New story. Cool stuff, right? I know. The last ones going kinda slow...because I have no idea what to do next. Sooooo...I DONT OWN INUYASHA. He's sweet and all, but he's not my type. Word.

A/N-Pairings will unvail themselves as I write. The story is in 3rd person ominicent(sp,w/e, sue me). I havent yet discovered what the plot line is, but its not going to suck.

Let the show go on

Kagome raced through the woods as fast as possible, feeling her skirt and blouse tear at the mercy of thorns and branches. Her bare feet feverishly smacked rocks as she bolted, shooting white hot, searing pain up and down her legs. There was no part of her body that wasnt covered in dirt. She was a mess. Helpless. Alone.

Water began to trickle down her face. For a moment, she wasnt quite sure weather it was rain or her tears. Regardless, she kept running, feeling scared to the point that sweet endless slumber sounded peachy. As if he heard this, Sesshomaru laughed maliciously in the backround. His taunting laughter pursuaded Kagome to push on even faster.

How did she get here? Now that was a question. In a world divided by humans and demons, those with the most power prevailed above those who were weeker. Kagome was very strong for her age and backround, her being a human from a very noble family, but even with that, it wasnt difficult to succumb to the needs of demonic persons who ruled over anything worth ruling over. She was a slave, classified as dirty and usable. She was basically nothing, and now as she ran through the woods with blood trickling down her body, with the rain pounding on her forehead, with the sounds of laughter ringing in her ears, she knew...she was dirt.

"I can smell your blood you dumb wench!" He mused in a 'your not even worth being chased down and killed' sort of way. The harshness in his voice forced Kagome to flinch, but didnt faulter her steady pace. There was no way she was going back with that evil man, she would rather be slautered. "I can smell the fear in your sweat!" He added, which made Kagome let out a strangled gasp. The ball of her heal began to throb with every hurried step she took, but her determination was incessant.

"You dirty bastard!" She called out into the wilderness, still running ever so quickly, "I know you can catch me! Why are you holding back you fucking bastard?!" She was upset and confused and hopeless and all those words you could call someone who was staring death straight in the eye. She knew he could outrun her with a 40 pound bag of sand tied to each foot. Why was he playing with her?

"I like a chase..." He laughed maniacly like a madman, "...but I'll be happy to end it here!" He screamed and she could feel his presence above her as he pounced for his prey. She screached. This was over.

Suddenly, as fate intended, she ran into something warm and soft. Immediatly without thinking, she burried her face into it and wrapped her arms around it. It...him. She looked up, her eyes clouded thick with tears and rain only to see two amber orbs staring down at her in a bitter-sweet melonchally. Black locks twisted around his shoulders past his shirtless back almost reaching the red garb on his lower body. He was human, she knew that for sure. He gave off no evil aura (Picking out aura's was something she was born with) and his appearances were hardly demonic. He growled, forcing Kagome to her knees staring up into his eyes. Help me, she mouthed.

The man looked up.

"Sesshomaru, what in hell are you doing out here?" He asked tiredly rubbing his temple. He had been in no mood to see his brother at all, not after the last time.

"The question is, Inuyasha, what are you doing out here looking like...that?" He spat out disgustedly. The look in Sess's eyes made Inuyasha silently fume. He hated the name calling. Inuyasha growled again. "Fine, lets make this even. Hand me the girl without pulling some phycho-babble bullshit, and I'll let you live past tonight, got it?" Sesshomaru reasoned.

Inuyasha felt some dismay at handing over this poor wench. It was evident to him that the girl was a priestess and good looking none the less. She gazed into his eyes with a silent stare that begged for freedom. Unfortunatly, on a night like tonight, he had no intention of fighting his brother, not in this state.

"Take her..." He relpied cooly. Kagome grasped idley at the fabric of his robe. "What do I need with her anyways?" He asked trying to play it off like he had no weekness.

"Right, and if anyone were to ask you what you were doing tonight?" He questioned, testing his only brother.

"I went to the river to wash off then I went home. I never saw a young slave girl being chased down by the lord of foolishness and heartlessness, now can I go?" He asked sarcastically. Sess nodded.

"No..." Kagome spoke up, finally aware that she was going back to the place she never wanted to see again in her life, "I wont go, YOU CANT MAKE ME!!" She screamed, feeling her masters sharp talons biting into her flesh. "Please, help me!" She begged trying to wiggle through his grasp. She could start to feel the blackness of shadows protruding over her eyes. She had lost too much blood, she had ran too far, and she had not a single ounce of hope left.

Kagome looked back at the man who refused to save her life, who shrugged her off like she was nothing, like she was dirt. She hated him. He was her kind, and he just let her go. She absolutely despised him.

Looking back with those same hopeless eyes, she spoke one last word before her whole world was thrown into shadows.

"Inuyasha"
