A/N Okay so here's the deal. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! All those reviews!!!! Thanks. It means a lot to know people like what I write. I just need to clear up a few things that seem to be confusing people:
ANSWERS: Inuyasha is a young Hanyou. This is the reason why he doesn't start any fights and go against Naraku. He's smart!! Kagome is also YOUNG!!! It says in this chapter she is only seven!!!!! Inuyasha is older than Kagome, but then again demons live long. They will grow up!!! I promise!!! You'll just have to wait and see for yourself.!!! :)
Now that's over with. . . SHOUT OUT'S :
TWIL: Inuyasha's flashback was about the night before, so yes he is still young. I'm going to have them grow up so don't worry! :)
Anti[.]Poptarts: Don't worry, I might get writers block or get really busy but I wil NOT I repeat WILL NOT abandon this story.
CraziAznGurl: You are like the one of the only people that read both my stories THANK YOU!! *sniff*
Tsukikage Kitsune : Inuyasha ran away because he's a YOUNG hanyou and has enough sense not to get himself killed. He knew he couldn't beat him, but don't worry he's planning revenge. . . for when he grows up.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I do own this story line though. :)
A Stranger Walks At Midnight
"Meow." "Hey Buyo," Kagome said, greeting her oversized cat. She was still staring out her window at the place where 'he' last stood. Who was he? she thought. Buyo came and plopped down beside her. "WHOA! Buyo, you SMELL!" Kagome shrieked.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" someone screamed. Kagome ran into her mother's room, recognizing the scream as hers. "Mom what's wrong?!" Kagome said, a baseball bat in hand.
"My $100 perfume! The bottle is empty, it's all gone!" her mother shrieked. Kagome sweatdropped, putting down the bat. She picked up the cat, "Here mom, I think I found the culprit."
Her mother stopped her ranting and stared at the cat. Buyo just yawned, which made her mother angry. "Buyo, how could you?" Kagome's mom shrieked. "Meow," Buyo said. Translation: "I can't understand you. All I know is that you're gonna have some girls around this FINE smelling cat." Of course Kagome's mom didn't hear that. "BAD! OUT!" Mrs. Higurashi screamed at it.
Kagome left her mom to deal with her cat and walked back to her room to think.

He was running again. Somehow he had a feeling that if he had stayed at that house any longer Naraku would have found him. Now he was on the streets again. He would have to spend the night somewhere. He was already far away from that house.
That girl, she had seen him. Hopefully when Naraku came back to check he wouldn't interrogate anyone. She might say something. He didn't want her to have to go through something like that, she didn't deserve it. I can't judge her like that already, I don't even know her, he thought to himself.
He stopped running and looked around. He was in a dense forest. I must have run a little farther than I thought. He looked around himself and noticed that nobody lived around here. Good, he thought, I can stay here and nobody will notice or bother me.
**A/N you know how I've been using this font to show thoughts, well it's easier if I use these '. . . '. It lets me type faster so I'm switching it.**
He decided to travel deeper into the forest for a better chance of not being found since he would be staying here. 'I should go as deep as possible and swerve around so when Naraku's gang comes to find me it will be harder.' he thought.
That's when it hit him. . . fish. . . he smelled fish. He stopped to listen. . . no he couldn't here any water running, so they weren't in a river. No . . . someone was cooking fish. 'Should I keep going. . . it could be a trap.' he thought. He made up his mind.
Inuyasha jumped into a nearby tree. He climbed up as far as he could and looked around. 'There, there's a hut in that clearing over there.' He stealthily jumped from tree to tree until he neared the clearing.

"I can smell him, but it's almost a day old." "Naraku, sir, we've spotted something quite interseting," a man called out to his boss. Naraku turned around, his consentration broken, "What is it!" he snapped. "Um. . . uh uh. . . it's. . . um. . . it's that trashcan over there," he stuttered at his annoyed boss.
Naraku stared at him blankly. "You broke my concentration to tell me there's something weird about a TRASHCAN!" He was livid. "No sir! It's just. . . It's glowing sir. Nobody can touch it," he said, backing away from his seething boss. Naraku stopped . . . it couldn't be.

Ms. Higurashi drove up to her house. Her kids were at school and she had time to plan. She wasn't planning on going somewhere, no, she had to plan . . . excuses. She had to dispose of that alarm clock. Her daughter was growing stronger. That meant it was drawing nearer. She couldn't keep her in the dark forever. . . but she could try. She was still so young. She should still have 8 years or so, she was only seven.
Ms. Higurashi climbed the stairs to her daughter's room. The alarm clock was still sizzling. She tried to pick it up. It crackled and zapped her. It had never been like this for her. No. She tried again and defiantly held onto it through it's electrocuting torture. She could handle it. She ran to the street and dumped it. She had a special friend who could come pick it up.
A/N Okay it got a little confusing, but you'll understand later. I promise. Okay now go review.
Okay I'm probably going to be updating mostly on weekends now, because of school. I might find time if I get enough reviews. I am sorry this took so long to get out. I might take longer with chapters because I'm having a bit of a writers block right now, bu tdon't worry I'll try to update soon. :)
