A Match Made In Heaven

-------------------------

My Hero

" Buyo! Come back here." Kagome screamed as she chased after the chubby cat that had escaped from his cage. It was his monthly check up again, which Buyo hated very much so Kagome had to put him in a cage to prevent him from running away. Somehow Buyo had managed to escape anyways.

" Gotcha!" Kagome held onto Buyo tightly as the chubby cat tired to run away again.

" Miss Higurashi" A man dressed in a black suit with sunglasses walked towards her

" You can't just run after your cat like that. What if you got lost or hurt?" Kagome sighed. She loved her parents very much but she hated the fact that she always had to have bodyguards around her. Her family was the richest family in Japan and that was why she had to have bodyguards. At least that's what her parents had said. She didn't want bodyguards but then she wasn't someone who disobeyed her parents.

Just then the bodyguard stopped walking and was staring at something. Kagome looked behind her and there was a man in a baboon mast behind her holding a knife.

" Don't move or she's going to die." He said evenly as if it was an everyday thing to say. Kagome couldn't believe it, it was Naraku. He hated the Higurashi family because they forced him to go bankrupt.

Kagome turned around and thought she saw something in the ally. A pair of amber orbs were staring at her. She tired to look away but she couldn't take her eyes off them.

" What are you looking at?" Naraku looked in the same direction as she was looking at but didn't see anything. Kagome blinked, whoever was there before was gone. All of a sudden she heard a slash and a thud. Naraku lay there lifelessly she looked from his limp body to the person who had done it. It was those same pair of orbs; he had silver hair and cute ears that stuck onto the top of his head. His clothes were torn and he had many scratches on him. She was about to thank him when her bodyguards rushed up and seized him.

" Don't get too close to him, miss Higurashi." They led her back to the limo before she had a chance to thank him.

" Here…go get yourself deodorant or something, you reek!." One of the guards tossed him some money before heading back to the limo.

Kagome slowly slinked into the leather couch that was already occupied with her mother who was blabbing about how thankful she was. Kagome wasn't listening to her mother even though she knew it was rude not to listen to someone when they're talking but her thoughts kept on going back to the silver haired boy who had saved her earlier that afternoon. Who was he? Kagome knew that by his clothes and scratches that he was homeless. Her bodyguards were always suspicious of homeless people. They kept on saying that she should never talk to one or even look at one. She didn't get it though, to her everyone was equal, rich or poor.

" Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter with a worried look. Kagome didn't seem to hear her as she was staring into space.

"Huh? Oh I'm just tired. I'm going to go sleep now." She ran up the long narrow stairway and headed into her room before her mother could get another word in.

The walls of her room were painted a very light shade of blue. Her room was about the size of a small apartment. She had a walk in closet, which was about the size of a regular room and a flat screen TV in the corner across from the bed. Her desk was beside the bed, which was also across from the bathroom door. She had a whole entertainment center up in her room because she spent most of her time in her room.

Kagome flopped herself onto her queen-sized bed and stared at her empty ceiling. She tried to sleep but she couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to know more about him, like his name. There was something that attracted her to him but she didn't really know what. She could feel that there was something special about him; she can't imagine what it must feel like to be all alone in the world.

She made up her mind. The next day she would go see him, with that settled she drifted into sleep.

Kagome gulped as looked below her, it didn't seem that far down so she decided to jump. The rose bush below her cushioned her landing somewhat but she got scratched in a few places so she concluded that it was not a wise decision. Whose idea was it anyways to plant a rose bush below her window? Why couldn't they plant something like a big tree so she could climb down it? She had told her parents that she was working on a project and was going to stay in her room. They believed her without a second thought and why wouldn't they? She was the perfect daughter, and she didn't even believe it herself. Never in a thousand years would she of believed it if someone went up to her and told her that she would lie to her parents, sneak out her window, fall in to a rose bush all for a street boy she didn't know.

Slowly Kagome crept toward the garage where her favorite car lay there waiting for her, a metallic blue convertible. She had gotten it for her sixteenth birthday; around the same time she had gotten her license. She felt lucky that she had decided to leave it in the back garage, it was much easier to sneak out. Since it was still fairly early everyone was either asleep or on his or her way to breakfast. She had to skip breakfast because she needed the low security to get her car out. Sure there were still a lot of security around the estate but she knew that the guards weren't exactly very alert in the morning so it was her only chance.

The car let out a soothing purr as it glided gracefully through the back gate. Mornings were always fairly cool, especially in the country where her family estate was located. She smiled at her reflecting in the mirror as she let the top down allowing the gentle breeze to comb its way through her dark manes. She parked her car in the garage of a small house that was located in the city. Her parents got her the little house in the city for her when she started attending Crimson Cross High, a super elite school for the rich, she was to stay there during her school year which only lasts from September to late march. It was her first year going there and since it was the end of the school year she didn't need to live in the small house by herself anymore.

The reason that the school year was so short was because it was for children whose parents owned big companies and would one day take over for their parents. They needed time to work along side their parents so the school makes them study extra hard so they can learn all of the material in a short amount of time. Her parents thought that it was important for her to concentrate on her studies so they bought her a small house in the city that is located much closer to the school than her real home.

Kagome locked the garage door and headed for downtown, where she had seen the boy last. Upon leaving her house she didn't notice a gang eyeing and following her. Her stomach grumbled reminding her that she hadn't had breakfast yet. She walked into a quaint little sandwich shop and bought her favorite sandwich, grilled chicken sub. Just as she was about to take a bite out of her breakfast a strong masculine hand covered her mouth a bit more tightly than she would've liked. She saw a thin, long shiny knife in the corner of her eye and tensed.

Kagome felt another person push her into a nearby ally. The knife was still pointed at her throat but she told herself not to panic. All the alarms went off in her head when she saw that there was not only two but six guys dressed in baggy clothes looking at her as if she was a piece of meat. Now it was time to panic, time to panic big time. This is it, Kagome said to herself as she looked up at the guy who was holding her. He was talking to another guy, who looked like the leader judging from the way everyone circled him. While her captor was distracted she kneed him in the family jewels and made a run for her life. She panted as she ran down the ally, a horrible mistake that she was about to pay dearly for. It was a dead end; there was nowhere to go. Kagome hung her head in defeat as she shut her eyes tightly and embraced the coldness of the knife that was once again placed at the side of her throat.

" The prettier they are that more feisty they are." The gang leader chuckled lightly as he traced his claws along the side of her cheek. Kagome tired to pull away but immediately stopped when she felt her throat touch the freezing cold metal knife. He felt her move slightly away from him and let out a low growl. He bent down until his eyes met her eyes; his nose was inches away from hers. Kagome felt his warm breath; his eyes glowed of a dark amber color. Kagome let out a little gasp as she gazed into the amber orbs. Could it be? She asked her self; no she couldn't believe it but those eyes. There was something about those eyes that separated them from 'his' eyes. Even though the color was the same she didn't feel the same warmth from them like she had felt from his eyes.

Kagome was sure that whoever that guy standing in front of her was he wasn't 'him'. Kagome was broken from her thoughts when the guy in front of her tilted her chin. " Like what you see?" He gave her a grin that showed his sharp fangs. She bit her lip and kept quiet, she was not ready for what came next. All of a sudden she heard five loud thuds followed closely by five bodies hitting the ground, all of the men who surrounded her were on the ground groaning in pain. The leader looked around and saw nothing but darkness from the corners of the ally. All of a sudden a claw came out of no where and slashed him across the chest, he lay there covered in his own blood, too shocked or scared to move.

The figure stood in the corner, not moving an inch cloaked in the darkness. I'm saved Kagome thought to herself as she let out a sigh of relief. The un-moving figure suddenly took a step toward her; causing her heart to beat faster than it had been beating when the knife was at her throat. Maybe it was the darkness or maybe it was the fact that he single handedly brought down a whole gang but something told her that maybe she wasn't saved just yet. There were a lot of maybes but as far as she was concerned she was far from being safe. As he walked closer she was able to see his feature more accurately, then to her surprise she caught a glimpse of gold that comforted her. It was 'him', she was sure of it now. Even though he seemed dangerous she looked into his eyes and saw nothing but comfort.

She took a step closer to him but to her surprise he took a step back. It was almost like he was scared of her, unsure of what to do next she took another step closer and he continued to retreat. Now she was frustrated, why did he keep on retreating? It couldn't be that he was scared of her, he could knock her out with one punch, so then what was it? Kagome decided that taking another step forward was no good, he would just continue to retreat, she was confused and frustrated at the same time.

" Who are you?" Kagome asked the only question that seemed to pop up in her mind at that minute. He didn't answer but didn't back up when she took another step toward him.

" Why would you care?" His voice was dry but the words he spoke were icy cold. Kagome didn't know what to do now; she figured that he was probably hungry so she held out her sandwich.

" Here, take it you must be hungry."

" I'm not some charity case, don't think I went out of my way to save you." He spat furiously before mumbling, "They were in my way." He started to walk away but then felt a tiny tug at his sleeve. As he turned around to look at her his eyes widened. His gaze was locked into those gravitating hazel eyes of hers, but what surprised him the most was the concern in her eyes. At that moment he realized that what she felt was true concern and not pity at all. There was a moment of silence before he reached out his hand to the sandwich that she was still holding out to him. Kagome took this chance and pulled him out of the dark. She stared at him in awe; he had the most beautiful amber orbs, they looked even more mesmerizing in the light. His long silver hair looked so silky and soft, on the top of his head were a pair of ears. She looked from his breath taking features to his amazingly cute ears. Kagome blushed when she saw the ears twitch, indicating that he knew she was staring at them.

" You're…." Kagome couldn't finish the sentence because she was blushing so much.

" …a freak." He finished looking away. No, she thought to herself, you're incredibly hot she wanted to say but that wouldn't have been appropriate so she decided to state the obvious instead. " No…a hero." She finished when she finally caught her breath.

He looked at her in disbelief, maybe his intuition was right and she was different. No, but she said I was a hero but she probably thinks I'm a freak at the same time. He shook those thoughts out of his head, he can't trust anyone, the last time he put his trust in someone they ended up selling him to medical research. They always want something; no one's nice to me just because. He kept on telling himself that yet he couldn't help but trust her.

"My name is Kagome." She smiled at him, a genuine smile that made him lose all of his thoughts.

" Uh…Inuyasha." He grunted; did he actually see himself being friends with her? He dismissed the thought, even if he wanted to be her friend it was impossible, she would never want to be his friend and besides she was probably just being nice.

He looked down at her hand and saw that she was still holding the sandwich. He reluctantly took the sandwich, and sniffed it. It didn't smell like it was poisoned and it smelled pretty good. He was very hungry because he hadn't eaten in two days, and even then it was a case of rotten oranges the grocery store had thrown out. He devoured the sandwich with three bites and blushed when he saw her staring at him. His stomach wasn't satisfied with the small sandwich, it grumbled which made Inuyasha blush. Kagome giggled, now Inuyasha was redder than a beet.

" Well, since you're still hungry and I haven't eaten yet how about you come to my house for lunch?" A raindrop landed on Inuyasha's nose making him sneeze. Why is she being so nice to me? Inuyasha was getting suspicious but he was hungry and it was better than staying in his tiny shelter made from boxes and crates that he called home. He agreed and followed her down the street toward the small house.

" You know, I could be a rapist for all you know." Kagome laughed at that but she looked up and saw that he was serious. She thought it was cute how he was still trying to protect her, but now she thought it was time for her to return the favor.

" Perhaps, but I'm just going to pretend I'm a naïve, innocent girl who just invited her newly made friend to lunch." She turned the key to the large oak door and signaled him to follow her.

" Don't pretend, you are naive and innocent." And cute too, he smiled inwardly before following her, she was lucky that he wasn't dangerous he thought to himself before entering the house, the first one he had been in ever since his mother died.

Kagome thought about what he said and bit her lip, now that she thought about it she didn't know if it was such a great idea to bring him to an empty house with no one but him and her. She should've opted for a restaurant instead. She smiled as she saw him inspecting her house with an amazed look; something told her that she could trust him.
