For the record, I don't own Inuyasha nor the characters. So don't sue me, I have no money.

Kagome silently stood up as she dropped the rest of the ropes that held her. Luckily, the rock was sharp enough so she could cut the ropes and free herself. Now the next problem was getting her bag. Kirara was sleeping on it, and if Kagome even tried to push her off of it, she would start growling and cause Inuyasha to wake up and probably stay awake this time to watch her. Slowly, she walked over to the bag and kept her eyes on Kirara the whole time.
Inuyasha wasn't stupid. His ears twitched as he picked up the sounds of her movements. He'd let her walk around like this and have her own way, he didn't care. After all, she was only a human. He just smiled to himself and thought of the fun he'd have when he chased her down.
Kirara jumped off the bag and up onto Kagome's shoulder. Kagome bent down and scooped her bag in her hands. She tip-toed beside Inuyasha, holding her breath. **I'll just give her a head-start.**
Kagome turned around and bashed her heavy bag onto the back of Inuyasha's head, causing him to fall over unconcious. She then took off with Kirara at her side.
"Kirara, take me to Sango!" Kirara jumped up and turned into the fire-breathing cat demon she was. She lowered herself so Kagome could get on her back and then she took off. Kagome held onto Kirara's fur as she looked back to see if Inuyasha was following her. She sighed in relief as she found that he wasn't. Kirara turned east and then went off in that direction, moving farther from the cave.
~~~
Inuyasha regained conciousness and groaned as he rubbed the back of his head. He blinked a few times and sat up, trying to remember what all happened. **Okay, that girl got up, walked behind me--** "That bitch!" He growled as he stepped outside of the cave. His dog-like ears pointed upwards as he tried to hear any sounds of her or Kirara. He sighed in anger and then began to sniff the air.
"Aha! It's faint, but I can pick up the direction those two went!" He jumped up and began to run through the forest at top speed, jumping onto the branches and everything. **That girl is my ticket to becoming full demon and I will not let this chance slip away!**
~~~
Kirara touched down infront of a small wood cabin. Kagome jumped off her back and carried her back with her as she ran up the steps to the door. She knocked a few times. The door opened and a pair of brown eyes looked up at her.
"Kagome-chan?"
"Sango-chan! You have to help me!"
Sango blinked at her cousin and then she looked behind her to see a huge cat-demon. A smile crossed her lips as she ran from the door and to the cat. Kirara turned back into her smaller size and squeaked as she saw her owner coming to her.
"Kirara!" Sango said happily as she cuddled her. Kagome released an annoyed sigh.
"Sango-chan! I really really need your help!"
Sango turned to look at her cousin and walked back to her with Kirara in her arms.
"Okay, okay, come on let's go inside and you can tell me."
They walked inside the small cabin and Kagome closed and locked the door. Kirara jumped from Sango's arms and ran to her water bowl to drink some and then to her basket of pillows to sleep.
"She seems pretty tired." Sango said as she poured her and Kagome a cup of coffee. She set the cup down infront of Kagome and then took her seat on the opposite side of the table.
"Aren't you tired? I mean, I know it's nightfall, but I don't know what time it is."
"Ah, I'm fine." Sango said with a warm smile.
The two sat in silence and Kagome looked around the place. Weapons and amor--typical of that of a demon slayer. Beside the couch, there was a picture frame. The picture was of Sango, Kohaku, and their father. Their mother had died while giving birth to Kohaku, so they depended on their father. He trained them both to be demon slayers, but Kohaku was too pure. Sango became even better than her father. One day, Sango had to go kill a demon that threatened to attack the city so she left her brother and father behind. When she returned, the demon had killed both her father and Kohaku. The only thing she knows about their deaths was that is was done by a demon who had long, white hair, and some fluffy thing around him. She vowed to become stronger one day, and get revenge for her family.
"So... why are you all the way out here?" Sango asked as she put her cup down.
"Well, things have gotten way worse at home. Dad's gone nuts, all he does is drink and party. He even sometimes hits me." She pointed to the faint bruise on her cheek. "The reason I'm out here was to find Mom and explain to her about the situation, and get Souta out of there..." She stared into her cup, at her sad reflection on the coffee's black surface.
"But, you came saying that you needed my help... why?"
"There's this demon after me. It's how I found Kirara. She was with him. His name is--"
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome blinked surprisedly and nodded. "Yes, how did you know?"
"That stupid half-breed is trying to become full human by killing a human. But, he tried that. Instead, he fell in love with that girl, but she ended up being killed and not by him. He's become a lot more softer since she died, and each time he tries to kill someone, he can't do it." Sango blinked a few times and studied Kagome's face. "And I know he won't kill you. You kind of look like his lover."
Kagome blinked a few times again. "Ew! I don't wanna remind some damn half-breed--Wait, half-breed? What?"
"His father was the great dog demon of the western lands. His eldest son is now the ruler of that place, and Inuyasha was banned because he has a human mother. His father was killed while trying to protect his mother, and then she died as well. Ever since then, he was alone, ever since he was little. And then what I just told you takes place."
Kagome looked down again. Being alone was something she knew all too well.
"Kagome-chan, you look sad. Are you pittying him?"
"No way! No way in hell would I ever feel sympathy for a damn demon who's trying to kill me! I was just thinking of what you said, about him being alone, that's all. But why did he take Kirara?"
"I don't know... I'm still trying to figure that out. But, he took care of her, obviously, so I won't kill him for it."
~~~
Inuyasha finally landed infront of the cabin where the scent led to. His golden eyes rested on the door. **Feh, I could break that down in two seconds flat...** "Alright, you stupid girl! Get your ass out here!"
Kagome almost choked on her coffee as she heard the familiar voice.
"Fuck, he found me?!"
"Kagome-chan, I said that his dad was the great dog demon! Dogs do have good noses for picking up scents!"
Kagome sighed annoyedly and looked around. Kirara was already at the door, ready to bust it down and start breathing fire at Inuyasha. Sango ran into another room and put on her armor. She came back out a few minutes later with her poison mask on, her poison powder in a pouch by her waist, and her katana on the other side of her waist. She walked over to a closet and pulled out her huge boomerang. She turned around looked at Kagome.
"Kagome-chan, stay in here. Kirara and I will handle this."
Kagome and nodded and watched as Kirara went back to her huge form and Sango run outside. Kagome jumped infront of the window and watched as Sango and Inuyasha stared at each other, both waiting for the other to start the fight.
~~~
Cliffhanger. Ahh, aren't I just so loving? =3 Hehe, anyways, I'm sorry that I finally have this up now. I'll start working on chapter 4 in an hour or so to make up for the time I lost. Thanks for the reviews! Bye for now!
