Hello my friends. How are you on this uh.. night lol. Well, I got a three day weekend and since I finished work for the day, I thought I'd go about writing this chapter. Hmm... what shall happen in this chapter? Oh I'll just have to write as it comes to me. Oh.. there was a question... it was if Miroku will show up in this fic again. (Thinks) Well... telling you would spoil it, but by me just saying that it's makes it rather clear to y'all that he does... heh heh heh, or am I just saying that? Gee... ain't I a mind twister? And angelamisaki... wow... why most all my new fics need a bisexual/Gay/lesbian person? lol. I mean come on... it isn't that funny is it? I don't know where I'd put them in this fic. Anyways! Thanks you everyone who has reviewed. Now let's get on with this nay?
Disclaimer- Crap! Not another evil disclaimer! Grrr...... (Crosses arms and mumbles) I dun own Inuyasha.
A Single Shot
One of Inuyasha's all time favorite things, besides having money, is spending the money at a Mc Donalds. After all, what's better than having fast food. Inuyasha's all time favorite meals is definitely the ten piece chicken selects. To him, the chicken selects is the most brilliant idea since the idea of a national currency. After having the pleasure of eating one of his favorite foods, Inuyasha makes his way to his place.
Looking around the area, Inuyasha slips into the abandon warehouse that he has claimed his home for the time being. Walking pass some empty crates, Inuyasha climbs up the old metal stairs that let out a disapproving creaking noise with each step he takes. The pickpocket makes his way to the back of the second floor where he sleeps. He soon arrives at his bed, an old mattress he found on the streets that's probably more uncomfortable to sleep on then the ground.
At the side of the bed sits a single box that acts as his nightstand, resting on top of it is some of the things he keeps that he's stolen. A pack of cigarettes he stolen, though he's not a heavy smoker, he does from time to time. Next to the cigarettes sits a lighter that he stole from a fat lady that had three kids with her. A flashlight from a street worker, although the battery is dead. There's a broken pocket watch that he still doesn't know why he keeps around and a book that for the life of him, can't read since most of the words in the book is beyond his vocabulary.
Inuyasha walks onto the mattress and sits down on it, he kicks off his dirty sneakers and takes off his jacket. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the necklace that he's been carrying around. He holds the necklace up, his eyes admiring the golden chain and the green emerald. A smirk plays across his face at the thought of being able to rob a cop.
He places the necklace on his makeshift nightstand before glancing out one of the dirty windows. Seeing the sun still out, he decides to try and sleep so he's ready to go out later. Yawning he takes off his shirt, wincing a bit when he raises his arms, distressing the wound in his shoulder. Once the shirt is off he stares at the bandage over his wound. "Damn thing itches like a bitch." Inuyasha says before he begins pulling the bandage off.
Inuyasha blinks in surprise at the wound on his shoulder. Evidently, the cop that bandaged up his shoulder, had also gone as far as stitching the wound with what suspiciously looks like fishing line. Inuyasha sits there and debates with himself whether or not to take out the stitches. After a moment of thought he decides to keep them in since he probably needs them and they aren't really bothering him anyway. Laying down on his springy mattress, Inuyasha closes his eyes and goes to sleep.

Sango lets out a sigh as she watches people, from her patrol car, walk passed the alley. Two hours she has waited for any sign of the thief who stole her necklace, and still she has not seen him. 'Perhaps he'll come through tomorrow.' Sango thinks to herself. With a depressed sigh, the police officer starts up her car and drives away. Sango's gaze wonders to the sidewalks as she stares at the many people she passes by.
Her thoughts go to Inuyasha. She asked around the area if anyone knew a man fitting his description but sadly, everyone she asked had no idea who he is. It seems the pickpocket knows how to keep himself hidden from everyone, that or he rarely is in this area. Sango kept telling herself that she's going to get her necklace back, but how is she suppose to catch someone who doesn't leave a single clue to his whereabouts?
She's left completely lost until something shows up. She still doesn't understand why he had to steal the necklace. Couldn't he of stolen something more valuable? Well technically, to Sango, there isn't anything more valuable then the necklace her little brother gave her. Her brother, not a day goes by where she wishes she wakes up to see him realizing that everything was a dream and he's still with her. Yet, everyday she wakes up, it's the same thing. She walks into his room and stares at an empty bed.
Sango reverts her gaze back out in front of her. Her eyes immediately widen as she sees a pedestrian crossing the road in front of her. She slams her foot on the brake, making the car screech to a stop, nearly hitting the man in front of her. She quickly gets out of her car as the man stands at his spot, "I'm so sorry!" Sango apologizes immediately, "I wasn't watching where I was going."
"....." The man doesn't make a response, his face remaining expressionless.
Sango tilts her head to the side as she stares at the man questioningly. Her brows lower in confusion, 'He looks familiar... but not.. Great... now I'm confusing myself.' The man just stares coldly at Sango, making a chill go down her spine. She doesn't know why, but she just felt the need to ask for some strange reason, "Have you heard of a thief named Inuyasha?"
".......No." The man replies harshly before he turns around and begins walking away.
Sango doesn't know how long she stood there watching the man walk away, only that she watched him long enough to watch him disappear into the crowds. She's brought out of her gaze by the horns honking by the many cars behind her patrol car that's stopped in the middle of the street. Sango quickly runs back into her car and continues driving, making sure to keep her eyes on the road this time.

Inuyasha stands, waiting patiently in night, at one of his usual alleys. That's right, the alleys are his. At least he likes to think so, after all, he's been the top thief around this part of town. Then again, Inuyasha hasn't really seen another thief besides himself around town either. 'At least it isn't raining.' Inuyasha thinks to himself. The last thing he needs is to get sick when he's still trying to get over his last cold.
Despite the fact that there doesn't seem to be anyone on the streets, Inuyasha can't shake the feeling that he's being watched. Ever since he left his place it seemed like someone was following him. Every time he stopped to check out his surroundings though, there wasn't anyone around. Inuyasha settled with the fact that it's all in his head, it's not the first time that he's acted paranoid. Being a pickpocket kind of makes you think there's always someone chasing you.
Dirt and stone hit the ground at Inuyasha's side, making him jump away from the wall in surprise. He quickly looks up to the top of the building but the light hanging above blinds his vision. He shields his eyes from the light with his left hand, "What the..." Inuyasha shakes his head thinking he saw something or someone up top. 'There's no one there." Inuyasha tells himself. Dropping his arm at his side, Inuyasha turns his head quickly outside of the alley as someone walks by. Inuyasha smirks and begins walking out of the alley.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the pathetic pickpocket."
Inuyasha stops in his tracks, recognizing the voice almost instantly. Inuyasha slowly turns around to see the man from two nights before, "Well if it isn't Wolfie." Inuyasha says after seeing Koga. He scans the three other men behind Koga, "And are they part of your pack?" Inuyasha asks, his voice taunting.
Amusement flashed through Koga's blue eyes, "I thought you died when you got ran over by that cop." Koga begins laughing, "You yelped like a dog! That's what you are... a mangy mutt."
Inuyasha crosses his arms over his chest, his violet eyes narrowing into a cold glare, "Look you jackass, I don't have time to play, so why don't you and your little friends go elsewhere?"
Koga slowly pulls out his blade he used against Inuyasha in their last fight, "Because I'm here to finish an uncompleted job."
Inuyasha stares at Koga for a moment before glancing to each of the men behind him, each having an excited smile across their faces. Inuyasha glances back to Koga, "What's the matter Wolfie? Need help with your fights?"
A smirk plays across Koga's face, "Don't misunderstand. I will be the only one fighting you, the rest are here to watch me kill you." Koga gives out a laugh, "I'll be doing this city a favor getting rid of worthless scum like you."
In an instant, Inuyasha is charging at Koga, having heard enough of him. Without a weapon, Inuyasha is at a disadvantage, however, if he can just disarm his opponent he'll have a better chance. though Inuyasha doubts Koga's lackeys will stay out of the fight.

'There's nothing better than having a warm cup of coffee on a late night.' Sango thinks to herself as she walks out of the Dunkin Donuts with her French Vanilla coffee in her right hand. Being a police officer can be exhausting at times, especially on late nights. Sango hates the late nights, she'd rather be home sleeping.
Sango puts her lips to the rim of her Styrofoam cup and sips her coffee, 'Mmm... that's better.' Sango walks over to her squad car, as she gets closer she hears her radio going off. Sango quickens her stride to her car, she puts her cup on the hood of the car and reaches in through her open window to grab the radio, "I'm here, what's the emergency."
"Pshhh.... Calls of disturbance have been reported coming from the alley on Third Street Pshhh..."
"Alright I'll check it out." Sango replies before jumping into her car. She starts the car and drives off, her coffee falling onto the street behind her. 'Why does that place sound familiar?' Sango thinks to herself while driving. After a moment the answer comes to her, 'That's where I hit that thief! Maybe it's him.' The thought alone makes Sango drive faster.

'Damnit...' Inuyasha glares at Koga as he takes a couple of deep breaths, trying to catch his strength. Though he wasn't able to disarm Koga yet, he did manage to find a two by four in the alley to defend himself with. Though Koga has managed to dodge most of the swings Inuyasha has attempted. The men that are with Koga have indeed stayed out of the fight thus far, settling with cheering Koga on.
Koga dashes towards Inuyasha. The pickpocket brings back his right foot, bracing himself for the oncoming attack. He pulls the two by four back, and at the last moment, swings with all his might. Koga raises his arms up to shield his head, the impact of the blow causing him to lose hold of his blade and nearly fall to the ground.
Inuyasha draws back the two by four again, ready to hit Koga. He swings it, but instead off Koga trying to block or dodge the attack he reaches into his jacket and pulls out a pistol. Inuyasha's eyes widen in surprise, he twists his wrists, redirecting his attack. He hits Koga's pistol, making a round shoot off to the side before the gun hits the ground a few feet away.
Koga runs for the pistol, Inuyasha immediately drops the two by four and tries to beat Koga to it. Both men lunge at the discarded pistol, each getting their hands on it. They wrestle on the ground trying to get the upper hand, they ignore the sound of the police siren, quickly making it's way to the alley.
"Koga! The cops are coming!" One of Koga's friends shouts.
"Let's get the hell out of here!" Another one says before the three of them take off, leaving Inuyasha and Koga behind.
------
Sango's squad car screeches to a stop as she makes it to the alley, she quickly jumps out of the car and shines a flashlight down the alley. That's where she saw the two men, on their feet, both trying to pry a gun out of the other's grip. One she doesn't know but the one who's back is to her, she'd never mistaken. 'It's him!' Sango thinks. "Inuyasha!" She shouts. Inuyasha hears someone scream his name from behind him, he twists, turning him and Koga around. A gun shot fills the air, deafening everyone momentarily, someone has died...
