'It's him...The guy from my dreams..'
Kagome looked up at the stranger with his beautiful long black hair pulled into a thick braid. She stared at him while being totally lost in her own thoughts.
'This has to be a dream, this is that guy I saw with the fangs, so it can't be real, unless-'
A voice suddenly interrupted Kagome's thoughts, "Hey, what are you staring at?"
"Huh?"
"I said what are you staring at?" The guy said rudely.
"Um..Nothing, I just kinda zoned out..." Kagome answered with a blank look on her face.
"Well get out of here, you shouldn't be here."
"And why not? I can be wherever I like and maybe I like it here. Why did you have to grab me though?"
"I was gonna pick you up and get you away from here, does it really matter?"
"Yeah it does, since that isn't really a polite way to get someone to move."
There was a small silence between the two until Kagome suddenly asked a pretty stupid question.
"Why can't I be here?"
"Stupid girl, if you haven't noticed, it's kinda dangerous right now seeing as some idiot is running around trying to shoot people.. If you ask me I'd say that's a damn good reason to leave."
"Oh..." Was Kagome's only response.
Suddenly she jumped at the sound of another gunshot, a gunshot which sounded much closer than it did before.Kagome started to get really scared and decided maybe she should listen to the guy.
"Well if you want me to leave so badly I will."
She started to walk to the edge of the alley when she ran back towards the stranger she had just left.
"I thought you were leaving." He said sarcastically.
"I would be but the guy with the gun is heading straight towards this way!"
"Crap. You're kidding me right?"
"Yes, of course I am. I'm just saying it so I can spend more time with you." She said sarcastically.
"Well, I'm gonna keep heading towards to other end of this alley, you can stay and rot for all I
care." She stated as she started running towards the end of the long alleyway.
"Wait, I'm coming too."
"Whatever, just hurry up!"
As the two teens ran towards the end they heard gunshots so close it sounded like they were in the alleyway. Maybe, they were. They never stopped to turn backand check. They came to the end and the only thing you heard was the guy's quick response.
"Shit."
A giant garbage truck blocked off the way out. The only way out.
"No! No no no no! Dammit, why would someone park a friggin' truck in the front of a street! How stupid can you get!" Kagome screamed out as she kicked the side of the trunk but quickly regretted it because she really hurt her foot. She started to cry and soon fell to the dirty ground sobbing.
"Shut up wench! You want him to find us? If you keep crying like a frickin' baby he will! Just gimme a minute to try to figure something out!"
"Like what? Can you fly? Because that would be really helpful, we could just fly our way out of here!" Kagome said really pissed off that he insulted her like that.
"I said shut up!"
She looked up at him and noticed his eyes were closed and it looked like he was trying to listen. Kagome suddenly stopped crying and strained to hear anything. Then she knew what he heard. Screaming, and lots of it.
"Oh my god! We have to get out of here!"
"No shit, Sherlock!"
Kagome only glared at him, wishing she could be here with anyone else but him, even Souta.
Suddenly they heard footsteps running towards them, Kagome huddled into a little ball behind some empty trash cans while the guy stood up straight and tried to see who was coming. A man, who look to be in his thirties, ran up to them and realized the exit was blocked off.
"Dammit!" He said while looking around, taking in the two other people who were standing near him. He eyed the younger male and asked warily,
"Who are you?"
"I should ask the same to you."
"So? I asked you first so you have to answer first."
"That's pretty immature." He snorted.
"Fine! It doesn't matter who we are, just we have to get out of here! There's some psychopath running around with a gun shooting anyone who even looks at him!"
"No, really? I think me and this girl here already figured that much out already."
"Well then why are you just standing here? We should try to-"
The older man was suddenly cut off as he was shot in the head. Kagome screamed and squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears as the man fell towards the ground with blood pouring from his wound. Suddenly they saw who shot him. He looked to be around his late twenties and also looked like he just broke outta a room filled with spongy walls and the only fashion statement there was strait jackets.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him.. She was scared so badly she was shaking
'This is it, I'm gonna die sitting behind garbage cans in the middle of a disgusting alley with some guy I don't even know.'
As she looked at this 'guy she didnt know' he ran forward quickly and fiercly kicked the maniac in the gut. He dropped to his knees, but didn't let go of the gun. She kept watching as the psycho got up and sudenly whacked the stranger on the head with the butt of his gun. Kagome just stared as she saw her only hope to getting out of here drop to the ground clutching his head as his vision went blurry and the psycho started to walk his way towards her. She started to cry again and squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears.
"Don't worry beautiful, I'm not gonna hurt you."
He squatted in front of her and grabbed both her tiny wrists with one of his huge hands. He started to stand up pulling her up with him. Kagome opened her eyes and all she could do was cry.
"C'mon now, don't cry. It hurts me to see such a doll like you crying." He said while smling crazily.
"What are you gonna do to me if you're not gonna hurt me?"She said trying to keep her voice from shaking.
"Hehe, many things, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it." The maniac said with a small laugh.
Kagome just cried harder and harder as the psycho started to lean forward to kiss Kagome. Something then whipped out behind his knees and he fell to the ground. He let go Kagomeof as he fell, but she didn't get a chance to stand so she fell down with him. She looked up and noticed that the guy was standing behind the psycho with some blood trickling through his dark hair and onto his face. Kagome got up slowly and hugged the guy tightlty.
"Thank you so much! You saved me!"
The guy just blushed.
"It wasn't that big of a deal, and you should watch out seeing as he's starting to get up again."
She turned around quickly and noticed he was right. She ran behind her 'savior' and tried to in a way hide behind him.
"What was that for? Couldn't you see I was busy with the lady?"
"Yeah, that's exactly why I did that."
Well, you're gonna pay for that!"
He cocked his gun and started shooting at them both. Kagome ran towards the garbage truck trying to get away while the stranger ran the other way, towards the street. He ran so far ahead Kagome couldn't see him anymore and the psycho just ran after him, still shooting. She started to go after them but decided it was a bad idea. She looked around her and all she saw was smashed bottles, some old cigarette butts, trash cans and the older man's dead body.
'Great, I can't even grab something to go help that guy.'
She decided to get a little farther away from the body and sat down, just waiting. There was nothing else she could do. If she went down there she might get shot and there was no other way out. She saw someone come out of the darkness and she got up and tried to see who it was. It was him! And he was okay. Aside from the fact that he had some blood coming out of his mouth and he still had some over his head from earlier he looked fine. She ran towards him and hugged him again. She didn't know why but she really liked to hug this random guy. Then she remembered who he was. She stepped away from him and he just stared at her. Suddenly she took in the sight. He had blood trickling from his mouth.Was it just a coincidence?
"What's your name?"
"Um, it's InuYasha...And yours is...?"
"Kagome Higurashi."
"Well, Kagome, I guess you can go home now..."
"Wait, why do you have blood coming out of your mouth."
He quickly wiped at his mouth with his sleeve and his eyes widened.
"Oh, uh, that guy back there... He uhh...Punched me and I think he was wearing a ring or
something."
"Oh."
They started to walk towards the end of the alley, they walked past the body of the guy and who was attacking them (Kagome couldn't bring herself to look at the body) and got to the end. There a group of men surrounding them.
"Finally we found you InuYasha! Naraku has been looking for you everywhere!"
"Not now, I just got out of a fight and I don't feel like fighting you!"
"Well men, get him and I guess you can bring the girl along too, maybe Naraku enjoy having some female company."
They rushed at InuYasha and Kagome and InuYasha just fought them off like swatting flies, but there were so many they started to get surrounded because InuYasha was getting tiredso he decided on an idea.
"Hey, Kagome!" He said only loud enough for her to hear. "On the count of three im gonna pick you up and run, 'kay?"
She only nodded and got ready.
"One."
"Two."
"Three!"
InuYasha scooped up Kagome in his arms and jumped over on man while kicking another. He just kept running. Kagome looked back and wasn't really surprised at what she saw.
"Hey! They're following us!"
"Crap."
He kept on running as fast as he could, which turned out to be really, really fast. Kagome didn't know where he was going, but it seemed he knew where he was going. After a couple of turns and twists he took a short cut through a park. They ended up at a pretty big house. He walked up the steps and opened the door.
"Where are we?" Kagome asked.
"Welcome to my house." Was his simple reply.
