*Disclaimer - do i own them? is the Pope Jewish?*

*Discrimination - 2*

Kagome shrieked as she felt an icy grip clench onto her wrist, yanking her toward the brick wall of an abandoned shop. She could feel the protruding bricks throught the fabric of her school outfit, scraping at her back.

"NO! Stop it! Let me go!" Kagome struggled violently against his strong grip that was holding her arms above her head. Her foot caught on one of the crumbled bricks laying on the ground, causing her feet to slip from under her. With no support under her, she slumped a little, the wall cutting into her back.

"Heh heh. Now where do you think you're going, girly?" The man's rough hands gripped a little tighter. His toothy grin sent shivers down Kagome's back, and his shining, lustful eyes did nothing to calm her fears. Her own eyes widened in fear at the thought of the things to come. "That's right, girly, you know what's gonna heppenen. Now be good, and don't scream..."

"LIKE HELL I AM! HELP!" Kagome gave one more last ditch effort before losing all her energy. Her last bits of hope quickly dissapated when the man clamped a hand over her mouth.

"Did you forget what I just told you girl?" the man snarled, "I told you to not yell!" He removed his hand to slap her across the face.*Great. Just great. My day has gone from bad to worse to the embodiment of hell. I have tons of homework, no car, and I'm about to get raped. It can't get any worse!*

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

*It got worse. HE has friends?!*

"Hm?" Both Kagome and the man glanced over to where the voice had come from. Suprisingly enough, it was on top of a building! How exactly did someone get on top of a building? The newcomer looked about her age, yet had long silver hair. (AN: i know, predictable) She couldn't distinguish much else in the darkness. To her astonishment, the boy leaped from atop the building. Kagome started to yell at him for being stupid, but she remembered he might be bad also, and he landed gracefully on the ground.

"I said, what do you think you're doing?" Even in the dark, Kagome could see his eyes level a rather menacing glare at her attacker.

"Why the hell should I tell you?!" The man quickly came to his senses and spat at the intruder.

"Well, I just might want to know WHY I killed someone tonight. BUT. If you don't want to talk, then there's less time I have to waste." Kagome nearly fainted as the words. He's going to save her? Thank God. (or Buddah) She didn't have time to blink before the boy leaped forward and sliced the man in two. But she blinked after. A lot.

"Keh. You alright?" The boy took a step closer to check, seeing as she hadn't even lowered her arms yet. Kagome lowered her arms and turned to look at him and nodded her head, despite the fact her hands were still shaking.

"Yeah...I'm fine now. Thank you." Kagome wrung her hands nervously. What exactly do you say to someone who just saved you from being raped? She turned to look at him again an then did a double take. His ears were on the top of his head! Doggy ears in fact. That could only mean..."Ack! Demon!" She frantically tried to run, but the, the DEMON was blocking the end of the alley.

"Hey, wench! I just saved your life!" The DEMON glared at her. With his golden yellow eyes. Yellow!

"Ahh! Don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me! Just let me go!" Kagome took to staying as far away as possible, as she couldn't escape at the moment.

"Would you just shut up for a minute?!" The DEMON grabbed her wrist, much like the now dead man had done earlier. Not wanting to get hurt, she shut her mouth. "I'm NOT going to kill you, or hurt you. I just saved you, remember? Now calm down!"

To be quite honest, Kagome was confused. All her parents had ever told her was that demons were violent killing creatures. But this didn't want to hurt her. "Um. Sorry. I just...uh...was told that...uh..."

"That demons are violent, disgusting, filthy creatures and that you should stay away from them, right? I know, I've heard it all..." Kagome felt a little bit, mind you a LITTLE bit, of sympathy for the demon, especially when his ears drooped.

"I'm sorry. Uh...what's your name?" *Do demons even have names?*

"Inuyasha."











Oooooh cliffhanger! I'm sorry! I can't help myself! I know this is rated as Romance and Drama, but there will be humor!
