When I came home, I was greeted by the usual words. 'Ugly wretch, wicked girl, freeloader, etc.' but luckily I made it through dinner fine. When dinner ended, my parents went to sleep leaving me with the dishes. I cleaned the table and washed the dishes. I also took out the trash and then suddenly I felt someone grab me from behind.
My attacker turned me around to face him. It was the same boy I met in the alley. He had long silver white hair flowing down his back and beautiful golden amber eyes. He also had two white and furry dog ears on top of his head. I began to panic. "I gave you all my money already! What more do you want from me?" He raised a finger to his lips and tried to shush me. I felt one of my attacks coming on. I started to hyperventilate and couldn't breathe. I was beginning to black out.
Inuyasha looked at the girl who looked like she was going to die. "Oh my god! Are you okay?" This time it was the girl's turn to shake her head no. Then she collapsed in his arms. Inuyasha didn't know what to do but he had to save her life. He began to give her mouth to mouth. "Come on," he whispered to her. "Breathe. Don't die on me." After a while she began coughing and opened her eyes.
I opened my eyes and saw a blurry object heading towards me. Then I felt something soft pressing against my lips and I felt a gust of air. Then I realized the boy was giving me air. I couldn't believe what was happening. I blushed and gently pushed him away. "Thank you for saving me. I'm okay now."
The boy turned slightly red. "Uhh…you're welcome. You kind of scared me there."
"Sorry about that. Well, what is it that you want from me?"
"Here." He handed me back the same ten dollars I had given him. I looked up at him. "No, it's okay. Keep it. I think you need it or you wouldn't have tried to rob me." He shook his head. "No. I just wanted to borrow it. I don't take charity. Well, goodbye."
Just as he walked away, I heard his stomach grumble. I bit my tongue so I wouldn't laugh. Since he didn't take charity, I said, "Um, hey. I just made some food and I don't know if it's good or not. I need a guinea pig because I don't want to serve it to my parents if it isn't and besides, you did save my life.
Inuyasha looked at her. 'Why is she being so nice to me?' he thought. He knew she was just saying that because she heard him say he doesn't want charity. Inuyasha's stomach was growling like crazy. He hasn't eaten for 2 days already and the mention of food was killing him. "Uh, okay. I guess I'll be your guinea pig since I have nothing to do." He studied her face as she smiled at him. She had dark chocolate brown eyes and black hair flowing just pass her shoulders. 'She's pretty,' he thought as he smiled back.
I let the boy wait outside as I got some of the leftover onigiri for him. He finished it in less than a minute. Then he leaned back and sighed. Out of nowhere, he let out a burp. I had to giggle. He looked at me and smiled. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay."
I hesitated before I asked him the next question. "Umm…so what's your name?" He glanced at me and then stared at the ground. I could tell he was debating to tell me his real name or not. I didn't want him to feel obligated to telling me his name. "It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Inuyasha looked at her surprised. "No! It isn't that!" he yelled. She stared back at him surprised too. Then he lowered his voice. "I'm sorry. Please don't misunderstand." She nodded her head slowly and Inuyasha could tell that she was confused. Inuyasha felt that he could trust her and he wanted her to be his friend.
"My name is Inuyasha Takahashi and you are?"
"I'm Kagome Higurashi." Then she gave him the sweetest smile. Inuyasha felt his heart beat a little faster when she smiled at him. He blushed and looks away. "So uh, how old are you?"
"15," she replied. "And you Inuyasha?"
He smiled when she called him that. "I'm 17," he said turning back to look at her.
"17?" I asked in disbelief.
Inuyasha nodded. "Where are your parents? You're too young to be living in the streets." He shrugged his shoulders. "I can take care of myself." I gave him a doubting look because he was trying to pull that tough guy act on me. "It's okay though," he told me. "I have a family. It's just that things are bad at home so I'm just getting away from it for a while." 'So he ran away,' I figured out.
I could tell that Inuyasha was a good person. "Do you have a place to stay tonight?" He shook his head. "How about staying in my room then," I offered.
Inuyasha couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Kagome. 'Did she just offer him a place to stay?' "Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she waved a hand in front of his face. "Are you okay?"
Inuyasha shook his head and snapped out of it. She placed her hand on his knee. "Inuyasha, I asked if you want to stay in my room for tonight." Inuyasha was so touched that he felt his heartache. No one had ever cared about him so much but he didn't want to feel as though he owed her. "No thanks."
Kagome looked at him with her big sad eyes. "Please Inuyasha? I'm afraid of the dark." Inuyasha smiled. He knew she was lying so he would say yes. For the first time in his life, Inuyasha felt warm inside because now he is wanted. He let out a sigh. "Alright Kagome, okay. You talked me into it. But just for tonight though." She giggled and nodded.
"Okay."
Authors Note: o0o…he saved her (I knew that was coming ;). Well? Is it getting good or what? Hmm…Inuyasha is going to be sleeping in the same room as Kagome! Wonder how this will turn out…nothing will happen though… anyways…please review. Also, I would like to thank Yusuke brat for being my very first reviewer. When I saw that review, my heart filled with joy. I was like 'omq…a review!' I would also like to thank In Young Kang and kittykat for reviewing. I'm really happy to know that some people are reading my fanfic. So, enough of my chit chat…please review.
