FLASHBACK

It was dark, too dark to see anything really. She couldn't find her way home but being so smashed how is it possible anyway. She was 15 and drunk. This wasn't anything new though. She stumbled into a dark alley checking to see if anyone's there.

"Hello?" She called into the darkness.

"Yeah, what do you want pip squeak?" A man called from the dark.

"Can you help me?" She asked walked closer to him.

"Help you what?"

"Find my way home..."

The man came out from the darkness into the light of a burning barrel. "Oh, you're cute... Too bad I can't help you..."

"Oh... Ok then, bye"

"Not so fast little lady..." He said grabbing her arm.

"Get off me! What do you want!" She said shaking him off.

He grabbed her and held her close to him. She was about to scream when she felt something cold against her neck. It was a gun.

"Scream and I'll shoot" he whispered in her ear.

"Please don't hurt me." She wimpered.

"I won't, I won't, all I need you to do is give me all the money you got."

She shuddered as she reached into her pocket and retrieved a 50 dollar bill. He grabbed it and stuffed it in his pocket.

"Is this all you have?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm only 15."

He slapped her in the face and shook his head. "You're a disgrace!" He raised his arm to hit her again but stopped.

She looked up at him. He had a look of terror on his face, he was staring at the road.

She looked behind her at the policeman standing there. He held up the gun, pointing it at the man.

"Drop the weapon!" He demanded.

The man obeyed at once.

"Let the girl go!" He yelled.

The man looked from Kagome to the policeman. He shoved her towards the cop.

"Come with me sir!"

The man looked behind him at the fence. He took no second guess but ran over and scaled the fence, the cop chased after him. Kagome watched helplessly as the man was taken down by the agile officer. The cop cuffed him and dragged him back to car.

"Do you need a ride home Miss?" He asked Kagome politely.

She nodded and got in the front. She was shaking the whole way home. She refused to look in the back seat where the man who could have killed her sat.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Kagome shook the feeling that came over her. She had been through quite and ordeal but she lived through it... Luckily.

She heard footsteps coming up the hall and then a knock on her door.

"Come in." She said trying to shake the quiver in her voice.

Inuyasha opened the door and looked in at her.

"Hey are you okay?" He said seeing the tears starting to form in her eyes.

She wiped her eyes and nodded. He walked over to where she was sitting on the window sill.

"You know, it may sound corny but I think that we have a special connection... I think you're one of the few people who can understand me."

She nodded and looked deep into his eyes. Seeing the pain dwelling there but also the joy and the hope. At the same time he was also finding her soul through her eyes. He noticed a sense of uncertainty that was hardly noticable when talking to her. He noticed pain, something like his own.

"Are you positive there's nothing wrong?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Huh? Oh, there's just something in your eyes that tells me somethings wrong... Please tell me?"

She looked at him and decided he was worth trusting and nodded. "Okay..."

She explained the entire story without looking at him.

"And that's it..." She finished and for the first time in 10 minutes she looked him in the face.

He wore an expression of understanding only her mother had worn before. He embraced her.

"It'll be okay... You're a tough girl."

She smiled sliently in his arms. "Thanks... So what did grandpa want?"

"Nothing really... Just kind of asking me a few questions about how I'm gonna get my rent and stuff like that..."

"I can't believe he put you on the spot like that at dinner!"

"Don't worry about it Kagome!"

"Well it wasn't fair to you!"

"Shhh... Calm down..." He said putting one finger over his lips.

She looked at him and pushed his hand away. "Sorry... So what do you want to do?"

"How about we go to a movie? My treat?"

"Really? Now where do you thnk you'll get the money?"

"I have a little... Besides we've got to celebrate!"

She looked sheepishly at him but shrugged her shoulders. "Alright... Just let me change my shirt... I think I got soy sauce on it."

"Ok then I'll go wait for you."

She nodded and he turned and left. She took of her shirt and opened the drawer looking for one. She pick out a black one with White letters that read. FCK YO... Wanna buy a vowel? On it

She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She nodded and left, not wanting to keep Inuyasha waiting.

She went into the living room looking for him, but he wasn't there. She looked into the kitchen and dining room, once again he wasn't there. She thought for a minute and then she figured it out, she walked to Souta's room and sure enough, there, sitting on the floor creaming Souta in a racing game, sat Inuyasha.

He looked up to where she was standing in the doorway. "Well, that was fast," he said pausing the game.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't interrupt your game did I?" She asked rolling her eyes.

He smiled sheepishly and got up. "Maybe later ok Souta?"

"See you later Inuyasha!"

Kagome and Inuyasha walked out of the house grabbing a light jacket each on the way out.

"He's a good kid!"

She smiled. "Yeah, except when he's annoying..."

Inuyasha laughed at her. They were walking along, talking about virtually everything. Then they came to the movie theatre.

"So which one do you want to see?" He asked looking up the the features.

"Well... Umm... What about Boogeyman?" She asked looking at him.

"You like horror?"

"Of course!"

He looked at her with a broad grin. "I love you!" He said joking.

She laughed and they walked over to the ticket booth.

"Could I have 2 tickets to Boogeyman?" He asked looking in his wallet for the money.

"Hello little brother..."

Inuyasha looked up at once. "You!" He yelled, "You broke Kagome's wrist you monster!"

Sesshomaru sneered and pulled out a gun. "What of it?" He put the gun through the spreaker hole and shot Inuyasha. (Sorry... This is killing me to shoot him:( !)

Kagome screamed as did everyone else in the area. Sesshomaru put the gun back in his pocket and ran away.

Kagome rushed over and called the ambulance with her cell phone. "Please come quick my friend has been shot!"

The drivewr was there in moment and she rode with him to the hospital, praying it wasn't too late...
