Hi everyone! I thought that in honor of my new pen name, I should write out a killer story for everyone! Tell me what you think, this story will probably last at least 20 chapters and because I HATE endings I'll most likely write a sequel! I'm not sure I'm going to add a lemon, I want to write a story everyone can enjoy. This will eventually end in a INUXKAG pairing as I can't stand either of them with another person so don't get your hopes up if you think Miroku's little visit with her in the café means that they are going to fall in love. I just needed that scene for something. In this story Kagome is about 19 and Inu Yasha about 22 or so. Also I rated this T because of gory and bloody parts. Tell me if you think I should raise it. Please tell me what you think! See you at the end of the chapter!
Kagome: So am I good or bad here?
Nanami: You have to wait and see:giggles:
DISCLAIMER: I have not yet raised enough to buy Inu Yasha. You will hear loud screams of delight world wide when I do.

Chapter One
Kagome's Revenge
Kagome screamed. The bodies of her family was torn around the room, blood scattered over the carpet. And their in the middle of the room was a demon. Head lowered and breathing hard, he slowly turned his cold eyes to the teenager in the doorway. With a sudden leap of his paws, he raced toward her, his claws and fangs out. Murder was visibly intent in his amber eyes. Kagome screamed again, and dodged the attack falling on her knees in the debris strewn kitchen. A sudden blow on the back of her neck and she fell to the ground, her blood now leaking over her shoulders. Coughing from the sudden blow, she staggered to her feet and tried to reach the door, still open from her sudden arrival. A blood red shadow fell over her as she reached the door and she closed her eyes, knowing she was no match for a blood lusting demon. The second blow was harder than the first. Knocking her entirely off her feet and back into the middle of the kitchen. She flailed, trying to get back on her feet and away from the demon, her blood now flowing freely from the wound on her chest. Her hands suddenly found a hard object, squinting her eyes, she realized she now held a large knife, the butchering kind. Adrenaline burst through her at her new chance of survival. She spun and crouched on the ground. Surveying the smirking demon in front of her, she held the knife in front of her and waited for the expected attack. He ran at her in a millisecond and she flailed with the knife, sudden fear and hopelessness rushing through her as she realized how deadly his eyes were intent on her. With a last jab, she felt the knife hit something solid, and her eyes shot open as she heard the howl of the demon as he collapsed on top of her, his own rushing blood now one with hers. Kagome screamed.
Kagome's topaz eyes snapped open, her grimy shirt soaked through with sweat and tears. Running a shaky clawed hand through her tangled and matted blue hair and stuffing on her black skull cap she kept to hide here ears, she tried to shake off the reoccurring nightmare. Standing up, she stumbled against the sheets of foam she had been using to keep herself warm in the gutter of Tokyo.
She ignored the startled glances of the passer byers who had been shocked to see the pile of garbage come alive. Most of them scattered at the sight of her frighteningly demon eyes. Kagome snarled to herself as she stalked off, she had gone without food again for at least two days and she was hungry.
She seethed inside, the demon that had attacked and killed her family and destroyed the rest of her life had never been found. She had run next door while the unconscious demon lay on her kitchen floor and by the time the police had arrived he had disappeared. The transformation itself into a hanyou had been fast. She had first noticed it the day afterwards when she had woken up and found the scratches and bruises from her fight gone. She realized what was happening and had tried to hide it from Eri's family whom she was staying with. But the blue hair and emerging claws became too hard to hide after a few days and the horrorstricken family became terrified when they realized she had been turned hanyou by the mixing of her blood and the murderer's own blood during the fight. She had been kicked out from their home the very day they had realized.
Kagome's head pounded at the arrival of memories, her living on the streets, avoiding dangerous gangs, all the while trying to find the demon who had killed her family.
Her step quickened, as if trying to escape the hidden memories arising in her mind. Not watching where she was going, she turned the corner and accidentally ran full force into a handsome man about nineteen. Looking up, she blanched and scurried backwards.
"I'm so sorry sir, please forgive me I didn't mean to." Kagome stuttered, apologizing to the cute monk in front of her. "I'm so SO sorry."
The monk smirked. "No problem. Really. Its an honor to be run into by such beautiful girl." He held out his hand. "The names Miroku."
Kagome blushed and shook the outstretched hand. "Kagome. I'm really sorry though. I should have watched where I was going."
Miroku smiled. The girl was obviously hungry, and he could remedy that. "Well Kagome, would you like something to eat?"
"Oh no, I'm really not hungry." Her stomach denied the lie as it growled loudly. "Well, I can't oppose on you." She said, a slight blush staining her cheeks.
"I insist." Miroku said, taking her arm and steering her into a nearby café. "Such a lovely young lady should not go unfed."
Kagome gently tugged her arm from his hand, not wanting him to notice the claws erupting from her fingers, but followed him into the restaurant. It wasn't every day a complete stranger offered to buy you a meal.
Miroku took a seat in a table near the window and smiled at Kagome as she hesitantly took the seat across the table.
"So, what would you like to eat?"
"I - I don't know." Kagome stuttered, looking in awe at the fancy café.
"How about a cucumber sandwich? They are rather good here." (a/n I have NO idea what they eat in Japan. Cucumber sandwiches was all I could think off.)
"Sure, whatever." Kagome muttered. Still a little shocked at her sudden change of flight.
Miroku turned to the waitress, "Two cucumber sandwiches and two coffees please." He said, then turned to Kagome. "You don't have anything against coffee, do you?"
"No"
"Of course not." Miroku chuckled, "I haven't met a single person who didn't."
"So, Kagome. Whats a girl like you doing around here?" He said as the waitress walked off with their order. "You don't look like you are in the business world yet."
Kagome's mind raced. Obviously he hadn't realized she was from the streets.
"I got lost." She shot out all of a sudden, almost giving away her cover. "I'm new here and didn't know how to get back."
"Well then," Miroku said, sitting straighter in his chair. "I can walk you home after lunch. Just tell me where you are trying to get too."
Kagome's face blanched. 'Damn it!' She thought. 'How do I get out of this?'
"Oh no." She said. "I'm sure I can get home from here."
"I though you were visiting?"
"I am! I mean my friends home. Its okay, I know how to get there from here."
"All right. If you're sure." Said Miroku a bit confused. "You know, I'm not going to bite."
"I - I know." Kagome said starting to rise from her chair. "Look, I should probably be going."
"Kagome," Miroku said, startled at her sudden movement. "you haven't eaten yet. At least wait till then."
Kagome slowly settled back down in her chair. "Okay." She muttered.
Suddenly the waitress came back with the meal. Setting one plate in front of Kagome and the other one in front of Miroku, she walked away. Kagome's eyes lit up at the sight of the sandwich and the salad that came with. Picking up her fork she dug into it.
"Thank you for the, uh, meal." She said to Miroku, her mouth full.
"Your welcome." Miroku replied. "I hope you like it."
Kagome nodded her head and looked out the window, still chewing on her sandwich. Miroku watched her, his own sandwich sitting on his plate uneaten. Kagome glanced back at Miroku and caught him watching her. She lowered her head and blushed.
"What." She said. "Do I have something on my face?"
"No, no." He assured her. "I was just thinking."
"Well I should be going now." Kagome stated, looking at her empty plate. "My friend will be worried, I've been gone awhile."
"Ok, are you sure you don't want me to take you in case you get lost again?"
"No, I'm pretty sure of my bearings from here. Thanks for the food, if I ever see you again I'll repay you." She stood up and started to head for the door. Miroku jumped up behind her. That was his cue.
"You know Kagome," he said, startling Kagome who turned to look at him. "I can think of a way you can repay me. Will you bear my children?"
Kagome gasped, blood rushing to her head she slapped Miroku flat across his face. Miroku came back up, his face sporting a hand shaped splotch each one topped by a bleeding spot from Kagome's claws. Miroku lifted his hand and took it away to stare confused at the blood.
"Kagome," he said, still staring unbelievingly at his bloody hand. "You have claws." He lifted his eyes and stared at the girls terrified face. "You're a Hanyou."
At that last statement Kagome bolted for the door. Leaving the astonished monk behind her, his fist fully clenched staring at her retreating back.
Kagome ran down the street, her worn shoes hitting the ground in a steady pat pat, pat pat. They never left her alone after realizing what she was. She was lucky she got away before he had called the cops.
Panting, she slowed down and looked behind her, the café had disappeared in the background and the monk hadn't followed her. She collapsed and settled against the concrete of an office building. Shaking, she held her hand in front of her, staring at the offending claws. She clenched her hands, her claws digging into her palm. They always gave her away, long before anyone even realized anything else. Her stomach growled and she started, that sandwich hadn't been near enough to satisfy her appetite. She stood up, she could always find a free meal at the Demon's haunt. Standing up she took off at a gentle jog.
And hour later she reached what seemed to be a empty warehouse and self consciously knocked at the side door. A redhead with doggy ears opened the door and Kagome shot through then turned to her friend.
"Hi Ayame. Whats up?"
"Not much Kagome. You hungry?" Ayame turned and headed to a room that echoed with soft music and the laughs of other hanyous and demons.
"You bet. I had a little snack earlier. You got any ramon?"
"Yeah, go ahead and find a seat and I'll bring it to you."
Kagome walked into the room and settled in a chair in the dark side of the room. She rubbed her temples, trying to soothe her pounding head ache.
"Today is SO not fun." She growled to herself. Everything had gone wrong starting from the very second she had woken up. She propped her tired legs and up and settled for a nap. Ayame had a lot to do, it would be a while before she brought any food. She closed her eyes and dozed.
Ayame's angry voice brought Kagome to full awareness. Through sleep shrouded eyes she watched Ayame yell angrily at a young women at the door. 'She isn't a demon.' Kagome thought, staring anxiously at the woman threatening her friend. 'Damn! it's a slayer!' Kagome bounced to her feet and started running. The demon slayer had brought out what appeared to be a sharp knife and was holding it to Ayame's throat, her voice rising to an uncomfortable height screaming threats and hideous words at Ayame. Kagome's anger level rose as she realized that none of the other full demons had raised to help her friend, most of them looked on as if it was a sideshow entertainment.
Kagome reached the door and punched the slayer hard on the face, sending the women sprawling across the floor before she stood up again and seethed at Kagome, blood leaking out of her mouth.
"What, another bloody murdering demon? Can't take me on one by one, can you cowards?" The tall slayer brought her hand to her mouth and with a jerk wiped away the blood dripping from her face, her nose wrinkling in distaste. "I'll kill you for what you did."
"Ayame!" Kagome whispered franticly into her friend's ear as she stepped back away from the deadly person in front of them. "What did we do?"
"I have no idea." Ayame growled back. "She just showed up and started demanding for someone named Kohaku!"
Kagome glanced back at the seething woman. "We don't have anyone here named Kohaku!" She shouted, sending Ayame's ears into the down position. "It must be some other demon club!"
"Liar! You have him and no other. We have witnesses!" The slayer burst forward with a sudden wild speed. Kagome, caught off guard, thrust Ayame away from them then ducked the blow, the deadly weapon a glance from her head.
"Bitch!" Kagome screamed, red leaking into her eyes. "You are attacking innocent demons! We didn't touch any human, demon, or hanyou by the name of Kohaku!"
Kagome leaped forward, ducking under the slayers weapon and slashing her face, bringing up five full slashes across her forehead and cheeks, blood instantly welling. The slayer fell to the ground, hand raised to her face, unbelieving shock in her eyes. Kagome stalked over, her eyes fully burgundy, her fangs visible in her sneering mouth. Standing over the defenseless slayer, she kicked the weapon away when the woman reached for it. She leaned over and picked her up by her throat and lifted her off of her feet and over he head. The demon in Kagome had taken over, she wanted this slayer to die.
Suddenly, Kagome's head whipped back as was hit square in the back. She flew across the room, dropping the slayer who gasped for breath and crawled away. Kagome jumped up and whirled into a fighters stance. The red in her eyes had drained away at the sudden blow and she was Kagome once again. The attacker was hanyou. His hair was silver and his eyes a dark amber. Kagome blanched at the sight of him, a memory coming to life.
The murdering demon looked across the room at the terrified girl, his silver hair whipping around his face. Amber eyes leaked with red staring straight into hers, purple stripes across his cheek and a moon on his forehead.
'This' Kagome realized. 'This is the one that destroyed my life and killed my family. His markings must fade when he is out of his blood lust.'
Kagome screamed, this time in anger not fear, and sprinted the distance toward the hanyou, fangs and claws full out, her eyes full red for the second time that hour. Reaching him, she squinted her eyes and attacked, only to crash full force into the wall that had been behind him. 'He dodged it!' her mind screamed. 'How the bloody hell did he do that?' Suddenly there was a heavy weight on her back and claws at her throat. "If you want to live." He whispered in her ear that twitched as she growled in anger. " Then hold still, I'm not afraid to kill a murderer."
"Murderer!" She spat, her voice rising to high enough strains to hurt her own ears. "Speak for yourself!" She whipped her head up, knocking the hanyou full in the face, successfully knocking him off her back and his claws from her throat. She whirled again, facing her opponent who was shaking his head dog like, droplets of blood flowing from his nose.
Kagome cricked her neck, eyes not leaving her opponent. "So, Murderer. How does that feel."
"Like a pile of dog shit. What is up with you anyways?"
"You should know, you damn bastard." Kagome's eyes glinted as she and the hanyou male circled each other. She noticed that his eyes were still a normal amber color. 'How the hell does he keep his control?' she thought to herself. 'Its just damn unnatural.'
Suddenly she was caught off guard by a knife at her throat. "Coward" she spat, raising her head more in pride than to avoid the deadly sharp blade. "Should have known something like this would happen. Can't fight until they can't fight back. Bastard."
The hanyou stood up, walking closer to her and nodding his head in thanks to the slayer who was once again on her feet and deadly. He knelt down a few feet away from Kagome's face and looked into her eyes. Kagome opened her mouth and hissed like the cat hanyou she was, bearing her fangs in full deadly hate.
"Sango." he said, still looking curiously at Kagome as if trying to uncover some secret. "Let her go."
"Inu Yasha!" The slayer yelped. "I'm not letting her go until they release my brother!"
"I don't think he's here Sango. We need to leave." Sango groaned madly at the exasperating hanyou, and hesitantly lifted the weapon from the cat's throat. Kagome leaped up and hovered in front of them, eyes wary for another attack.
"Its okay." the hanyou named Inu Yasha said. "We're leaving. And IF you know who has a human slayer named Kohaku captive, tell them to let him go or suffer the consequences." With that, him and the human slayer walked out of the warehouse, Sango still staring over her shoulder as if trying to see her brother tied up in a dark corner.
Kagome sighed as the door shut behind them. He was gone, but now she knew who he was and that he was still alive. She could still hunt him down and kill him. 'But not now.' she realized, feeling her legs shake in exhaustion beneath her. 'I'll kill him later.' With that she sat down on an empty chair and fell into a half sleep half unconscious state.
"Kagome," a voice whispered in her ear about a half hour later. "Are you still hungry?"
Kagome eyes opened a crack and grinned at her friend. "Are you kidding me? After that I feel like I could eat a damn cow." Sitting up she reached for the bowl of ramen with a thankful smile at her friend. "Thanks Ayame, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Nor me you, Kagome. That damn slayer had her sword out before I even noticed she had one, you must have a good eye." Ayame smiled down at her best friend as she slurped down the ramen hungrily.
"Or just a sixth sense." Kagome answered. "I saw you had a slayer on your hands and was on my feet before she had even pulled out that damn blade."
"You must have been moving faster than I thought, girl." Ayame said, after checking her friend out for injuries. "I don't think they even touched you."
"I don't know, Ayame." Kagome said, staring quizzically at her friend. "I don't think they even really tried to. Or at least that Inu Yasha hanyou. The damn bastard. He's the one Ayame, I recognized him after he had hit me in the back. He's the one who killed my family."
"What!" Ayame shrieked, "And you didn't to think to tell me this! Before now?"
"Ayame, please, calm down." Kagome complained, her ears pulled straight down on top of her head. "I told you, you should be happy about that! You have no idea how close I was to just stalking straight out after they left."
"Oh, I'm sorry girl." The wolf demon said as she sat down next to her best friend. "I had no idea that's why you were so mad. I would have jumped in in a flash."
"Its okay Ayame." Kagome uttered, her head sinking onto her chest, her ramen was already gone. "I think I'm going to sleep for awhile before I go back out. Is it okay if I crash here?"
"Of course Kagome." Ayame hugged her friend and stood up. "Would you like to be woken in a couple of hours?"
"Sure girlfriend. See you in a couple of sweet winks." With that Kagome was asleep, her head drooping onto her chest and her ears falling back onto her head, this time gently in an obvious sleepy mode.
An hour or so later, a harsh voice sounded in the same sleepy ears. "Miss Higurashi, please come with us."
Kagome's head jerked up, standing in front of her was a full demon, his hair swept back into a ponytail and a prim smirk on his face. "What the hell for?" She muttered, sleep still clouding her head.
"Mr. Naraku wants to see. Its urgent and will only take a few minutes. Please come."
Kagome sighed, then stood up and followed the man. "This had better be quick." She muttered under her breath. "I have an appointment with the devil in a little while."
The man if front of her smirked. "Trust me, it will be." Taking her arm he steered her into a doorway in the back of the warehouse and pointed towards a door marked 'PRIVATE'.
"He's in there. Please knock before entering." With that he left towards the main room once more.
Kagome watched him leave then started towards the door, reaching it she knocked once briskly then stepped back.
"Come in." A sharp voice penetrated the thick wood of the door. Hesitantly Kagome grasped the door handle and opened it, sticking her head in before she walked in completely.
"Ah, Miss Higurashi," he said. "I've been waiting for you. Please take a seat." He gestured towards a couple of chairs in front of the desk. Kagome smirked as she remembered the identical chairs that used to be in front of the principles desk at her old school and took a seat.
"Thank you." The man in the desk stood up and walked in front of her. " I am Naraku. And I'm here with a proposition for you. I heard that about an hour ago you fought with a certain enemy of mine. A silver haired hanyou." A hiss started in the back of Kagome's throat at the mention of him. "Yes," Naraku said, smirking. "The same man I believe you must have some kind of grudge against."
"He killed my family, Sir." Kagome replied, the sir added as an afterthought. "Anyone would have a grudge if he had done something like that to them."
"Excellent." Naraku said, "this makes my plan even better, tell me Miss Higurashi. Are you willing to go along with me? It would deal with the eventual death of this murderer."
Kagome glanced up at him, surprised at this new development. "How sir?"
"Agree," he smirked. "and I'll tell you."
Kagome stared at him, her head crowded with ideas and thoughts. "And what will I be payed?" She asked.
"I'll let you kill him yourself." Naraku smirked, his fish was landing.
Kagome bit her lip, "Agreed."
Nanami: I'm done! That was such a long time to write, it took me like two whole hours! So what do you think? Do you want more? Cause I just lost a lot of time writing it and I'm going to be SO upset if no one reviews. And I hope all of you catch the hint in the description of the demon who killed her family.
