Disclaimer; I don't own him yet…..but one of these days waves fist
Ch2; Rescue
Two golden eyes swept through the busy street of Tokyo, unseen by hundreds of people, walking unsuspectingly on the sidewalk below him. These eyes darted from person to person, waiting for one of them to innocently turn off of the highway and into the dark side-street.
It took every ounce of self control he had not to leap down and sweep one off of the puny mortals off the streets. He had been a fool to put his meals off for so long. And because of that his senses were overwhelming, and he was willing to risk his exposure to quench his gory hunger. It had been almost two weeks since he had fed, and he was getting a little unruly.
His attention was directed to a tall, lean man in his late twenties. The man was currently turning into the dark, unlit streets that probably lead to his home, while whistling a catchy toon. The dark figure on the rooftops began to follow him, eyes wide with eagerness.
Silent as a mouse, the figure leapt down behind a dumpster, his now red eyes following the unsuspecting man's every move. He was too eager. He had to wait for the perfect moment. Soon. He kept repeating just a little bit further. Soon the man turned the corner, and there were no witnesses around who could witness his attack. This must be his lucky day. But now he couldn't contain his lust any more.
He struck.
Kyle leapt to the rooftops, licking his fangs in satisfying pleasure. Tonight he had been in luck. Most humans who wandered into those back roads were homeless and underfed, giving them a grotesque taste. To him, it was like dish soap. But he dared not hunt in anywhere more populated - that could be disastrous. So to his immense displeasure, he was confined within the back roads and alleys. Fortune had smiled upon his being tonight though; this meal had shown signs of regular feeding and good health. It was the best he had fed in months.
He flicked the locks of silver hair out of his face as the rooftops flew past him. His guard was up as usual, prepared for an attack at any time. Every muscle in his body was tense, ready to jump at any lingering shadow or motionless form.
He had been a fool, allowing his human activities to delay the most important aspect of his being. True, his current state did prolong his urges, yet several weeks had somehow slipped by without his notice, and he had allowed his senses to take over in his ravenous lust. Putting it off that long was a truly stupid thing to do. What if his blood had overwhelmed him while he was in public? He might have attacked Miroku!It was all the stupid schools fault! If he hadn't been so caught up in homework, he might not have had to put it off for so long. But it seemed like Miroku and Sango have been booking his weekends solid, which made it increasingly hard for him to sneak out unnoticed to quench his thirst for blood.
"Danm humans." He growled. "Why don't they just leave me alone." But he knew that he was lying to himself. Despite his attempts to make as little human contact as possible during high school, Sango and Miroku wouldn't leave him alone. He kept trying to ignor them, but they had wanted to be his friend, and thus they had persisted until he hung out with them. And, though he had tryed to ignor them, the two of them had grown on him like leaches. He would be very upset of anything happened to either of them. That was why, years ago, he had given them each a bracelet that had been dipped in Holy Water, which they swore to wear every day. They had thought it was very unlike him, but they had agreed to it nonetheless. With them wearing it, he would never be able to hurt them if he somehow lost control and his vampire side took over. But it had been extremely difficult for him to get and bring them the presents, since he couldn't touch them, but he had managed. He absolutely hated to admit it, but they were important to him.
ARGH! How could I let this happen? Its disgraceful! Inuyasha thought to himself angrily. Human friends? This is not what was supposed to happen! I never meant to get attached!
It was true. He had not wanted to befriend humans. He didn't even want to go to school. He merely wanted to become a full-blooded vampire, and school was not an option or a want for the darkest, most lustful creature of the night! But he had made a promise…long ago. And with all of his cold heart and bloodthirsty soul, swearing on the life of his past love, he WOULD keep that promise.
Within seconds, Inuyasha leapt down off of the rooftops landing on the doorstep of his apartment. Just as he was about to open the door, his extra sensitive nose picked up a strong scent that made him feel an un-explainable stroke of hunger and an unexplicable desire for warm, fresh blood. But...that shouldn't be so...he just fed. Hunger shouldn't come again for several days. Inuyasha froze in his tracks and lifted his nose to the air eagerly, checking once again to be sure his nose wasn't playing tricks on him. There it was! The scent of a Miko! In the blink of an eye, Inuyasha had leapt back up to the rooftops.
Kagome walked down the dark street with a sense of uneasiness. She hated these streets! They were so dark and creepy…but it was the fastest way home that she knew of. Actually it was the only way home that she knew of…other then the hwy, but she didn't have a car. If only she had been living there longer, she may have found a more appealing way home.
To make matters worse, Kagome had this scary suspicion that she was being followed. Kagome, stop being stupid! There is no one there. You are being paranoid. Just then she heard faint footsteps behind her.
She whipped around fearfully, only to find an empty street behind her. See. Nothing there. She told herself, trying to calm herself down with little success. She just turned around and kept walking, forcing her pace to stay normal. But she could still hear the footsteps, footsteps that were slowly getting louder and closer. Kagome began walking faster, hoping to get home as fast as she could without being obvious. But the faster she ran, the faster and closer the footsteps were getting. She began to panic now, and ran as fast as her feet would carry her down the dimly lit street. Unfortunately, she was starting to loose her sense of direction, and she was beginning to tire out. Fast.
Kagome quickly did a set of twists and turns, no longer caring where she was going as long as she got away from whoever was following her. After she had made a series of turns, she ducked behind a wall to catch her breath. She couldn't hear anything. Maybe she lost him.
Her sigh of relief quickly turned into an unheard scream as she felt a cold hand clamp over her mouth. Kagome was roughly pushed against a wall as strong hands pinned hers to the wall above her head, the owner now kissing her roughly. Her attempts to push him off were useless, and she couldn't wrench her hands free. So she resorted to kneeing him in the shins.
The man grunted in pain and released her wrists. Kagome took this opportunity to make a break for it. She ran to the left…only to be met with a wall. Danm it! She turned around to run past him, but the man had managed to recover first, and once again had her pinned to the wall. "You little bitch. You will pay for that." Came a hoarse growl He began kissing her again, this time more forceful. Tears began to fall down Kagome's cheeks, then she got an idea.
Kagome Bit down on his tongue. Hard. With a low hiss, he pulled his mouth away from hers, though he still had her pinned. But that was all she needed: she screamed.
Inuyasha heard the scream and ran faster. He needed that human, and he couldn't let anything happen to her…at least until he finished school. Then he didn't give a danm. He landed on the roof above where The two people were. Inuyasha looked down at the scene and immediately growled. I can't interfere. I can't expose myself. But I can't just let him rape her. That goes against my code. Besides, my miko must be pure. I will only help if the stupid wench can't get away herself.
Inuyasha watched them closely, a little sickened by the way the man was kissing her roughly. He used all of his self restraint to force himself to remain unseen: if she saw him, everything would be ruined! Though, as much as he was trying NOT to inferfear, his mind was made up when he saw the man's arms begin to wander up the wench's shirt, and undoing the buttons. Eyes red with fury, Inuyasha leapt down iin one swift motion and punched the guy square in the face. Caught completely on unawares, the man fell to the ground, but he pulled the girl with him.
"Hey buddy. Wanna try letting that girl go?" Inuyasha growled, cracking his claws threateningly.
The man just glared at him while stroking Kagome's cheek, makeing her shiver and try to pull away in a sickening terror. "No way. This one's mine! Go find your own." He smirked, pulling Kagome closer to him as he stood up. "We are going to have some fun, aren't we sweetheart?"
Inuyasha looked down at the girl, her eyes were wide with horror as she now tried even harder to wiggle out of the mans strong grasp. "Something tells me that she'd rather not." He growled feircely, glareing hard at him, "I'll ask you one last time; let the girl go."
Then man looked behind him, to see the end of the alley. He smirked and retreated towards the wall, when suddenly he grabbing Kagome's head and slamed it roughly into the brick wall. With a sharp gasp she fell to the ground, and was still. Inuyasha's eyes were wide, and the man grinned at her lustfully. "Don't you go anywhere, dearie. I'm not finished with you yet." The man pulled out a knife from his back pocket. "You ready to go, tough guy?" He grinned, looking up to where Inuyasha was, only to see an empty ally. He glanced around him in confusion, but saw no sign of his opponent. Shrugging, the man put the knife back in his pocket and turned back to Kagome. It was then that a dark shadow rose up behind him menacingly, eyes dark with hate. The man looked over his shoulder, fear bleeding through his eyes.
"First mistake."
"Hey. Girl. You alright?" Inuyasha asked, shaking her slightly. He smirked as he saw her eyes open weakly. "Ah, so you are alive."
Kagome put a hand up to her throbbing head, and looked around at the fallen man who had almost raped her. Then she looked up at Inuyasha, whose face she couldn't see in the dark. "You…saved me?" she murmured, slightly dizzy. Without a second thought she thrust herself forward and into the unsuspecting Inuyasha's arms, tears falling down her cheeks. "Thank you." She whispered. "Thank you."
Inuyasha's body was tensed up. This was defiantly not what he had expected, or what he wanted. He hated when girls cried. Unsure of what to do, he gave her a hesitant pat on the back. "Uh…there there…its ok. Don't cry." He looked down at her awkwardly, then noticed that she was slowly drifting into sleep. "Wait a minute. Where do you live?" he asked.
"The big shrine. On 23rd." she murmured "My head...why...hurts..." that was all she could get out before she went unconcious again.
Inuyasha looked down at her fearfully, worried that she might be in trouble from that blow to the head, but she seemed to be fine. Inuyasha's greatful sigh soon turned into a hearty smirk as he gazed at her unconcious body, eyes falling to her tilted head, neck wide open and inviting. His eyes turned bright red, hunger flowing through him as he leaned in closer, fangs bared and gleaming in the moonlight. he was almost beyond the point of control... but as the bare tip of his fangs touched her skin lightly, he froze.
Why did he stop? What was this hesitation preventing him from warm blood on his fangs? This prey, so open and so delectable that he could not control himself, was being denied him. Why was this so? Inuyasha paused for a moment, fangs still resting on the un-peirced flesh. There was a small voice in his head. It was so tiny that it was bearly being heard. But there it was all the same, saying only one word: Promise.
His eyes went wide. He had a promise to keep! Yet his eyes still lingered longingly on the young girls pulsing neck...he was so close! He had fought to save her, and earned what he wanted, yet he knew he could not have it. At least not yet. But still, the agony was ripping through him as he watched her steady breathing, wanting to see her pale body wriggleing as he sucked it dry mercilessly. There was nothing preventing him from a tiny taste, just not blood. Regretfully he withdrew his fangs and replaced it with his tounge. He put his tounge to her skin and licked her neck longingly, taste of warm flesh filling his mouth and overwhelming his senses. Catching himself in time, Inuyasha managed to withdraw before he did something he would regret. While attempting to calm himself, he remembered that she had told him where she lived: he smirked widely. "Usefull bit of information. I can use that to my advantage, and your dimise, at the end of the year. But…until then." He sighed and picked her up bridal style and leapt to the roofs once more, heading to her house.
When he arrived there, he simply laid her on the front porch. Being careful not to be seen, Inuyasha rang the doorbell and dived for the bushes. A woman answered the door, gasping when she saw the unconscious girl, and quickly brought her inside. But not before she skimmed the area to see if there was anyone there. Seeing no one, she wasted no time bringing the girl inside and shutting the door.
Smirking again, Inuyasha turned around and headed to his apartment. "Give it under a years time. Then you will be mine."
