Quote of the day: A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small.
Fact of the day: The Christmas tree was first decorated with lights in the 16th century. It is believed that Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, was the first to add lighted candles to the tree. He was so taken with the Christmas night sky that he wished to bring "the lights of the stars" into the home of his family. From this, decorating the tree with ornaments, messages and notes, and small gifts emerged in later centuries leading to our customs today.

Chapter 3: Not yet titled

The sound of children laughing down the street was heard as they played at the local playgrounds. Inuyasha walked down the dirty street, scraping his feet along the pavement with each step. The large black guitar case he was holding swung back and forth. His shiny silver hair was kept over his face, avoiding the peoples disapproving stares.
This was how his life had always been. Shot down because he wasn't normal. He was half-breed, a freak of nature. He had lost the only people who had ever loved him, his mother and father. They were murdered when he was 5.
-Flashback-
A sickening sound came to Inuyashas sensitive ears. It was the sound of flesh. Flesh being ripped open forced and unmercifully. Inuyasha sat in the dark corner of the house. His mother told him to stay there and not move, so he did, he wouldn't disobey her.
Metal was what Inuyasha could smell. The metal smell of blood, it was so thick he could almost taste it.
"Inuyasha…" A faint whisper was heard. Looking across the room, Inuyasha saw his mother lying in a pool of her own blood. Tears leaked down Inuyasha face, but he soaked them up quickly with his sleeve. He told himself he wouldn't cry.
Picking up his mother he gentle cradled her in his arms. Her blood soaked his clothes, but he didn't care.
"Goodbye Inuyasha, I will always love you." Inuyasha couldn't speak. More tears built up in his eyes. With his mother's last words, he felt her leave the reality and the pain behind for something better. That's what life was. Pain.
-End Flashback-
Dropping his head down further than it already was he continued walking. He swore he would kill the bastard that killed his parents one day. His fists clenched at the memory and he took a look at his surroundings.
He didn't exactly have the best life around. He lived in the small, dirty trailer park with his alcoholic brother, Sesshomaru. It was the same thing every night. Locking himself in his room as Sesshomaru came back with another whore of the street. He wasn't going to live like this when he turned 18. He had dreams and he was going to fulfill them. The dream? To build up his own band and tour the world, but for now it was and empty dream. The local club paid him to pay there, so he did. He would take what he could get.
The alleyway had begun to darken as the sun started to drop below the ground. Cold sweat built up on his hand that was closed around the guitar case handle. He always got nervous walking through here.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" A low male voice shook as three large shadows emerged from behind a large crate.
Inuyasha growled as he heard the familiar voice. "I thought you would've had enough when I kicked your ass yesterday, Koga."
"Now Inuyasha, you shouldn't be so cocky." Koga smirked. "I've got friends with me this time."
Koga pulled something black and shiny out of his pocket. Pointing the gun up to Inuyasha's face, Inuyasha winced at the cursed object.
"You can't scare me, Koga" Inuyasha stood tall as he looked at what could be death in eyes.
"Really? Do you know what would happen if I pulled this?" Koga taunted as he placed his finger over the trigger. "Bang, bang, you're dead."
Inuyasha's eye twitched and his jaw clenched as Koga continued to talk. "Filthy scum like you doesn't deserve to live."
Siren could be heard in the background. Cursing, Koga pocketed the lack gun as he smirked at Inuyasha.
"The coppers are coming, but don't worry, I'll be back." With that last statement Koga disappeared in the darkness.
Gleaming the police drove by Inuyasha, giving him a wary look out the window. He best get out of her before Koga comes back. By now he had gotten used to Koga's continuous. Koga had gone to jail once for murdering someone, someone who betrayed Inuyasha long ago. They fighted constantly, which was why he came to work sporting a black eye. He didn't dare tell Kagome yesterday why he had the black eye. What would he say? Yeah, my alcoholic brother kicked me out yesterday and then I got into a fight with some murderer. No way.
Continuing down the dirty road, he broke into a quick jog. He had to get to the club soon, or he might miss his cue and get fired. That he couldn't afford, literally. Blinking neon lights came into view saying 'Shikon Club.' It was the best club in the city, which was why he wouldn't give up the chance to play here. Although he was a pretty good singer, he was still surprised they even let him work here.
Coming up to the large covered glass doors, he opened it and walked back stage to get read for his performance. Hopefully, it would be a good night.
> >
"I.D. please." The deep male voice requested as Kagome stepped up to the doors.
Shuffling through her purse, she pulled out a small plastic card and showed it to him. Nodding his head gruffly he stepped aside to let her in.
Her, Sango, and Miroku did this almost every Sunday. They came to they best club in town, Shikon Club. The loud music greeted her as she stepped into the dark room.
"Let's get a table!" Sango yelled to Kagome over the booming music.
"You go! I'm going to get a drink!" Sango nodded and they both headed off in different directions.
Clubs always made Kagome feel alive, from the loud music to the flashing lights. The fast upbeat music stopped and a slow song was played. Couples on the dance floor paired up and dance rhythmical to the music. Spotting Sango and Miroku she couldn't help but laugh. Sango's face had long ago turned crimson and Miroku's face had a huge smile plastered on it.
Stepping up to the bar Kagome sat down at the long table.
"Bloody Mary, please."
Waiting patiently for the bartender to finish her drink she suddenly felt someone watching her. Shooting her head in all directions she noticed the curtains that went backstage flutter and then become still. Kagome shook her head.
'I think I really need that drink.'
> >
Inuyasha opened the curtain and walked backstage to set up his guitar, he was only going on in a few minutes. Koga had taken up a lot of his time.
Hooking the blue electric guitar to the amp, he strummed the strings and tuned the guitar to song he was playing. His sensitive ears were pressed tightly against his head as the music boomed forcefully against his eardrums.
After being satisfied with how his guitar sounded, he set it down gently and opened up the curtains slightly to look out. A slow song was playing, he gagged at how close the couple on the dance floor were. He wasn't always much to watch the couples dance. A couple of familiar faces stuck out from the crowd.
'Hey isn't that Sango and Miroku?' Inuyasha look to his left. 'That must mean that…'
Kagome!
Inuyasha shot back behind the curtain just as Kagome looked in his direction. Oh Kami, he hoped she didn't see him. What if see did? Wait…why was he getting all nervous?
A booming voice sounded when they talked into the mic.
"Is everyone having a good time tonight?" A loud 'Yeah' was heard from the people in the club.
"Great! Now let's all give a hand for our live entertainment tonight! Inuyasha Takahashi!"
Shit that was his cue! Grabbing his guitar quickly he jumped onto stage and ran up to the microphone.
Starting off with a few strums, Inuyasha started the song.
Johnny Falls – Hedley. Warning: Song has bad language

woa---h.
Roars and cheers from the people echoed through the building. They soon died off and music was once played again from the speakers.
Walking off the stage Inuyasha put his guitar back in its case. Jumping down the stairs he quickly hurried to the door. He had to get back home or Sesshomaru would kick him out again, and if he got kicked out again he might get more injuries than just a black eye.
Kagome pushed threw the people that were currently cheering for the silver-haired boy on stage. Pushing threw the last person she came up to the stage but none was no longer standing there. The booming music from the speakers had been turned again and Kagome turned around to look at the doors. Silver flashed in her eyes. Where was he going in such a rush?
Following him out the door she saw him turned the corner down the alley that lead to the trailer park. The street here was filthy. Garbage had been thrown everybody and crows had started to pick at the leftovers. Kagome trailed a ways behind him, making sure that he didn't see her, for if he did it wouldn't be pretty. Looking around at her surroundings, she felt pity for Inuyasha. No one should have to live like this. Some of the houses had started to rot and crumble. Not watching where she was going, she hit a cardboard box and tripped. Letting out a wheezed cough as she hit the ground, she heard Inuyasha stop. Laying flat on the ground she didn't even dare to breath.
"Who's there?" Inuyasha snapped around to look behind him. Somebody was lying on the street.
"I see you laying there, stand up!"
Kagome started to shake as she sat up. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha."
"Kagome? What are you doing here?" Inuyasha surprised face held anger.
"You left in a hurry, I thought something was wrong" Kagome kept her bangs hidden over eyes
"So, you followed me!" Inuyasha growled. He didn't want her finding out he lived in a place like this!
A tear rolled down Kagome face and she quickly wiped it off. Why did she have to follow him? Kagome heard a low voice from just ahead of her.
"Hey mutt-face! I see you got yourself a bitch!" Koga walked up to Kagome and looked as her as if he were examining her. "She's a nice piece of ass, if I do say myself."
Inuyasha growled and clenched his fist. "Don't touch her!"
Koga smirked "Why is she yours? It will make it all the more fun when I make her mine."
Swiftly grabbing her wrist he dug his claws into her wrist and she cried out in pain. The crimson liquid flowed from her wrist and dripped off her hand.
"You're my woman! Say it!" Koga's already tight grip became tighter and blood started to flow faster.
"No!" Kagome chocked out a sob.
Koga pulled out the black gun from his pocket and pointed it at Inuyasha.
"Say it or I'll kill him!"
"No, don't hurt him!"
"Then say it!"
"I'm your woman." Kagome whispered it silently and lowered her face in shame.
Koga smirked evilly at Inuyasha "You see she's mine now!"
"Get away from her!" Inuyasha charged at Koga.
Koga put his finger over the trigger. "Bad Choice"
Bang! All time stopped. Everything was in slow motion. He could see Kagome's shameful face, and the shiny piece of metal that was now coming towards him. Inuyasha felt the small bullet hit him in the chest and he fell on the ground unconscious. Reality had come back again. Kagome screamed. Trying to run to Inuyasha, she couldn't she had lost too much blood. She fell down into the red puddle that had formed at her feet. Police sirens rang as they come closer and she felt Koga let go off her wrist and run.
'Forgive me Inuyasha'
Bright lights from the police car were all Kagome could see before she blacked out.
