The Name

InuYasha walked into Naraku's office. "Listen Naraku. I'm-"

"Ah, InuYasha I was waiting for you. This is who you are going to kill." Naraku handed InuYasha a piece of paper.

InuYasha stared at the piece of paper. "I'm not going to do this job." He turned and left.

"Big Mistake."

Kagome was walking to school, 'InuYasha what's going on? What predicament did you get yourself into?'

"Kagome!" Her friends met her at the bus stop.

"Hey!" Kagome ran over to them.

At school, Hojo was waiting for Kagome. "Hi, Kagome."

"Oh, hello Hojo."

"Are you doing anything tonight?" Hojo asked hopefully.

"Ano…." Kagome had to think. Wasn't InuYasha supposed to come over tonight? "Yah I'm busy tonight, sorry, maybe next time."

InuYasha was packing up when a note was slid under his door. He didn't like what it said. It had a name and address. On the back: In case you change your mind...

Kagome was waiting for InuYasha on the front porch. She hoped that he had turned Naraku down.

"Kagome! He's here!" Souta was making funny faces at her.

Kagome ran down the stairs and opened the door.

"Kagome! You've got to get away from here." InuYasha grabbed Kagome and pulled her out the door. "You're the one! You're the one he wants dead!"

"What? I've never even seen this Naraku person! Why would he want me?"

"I don't know. But he definitely knows you're here!" InuYasha instructed to tell her mom and pack her things immediately.

Kagome pulled a large bag full of clothes. "O.K. I'm ready."

"Geez, woman! What's in there?" InuYasha stared wide-eyed at the bag.

"A week of clothes. We're gonna be gone for a while, so I might as well get as much as I need."

"Kagome, here, $50(A/N: I don't know how to convert dollars into yen. Yet...) for the first week. Come back for more next week." Kagome's mother tried to smile, and then she turned to the hanyou. "I'm putting my trust in you."

He sniffed the air. 'They're close. Excellent.' He felt them coming and jumped into a near by tree. It was getting dark. 'Good. I can kill both the girl and that half-breed InuYasha.'

Kagome took a deep breath. Just the thought of someone wanting to kill here gave her goosebumps. "InuYasha?"

"Yeah?" InuYasha could hear her heart pounding.

"You've been on the streets before haven't you?"

"Yeah, it's not that bad when you have money. Don't worry about it."

'Wait, I just met this guy a couple days ago. He says he's gonna protect me, but what if he didn't turn this Naraku person down? Can I trust him enough?'

"Hey. InuYasha." They froze. InuYasha growled, 'The only people that know me are youkai from school, and Kagome.' He turned around. There behind them stood…
