Kagome walked downstairs after showering and changing. She was wearing something fairly casual, since she wasn't really counting on going anywhere nice anytime soon. Her outfit merely consisted of blue jeans and an orange tee. While wrapping her dark raven colored hair in a ponytail, her mom greeted her from the kitchen.
"Ready to go, Kagome?"
The young girl nodded and they walked to the car, silently. Mrs. Higurashi broke the stillness.
"Are you ready to meet your bodyguard?" she asked as they entered the car. Kagome weakly bobbed her head up and down, indicating that she was ready. But in reality, she really wasn't. She wasn't ready to meet somebody who would follow her around constantly, but she needed to be ready. She knew that she needed this person to protect her more than anything, to help push away the fear of getting kidnapped. She hadn't gone to school ever since the kidnapping. The teachers insisted, so she decided to take the offer. She shut her eyes tightly and prepared herself.
Her mother sighed and began driving towards the police station. As soon as they arrived, Kagome was having second thoughts.
"What if he's not trustworthy, and ends up kidnapping me? Or what if he's actually a pervert?" she looked up at her mom with wide eyes.
Mrs. Higurashi giggled, wrapping an arm around her daughter's shoulders and pulling her close. "Don't worry. I'm sure they picked out a nice young man to take care of you. I'm sure he'll protect you and not let anything bad happen. That's what he's there for, right?"
"But. . What if—"
"Kagome. The police department wouldn't hire somebody that they didn't trust, would they? I'm sure they had to at least work here a lot in order to gain trust from the men in uniform."
Seemingly satisfied with her explanation, mother lead daughter into the station. A young man greeted them from behind a glass screen. Kagome's mom spoke into the little speakerbox next to the screen while Kagome walked around like a lost lamb.
"Please, come with me." The man pushed a button which opened a door to the right. Kagome and her mom stepped in.
"Hey, Inuyasha, are you ready for today?" a group of men were sitting in a locker room in a circle, talking to each other. The one named 'Inuyasha' turned to look at the man who spoke to him.
"Yeah, I guess. Whatever. I've gone through this before, I can make it again."
"Again? You couldn't even do your job right the last time. It's a wonder the chief's giving you another chance."
Inuyasha rolled his amber eyes and raked a clawed hand through his long silver hair. He was a demon. A half-demon, or hanyou, to be exact. It's amazing that there are still demons here in the 21st century. "That time I made a mistake. It won't happen again."
"You let Kikyo get kidnapped again and held for ransom. How, though? You're a demon. Couldn't you track her down with that nose of yours?" the man who was talking to him tweaked his nose and Inuyasha scowled.
"Half-demon."
Amber eyes locked dangerously with azure ones. Inuyasha stood up and growled, the dog-like ears on top of his head twitching.
"Stupid half-breed. I don't see why the chief even hired you in the first place. You're just a low-life—"
Naki, the man who was speaking with Inuyasha before, stood up and situated himself in front of the one with the blue eyes. "Knock it, off Kouga! You don't want to start another fight again! One more riot and you'll be kicked off the team."
Inuyasha sneered and a buzzer rang throughout the room. A police officer and two ladies followed him. One looked a bit older, and the other looked a lot like. .
"Kikyo?" Inuyasha half whispered. His eyes grew as big as basketballs as he stared at the young female standing next to the officer. Everybody turned to look, because she did in fact, look like the lady Inuyasha was hired to protect three years ago.
She blinked and looked at Inuyasha. Her eyes also grew, for she had never seen a demon in real life.
"No, Inuyasha. Her name is Kagome. She's the one you are to protect until they catch the person who kidnapped her."
The hanyou's shoulders slumped, but he quickly regained his posture. "Keh."
The police officer leaned down and brought his voice to a quiet whisper. "You'll have to excuse him. Sometimes he can be a bit moody, but he's a pretty nice all-around guy. It'll take a while to get used to him."
Inuyasha glared bullets into the police officer and cleared his throat, "I heard that!"
"I'm going to have a demon taking care of me?" she gulped, but in a way she was relieved. Her mom had told her that they began to hire demons to guard the innocent because the normal humans had either gotten killed, or couldn't keep up with all the crazy things happening to some of these people.
"Actually, he's a half-demon." The officer corrected.
Mrs. Higurashi walked in front of Kagome and looked Inuyasha up and down. "I guess he'll do. He looks strong enough." She blinked and poked his arms and Inuyasha stared angrily in front of himself, trying to contain his anger.
"I really dislike being touched."
Mrs. Higurashi frowned and stood in front of the half-demon. She shrugged in defeat. "Do you want this man to take care of you, Kagome?"
Kagome let out a little squeak and looked Inuyasha in the eyes. She seemed to be mesmerized by his stare, and the beautiful color of his eyes. She almost turned green with envy when she realized that her eyes weren't as vibrant as his.
"Sure." She answered, feeling a lot smaller than everybody in there. Out of all the people standing in that room, she was by far the littlest. They were all demons or half demons, no doubt. She could tell by the way she looked. One guy had sparkling blue eyes, a bushy tail, and his hair was done up in a ponytail, similar to hers.
"Alright then. Let me introduce you to each other. Kagome, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha, this is Kagome. Inuyasha, the chief told me to tell you that if you mess up again, he'll fire you and ban you from ever being a bodyguard again. Don't screw up this time; you're an asset to this team."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes but nodded anyway, and Kagome raised a hand. Everyone turned to look at her and she felt that small-feeling again.
"Um. . Mess up again?"
The officer smacked himself in the forehead and shook his head quickly. "It's alright, you don't need to know about it." He gave Inuyasha a hard stare before leading them out into the police lobby.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled, bowed, and said thank you to the officer before leading Kagome and Inuyasha to the car.
"Why don't you two sit in the back and get to know each other?"
Kagome nodded and Inuyasha just followed.
"So. . You're the one who's going to be watching out for me for the next few. . Err. ."
"Months?" he snorted, buckling his seatbelt.
"Well. . Won't they find the guy soon?"
"Keh. It'll probably take them a couple of months at the least. Did you see the guy's face?"
"Who, the one who captured me?"
"Duh."
Kagome sighed. "No. . He had a hood on. But his hair was wavy and black, and his hands were pale. When he confronted me, though, I could see his eyes because he was wearing some sort of mask. His eyes were a strange blood-red color, which kinda frightened me. ."
It sounded too familiar. Could it just be a coincidence? Inuyasha's fist clenched involuntarily as he thought of the incident that happened three years ago. Three whole years. . They should have found him by now, at least, but no. He was still out there. He visibly twitched, thinking about how it could just be a twist of fate.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay? Hello?" she poked his forehead and he scowled, a growl starting in the back of his throat. She withdrew her hand quickly.
"Sorry, sorry. I forgot you don't like to be touched."
He shook his head, dismissing the subject.
"So. . Mama says we have to get to know each other. How old are you? What's your favorite color? How long have you been protecting people?"
The questions went on and on and on and Inuyasha's head almost spun with all quick talking. It was going to be a long next couple of months.A/N: Sooo, what'd you think? Feel free to tell me in your reviews! :3 I hope you all don't think it's too confusing or anything. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to ask/tell me! I tried to make this one longer. Did it work? xx
