There was Inuyasha, red eyed with the purple streaks on his cheeks. He wore a black hoodie over a torn, blood-stained black shirt, and raggedy, torn jeans. However, in the picture, he didn't appear to be the snarling beast he normally was in this form. He looked like any other picture of a murderer, except he was a youkai. It seemed he had gained more control of this form, but still lusted for blood.
Kagome couldn't believe it. Inuyasha had used the jewel to become full demon, and now he was in her era, killing people! "No..." She said as she backed away from the window, then found herself running down the sidewalk, heading straight for the park, the one place she knew she would be able to think.
She rushed through the gates and found the place virtually deserted. "That's right, it's still early..." She said to herself as she walked over to the pond and sat on a bench, staring at the water. She knew she had to somehow stop Inuyasha, and felt obligated to the task, since it was her fault. The question was how. Would he remember her? Would he come after her? Would he try to kill her? Her mind was racing.
Kagome froze when she felt a familiar presence. Immediately she turned around and saw a figure, dressed in black and wearing a black hoodie, exit the park. 'Inuyasha!' She thought as she leapt up from the bench, not even thinking about what she was doing, and ran after him. When she too exited the park, she looked left and right, then finally spotted his fleeting figure. She ran once more, trying to catch up to him.

Inuyasha had woken up late as usual, in the tree he always slept in in the park. He was sleeping off last night's killing, and was enjoying himself at that. When the late morning sun hit his face, he groaned and leapt from the tree, pulling his hood over his head. He hurriedly walked out of the park, blending in amongst the people on the sidewalk.
That's when he got the feeling he was being followed. He looked around, and saw a girl running in his direction, a human. He grunted and walked faster, weaving through the people, hoping to elude her.
"Damn pests..." He snarled under his breath. He would have gladly killed her on the spot, but it was broad daylight, and he knew better than to do so.
Kagome watched the man walk faster, and she too ran faster. She knew how dangerous her situation was, but at the moment, she didn't care. She had to get to Inuyasha, she needed to talk to him. She hesitated a moment when the man darted into an alley, then gathered the courage to keep moving.
Inuyasha, growing aggravated with the situation, ran into an alley to see if his pursuer would follow him there. He hid behind a dumpster and waited, a snarl plastered on his face. 'Who the hell would be following me? Other than the police?' He thought to himself. He heard footsteps enter the alley as his snarl turned into a grin.
Kagome stepped into the alleyway and looked about, but there was no one there. 'What? I'm sure I saw him come in here...' She thought, walking further into the alley. All of the sudden, she saw a black blur shoot up into the air and land in front of her, and before she knew it, she was staring up at ruby eyes. Suddenly paralyzed with fear, all she could do was stare as the man she thought she knew grabbed the front of her shirt and lifted her off the ground so her face was even with his.
Inuyasha's clawed hand roughly grasped the front of her shirt as he easily lifted her off the ground, glaring into her eyes. "You got a lot of nerve following me." He snarled through gritted teeth. "I don't like being followed." He said, bringing his face closer to hers. He wanted so badly to strike her right there, but knew he couldn't, not now anyway. There were too many people around, and it seemed one was already watching them. "A word of advice, stay away from me." He snarled before throwing her down and walking out of the alley, brushing past the man who had been watching.

Kouga had broken away from Ginta and Hakkaku, annoyed by their constant whining. He now walked on his own down the streets with his hand shoved in his pockets. A chill was suddenly sent down his spine when he picked up two scents, familiar, yet, not. One he could tell was a human female, and the other held the faint scent of mutt. He tried to ignore it, but it tugged at his senses until it drove him crazy and he decided to go towards it. Eventually he came to an alleyway where he saw a man in black holding up a young girl. He made no move to help her, but just watched. Eventually the man threw her down and brushed past him. He watched the man leave, then walked up to the girl and helped her up, "You ok?" He asked. He had no idea why he was helping her, but he felt like he should.
Finally looking up, she saw Kouga and heard him speak up. "Yeah, thanks" she said bluntly. Slowly getting up and brushing off her skirt again, something she always did. She wanted to say something more, but didn't know what, after all he didn't remember her or anything.
"You should probably be more careful. From the sound of him, I think he might come harassing you some more." He said, staring off in the direction that he ran off in. "I think you go to my school. I've seen you around before somewhere, one grade lower than me. Well anyway, if he bothers you again, tell me, alright?" He said giving her a little grin. "Do you want my phone number, or address or something? I'm not too sure how bad the situation is, but if it's pretty bad, I wouldn't want you to have to deal with it alone." He said, wondering in the back of his head who that guy could have been. Even though he had a hood up, he noticed that the guy had some silver hair, and freaky eyes. 'Eh... Oh well!' He thought to himself, shrugging it off.
Kagome gave Kouga a weird look for a second, 'Well, he hasn't changed that much...' she thought. "Um, that's alright, but thanks for the offer..." She smiles politely. 'He goes to my school now?' She thought, confused. Starting to walk out of the alley and onto the sidewalk in the main street, she looks back at him and asks, "I'm going to grab something to eat at the mall, you wanna come?" She waits for a response. For some odd reason, it felt like she was catching up with an old friend.
Kouga smiled, and nodded. "Sure thing." He said, putting his hands in his pockets, and following her out from the alleyway. "Hey... This might sound weird... But I get this weird feeling like I know you more personally..." He said, laughing a little nervously, blushing slightly on the cheeks. He figured that he pretty much sounded insane, for he had no memory of the past.
With a grin beginning to spread across her face, Kagome just replies, "You have no idea how right you are, and I don't really think it sounds all that weird" she shrugs casually, surprised that he even remembered a little bit from the past. They soon entered the mall and she looked around the food court, "So where do you wanna eat?" She asked.
Kouga blinked at her a few times from her response, and nodded slowly, wondering what she meant by that. She seemed so familiar with him, yet he knew he never hung around girls much. Snapping back to reality, he looked around real quick, thinking about the choices. "Erm... I dun care.. Pizza?" He suggested, blinking a couple times.
"Pizza it is then" Kagome agrees, she didn't really care too much. Ordering a small pepperoni pizza for herself and a coke, she waits for Kouga to order before finding a seat. Since it was a weekend, there weren't many seats free in the food court, so she began scanning the area with her lunch in hand. Careful not to drop the food and the drink, she leans her back on one of the pillars close by and waits, taking a small sip from her coke in the meantime.
Kouga ordered four pieces of pizza, a small bag of chips, and a diet coke. He walked over to where Kagome was standing, and gave her a funny look. "You are not going to eat standing up." He warned her, before looking around, and heading over to a table where a group of girls were eating and chatting. He walked up to the table, and sat his stuff down on the side, getting a 'wtf?' look from the girls. "Yeah, move. I'm sitting here." He said, glaring. Seeing as they were school girls from his school, they knew better than to piss him off. After all, rumors went all over the school, about him being a bad guy. They quickly picked up their stuff, whispering to each other as they left, looking back at him. "C'mon Kagome, I got us a spot!" He said, cheerfully, as if nothing happened.
Kagome followed him, and was a little amused at how he got them a table. She sat down across from him and began to eat her pizza, unaware of the red eyes that were fixed upon her...
A/N: Yush, bit of a longer chapter. Took me forever to write x.x Ehem, yes, Kagome meets up with Kouga, and he kinda recognizes her, but doesn't xD Anyway, to clear things up, he now goes to the same school as Kagome, but is a grade higher than her. ANYWAY, Thanks so much for the reviews, and but I'm probably going to be updating a little bit slower after this x.x GOMEN!
