Disclaimer:I don't own Inu Yasha at all!

Author's Note: Hey everyone! This is your friendly author, kitkatfox, returning with a new fanfic! This is my first AU (alternate universe, same characters, different situation and place) but I hope that won't affect my writing. I've worked uber (I love that word) hard on this fic. Please R&R

I want to thank my dear wonderful beta-reader, The Forgotten Child, I dedicate this story to you and GoddessofSugar since you helped with the ideas. Oh, and SagiraAkila for reading every single word of almost anything I've written!

Chapter One: Attempted Escape, and meeting

"Mr. Urufu? She isn't in her room."

"What?" Yelled Kouga Urufu, his eyes blazing, "You had better find her, or your insides will be decoration on the wall!" Kouga paced unhappily, not understanding why his love kept trying to get away from him. It didn't make any sense. She had everything, clothes, jewelry, and money. Being the girlfriend of the biggest crime lord in Chicago had its benefits. Of course, it had its drawbacks.

There was the loud chatter of voices as Kagome opened the door to the train station, walking in slowly, glancing around nervously.

It's okay Kagome, just get a ticket, get on a train, and you're out of here forever...

She walked towards the ticket window, crossing her fingers and pulling money from her purse. As she was looking down into the bag for her wallet, she wasn't watching where she was going and ran straight into someone.

"Hey, watch it..." grunted the angry person. Kagome's eyes widen as she said hastily,

"Oh, I'm so sorry...I was looking for money so I could-"

"Whatever. Just don't get in my way again." She looked up to see a man with white hair and sunglasses looking down at her. She assumed he was glaring from the look on his face, but had no way of knowing. There was a bandanna on his head and he was sporting a very nice leather jacket.

Actually, in contrary to what she thought, he was perusing this pretty, but nervous young woman who had bumped into him. She was slightly intriguing with her disheveled black hair and unhappy stormy gray eyes. The clothes she was wearing were very nice, or they were at one point. Now they were quite unkempt and tattered.

"I apologize again sir..." she mumbled, glancing to her left as she felt eyes on her. There was a dark haired man looking at her angrily and she gasped. She knew who he was. Stepping away from the white haired man, she turned sharply and started running through the crowd.

The stranger with the sunglasses followed her gaze to the other dark haired man. Immediately frowning, the man pulled down his sunglasses slightly for a better view. Golden eyes rested on the other man who was trying to desperately follow Kagome.

"Kouga's men..." growled the stranger, turning to follow the girl also.

Kagome finally reached the ladies restroom and ducked in, trying to catch her breath.

"Okay...so he found me. That's alright, I'll just hide in here..." She heard footsteps coming closer to the door and dashed into a stall, closing the door and sliding the lock over. In walked the white haired man, glancing around.

"Look wench, I know you're in here. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to know why you're trying to hide from one of Kouga's henchman." There was a squeak of metal on metal as a stall door opened and Kagome stepped out unsurely.

"This...isn't a trap, right?"

"No. What's your connection with Kouga? You don't owe him money do you?" He asked, another glance at her once nice clothes.

"No I don't owe him money. Wait. How do you know Kouga? You don't work for him do you?" she asked fearfully. The stranger snorted.

"Hell no. Not in a million years." Kagome was visibly relieved.

"Oh...good. I...I'm...sort of...his friend?" she said dishonestly, as a question.

"His friend? Then why are you running from his cronies?"

"Uh well...I'm..." she hesitated, looking down at her shoes and wondering if she should tell this strange man what was going on. "I'm trying to visit a sick relative. Kouga's being stupid and won't let me go. So...I had to try and slip away. Obviously it didn't work," she said in a rush, only lying slightly.

"He won't let you visit a sick relative?"

"He's kinda of...weird like that," she muttered, glancing at the restroom door as if someone was going to burst in any moment. The man let out a rough laugh, replying,

"Oh yeah, that sounds like Kouga."

"You know him?"

"Correction, knew him. Not anymore. I'm not in that business anymore." he gritted out. Kagome frowned at him.

"So were you guys friends or something?" She asked innocently.

"Oh, no way! Me? Friends with Kouga? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!"

"Who are you?" Kagome questioned hesitantly.

"My name's Inu Yasha. Yours?" But he didn't get a response. Kagome stared at him with wide gray eyes full of terror. "What?" She took a step back slowly when suddenly the door crashed in and a couple dark haired gangsters came running in. She glanced at them and moved over quickly, until she was standing slightly behind them. Both of the newcomers looked at her in surprise.

"Miss Kagome?" This time, Inu Yasha'a eyes widened. "What's wrong? We...we expected you to put up more of a fight."

"Th-that's..." she put up a trembling finger to point at Inu Yasha who was looking back at her with surprise, "That's Inu Y-Yasha." both gangsters turned and looked at him, pulling out guns.

"Inu Yasha!" The aforementioned man pulled off his sunglasses and glared at the two men. They backed down, moving towards the bathroom door. Kagome gasped audibly at his shockingly colored eyes. He turned his gaze to her, darkening it and she let out a squeak of fear before dashing out the door behind the two other men.
