Chapter Three
A Dangerous Encounter

After blinking her eyes, Kagome's stare was met bye an intense yellow eyed glare. "Ah, hi? Would you mind getting off me?" asked the very shaken girl.

"What? Oh yeah sure."

As Inu Yasha got up and off of Kagome, he began to look for a way to satisfy his (Yet still enormously over-inflated) damaged male ego. "What the hell was up with that running into me in all wench?" Yes, that should do it; male ego satisfied.

"Excuse me!" she shrieked. "What's your problem anyway?"

"You are! I was just walking down the street and you, being the stupid wench that all females are, ran into me."

"Well excuse me! I was about to apologize to you but now I'm more likely to slap you." yelled a very pissed off Kagome.

"Feh! You think I give a damn if you apologize, bitch?" Sneered Inuyasha.

"You jerk! Just fuck off!" as soon as Kagome said that she clamped her hands over her mouth "Now look what you made me do! I hate cursing, it makes you sound ignorant and dumb!" She stamped her feet to emphasize her point.

"Feh." he snorted, dumbly. He started to walk away ignorantly, leaving a very pissed off girl behind him.

'What a jerk.' thought Kagome bitterly as she got up. She looked at her watch 'Oh god school starts in less than five minutes' And she started running to school again.

At first, Inuyasha thought that she was running to catch up with him so when she flew past him he was slightly taken by surprise. What the hell was up with that any way? Casually checking his watch he understood exactly why she was running 'No fucking way! In order to get there in time I would have to use my demon powers, and I can't do that with all these people around! Damnit!'

"Mr. Taisho. You're late… again. Well don't say I didn't warn you, you've got detention until 5:30 tonight"

"What the hell! That's not fair! Some bitch ran into me on the street!" Inu Yasha stood up from his seat and slammed his hand against the table, shaking the cup of pens his headmaster had on his desk.

The headmaster stood up, towering above Inu Yasha, and looked grimly at the rude boy. "Mr. Taisho!" he said firmly, his deep voice slightly shaking Inu Yasha. "I will not permit such language in my class room. consider your detention until 7:00"

Finding strength to speak again, Inu Yasha gathered himself quickly and puffed out his chest. "And how will you enforce it? I doubt the janitor will want to stay that late to baby sit me."

"Well, seeing as baby sitters are needed to baby-sit babies, I will stay and watch you so that you don't vandalize this premise. Now get to class, Taisho." Inu Yasha's face flashed red with a flash of anger and embarrassment. Who was this man to patronize him so?

With a grunt and a sneer he turned to get a late pass from the woman in the front desk.

Mean while in a class room across the hall, a certain girl was having trouble of her own. "Miss Higurashi you're late." the teacher stated as she viewed the pink pass in her hands to check for authenticity.

"I'm sorry. It's just, I was a little held up this morning." she said and offered a pathetic smile to the teacher, hoping to find pity from the woman.

"Don't let it happen again. Now take your seat."

"Hey Miroku, Sango, do either of you know any thing about a boy in our school who has black hair and piercing yellow eyes?" asked Kagome, sitting at her lunch table with her friends.

Sango thought quickly before muttering, "No can't say that I do." Unconsciously, as she thought she had leaned forward slightly. Seeing this, Miroku quickly seized his opportunity and gave Sango a quick "rub down". "Pervert!" screeched a now fuming Sango. Accompanying the scream came a harsh slap that almost sent the poor boy flying across the school grounds.

"It was worth the pain, my dear!" he yelled from his position on the ground. "My dear, Sango, for two reasons. One, your ass is very soft, and the second is I thought I saw a snake."

"Oh, yeah, I'm sure a snake had some thing to do with it!" She said and place a hand on her trim hip, rolling her eyes. "Unfortunately, it was your snake."

"Well there is some truth to that." He said and rubbed his chin. "But we can discus that later." He said, waving his hand, discussing the matter at hand. "I do know who it is you are talking about, my pretty Kagome, his name is Inuyasha." Seeing their blank faces, he continued "You know? The one that about half of the school hates for no apparent reason and the other half hates because they are told to."

"Oh. You mean him? That explains his attitude …" She said, a small tinge of sympathy in her voice. "It must be hard to be him."

"What do you mean? You sound like you know him." Asked the curios boy as he picked himself of the floor and picked a discarded lunch noodle off of his butt.

"I guess you could say I bumped into him on the street today." 'Well I told the half the truth.' what the others didn't know was that she had spent the entire day wondering about him. (And disliking him …)

'I wonder what she wants with him.' Miroku wondered briefly.

'Damn that wench.' thought Inuyasha as he walked towards his assigned detention room, 'Not only did she make me late and get me a detention, but now, I'm so pissed, I can't stop thinking about her. Fuck.' Looking up, Inuyasha saw one of his least favorite people, Kouga.

"Hey dog shit." The boy sneered rudely, his blue eyes gleaming

"What the hell do you want, you scrawny wolf?" Inu Yasha bit back with a glare.

"To kick yer ass, stupid." He said intelligently. At least he got to the point.

'You know today might not be half bad after all.' thought Inuyasha, grinning.

'I hate my job' decided Kagome, as she was walking home from her job at the local Wacdonalds. Speeding up slightly, she couldn't help but feel like she was being … watched. Turning down an alley she found her self face to face with a group of men. At least at first glance they were men one was at least seven feet tall and another looked like a big bald toad. All but one of them was horribly disfigured. "Ah what… I mean who are you?" she asked, very scared of these… men

"Who we are does not matter as to what we are. Well I guess you could call us demons, spirits." The apparent leader said.

As he finished talking two of the demons started to walk toward her. She turned to run but found the way blocked by more demons. One reached out to grab her, so she grabbed her huge and heavy backpack and swung it at the demon, knocking the unfortunate creature off of its feet.
"YOU BITCH!" screamed the leader "Bring her to me boys!" he snarled at the others.

As the rest came at her she managed to knock away two more of the demons before they managed to bring her down.

As they took her to the leader, they bound her hands behind her back and her feet together so she could not whacking any one else, or get away from them.

"HELP! HELP!" As she tried to call out, she found one put their hand over her mouth. And then some other one stuffed a sock into her mouth and used a bandana to keep it in place.

As she was forced to her knees in front of the demon leader, she looked up at him with big fearful eyes, unsure of what would happen next.

"You know, originally we were only going to take your money, but now we'll be taking much more. Much much more." She couldn't help but shudder at this as he whispered into her ear. He hadn't said what he was going to do, but he didn't need to. She already knew. "First," he said, raising his voice so the others could hear "we are going to rape you- every one of us- as many times as any one wants to, and then … " And this, he whispered, as though just for her to hear

"We are going to kill you."

As he finished saying this, he gave her a slap that sent her falling to the ground, he leaned down on her and forced her thighs open with two strong arms, and put his hand up her shirt. She closed her eyes for what was about to happen when all of a sudden she heard some one running down the alley. As she heard this, her eyes snapped open. "What the fuck are you doing!" It yelled. That voice sounded strangely familiar to her. She became aware next that the body that had been on top of her was now laying mutilated next to her. And she did what any other normal teenage girl in her situation would do.

She screamed. Well, she at least tried to.

As Inu Yasha exited the school, he grumbled under his breath about the injustices of it all. First, some girl runs into him, next he gets a detention for being late, then there ware always the normal hateful murmurs that followed him around the hall ways. Then, getting in trouble for beating the shit out of Kouga and breaking one of his friend's noses, and last, the cherry on top of the Sunday, serving the stupid detention.

As he walked home past an alley way, he heard some one yell "HELP! HELP!" Doing a double take on the alley, he looked in, thankful that he had demon night vision. What he saw set his blood to boil. There was a group or demons, and through the crowd, he could see one on top of a struggling girl, his powerful arms prying open her legs. Dropping his concealment spell, and breaking into a light run. Pausing, he listened to what they had to say, he was soon assured of what this was.
Rape.

Looking back in, he saw that a demon was lowering its self onto the girl. The time to act was now.

There was a satisfying feeling as his claws tore into the beast killing him instantly. Not as painful as he deserved for attacking and trying to rape this girl, but hey, there was no time for revenge. As he stood proudly, the girl curled into a ball on the ground, her stomach facing down and her hands behind her back and screamed well she tried to it was the thought that counts.

"Shut up will you!" he barked at her.

"Sorry." she mumbled, to softly, because of the gag, for him to hear.

Looking around, he saw that there were twelve demons in all. 'Time for the fun to begin.' He thought as he cracked his knuckles. 'I wish I had brought Tetsusaiga with me.' he remembered bitterly.

As he and the demons rushed towards each other they all let lose their respective war cries.

Slamming a fist through a demon's stomach he stopped when he felt the back bone, grabbing onto it he yanked his hand out as hard as he could bringing the bone with him, effectively killing the demon. The next demon; he launched a kick into its wind pipe causing it to go down.

'Threat neutralized.' He decided if it lived through the initial kick it would soon suffocate him.

"Filthy half bread son of a bitch, what the hell are you doing here? She's ours." Sneered a bull demon that was about eight feet tall.

"Oh yeah, I hate to break it to you" he shot back "but she's mine and every one of you is going to die for hurting her!" He looked smug for a moment and then added with a bit of arrogance, "Or at least trying to."

'did he just call me his?' wondered Kagome. 'I don't even know-' And then it clicked. 'He's trying to save me ... Who is this boy?' She thought as she tried to move her hands and feet, and failing at it.

Meanwhile as she had been thinking, Inuyasha and the bull demon had locked in combat. The bull slammed him into a wall. He went to punch him but Inuyasha ducked and the bulls hand went through a wall. Small shard of brick and stone fell to the floor and bounced off the rough pavement of the alley way. As the bull's arm went over Inuyaha's head, he sent his fist into its face but it did not stop when it came in contact with the skin- no, he had aimed it so it went through the eye and into the ugly beast's head. And grabbing onto part of its brain, he pulled it out with his hand. The gelatin like substance splattered on the floor, and landed next to the bull demon. And Inu Yasha admired his work, deciding that the hole in his head did the repugnant creature some good. "As well as the rest of the world." He snorted in disgust as he ground the heel of his shoe into some of the brain mush on the ground.

At seeing the defeat of the bull, two of the demons fled off into the night. However, to make up for it, three more charged right at him. One of them, holding a metal pipe, swung at him. Inu Yasha, catching its wrist, forced it backwards until there was a sickening crack. Dropping the pipe, the demon held onto its pained appendage.

Picking up the pipe, Inu Yasha slammed it strait through the neck of another. As he spun to get the third he felt a searing pain in his side that quickly turned into numbness. As the knife was pulled out of his side he slammed the blunt bar down on its head as hard as he could sending it through skin, bone, and brain.

Another two rushed toward him, picking up their fallen comrade who only had a broken wrist. As they went, they charged at him. He grinned and cracked his fingers in several places, the sickening sound almost halting the oncoming demons.

The next thing that happened took him by complete surprise. There was a loud banging sound, and a very intense pain flooded through him. Looking down, he saw a large wound. No doubt about it. He had been shot.

He grabbed hold of his bar and holding the sharper end in front, he threw it with his might straight into the demons chest. There was so much force behind it that he was lifted from the ground and pinned against a wall.
Turning to face the last demon, he was shocked to see him holding a spear and even more shocked to hear him clap.

"Very good half breed scum. It would appear that Inu no Taisho blood bred pure in you. Now let's see witch is the more powerful species- cats or dogs." As if for emphasis, it hissed and charged at him.

Dodging the initial thrust of the spear and the slashes that followed. It was very obvious that he was much better than the others were. Inuyasha needed a plan, he couldn't dodge forever. Then he saw it. The cat thrust straight at his stomach, and instead of dodging like the cat expected he took it. The force was so great that it drove the spear so far that he was with in arms length of Inuyasha. That was all he needed. Grabbing the shaft, he snapped it in half, spun around so he was behind the cat and grabbing hold of it, he wrung its neck.

The cat demon fell to the floor, dead. He stumbled over to the girl, who was tucked in a fetal position on the ground with her face to the floor. He tapped her shoulder lightly. "You okay?" The girl's body shook with a small sob. He frowned and the lightly drew his claw across the rope that bound her arms and feet. The gag on her had loosened from her head and was now dangling loosely around her neck. She had wriggled out of it. A damp sock lay next her head. "How far is it to your house? I don't think I can make it to mine."

The girl shook again. She was crying. 'I hate it when girls cry.' thought Inu Yasha. He tried patting her back and then muttered. "Uh, there there. All the demons are gone. You're okay now."

Then Kagome sat up, and looked her hero in the eyes for the first time. A mixture of surprise, delight, terror, and confusion was added to the pre-made concoction of pain, horror and fear to create a strange cocktail of emotion. "You!" she exclaimed and pointed a finger at him. "You ... saved me?"

"I saved you?" he said, echoing her. "Fuck, I wouldn't have done it if I had known it was you!" He said and crossed his arms, looking surprisingly disappointed that he hadn't saved someone else- something odd for a person that had just done so noble a deed.

"Oh, well, thanks a lot!" she exclaimed as her face contorted with tears. "Maybe I should just go and find another group of demons to rape and murder me because I so obviously deserve it for accidentally bumping into you!" She began to sob furiously.

"Oh shit, look, I ... I'm sorry okay! I didn't mean that!" he said reluctantly, "Just-just don't cry! Please don't cry." He soon realized that he didn't mean a word of what he had just said. 'Why it is that crying girls always make me feel bad?' he wondered.

"Well, in any case," she said as she sniffled and wiped her runny nose. "You saved me, and for that I'm really grateful, so thank you. Thank you a lot." she said as she rose from the ground, only to buckle under her own weight again.

"Can you walk?" he asked.

"I don't know."

"How far is your house?"

"It's not far. You need to go to a hospital for your wounds though." She said looking over at all his blood stained clothing.

"No. A hospital is a bad idea. Most of them would just use me as an experiment any way." he said bitterly.

"Why would they do that?"

Holding a hand up, Inuyasha pointed at his ears, expecting her to run off calling him a freak. Instead she looked at the fuzzy twitching appendage and exclaimed "Ears! You look like a puppy!" She laughed and Inu Yasha bit his lips together and narrowed his eyes. "So what, you're a demon too? I don't think it matters. It's not like you're the first demon they saw.

"No, I wouldn't be the first demon, but I might be the first half breed they saw. Now hurry the hell up bitch, I'm not going to be able to stand much longer."

"First off, don't call me a bitch. If you would like to address me properly, you may call me Kagome. Right, now let's go. It's not far from here." Kagome assured him. 'Wow. What a day. I can't wait for bed.' She thought as she stood on shaky legs.
