A Stranger Walks At Midnight
Kagome shifted in her sleep. She felt a presence near her, though it didn't alarm her. In fact she felt safer, so she sighed and slept on.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha jumped into a nearby tree. Its branches hung over the girl's window, so he settled onto the one with the most foliage to cover him and leaned against the trunk. He let his eyes close slightly, drifting into a light slumber. His thoughts drifted around the past night's events and to the girl residing in the bedroom. I feel so odd around her. Yet I feel relaxed.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* Inuyasha bolted upright, almost falling out of his branch. That noise!! It hurt his ears.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Uugghh," Kagome grunted at her alarm clock , that was halfway across the room, just so she would have to get up to turn it off. I hate waking up. "It's too early," Kagome said to know one. *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* "Grrrrrr!" Kagome was getting angry, "SHUT UP!" *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* Kagome's arm shot out. *BREEP* *BRREP* *BRRP* *BRRrrrr. . . Kagome bolted up, wide eyed. "WHAT THE HECK!!"
Her alarm clock was smoking. . . not too mention making steaming noises. Kagome just sat there confused and shocked. What would cause her alarm clock to malfunction. . . and SIZZLE!!
Down stairs, Ms. Higurashi sighed as the power went out. "HEY!" Sota said, confused as the T.V. in front of him abruptly shut off. Somehow Ms. Higurashi had a feeling that the neighbor's power would be on and working fine. She reluctantly put down her newspaper to go check on her daughter.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The hanyou hidden in the tree watched with growing interest at the girl was sitting up freaking out at her sizzling alarm clock. He had seen her blast her alarm clock, yet he didn't think she knew she did it. For she looked utterly confused. His gaze saddened though as he saw an older woman come in to comfort the girl. He was sure the she was her mother. He watched as the girl calmed down considerably. His ears swiveled to the conversation and what he heard next confused him.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Ssshhh, honey it's okay," Ms. Higurashi said soothingly. "Okay. . . OKAY! My alarm clock is smoking! That's not okay-" "THAT'S COOL!!!" Sota ran into the room, cutting off his sister. "WOW sis what did you do?" Her brother asked. It made Kagome smile slightly at her brother's interest. "Sota," her mother snapped, cutting off her thoughts, " Kagome did nothing, our power just short-circuited, that's all."
Sota just nodded dumbly, afraid to upset his mother. Kagome was confused, why did she snap at him? "Mom, what time is it?" Kagome asked suddenly. Ms. Higurashi looked at her watch. "Oh my gosh, you kids have to get to school!" Kagome's mom shrieked, making Kagome momentarily forget the incident.
Everyone scattered to their rightful rooms to get ready. Kagome turned around and noticed something odd that she had missed . . . her window was closed.
Aggravated, Kagome walked over to her window and opened it and took a breath of fresh air. She always left her window open. She loved the outdoors, they always made her forget her problems.
Kagome didn't have time to ponder her mysteriously closed window though, for her mom called for her to hurry. So Kagome got ready and then left, making sure her window was open.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha watched as the girl turned to her window and for a moment it looked like she was looking his way, but then her face seemed to cloud over and she walked over to open her window. She stuck her head outside as if looking for a culprit, then turned around at the sound of her mother's voice, telling her to hurry up. She walked into another room then came back, dressed differently. She gave the window one last look then bounded out a different door.
Why would that lady snap like that at that kid? What did he say 'sis what did you do?' What did she call her. . . 'Kagome' yeah that was it. The older lady acted as if, if this 'Kagome' girl did anything it would be a crime.
Inuyasha pondered this as he watched the family get into a light blue van and drive off.
The more he thought about it the more it amazed him. He had watched that, without realizing it, the girl thrust her arm out toward the alarm clock, shooting out a weak purple light. It hit the beeping alarm clock and made it malfunction.
His thoughts wandered back to Naraku. He might come back today to check out the area for him. Inuyasha doubted it though, there were too many people around to see him. He'd look suspicious. But just in case. . .
Inuyasha hopped to the window, now glad that the girl had re-opened it. Since the people chasing him would in fact not be people, but youkai, they would be able to smell him so. . . The young hanyou turned to look around the room he had entered. He could see his surroundings better, now that it was light out. He turned to the dresser to see . . . well he saw nothing but clutter. So he decided to scope out the other rooms and fast he might not have much time.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome put her school books into her locker and closed it. She had first period P.E. Kagome didn't feel like running though. The second her mom drove away from the house, Kagome didn't feel good anymore. She didn't feel as safe as she did when she woke up. She laughed at herself, safe, what was safer than school. They took all the precautions. Still she didn't think she had ever felt as insecure as she did now. She tried to shrug it off but it didn't work.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha crept into another room that had the scent that marked a girl. He presumed the girl's mother. Inuyasha held back the sorrow that threatened to take him over. He didn't have time, anyone could be back at any moment.
He walked over to a counter and found exactly what he was looking for. . . perfume. It was perfect, if he wore it they wouldn't be able to catch his scent. His mom had told him that once. The hanyou quickly grabbed a bottle and opened it, pouring it all over himself. He sneezed. God this stuff smells!! He thought, but it would last until night fall . . . he hoped.
Inuyasha discarded the empty bottle back on the counter and slowly turned around. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" he screamed. The fattest cat he had ever seen launched itself right into his stomach at the sound of his scream. I couldn't smell it because of the perfume. Dang it puts me at a disadvantage too, I can't smell anything else!
The cat plopped itself down on his stomach and looked intently at Inuyasha. Inuyasha glared at it, then pushed it off. He didn't have time for this. The cat just ran under the nearest bed with and indignant hiss. "Keh," he said. (Oh yeah Inuyasha's getting his attitude)
He heard a car door slam. He quickly ran to the open window and jumped out. He resumed his place on the branch of the oversized tree until night came.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome lay on her bed, thinking about the morning's events. Her alarm clock had been fried. Her mother had snapped at Sota. . . again. Truthfully her mother had been doing that a lot lately. Whenever something happened. As if nothing is aloud to be my fault. She thought curiously.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha decided that now was a good time to leave. It was dark out. He never really decided where he was going, he just decided he was going. He thought he'd figure it out once he got there. He hopped out of the tree and started to make his way across the grass lawn.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome moved to her window, glad to see it was still open. I wonder who closed it? Kagome didn't get to wonder long as she saw a small red cloaked figure move across her lawn. She wanted to call out but didn't as the hood fell off to reveal long silvery hair that reflected the moon's light. She gasped 'beautiful' she thought.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha turned around at the sound of a gasp. He drew in a sharp breath. The girl was standing there watching him. Their eyes locked in a gaze. Her curious blue- gray eyes seemed to speek to him. They seemed to say 'Who are you?' He broke the gaze and ran.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Her eyes locked with the cloaked figure's as he turned around. His eyes. . . they're gold! His eyes held a pleading look in them that said 'Please don't tell' then he ran.

You guys have to help me out here please! Okay you don't have to but I would like it. I need you to, in your review, tell me which one of these you would like me to write next. I won't do them for a while till I get a little farther into my first 2 fics. Don't worry. Just vote please:
1. They were predestined to be together. But what if you could mess with fate? What if somebody did? Now the only two people who can save the world, have to find each other on their own.
2. Every time that your heart beats, it's calling out. And somewhere out there somebody elses is answering.
3. Inuyasha is a bad boy. He does everything from robbing expensive jewelry stores to high jacking goverment airplanes. So what happens when Kagome finds him breaking into a goverment building and he has to take her hostage. Now the CIA, FBI, and government officials are after the man who is convicted of everything but murder. . . so far.
4. Kagome goes to a summer camp. The camp has an old tale that, every night when everyone's asleep, a pack of blood thirsty demons will take one of the sleeping campers into the woods and kill them. It's just an old story right. So what happens when someone ends up missing? I/K S/M
5. Kagome's the president's daughter. Inuyasha's a senator's son. They don't know each other. Both are being pulled into a world of politics that neither want to be a part of. They both sneek out and bump into each other. Love blooms but when they find out each others secrets can their love survive?
6. AU- Inuyasha broke up with Kikyo. Kagome broke up with Hojo. Inuyasha and Kagome wish they hadn't. So they make up a plan to make their ex's jealous. . . they're going to act like they're a couple. But what happens when they're feeling aren't pretend anymore? I/K
7. The night is beautiful, with it's stars that light up the sky. Darkness is serene, with no moon to clear your path. But beware. . . that's when death strikes. Then again, just because you're dead doesn't mean you can't become a godess. I/K
Okay I am an Inuyasha/Kagome person. I will most likely put in some Sango/Miroku too. Just tell me which ones you like best!!!!
