Jayden:: okey dokey… disclaimer: I do not own any anime I use in my story (for now, rurouni kenshin and inuyasha). I do have copyright to my story so there. #sticks out tongue #

Inuyasha:: wench, stop talking and write the story

Jayden: I'M NOT A WENCH !! SO SHUT UP!!!

Inuyasha:: Hmph…

Jayden:: here it goes…

Run, Run, as Fast as You can

"Inuyasha, can we stop running now? I'm tired."

"Wench, stop complaining. If I'm gunna protect you, then you should be far away."

"That doesn't make any sense, because how can you protect me if I'm not with you?" Inuyasha stopped running.

"Well… umm… it is privileged information, so THERE!" Kagome giggled at Inuyasha's scowl. "Fine, I guess you can stay with me, wench." Kagome sighed, and they started walking next to a stream. The girl jumped as she heard a rumble. "I'm sooo hungry."

"Well don't look at me, I don't have any food with me since you dragged me through the well," Kagome mumbled under her breath.

"Hey, it was either that or get killed," Inuyasha scowled at her.

"Well we're going to die anyway if we don't get food soon," Kagome said, and then made her point by sticking her tongue out at Inuyasha.

"Wench, you frustrate me."

Kagome stuck her nose up in the air. "Sit, boy." Inuyasha slammed into the ground.

"OW! Why do you always have to do that, wench?"

"Inuyasha, I don't always do that, or I'd be saying, 'sit, boy; sit, boy; sit boy;sit, boy…' " As Kagome kept saying 'sit, boy,' Inuyasha kept digging his face deeper into the ground.

Between this, he started sniffing the air. "Ka… gome… I thi.. nk that… oww!… some… thing… is still fo… llowing us… CAN U… OW! STOP DOING… THAT?!" Kagome stopped sitting him, and listening.

"I… don't hear anything."

"That's because you, wench, are a stupid human!" Then his ears pricked up. A crashing noise got louder and nearer to them through the bushes. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and jumped into a nearby tree. Through the bushes came such a creature as he had never seen; it was a fair sized black dog, with red eyes, and blood-dripping fangs. Though it could be said that it somewhat resembled a dog demon, both Kagome and Inuyasha sensed something… well strange about it.

The hound's pupil-less eyes looked up into the tree they were in and howled, which almost caused Inuyasha to fall out of the tree, for it's sound was loud, screechy, and high pitched; nothing like anything humane. Other howls followed it, and soon there were five hounds around the tree.

Inuyasha scoffed, "This'll be easy. Stay here wench, and you'll be safe."

"Inuyasha, be careful," Kagome said quietly.

He jumped out of the tree and drew the Tetsuseiga. The hounds turned to face him, licking their muzzles. Inuyasha struck at the closest. Upon contact, the dog started to yip, as if it was laughing; the mighty Tetsuseiga had barely done any damage at all. In response, the dog breathed fire at him, which his robe deflected, but then quickly disintegrated.

Kagome gasped. "Inuyasha, look out!" Inuyasha turned around just as a dagger flew an inch past his face and imbedded itself into the tree Kagome still sat in.

"First time is a warning. Come quietly and without fuss, and your death will be quick, and the girl shall live… as my own." A figure in a black hooded cloak walked toward Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, please, have a seat." A hand emerged from the robe and gestured to a moving form, which soon became a wooden chair. "Please, sit."

"How about no."

"No? Well I insist!" Again the strangers hand moved. Inuyasha's form was thrown onto the chair. "Now, I shall ask you again. Let me kill you without hassle, and I shall make sure that it is quick and painless, and that Kagome is spared."

"I'm not going to just let you kill me! You stupid…" A piece of wood flew over his mouth, and wooden straps embraced him firmly.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome jumped out of the tree and slapped the stranger, which wrenched back his hood. His face was young; long white hair covered an unusually pale face, which beared red eyes. He grabbed her wrist as she started to slap him again.

"You may now watch as Inuyasha is killed, in a way, and then becoming one of us," he murmured as he stroked one of the hounds. His features twisted as he became a vampire.

"Inuyasha, no!" She tried to run to the hanyou, but she couldn't move. The vampire grabbed Inuyasha's head and tilted it back. He bit Inuyasha's neck, and then screamed out as a silver stake went through his chest.

"Jess, it's only a henchman." Akita took out the stake, and the vampire slumped to the ground. Jess walked over to Kagome and touched her forehead.

"§†Ihñ Ö§ña Ki," Jess said in a chanting voice. Kagome stumbled a bit, then stood up.

"… thank you."

"ñEl… err… thank you… err… your welcome." Jess looked at the hanyou. His features were already beginning to change. "Akita, quickly kiss his neck."

"WHAT!?" Akita screamed at Jess.

"Just do it or we'll have some serious trouble on our hands."

"Hmph, stupid…" She walked over to Inuyasha and kissed where he had been bitten, and the transformation receded.

"That'll work… for now." Jess mumbled. "We have to get moving. Those hounds will get more, and they will be on our tail by nightfall."

Jayden:: I hoped you liked the second chapter. Please RR… I need critique!!!

Inuyasha:: Ya you do… you're horrible at writing. #smacked over the head.# oww…

Jayden:: Kagome!

Kagome:: Ya?

Jayden:: He said I write bad.

Kagome:: Sit, boy!
