Accidents aren't always Accidental

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I'm about, oh, three billion dollars short. That and the fact that if I did, I'd be shipping more Inuyasha episodes over to America and replacing all the crappy dubbed episodes with subbed ones.

Kagome walked alone to school, thinking about the upcoming school dance. She and her best friend of ten years, Sango, had gotten special permission to plan it, since the school didn't normally have dances. They needed to think of a theme, and Kagome had gotten some really good ideas.

Suddenly, a fire truck whizzed by, closely followed by an ambulance.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Kagome wondered aloud.

As she walked on, her question was answered. A silver Mercedes E-class had been rammed in the side by a huge SUV, and a child had been in the backseat of the car. Kagome gasped and ran to the small Mercedes. The child appeared mainly unhurt, but the driver was pinned under mangled metal that was once a door and a doorframe.

The sad thing was that his eyes were open, and full of pain. Kagome stared at him, because he was hurt, and because he was the most uniquely handsome man she'd ever seen. His silvery-white hair traveled down his back, and his eyes were amber, or maybe gold. "Help… me…" he whispered.

"Um, the ambulance people are here, they can get you out. Let me get your-your daughter, right? I have to get her out of the car," Kagome said calmly, as calmly as someone could when death was lurking ahead flashing a neon sign in your face.

She got to the girl, who couldn't have been more than 4. "Here, let me get you out-um, what's your name?" Kagome asked, with a look of puzzlement on her face.

The little girl looked up and, surprisingly, she smiled. "My name's Rin! And his name is Sesshoumaru! We got hit by that big truck-thingy over there", she said, pointing at the dark blue SUV.

The EMT's rushed over to the car. "Ma'am, do you know what happened here?" one asked Kagome.

Kagome nodded. "That SUV rammed into their side, pinning him under the steering wheel. His name's, uh, Sesshoumaru. This girl, Rin, appears unhurt, but I'm not sure," she informed.

The firemen were suddenly there, asking what happened. Kagome explained again. They nodded, assessing the situation. "Um, ma'am, I think we may have to use the Jaws of Life. You should probably take her"-he indicated Rin-"home. You do know where she lives, right?" the fireman asked.

"No, but I can find out," Kagome replied. She walked over to the mangled car. "Sesshoumaru?" she asked calmly and softly.

A muffled moan of pain was all that came as a response.

"I need your address, so I can take Rin there. If that's all right with you, of course."

Sesshoumaru looked up. "1003 Lakeview Drive, it's a green…" His voice trailed off.

"Um, Mr. Fireman?" Kagome asked, a hint of panic in her voice. "What?" he asked back, slightly exasperated from trying to pry an almost-lifeless Sesshoumaru from the driver's seat. "I need a car to take Rin home. Her house is across town, over in the-" She abruptly stopped. 'Their house is in the rich section! In the mansion part of town! Holy Shikon shard…' She cleared her throat. "In the mansion section."

The fireman smiled. "I'll call my wife to drive you over there, if that's okay," he offered.

Kagome smiled and nodded. "That would help, thank you!" she exclaimed.

The fireman dialed his wife's number.

Kagome felt something tug her skirt. "I wanna go see Sesshy-chan! I wanna go see Sesshy-chan! I wanna go see Sesshy-chan! I wanna go-" Rin chanted.

Kagome held up her hands. "Whoa, whoa. Let's see if we can even get over to him. Come on, let's go see," she interrupted. She held Rin's hand and walked over to the twisted mass of metal that had once been an expensive sports car. ((A/N: Some people might not think that's expensive, but to me, anything over about $300 is expensive. I'm not rich-ish at all…))

"Sesshy-chan! What's wrong, Sesshy-chan?" the confused Rin asked.

Sesshoumaru looked up. The firemen had managed to get about half of the distorted metal peeled back. "Rin? The nice lady is going to take you home, okay? I'll call you as soon as I can, okay?" he replied, not answering her question.

"Okay," Rin said slowly, trying as best she could to take in her surroundings.

Suddenly, a horn tooted from about 30 feet away. Kagome looked up. "Hey, Rin, that's our ride, sweetie." Rin looked up and ran to the small red sedan.

Kagome followed, as she had no choice.
