Kagome was terrified. All electricity in the house had gone out ever since the dog-boy had wreaked havoc in the cellar and "accidentally", as he called it, cut of a few cords that infused the house with light. Not only the light was gone; she couldn't even call the police or her mom.
So now she sat there by the basement door, at 20.30, in the darkness with a few candle lights, with her deceased little brother's baseball bat in her hands, waiting for her mother to come home.
"Oi," the boy voiced. He sounded really tired. Kagome hoped he had got some sort of shock from the cords. "Can you let me out? I was only kidding with you, that's all."
"Kidding?" she spat. "Listen, dog-boy, from around here we don't kid around with each other by chasing someone after said person just have woken up from whatever it had encountered. So for your record; no, I won't let you out until my mom comes home. Hopefully she's a good mother and immediately calls the police."
"Don't call me dog-boy, wench, I have a name you know."
"Oh? What a coincidence; so do I. 'Cause you see, I'm not really called wench or 'you'. My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me, learn it." 'Now,' she thought flustered, 'why did I tell the psycho my name?'
The boy made a huffing sound on the other side. "And mine isn't dog-boy, it's InuYasha."
She laughed sourly. "Well, the name suits you at least…"
The silence stretched between them. That kind of silence that felt so awkward that you finally can't take anymore.
"Why was you in my house, InuYasha?" she let her head rest on the wall behind her, but had the bat ready just in case. Whatever the boy was, he was definitely strong and a door did certainly not pose any bigger threat to him than a bumblebee did to her. A huge bumblebee, of course.
"I heard strange noises when I was searching for you from the park. Since your smell came from here I figured something happened and ran inside, finding you unconscious."
"Oh geez, thanks for telling me that I sm – Hold it! You smelled me? From the park?" she asked bewildered. "First of all, it's humanly impossible to actually track someone by smell. Secondly, I haven't met you in the park." Kagome paused, urging him silently to explain. When no such thing came she took a deep breath. "InuYasha, what the hell are you?"
