Heyo all! Ya know, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy! I have so many reviewers! Ok, its only 23 but I'm happy! Ok, I'm listening to 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' by.. Someone.. I don't know who its by, but that isn't the point. The point IS that the song is sappy, and I'm getting in a sappy mood. Ok, that will change soon because the next song is 'you spin me right round' (great song, I love it) but that isn't the point either. Actually I don't know what the point IS, so I'm just gonna shut up and let you read. I give much thanks to all who reviewed! And happy thanksgiving (its 2 days from now)

Chapter 5- And Inu Yasha saves the day again

"So who was that guy?" Hojo asked the silent Kagome.

"Just some jerk." She replied, still heartbroken.

"Was he the one that saved you from the gang earlier this week?"

Kagome whipped her head around. "How did you know about that?" She asked skeptically.

"Oh, umm, I found out from one of the girls at school.. Yea.." He stuttered, getting a little nervous.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Can you let me out here?" She asked.

"Here? This is the middle of nowhere, Kagome." He said, not stopping the car.

" 'Middle of nowhere'? We're in the city. This is somewhere. Now can I please get out?" Kagome started to get a little nervous.

"No. I'm taking you home."

"But I'm not going home, I'm going.. Shopping!" she had thought up the shopping thing on the spot, but it was a good reason. "And the mall is close, so I want to get out."

"No. I said I was taking you home."

Now Kagome was downright scared. Not only would he NOT let her out of the car, but also she had just noticed a faint bruise on his left cheek, and a broken finger. It was like he had gotten in a fight.. and judging by the faintness of the bruise, it had happened about.. a week ago.

"Hojo.. please let me out!"

"Damn it girl! I said I was taking you home!" He replied angrily.

"No you're not! We're way past my house!"

Her eyes widened in fear as Hojo laughed manically.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After standing there for a couple minutes Inu Yasha began to feel jealousy. 'Who was that guy? How did he know Kagome? Why did she get in his car?' A million and one questions popped into his mind. One thing was clear: he didn't like the guy in the car. So, being his stupid self, Inu Yasha decided to follow.

Inu Yasha ran as fast as his little demon feet could take him, going at speeds no normal human being could reach. He followed Kagome's sweet scent, and finally caught up with the car. He didn't want Kagome to see him, so he leapt into the air, and flew above the car.

Looking down, he saw the car swerve a little, and the passenger-side door open. Kagome tried to jump out of the moving vehicle, but an arm reached out and grabbed her. She screamed. Inu Yasha let out a growl, and descended on the car below him.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome decided to jump for it. She took her seatbelt off, and opened the door. Just as she was about to jump, the seemingly insane Hojo grabbed her arm and dragged her back in. She screamed.

'This is it.' She thought. 'I'm going to be raped. I know it. This time there is no Inu Yasha..' She couldn't complete the thought. Something hit the roof of the car. Hojo cursed about how 'nothing had better be damaged or I'm going to hurt someone.' Kagome had a feeling that the person going to be hurt would be herself.

Hojo yelled "Aha!" and turned into an ally. He got out, pulling Kagome through the car, and out his side. Still latched onto her arm, Hojo yelled at the man on the roof of the car. "What the hell are you doing up there? Get off my damn car!"

"INU YASHA!" Kagome screamed, recognizing the silvery hair that could only belong to him (or Sesshoumaru, but she doubted it was him.)

Inu Yasha jumped down and walked over to Kagome. "Are you ok?" He asked her. Without waiting for a reply, he turned to Hojo. "I see you still have one of the bruises I gave you, bastard."

"You.. gave.. me?" Hojo stuttered.

"Do you want some more? If not then I suggest you let go of the girl, and run. Fast." Inu Yasha cracked his knuckles threateningly. Hojo took the advice and jumped into his car.

"I'll get you for this!" He shouted before speeding out of the alleyway.

"Kagome." Inu Yasha whispered, turning to her.

"Don't you 'Kagome' me, jerk! I'm still not talking to you!" She turned and started walking away.

"WHAT THE HELL?! I JUST SAVED YOUR FUCKING LIFE!" he screamed at the girls back.

"That doesn't make up for what you did."

"WHAT I DID?!"

"Yes, what you did. And you can stop screaming now, its not doing any good, you know."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Inu Yasha stood there for a couple minutes, trying to get his anger under control. 'Little bitch' he thought. 'I just saved her damn life! What gratitude!' he smashed his fist into the brick wall next to him.

"Try to control your temper." Kikyo said from behind him.

"ACK! What the hell?! Why does everyone keep popping up from behind?! This is so messed up."

Kikyo walked up to the half demon, and put her arms around his neck. "Come on, lets go to my place, Sesshoumaru is no fun anymore. All he cares about is his work."

Inu Yasha thought for a while. Apparently this thing with Kagome was over. He sighed. "Not now, Kikyo." He leapt into the air, and flew back to his apartment.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome stopped walking once she was around the corner. She had heard Kikyo's voice. Peeking around the corner she saw the little slut put her arms around Inu Yasha. Kagome's heart filled with anger. 'Don't go with her, Inu Yasha' she thought to herself.

"Not now, Kikyo." He said, and flew off.

'Not now, Kikyo'? What was that supposed to mean? Did that mean that he wanted to go to her place sometime later? 'Why should I care?' Kagome hailed a taxi and went home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I HATE KIKYO!!!! (hides from all the Kikyo fans) ah well, just another idea. I mean, he HAD to save her again, right? Right. Ah, well, tell me how you liked it. And next time.. Well I dunno what's happening next time. So stay tuned. If I get even more reviews, I'll make many many more chapters ^_^ Oh, and sorry if this chapter got a little weird.. I was just in a weird mood. Till next time!
