Chapter 18: False Leads
"Mmphh"
"Again."
"Ufff."
"Again."
"Ahh…"
"Again."
Sesshomaru's head jerked back again and again from the heavy blows pounding against his face. Hit after agonizing hit produced a series of purple bruises, gashes on his lips and eyebrows, and the side of his face swelled from its previous attack. Through it all, not once did he scream or holler in a horrid pain like Naraku desired. Sesshomaru wouldn't benefit the bastard with such a disgraceful sound. It would've been the perfect notes to his music box.
"That's enough." Naraku ordered after the thirtieth punch to the jaw.
Hakudoshi looked from his employer and the officer strapped to the chair before giving one final fist to the nose and stepping back.
Naraku took his place where the pale demon stood next to Sesshomaru's chair and bowed down until he stood at eye level. "Excuse my friend, Sesshomaru. He tends to get out of hand sometimes when in the presence of legends."
Sesshomaru didn't respond, nor react to the hand that clasped over his jaw thumbing across his split lower lip.
"Such a pity we couldn't converse on better terms. I would've loved to caress these sweet lips of yours."
No response. He didn't deserve one.
"Nothing to say my dear? Come now," He inched closer until he was a breath's tease away from the dog demon's lips. "Surely you have something you want to talk about…"
Naraku pressed his lips the bleeding cracked mouth in his hand. The second his lips touched the other's, Sesshomaru snapped his jaws down narrowly missing taking the spider demon's entire mouth off. Naraku chuckled, stepping back as he inspected his bottom lip with his thumb. Surprisingly the only evidence of damage was the tiny slit from the dog's sharp fang. "Ah you're still feisty. I like that."
Sesshomaru spit the tainted flavor of malice from his mouth gracing the evil spider with a heated glare.
"So you don't like my taste? I'm hurt." Naraku sighed dramatically, turning on his heel toward the only door of the darkened room. "Hakudoshi?" He called over his shoulder.
"Yes sir?"
"He's hurt my feelings. Make sure he learns manners by the time I return."
Hakudoshi smiled a sadistic smile as he cracked his knuckles. "With pleasure."
Naraku closed the door on the two men, leaving Sesshomaru alone to face another round of pain from the vicious Hakudoshi. As the younger spider approached him, he closed his eyes, prepared for the soon-to-be fourth round of punishment as his mind settled on the face of his loved one motivating him to stay strong.
It wouldn't be the first time he had to endure this pain, but he'll stay strong.

The Chief of Demon Intelligence Agency wiped a shaky hand over his face after listening to the chilling news given just a few moments ago by his youngest pup.
"Are you absolutely positive you heard the voice say Naraku?" He asked for the tenth time.
Inuyasha nodded grimly from his seat in front of his father's desk.
With the same nod deliver as nervously as the previous nine times, Taisho sunk back in his chair closing his eyes and blowing out a heavy exhale. "Naraku has my son…My son." He whispered more to himself then to the other person in the room. Not only was this information to devastating to grasp, it was extremely terrifying for the elder demon to think about.
He was the only one, besides Sesshomaru, who knew what that bastard spider demon was capable of. He'd come close to death by that man's hands a handful of times in the past and the tortures he'd been through while held captive were too horrible to speak upon. Only God knows what torments and anguish he was putting his first born through as they speak.
Each ticking second that pass was another drop of blood lost.
"Father we have to think of a plan." Inuyasha finally said.
Taisho sighed, agreeing to what he already knew. "A plan is what we need. However it's something we don't have right now."
"Then let's make one."
Taisho thought a moment trying since hearing the details of the phone call, to create a way for them to come up with the perfect strategy to save his child. There were plenty of ways to approach this but which route to take was the problem. For starters, they had no idea where to begin their search. Secondly if they did find Naraku's hide out, how exactly would they manage to get Sesshomaru out without risking losing his officers? Then there was the case of wondering what plans the dastardly evil criminal had in store for the city.
Just then a knock came on the door and in peeked one of his detectives. "Chief I managed to get some info out of gang member, Byakuya." He walked in followed by Koga who kept his eyes from meeting the hanyou's. "The bastard finally admitted that the person behind all of these troubles is Naraku."
Inuyasha threw his hands in the air. "Well it's a little late for that Miroku."
"What do you mean?"
Inuyasha dropped his head in his hands tired of having re-explain the same terrible news to everyone.
So Taisho decided to do the explaining, telling them both what Inuyasha found in the apartment, Kagome's play in the situation, the kidnapping all the way down to the last detail of the phone call from Naraku himself.
Koga's one good fist balled angrily. "So the asshole thinks he can just kidnap one of our own and we not do anything about it? Fuck that, we gotta do something chief."
"I know, I know."
"Then let's do something instead of sitting here doing nothing." Inuyasha said impatiently.
Miroku braced his back against the wall folding his arms. "You two don't know what we're dealing with here. This is Naraku. The same criminal mastermind who's outsmarted two of the most well-known officers in the department." Referring to both his leaders, Taisho and Sesshomaru. "You two are too young to know what that man is capable of."
"How the hell would you know?"
Starwind smirked, closing his eyes. "While Koga was just going through the academy and you a mere child, I was a rookie the first I encountered him."
"You never told me that." Said Koga.
"I had no reason to recall that embarrassing time when I was as reckless and foolish as you two are acting."
"It's not embarrassing to be tormented Starwind." Taisho said quietly.
This time Koga and Inuyasha looked at the calm faced human standing by the wall. "You were captured?"
Nodding his head with the slowest gesture, Miroku fingers reached down to his long sleeve shirt, undocking it from his jeans. "It was during one of my very first assignments partnered with a detective named Risho who was my FTO at the time." He began unbuttoning his shirt. "It was supposed to be a raid on a warehouse where a tip off told us where Naraku had been hiding. Risho and I were supposed to be the first wave to ambush the place. The Chief and Sesshomaru were keeping watch near the front gate."
More buttons followed. "Me, being the reckless rookie I was, didn't want to follow orders and bombarded head first into the warehouse expecting to find the man standing there with his hands in the air saying he surrendered. Boy was I wrong." The shirt was tossed to the side. "He was in there alright but the Tip Off we had ended up being a double dipper, working for us and Naraku. He warned the spider demon of the raid and he'd worked two steps ahead us. Risho was killed on the spot and I was captured by his men. Sesshomaru and Chief tried for three full days to search for me but couldn't find me anywhere."
The white undershirt plastered to his trimmed body was slowly lifted up as he continued with his haunted tale. "In my entire life I'd only seen death once. That was the most terrible treatment to ever go through and to this day I still feel the steel and fire licking at my skin." The shirt finally stopped around his neck.
Inuyasha gasped, Koga turned his head away and Taisho bowed his crown at the permanent scars marring over the young man's skin from the 72 hours of suffering he endured while in Naraku's hands. Faint pink gashes stretched and narrowed up and down his chest, accompanied with jagged, blister wounds that will never heal properly, pinched and weaved over his sides. The final faded injuries were three indented holes in the shape of a three point triangle along his rib cage.
"I've been stabbed seven times. He burned my chest with demonic acid twice until I my screams could echo in the city. I was raped by his men for two of those days and on the last day he shot me in my side three times with slow killers."
"How did you escape?"
Miroku opened his eyes remembering how he managed to become free of the monster. "Sesshomaru found out where he was and made a bargain to spare my life in exchange for two things. One being that Naraku would be allowed to escape without any problems and two, being that he would allow his body to use with as Naraku wished."
"Oh man…" Inuyasha racked his claws through his hair thinking about the next question he wanted to ask but was too afraid to ask.
Reading the flashed opinion needing a response, Miroku walked over to the young rookie and placed a hand on his shoulder. "He went through two days of what I went through as part of the bargain. The same exact pain. But not once did he make a sound. He stayed strong through it all. I own that man my life Inuyasha. He's one of the bravest ones I know. You should be proud of him."
Inuyasha shuddered thinking about the torment those two had been through with that criminal. Miroku says he stayed strong through it all. That was somewhat comforting to hear but why did he have to be forced into the same type of agony as before? Would the Gods ever grant him happiness without the pain to follow?
Lending forward he cupped his hands together and brought them to his lips in prayer, begging for his brother's life to be spared so that they could have a chance at starting a new life together.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
Oh damn. When Miroku felt the body freeze under his touch, he looked down to see the source vibrating on the hanyou's hip. "That's probably him." He said grimly.
Koga's mind when into overdrive as he thought what they could do for their squad leader. Then an idea came to mind. "Chief, do you a tracer in your desk?"
Taisho blinked. "Yes but it hasn't be used in a while." He explained reaching into his desk for the item mentioned.
"That's fine. As long as it's a connector it'll work." He grabbed the tracer and began pulling wires left and right from all aspects of the chief's office.
"Koga what the hell are you doing to my office?"
Koga proceed to pulling out wires and other objects, connecting them in various ways to the old style tracer. The only one finally catching on to the project snapped his fingers and slapped the clever wolf on his back. "Brilliant Koga," Miroku praised, turning to a still confused Inuyasha. "Listen Toshiba you're going to have to play this by ear alright?"
"Sure."
"As soon as Koga connects the tracer to the cell answer it and talk to Naraku for at least two minutes. The longer you talk—"
"The more precise we'll be on his location." Koga finished snapping in the last wire. "There. It's pretty ancient but it'll do for now since we don't have any up to date ones here. But try to keep it as clear as possible. Don't cough, don't grunt or do any form of disturbing noise that might interfere with the frequency."
"Righttttttt. Damn thanks Koga." Inuyasha was pissed at the wolf, but for now he was proving to be as valuable as his father and brother said. "OK so do I answer it now?"
"Yes—No no no wait. Let me get the recorder. Any foreign sounds in the background could link us to the appropriate place as well."
Koga dashed out of the office for his desk and searched around for the frequency recorder he used to use as a rookie. The hand held device was easily found in the top drawer and he hurried back in to do the expert wiring with his one working hand.
"Come on Wolfe. By the time you get this done he'll hang up!" The human rushed.
"Hey don't rush me asshole. I don't see you doing this shit with one hand!"
Inuyasha was sitting on pins and needles as the Koga attached the cords into his jack system and gave the nod of approval to answer the phone. Relaxing his composure, Inuyasha nodded back and answer the phone on its fifth ring.
"Hello?"
"About time you answered Puppy. I was beginning to think you didn't like me."
"I don't like you asshole."
Miroku and Taisho made a slashing gesture with their hands in the background as Koga flashed up two fingers meaning he needed to cool it with the insults and keep him going.
"Aww you've hurt my feelings just like Sesshomaru did." Naraku tsked his lips arrogantly. "He had to get a spanking for being a mad dog."
Inuyasha resisted the urge to growl, remembering that he needed to keep any of their own noises out of range. "What do you want Naraku?
"My my my straight to the point are we?"
"No I just don't feel like talking to you."
Miroku slapped a hand over his face, Koga shook his head and Taisho threatened him with the glare of his eyes to keep his damn cool. Inuyasha couldn't help it. This bastard made his skin crawl and just knowing that he was hurting his brother was pissing him off.
"I love that fiery spirit of yours." Inuyasha shivered when he heard the creep purr through the phone. "Hmm so much spunk for a young hanyou. Perhaps I should've had my fun with you instead of your brother."
"Right so either tell me what you want or I'm hanging up the phone."
"Oh yes I really like that spark. I'll definitely need to add you to my collection."
"Keh, in your dreams asshole."
Naraku sighed. "Oh well I tried. Enough of the flirting. Here's what I want. In exactly 44 hours I will be planning the city's Rain of Fire. Thanks to the little insurance sitting behind me, I was able to move my date up to an earlier one."
"Rain of Fire?" What the hell did that mean?
"Yes, you see I know you've heard of my rival Ryuukotsesui?"
"Ryuukotsesui?" Inuyasha mouthed 'who was that?' to his father. Taisho immediately began to search his desk for the stored paperwork he had on the other gang ring leader. Finding it after literally destroying his desk, he slammed the papers to the hanyou's chest for his eyes to read over.
Inuyasha scanned the basic information and stared at the dragon lord's picture. "This guy's been in the game as long as you. What do you want with him?"
"Excellent question my dear." Inuyasha ignored the endearment letting the man talk on. "You see I can't take over the city as I wish because that wretched beast keeps managing to take over the same deal of territory as I do. When I make a move, his is just as drastic. So I need to have him removed from the competition…permanently."
"So what does the Rain of Fire mean for the city?" They still needed a little more time to keep him on the phone.
"Another great question. The Rain of Fire represents the hellish gunfire I'm sure the entire city will witness from the warehouse district of the harbor. That will be where I'll have my meeting with the dragon. Of course he doesn't know that it's an ambush."
Damn that's low. So he's planning to take out the dragon without back up?
"Why tell me this?" Said Inuyasha, feeling suspicious.
Naraku chuckled. "You asked and I answered. Now Puppy, this is where your part comes in. During those 44 hours I want you to keep your law enforcement buddies off my trail for as long as I need. If you manage to keep them back for those 44 hours, I will gladly return your brother's body to do with as you please."
This time the hanyou couldn't hold back his angry snarl. "Listen you fucking asshole if you do ANYTHING to him I swear to everything that's holy I'll fucking hunt you down and use your body as a shitter! You got that?"
Silence filled the receiver for a moment. Inuyasha thought the man had hung up until a sudden sound rung in his ear. It was odd but it sounded like it came from the background. But he decided it wasn't anything important.
"Ohhh my sweet little puppy. I cannot wait until we meet in person. I'll make sure that mouth of yours is put to good use." Naraku licked his lips loud enough for the slurping swish to ripple through the phone.
Inuyasha bit down on his bottom lip, using ALL of his self-control to keep from screaming his frustration at the jerk.
"Well I've said all I could for now little puppy. You know what the instructions are. Make sure to follow them to a tee. Oh there's one more thing. Sesshomaru wants to say hello."
What? Sesshomaru? Inuyasha's heart stopped as he heard some movement in the background and then some heavy breathing. Some very exhausted intakes of air gusted against the phone over and over. Taking a big gulp, Inuyasha pressed his ear harder to the phone to listen to the weighty breaths floating on the line. "S-Sesshomaru…?" He whispered afraid to believe it was really him.
The breathing seemed to cease for a moment as a weak, but firm, "Inuyasha" voiced and the line died.
Blinking at the sudden silence Inuyasha shook his head disbelievingly as he shouted. "Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru? Fuck Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha clenched the phone in his hands to near its breaking point and tossed it on his father's desk, falling into a chair.
Koga turned off the equipment. "I'll take this to the lab for inspection."
"How long will it take to translate?"
"The noises will take longer, probably three hours, but the signal from Sesshomaru's cell will be traced within ten minutes since this thing is pretty old."
Taisho stood up from his desk reaching for his phone. "You say it'll take ten minutes to find the place? You have five. Call in the Squad teams and TACT force units. I want the entire Bomb Squad down at that location within fifteen minutes."
Miroku was stunned from the orders ranted off by his employer. "Chief that's going to take precision, planning and considered regulations—"
"I'm the damn Chief of this entire region Starwind! That bastard has my son and I want him back here within the next two hours. You have exactly twenty minutes to get the preparations underway for the men to get this done."
"We can't get that many officers involved Old Man."
"We will get as many of these men as we need to get Sesshomaru out of harm's way. He's no different from any of the men here. If they were in the same predicament I'd put in just as much action."
Inuyasha wasn't so sure this was what his brother needed for his rescue. Something still seemed off. Naraku gave them more than enough information to frame his ass over and over again. So why give it up so easily? Something seemed fishy. And to make things more suspicious, it almost sounded as if Naraku wanted them to find out where he was hiding. His voice was crisp and clear without missing a beat in his confident tone. What could he be planning?
"Inuyasha I need you to stay here with Koga. I'll be going out to assist with the rescue mission." Taisho said interrupting his pondering worries.
"What? No way. I'm coming too."
"No it's too risky. I need you here just in case the first wave of us don't make it through the line of defense."
"Father—"
"Do as you're told detective. That's an order!"
The deep authority of his father's voice made the hanyou flinch but obey none the less. "Yes Chief."
With that little bit of commanded promised sealed, Taisho gathered his gun and bullet proof vest from inside his storage closet, wrapping and Velcro all the straps in place. A spare gun was pulled and placed on his hip next to his assigned weapon. Two daggers were hidden within his boots and another handgun was tucked inside of his back pocket.
As he finished up with his adjusting Taisho turned over to see his youngest son looking out of his window with his less-than-normal slumped shoulders trembling. Even if he hid them from view, Taisho could smell the fresh batch of tears running down his face. "Inuyasha?" He called softly.
"I'm fine." Came the curt reply. "Just fucking go if you're going too."
InuTaisho sighed tucking in his gun in its holster and walked over to where the hanyou stood with his arms hugging his torso. "Inuyasha?" He started as his arms wrapped around his shoulders. Inuyasha felt a light bump to the back of his head and a warm sensation as his father spoke. "My one and only little hanyou son. Please don't treat this as being the end. We will be together again. I promise I won't leave you alone."
"Yes you will." He chocked dropping his head. "Just like Mama, and Hiei. You'll leave me too. I'm tired of losing people. I'm so fucking tired of being left alone."
"You won't be left alone my son. I will return with your brother and we'll be together as a family."
The head of white hair nodded against his mouth. "Please…please make sure to come back."
"We will be back my son. I promise." Taisho nuzzled his face in the plush patch of hair, placing a kiss on top.
Inuyasha shrugged himself out of the embrace and walked around his father not bothering to give him a hug good bye. There would be no point. He promised he'd come back right? He promised to bring himself and Sesshomaru back so they could be a family. So that he and Sesshomaru could be together.
His father was a man of his word. So all he could do now was put his faint in him and believe he'll see them very soon.

5601 Coconut Grave Drive, Western Region
This was the address where the signal was located and based on the communicator in Miroku's hand those assholes were still inside the building. He gave the silent nod from the van he and the Chief were sitting in and the twenty or so TACT officers shot out of their van aiming straight for the dark building up ahead.
Ten of them hugged their backs against the broken brick walls and the last few ducked behind some of the shrubbery, hidden from view.
"What are these guys? Ninjas?" Miroku snickered typing in the webcam for the head leader to go on ahead with the quiet ambush.
"After this is over I intend to fire every single one of you." Taisho commented folding his arms.
"We love you too Chief."
Once they all arrived at the location, every single one of the squad members ambushed the Chief and forced him back into the van saying that they needed him to stay alive to lend the department on. He tried to argue his point of wanting to be there when they rescued his son, but none them would hear of it. Three of the men even risked their careers when they rushed the older demon and tossed him in the back of the van with Miroku like a sack of rejected potatoes.
"Have they made entry yet?"
Miroku tried keeping his eyes from rolling, lest he wanted to get in even more trouble. "No Chief they're passing point B."
He knew he was being impossible to deal with, but the thought of knowing Sesshomaru was in there only made his heart soar with anxiety. He wanted so much to have his son back safely within arm's reach. Hopefully his blood pressure would've gone down back to its normal level.
"Razor to Blade Do you copy? Over."
Miroku pressed the answer key and spoke in code. "This is Blade to Razor what's the situation?"
"Blade we've just made entry inside the signal's dead point."
"Excellent. Now talk to me what's going on?"
Taisho lend forward, wanting to get an earful of the lastest updates.
"We're….we're in the spare room where the signal's coming off but…but there's nothing here."
"WHAT?" Taisho snatched the speaker away. "There has to be something in there. The signal is strongest in this building."
"I know sir, but the signal's dead point is right where we are but there's nothing in here."
Miroku took the mike back from a disappointed Taisho and said, "Don't worry about it. Just get back here Blaze. We'll regroup and think of another strategy."
"Yes sir. Over and out."
The two men sighed once again very upset that this had possibly been a bogus relay made by that crafty ass Naraku. Hell they wouldn't put it pass the man to such a nasty trick. And here they thought they were so close to saving one of their own from this beast.
Suddenly a bright light flickered from one of the TV monitors inside the van flashing up a picture of one of the TACT officers. "Starwind, Chief, this is Thunder, you guys there?"
Miroku dully pressed answer. "Yea Thunder we're here. What's wrong?"
"Well we found something sir."
This spiked the Chief's curiosity. "What did you find?"
The one called thunder walked over toward the center of the room dressed from head to toe in his full enforcement armor, goggles, and M16 weapon in tow toward the small blue light. "I'm not quite sure sir. But it looks like a cell phone."
How odd. What would a cell be doing left in the center of the room?
Thunder cautiously walked over toward the little device until he stood over it aiming his weapon at it for security reasons. After a ten second delay he lowered his muzzle and bent to one knee to pick up the machine. Upon inspection he realized that the phone belong to someone he knew all too well. "Sir the phone…It's—It's Sesshomaru's."
"What the hell?" Taisho was becoming increasingly worried with each passing minute. His heart was beating a thousand miles per hour. For some reason his instincts were going hi-wire. Something wasn't right. He needed to get those men out of there. "Thunder report back to me immediately. Get those men out of there now!"
Now Miroku was nervous. "Why Chief what's wrong?"
"Something's not right. I don't like the vibe I'm getting from all this."
Both of them turned back to the screen to see all of the men gathering their belongings, preparing for departure. Just when the first was about to step out the door, the cell phone flashed blue once more signaling a message trying to come through.
Now thinking much of it, Thunder slid the answer key to the side. "Hey guys there's someone sending Sesshomaru a text message." He waited for the message to load and read it out loud once it appeared on screen.
"I told you officers not to get involved. Too bad there's no such thing as second chances."
Thunder looked up at one of his men and shrugged. "Hey Chief you get that?"
Taisho and Miroku didn't reply because their gold and blue eyes stayed trained to the suddenly glowing device in Thunder's hand. Their hearts stopped and a tight air caught in the middle of their windpipes as Thunder looked down at the glimmering cell phone then up to his side man.
Both shared a haunted expression of fear, confusion, a last prayer and a whisper before the glow brightened and flashed.
Then the TV monitor went blank….
