"Miroku! Get your ass over here now!" Inuyasha yelled as his victim came into view. Miroku looked at him terrified and started to look for a place to hide. "It's no use you know. He'll catch you before you take 20 steps. He's faster than most people on track. You Baka!" Sango told him as he started to run down the hall trying to escape before his brutal death. Miroku tuned a pale shade as he dodged Inuyasha's fist, which hit the lockers hard.

"You bastard. You knew it was going to happen. You just had to do it didn't you?" Inuyasha sneered through clenched teeth. "Now Inuyasha don't be hast-" Miroku said panicking, backing up as far as possible before the lockers stopped him. His eyes widened as Inuyasha threw another punch at him. Miroku just managed to dodge it but only by an inch or so. 'Way too close for comfort!' he thought with his eyes wide.

Sango and Ana decided that that was enough and stepped in between the two shielding him from Inuyasha. "What did he do this time?" Ana asked folding her arms. "I don't wanna talk about it. He knows. Its his fault!" Inuyasha retorted pointing at Miroku who gave a nervous smirk. Inuyasha glared at him. Miroku subsided his smirk and went into a full grin as he got a devilish glint in his eyes.

"It's 3:00. You know what to do. And do it now no excuses go- HENTAI!" Sango yelled slapping Miroku hard across the face making him hit his head on the lockers behind him. Inuyasha looked down at the pathetic piece of perverted lump on the ground and grunted. "What? Arnt you suspost to be going and putting our little plan into action? THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE DAMN IT!" she yelled starting to panic as she realized what day it was. The 'Underground Wars' were coming up in a good month and a half and they needed to perfect everything right down to the dance step before then.

Inuyasha thought about it a minuet grumbling to himself and fighting with his new found feelings. "No. You do it. I'm going home. I'm sure the lump on the ground wouldn't mind doing it. Now fuck off and leave me alone." he sneered as he walked away. "GET THE FUCK BACK HERE NOW!" Sango yelled after him. Inuyasha just gave her the finger not even bothering to turn around before he disappeared out the main doors. "Fuck!" She yelled punching the lockers next to Miroku's head, who ducked and covered in fear of being hit again. "Get up were going." She snapped as she stomped down the hall. "Remind me never to get her pissed like that." Miroku said to Ana who nodded in agreement before following the enraged girl.

"Fucking think they can control my life and decisions. Shit I'm the only fucking person who is aloud to do that. And that damn wench, fucking making me fall for her-" Inuyasha rambled on and on before stopping in mid sentence. 'That's not true…she may like me but she never did once do anything to make me like her. So why all the sudden do I?' he thought as he kicked open his house door. "Oie! Don't fucking kick the door down. Open it like a normal human being you bastard." Sesshomaru his older half-brother snapped coolly as he stomped in. "Shut up fluffy!" he snapped back and dogged the vase that came flying at his head. "What are you aiming for? I'm not a fucking wall you idiot." Inuyasha sneered as he dodged another ceramic item.

Kagome walked inside her home and was greeted by her butler Jeves. "hello." she said nonchalantly walking into the kitchen. "Your late. Where have you been? Where do you keep going after school?" Her father asked. He was generally a nice person when business was good otherwise he was a ass. He was the biggest enforcer of her reputation. It had to be perfect, better than perfect, cause if his daughter had a bad reputation…it would cost him business and business is money. So in the end she decided not to tell her parents of her detention and Forged her mums signature. "Oooo Kagome's in trouble again!" Souta her little brother snickered. "Shut up twerp." she snapped. "Don't tell your brother to shut up! Now you answer me!" Her father snapped back at her. "Fine I wont. And its none of your business." she said coolly taking a soda out of the frige. "Don't tell me what is and isn't my business. I'll decide that for myself. Now where were you?" "Detention." her father narrowed his eyes. "Stupid stupid girl. What did you do to get a damn detention?" he sneered. "Nothing. I was late for class one to many times and the teacher is a fucking asshole." she said sitting down on a stool. That was a mistake, which earned her a good smack across the face. "Watch your tongue. And I'm sure you were in a deserted classroom fucking some S.O.B's bastard son." "Oh yes dad didn't you know I'm a whore who loves selling sex to punks. Oh and my most recent was Inuyasha. Boy did he beg like a little puppy." She said sarcastically. That earned her another slap.

"You slut. don't you dare say such stupid things that could cost you your life as you know it." "Oh break my heart. I cant live without the stuffed tiger in the hallway." she said rolling her eyes. "You ungrateful bitch. Go up to your room now and don't come down until our guests get here. Now GO!" he snapped pointing upstairs. She obliged knowing that if she didn't she would end up like her cousin Ayame; apparently child abuse ran in the family on her dad's side. She slammed the door behind her and threw herself on her bed crying her eyes out. "Why does he have to be such a bastard!" she yelled punching her pillow repeatedly. She had a pretty good bad mood worked up and decided to go on the internet.

She clicked open her AIM and checked to see who was on. No one. Nada.

She was looking through her many favorite websites when a pop up well popped up. She was about to click out of it when she noticed it was a 'Accept chat from MoonNightmare'? She shrugged and clicked on 'yes' what could it hurt right?

MoonsNightmare: Yo
DarknessOfTheNight: Do I know you? O.o
MoonsNightmare: yes
DarknessOfTheNight: and you are?
MoonsNightmare: not telling.
DarknessOfTheNight: Okay…are we close?
MoonsNightmare: Not really.
DarknessOfTheNight: Are we friends?
MoonsNightmare: idk
DarknessOfTheNight: okay…uh…how well do I know you?
MoonsNightmare: Pretty well. But not real well you hardly know me but you know me.
DarknessOfTheNight: uh…I don't get it but w/e.
MoonsNightmare: Didn't think you would.
DarknessOfTheNight: right…
MoonsNightmare: You okay?
DarknessOfTheNight: Oh I'm just peachy talking to a known complete stranger and being locked in my room. hear my sarcasm
MoonsNightmare: Wanna talk about it?
DarknessOfTheNight: Not if I don't know who you are.
MoonsNightmare: Then go to your shrine. We'll talk.
DarknessOfTheNight: What so yo-
MoonsNightmare: I promise you I wont hurt you. Or rape you or whatever the hell your thinking I'm gonna do.
DarknessOfTheNight: uh…right. Sorry I cant. I'll be in real shit if I do leave.
MoonsNightmare: Then sneak out.

Kagome thought about it weighing her chances. "If I do sneak out and meet this mystery person. He could either A) Rape me B) kill me C) Molest me or D) be a pretty nice caring guy. And if I stay here I'll be shoved out in a pretty little cocktail dress and act like a Barbie and flirt with a rich old guy so my father can get a business deal signed. Get beaten or be Barbie? Mystery person or rich old guy? Slim chance of success." In the end she finally decided.

DarknessOfTheNight: …….Okay.
MoonsNightmare: Meet you there.
DarknessOfTheNight: Kay
MoonsNightmare: (instant reply) The Sun shines only to those who think life is meant for those who love… Fuck this! I'd rather fuck it up and live it out before I listen to a winy chick talk about poetry and love! See ya!

Kagome laughed, It sounded like something she would say.

She got up and walked into her closet and pulled aside all the clothes in the very back to revel a small door that blended in with the wall. She opened it and pulled out what was hidden inside. She put on the clothes and did her hair before, locking her bedroom door and opening her window and crawling out onto the trellis that was below it. "How stupid can they be?" it was dark now and a perfect time to escape. She jumped off when she reached the bottom and walked across the edges of the yard. A car pulled up and said old man got out of it followed by a women not much younger than him.

She smirked and walked right by them before walking out of sight leaving the disgusted people behind, and walking to her destination. She wasn't close but it was in walking distance a good 20 min walk. She sighed again and pulled out her CD player putting the headphones on as she walked. She couldn't remember what CD was still in it but was happy when she found out it was her 'Malice Mizer' CD (LOVE THEM! Gackt and J-Rock RULE! cough anyway)
She walked up the steps of the shrine 20 minuets later just as the CD came to the end. She entered the shrine grounds and sat at the base of the ancient old God tree. "So what were you listening to?" came a voice from behind her.

He watched as a girl he didn't recognize came up the steps. 'Shit maybe I got the IM address wrong. Then again Ayame said it was right…' he thought as a girl with long perfectly straight hair, baggy black bondage pants, and a black semi tight shirt on along with black and red all star chucks and a studded choker came up the steps. His first thought was 'Kikyou's gone Emo' then he took a closer look from his perch in the tree and noticed she was younger and much prettier than Kikyou. 'My God! Is that seriously her!' he thought in aw as he jumped down from the tree and landed in the moons light. "so what were you listening to?" he asked stepping into her range of vision. She jumped terrified. "Malice Mizer…Inuyasha? That you?" she asked stepping back a step as he came towards her. "You got good taste." "Thanks. Uh…yeah." she answered unsure of what to do or say next. She remained in the shadows hiding herself from the shining light of the moon and the rest of the world.

"What happened to your face? Ana didn't punch you again did she?" he asked motioning to the red almost purple cheek. She hastily pulled her heair our from behind her ear to cover the mark. "Nothing. I-I ran into a wall." She lied looking at the ground. 'That was pathetic Kagome! Makes you sound like your and idiot!' she rambled on in her mind. "Your lying. I can tell. But I wont push it, I can tell that you don't really wanna talk about it." "Thanks. What did you wanna meet me here for?" She asked still unsure of what to think anymore. "Just to talk." He said innocently sitting down against the ancient tree. She chose to remain standing in the shadows of the tree. "Why?" she asked curiosity taking over her. "Look. When you moved here something happened and we got off to a rough start-" he was cut off by Kagome huffing a little laugh.

"Okay a really bad start. But…things are happening again, and this time. I don't wanna be your enemy." He said looking past Kagome who was standing in front of him. "Okay. Who put you up to it? Why are you being so nice all the sudden?" she asked laughing slightly. He looked up at her silencing her laugh. "No one put me up to it. I just decided their needs to be a change." Kagome thought about it for a wile. "A change huh? Okay…I guess I understand what you mean. This doesn't have anything to do with me joining your band does it?" She asked giving him a sideways look. "Ha for once…its not." he said truthfully. 'He's serious…he's actually being nice to me…' She thought as a light smile formed on her lips.

"Well then lets talk." she said sitting down next to him with her back up against the tree. "First off. Friends?" he asked holding out his fist. She thought about it. "Only if we can continue our relationship at school and keep it as best a secret as possible its kinda fun. I actually look forward to it." She giggled holding her fist in mid flight. He laughed he to did enjoy their little wars at school. "Okay deal." he answered and she bumped her fist with his and that was the beginning of a new friendship. "Second off. No telling anyone. I cant risk it getting back to my father…that would be bad. And I cant dress how I want to…at least in school. That would be bad too…" she trailed on swirling her figures in the dirt making little swirly patterns. "Why not? If you wanna dress this way why don't you? Who's stopping you from being you?" he asked looking at her. She didn't return the look. "My parents. Or at least my Father. I have to be perfect so he can get business. He's obsessed with it now that I'm all popular and stuff, now that he knows I'm actually worth something. Apparently only I can get us business, without my reputation we would be back in the poor house." she explained a little flatly.

"Your father? So that's one of the reasons you were so eager to get on the cheerleading squad. You wanted to make your father proud." he reasoned. "Not quite. He put me up to it. Said 'Start out fresh do whatever it takes only you can bring us business.' I've always hated cheerleaders. And I never wanted to be one. But he forced me to. He forced me to become what I am. I hate him…" She trailed on again unconsciously moving her hand up to the light bruise on her cheek. "Oh… I think I get it now…" he said as he noticed her hand lingering on her cheek and her eyes becoming cold as she did so. "Um…Kagome…Tell me if I'm outta line…but dose he beat you?" he asked preparing for a rampaging scream. It never came. She was silent not looking at him showing no emotion once so ever. "I'll take that as a yes." he concluded. "Please…don't…tell anyone…" she said in barley a whisper.

He looked at her she still held no emotion on her face...but her eyes betrayed her cool complexion; they were full of fear.

"I promise. I wont even tell Sango and Miroku and I trust them with everything." "Thanks" she whispered in return. "Hey…Inuyasha…what's it like? Being free?" she asked turning to him. He was silent for the longest time then he looked at her and smiled. "I'll show you…not tonight though. In a week. Meet me back here. Next Friday I'll show you what its like to be free." He said grinning. She thought about it and in the end decided that just maybe… she could be herself…even if it was just for one night. "What like a date?" she asked jokingly. He smirked.

"If you don't want to that's fine. Your choice." he said getting up and walking away. Kagome sat there dumbfounded. 'What! A-a date? Is he serious!' she thought shocked remembering how serious he seemed to actually be. She then got up and ran and jumped onto his back hugging him from behind. "Okay I'll go on this "date" of yours." she laughed happily, letting go. "Sweet. Wear something no one will recognize you in, like what your wearing now is hot looking." he winked and he noticed her blush slightly. "You don't think anyone will recognize me in this?" she asked surprised.

"Heh I didn't even recognize you at first I had to double take a good two times to realize it was you." "Really? I look that different? Cool." she said as she looked at her watch. "Shit! I gotta go my dad is gonna freak!" she called back as she ran down the steps of the shrine and as fast as she could down the street. "Bye." he said waving a few seconds after it registered in his head that she was gone.

"Well that was easy enough. A little to soon for my liking. I mean seriously I just realized I liked her today, but it seemed like she needs someone there for her right now, so why the hell not? She really dose sound like she's alone. And she's really different from the person I know at school." Inuyasha said to himself as he walked down the steps of the shrine. "God now I'm talking to myself." he finally said before silencing his trail of thoughts.
