Well this isn't as long as i'd expected, but it's slightly more exciting than the last chapterp, thanks for all you kind people out there for reviewing,


The Strangers Threat

"Bye Kagome!" Inuyasha called from the doorway as she waved goodbye, she had opted to walk back, feeling sorry for the limo driver having to chauffer her around. Kagome walked down the concrete sidewalk, it was getting dark and there was a thin mist hanging in the air. Though no one was around the silence of the street made her subconsciously nervous. She turned back every now and again when she thought she heard movement, she was beginning to wish she'd been driven home, then she could have been safe at home right now. Suddenly a hand snaked out from behind her, covering her mouth so no noise could escape the trembling girl's throat. Kagome was turned round only to come face to face with a tall man, he had wavy black hair and nasty rat-like slits of eyes(he he),

"So you are that girl, Kagome, now listen closely to what I'm going to tell you!" He said roughly. Kagome trembled in his grasp, screwing her eyes shut tight, he pushed her hard against the wall, leaning against her he whispered in her ear,

"Never go near Inuyasha again; if you do I will make you suffer!" He growled, his hand slid down her side to her hip and under her dress. She kicked him in the groin, she then ran as he fell to the ground, all the way back to her apartment, she opened the door and slammed It fast, her breath rasping with the cold and fear, Sango came over,

"Kagome, what's wrong, are you alright?" her friend asked worriedly, Kagome begun to sob,

"What happened?" Sango asked, getting anxious,

"A-a-a m-m-m an, he a-a-t-tacked m-m-me!" Kagome stuttered, Sango sat her friend down on the sofa,

"Who attacked you? Did you see what he looked like? Did he harm you?" Sango asked,

Kagome inhaled and exhaled slowly,

"No, he tried to, but I ran, b-but he told me to stay away from Inuyasha, he said he would make me suffer if I went near him again, I've never seen him before!' Kagome said shakily, Sango put her hand on Kagome's back comfortingly,

"It's alright, I'm sure it'll be okay!" Sango said softly.

"But that meant he knows Inuyasha, which means he could be following me, or maybe he wants something from Inuyasha!" Kagome said, calming slightly,

"I better call him and tell him!" Kagome said reaching for the phone; her friend pulled the phone away,

"I suggest you leave it for now, considering the threat you've just had!" Sango advised.

"But he needs to know, he might get hurt in this!" Kagome answered,

"So might you!" Sango said, still restraining Kagome from grabbing the phone.

Kikyo stood outside Inuyasha's door, an evil smirk on her face,

"Well, let's see what I can do to ruin his relationship, I won't let him have his way!" Kikyo snarled to herself,

"Naraku should have found Kagome by now!" As if on queue Naraku stumbled up the stairs towards her,

"Why the hell are you back so early, your supposed to have scared the living shit out of that brat, otherwise she'll take my family's fortune, we want the money remember?" Kikyo growled, Naraku snarled, grabbing Kikyo by her wrists he pushed her into her bedroom and pinned her to the bed,

"She kicked me and ran, but I did manage to scare her, I told her to stay away from Inuyasha or I'd get her1" He growled, Kikyo spat at him,

"Idiot, she'll probably call him straight away now and Inuyasha knows it'll probably have something to do with us!" Naraku pushed his lips none too gently against Kikyo's, then stood up,

"Who cares what can that idiot do to us?"

"Ruin our plan, maybe!' Kikyo retorted. Naraku snorted at Kikyo and shook his head,

"I'll deal with him later! Keep your mouth shut for now!" With that Naraku turned and left silently, leaving a livid Kikyo in his wake. Kikyo scowled at him as he left, clenching her fist she smoothed her top down and strutted back out of the room, pondering different painful deaths for Inuyasha, she cursed when she heard him open the door as she walked downstairs,

"Inuyasha! I hope your doing well?" Kikyo said, smiling falsely, before running downstairs fast. Inuyasha glared at his sister as she left

"What the fuck is she talking so sweet for?" He groaned, he was about to follow her down when he heard his phone ring faintly in his room. He bolted back just in time and grabbed it.

"Hello?"

"Inuyasha!" Came Kagome's sobbing voice,

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, now getting anxious just as Sango had done.

"Something happened……" Kagome couldn't bring herself to finish,

"I'm coming, hang on!" He said, he was afraid something had happened to Kagome on the way home as he turned the car keys in the lock and flung himself in; he raced out of his driveway and to Kagome's house. He slowed down as it came in to view, parking outside he ran up the steps and rung the doorbell. Praying she was okay. Sango answered the door, not happy to see him,

"Come in, I didn't really think you should, but Kagome insisted!" Sango informed begrudgingly. Inuyasha raced over to where Kagome was sat on the sofa, clutching one of the cream cushions against her chest. Inuyasha sat down slowly beside her, Kagome didn't look up, and he wondered if she'd even registered he was there.

"Kagome?" He asked softly, scared at how different she was to the Kagome he'd been cuddling less than 3 hours ago.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome replied, finally looking up with tearful brown eyes that melted his heart when he saw them, he put his arms around Kagome.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked; glad to know that whatever happened, at least she was safe now. Kagome shuddered in his warm embrace.

"When I was walking home, someone followed me, t-they tried to attack me and threatened me!" Kagome whispered into his t-shirt,

"Who threatened you and what did they say?" Inuyasha asked gently,

"They told me to stay away from you, though I don't know who they were, they sounded like they knew you!"

Inuyasha suddenly felt even more anxious, who knew him that wanted to hurt Kagome, maybe it's something to do with Kikyo, that bitch! He thought grimly to himself, he sighed, stroking Kagome's ruffled hair down, Kagome begun to cry softly into his shirt, at least he was here for her, and perhaps it was best for him to stay with her. In case this stranger tried to attack her again. He would have to confront Kikyo sooner or later……
