DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own Inuyasha!

Tragic Loss can lead to more..

Summary: Kagome Higurashi, 19 year old girl. lost her family to a fire. But when she thought her life couldn't become more misserabel she was dragged into an ally, will anyone save her, or will she now be alone?

Who's that? Silver hair?

Innocence Lost?

Smoke was everywhere.

The flames seemed to be coming from downstairs, probally the kitchen. Whatever the case, they were trapped, that is all for one. Kagome, the eldest child of the family. She was in her room on the second floor, and could quite easily jump out the window and survive. But everyone else, they were on the third floor.

And it was unlikely that they would survive the flames.

Kagome stumbled out of her bed, and began shouting for her family.

The only replys she got were coughs and muffled sounds which sounded like "get out kagome!"

She tried to open her door, but once she did she quickly shut it again to stop the flames that were gathering around outside. How was she going to get out?

She quickly scanned the room looking for anything that may be of use. She spotted the window, it would open enough for her to clime out, now she needed something like a rope. She looked over at her bed, the sheets were all messed up, but they looked strong enough to support her weight. She grabbed them and made a makeshift rope by tying the ends of both sheets together and supporting one end on her bed post.

"Ok, well here goes." she sighed as she throw the other end of the 'rope' out the open window and slowly began climbing her way down.

Once she was safely in the garden she started shouting.

"Help, someone help my house is on fire. Mama! Jii-chan! Souta! Are you ok!" she screamed. but there was no reply. No one came, she lived to far away from civialisation for people to see the smoke or hear her plea's for help.

She quickly ran off for help, perhaps a phone.

But deep down she knew it was useless, she found someone after 10 minutes of running. "Please help me, i live at the shrine and it's on fire, my family is still inside!" She exclaimed.

"Oh dear Miss are you alright?" He asked. She just shook her head as silent tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I'll go ring the fire service now, you stay here!" He yelled as he ran back into his house.

Kagome just slid to the floor on her knee's by the side of the road, looking out for the fire engine as more tears kept falling from her puffy eyes.

15 minutes passed and the sirin finally came screaming down the road on its was to the shrine. Kagome Quickly got up and ran back towards the shrine.

The Fire service arrived there only to see the shrine burnt pratically to the ground. The roof was caved in and the rest seemed to be following. The flames were dying down just as it started to rain.

Kagome had just arrived after the fire engine to be greeted by the sight of her broken down house.

The fire engine was just putting out the slowly dying flames that still burned some places. But by the sight of her old home she knew that no one inside would have survived it, and she was pretty sure her family was inside.

She slumped to the floor as sobs shook her body, the rain seemed to get heavier the harder she cried, pretty soon she was soaked to the bone but she didn't seem to notice, she was too deep in mourning. Where was she to go now? her only family member were all gone. She was alone.

A fireman strolled up towards her and croutched down as he placed a towel over shoulders. "I'm sorry miss, but there wasn't much we could do. You should go stay with a friend perhaps, there's a storm coming." With that said, he got up and returned to the fire engine as they drove off.

Kagome slowly lifted her head and stared at the ruins whilst clinging to the blanket.

A bang of thunder flashed off to the left of her making her jump and dropping the blanket in the process.

She continued to stare at her crumbling home till she could take it no more, she jumped up and ran, she didn't know where she was going, she didn't have anywhere to go. She just ran and ran, straight into the city, she came to a hault just outside a ally way, and slid to the floor as more tears seeped out her eyes and crawled down her slighly pale cheeks.

She sniffled as she foot steps seem to be drawing closer, before she knew what was happening a rough wet hand grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the alleyway, sheltered from the storm. 5 more sets of footsteps followed.

She was shoved up against a damp and cold wall, the air around her was pungent and made her want to vomit, but the hand had made it way up to her throat.

She began to scream and thrash about only to be silenced by a slap to her face. She cried out in pain, as she held a hand to her swollen cheek.

She frantically looked around the ally to see 5 men surrounded her and one holding her against the ally wall. "Let me Go! Let Me GO!" her screams were cut short by a rag in her mouth.

"Shut Up you little bitch!" he yelled. His face then came to her ear. "Were only going to have some fun, and if you're good we might not kill you." He whispered in her ear, as he licked the outside of it, making her shiver in digust.

The man suddenly began ripping off her clothes, first her shirt was torn open and pulled off, her bra came next and that was flung somewhere. She tried to scream more but it was muffled, he then made his way to her pj bottoms and roughly slid them down her legs. She was just left in her panties. And shaking like a leaf. 'Oh my god, i'm going to be raped! I've already lost enough, my family! Now my innocence! This is to cruel.' She broke down into another fit of viois lent sobs as the man made his way to her panties. 'this was it, she was going to be raped..'
