Catse: Here's that update! Just as I promised! Well, I'll let you read it if you like now! Ja Ne for now!


Disclaimer: Well...you know this already so I'll let you read.
That day went along as yesterday had, only this day, he had two girls come up to him asking if they could go out with him, and considering he didn't know what they meant by "go-out" he turned them both down and kept on working. Besides, if it meant what he thought it meant, then he would rather do it with Kagome, and not a pair of girls he had never before seen in his life. After he was finished with the cafeteria, and had eaten his lunch, he spent the rest of his time cleaning the other boy's bathrooms around the school, and a few more classrooms. When it was time for him to leave the school, he waved goodbye to Jaki, and then decided that he would be better off walking the same way home he had taken to get school that morning.

But as he walked, he began to get a creeping feeling that something wasn't right. There was something going on nearby that his demon senses couldn't ignore.

Following his instinct, he decided to check it out, and following it to an old warehouse around the outskirts of town, he found the problem.

The door was open, and he crept in, finding that a group of about…five guys was hovering together over a whimpering being Inu came to realize was a girl.

They chattered together sluggishly, in which Inuyasha could barely understand what was being said, and then, one of them hit the crying person below them with a crow bar.

Although this wasn't Inu's time, and he was certain that if he interfered, he would become more known in this city than he wanted, his hanyou heart wouldn't let him leave.

So, steeling a sigh of determination, he walked towards the group, his hands folded before him.

"What the hell is goin' on here?" He inquired, using the most fright stirring voice he could come up with.

"None ah your business." One of the men replied, glaring at Inu.

The other returned the same glare, in which only made Inu smiled. Now this was what he was talking about! No polite bows of the head or kind smiles! Hell no! Just a hell of a lot of kicking ass! Now this was what he liked.

"Who you beatin' senseless?" Inu wondered out loud, trying to look interested to throw them off.

"What's it matter tah yah? Keep askin' and we'll give yah reason to leave, so yah better get goin' while you still can."

Inu quirked a brow, his grin broadening.

"Me leave? Gee…I don't think anyone's leavin' here if you wanna play games. So…who's up first?"

"You serious?" One asked with a strong accent. "You think you can waltz in here and kick our asses like some sort ah Super man. Keh…." He laughed out loud, walking away from the whimpering girl that was still hidden behind a table. "Then bring it on. We'll show yah what we know."

To say that Inu beat them that afternoon, would have been an understatement.

He whooped them would be better. He threw one of them into a beaten window, in which followed that toss with the crowbar to his behind that pushed him out all the way through the glass. The next one had his temple meet with Inu's fist, and the contact ended up throwing the man's back into an old retired metal contraption that was being stored in the old building. The third and fourth guys Inuyasha used against each other, tossing their heads into one another to form a headbutt, and then thrusting his fists into each of their abdomens at the same time, tossing them sideways. The last guy, the one closest to the girl, stepped back and dragged the girl up with him, putting a sharp pocket knife he had pulled out at the last minute on the girl's throat.

"Come closer and I make this look like you killed her." The man replied, a grimy smile reaching his lips. His smile fell though, as he looked over Inu. Inuyasha hadn't noticed it himself, but his Janitor's cap had fallen off, revealing a pair of yellow tinted ears.

Inu merely grinned back.

"Put that any closer to her neck and I'll make it look like I killed you."

The man stood in confusion a moment, giving Inu all the time he needed, to leap over him and grab him from the back of the neck, his claws digging into the veins that were there with a strong vengeance.

The man immediately dropped the girl, and stepped back unsurely, nails deep in blood at his throat.

"Now. Usually I would slice off your head and be done with it, but I don't think this era likes that very much, so I'm gonna be nice and leave you and your buddies to run, and run as fast as you can. If I find you anywhere nearby, or pulling something like this again when I'm near, I will kill you."

The man nodded, trembling, and when Inu let him go, he ran to the door, and left the building screaming that demons had attacked him.

Inu looked at his bloody hand with a frown. He hadn't thought Kagome's time was so dangerous, but in any case, if that was the only enemy here, then he wouldn't have much to worry about.

The girl he saved had slumped to the floor in fright, her hands and ankles tied in a bit of frazzled rope that didn't look strong enough to keep her pinned.

With practiced hands, Inu shredded the rope and let the girl go free, frowning when he noticed the deep pink rope burns where it had been, and the scratched and bruises already forming on her body.

"You should have fought them you know." He replied gruffly, looking over her wounds. "Then you would have at least gone down with a fight."

"A-Are you gonna hurt me…Mr….Um…"

"It's Smith if you wanna call me something." He commented dryly, helping her to stand.

"And no, I'm not gonna hurt you."

"Oh…well…Um…okay…Wait…Aren't you…Yeah you are aren't you?"

"Huh?" Inuyasha wondered out loud, staring at the girl. He was very displeased to find that she was wearing the same uniform as Kagome.

'Oh no…I did it now.'

"You're that Janitor from school aren't you! Oh wow! You're a demon! So cool! No wonder you were so hot!"

Inu's ears fell in agitation.

"If you tell anyone…and I mean anyone…I will kill you in the most bloodiest and slowest of ways—"

"Don't worry. I won't tell a soul. By the way, my name's Riku. What's your name?"

"I already told you. I'm—"

"You're first name." Riku interrupted.

Inu's ears tried to stick closer to his scalp than they ever had before.

"It's Inu. Inuyasha if you want the whole thing."

"Oh…Okay Inuyasha. Can I call you that at school?"

"NO!" Inu half-near shouted.

It brushed over her head, and still Riku smiled.

"Okay. Why not?"

Inu sighed as he answered.

"None of your business you nosy kid!"

Riku smiled wistfully as she replied. "If you don't tell me then I'll inform the entire school that you have cute white doggy ears, and then everyone will want to check."

'And this is what I get for saving her. I should have just let them beat her to death.'

"You promised not to tell a soul, did you not?" he inquired, walking away with a glare on his face.

"I didn't promise. I only said I wouldn't tell a soul. But since it's only words, I can take it back anytime I choose."

"I should have just let them kill you! I don't need this!" Inu yelled back, leaning down to pick up his cap. When it was securely on his head, he began to walk from the building.

"Hey! Wait up!" She shouted, following. "Look, I'm sorry. I just really wanted to know. By the way, thank you for saving me. How about we be friends?"

"I don't need friends." Inuyasha answered back, glaring.

She stopped for a moment and watched him leave, a look of thoughtfulness on her face.

"I know! If we become friends, I'll keep the girls off of you at school! How's that?" She inquired, chasing after him.

"I don't need you!" He replied, and the night was filled with their bickering as Inuyasha left to return home, the little dark haired girl following him most of the way.
