Chapter 4

The ride back into town was a quiet one. The only sound was the low blow of the heater. Kagome sat with her arms tightly against her stomach, her legs tucked under her bottom as she stared out the window.

"Just drop me off up at the 7/11," she muttered keeping her gaze out the window.

Despite his protests, in the end he dropped her off. "Kagome please let me take you somewhere safe. Where will you go?"

"That's none of your concern, Inuyasha." She said standing outside the driver's window, "Thank you for everything." Kagome kissed his cheek, "goodbye Inuyasha," she whispered and headed inside the store.

Inuyasha sat there for moment trying to register what had just happened. Something in his gut told him to keep an eye on her. Sure, it was a small town but not everyone around here was so kind to the homeless.

Kagome watched him drive away, her eyes locked on his little white car until it was gone. She sighed. The kiss had been on impulse, her way of thanking him for making her feel like she was more then pregnant white trash. Now to find a place to stay for the night, she thought, looking around she stepped out to cross the street. It was getting colder, she rummaged through her bag and found a small sweater and put it around her shoulders. She needed to find place to stay. Her stomach growled. "Shut up I don't have money for food," she muttered annoyed. Wait…The 7/11 had food, she could sneak a little snack and be out before anyone even noticed. Good plan, she thought, I can pay them back as soon as I get a job.

Kagome headed for the store and went inside. Her eyes darted for the snack cakes, she made sure no one was looking before she grabbed three and stuff them in her bag. She looked at the man at the cash register and grabbed two more cakes. Not wanting to push her luck Kagome start for the door.

The sound of a cake hitting the floor stopped her in her tracks as she opened the Exit door. The cashier looked at her, she stared at him like a deer in headlights. No please…I'm so hungry…She picked up the cake and hobbled as fast as she could, while the store owner yelled for her to come back.

"I'm so hungry," she whimpered tears blurring her vision, if she made it to the library she could sleep on the bench around back and have breakfast in the morning. She turned at the sound of a honking horn, two bright lights were coming for her.

The next morning Inuyasha awoke to the phone ringing, it was his grandmother, "Kaede, do you know what time it is?"

"That's not important. Remember the girl you told me about yesterday?"

He rubbed his eyes, "Yes, I remember."

"I just got a call from the Pastor Mike saying a young pregnant girl was sent to the emergency room late last night who'd been hit by a car."
