Life of Sin by demon86

quick get away

VROOOOMMMMMM!!!

VROOOOOOMMMM !!!!

It was the sound of two cars taking off after the sound of their screeching tires. That was all that can be heard followed by applause and cheering. Two cars racing down dead mans hill while drifting around the sharp turns and corners of the blasted hill. Both heading downwards into the straight road below where there was more of a group. At the bottom waited Kagome Higuarshi for her brother Souta. Though her outward appereance remained calm and inpassive inside she was just worried and nervous. Never had it taken him so long to reach the bottom. He was driving the twin turbo 350Z after all and it was a pretty fast car. She should know she was picked up from school and dropped off in it. She swore that her brother was just a show off at times for the girls at her school. She was brought out of her musings when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning her head she looked into the chocolate colored hues that belonged to her like time best friend Sango.

"Hey...he's going to be alright. No need to worry " She reassured Kagome with a small smile since she was able to tell that her friend seemed worried about the race. After all Deadman's Hill wasn't named for that over nothing. No on the contrary it's how it got its name. So many racers and drifters would try to race down the hill before something happened. Like they crashed into a tree or fell off of it during a drift. A lot of people did lost a life or two here and there but then again that was the cost of racing cars such as Soutas.

Kagome nodded to Sango as she turned her head to the direction of the cars once she heard a loud screeching sound from the tires. It was Souta !! Kagome let out a sigh of relief as she caught her brother in the lead and smiled as he reached the finished line. Quickly a crowd of people ran to the car and began to cheer louder then before. The other car coming into view parked beside Souta's as he got out of the car to walk over to kagome. Quickly she wrapped her arms around her brothers neck and smiled. Pulling away he kept a arm wrapped around her shoulders as he high fived one of his friends.

"You were great Souta !" Sango had replied as she gave him a quick hug. Behind her was the ever perverted Miroku and long time crush of Sango.

"Indeed you were great."

"Aww..you guys are just sayin' that " He teased a bit before nodding in thanks to them both. Kagome couldn't help but giggle softly as she heard the remark and shrugged her shoulders. Just before another thing was said between the small group the other racer approached them with a serious look. Souta catching the serious expression hardened his own as he looked at the other male.

" Yo...good race man " The other racer replyed while sticking his hand out for Souta to shake. At least he wasn't a sore loser like most of the other racers.

"Thanks you too " Slowly Souta placed his hand into the other guys and gave it a firm shake before breaking it off and watching as he turned away to head back to his car. Suddenly lights that flashed red and blue was seen before the sirens were heard. Every one screamed and paniced before running to random cars and hopping in. Sango and Miroku quickly jumped into Souta's car before Kagome hopped into the passenger seat. Souta already in the drivers seat peeled out before zooming past the cop cars. Most of them quickly turned their steering wheels to turn the cars so that they would avoid hitting the on coming racing car.

Souta glancing back in the rearview mirror took note that a few of the cop cars came chasing behind him . Hitting the gas pedal some more and shifting gears he sped up as he swirved around the corner. Kagome and the others clutching onto anything in the car for dear life. Of course the cop cars began to catch up one of them even had the audacity to actually ram his car into the rear end of Souta's. He clenched his jaw tightly thinking of the damage that would no doubt be done to his car as he kept a firm grip on the stering wheel to keep it from going out of control.

"Ahhh " Both of the girls yelped in shock when they felt the bump in the back.

"Hang on ! " Souta said loudly as he managed to keep the car steady. However, soon another car came up besides his as he glared at the four people inside.

"Pull over ! "

Souta kept on driving.

55

75

95

His speed just seemed to be increasing more and more the harder he tried to outrun them. Suddenly the cop on his left rammed his car from the side. The girls once again yelped in fear as they began to panic. Miroku didn't say much but his body language said it all. He too was starting to grow nervous. Never in a long time had they stayed in a chase this long. They always managed to outrun the cops. Now though this just seemed to force him to doubt. Would they get away ?

"Maybe we should stop. " Kagome suggested in a worried tone. Souta turned to glare at her as if saying silently HELL NO ! She shut her jaw quickly before protesting as the cop yelled out to them again

"PULL OVER NOW !! "

Again the cops began to try and box Souta in but he managed to catch sight of what they were doing and smirked which of course only fueled him to go faster. Another sharp turn and one the cops wouldn't suspect as he quickly lifted the e-brake while barely keeping his foot on the gas. Both hands kept on the steering wheel as he turned it quickly to the right. The tires screeching and the smell of rubber burning was what gave it away . The cops behind didn't have time to react as the pushed the brakes on the cars to stop while a few of the others crashed behind the first one. Metal crashing into metal echoed in the area before Souta pushed the e-brake down, shifted gears and once again sped off into the city of Tokyo. Kagome can hear her heart pounding in her chest and wiped the small amount of sweat that formed on her brow. She let out a breath that was caught in her throat before looking to see how everyone else was.

That was a quick get away but every one was grateful. Once again Souta's driving saved them from a night in jail. Already doing the speed limit in the city they stopped at a red light before turning their heads to watch another set of racing cars go at it.

"You know....." Kagome started but paused mid-sentence as she watched the two cars disappear from their view. Everyone in the car looked over at her and perked eyebrows. " I never want to experience that again " Being the comical moment that it was everyone could only sweat drop.

"Yea and how often do you say that sis ?"

" Mmm...after every race you are in ?"

"Exactly "

Kagome gave her brother a small pout as she huffed softly. Turning to look out the window she relaxed in her seat while watching the scenery pass by. The streets were crowded as always and by the looks of things they seemed to be heading to the garage where there would always be a party. Life was fun with her brother. Course they didn't live with their mom since they wanted to live on their own, but that never stopped them from living together. Life was just easier this way and less problem-matic. Miroku and Sango remained silent most of the car ride. Already turning down a dark allyway the group of four can hear the music blaring from the seal place. Pushing a button from a remote that linked to the garage everyone watched as the door opened before Souta slowly parked the car inside. He left the door open for fresh air as loud rock music can be heard.

Once they exited the car their long time best friend and Kagome's ex boyfriend Han came walking up to them and wrapped his arm around Souta and Kagome's neck.

"Hey guys !" He had said loudly over the music as the others were greeted by people. Miroku of course didn't hesitate to walk up to a few of the random Japanese girls that were there. Only of course to ask them a few seconds later if they would bare him a child. Naturally, he was repaid in kind with a few slaps and a bump on the head by Sango.

"Damn pervert " Sango hissed softly before dragging the unconscious male away to lay on the sofa that was provided. Kagome couldn't help but giggle softly at the sight as Souta simply shook his head. Han on the other hand grinned before resting his head on Kagome's shoulder. He always did have a tiny thing for the small girl but never admitted to it even after they broke up. Kagome turned her head and smiled at Han before she wrapped her arm around his waist and looped a finger in a belt loop. Taking a good look at the older guy she took note of his soft black hair that had pieces fall into his light brown, almond shaped eyes. His smirk that would make any girls heart flutter at the sight with that one dimple on the left side of his cheek along with the chisled body that was underneath his clothes. His skin seemed flawless with the light tan that was there. How this man was not taken Kagome would never know. Then again she seemed sort of happy that he wasn't taken. Part of her wanted to actually date this guy again but then the more sensible half knew it wasn't right. She didn't want to take the risk of ruining their friendship.

"So " she drawled out as if bored out of her mind. " How you been ?"

Han grinned at her question and released his hold on Souta before wrapping his other arm around Kagome's waist. The small intamint reaction caused Kagome to blush lightly but she never once made a move to push him away. "I've been good. Missing you as always but still I manage to live."

"Haha I find that very unlikely " Kagome had stated as she narrowed her eyes. She knew about the girls that he would sometimes bring to his home and wouldn't have them leave until dawn. That had no doubt ticked Kagome off. Well.. The part that still like Han.

" Aww you hurtin' my feelings Kags."

" If only you actually had them Han "

Han chuckled softly at her snippy remark and simply shook his head. Slowly he removed his arms from around kagome before slipping his hand into hers.

"Come on let's go get a drink and dance "

Kagome smiled softly before nodding her head. Her hand giving his a soft squeeze as she followed him to the small bar they set up years ago for a drink. Souta looked at the two and couldn't help but smirk inwardly. He liked Han and trusted him with Kagome's feelings. Still he never really understood why they two of them broke up. They were hell of a couple. Shaking his head still at the sad thought of how they ended he walked away and decided to find a girl to keep him company.

On the other side of town....

Bang bang bang

"Oi you bastard !" yelled an obnoxious teen while waving a clawed fist in front of a door. Currently after banging on it several times the hanyou boy growled in frustration as his stubborn half brother had the audacity to actually melt his radio and destroy his collections of CD's when he wasn't home. All because he blasted the thing so loud it actually gave Sesshomaru a headache. However, the older half brother was in the room smirking while listening to that idiot yell and pound against his door. Still even that noise was grading on his last nerve.

BANG BANG BANG

"SESSHOMARU !!! "

Calmly and gracefully the older inu brother stood up from his bed and walked towards the door. Slowly he opened it to where he stood in front of his ridiculous brother. Looking down at the pitiful sight before him Sesshomaru perked a thin eyebrow.

"What do you need little brother ?" Sesshomaru had asked being sarcastic when he called InuYasha his brother. No the half breed was far from that as far as Sesshoamru was concerned. In all honesty he wanted to know how the hell his father ended up with a human women. Thus the result of that happy marriage stood before him.

" You ! You bastard ! You fucked up my radio and destroyed my CD's ! Do you know how long it took to get those ?! "

" All because you simply would not turn down the volume to the annoying piece of machinery. Besides dear brother those CD's were a waste anyways. Clearly you have no taste in music let alone in anything else."

Sesshomaru smirked at his last remark before walking past at stunned InuYasha who appeared to recover a few seconds to late. Sesshomaru was already gone down the stairs to their home where their father was seen sitting on the couch next to that human woman he despised so much. Maybe it was the fact that Izayoi (sp ?) had so easily replaced his mother ? Most likely. Of course it only fueled his motivation to hate humans more.

"Ahh...Sesshomaru ! Come come have a seat my boy "

Inwardly Sesshomaru cringed at his fathers happy nature. How can a demon be so happy ? There had to be something he had done to make him MORE cheerful then he usually was. Course his father was VERY wealthy and being the son of the wealthiest man in Japan had it's advantages. Just like the time when his father had to actually bail him out of jail for speeding while being drunk. He paid the police a large sum of money to make sure there was no record of Sesshomaru's in existence of that night and to do some side work for the Tashio family. The positive things about keeping the Tokyo police in check. They fucked up once and that was it. No more funding. Suddenly Sesshomaru was ripped out of his muse when he felt his father place a hand on his shoulder.

" Sesshomaru "

"Yes father "

" There are two things I wish to discuss with you."

At this Sesshomaru perked a eyebrow but remained quiet all the same as he heard the seriousness of his fathers tone. Taking the silence as a sign to continue . His father sighed softly before leaning back against the sofa. His arms crossed over his chest as his brows furrowed in deep thought.

" I need you to go down to the east side of Tokyo and find out who has been stealing from our busines"

"Why don't you go talk to the police about this father instead of sending me on this trivial errand ? Or better yet send that worthless half brother of mine" Sesshoamaru replied with a small hiss. InuYasha who already came down the stairs as he heard what Sesshomaru said growled.

" Oi ! I heard that ! "

"Enough !! " Both the brothers quickly quieted down but continued to glare at each other. Touga stood from his seated position and growled at the both of them.

"You will do as I ask Sesshomaru no questions asked. " Sesshomaru just gave a simple nod of his head but remained seated.

"Another thing. The Yamada's wish to join families." Touga stated as he waited for Sesshomaru to say something. Yura was no doubt a gorgeous girl and would be a fine mate for Sesshomaru. He had to take things into his own hands since Sesshomaru did refuse to take on a mate. Sure his son had a hungry appetite for women that was true but he never really brought a girl home and since the Yamada's were the next most powerful family in the city Touga assumed that it was a fine choice. It would bring peace to the families and both the lords would have less problems.

Hearing what his father had said Sesshomaru tensed his muscles. How can that old man be so blind ? Sure Yura was eye candy but truth of the matter was she been around the block and back again. There was no way that Sesshomaru would mate that vile woman.

":No "

"No ?"

"No I will not mate with that girl. She is not worthy enough to be a Taishio" He stated with much venom in his voice.

" What do you propose then ? You know as well as I do you will not actually date women if only for a one night stand ? I'm sorry my son but until you are able to find a suitable female Yura will be your arranged mate."

Before Sesshomaru could say another word in protest a knock came at the door. Touga walked over to the door and opened it only to reveal Yura and her father.

"Ahh Touga "

" Welcome Jiro. Come in come in. My sons are in the living room."

"And the lovely Izayoi ?"

"She is out of town for a bit. "

"Such a shame I was hoping to say hello to your lovely wife"

"Where is Yura ? I'm sure she is excited about meeting Sesshomaru "

At the mention of her name a girl that stood about 5'4 came into view. Her short black hair was held back by a red headband as she wore a short mini-skirt. Black boots that stopped mid-calf and a red blouse that dipped into a low ' V'. Her small waist was revealed above her naval as her lips were painted red. Her eyes seemed to catch Sesshomaru's in a instant before she shifted them to the Inu Lord and bowed.

"Greetings Lord Touga " She replied in a soft tone but it made Sesshomaru shiver inwardly. Her scent wasn't really all that bad. A light mint chocolate scent was what he made out. Nothing nice but nothing bad either. Slowly Touga ushered his guests into the house and had them seated in the living room with InuYasha and Sesshomaru. InuYasha seemed to be lost in his own world but then again that wasn't really new. Yura sat across from Touga and his sons but Yura kept her eyes on Sesshomaru. Finally something in her life was heading in the right way. Not that it was bad. She always did manage to get what she want even if it meant selling herself . Then again what was a little bit of business mixed with pleasure ?

He could literally feel the hungry eyes from that blasted woman on his person. He gave her a small glare before excusing himself from the group and heading up stairs. InuYasha quickly in tow behind him leaving behind three confused people.

'He appears to be playing hard to get. Nothing I'm not new to but he will be MINE ' a small grin appeared on Yura's lips before she brought her attention back to the adults. Might as well start thinking up of a plan. Her life was set as far as she knew it.

" Yo Sesshomaru what's up ? Where ya' heading off to ? "

" None of your business half breed."

" Oi ! You don't gotta be like that ! I was just asking stupid bastard " Inu Yasha huffed softly before sitting on Sesshomaru's bed and watched as he packed up a small duffle bag of clothes

" Well if you MUST know InuYasha father has assigned me to investigate what is being stolen from our company in the east side of Tokyo. "

"What !!! " InuYasha nearly fell off the bed. "That part of the city always has the amazing races ! Not to mention the sweetest of girls . Wait...what's being stolen ? How come he didn't ask me to come ?"

"I do not know InuYasha but perhaps the fact that he knew a simple half demon such as yourself could not handle such a job. Let alone keep that mouth of yours shut ."

Before InuYahsa can protest to his remarks Sesshomaru grabbed his bag and walked out of the room. In haste InuYasha followed his older half brother to the back door where the car he was going to use was in the back. A black BMW with beige leather interior was located in the garage.

"Don't you think that you'll stick out on that side of town . " It was more of a statement then a question as Sesshomaru simply ignored him got into the vehicle. Starting the car he revved the engine before pulling away form the expensive home. InuYasha watched his brother drive off before turning around to run into the house and pack. He wasn't letting his brother get all the action especially in that part of the town.

(a/n oh I know I know . How long has it really been since I've updated a story ? Months ? Almost a year ? Well before I was able to actually update those I decided to take down a few of the chapters to each story and re-write them. They of course do need a lot of work since I do NOT like how they are at this point. So yes as of now this story is going to be another of my creations since it's been on my brain a lot. Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter.)
