The clock read 6:00 pm. He knew that soon he would be at his most vulnerable. He ran off into the thick forest surrounding the Higurashi shrine. Suddenly he heard a scream coming from the house… and he smelled the scent of blood. This blood had a special zing to it. The zing that made his heart race.
Kagome Higurashi was the average 25 year old. One day she got a call from her old friends Sango and Miroku. Miroku had ran into an old college roommate of his who needed a place to stay. Sango and Miroku already had two four year old children and a third one on the way. Their house was already to full so they called Kagome to see if he could stay with her. She reluctantly accepted.
Kagome always had been very shy and she had a strong fear of men due to her childhood. Her Uncle was an alcoholic who had beaten and molested her. Her Uncle has been in prison for 15 years now. She used to have nightmares about him, but they had recently stopped. The night that she had gotten the phone call, they all came rushing back.
What's wrong with me? I've always been afraid of men, so why did I decide to let him stay here? Kagome was about to reach for the phone, then stopped. Maybe he's different from my uncle. It's decided then. He will stay here with me.
"So what does this Kagome girl look like?" Inuyasha asked with an evil glint in his eye.
"She is off-limits Inuyasha!" Sango yelled. Sango only raised her voice when she was very annoyed and when she saw Miroku- her husband- eyeing other women.
"Sango my dearest, please calm down. This can be handled without violence." Miroku immediately regretted butting in to the conversation. He never could figure out how Sango could grab the nearest chair and hit him with it so quickly.
"Ok, relax. I won't try to get her into bed with me…yet." Inuyasha said with a grin. He flinched when he saw the chair next to him disappear.
"Then it's settled. Inuyasha will stay with Kagome, and he won't lay a finger on her." Sango said, quite pleased with herself.
Suddenly there was loud sobbing from the next room. "Mommy! Kaede pulled my hair!"
"No I didn't! Kikyou is lying Mommy!" Sango picked up Kaede and had Miroku pick up Kikyou.
"Miroku, will you take Kikyou in the next room?" Sango said, a little irritated. Maybe we should have had Inuyasha stay here. He could help us take care of all these kids.
Meanwhile at the Higurashi Shrine, Kagome was hard at work preparing the guest room. "Well I sure do have my work cut out for me, don't I?" Kagome said to herself while looking at the box-cluttered guest room. If I had just said no then I wouldn't have gotten into this mess and wouldn't be cleaning this filthy guest room.
The next day, Kagome heard the doorbell ring. She figured that Miroku and Sango had brought their friend. She ran down the stairs and flung the door open. To her disappointment it was the mailman. She had a few magazines, so she decided to sit down and look at them. As soon as she sat down the doorbell rang again. Annoyed, she got up and answered the door. In front of her stood Miroku, Sango, the twins, and a strange man. He had hair so blonde that it was white, and he wore a red jacket with black pants. The strangest thing about him though, was his ears. They were white and fuzzy, placed perfectly atop his head.
"Come in, come in!" Kagome said nervously.
"Thank you for looking after our friend Kagome. We really appreciate it what with the twins and the baby on the way." Miroku said thankfully. "Inuyasha, why don't you introduce yourself?"
"My name is Inuyasha. There. Are you happy now Miroku?" Inuyasha said, very irritated.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but we must be off. We have to get the kids to pre-school. Goodbye!" said Sango, a little bit worried for Kagome.
"Goodbye Sango!" Kagome said sadly. Great. This is just great. I've only met the guy 5 minutes ago and now I'm alone with him. The only people in the house were now Kagome and Inuyasha.
Author's Note: This is my first time making something like this so please go easy on me. Also this is not supposed be like the show itself. I just use the characters and how they act somewhat. This story takes place in the modern world. This is just the first chapter.
