Phase 14
Unkempt Hair, the Mistress
Thursday 12, April 2001
Under the glow of the full moon,two cars rip down the road, leaving a swirl of dusk behind. You glance from the car ahead to the rear-view mirror, where you can see dark clouds of smokes rising from the forest in the area you just fled.
Beside you, Inuyasha tenses at every bump in the road the car passes over, holding his side tightly. You turn your eyes back to the road, and grip the steering wheel. The image of Inuyasha lying in a bed of glass flashes before your eyes along with the vines shooting up from the pit and twisting around the peach man’s body. The peach man’s pained and inhuman screams once again echo through your ears.
“Yura, you traitorous bitch…”
You blink away the images and silently concentrate on the road while listening to Inuyasha’s heavy breathing.
“…Is it broken?”
Ms. Sango drove to the mansion in another car, and is driving the car ahead with Katsuro. You and Ms. Sango must drive, since Inuyasha or Katsuro are in no position to drive.
“Your arm?” You add after he doesn’t respond after a while.
“…Dislocated, it’ll pop back into place when the sun rises.” He shifts, and curses softly.
“…” You grimace and glance to his limp arm. “It will?”
“It’s happened before.”
“When?”
“Jr. High… I jumped in front of a car.” He chuckles, but you can’t tell whether it’s from finding his past experiences funny or him just being delirious from the pain.
“What happened? Why’d you jump in front of a car?” You ask and take your eyes off the road shortly, but upon looking back notice the car ahead slowing. You immediately press down on the breaks as the car slows and parks at the side of the road. You park a short distance behind and look ahead curiously.
Ahead, after a minute or so, the passenger door opens and Katsuro exits and hobbles around to driver’s side of the car. Approaching the driver door, he waves to you, in what you suppose must be beckoning. You remove your seatbelt, and open your door, but pause when Inuyasha does the same. You look to him and then notice the dark stains on his seat surprised.
“You’re bleeding!”
“I got thrown out of a window, what do you think?” He mutters, exiting and leaning against the car.
You suppress a slight twitch of annoyance, and walk around to the passenger side of the car. “Exactly, don’t you think you should stay still?”
You freeze in your steps when a gunshot once again pierces through the air. You turn as Katsuro falls and tumbles down the side of the road into the brush.
The driver door opens, Ms. Sango exits, looks into the dark side of the road where Katsuro fell and then to the gun in hand. “Oh, well, I don’t need this anymore…”
“You… You’re..” You whisper, staring at the other woman, shocked.
“..you traitorous bitch…”
She looks in your direction, smiling. “Oh, have you figured it out yet?” She raises her gun and points it at you. “I guess I’ll give you a hint before I kill you. My name isn’t Sango.”
A bullet bursts from the gun and flies towards you. Eyes focused only on the woman before you, you’re barely aware of it when Inuyasha shouts your name and you’re shoved out of the path of bullet and into the dark brush below.

Upon awakening, you feel a dull throbbing pain at your right temple. You open your eyes, but it’s too dark to see anything around you without any light. Shifting over the warm lump of rough fabric beneath you, you reach up and touch your temple. You push away the hair stuck to the wet, stickiness on your temple with a wince, and assume you must have hit your head.
To your surprise, the warm lump underneath releases a strangled cough and your cheek twitches when a bit of wetness hits it.
“I hope this is ____...” The lump underneath you mutters.
You gasp and look in the direction of the voice. “Katsuro!”
“Thank god…”
You quickly get up and kneel beside him. He lifts his arm and moves it across his torso, but doesn’t attempt to sit up. You look down at the man worriedly. “You were shot…”
“I’m fine; the bullet only grazed my lung.” He replies calmly with a light cough.
“Oh my…”
He laughs. “I’m ok, I’m kidding, it’s nothing to worry about.”
You nervously glance down to the man’s torso, “Katsuro…”
“Listen, I’m not sure what’s happened, but I haven’t heard the car drive away. I dropped my cell phone on the floor of car. If she ditched us, it should be safe to go look for it. I can’t exactly move right now, so...”
“Right, I’ll go find it.” You turn and look towards the street.

“My, my, I bet you knew from the beginning. Each and every time you prevented me from killing your cute little girlfriend in France.” Yura says as she sashays to the half human, who’s now lifted from the ground and bound by thick, shiny locks of hair.
“My accomplice led your real captain into trap and killed her. If not already dead, your partner is dying. I could kill you right now. Do you have any reason why I shouldn’t?”
When the half human doesn’t respond, she goes on. “I do. Basically, I like you and I think you like me, too.” She murmurs and runs her fingers through the half-human’s thick, black bangs. “You were suspicious, and every time when you could have acted against me, you ran away until now. You knowingly led yourself right into my trap and made my job easier... “
Yura withdraws her hand from his hair, and smiles. “And that’s the kind of company I want, unlike that disgusting peach idiot. So how about it, won’t you join me?”
“It stinks.” The half-human grumbles, keeping his head bowed.
“What was that?” Yura’s smile widens as she leans in closer.
“Your hair reeks worst than the peach bastard.” He lifts his head and sneers at the demon. “It’s making my nose burn just from being this close.”
“What?!” Yura clenches her fists and scowls, but quickly veils her anger with a cold smile. “Oh dear, for a beaten man you still talk so much. I’ll just have to persuade you to come to my side a little more.”
The thick, locks of hair tighten around his neck, and cut into his clothes and skin at her words. She laughs at his renewed pain. “If you ask nicely, I might stop and let you join me again because you know there will always be another head of hair shinier and thicker than yours.”
Yura starts at the abrupt fire of a gun just as a bullet streaks through the gap between her and Inuyasha. The bullet pierces through a few strands of hair that tightly binds Inuyasha in its web. His right arm falls free from the web, but Yura pays no attention to it as she turns to face the person who fired the bullet.
The gun falls to the ground from your limp hands with a loud clack. You stare at your quivering hands in surprise.
“So it was you.” Yura observes as she walks to the side of the road towards you.
You gasp and look up to the deadly woman fearfully. Before you can snatch the gun from the ground, locks of hair immediately coil around it and tug it away. The gun flies through the air and easily lands in Yura’s grip. At the same moment, thick locks of hair curl around your arms, legs, and neck and lift you from the ground.
“Ah, that was your free shot and you missed.” Yura says, stopping before you. “Maybe I underestimated you.”
You try to gasp for air as the hair tightly grips and squeezes your neck and bites into your arms and legs. Yura taps the gun against your chin. “If I knew you were going to try to use this against me, I would have killed you sooner.”
“___...!” Inuyasha grunts as he struggles to free himself from the hair.
The thick locks of hair tighten around your body as tears pool in your eyes and you begin to lose consciousness.
She runs the gun through your hair lightly and hums. “You’re useless to me. This isn’t the type of hair that I like to use at all. Oh well, I guess I’ll stop fooling around now. I do have a plane to catch.” She steps back and points the gun at you, smiling. “Tell the peach idiot I said hello.”
“___!”

And so finally ends you’re-I mean Yura’s spotlight in the story for good. I really did plan to get this chapter posted before April ended, but I became so very busy. Sorry for the wait.
Anyhow, to make up for it, and the lack of InuxYou love thus far, I’m writing a long InuXYou one-shot, which is in the same universe as this story. It should be posted shortly.
