Chapter 1:

Ayame threw on a pale dark purple dress that was tight around the stomach and a bit loose around her chest and ended at her knees. She put her hair down and curled it. Throwing her bag over her shoulder and throwing on a pair of flats, she ran out the door to work and hopped into her hummer. She sighed as she listened to Rebirthing by Skillet. How she loved that band…

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kagome giggled as she rubbed her body up and down, grinding against a stranger in the dark of the party in some house. Adrenaline pumped through her veins as the music pounded in her ears. She was sweating like crazy and her clothes stuck to her. Her pink tank top that ended at belly button was covered in alcohol and her skinny jeans were stolen and dirty. She was so drunk she didn't notice the night go by so fast.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kouga grimaced as a punch was thrown at him. He wasn't going to let these men beat him to a bloody pulp! Grabbing a nearby bottle, he smashed it against a guy's head and then punched his gut. Feeling the presence of two more of the men, he sighed. It was going to be a long night…

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Inuyasha Takahata threw on his glasses. He saw Ayame Watanabe rush into the office and smiled, she was always there early. He smiled and the two went off to their work, enjoying the quiet of the office.

The next day…

Kagome sighed as she woke up. Her head was killing her. Where the hell was she? Moaning in pain and throwing her head back against the pillow, she suddenly was turned onto her back when something turned around onto her. Shocked she tried to move but the body pinning hers was huge. Groaning in pain she tried to wriggle around. OH, how her head killed! She stooped struggling, seeing it was futile. She somehow felt weird… like she was missing something. She felt bare… Her eyes widened as she saw her clothes on the floor. She groaned and pushed harder and the guy rolled off. Feeling her cheeks heat up she felt her head throb harder. The guy finally senses something moving underneath him and got up puzzled. Kagome hurried up, rubbing her head and pulling the blanket over her body. The man's eyes widened. Kagome sighed and grabbed her clothes, running out of the room and out onto the street. She raced into a park and splashed her face, hoping the burning in her cheeks would calm down.

She sighed as she leaned against a tree. She couldn't remember what happened the night before, and she was pretty sure she didn't want to. She had slept with a man...again. She looked at her reflection in the fountain and glared in disgust. She was a poor filthy slut she told herself. Tears were creeping into her eyes. Money was so scarce…She never should have run away all those years ago…. Tired and weary, Kagome headed back to her apartment that was falling apart, just like her life.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kouga grimaced as pain shook his body. "Must have fallen unconscious last night" he thought as he got up. He had multiple cuts and bruises and was freaking starving! He looked around and saw the guys from yesterday unconscious, on the ground next to him. He stole their wallets and went to a nearby store, hoping to find bandages and food.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Ayame sighed as she woke up, her silk pajamas all wrinkled. She got up and hopped into the shower, content with life. Humming she brushed her teeth and did her usual thing before going out to buy some groceries.

On Ayame's way to the store, she saw a girl wearing dirty clothes staring at her reflection with anger before wiping tears from her eyes. Feeling bad and wondering what happened to her, Ayame hoped she would be okay, not knowing the girl would be a part of her life later on.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Inuyasha sighed as he watched some rather good looking females on television. He was glad to take a break from work and rubbed his eyes as he took of his glasses. Going out by the window of his home he looked out and saw a beautiful woman walk into a dirty building. He frowned, "The building really should be taken down!" he thought as his mind went to thinking about the raven haired woman.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kouga grimaced as his side stung again. He opened the door, ignoring the pain in his hand from a huge cut. The dried blood stuck to the door handle as he walked into the store, all eyes on him. Ignoring people staring he went into the aisle he wanted to. Annoyed he glared at a timid old lady who was shaking her head as she looked at him. The lady turned around, knowing she got caught staring. Kouga groaned and went back to minding his own business.

Soon the scent of another wolf demon reached his sore nose and he turned to spot a rather attractive red head in skinny jeans and a Coco Channel shirt. She was so busy looking at soup she didn't notice a can of tomato soup fall from above. He reached over and grabbed the can, grunting as the cut on his hand opened. The woman looked up confused and a droplet of blood splattered onto forehead from Kouga's hand .The girl took a step back in surprise and bumped into Kouga who moaned as his chest throbbed with pain again. Damn those punks last night…

Ayame looked shocked and wiped the blood off her forehead before asking if the man was okay. The man nodded before limping off. Ayame shouted him for to stop. Kouga ignored her and kept walking. Ayame ran up to him and grabbed his arm. Kouga glared back at her asking what the hell she wanted. Ayame began rummaging through her purse and pulled out some bandages and grabbed his hand.

Kouga pulled his hand away, before growling "Hey lady don't bother I don't need your help!"

Ayame was surprised by his rudeness. "N-no I insist," she stuttered reaching for his hand once more.

Kouga glared at her, "Perhaps I should rephrase that…I don't want your help."

Ayame anger flared. "And I INSIST!" she said firmly, ignoring some nosy lady next to her who was giving her looks.

Kouga smirked at her, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "Fine, work your magic babe."

Ayame grinned at his sudden mood change and grabbed his hand dragging him to the front of the store. She grabbed alcohol and bandages and water and other medical utensils she thought she might need. She then took him to a bench and forced an amused Kouga down. She was so bossy! "Aggressive little bitch!" he thought with a smirk.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kagome sighed as she went into her cockroach infested apartment. A picture of her late father hung against the wall, the only two clean things in the room. Opening her fridge she took out a slice of cheese and bread and gobbled it down hungrily.

"Time for work" she thought and hopped into her small tub, crushing a bug with her foot. She let the cold water run and threw on a pair of ripped jeans and a white sweater over a shortened white t-shirt. She worked lots of different jobs to stay alive. Today she had three to do. She sighed as she went into the grocery store, watching some red head in skinny jeans and Coco Channel shirt walk by. "Rich bitch" she thought with jealousy and Kagome went to stack milk cartons in the freezing back. She threw on a pair of gloves and went to work, as the air chilled her.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

She gently cleaned his face, smiling as he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall behind them. He looked like a young boy who was badly beaten. Ayame took great care and cleaned his every cut. Kouga sighed and relaxed.

Ayame asked him "Are there any cuts on your chest?"

"I unno…"

Ayame rolled her eyes, and said "Well check! Does it hurt?"

Kouga ignored her. Ayame glared at his still form and smirked. She WOULD NOT be ignored. Getting out a finely manicured claw, she gently trailed a finger down his neck and right through his shirt, ripping it in the middle. That sure woke him up. He glared at her, "What the hell did you do?"

Ayame grinned a toothy grin up at him. "I'm checking to see if you chest is ok."

Kouga glared at her. "Well fuck you! You didn't have to go and rip my shirt you know! "Cuz not all of us are filthy rich like you! We're just plain filthy! And since we live out on the street, we don't own as many items of clothing either! Man, this pisses me off!" he cried and walked away.

His body ached for relief and he was so hungry he might eat that red headed chick if she came any closer. A whimper caused him to turn around. He saw the red head looking down with a sad look. She quickly drew money from her purse and got off the bench, apologizing. Kouga sighed and shook his head.

"Just go will ya?" he said with a tired look.

"Hey, young lady is this man bothering you?" said a man looking at Kouga in distaste. Kouga glared at him but before he could speak Ayame cut in.

"NO, he and I were just on our way to the hospital. We're great friends." She said, pushing Kouga towards her vehicle. The man nodded and went off. Kouga glared at her but before he could say something Ayame kicked him HARD in the stomach. She would get what she wanted! He doubled over in pain and she pushed him into her vehicle and shut the door before hurrying and getting in after him. She locked the door and started off towards the hospital with a shocked Kouga in the back seat.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kagome screamed as the man grabbed her waist. "Hand over your money or else!" he threatened. Kagome glared at him and gave him a swift kick in the stomach. Kagome then twisted her body around and knocked him unconscious; regretting taking a shortcut through a dark alley. She ran home and saw someone with golden eyes and silver hair, looking at her as she ran by. "Stupid creepy dude" she thought. "But he is good looking…" Shaking her head of thoughts she continued home, not knowing that man would be a part of her life soon.

……………………………………………………………………………………………...

Inuyasha looked at the girl he saw earlier, feeling bad as he saw her dirty clothes but surprised at the black fire in her eyes. She caught him looking at him and glared at him. Inuyasha just stood there as he watched her walk away. Without thinking twice, he

followed her.

A/N Hope you guys liked so far! 

I tried to make it was long as possible and it turned out to be short! I will update soon if I get at least 2 reviews.

And this will have equal amounts of Ayame X Kouga and Kagome X Inuyasha no matter what it says about the main couple.  R&R

Oh and I know Kagome sounds like some slut (a little) but that's not who she really is, it was just one time thing
