Love Found in the Alley

Kagome walked through the alley. "I can't believe I let them talk me into this," she thought as she walked through the back alley. A bet she placed with three of her less brilliant friends (Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri) had earned her a walk through the back alley. She sighed as she thought about what got her into this.

She went out on a date with Hojo. Her friends bet with her that she and Hojo would kiss. Kagome thought that she could restrain herself but… OK so candlelight does affect women. She was caught up in the moment and she kissed him.

"Huh, what was that?" she thought as she heard a noise coming from behind a dumpster. It sounded like a person in pain, so she moved a bit forward (A/N: Yeah I know, it's pretty stupid.) Behind the dumpster she saw a boy around her age (16 years old) lying in a puddle of blood. His clothes were torn and his face was covered in cuts. He had long, black hair that was stuck together by the blood coming from his head. She moved towards him and said, "Hello?"

He moved a bit and opened his blue eyes. "Who are you?" he asked.

"That's not important. First, I got to get you some help," Kagome said as she took out her cell phone and dialed for the police.

"NO!" he yelled as he tried to get up, which only made his injuries worse.

"Why?" Kagome asked.

"Because…" he said hesitantly. Then he decided not to tell his reason and, putting on an arrogant look, said "Keh, wouldn't you like to know."

"WELL, EXCUSE ME! I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP."

"No need," he responded coolly.

Kagome was about to leave but looked at him and signed. "Look, why don't we at least get you bandaged."

The teenager was about to say no when his bones suddenly felt like they were falling apart. So he nodded.

"Can you walk?" Kagome asked.

"What does it look like!" he wanted to say. But instead he just shook his head.

"Well…here, grab my hand," she said, hesitating a little as she offered her hand to him. He was still a stranger after all.

Inuyasha (A/N: YES, THAT INJURED BOY IS INUYASHA!) took her hand and slowly rose. Kagome put his hand on her shoulder. As they walked out the alley, Kagome's three friends looked at the man she was carrying.

"Kagome, who is he?" one of her friends asked.

"I don't know but he's hurt. Come on, help me carry him!" Kagome yelled. He was really heavy (for her anyways).

So Kagome carried the stranger to her house as fast as she could and opened the door. Her mom was in the kitchen and called to her. "You're back already?".

"Mom, I need your help!" Kagome called out.

"Com--oh my!" Kagome's mom said after seeing Inuyasha. "What's going on?"

"Long story. Come on mom, help me carry him into the living room," she said to her mother while pointing at the living room.

After getting him into the living room, Kagome looked at the person she just brought back. He had long, black hair and through his shirt (or what was left of it) she could see well-toned abdominal muscles. She hadn't noticed it before partly because the light was dark, partly because of the fact that he was really, really heavy, but he was kind of cute. She blushed at the thought and brushed it away, meanwhile her mom decided this was a good time too pop in and ask questions.

Kagome and her mom treated his wounds to the best of their ability.

"Well Kagome, you have some explaining to do," said Kagome's mother.

"Well, I went into an alley and saw him. I tried to call the police, but he stopped me. I thought he needed help, so my friends and I brought him back." Kagome said.

"Oh," her mother said with some disappointment in her voice. "I thought this is your boyfriend."

"Mom!" Kagome yelled in embarrassment.

"What?" said a weak voice. Inuyasha has woken up.

"You're awake," Kagome said with a smile as she brushed a strand of hair away from her eye.

"Where I'm I? Did I die?" he asked with a little urgency in his voice.

"Are you insulting me?" Kagome said with some anger in her voice. The comment earned him a slap in the face.

While this was going on, Kagome's mother watched with amusement. "They make a good couple," she thought to herself.

After a few minutes of arguing, Inuyasha was worn out, so Kagome was the unofficial winner.

"Oh, I should get you some dinner," Kagome's mom said.

"OK," said Inuyasha.

Kagome went with her mom to help with dinner and Inuyasha rested. He was kind of embarrassed to be rescued by a girl but he really needed to get out of the alley before his brother sent people to finish him off… But he put the girl's family in danger.

When Kagome came back she was surprised that what lay before her eyes was an empty couch and an open window. Somehow this also made her disappointed… No she definitely didn't have feeling for a boy she just met (or picked up) at an abandoned alley.

She sighed and walked over to the window, "some people should learn how to use doors" she thought as she closed the window.

Kagome's mother entered the room at this moment and was surprised to see her daughter sitting on the couch looking at the window.

"Where'd that nice boy go, and just when I thought you were going to get yourself a decent boyfriend." She sighed "I don't like hobo."

"It's Hojo, mom." Kagome said with a little smile at her mom's comment.

If I get 5 comments I'll continue, and the chapters will get longer.
