The Path of the Damned
Summary :
Kagome is a runaway who turns to a life of crime to survive. During one of her little 'missions' she gets caught and recruited for Tokyo's toughest gangs, Aka no Youkais. There's only one catch-she must pass a test more deadly than any other. Will she take on this challenge? Or will someone stop her? Will she make it out, dead or alive in the end?
Personal responses:
angel-wings-131: She'd have to be a fighter, otherwise she won't be able to survive in my story...She's a sweet girl, but is ruthless when the need be.
Star Katt: That was my goal-give the readers a taste of confusion before I continued. Anyways, I can't answer your other question...it would ruin the story.
Kitsune-kun: Yeah, I used to feel like you do, but then I saw a scene where she helps Inuyasha save Kagome... Anyways, she won't be paired with Inuyasha long...

Chapter Two
Kagome sighed. She was low on funds and she had already stretched them as far as she could. 'Looks like I'll have to get more money tonight..' she thought as she threw her ramune bottle in the rubbish bin. It had already been four days since her last stunt, and tonight would be her next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshomaru stared at the paper.
'Higurashi family offering a 10,000 yen reward for the safe return of their daughter.' Below that was a picture of the girl that had been missing.
'She bears a striking resemblence to Kikyo... If I did not know any better, I'd swear they are twins.' he said with his emotionless mask plastered on his visage. 'This might work out wonderfully.' he displayed one of his rare smirks. 'Yes....just wonderfully.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late at night, and the Mtheif was about to strike yet again. Using the usual methods to get inside the building, the thief quietly crept into the building with flawlessly accurate movements. 'Damn I'm good.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kikyo sighed. "Let me get this straight..." she said as Sesshomaru once again kissed her neck again, "You want 'me' to impersonate some teeny-bopper for the sake of ten thousand yen?"
"Of course.." he said, eyes flickering like candles dancing in the wind.
Kikyo pulled the satin sheet up around her bare body even more. "There's no way..."
"I beg to differ. There is a way." he said and she let out another sigh. "Trust me. Just do it..You'll find it well worth it." he said as a slightly mischevious grin began to play at the corners of his lips.
"Well...." Kikyo began as she gazed at him more, and fingered his perfectly chiseled chest, "In that case...."
"Good." he said as he kissed her yet again, ravishing her mouth with his lust filled kisses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The intruder fiddled around in the dark building, looking for anything, unfortunately, she didn't see the table protruding out in the hallway.
"Shamatta...." she hissed as she tripped on the table leg and fell flat on her face with quite a sickening thud.
The lights flickered on and footsteps could be heard behind her.
'Kuso..kuso...KUSO!'
"Well, well, well...if it isn't the Mtheif..." the man said. His voice echoed through her head tauntingly. The figure waked closer to where the girl sat, rubbing her sore head.
She looked up to see his face. He wore his hair back, in a small ponytail, and he wore a brown sweatband accross his forehead. His eyes were a deep brown, and his visage bore a cocky grin. He had on a black muscle shirt and brown loose pants. He bent to one knee to examine the thief.
"Well if it isn't a girl.." he said, acting shocked. "You must be damn good to get as far as you did. This building is flooded with survailance and security."
"Yeah, I know.." she said as she glared up at him. "So call the police already."
"Well, I would, but....I'll give you an ultimadum."
"Let's hear it." she said as she got up and dusted herself off.
"Hold on missy, you have no room to be cocky here. You're life lies in my hands.."
"I don't see how." she glared at him.
'She's spunky..' "Well then, I'll show you." Within a flash, he was behind her with a knife to her throat. She grasped his arm trying to get it away from her neck. "Now do you see?"
She raised her foot and kicked him in the crotch, causing him to loose equillibrium and making him stagger back. She snatched the knife away from him and held it to his throat. "Yes, I see very well...do you?"
"Koga, what is going on down here?" came a voice as Kagome turned around to meet a young woman, around her age, face to face. "Oh..guess we had one to slip by." she grinned as she stared at the pained Koga who was holding his crotch protectively. The one who held the knife to his throat glared at her. "You look familiar somehow...You that Higurashi kid?"
"So what if I am?"
"I'll tell you what....you have two choices. Either I call the police.." she said as she whipped out her cell phone, " Or you come with me."
She scoffed. "And if I refuse?"
"Like I said, I'll call the police."
Kagome sighed, then smirked inwardly. "Fine. I'll come with you."
"Good girl. Put down the knife."
Kagome lay the knife on the table.
"Now, follow me." the girl said and Kagome did as she was told, leaving Koga behind to regain....well, his balls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you if you don't try anything stupid." the girl said to break the building tension.
"Whatever."
"Name's Sango. I'm sure you're wondering why I didn't call the cops."
'Because you're an idiot?' "....."
Sango turned to see Kagome eye to eye as she opened a door. "Go inside."
Kagome did, and Sango followed and closed the door.
"How do you feel about gangs, Higurashi?"
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"I'm in a gang. Aka no Youkais. Meaning ..."
"The bloody demons." Kagome added, rolling her eyes.
"Right."
"So what does this have to do with me?"
"Well, I want you to join. You seem to have strength if you knocked Koga on his ass like you did." Sango laughed.
Kagome smirked. "I know some moves.."
"Well, if you join us, you'll learn more. You won't have to worry about those petty crimes you've been doing, and you'll have a place to sleep."
Kagome thought for a moment. "And if I refuse?"
"Now that you know about us, it won't be as simple as calling the cops." Sango said as her eyes gleamed dangerously.
Kagome nodded. "I accept. I'll join the damn gang."
Sango clapped her hands together. "Great! In the morning, I'll take you to Sesshomaru, and..."
"Sesshomaru Tajou?" Kagome asked, her eyes growing wide. He was known throught Japan as the 'Glass Killer'. He was known as that for his face was expressionless, like if he showed any emotion it would shatter.
Sango nodded and continued. "He'll make the decision whether or not you can join...."
"What if he says no?"
"You don't want to know."
Kagome gulped. "Okay. Well..."
"Don't worry about it Kagome. He'll accept you. Now let's get some rest..." she said as she finished making Kagome a pallet on the floor and Kagome accepted greatfully.
'I hope things work out according to my plan..' she thought as darkness took her into a realm of dreams.
