Warning: This fiction is a big departure from my usual works. It is very graphic and dark, containing violence, unpleasant sexual situations, and drug use. Kagome will be very out of character, because that is what drug addiction does to a person, it changes them into something horrible and ugly.

-Prologue
-
Kagome felt the wind rushing through her hair, Shippo and the others were back at the village and for once it was just her and InuYasha, just like it had been in the beginning. As much as she loved the others, she treasured these private moments with InuYasha. When they were alone he let his guard down and showed her his sweet and caring side, the side that would abruptly stop and pull her into his lap to watch the sunset as he had just a little bit ago just as they began their journey back to the village from visiting Jenenji.
He had looked at her with so much softness and what she hoped was love, he had been doing that a lot since the night he had almost kissed her in her room, before Sota and her family came home and ruined everything. In fact he had looked like he had wanted to kiss her again just then...
Kagome was startled by a sharp slap across the face, she wiped away the blood that ran down her chin with a badly shaking hand. Pissed off at herself for almost losing her skin pop. She needed it bad. He waved the already filled pop in front of her face, taunting her.
"Hey cunt, no fuckin sleeping when ya spose be suckin ."
He grabbed her hair and jerked her face back to his penis. Kagome opened her mouth and slid him back into her mouth, refusing to let her mind wander this time. What was the point anyway, that girl felt things, hurt too easy. That stupid bitch was a killer.
Kagome shut her mind off and moaned, pretending to be turned on by the pig standing over her jerking on her hair. That girl never would have done the things she did, lucky for her that sorry bitch was dead.
Good riddance and rest in peace, stupid bitch.

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
InuYasha walked the midnight streets of Tokyo trying to catch a scent to Kagome's whereabouts. He knew he had to be getting close, the scent of the poison on that needle Kagome's mother had shown him was on many of the people he was passing. These people looked sick, dirty. The air reeked of unwashed bodies and embedded filth, horrible despicable sex smells like came out of the worst of the whore houses, the kind that even Miroku looked at with disgust.
Once, InuYasha had asked him why and Miroku had told him those were places where deranged men went who liked to torture the flesh of women and cause them pain and suffering...the kind who got pleasure from destroying their beauty instead of cherishing and treasuring it as a man should.
InuYasha thought he smelt something familiar in an alley and stepped into it, then backed out just as quickly when he saw a woman on her knees in front of a man performing oral sex.
InuYasha wanted to throw up at the sight of the dirty woman on her knees. He thought that after two years chasing Naraku there was nothing left of the ugliness of life that he hadn't seen. He had seen friends torn open, seen the woman he had once loved attempt to kill him under Naraku's deception. InuYasha had seen Miroku bleeding from every opening on his face from Naraku's shouki and had held Kikyo when her false body exploded in his arms. Still all of those things paled in comparison to these people. The things these people were doing were deplorable.
And his Kagome was somewhere among them.
It was unimaginable.
He stopped suddenly, a very familiar and beloved scent assaulted his senses and he whirled around, backtracking.
Kagome's blood scent was in the air. It lacked the sweet innocence it once held, now carrying heavy traces of the poison it carried, but it was Kagome just the same...
...And it came from the same alleyway he had just turned out of.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
InuYasha stood frozen to the spot. His soul shattered into pieces and were ground into a fine powder, making InuYasha only the next in the list of the victims to fall to the claws of the black dragon. His heart spoke before his mind.
...that woman on her knees
kami...no...it can't be...there has to be some mistake
You have eyes InuYasha...you can smell her
Kagome...but she...she...
Shes sucking that bastard's cock!
Maybe your wrong...maybe they just smell alike or...
"Hey prick...go get your own blowjob."
The woman didn't stop.
"What are you queer or something? You wanna suck me off too?"
The man shoved the woman away and she fell onto her side and curled up, shaking. InuYasha continued to ignore the man and moved toward to woman.
"Hey, I'm talking to you asshole." He pulled out a knife and waved it at InuYasha, that got his attention, enough to snap InuYasha out of his shock enough to reply.
"What the fuck you gonna do with that bastard? Trim my toe nails?" InuYasha ground out with a growl, noticing that the woman was trying to get to her feet. The man shoved her roughly down again.
"We ain't done cunt, stay on your knees where you belong."
"Okay" She whimpered "But can I have my..."
Kagome's voice!
"Shut the fuck up you stupid cunt!" She was hit with a fist and her head snapped back and hit the wall next to her roughly and she crumpled to the ground and curled into a ball.
The man turned around just in time to catch the glimmer of red flash in InuYasha's eyes before his claws reached out and ripped into his throat and he was dropped, dead long before he hit the ground.
"Kagome..." InuYasha called out to her, his arms opened to her, his heart and eyes pleading with her to come to him, to come with him.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
Kagome lifted her eyes to where the mans booted feet lay still on the ground.
'Somebody...fuck...someone killed Gineo! Who would do this... shit!...who will I deal with now god damn it!'
Her eyes moved up to the pockets on his cargo pants
'If I hurry, before the police come...I can...'
"Kagome..." InuYasha called out to her, his arms opened to her, his heart and eyes pleading with her to come to him, to come with him.
No, she had to be seeing things...InuYasha was kneeling beside her. What the hell was he doing there?
"Kagome...I came to bring you home."
'FUCK HOME...over my dead fucking body'
"InuYasha!" Kagome threw herself into his arms
InuYasha sighed and relaxed against her, pulling her to her feet.
"Your okay now Kagome, I'm going to get you better."
"Oh InuYasha. Thank Kami you came...I was so scared...he was hurting me. I thought he was going to kill me...They've made me do things...I didn't want to."
Kagome carefully reached into her back pocket.
"I know. It's okay Kagome. I'm here now. I'll take care of..."
InuYasha gasped as cold sharp steel was thrust into his ribs, pulled out, then thrust in again, then repeated five more times in quick succession. He staggered backwards against the other side of the alley and slumped against the wall and slid to the ground.
"Kagome..."
He looked up to find her digging through the pockets of the man he had just killed. She put some money and a baggie of yellowish powder into a pocket. Finally, she pulled out a needle like the one her mother had shown him then jerked her belt out of the loops, wrapped it around her arm and shot the contents of the needle into her arm.
She stood to run out of the alley way then turned and glared at InuYasha.
"Thanks a lot bastard, now I have to find a new dealer. Come near me again motherfucker and I'll gut you."
When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
Feed your head. Feed your head.

Notes: This was meant to be part of a longer chapter but something just felt right with the way it came together to end it where I did, and the song "White Rabbit" just naturally came into my mind for InuYasha's first attempt to "rescue" Kagome. I knew the first time he would be stubborn and refuse to think he needed help, and I wanted to make it bad enough that he REALLY got the point. I think getting stabbed 7 times in the gut and watching Kagome pop after she totally conned him and robbed a dead drug dealer, not even caring that InuYasha just wasted the guy, should get the point across, eh?
Besides, with how truly amazingly wonderful you guys have been with the support and reviews I wanted to get an update up to you all. Sorry, I know this is a bit of a quickie, and not as good as the first which I worked months on. For those youngsters out there who don't know, the song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane is a classic song about drugs, obviously hallucinogenic drugs like LSD and mushrooms. Remember, I am NOT glorifying drug use with this story! Drugs are ...well, I can't even say how bad drugs are. Just stay off the shit boys and girls okay?
Finally, as parts of this story take place on the street I am using street language. Skin popping, or popping, is another term for shooting up. I mean absolutely NO DISRESPECT in my use of the term queer! I am trying to be realistic. Lets be real, some guy interupts another guy in the process of getting a blowjob he's not going to nicely say, "Are of same sex prefrerenced? " No, he's gonna say "Are you queer" I am so not a homophobe.
-Please don't flame me okay? Be nice!
