Map: Way to your Heart

I don’t own Inuyasha. I’m poor, so it should be obvious.

A/N
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews.

Enjoy.


Chapter 7

The secne in the club couldn’t actually be called a brawl if one were to analyze it closely. In fact when Sesshoumaru and the others entered the club area they saw Sango beating the hell out of anyone trying to get out, away, or join the fight while Kagome was wrestling to get to their objective. Who might I add; looked so trapped at the moment!

Noticing that the guy Kagome was in pursuit of was much larger than she was, Sesshoumaru made his way over to her. Oh, Inuyasha was right behind him and Miroku stayed near Sango.

Sango had casually strolled inside the club knocking out anyone that could possibly get in the way. Once inside, she noticed that many of the men were in a rush to leave and she could not let them out. That would cause too much confusion. Instead of fist fighting them all, she took Hiraikotsu and used it as both a shield and a weapon to knock the oncoming men out.

When Kagome emerged from the back of the club she noticed Sango had already started without her, so she took a quick look around and noticed their target trying to make his way over to Sango. Deciding running would be the best option, Kagome sprinted out onto the runway of the club knocking some girl off it in the process. Once Kagome made it to end of the runway; she took a wild leap and tackled the target.


Hiten noticed Kagome jumping for him a moment too late. She tackled him, but was a little too slow getting to her feet. With a blast of lighting, Hiten knocked Kagome back into the wall behind the bar. He launched another wave at her but she brought her hand up and a barrier appeared. With his most effective attack stopped, Kagome made her way back over to him. This time she planted her foot in the middle of his chest knocking him back but not before he struck her in the face. Leaping to his feet (a little slower this time), Hiten delivered a hard punch to Kagome’s stomach making her breathless. Before he could bring another, Kagome dropped to the floor like dead weight and kicked him in the groin. This shocked him long enough for her to apply the handcuffs; there’s just one difference in her pair and normal ones. Kagome’s handcuffs restrict all movement. Good thing too, for if he were to get loose he would kill her without thinking twice.

….. Back at the house …….

Miroku, Sesshoumaru, and Inuyasha all sat quietly waiting on Sango and Kagome. The wanted it to seem like they never left, although if caught Sesshoumaru would not lie. He just thought it better they didn’t know they left. Then about 2am they walked through the door. Sesshoumaru was about to walk over to the door when he found his movements restricted.
“What is the meaning of this?” he called out as the girls made their way up the stairs.

“Remember what Kagome told you guys before we left?” Sango yelled back.

“Well welcome to hell. You shouldn’t have moved?” Kagome retorted. She was tired and sore. Kagome may not been mean by nature but she learned how, now the numb skulls would learn how to obey the hard way.

All of them had on shocked faces, even Sesshoumaru. What the… suddenly it occurred to him that ‘this’ was the punishment that Kagome spoke of earlier.

Sango turn to the men before disappearing into the hallway. “You will be able to move at 5am. May as well get some rest, and the next time you decide to disobey us you may want to think twice.” She turned and continued to bed.

Sesshoumaru as well as the others didn’t know what to do, especially him. He was a full demon (and a strong one at that) no one human should be able to rival his power, but here are 2 humans doing just that. Could their spiritual powers over take his demonic ones? Toutosai’s folder OBVIOUSLY left some details out. He would have to talk to him first thing.

…… Naraku’s Home ……

He was calmly sitting at his desk sipping tea when the door bell rang. A few moments later he made it to the door and found it was the witch Urasuwe he was waiting on.

“Took you long enough, Witch!”

“Please for give this old woman, Naraku. The request you made was most unusual, and it took me time to find everything needed.”

“Very well. Are you ready?”

“Yes. As soon as you burn her body and give me the ashes I can make her new body and attach her soul.”

Without another word Naraku walked over to where Kikyo lay and smiled evilly at her. The smile got wider when he pulled a 12 inch blade from behind his back and traced her body with it. Suddenly he ran the blade through her abdomen, and slowly pulled it out. He could have killed her with a more painless approach, but he is a sick, heartless bastard and anything short of cruel wouldn’t work. Kikyo’s eyes shot open as he repeated the step. “Don’t worry my dear it will all be over soon. Kami, I’ve wanted to do this for so long.” Naraku continued to stab her.

Soon Kikyo’s body was ready for cremation.

……… M.A.P H.Q …………..

Sesshoumaru sat waiting silently on Totousai to return to his office. He has repeatedly tried to contact this man for 4 days to no avail. Was he avoiding him?

The 5th day Sesshoumaru got lucky and trapped Totousai. He hoisted him up by the collar. “Where have you been old man?”

“Sesshoumaru-sama! Haha. You old Tyrant, the world doesn’t revolve around you.”

“I am aware of that, but as long as you have people working for me….. your world does. Now, Totousai, you need to answer some questions for me.”

“Like what Lord.” Totousai ask eyeing Sesshoumaru.

“I want to know how and why my little ‘MAPS’ are so strong.”

“Oh! You mean to tell you the information that is not in their file?”

“I’m growing tired of your games.”

Totousai took a large breath. Sesshoumaru’s reaction to his story is going to be anyone’s guess. “Do you know the name Suranouske Higurashi, Sesshoumaru-sama?”

“Yes. He was a priest with spiritual powers that were considered ethereal to demon and human alike. He was also a well known demon hater and exterminator.”

“That’s right. He, his decedents, and some of his followers are quite well known for their work.”

Man. As smart as Sesshoumaru is, he still isn’t making the ‘big connection’. “Get to your point.”

“Please listen, and it will all come together.” Totousai explained. “300 years ago after Suranouske’s death, some of his followers formed an official demon exterminator society despite the fact his family never stop slaying as well. The Slayer society way headed by Jin Kama, who we both know was well known for his physical strength and determination amongst many things. Then as you know demons and human started a co-existence about 125 year ago and things changed.”

“These women are their….”

“Indeed. And I am surprised that you didn’t know this by last name alone Sesshoumaru-sama. Now, the last thing that the file did not tell you, they are priestesses.”

“I knew that after their second fight. Of what kind?”

“The powerful kind. Ms. Higurashi’s power alone rivals the legend of her grandfather’s Suranouske.

Sesshoumaru left Totousai’s office with a lot on his mind. He was so wrapped up in thought in fact, that he almost missed the little display that was doing in his back yard.

…………Back Yard…………

“Hey! Fluffy wait.”

“What did I say about calling me that Mutt?”

“Feh! Whatever, just wait or you’ll miss Kagome and Sango training.”

Sesshoumaru raised his brow? “Really?”

“No shit. Oh, and Kagome went and got Rin and her kit today. Since school starts Monday. Tha brats are up stairs playing. The men headed toward the back of Sesshoumaru’s estate. There on about 2 Acers, Sango and Kagome stood in a large clearing.

After taking their battle stances, the girls stood in a stalemate for the longest time. This was not like one of the previous fights where they just rushed in. Finally Inuyasha couldn’t remain a silent spectator anymore “What tha hell is taking so long?” Suddenly their eyes went wide and stared to glow. Sango’s purple and Kagome’s pink.

As soon as the fight began it was very clear who the aggressor was between the two. Sango attacked Kagome with no mercy. Immediately she gave Kagome a punch to the face followed by a sweep kick. While Kagome was down that gave her enough time to pull out her hidden dagger.

Regaining her footing Kagome flipped back and came back for more of a tactical approach. Closing her eyes running toward Sango, she figured that it was worth get cut a little than a lot. Soon an arrow appeared in her hand. As Kagome ran by Sango, Sango cut her on the abdomen while she thrust the arrow into her upper thigh.

“Bitch.”

“I know. What are you gonna do about it?”

“HIRAIKOTSU! Ahhh!”

Inuyasha and the others don’t know how the hell she got to her weapon so fast but she did.

Kagome had seconds to move out of the way, but as she moved she barley missed Sango’s sacred sword, so in defense she threw a wild punch and drew her own sword. At this point the fight the fight got really bloody.

Soon Shippou and Rin came running out of the house and they stood beside Sesshoumaru. Shippou had towels and Rin was carrying water. Sesshoumaru looked down at down at them in wonder. Shouldn’t they be crying? “Both of you go back inside. Children should not watch this.”

“It’s ok.” Shippou chirped happily while watching Kagome knee Sango in the stomach. “Mama Kagome and Sango do this every day.” Suddenly he was interrupted again by Kagome’s screams. Sango’s hidden dagger was buried into her shoulder.

Miroku looked at the child thoughtfully then at the women. Especially his, now, dearest Sango. When did that happen? “You mean to tell me they fight to the point of injury every chance they get young Shippou?”

“Yes.” Rin cut in. “At the shrine where Rin and Shippou stays, Grandpa says this is good for the body and soul. So Shippou and Rin does it too.” She said smiling up at her beloved father. As both women lunged at each other again.

“Well know wonder that Bitch was KrAzY in High school. She was fighting like a mad woman before school started every morning.”

Sesshoumaru was quiet. He didn’t know what to think, they were teaching his girl to fight. Well there was no need in getting mad he did make an agreement, so he turned his attention back to his bleeding obsession. The fight was winding down and she would need someone to take care of her, but from the looks of it Inuyasha has the same idea.

………later the same night………..

“See you guys later I’m going to ‘escort’ Miroku somewhere. We’ll be back later.” Sango looked over to Kagome with a worried look on her face. “I can help heal you.”

“I can do it later; you go head. Be careful and love you.”

When Sango and Miroku walked out of the door Inuyasha saw his chance. “Hey is there anything I can do for you, Kagome?”

“No. No offense Inuyasha but …. Never mind do you know where the kids are?”

“……”

“Never mind I’ll find them.” As Kagome got up and wondered up stairs, her mind drifted to the relationship that Inuyasha has (as of lately) been trying to force on her. Even as much as she wanted to form some type of friendly bond, Kagome was barley okay with being his friend. His attitude stank. So a romantic relationship between the two of them at least in Kagome’s eyes was just not possible.

Soon she found herself in a large bedroom decorated in black, cream, and red. In the middle of the room stood a black king size bed with one mahogany night stand. The carpet was also black but the area where the bed stood was cream. The walls were a cream color and the curtains were cream and red. Kagome quickly figured out that this was Sesshoumaru’s room, but not in enough time to keep from getting caught in there.

Just as Kagome was about to reach for the door she heard her name. “Ms. Higurashi.” Sesshoumaru said silkily as he made his way over to her. “Why are you in my room?”

Kagome turned her head quickly. He obviously just got out of the shower, for he was only wearing a towel. “I…. I …. Got lost.” She stammered while blushing madly.

“I should say so.”

“I have to go.”

“No.”

“What!?” Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru like he grew a second head as he hauled her over to his bed and sat her down.

“I said No, now let’s stop playing games. We are gown-up’s right? Ka-go-me?”

“What are you talking about?” Kagome ask warily as he started to caress her shoulders a little.

“I’m not that little love sick school boy that has been following you around lately but I will indulge you.” With an evil grin on his face, Sesshoumaru started kissing Kagome’s neck. “I want you here in my bed right now and for two good reasons.” He stated still holding on to her as she went rigid. “One, I am very attracted to you and two, I want to treat your wounds by licking you from top to bottom. Your blood sends chills down my spine, and this Sesshoumaru will not say this to just anyone.” Without wasting anymore time he laid a stunned Kagome back on his bed and started to finish some of the minor cuts on her neck.

……. 9 Days later. Naraku’s Office …….

Naraku sat at his desk very impatient today. 4 days ago Sesshoumaru called about his proposed ‘Deal’. He didn’t indicate weather or not he would take it as usual, but it was VERY unusual for him to contact anyone that has made him an offer, first. Why did he call? Finally letting his nerves get the best of him he called his personal assistant. “Jaromaru, where is Kagura? Well send her in here.”

A few moment later, a tall somewhat slender woman with black/brown hair (pinned in a bun), and crimson eyes dressed in a red and white business suit walked through Naraku’s office door. “Hello, dear. How may I be of service?” Her tone was above and beyond acid.

“What took you so long Bitch? I have a meeting at 9am, you have 15 minutes to get the job done properly or I will beat you. Kagura sauntered across the room to Naraku’s desk where he was waiting on her. There she quickly took her place on her knees and started to relieve her master of his ‘stress’.

Kagura was doing such a good job that 9am quickly came and Naraku was still enjoying his time out. Mean while. 8:58 at the entrance to his building a slightly distressed Sesshoumaru and a work ready Kagome walked into the building.
