InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Uptown Girl ❯ Chapter 13 ( Chapter 14 )

Inuyasha watched as Jade's bike moved out of sight down the road, followed by the dark SUV before he turned back to his home. A sigh escaped his lips as Inuyasha thought about his night with the mechanic. “Man, I wish that I'd been able to do more than comfort her. To have her scream my name in ecstasy would have been perfect,” he thought wishfully as he wandered down the halls into the immaculate kitchen. After searching for a few minutes, Inuyasha found his beloved ramen and heated it up. Once it was heated, he sat at the table, reading over the morning's newspaper as his older brother wandered into the kitchen.

 

Inuyasha glared at the full blooded dog demon as Sesshomaru poured himself a cup of coffee. Without so much as a look at Inuyasha, Sesshomaru asked, “What's your problem?”

 

Going back to his noodles, Inuyasha growled, “You.”

 

With a raised eyebrow, Sesshomaru finally looked at his brother. After a few sniffs of the air a look of amusement crossed his face. “You spent the night at a wolf demon's home. A taken hanyou at that and in her bed no less. You must be desperate to not have any sexual relations with that clay bitch you have running after you.”

 

Inuyasha shot his brother a death glare as he finished his ramen. “What's your problem? Haven't been getting it from your wind witch lately?” Inuyasha shot back, growling at his arrogant brother.

 

A slow smile crossed Sesshomaru's face at having hit a nerve. “Like I would tell you of my sexual experiences with Kagura, mutt. I at least have the decency to take a woman who has not been spoke for, where as you screw anything on two legs,” Sesshomaru countered as he systematically continued to drain his coffee cup, ignoring the jab at his manhood and relation with Kagura Viento, his fiancé.

 

Placing his now empty bowl on the kitchen table, Inuyasha glared at his brother as he replied, “Well at least I have the decency to tell my ex that we're through before I start dating someone else. If I remember correctly you never officially broke it off with Kagome before she was thrown out of college. I also recall that you had something to do with that as well.”

 

Sesshomaru glared at his brother as he asked, “Why would you bring her up all of a sudden, little brother? She's history and you know it.”

 

“Is she? I happened to have seen her at the Wolf's Den Bar and Grill last night, nearly getting the crap beat out of her by some bad ass named Naraku. If it hadn't been for my little mechanic saving her ass, it would have ended badly for Kagome,” Inuyasha spat at his brother.

 

Sesshomaru downed his first cup of coffee, only to pour a second as he calmly commented, “I'll deal with Kagome later. As for you, Inuyasha, I'd best warn you, if it was for your own good, to avoid your bitch. She's in heat and wanting to make you a proud father.” A smirk crossed the demons face as he saw a look of horror cross his half brother's face. “I seem to have hit a nerve with this one, more so that his bit about Kagome,” Sesshomaru thought as he waited for his brother to stop impersonating a fish out of water.

 

At hearing this most recent bit of news, Inuyasha just stared blankly at his brother in disbelief as he asked, “When did you see Kikyo?”

 

“She stopped by earlier to see if you were over your illness from last night. I told her that you weren't here and she went ballistic. After her little tantrum she stormed out of here and left. I've not seen her since,” he replied coldly as he finished his second cup of coffee.

 

As Sesshomaru turned to leave, Inuyasha asked, his voice full of concern as he knew that her tantrums normally ended in a violent act, usually ragged claw marks down his back after a wild romp in bed, “Do you know where she went?”

 

“Nope, and I really don't care. She's not my psycho girlfriend, and I hope that for your sake that she's never a part of this family,” Sesshomaru replied, taking his leave of the kitchen as if it were something to be despised, still deep in thought about Kagome's sudden appearance.

 

A number of thoughts flashed through Inuyasha's mind as to the whereabouts of his psychotic girlfriend ground all other thoughts to a halt. “If she's mad at me, then where would she go? What would she do? Who will get the brunt end of her fury?” he thought, shivering at every possible response. He grabbed his cell phone from its place on his hip, trying to call her cell in an effort to try and explain his absence. When all he got was the voice mail, Inuyasha left his message, hoping that she'd call back. Unbeknownst to him, his cell battery died shortly after his call, leaving no way for anyone to get a hold of him, especially Jade, for whom he feared the most.

 

 

As Inuyasha heard the news of his psychotic girlfriend and her tantrum, Jade pulled into the parking lot of the Rojo Lobo Auto shop. Once she removed her helmet, she locked up her bike as she opened the front door to the shop. Quickly she dressed in her coveralls, not wanting to get as grease covered as she usually did, seeing as she was going to take Miroku, Sango and Kagome out for a relaxing lunch. She grabbed the clip board with Inuyasha's ticket on it as she lifted the rack up so that she could work on the car.

 

After a few hours of work on the transmission, Jade was able to safely say that not that much damage had been done, and that her immediate interventions prevented further problems. Once she placed a call to Shippo at Auto Zone, and found that he would have the parts by Monday, she placed a call to Inuyasha's cell, leaving a message to have him call her back at his earliest convenience. She lowered the rack and raised the hood of the Mustang, beginning her work on the engine for the tune up he'd originally ordered. As she moved to replacing the spark plug wires, the distributor cap and fuel filter, Jade failed to notice the door of the shop open and close on a day that the shop normally didn't operate, seeing as it was the weekend.

 

With the music of Queen's `Another one Bites the Dust' blaring in the back ground from the radio a mysterious dark haired woman came up behind Jade, brandishing a crow bar. At the last second, hearing the swoosh of the implement coming toward her, Jade flipped over onto her back, forcing her left arm into a defensive block, taking the brunt force of the weapon. As the bones in her forearm shattered from the impact, Jade saw the fire burn in brown eyes, as she glared into Kikyo's enraged face.

 

“How dare you!! How dare you take away my… PRECIOUS!” the enraged woman screamed. She raised her weapon again as Jade used a free leg to push her away from the car and her supine form. Blood flowed down her arm, tickling her fingers as it dripped onto the floor. Circling the injured woman, Kikyo continued her rant, “Bitch, you slept with my precious, made him lie to me so that you could have a good rut with him. You did this to take him AWAY FROM ME!!!” she screamed.

 

Once the pieces started to fall into place and Jade realized who the crazed woman was speaking of, she nearly laughed, if the situation had not been so grave. “I don't even want Inuyasha, Kikyo. You're gravely mistaken by his actions. They are one sided on his part, since I'm already spoken for,” Jade replied, trying to reason with the enraged woman as she pulled the edge of her coveralls and tee shirt down to show the courting mark from Koga upon her neck.

 

“That's immaterial,” Kikyo replied, “For all I know, Inuyasha put that on you some time ago. Now you will die for your interference.” She took a few tentative swings at the hanyou with the crow bar; each was either blocked by her good arm or missed and struck a tool bench or vehicle, indiscriminately. As the blood continued to flow down her arm, Jade's vision began to blur and her movements became slow, allowing Kikyo to get in a few good hits, cracking numerous ribs, leaving huge two pronged gashes on her left shoulder, upper arms, as well as numerous minor cuts and bruises.

 

Suddenly the door to the shop opened, startling Kikyo from her blind rage as a rough male voice called out for Jade. “Oh shit,” she thought as she looked at the wounded woman before her, “What have I done?” She dropped the bloody crowbar at Jade's feet, moments before the injured woman dropped to the ground, unconscious. Kikyo ran out the back door, leaving it open as the foot steps of heavy boots sounded on the concrete floor when no response was heard.
