Ch. One

Hicky: A property mark that usually the dominate male places on his partner, be it male or female.

"That is the last bloody time I let that bloody wolf have a make out session! In fact that is the last time he ever kisses me! I've got his danm property marks all over me now!" I angrily shouted as I walked down the crowded high school hallway.

"Calm down Kago, you're scaring the freshmen." My best friend, Inuyasha, told me.

I just glared at him. He shrank back a bit. My glares could kill.

"Calm? Calm! You want me to be calm! How can I be calm when" I was cut off by someone putting their arms around me and kissing the back of my neck. The only one bold enofe to do that was my boyfriend of almost two years, Koga.

"Hey there baby." Koga said sweetly.

"Get off of me, you stinky wolf!" I nearly yelled, pushing myself away from him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? I thought that make out session was excellent." He said with a perverted smile.

"I told you that the next time you give me a hicky that this relationship is off. I've got at least fifty of them all over my neck, shoulders and chest." I angrily told him. My clenched fists were held down at my side to keep me from punching him. Why on earth did I ever think it would be a good thing to go out with this freak? I asked myself.

"I am nobody's property." I whispered so that only he could hear.

"But you do belong to me, you're my woman." He said. I could hear it in his voice; he thought that he really does own me. He pulled me into a tight hug.

The hall went dead silent. Every one in there knew that was not a good thing to say to me. I came back from summer break a changed girl. You did not want to piss me off.

"What's going on?" asked a freshman standing next to Inuyasha.

"You don't wana know kid." Inu said, pushing the kid into the crowd.

"Koga," I said sweetly, Inu tensed at the sound of my voice. "You're smoothing me. Could you please let go?"

He let go of me and I backed up a few steps. I calmly took off my back pack and set my purse down on top of it.

I turned to face him, all sweetness dropped from my posture. I jumped up and over to Koga and punched him in the face and kicked him twice in the gut all before I landed perfectly on the ground. He fell to the floor.

"How dare you even think of calling me your woman, let alone property! Now suffer for your insults to me and every woman here!" I said in a deally low voice.

I turned and started my track to my next class. I stopped at the edge of the little clearing the students had made and called over my shoulder "come puppy" and kept walking.

The students made a path for me and soon the hall was once again in its normal disarray. Inu caught up with me, carrying my backpack and purse.

I rushed to my next class, trying to hide my tear stained face from the rest of the school. I was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I had never hit anyone unless it was in self-defense, and I never cry without a good resin.

I burst into the, thankfully, empty class room. I was so close to just bawling that it scared me. Seriously, I don't cry. I've no reason to so I don't. I sat heavily in my seat and stared with blank, tear filled eyes at nothing.

Inu walked in the class room behind me and set my bags on the desk next to me.

"Don't worry 'bout it Kago. You never should have been with that loser anyways. It was never a good mach to begin with. Plus he's been treating you like property from day one." Inu said, trying his best to make me feel better.

I sniffed and wiped the tears from my face and smiled at him.

"Of course you're right Puppy. I should have dropped him sooner. I'm just feeling a bit off today. I should be better soon." I shakily admitted.

It was true; I was feeling a bit off that day. Its was like I was on the verge of something huge. Something was going to happen that day. I had felt this way only once before, when I had rescued little Inuyasha from some very religious people.

(flashback)

I had been wondering around the forest close to my house one sunny warm summer afternoon four years ago.

I had heard the speculation about some demons living in the forest at the time and I could care less. I'm a demon as it is, part of some experiment. A religious organization wanted to burn down the forest to try to smoke the demons out so then they could purify them.

Naturally I thought that was a bunch of BS and I wanted to protect my little world, it was the only place I could escape to.

Anyways, I was antsy and went running through the densest part of the forest, dogging branches, and protruding tree roots. I heard the sound of someone whimpering, and people shouting.

I slowed down and went to investigate. There was the religious group torturing this poor little half demon. He was the cutest thin I had ever seen. He had pure, snow-white hair that reached to the small of his back, and cute little puppy ears perched on top of his head. His red, fire rat kimono was ripped in some places and his clawed hands were tide to a tree trunk. I could tell that he had not seen battle before and didn't know how to defend himself from these stupid humans, whose pasture was apparently a demon.

I jumped up into the trees and swiftly, but silently, started to render the mob un-conches. As soon as I reached the front, I jumped down in front of the boy and caught the whip they were torturing him with. My anger showing, I simply untied the sobbing boy and ran into the trees. As soon as we were far enough away that the humans couldn't even dream of caching us, I set the boy down and tended to his various wounds.

"What's your name little one?" I asked softly, trying to calm him down.

"I-In-Inuyasha." He stammered out, looking at me wearily, not trusting me.

"Well then Little Inuyasha, you're in my care now. I won't let any of those nasty humans hurt you anymore, ok?" I asked gently, whipping away some of his tears. He nodded his little head and desperately clung to me as I picked him up. "Were do you live little one?"

"No ones left, they killed them all. Even papa. I think big brother Sessy is still alive, but I don't know were he is." He sniffed. "Can I stay with you Miss? I've no were to go, and I owe you my life. I am your loyal servant."

(end flashback)

Ever since then, little Inuyasha has fallowed me everywhere. I've taken care of him and looked for his big brother Sessomeru. Un-fortunelly, I haven't found this elusive man.

I've tried to keep Inu in school with kids his age, but he gets to board in the classed. Apparently his mother home-schooled him and he is on the same level as I am with school. Which is cool, considering how he's reluctant to leave my side for more then five minuets.

As the classroom filled and the teacher started to drown on the his lecture about Romeo and Juliet. The day went on and I went to lunch. That was were I met the most interesting person in the world, and I would fall in love with him.
