Chapter Two:

The gray sky reflected her remorseful feelings. She was still upset about what he had said to her. Was it really necessary to be so harsh? If he just wanted me to leave him alone, that was all he had to tell me, he didn't have to be so mean over it. She crossed her arms in an attempt to be warmer. A cold wind brushed her hair across her face; she shivered. It was so cold. She walked a little faster, hoping the school would come into her view soon.

As she rounded a corner she could see it. It stood tall behind ancient oak trees. Several students were also on their way. Normally they would have sauntered around the courtyard before the school bell, but in this weather that was all different. She walked beside the iron rails; she was almost inside.

A second burst of cold air blew against her fragile frame. She was prepared to have numb arms, but they never came. She felt warmth come over her body. She looked up. There he was.

"Inuyasha?" He stood tall. His silver hair was tossed be the light breeze, his body silhouetted against the white sunlight. "Why did you give me your coat?" Isn't he the one who wanted me to leave him alone?

"Feh. You were cold. I'm not just gonna let some girl freeze to death right in front of me you know." He held his head high. " Look, just give it back to me after school okay? But until then, just leave me alone." He walked ahead of her towards the school.

How odd. She thought to herself. She wrapped the coat around tightly. It was very warm.

A tear found its way down her cheek. Why does that jerk have to be so stubborn? He can't hate me. He wouldn't have given me his jacket. But he still doesn't want to talk to me! That just doesn't make any sense! Her bottom lip quivered. "I can't cry over a jerk like him, it just isn't worth it!" She trudged through the pathway leading to the school.

She stepped inside the doors and welcomed the warm air. She put on a smile and walked through the hall. Several of her friends waved to her. She nodded her head towards them, but she didn't speak. That Inuyasha, why does he make me so sad? Why do I care so much about him? I can't describe how happy I feel when I see him, but after what he said- he doesn't want to talk to me anymore- every time I do as much as think about him, I get sad. I don't think I can take this anymore! She balled up her fist and shook her head. I will not think of him anymore! Some of the students around her gave off puzzled looks at her actions, but they went right back to their business. He told me that Inuyasha would be like this. Every day that Inuyasha was at the Juvenile Hall, could he be right? Is Inuyasha really a bad person? No! I just cannot allow myself to believe that! I've known him for too long, I would have seen that in him by now…maybe.

It was odd, for the past year she had imagined that she would be so happy that Inuyasha had come back, but now, his first day back, she felt so sad and angry. She was confused, and she stayed that way through all her classes that day.

Fortunately, the day had gone by faster than expected. She soon found herself walking back home. I hardly saw Inuyasha today, I guess his presence doesn't really affect school after all, I thought it would… She was on the sidewalk, the cold air nipping at her bare legs. That's when she remembered, "Oh wait, I was supposed to return Inuyasha's jacket to him!" She spun around and walked quickly back to the school building.

She turned the corner by the courtyard. She hit something hard. She hadn't seen it; her mind was too preoccupied with memories to see her surroundings. She felt herself loose balance. A muffled yell slipped from her mouth. She felt her legs bend; she was falling. She saw her hair fly in front of her face. She tightly shut her eyes, awaiting the pain she was soon to experience.

Surprisingly, that pain never came. She slowly opened her eyes in suspicion. Is my mind playing tricks on me? Did I actually fall? Why didn't I hit the ground? She looked up, only to find that she was being held from the waist. "What?" She asked to herself in confusion.

"You didn't think I would let you fall and injure yourself, now would you Kagome?" She saw his face. It was tanned, the eyes were blue ebbs, and his long black hair was in a high ponytail.

"Kouga? What are you doing here?" She heard herself ask.

"Well I was going home after a long day of school." He smiled. "But the question is…what are you doing here? I'm pretty sure your house is in the opposite direction." He placed her on her feet, but he kept his arms around her waist.

"Well, I was going to return this coat to someone." She looked at the hands around her waist. This feels rather uncomfortable; I wish he would stop holding me like this. She smiled at him.

"Really?" He leant forward, close to her face. A red color was spreading over her face. Why is he coming so close? Why are his eyes closed? Her eyes were wide open, and her heart was beating quickly.

Then he moved his face to the left, he sniffed her coat. His once happy, pleasant expression turned into a frown. "This kind of smells like Dog-boy. This wouldn't be by any chance his now would it?"

She smiled weekly. "Yes, it is his. He gave it to me this morning because he saw that I was cold. It was a perfectly gentleman- like act." She gave the boy in front of her a hard stare.

He 'humphed'. "I could have done that." He crossed his arms over his chest and looked towards the street.

"But you didn't because you weren't there." She replied, still staring at his face.

"Well call for me next time! I'll come to you as fast as possible!"

"What on Earth do you have against Inuyasha, Kouga? He was only trying to be nice to me!" She balled her fists and waited expectantly for an answer. "Well?"

He faced her. "Look Kagome, I don't want you to get hurt. He hurts everyone, and I don't want him to get to you too! Just- I don't want you to be sad, and I know that's the only thing he can give to you Kagome, sadness and pain. You don't deserve it! And as long as you associate with him, there's no way to avoid those feelings!"

She was about to respond when he planted a rough kiss on her lips. She felt an odd tickling sensation from the contact. But you don't get it! When I'm with him, the pain is worth it! For every bad thing he does, he does something so much better! I think I'm in love with him and I'll suffer any emotion to be with him, whatever it takes. She then realized that he hadn't heard her, that she hadn't said anything at all, and that now they were kissing.

She pushed against his chest and separated them. "Kagome?" She saw a lost look in his eyes. He appeared to be…sad. Kouga? And then hemoved to kiss her again.

"Stop it!" He jumped. Even she was surprised by the angry tone of her voice.

Kagome what is it? He found himself wanting to say, but he couldn't risk getting the answer he didn't want.

"Kouga!?" Both of their heads spun around. There was a confused, angry Inuyasha. He was standing on the sidewalk, his white uniform shirt un-tucked, and his school bag's contents spilled on the sidewalk. He looked from Kouga, whose arms were reaching out to Kagome, and then to Kagome you looked angry, and at the same time as if she was backing away from the other's grasp. "You bastard! Are you trying to force yourself on her?!"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Yea, because of technical difficulties, I'm using this as my separator '!!!' So this means a new section. But sometimes I'll use a row of A's too, so, well, you get the picture!)

Same Day, Different Place:

"Ah ha! I found it!" She exclaimed to herself as she dug through the glove department in her car. It was rather surprising that she had found anything speaking as the whole vehicle was filled with papers, files, envelopes, clothes, food…and well, you get the picture. The '96 Saturn SL2 was filled with enough items to be considered a small store.

She held an old quarter out of the side window, smiling up at the recipient. The man cracked an amused smirk. He took the quarter and gave the woman a bag. "Here's your hamburger, no onions, extra lettuce, have a good day and be sure to come to Burger King again soon!" A fake smile was plastered across his face, what she assumed they taught people in his profession to do on day one. I wish they'd stop pretending to be happy, every one knows that a man his age is desperate if he has to work at a place like this. But then again, I guess that's why they always tell you to go to college so you can get a decent job! She checked the bag's contents, not that a simple order such as hers could possibly get messed up, and then she drove off.

"So…I have a meeting in ten minutes, and then I have to go see my client, and then…I have a date!" She smiled to herself as she parked her car. She opened the bag and grabbed her sandwich. "Mmm, I've been waiting for this all day!" She unwrapped the foil. She raised the sandwich to her mouth. She took a bite. "Yu-uck!" She grimaced and threw the sandwich down. "What the hell was that? It certainly wasn't what I ordered!" She looked down at the fish patty. "Well at least I know what it is now, but I hate fish!" She sighed and rested her head against the door.

She looked at her watch, speaking, as the car's clock didn't work. She was a little early, but it isn't like there was anything better for her to do now. She flipped the visor down and looked at her reflection. Well, I almost look professional today! She thought to herself as she brushed her hair back. Well, as professional as a girl living in her car can look…

Yes, that's right. She lived in her car; fortunately it hadn't been for long. She had just moved to this town. She was staying at a motel, but she couldn't afford it anymore, so, here she was, in her car.

So far the situation isn't looking good for Inuyasha. His fingerprints are on the weapon, strands of his hair at the crime scene, I don't know what I can do. Everything is against him. The only thing I know is that he is NOT lying. He doesn't have a good alibi, but, I don't know...all I am sure of is that he is innocent. If only the judge could see his eyes the same way I saw him. He told me that he didn't kill the boy, he looked me straight in the eye with so much honesty, so much respect,...so much truth. That is why I cannot believe that he is guilty, those eyes... She readjusted herself in her seat and looked out the window. There wasn't much traffic outside today. That was pretty unusual. It was three o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon, parents should be driving their kids home by now.

She tapped her fingers against the stearing wheel. Can I really do this? Am I good enough to defend this kid? I mean, he IS suspected of murder- not to mention the State has evidence against him. She sighed. I just don't know anymore. I used to be good at this, especially for someone my age, but well, if I'm so good at this why am I living from my car? Oh yea... It's because I'm TOO young, that makes it look like I have no experience...and my past doesn't help much eather. Urg! Sango, stop thinking like this! You- I- can do this!!

She looked at the time. I better go in. She removed her keys from the ignition. The car was silent, but for the ocassional pops coming from under the hood. She unbuckled herself and stepped out of the car. It's now or nothing. I have to defend him. She stood up straight. He said I should look for signs of framing, okay...but exactly how do I look for that? She adjusted her maroon suit. She then made her way inside the large white building.

Several minutes later...

It was a croweded room, but at least she had finally found it. She took a seat to the left of the room. She was the only one in that area.

"Hello Miss!" Came a perky voice from behind her. She jumped up in her chair and slowly turned her body to see the speeking person. It was a man. He wasn't the tallest, around 5' 10", she assumed- and he wasn't the ugliest either. He had dark brown hair that was pulled into a small ponytail behind his head. His dark eyes which were surrounded by thick lashes gazed at her.

"Yes?" Who's he? What does he want?

"Mind if I sit here?" he pointed to the chair adjacent to hers.

She squinched her eyes at him. "Sure, it doesn't really matter to me." You know- now that I think about it, he kind of does look familiar, who is he?

She looked around the room. The D. A. (District Attorney) was staring at her angrily. Is she trying to scare me about the case?

The mother of the murder victim was sitting in the front row of seats. She was staring blankly at the wall. Her husband, or the man next to her, wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She rested her head against his.

Inuyasha said that some other kid from the school was the one who killed the boy. He said that that kid wasn't going to be here, the kid knew, or thought he knew that he wasn't going to get into any trouble. Well, I'll try to prove him wrong.

Inuyasha said he was a member of some gang. Well, if it's a gang killing other kids off, then it wouldn't be the first time this kind of thing happened, I should know. Those bastards, I will do my best to have them convicted, and to save Inuyasha as well.

Some man came into the room. "Alright, I have the images of the crime scene. If you are involved in this case, this won't be the only time you see these, however, if you are doing this for...recreation" The tall man paused and scanned over the room. He stopped when he saw the man next to her. He cleared his throat and continued, "This will be your only chance to preview this information." he placed a clear sheet over a humming projector. "Enjoy." He left the room. Five clear images swept across the white wall. (Yea, I know this isn't how it works, but give me a break, I'm 14 for crying out loud!)

Sango looked at the pictures in front of her. All she could see was a chalk outline and a gun. "So what are you here for?" She was startled by the voice again.

She turned to the side. "I'm the defendant's attorney." He stared at her face for a moment.

"You look awefully young to be a lawyer, but then again, so does Koharu." He nodded towards the right side of the room. There was her current enemy, the district attorney.

"Yea, I guess." She agreed.

"So...I've been reading on the case. All signs point to your man. He has no alibi and his prints are at the crime. How can you defend someone like that?"

She raised an eyebrow. What an odd question. " Because when he told me that he was innocent, I had to believe him."

"Why is that?" He gave her a curious look.

"Because I couldn't see his lie, he was perfectly honest." He nodded his head.

"I've never met the kid, but I think he's innocent." he blurted out.

She turned to him. "Really? Is that so? Why?" Now she was interested.

"It's all too obvious. He may have been in high school, but he couldn't be that stupid! he would have known better than to leave the weapon at the scene of the crime. And besides, he's a hanyou, there's no way he could be in a rush, it's not like he ran an dropped the gun or something. Naturally he's faster than any man." She nodded. The man continued his argument. He's good. She then took notes...(Okay so she is being a bit of an ameteur...)

The man returned to the room and took the image off the projector. "That will be all for now. Have a good evening."

As if on cue, the mother cried, "How can I do that! My son is dead! Dead! And he was only 15!..." Her husband whispered into her ear, and they slowly walked out of the room.

Sango stood up and looked down at the notes she had written. "Thank you so much, it's like I've been brain dead for this case. And you make all these things sound so obvious." And it seems like I've known someone just like you before... She held out her hand.

"Not a problem, I only want to help justice be served." He took her hand. "Now, I would like to introduce myself..."

And that's when it clicked. So THAT'S who it is! I can't believe it, and he was such a gentleman too! She slapped him on the cheek; he jumped back in response.

"What the-"

"Miroku! You haven't changed since highschool! Except it takes you a bit longer to get on a woman!" She stormed out of the room. That jackass! What's he doing here!

"How'd you- but...do you know me?" He asked no one, now that he was alone in the room. Who are you? I can't remember... He thought about the strange, now familiar girl.

Back to Kagome:

Inuyasha fumed. "How could you even think of doing that to Kagome?" His voice was trembling and she could tell he was angry.

"Dog breath, get a life. I was not forcing myself on her, you just came in at the wrong time." The wolf demon smirked.

"Wrong time? I don't think there's a right time, not when she's gringing away from you like that!" He looked at Kagome who hadn't moved from her position.

"Get a life Inuyasha, stop being so jealous. You know that you're only going to hurt her again." His smile only grew wider. Inuyasha's eyes formed into small slits.

"Why I oughtta!" Inuyasha pounced on the other man.

What are they talking about? Thought Kagome. She moved for the first time, cupping her hands in front of her body. Why are they fighting? Wait! They're getting hurt! She began to yell at them to stop. They seemed deaf, blocking all signs that weren't from themselves.

The two had been fightinig for a while now, and she could do nothing to stop it. She had been screaming on the top of her lungs, but not even a passer-by would stop. Did Kouga and Inuyasha used to fight like this? I knew they didn't like each other much, but could I really have been that blind?

Kagome thought to herself helplessy as the two boys bruised each other. She could actually smell blood, and she was standing yards away.

"We'll settle this next time dog face!" Kouga spat as he was able to free himself from the hanyou. He kicked the hanyou in the chest, a loud thud sounding. Then Kouga sped down the street. Inuyasha tried to jump after him, but he only cringed from the pain in his ribs.

"Ugh." He gasped weakly.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as she ran towards him. Her eyes were big.

He could feel the warmth of her arms as they encircled him. "Kagome..."

"I'm going back to school to get you some bandages, STAY HERE!" She exlaimed as she ran down the pathway.

Kagome, please stop it. I don't want to hurt you again, and this is how it all starts: me being helpless, and you trying to save me. He thought as he stood up and ran in the opposite direction. Maybe if a make you sad enough just one time, you'll be too afraid to come back to me... That's what he wanted to believe as he ran off.

Almost there... She thought. She was almost to the office. She passed the ladies restroom and saw a pair of gray sneakers. Those could only be shoes of the janitor, she knew that much. Oh look, the new janitor! I should say hi, but I have to help Inuyasha, the janitor can wait.

The man in the doorway just replaced a picture in his pocket. Mother...If I could find you again.... he patted his chest pocket, where he had placed the picture. He heard retreateing steps in the hall. He looked out.

A girl? He thought as he saw the skirted figure. Her ebony hair followed her body. As she rounded the corner he could see her light skin.He could almost see the shape of her face. Mother?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ten Minutes later, still with Kagome:

It had taken a long time for her to get the bandages, or at least that's how it seemed to her under the pressure. "Inuyasha!" She exclaimed as she rounded the corner. But to her surprise he was not there. She placed the bandages on the ground. And walked home. "If that's wat you want, for now so be it."

Inuyasha, why do you always insist on leaving me? Do you not understand? I will follow you where ever you go.

Gee...I hope this Chapter didn't go by too quickly...please review!!! I can't make any adjustments until you tell me what you like or donn't like about it!

Note: The second section is about Sango. This story takes place in the US, it's not horribly important that it's in the States, but I still put it there. The deal is, when someone is suspect of murder, there is no plantiff, it's the state versus the defendent. Koharu is the district attorney, she is representing the state.

Inuyasha is being accused of murder. because his family doesn't have much money, he is given a state appointed lawyer, Sango, to represent him. She is chosen because she had proved herself a good lawyer, but because of her reputation she is forced to be an independent lawyer, making it hard for her to find jobs, that's why she lives in her car.

Okay? Have any questions? Please Review!
