Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the other awesome characters made by the almighty Rimiko Takahashi.

Kagome sat in a bar; it was the same bar she sat in every night. She never got drunk there; she would just have a bloody Mary and then head home, but tonight was different. Kagome slammed the shot glass down for the hundredth time that night. She was drunk and the bartender knew it, "Come on Lady Kagome go home. You've had enough." Kagome sighed and reached into her purse to pay, "Don't worry Kagome I'll put it on your tab." Nodding Kagome stood and stumbled out of the bar.

Kagome walked down a small alley, unaware of all the eyes watching her. Had she been sober she wouldn't have ever gone down that particular alley. Kagome hit a trash can falling over with it. Kagome heard laughing, so she laughed with them, it really was actually funny that she fell even to herself. "Well, well, well, looky at what stumbled into our turf, fellas!" said a tall man with a short bowl hair cut.

"Yeah boss, she be hot, sir." Said a scrawny, short, shaggy haired guy.

"You think, Toishi? What do you think of her, Kamaru?" said the man called boss.

"Honestly, Tashimaru, I don't give a flying fuck what you think of the bitch. It's just another woman." Said Kamaru, plainly, not even looking at Kagome.

Toishi's mouth dropped, and Tashimaru just rolled his eyes, "You know sometimes I think you're gay.

"Why, because Tashimaru got another woman and I'm not impressed with it? Don't you see Toishi; we never get to touch the women, so why should I care?" Kamaru said bluntly.

The three men started to argue and Kagome saw this as a sign to run and she pushed herself up, but the moment she started to move Tashimaru was on top of her holding her hands above her head, "Now were do you think you're going little missy?" Kagome started to struggle but it was no use, he was much stronger than she was.

"Let me go you bastard! Do you know who I am? I am Kagome Sakura Hiragashi! (Yeah I know that that is a part of my name but you will understand why I used it in a little while.) Now get off me!" Kagome screamed as she kicked and fought.

Tashimaru stared down at her with an evil grin on his face, "That makes everything even better. Do you know why "Miss" Hiragashi?" Tashimaru leaned down to her face close enough to kiss her, and whispered, "That means you're a virgin." Kagome's eyes widened and she started to scream louder, till Toishi's hand cupped over her mouth.

"Here boss, have some fun."

Tashimaru started kissing her neck and rubbing her breasts, while his other hand was holding her arms above her head. Suddenly Tashimaru went flying into a nearby trash can, who was soon fallowed by Toishi and Kamaru. "Didn't your momma teach you to be good to the ladies?" said a very familiar voice from above Kagome. She knew this voice, but from where. Kagome heard the three men gasp and then run off.

Suddenly two slender, yet strong hands grabbed Kagome's sides, pulling her up. These hands caused her to scream, kick, bit, and hit, all at the same time. "Kagome, it's ok, calm down." Her hero said as if he knew her. His voice, though rough, sounded calm and gentle, as if him and Kagome had once loved, but the love was now lost. The sound of his voice caused Kagome to calm down and allow him to help her up. The moment she stood her skirt fell, shredded, to the ground, her hero sighed, and gently wrapped his coat around her waist covering her exposed thong.

With the exposed thong Kagome's hero sigh and grumbled something under his breath, but wrapped a red soft jacket around Kagome's waist, who was stumbling around miserably, considering she was still drunk. "Ha-ha, you know this… Hic… ear jacket is a lot war…Hic…mer than it loo…Hic!"

"Yeah, it is made of a special kind of fur that is very rare." Kagome's hero said as he put his arm around her to help her stay on her feet. "You know it is dangerous to be out in this alley, especially if you're drunk." Kagome nodded her head leaning it into her hero's embrace. "So where do you live? I would like to see you home."

Kagome pointed down the alley to the largest building at the end, "I… Hic… own it and live…hic… in it, third floor, room… Hic… two hundred and Thirty-One…Hic." Kagome's hero nodded and headed toward Hotel Hirogashi (kinda gives her away huh, well you must remember she is drunk.) and held the drunk Kagome close.

As they neared the hotel Kagome turned to her hero and noticed that he had draping long silver hair that went past his waist, but the hair was pulled back into a ponytail. He wore a white long-sleeve shirt and a pair of lose leather pants the only things that was different about his outfit was that he wasn't wearing shoes, only sandals, and his jacket. Kagome also managed a short glimpse at his eyes, which were a golden brown. He never smiled though.

As they approached the hotel entrance Kagome turned to her hero, "May I ask... Hic ...your name, great hero of mine?"

"My name is Inuyasha Tanaka Mon, but you can call me Inuyasha."

Kagome looked at her hero in surprise. The name had sounded so familiar and she knew this man from somewhere. "Umm Inuyasha-sama, have we ever met?"

Inuyasha stumbled for a moment but it was barley noticeable. "N… no, no we haven't. What would make you think that, Kagome-chan?"

Kagome shrugged, and then she jerked her head towards Inuyasha, "Did I tell you my name? I don't remember telling it to you."

"Well, not exactly, I… I… I heard you tell those men I saved you from." Inuyasha said looking very guilty.

Kagome nodded and headed inside the hotel.

Inside the hotel the Kagome stumbled up to the front desk. The man working there looked startled at her, "My Lady, are you ok?"

Kagome nodded and said in a dreamy voice, while pointing behind her, "Yes I'm just fine thanks to Mr. Inuyasha Tanaka Mon."

The clerk looked at Kagome with a confused look on his face, "Are you sure you're okay, because there is no one behind you."

Kagome looked shocked, could this Inuyasha be an image of her imagination? Had he been real? Then she looked down at the coat and knew he had been real. "But were did he go?" Kagome said quietly to herself.

Kagome walked into her apartment and slumped down onto her couch. She had just got home from work. Sighing, she looked up at the coat that Inuyasha had given her. She was in deep thought when suddenly the phone rang and made her jump three feet into the air. "Hello?"

"Hello, Kagome?" A woman's voice asked in the phone.

"Mom, hey why the unexpected call? It's not Sota again is it?"

"No, I was just calling to check up on you. Howhave you been?" Kagome sighed.

"Well mom, the other night I almost..." Kagome didn't want to tell her mom but she felt she needed to. "… I almost got raped."

Kagome heard her mother gasp, "Oh my goodness, are you ok? Did you report it? Did they hurt you in any way?"

"Mom calm down I'm ok. I was saved by this guy. It was kind of weird actually. 'He's was kind of weird."

"What do you mean sweetheart?"

Kagome looked over at the red fur coat that he had given her, "Well…" Kagome told her mom about Tashimaru and her handsom hero Inuyasha Tanaka Mon.

When she finished here mom didn't reply for quite awhile. Finally her mom said, "Kagome, I think we need to talk. Why don't you come have diner with us tomorrow." It was more of a demand than an offer so Kagome knew she had no choice but toaccept.

"Ok mom I'll be over around six, look I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow, I love you."

"Bye sweetheart, and do take care." Then her mother hung up.

Kagome sighed and headed to take a bath. Her mother had sounded so worried when she had told her of Inuyasha, but she wasn't going to let that bother her right then. She would wait till tomorrow.
