Note: This is MY FIRST Inu/Kik Fic Enjoy… Roses Inu: 10 and Kikyou: 8

Walking slowly towards the sunrise, a young girl with tattered clothes and wounds all over walked down a path that led to a dead end. A cliff was at the dead-end. She looked down and saw a village down there. With a bow in one hand and arrows on her back, the young girl collapsed with her cheek touching her ground... She fell unconscious.

A young hanyou ran across the forest silently. All of a sudden he saw a young girl who had been unconscious. The young hanyou landed next to the girl and examined her. 'What happened to this girl?' HE thought. He looked around and saw a village below the cliff. He then noticed that her clothes had been tattered and she has been wounded.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw the young hanyou staring at her. She screamed and aimed for the hanyou, "Stay back! I'll Shoot! I swear I will." The young girl had fright in her eyes and tried hard not to show it, but still had a little bit of courage left in her. She was scared to death. She heard no answer and asked something else, "Who are you?"

The hanyou replied, "Don't shoot. You'll miss for sure. I'm Inuyasha. I found you on the ground and I wanted to help! But you so stubborn." The hanyou saw the fear in her eyes and continued, "I won't kill you."

The girl then replied, "I'm, Kikyou, soon to be a priestess." She then dropped her bow and arrow and went down to her knees, "I don't need you help. I'm fine." Tears then started to come out of the girl's frighten face. She looked down and had a suffering face, and soon collapsed in pain still conscious.

Inuyasha quickly got the young girl and ran to his hut… He silently ran to his hut and put her down on the ground. Soon enough, Kikyou had damp cloths on all of her wounds. HE then went to fetch something to eat for her and himself.

It was midday and Kikyou slowly opened her eyes and blinked. She saw fire and Inuyasha cooking fish. 'Why? Why is he being so nice to me?' she thought. She mumbled, "Thank You, so much." She smiled at him.

Inuyasha secretly blushed and put a plate of fish next to her, "You're Welcome." He then said, "Can you feed yourself or not yet?" He saw the girl signal him no. He sat next to her and started to feed her.

When Kikyou said that she was full, she looked around the hut and saw that the hanyou lived alone. She then asked, "How come you live by yourself, Inuyasha. Are you an orphan like me?" She then started to see that Inuyasha had sadness in his eyes and he nodded a yes. She then all, of a sudden hugged him and said, "Don't cry. I lost my parents by a slaughter. My entire village was slaughtered. I'm the only one that survived. And to think, that all of that happened in one second. And on the same day I met you..." They looked at each other until he broke the silence and said, "Would you like to live with me?" Kikyou smiled and looked at him, "I do…"
