WeeHoo! Its me again, needing to get this story out before I forget it! And all you peoples that liked Savior ~IF there's any peoples =(~ have no need to worry, I'll still work on it and submit chapters ASAP. I came up with THIS story idea in my Accounting class, and wanted to get it out before the Debits, Credits, and Owner's Equity made me forget. Like the other story, it will star Koga *I loves him! He's so cutesy!* and some chicks I made up (based off of peoples I know). Hope you all likey?

.:And yes, I know; all the girls I write about as main characters all sound alike \/_\/ I lack creativity when it comes to writing (well, sometimes) and its just something you all gotta deal with =D hehe j/m! But a challenge of sorts is probably trying not to get these chicks confused with each other. ~shakes head~ I'VE done it enough =P!:.

P.S. LISTEN TO FLOATER! They're kewlies =D

~*~*~*~*~

Mallory put her bass guitar back in its case, her fingers and voice hurting after another session of band practice. She had a half an hour to get home and get ready for work. It was a Thursday, and that meant serious business. After shouting a quick good-bye to her band mates, she hopped into her car and sped home.

***

The band, called Degeneration X Factor, included Mallory on vocals and bass, Erika on drums, and Kelsea on guitar. Their sound was a mixture of (OLD, not new)Metallica, KoRn, Orgy (YES that's a band, and a great one at that!), Floater, and other kick-ass bands like that. They never planned on making it big, and only played at the clubs around town. They did cover tracks of their favorite bands, but had plenty of shit to call their own.

Getting together with the girls to jam three days a week was Mallory's favorite thing to do. Playing music in her band helped her get out her frustrations and took off a lot of stress.

Nine-teen year old Mallory was living a double life.

During the day, she was in college to get a degree in Pharmaceutical Medicine and a member of an all-girl rock band. She was the "hot" chick with piercings, blond hair down to her ass, and a gig with a modeling agency.

At night, Mallory worked at a strip joint called Centerfolds on the weekends to make ends meet. As for the other five nights in the week, she was a demon hunter.

In the city of Chico, there was a shitload of demons, it was just that nobody could see them. They were able to look just like humans. It was their auras that made it so Mallory could eliminate them. But lately, they've been finding ways to cover it up.

That only made her job harder.

Ever since she was a toddler, Mallory's parents trained her to be a hunter. Her childhood consisted of discipline and strength. At the age of 15, she lost her parents against a bunch of mangy Wolf Demons.

A vengeance rode on her since.

***

When Mallory got home, she stashed her guitar in the hall closet and changed her clothes. Settling for a plaid skirt, a tight black tank top and tall black boots, she grabbed her knives and keys and was back out the door.

Mallory got on her cell phone as she drove towards downtown and called Inuyasha to see what was up.

Even though he was demon, Mallory had befriended him. Two years ago, she spared him when she found him in the park, and he later returned the favor by saving her life when she was outnumbered by a gang of Leopard Demons. After gaining her complete trust, Inuyasha was an ally of Mallory's, helping her scope out the demons that were a threat to the humans in the city.

And besides, he was only half-demon.

His phone was answered by Kagome, his girlfriend. "Hello?" Kagome asked, and by the background noise she heard, Mallory guessed that they were in a restaurant.

"Kagome? Its Mallory, is Inuyasha there?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, hang on a sec." *pause* "INUYASHA! GET AWAY FROM THOSE SLOT MACHINES AND COME TALK TO MALLORY!!"

So they were at a casino. Mallory smiled.

There was a brief racket, then she heard the familiar, "What do you want now, bee-atch?"

"Well, I'm downtown and I need to know where the hot spots are."

"Hmmm let me think...."

"You haven't let me down, have you?"

"No, of course not. The Brickworks is having a rave tonight, and Tower Records is having a record release party for some band; big gig. You might want to check it out."

"That'll work. Hey, how do you know these things, anyways?" Mallory asked, making a left turn.

"A little birdy tells me..." Inuyasha said playfully.

"Can I meet this little birdy?"

"Nope, I ate him." *loud crash and cursing is heard* "Ah shit, Kagome just got cheated out of $50 at a game of Roulette, and she's pissed. I gotta go."

"Oh fine."

"HEY! You better call if anything happens and you need my help, alright?"

"Oh, Inuyasha, you're such a doll!" Mallory said, parking her car and cutting the engine when she reached the Brick Works.

"Feh! I just don't want to have to be the one to scrape your guts off the pavement! Don't forget to call and tell me how it goes, okay?"

"Alright," Mallory said, hanging up. She got out of the car and checked to make sure her knives were in the right places: one in a sheath in each boot. Only then did she make her way towards the building.

A security guard stopped her at the door and glared. "Are you 21 or over?"

"No."

"Then I cant let you in."

Mallory glared back and was about to give him shit when another security guard came up and said, "Hey, you're that stripper I saw last Sunday! Do you remember me, you gave me a lap dance...?"

Mallory did, in fact, remember him. "Oh yeah! You were the dude that spent the day in an adult-themed facility while your wife and children went to church, right?" she asked, making her tone of voice as rude and sarcastic as possible.

"Yep that was me."

'Despicable swine,' she thought, plastering a fake-ass grin on her face. He turned to the other guard-dude.

"You can let her in, she's fine," he said, winking at her.

Mallory shuddered, but mumbled a mere thanks as she made her way in.

The auras of demons hit her like a cannon.

Mallory knew already that it was going to be a long night. And to make things better, it was mostly Wolf-Demons.

Goody.

She got to work at once.

~*~*~*~*~

In the course of three hours, Mallory was able to lure in and kill twelve demons. But that was nothing; at least twenty-five or so still remained.

She was exhausted, the last one had put up quite a fight. She found a table and sat her ass down to rest and drink some tea.

"Well, hello there," a deep male voice said, and when Mallory looked up she was taken aback.

Standing beside her table was a tall male of about the age of 21. He had long black hair tied back in a ponytail and stunning blue eyes. He was wearing black bondage pants with lots of chains and a Staind shirt (another kick-ass band; booya! Sorry *^_^*).

"You're in that band Degeneration X Factor, aren't you?" he asked, sitting in a chair across from her. Mallory stared at him shamelessly.

"Yep. Did you come to tell me I suck, like some other dude did tonight?" she asked, not able to get over those blue eyes.

He laughed. "No, I love you guys! I've never seen anyone play slap-bass or belt out lyrics quite like you."

Mallory blushed slightly. "Heh, thanks. Got any favorite songs?"

"Yeah. That song of yours, "Contraband" is pretty neat. My favorite covers you guys did were "Predictable"(KoRn), "Sparrows In Frost"(Floater), "Prayer" (Disturbed), "Fly From The Inside" (Shinedown), and a shitload of others! You guys are pretty fuckin heavy for chicks, no offense," he said, smiling.

'Holy shit,' Mallory thought, 'This guy is fucking gorgeous! Even his damn teeth are perfect!'

"Thanks," she whispered, still staring.

"The name's Kouga," he said, sticking his hand across the table.

Mallory took his hand and shook it firmly, not wanting to let go. "Nice to meet you. My name's Mallory, but you probably knew that already, right?"

"Yup," Kouga said, scooting his chair closer to hers. Mallory felt her heart flutter.

'What the fuck is my problem?' she wondered, not understanding the way she was feeling.

Mallory played in front of large crowds, and she never felt nervous or fidgety in any way, and she then found herself getting butterflies in her stomach while Kouga sat and talked with her.

By the time ten minutes passed, Kouga had to leave. But he didn't go without giving Mallory his phone number first.

Pratically floating, Mallory decided to call it a night and snaked her way through the crowd and out to her car, humming to herself.

After calling Inuyasha to tell him about how the hunt went, she headed home.

~*~*~*~*~

Mallory pulled into the parking lot of her apartment complex at a little after one in the morning. Still humming, she locked up the car and walked into the landing to get on the elevator.

When Mallory reached the third floor, the elevator door opened and she was roughly yanked out of it.

"What the fuck-who the hell do you think you are?!" she shouted at the chick responsible for grabbing her.

She had red hair, tied back in pigtails, and her green eyes burned into Mallory's. "What the hell were you doing with Kouga?"

Mallory laughed. Kouga said he had no girlfriend, and so she excused this girl as somebody who had a crush on him. "I was talking with him; why the fuck do you care?"

"I heard you did more-"

"Play whatever you want of it, bitch! All we did was talk, now move," Mallory snapped, shoving the girl to the side. She was shoved back. She spun around, furious. The girl looked smug.

"You better stay away from him," the girl growled, and Mallory saw her aura.

Demons that could hide their auras had them revealed when they became extremely pissed off.

~Wolf Demon!~

Mallory unsheathed one of her knives from the inside of her left boot. "I know what you are, you fucking whore. Get the hell out of here before I slit you from ass to neck."

The Wolf Demon looked at the knife and backed away a little bit, but did not leave.

The manager of the complex came out and looked at the situation. "What's going on? Is this girl bothering you, Mallory?"

The Wolf Demon shoved Mallory again before snarling, "This isnt the last you'll see of me," and stomping away.

Mallory shoved her knife back into her boot and went to her apartment in a huff, regretting not stabbing the wench when she had the chance.

'What a fucking bitch!' she thought, taking off her boots and laying down on her bed. 'That better be the last I see of her or else I'll gut her ass.'

Mallory was lulled to by her C.D. player and the thought of Kouga.

~*~*~*~*~
