I sat there for the longest time. When I woke up earlier it seemed to be night. Now the sun was rising behind me through a balcony window. What was I thinking about? I don't know. Why? Cause I was to busy staring at my feet. I have a hard time thinking and staring at the same time I guess. After a little while longer, I stood up and walked over to the dresser that stood silently staring at me as I walked. We had a staring contest. Of course I lost.

I opened the dresser to see what I could find to wear. There was mostly black clothing. I picked out sweatpants a shirt and a hoodie. Last I remember, it was cold outside. I avoided the gash on my hip as I slipped on the clothes. I grabbed a pair of black shoes and put them on as well. It's almost as if that guy wanted me to find these clothes. They were a bit big so I assumed that they were… Inu-something's clothes. Quietly walking out to the hallway, I crept down it slowly.

'Now where could the front door be?' I asked myself. If I was going anywhere, it would be away from this place. I wasn't exactly going to stay and answer to someone I don't know. This would be a last resort place. Not that I need it. My only problem with this get away plan of mine, was that I didn't have anything to get away with. I pushed that to the back of my mind. First thins first….where's the front door? I went down a few hallways and a large staircase. 'God these people must be rich.' At the bottom of the staircase, I saw a door with windows placed around it.

Bingo. I just won the 'Find the Door Out' game. And the grand prize is…the way out!

As I opened the door, I saw a few cars and motorbikes parked outside. Since I never driven a car before, that option was ruled out. But I do remember working on motorbikes and building them, so this should make it easy to steal. As I got on, I switched around some wires and the motorbike was running like a dream.

"Shouldn't you go after her Inuyasha?" Said a man sitting behind a desk.

"No. She will be back. She has nowhere to go. And besides, I cant waste my time on a silly girl who has no clue about herself, father." Inuyasha smirked.

So, I stole a bike from some rich people….and yet I have no clue as to where I'm going. Great Kagome….your on a roll now. I could go back home. But I don't know where that is. To a friends house? Do I even have friends?…God! I don't even have money! Either I'll be starved to death, or found by the police for this supposed murder I committed. Why am I so calm about this? Beats the hell out of me. I should be going crazy right now. Maybe it's because I don't remember anything.

I heard sirens behind me…Shit.

I glanced back. They were coming up fast. All the more reason for me to go faster. They were obviously after me, having it only be me and them on the road. I raced into the up coming town. People where busy and running around. I zipped through the cars that were stuck in rush hour. The cap cars stopped not being able to go through like I did. If they were to come after me now, they'd have to be pretty quick runners.

I turned down a lone alley and came out the other end. The place seemed to be abandoned. Almost like a ghost town. I rode out into the street. There were houses to my left. Looked like no one lived in them anymore. I turned into a drive way and drove around the back. I hid the bike in a rusty shed and left to go inside the back door. I looked around the kitchen as I stepped into the room. I coughed from the musty smell and the dust that hung in the air. I turned on the water tap. The water looked disgusting.

Sighing I went through what I think was the living room. Broken glass lay on the floor. I turned on some lights. Thank god there was still electricity. But then I thought that wasn't such a good thing. People would start to wonder why the lights were being turned on in this part of town.

I searched around some more. There were 3 bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom. The master bedroom was huge. Bigger than the living room. The basement had a wine cellar in it. That held many Sake bottles and Vodka….I sure was happy. Though the fact that I didn't have any food or clothes was a problem. I'd have to go back into town. The only was I could get the things I needed was to steal it though. Don't get me wrong, but I steal to survive. That much I know.

I walked into town. The motor bike would give me away if I drove that around. I found a large bag. 'I could use this'. The first shop I went to was a clothes store. I picked up a lot of clothes, some that I didn't even like, and asked to try them on. Once in the change room, I ripped off the price tags and barcodes. I left the clothes that I didn't want in the change room and stuffed the rest into my bag. I didn't want it to be that obvious.

Going from store to store, I did much the same thing. The food was a little bit harder though. I managed to grab cans of food and bottles of water and ripped off the labels. I also got a can opener, candles and a lighter while I thought of it.

I slung my newly stolen backpack over my one shoulder that carried half the food, clothes, and linens. I'd say I did very well for myself. Whether I can do it again though is the question. For the things I got, it could last me up to a month. Just enough time for me to find a job, get some money and leave. After all this… I never wanted to see this town again.

"Well, you are doing very well now aren't you?"

I turned around lazily to see this faceless voice.

"Well, if it isn't my rescuer." I said.

"Well, if it wasn't your rescuer you'd be in deep shit." Inuyasha chuckled.

"May I ask where you got the money for all those things? You didn't exactly have a million dollars let alone a penny when you left." he asked amused.

"What can I say. As long as I don't get caught I can get away with theft."

'Kagome why are you talking to him! He could be here to bring you back! That's it. No more talking.' I mentally scolded myself.

"Aren't you scared that any minute I'm going to turn around and try to kill you?"

'Ok…you just broke rule number 1.' I kept on walking through the alley and to the abandoned house.

"Sorry if this disappoints you, but your less scary than a cat."

"Then answer this…why are you following me?"

'Kagome! Stop it right now! When he leaves oh man you are in big trouble!'

"I was curious as to where you headed off to….how'd you know I was following you?"

"I have a sixth sense, so to speak. Lets just say I had a big advantage in hide and go seek." I went inside the house and Inuyasha followed. He looked around with a disgusted face.

"You shouldn't live here. The police will find you easily in a few days." He said.

"And where else am I to go? The gutters? Nuh uh."

"You should come back with me. Nobody would suspect my family."

'No Kagome. Last resort place remember? You've seen the commercial's. JUST SAY NO.'

'But he's right, I cant stay here. I'd be caught in the first week.' I argued with myself.

'I forbid it! Your just setting yourself up.'

'…you can shut up now.'

"Fine…just one question." I eyed/ glared at him.

"Yes?" He waited.

"Why did you help me? I'm a mere poor person that you found on the street."

"Well I couldn't exactly leave you there now could I? I could have run you over and solved all of our problems. But then, police would be after me for a 'hit and run'." Inuyasha answered smugly.

"Oh so I'm a problem to you now? Why bother coming here then?" I asked interested. I wasn't going to say 'Oh well I don't want to be a problem to you.' To tell the truth…I could care less if I was a bother to him.

"Your right. Why did I bother coming here?" He smirked and walked out.

Fine. Let him walk away. Annoying bastard….that could save my life…that's walking away…Damn it!

I ran after him. I caught him just before he went through the alley.

"Could you get me a job?" I asked.

"What?"

"If I go with you, could you get me a job? Then I'll pay rent or something. Save up for when I leave." I asked again. I wasn't going to beg.

"Yeah. I can get you a job." He said simply.

"Uhh… ok uh thanks. 1 sec I just have to get my clothes." I didn't think it would be that easy…

"Your not bring the clothes you stole are you?"

"Uh yeah. I stole thoes rightfully. And I like them. Plus…your bike is back there." I ran back into the house and grabbed my clothes, put them in the back pack and ran back out. Inuyasha was waiting by the motorbike.

"And to think, I was going to walk back."

"You walked here? My god your crazy."

"Yes well. Lets go before it gets dark again."

He got on the bike….and I guess I was suppose to get on the back…and put my arms around him…which I didn't want to do.

I hesitantly got on and slowly put my arms around his waist. Inuyasha laughed at me. I scoffed and looked away. He was a really fast driver. And by really fast I mean faster than me. It almost looked like time had stopped and it was just us on the bike zipping through town.

We came out to the road that I think no one goes on. Inuyasha's house wasn't that far away. Maybe about a mile or so. We came back into the drive way and parked.

"What did you do to the bike? It drives so much faster now. That's awesome."

"Well uh you know, just switched some wires." Now that I thought about I didn't exactly know how I did it. Just switched some wires and it went….weird.

Inuyasha led me back inside the house.

'Whatever happened to not needing the last resort Kagome.' My head nagged me.

'Could you for once just shut up! If it isn't me going crazy I don't know what is.'

Inuyasha showed be back up to the room that I woke up in earlier that day. I put my stuff on the floor and jumped onto the bed so that I was sprawled out on my back. It felt nice to be off my feet and on a comfy bed that I sunk into. So either I was really fat, or you could just get lost in this bed. That's when my stomach remembered….

…..I hadn't eaten all day. My stomach grumbled the biggest grumble I've ever heard.

"Hungry?" I heard Inuyasha chuckle.

"Well, my stomach says so."

"I'll be back in a minute. Besides, you look anorexic."

I looked at my body. My hip bones stuck out like rockets and my belly was so flat. How long had I gone without eating?

As Inuyasha came back in, I stared at the bread he held in his hand, along with meat, cheese, fruit…and other stuff that looked weird. He set down the plate and I attacked it. All to fast did it go down my stomach. My stomach was now hurting like hell. I ran into the bathroom and puked up all that I just ate….great…just great.

"Did you learn your lesson?" Inuyasha teased.

"Shut up and get me more food or I'll turn into a cannibal and eat you." I warned.

"Alright. Just don't go anywhere."

I sat on the floor of the bathroom and sulked. Why was this happening to me? I never did anything to deserve this did I?

'Well that's your problem Kagome…you don't remember.'

"GO AWAY!" I yelled as I held my head.

"Ok if you really want me to."

I glanced up to see Inuyasha standing there, bread and water in hand.

"No! Don't! I mean…you have food."

He laughed and handed the bread to me.

"Don't eat it fast this time, or else your never going to keep anything in your stomach." He sat beside me.

I couldn't eat anything fast now. I felt so sick that every bite I took felt like I was going to be sick again. Well, that system was working pretty good up until I did puke again.

"What's wrong with me! I ate slow that time! And its just bread!" I yelled frustrated.

I sat back down and pulled my knees to my chest. I wrapped my arms around them and put my head down. I felt a hand rubbing my back. My head snapped up and glared at Inuyasha. He took his hand off my back and held them up as if to say ' Fine, fine, just don't shoot.' Well see if I did have a gun right now, I'd point it at me. Cause this is worse than hell.

Inuyasha held out another piece of bread to me. I took it, determined to get over this thing that decided to make me miserable. It took me about 15 minutes to eat all of the bread…and to throw it back up again.

I started to cry…I never cry. Or I don't remember ever crying. First I cant eat…now I'm crying? I must have the 'everything is after Kagome' disease. I let Inuyasha pick me up and carry me to the bed. He set me down and I curled into the classic fetal position.

"Kagome. Sleep for a while. In the morning we'll see if your any better." Inuyasha soothed as he rubbed my head. I didn't want him to do it. But I felt so weak that I had no choice.

"I'm so hungry. I just wish you would have left me on the road." I trailed off as I went to sleep.

…………………………

Tears stained my face as I looked out the window of the train. The trees were gloomy. Crows flew in the air. I saw a wooden platform in the distance. A sign said '1 mile to Nowhere.'

Yay for 2nd chapter. Oh man…I'm excited…
