It was a normal day of school for Kagome Higurashi. Well, as normal as it could get anymore. After a night of begging, pleading, threatening, and then finally sitting, Kagome had been able to come back home. She had promised Inuyasha to be back as soon as school let out the next day, since she was only coming back for a test. He hadn't been able to argue with that, the main reason being his face was still planted in the dirt when she had told him...

Now she was on her way back home, and in a good mood due to the fact that she had actually done pretty well on the test. She wasn't even the slightest bit upset that her three friends; Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri, had insisted on walking her home. After all, the didn't want her having another feinting spell while walking home.

A perfectly good day, without problems, and without anything getting out of hand.

Yeah right. Nothing ever went like that for Kagome.

"So, Kagome, how have you been keeping up lately?" Eri asked as they walked along.

"Yeah, you've been gone an awfully long time. Your rheumatism must be getting worse." Yuka added.

Aymui nodded. "Not to mention your disentemper. Though... I thought that was a dog illness..."

Great. Looks like Gramps ran out of diseases... "Oh, I'm fine, really. Don't worry about it." Kagome insisted with a smile, waving it off. "I'll be okay."

"Well, if that's so, then there's no need to get hung up over it." Eri said enthusiastically. "Let's talk about something else."
"Yeah," Yuka helped. "Like that two-timing boyfriend of yours. Have you dumped him yet?"

"Well... not exactly..." Kagome bit her lip and looked at the pavement. "He's actually been pretty nice to me lately. I don't see why I should dumb him... I mean, it's not like he's a bad guy-"
"Not a bad guy! He tried to kill the last guy that approached you! I'm telling you, you had better lose him now or you're going to be sucked up into all kinds of trouble."

"Uh-huh! You can't stay with him, Kagome. Don't let him think he owns you."

"Well..."

Whatever Kagome had been about to say was cut off by the sound of squealing tires. The four girls turned and watched as a black van came shooting around the corner, heading towards them. The girls froze, watching the car. It was going pretty fast, but they where on the sidewalk and not likely to be hit. Still, Kagome backed up a step, knowing Inuyasha would never let her come back to her era ever again if she got hit by a car.

When the van suddenly stopped besides the girls, Kagome wasted not time in trying to figure out what was going on. Her instincts had been upped a notch from walking into so many traps and battles, so she had learned to listen to them. Right then they were screaming at her to get out of there.

"Run!" She took off in a bolt, shortly followed by the three friends, but at the same moment they took off four three huge men jumped out of the van and came after them.

Seeing immediately that they were all in danger, Kagome quickly yanked the red tie of her uniform off and threw it on the ground. If anything happened to her eventually Inuyasha would come looking for his precocious jewel detector, and could trace her scent if easier if she left something to track with.

Her hunch turned out to be right as the men overcame them.

First Yuka was grabbed and yanked back, the man who had captured her quickly tying her wrists and then just holding her with one hand, even as she struggled and yelled. Next Ayumi was yanked back by a man, and thrown to the one who held Yuka; then she was tied up too. After that a guy caught up to Yuka, and he easily grabbed her and bound her wrists.

Kagome, able to run much faster than the other girls thanks to her time spent in the feudal era, lasted the longest. Eventually, though, she was also caught. She struggled about, almost getting free when she jabbed her elbow into the man's groin, but even she was eventually tied up and thrown into the back of the van.

Each girl was gagged, and then herded into the corner of the vehicle as the driver sped off with them.

Kagome's friends where all crying, but Kagome kept a stiff jaw and glared daggers at the man who watched them. She had managed to wriggle her way in front of her friends, somehow feeling like she had to protect them as best as she could. She had to stay strong for them, as least until help came.

Her ankles were tied, her writs bound behind her back, and she was gagged with a white bandana. Even so, the man in the back shrank under her glare of absolute furry. It was as if her eyes were screaming when I get out of these robes, buddy, you are going to get your ass handed to you.

As silly as it was, because she was a high school girl for crying out loud, it was still a little unnerving to see someone so calm in the situation she was in.

When they came to a stop each girl was roughly removed from the van and marched down into the basement of an old warehouse out in the middle of a run-down neighborhood.

When the girls were harshly shoved into a small room with no window and locked in Kagome started easing out of her restraints. She was able to untie the knot keeping her hands tied, and after that yanked the gag off of her mouth.

"Hold on guys." She said to her friends, who were all whimpering in fear. Kagome quickly untied her ankles, and then went to each girl and untied their hands.

Ayumi worked her gag off first. "We're dead!" She cried. "We're going to die!"

"I'm too young to be killed!" Eri whimpered.

"What if they aren't going to kill us?" Yuka whispered in horror. "What if... what if they're going to-"

"Enough." Kagome said, icy calm. She stood and leaned back against the wall. "Nothing is going to happen to us. We'll be fine."
"How can you say that?" Eri cried. "How do you know-"
"Help will be here soon. Don't worry- we'll be out of here by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"What do you mean?" Yuka asked, staring at Kagome through her tears.

"I mean what I said." Kagome said, crossing her arms. Then she sighed. "But... you three are going to have to promise to keep a promise."

"We're going to die anyway." Eri said bitterly. "Might as well spill your secrets now if you have any."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "We'll be fine." She said nonchalantly. "Now promise."

The three looked at each other uncertainty, but all said, "We promise."

Kagome nodded, and then looked over at her fragile human friends all huddled in the corner. "Well, you see, Inuyasha is going to come rescue us."

"Inuyasha?"
She nodded, and then blushed. "You all know him as the two-timing jerk."
"HIM?"
"Yes, him. Except.. well, he's not always a jerk. He's really protective, and kind, and he's sweet when he wants to be. But also... he's not... exactly... er..."
"Not exactly what?" Yuka asked, her tears lessening.

"He's not really... human, per say..."
Three voices all said, "Huh?"

"Well, um," she rubbed the back of her neck and nervously laughed. "He's a hanyou."

"A what?"

"A half-demon."
"Kagome..." Eri started sadly. "I think the stress has gotten to you..."

"Nobody believes in that old fairytale stuff. Youkai aren't real."

Kagome frowned. "Yeah, I know, you don't believe. But... when he busts the walls down and saves us please try not to freak out, okay?"

"Yep." Ayumi said sadly. "She's lost it."
Then all three girls started crying again.

Hurry up and come save us, Inuyasha. Kagome thought as she turned away from the trio. I really need you now.

So, after a couple requests, I decided it's time for the return of Inuyasha's demon side. Except this time in Kagome's era, and we're acting like the other time never even happened. And so, voila, I had some random fillers kidnap Kagome! Next chapter will mostly be in Inuyasha's POV- though it will still be told in third person. Thanks, and hope you like it. I love comments by the way... just so you know.
