with me?! I decided to open my mouth since all he seemed to do was smile at me like that!

"So…"I started quietly. "You're a vampire I see. Why haven't you sucked my blood…or do whatever it is you can do?"

"So if you know what I am, why aren't you screaming like the rest of them do?" he asked, totally ignoring my question.

"I am not like the rest of them I guess." I replied still quietly.

"You sure aren't…" he said. He then raked my body shamelessly with his eyes. Looking me up and down. I turned my head away, feeling my face heat up more. He was sensual…it was almost too much to stand for me with him being in my room like he was.

"Get out!" I hissed. How dare he look at me like that!

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Your orders worked before, but not this time. I can't always leave you, you know."

"What are you talking about?" It was then that I realized my fear for him was completely gone. I realized for some reason I couldn't stay mad at him…

"I'm talking about-" he began. He was cut off by a scream.

"Sango!" I jumped up and without a second glance at Inuyasha, I ran out the door towards Sango's room with speed that even impressed me. I didn't even stop outside the door. I just kicked it open and barged right inside. That's when I saw Sango trying unsuccessfully to close the window, while Miroku looked quite annoyed and impatient holding the window up with much ease.

"What the hell is going on here?!" I yelled.

"K-Kagome!" Sango said, still trying to close the window. "These bastards are back! Help me close the window!"

I didn't even think twice. I ran over to her and we both grabbed the window and tried to push the window down. But nothing worked with Miroku holding it up. And with one hand!

"It won't work!" Miroku said still holding. "Just invite me in Sango and everything will be explained."

"Are you crazy?!" Sango yelled, giving up on the window to now try to push Miroku out the window.

"Inuyasha, please help," Miroku said boldly

"Inuyasha!" Sango gasped as she turned around. "You're here?! Oh my God! Why wont you leave us alone?!"

"Kagome invited me in." Inuyasha said smiling slightly.

"Are you nuts?!" Sango yelled at me. "If I won't tell Miroku to come in, why would you-"

"Why thank you dearest Sango," Miroku said as he climbed through the window and stood beside Inuyasha. "We have to go. Now!" he said looking at Inuyasha.

"I know. They already started fighting. And God knows what they will do to us if we're not there."

Miroku nodded and then, quickly, went to Sango and scooped her over his shoulder. She screamed, and I screamed to because I knew Inuyasha was going to do the same. Only if the bastard could catch me. I dashed across the room, trying to get out of his reach, but that wasn't very far, and he was quickly upon me. He grabbed my arm and yanked me to him. He quickly put my arm over his head and threw me over his shoulder like Sango.

"Put me down!" I screamed. He dropped me on the floor.

Then I heard Sango drop also when she told Miroku to let her go. I looked up and saw Miroku and Inuyasha sharing a knowing look. And then Miroku was approaching me, and before I could utter a word, I was over his shoulder, Sango was over Inuyasha's shoulder, and they were walking to the window! I started to scream and thrash even more, with all of my strength.

I pounded and scratched at Miroku's back. But nothing seemed to affect him. And when I saw him rest his foot on the window sill-ready to jump out, my heart nearly leapt out my chest. Jumping two stories for a vampire is nothing. But jumping with a human girl over your shoulder-that was something! I desperately looked up and met the eyes of Inuyasha.

He was looking at me with a big grin.

"You!" I shouted over Miroku's shoulder. It was all I could say, I was so pissed. But Inuyasha just smiled brighter and…poked his lips out as if he was going to kiss me! Then Miroku jumped out the window.

**********

Miroku landed with ease, his knees slightly bended. He jumped up and straightened out, not waiting anytime at all. He could hear Inuyasha's quick feet behind him, running, following his pace. The two men, along with the women draped over their shoulders, quickly ran along the driveway from the house and up the dark winding street.

Together they ran and ran some spots on the street still sodden with the previous rain. Their black combat boots splashing and thumbing against the hard cement beneath their feet. They ran, both not even breaking a sweat. They ran until a car came into view on the dark road. It was all black and stationed under a thick tree alongside the road, acting as some kind of cover.

Miroku and Inuyasha reached the car and set the girls down. As soon as Kagome and Sango's feet touched the ground, the two girls sprinted away from the two men, desperately trying to escape. But the two girls were not having a good day. In seconds, they were both grabbed and thrown into the backseat of the car as Miroku and Inuyasha scrambled into the front and passenger seat.

The car was soon started and was zooming down the dark street.

**********

"Let us out right now!" Kagome screamed, banging the flat of her foot on the back of Inuyasha's chair.

"Stop that, you bitch!" Inuyasha snarled at her without turning around.

"Fuck you," Sango snarled, banging on the window. "Why are you doing this to us?! What did we ever do to you?"

"Nothing," Miroku answered simply keeping his eyes on the road because he was driving the car.

"If we did nothing, why are we being kidnapped," Sango said.

"We will tell you when we get home," Miroku said.

"Home?! Home?! You just stole us from our fucking home," Kagome yelled, resuming her foot stomping on the chair.

Inuyasha turned around and grabbed both of Kagome's ankles and yanked her forward, causing her feet to be in between the two front seats and her back on the edge of the seat she was sitting in.

"Let me go!" Kagome said twisting her feet out of his grasp. Surprisingly, he did let her go. "You better!" she warned, then proceeded to bang her foot on the car door instead. The car suddenly swerved and Sango leaned into Kagome with the car.

"What the fuck!" Miroku cursed. "If you dent my car, I'll-"

"You'll what?!" Sango asked. "Kill us? I think you already have that on your mind!" Miroku turned around and looked at Sango, his head moving up and down quickly as he checked out Sango's body.

"I think I have something else on my mind," he said with a grin, then turned around to look at the road.

Sango just sat there in the back seat, her mouth wide open in astonishment. She slowly turned to Kagome and whispered," Their going to rape us!"

"Oh, please. We are not going to rape you," Inuyasha said. "Just sit back and relax, because this is going to be a long ride."

Literally.
