Chapter Three- Bid my blood to Run
"As we maintain the chaos, the fire becomes fuel
And our hearts are the engine. We will flood the system with blood if we have to, and we will rule the world with cold retinas and firm beliefs"

"Oh stop it! It doesn't smell that bad."

"How would you know! Your sense of smell isn't as strong as mine."

Kagome rolled her eyes and ignored the hanyou who held his nose tightly as she opened the back door into the kitchen, placing her shoes at the doorstep before continuing in.

"Momma, I'm home." A woman with curled dark hair appeared from the opened wall that connected the living room with kitchen, she smiled gently at her daughter.

"Oh, good. Souta sent you after Buyo and went back to- Kagome dear, who's your friend?"

Mrs. Higurashi turned her inquisitive look to Inuyasha as he stepped inside and crossed his arms, hiding his hands in his haori.

"Oh, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha this is my mom."
The woman stepped forward and Inuyasha stayed rooted to his spot, staring at her, taken by surprise when she rubbed at the ears atop his head.

"Oh they're so cute! Are they real?"

"Hey!" Inuyasha jumped away from her as Kagome giggled and began to rummage through the kitchen cupboards

"Yes they're real! Leave em alone bi- err...human."

"Oh, I apologize. You're not human?"

"No momma he isn't. Inuyasha's a hanyou. I umm." She glanced at the annoyed boy as she began to boil some ramen. "Found him.

"Oh. I see. Well you two have fun, Souta's at his friends house so you don't have to worry about him and I'm going to Mira's." The woman waved before she exited out the back door, patting Inuyasha on the shoulder before she did so.

Kagome shook her head then smiled to Inuyasha holding up a package of beef flavored ramen.

"So, you hungry Inuyasha?" He stared at her as if she was stupid for asking the question and she laughed indicating for him to take a seat at the table.

"It'll be ready in a minute."

"You want me to sit at the table?"

"Duh. Where else?"

"On the floor of course! Don't you know anything?"

Kagome blinked then frowned, she turned and placed the noodle soup into a bowl and onto the table in front of him. He stood there at turned his gaze from the spot to her in blank confusion.

"I know a lot, I know that treating you like your no better then I am is wrong. I know that taking advantage of you is wrong as well Inuyasha, so sit in the chair and eat before I shove it down your throat!"

He blinked in surprise, noticing that he had jumped back a good few feet when she yelled at him. Growling he sat down and stared into the bowl. Quickly he snatched the spoon and began to dig in. Kagome watched with surprised fascination then laughed as she began to make a couple more packages for him.

He placed the empty bowl away from him with deep satisfaction, his ears twitching to the sounds of machinery running by and distant conversation from nearby neighbors, tuning them out, his liquid gold eyes froze on the girl at the stove as she hummed a soft delightful tune.

How long had it been since he felt safe alone with someone? How long since he was just able to sit back and relax without a worry in the world. So long... This girl was different. She seemed nothing like Kikyo. The only resemblance they shared was the faint appearance in face, and not even that was enough to mistake the two.

"Ow!" Kagome jumped away from the pot of boiling water after she turned the stove off. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and stood, and that Kagome was less graceful.

He pulled her hand away as she reached for the pot again and scowled at the confused look on her face before glancing down at the reddened digit.

"It burned you the first time, what makes you think it won't do it the second time you touch it?"

"I... um... I guess I should get gloves huh." He raised a brow at her and she blushed at her own incompetence as he released her. She grabbed the red patterned glove and pulled the burning pot away to continue making the ramen. Inuyasha leaned back on the counter across from her, his eyes moving out the window above her.

"How can you stand it here?" She paused for a few seconds then smiled gently as she placed the bowl on the table and turned to face him while she removed the apron.

"I don't know really. Sure you can smell the machines that make the air and can tell the clouds and day sky are fake if you look hard enough. But I think it's my family that keeps me here, without them, I would be lost. You want to know something?"

He forced the words 'not really' down his throat and away from his mouth as she waited for a response but he gave none, he was curious of her ideas and opinions, but it would be a cold day in hell before he voiced those thoughts.

"I was born here, in this orbital station, but I never really felt like I belonged, I've seen so many pictures of the planet earth and read about its history. I dream that maybe one day I can live there, where everything is not man made, the air smells like nature, and the clouds are real."

Inuyasha was speechless as he watched her eyes close to imagine her future, She did not want to live in a place where everything was done for you? You had no worries about getting sick from colds or flu's? She had a dream of being free from man, just like himself. He glared at her, returning to his cold shell and distancing the thoughts and her from himself.

"How do you know they did not change Earth as well? How do you know that the grass still belongs to nature and the air is not filled with man made pollution?"

Her eyes opened slowly to stare at him, her face becoming sad with the thoughts of a destroyed planet, no longer suitable to live on. Her optimistic out look quickly crushed by a shallow hanyou. Inuyasha blinked at how rapidly she switched moods, he was expecting her to yell at him and argue but neither happened and she simply turned to walk into her living room.

"I don't I suppose. And I never will." With that she moved out of sight and Inuyasha glared down at the kitchen floor in anger. Damn, he had to go and upset her. Ignoring the on coming feeling of guilt he sat down to try and finish off the ramen.

Chapter Four- Hobo who? Unworthy. (Preview)

"Yeah um you know Hojo, I think I may be..."
"She's busy Friday."

Hojo looked at the tall man who appeared behind Kagome, a scowl set on his features and the sound of popping knuckles echoed from him. Hojo blinked in confusion and turned to Kagome.

"You are?" Kagome stayed quiet as she stared at the cement and tried to control her anger.

"Yes, she is. Now unless you want your skull-"
"How about I call you tomorrow Hojo? I should have it all figured out then! Come on Inuyasha let's go!"

Kagome grabbed the sleeve of the surprised half demon and dragged him along behind her until they were clear out of sight from the boy and traveling the short cut of the park. Kagome spun around and glared at him threateningly.

"SIT!"

'Thud!'
