A/N I like this already.  I have never heard of an idea like this before so sorry if you've used it.  It's not very common though(duh if I haven't heard of it. . . ) I know it's stupid of me to go and write another story, but I'm going to work more on updating.   Anyways I think it's pretty good, but guess what, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I THINK. . . it matters what you think.  So read and review please.

Disclaimer:  I don't own any characters in here, but I do own the story line. . . I think

A Stranger Walks At Midnight        

            He ran.  That was all he could do, run.  He knew that if he didn't find a place to hide soon, they would catch him.  He could hear them not too far behind him.  His breathing was becoming rapid in his chest. 

            He looked around him wildly.  He had to be able to hide somewhere.  "Hurry up, Find him!!" 

            'Where can I hide' he thought, looking at the many houses along the side of the street.  He couldn't hide near here.  It would endanger the lives of these people.  It was no use though, they were too close.

            He rushed to the nearest house. bud-up. . .bud-up His heart went wild.  There was no way in!  'Oh Gods, they're so close'  His eyes caught a tiny glimmer off of something.  He immediately sprang four houses down.  'Perfect a window!' 

            He sprang to the second story window quietly, so as not to disturb whoever occupied it.  He let out a sigh of relief as he saw the occupant asleep.  He crouched behind the window and turned back around. 

            " WHERE IS HE!"  " We can't find him sir," he heard a voice quiver.  " We can't let him escape. He might tell, then what will we do?" said the voice of who appeared to be in charge.  "Sir, he might not even know," said another voice. . . . " Hum,  Maybe your right, I want this posted around the agency . . . I want him dead.  BUT I would like to handle that personally."   "Yes sir."  The group turned to retreat.  "I will find you. . . Inuyasha," the voice said coldly, sending shivers up his spine.

            A young hanyou turned back around.  He got up and walked over to the figure asleep on the bed.  He caught his breath. . . it was a girl.  She looked familiar, but he was sure he'd never seen her before.  It was strange.  She had an aora surrounding her,  as if she was giving off some sort of light.  It comforted him and lulled him to sleep.

            Kagome shifted in her sleep, rolling over on to her side.  Inuyasha awoke with a start.  The mornings first rays of sun were coming through the window.  Inuyasha bolted upright from his half- awake position on the ground.

            'Where am I!'  Inuyasha thought.  'Oh my God!' He thought.  The past nights events came swarming back to haunt him.

*FLASHBACK*

"Mamma, tell me the story again," Inuyasha asked.  "Okay honey," his mother replied.  She looked down at her little son.   He had heard this many times, yet it still intrigued him.

"Over 5 centuries ago, an old priestess  came upon a spell that would allow her to create a heir.  This woman had an important task. . . she was the keeper of a secret.  A secret that none else knew of.  When this priestess fell ill her whole village went into a deep state of depression.  The empire of their world, their actual beings would collapse if this secret was not held.  Of course the priestess would never tell, but if no one knew the secret, devastation would surround all.  So upon finding this spell she decided to create a new keeper of the secret, some one else who could be trusted, a younger version of her.  Though even the most perfect things have their flaws.  Who was to say that this girl would not die.  So in her best interest she made a protector.  This man was to be able to protect the young priestess where ever she went.  He would be there for her, to help her through her problems.  He would be virtually indestructible. . . he would be a demon."

            " What happened mamma?" asked the young Inuyasha.  She laughed.  No mater how many times her son heard this he never tired of it.  "Well the priestess used up the rest of her life energy in creating the young priestess and her protector.  After a while the two came upon a gir-"  his mother was cut off by a loud THUNK!

            "What was that?" asked Inuyasha getting a little restless.  . . . "SURPRISE!" some one screamed out as a man broke down Inuyasha's bedroom door.  "HUUH!  Inuyasha get behind me now!" his mother commanded.  "Mamma?  What's going on?"  he asked innocently.  His mother ignored him.  "What are you doing in my house?" his mother's voice cracked.  "Oh don't tell me you don't remember me," the intruder said to Inuyasha's mother.  "Oh I remember you fine . . . Naraku," his mother's voice was ice cold.  " We've come for the boy, if you could call him that." said the one named Naraku.  "You can't have him.  Taisho and I quit this business ages ago, for this very reason."  said his mother, firmly.  Inuyasha stood behind his mother deeply confused.  What business were they talking about, and were they talking about him?  "Hand him over, Akina. . . now!" Naraku was serious.  "You know I won't do that," she stated flatly.

            "Oh really," Naraku said with a slight bit of amusement in his cold voice. Naraku snapped his fingers.  The echo of the snap drifted around the dead silence between them. 'What's he gonna do' Inuyasha thought.  Immediately Inuyasha's father was brought out, bound and gagged.  Akina took in a sharp breath.  " Why . . . please stop it you'll kill him," her voice barely above a whisper.  "Mamma what is that stuff," asked Inuyasha, from behind her.  "It sucks out the life force from the being that is held with it," she stated, her voice still barely audible.            "That's right Akina, now hand him over," Naraku said, with a smile playing on his thin lips.  Taisho's body seemed to be almost limp.

           

            Inuyasha walked from behind his mother.  " Take me and stop it, now!" Inuyasha's voice was dead.  He would not allow this to continue.  He didn't know why they wanted him, but if they would stop hurting his parents then he would go.  "Good boy," Naraku said and extended an arm.  Inuyasha's mother stood there shocked.  "He shouldn't have to be a part of this Naraku," she said pulling Inuyasha back to her.  "But he is," he said, his arm still extended.  "I'll go but you have to promise to leave my family alone!" Inuyasha said with the same dead voice.  Naraku showed his amusement plain on his face, "Promise."

           

            Inuyasha turned to look at his mother. He gave her a hug.  "No Naraku he doesn't know what he's doing!" Akina screamed at him.  "STOP!!"

            Akina suddenly kicked out, landing her foot right in Naraku's stomach.  He bent over but recovered quickly.  The two men that were holding up Taisho were suddenly by Naraku's side, and Taisho was on the ground.  Inuyasha didn't know what to do.  He knew he wasn't strong enough to harm the intruders but he had to protect his mother.  He need a distraction.  So Inuyasha jumped onto Naraku's back and bit him.  It was enough of a distraction for Akina to be able to take out one of Naraku's buddies. 

            Naraku flung the young Inuyasha off of his back, making him hit the wall with a sudden *SMACK*  Akina was now being held by Naraku's other henchman.  "It would have been this way any way," Naraku said.  Inuyasha's eyes started to open and his small ears swiveled to the conversation.  "I would have killed you ages ago, but I needed you," Narku said.  Akina fought to get free.  "You will not die the slow painful death that I bestowed upon your husband, no" he said, taking a sideways glance to Taisho, "You will die NOW!" 

            Inuyasha was paralyzed.  He couldn't get up, he couldn't do anything, as he watched Naraku bring back his hand.  Naraku's hand filled with a bright red light.  Then his hand shot out, going straight through her chest, the red light engulfing her body.  She screamed, Akina screamed in pain as his hand went through her stomach. 'Inuyasha I love you. . . I love you'  *Run Inuyasha Run* 

            Taisho seemed to look up one last time to see his wife in agony as she gave their son a look that said, Get Away From Here.  Inuyasha's eyes caught his father's.  "Go son. . . GO!" he said.  Inuyasha gave his parents one last look before jumping out a window.

            Inuyasha had run as fast as he could, his adrenaline rush helping.  He had just witnessed his parents die.  Tears streamed down his face, unnoticed.  His parents were dead and he was running away.  But what was he running away from?  He was still clueless to the conversation that had gone on at his house.

           

            It didn't matter, right now he had to find a place to hide.  That's when he could hear them catching up to him.  He would have to hide, now.

            That's when he found this girls room. They'd given up and he'd fallen asleep.

*End Of Flashback*

            So his parents were dead.  A single tear slid from his eyes, he had to go.  He couldn't stay here.  They would find him and he was putting this girl, and who ever lived in this house, in danger.  He noticed the window was still open.  He climbed through it and on to the roof.  'Stupid girl, not closing her window, who knows what things could climb through that window at night.'

            With that Inuyasha turned around and pulled the window closed.  He looked around. 'Well I can't travel by day, I could be found. . . I'll have to walk at night.

A/N  SSSSOOOOO. . . how did you like it.  Don't worry because you'll actually start understanding it in the next couple chapters.  Actually you probably think you know kinda what's going on and you probably do. (hehehehe it's not that hard to figure out)

Just to let you know( for those of you who didn't catch on)  Inuyasha is a hanyou, half demon,  And he is a child, so he's not that strong for those of you wondering why he didn't star a fight.

AANNYYWWHHOO  review please because I want to know what you think.
