Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha *sniff sniff* although, any made up characters I do own. Not that I would know if you used them.

Authors Note: Now, this is my attempt at romance. and humor. I might not be too good at writing. So R&R, let me know how I write. Oh, and by the way, I've only seen a couple episodes, and read a couple manga. I may not know all there is to know about Inu Yasha, but these people are meant to be a little OOC anyway. And you must realize, this story is coming from a dream I had so. if it gets confusing, don't blame me! Blame my weird imagination! Also, I'm on a sugar high right now (I shouldn't drink soda in the morning.)

Ch. 1: What a Way to Meet

Inu Yasha walked down the street, pondering deep thoughts. He was in a very bad mood, it was the new moon, and we all know what that means. Inu Yasha took his anger out on some loose stones on the ground, kicking the pebbles far off down the darkened, empty road.

"Let me go! Can't you take a hint you freak?! Let. me. go!"

Inu Yasha spun around; even in his human form, he was still powerful and agile. He peered into a side street to see a girl surrounded by men in black, and one of them, apparently the leader, had her roughly by the arm.

"Shut up, bitch." The leader said angrily, shoving the damsel-in-distress down to the ground. Around the two, the other gang members laughed.

'Oh boy, here we go.' Inu Yasha thought as he headed toward the scene. 'Why must I always save these foolish humans?'

Kagome had never been more scared in her life. There she was, walking down the street, and all the sudden six men jump out and grab her. She knew very well their intentions, and that was mostly the reason for her fear.

"I said get off loser!" She screamed, not knowing where that courage was coming from.

"And I said shut up whore!" Her attacker yelled back, shoving her down once more.

That's when a flying something came in and knocked the guy over. "What the." Kagome whispered as the. thing. went around kicking and punching the men in black. It was the weirdest thing Kagome had ever witnessed. In a minute it was over, and the lone man (Kagome had decided it was a man, despite the long hair) had won.

He turned around; his eyes widened in surprise, and then went back to their normal state. "Why didn't you just blast them, Kikyo?"

'Kikyo?' Kagome thought, but the man interrupted her thoughts.

"Well?" He asked impatiently.

"Who are you?" was all Kagome could get out.

"Who am I?" he asked incredulously. The he looked at his hair and blushed a little. "Oh, yea. you probably don't recognize me in this state."

"State?"

"Oh come on Kikyo, we all know what happens to half demons once a month."

"Half demons? Why do you keep calling me Kikyo? My name's Kagome, Ka-go- me."

He examined her face as she blushed furiously. "Oh, my mistake, you look so much like her." his voice trailed off. "Well, your OK now. Kagome." He turned around and walked off.

"Wait!" Kagome yelled and ran after him.

He turned, "what do you want?"

"I want to know what you meant by half demon."

"Its nothing, now leave me alone."

"No, tell me!"

"No."

"Yes."

He growled. "I'm a half demon, ok?"

"You don't look like a demon." That was not the answer Inu Yasha expected; he had expected the girl to scream, and run, or just laugh at him.

"I'm in human form right now." Was his reply.

"Why?"

"Do you always ask so many questions?"

"Yes."

He growled again. "It's the new moon."

"What does the moon have to do with anything?"

"WOULD YOU STOP ASKING QUESTIONS?"

"No."

*Sweatdrop*

"Just answer my questions! Oh, and what's your name?"

"Inu Yasha. On the full moon, I turn into a full human, all half demons have their 'time of the month'."

She giggled at the last part. "So what do you look like when you're a demon. half demon.?"

"I have white hair, not black. and dog ears."

"Dog ears? Hey, how do I know your telling the truth?"

"You don't."

Kagome stopped in the middle of the street, slightly taken aback by the harshness in his words. Inu Yasha just kept walking.

"Hey! Wait up!" She cried and ran up to him.

"What do you want now?" He asked, getting very annoyed.

"I just wanted to thank you. For saving me."

"Feh."

Ah, the end of chapter one.. sorry, its kinda short. ugh gotta go eat now.
