Disclaimer: I do not own NightWalker: Midnight Detective or Inuyasha. They, as well as the characters, belong to their rightful creators and their distributors. The only things I own are the slight changes that I make within the story.

AN: Despite that I was going through a really bad case of Writer's Block, I decided to get my best in updating this. I'm sorry if it's short of seems rushed, but I really did my best. And I'm sorry if the title is exactly like Episode 3 of the anime.

I also hope that you guys forgive me for not updating sooner and hope this makes up for it.

3rd Night:
Man on the Run Part 1

The sound of waves crashing on a shore with gulls crying out as the flapped their wings, flying toward a beautiful sunset. The warm colors just washed over everything on the ocean view of the movie Kagome and Shido were watching.

Yes, Shido had asked Kagome to a movie since the one she wanted to watch was still showing. The miko thought it was strange that Shido asked her to a movie but he said that she deserved it. After school had lit out early for Saturday, Shido had picked her up before they made their way to the movies.

That weekend, Souta was spending some time at a

The miko was pretty surprised that the vampiric detective decided to sit through a romance comedy with her, considering she didn't take him as the type to be interested in those types of movies.

But once the movie was half over, coming to the sunset scene they were currently watching, Kagome noticed that Shido was a bit of a daze, like he was going over his thoughts or memories.

And Kagome was right…

Shido was asking himself when was the last time he had seen a sunset with his own two eyes before his memories of his vampiric birth surface.

As soon as the movie was over, Kagome saw that Shido was sweating slightly while reliving that certain memory. Worried about him, she rested a hand on his shoulder while trying to get his attention. Once she did, she told him, "Are you alright, Shido-san? The movie's already over."

Shido looked around, seeing everyone leaving their seats and the credits of the movie rolling on the big screen. Taking a deep breath, he apologized to Kagome for not paying attention to the movie. He did offer to watch the movie with her and yet halfway through, his memories just had to resurface.

The miko beside him just smiled before replying, "Its okay, Shido-san. If I knew that there was going to be a scene with a sunset in it, I would've picked a different movie."

After leaving the theater, Kagome and Shido decided to walk around the shopping center on the way to the train station. But even as they were walking around, Kagome could see that Shido was still thinking of the past… his past.

Sighing, she linked her arm with his, gaining his attention as she said, "There's really not much of a point in brooding over something that happened so long ago. What had happened just happened."

"Kagome-chan…"

The miko then looked him in the eyes, "To be honest, Shido-san… if Cain had never turned you into a vampire, we never would've had the chance to meet each other. And you never would've been able to meet Yayoi-san or Guni…" she then gave him a soft smile, "I'm sorry if this may sound cold of me or something but… there's really no point in wondering what could, would, or should have been if you never ran into Cain and he never changed you into a vampire."

She was right, Shido knew. How Kagome saw it, if you keep living in the past, then it's certain that you won't have much of a future. Returning her soft smile, Shido spoke, "I know… I'm sorry that I'm not much of a proper date for you tonight."

Kagome gave a soft chuckled, "Don't worry about. You can make it up to me by accompanying me to the shop I needed to go to tonight."

"You had to go to a shop tonight? What for?"

"Before you had picked me up, Yayoi-san gave me a call asking if I could pick up a package for her at one of her favorite shops here since she'd be working a little late and won't be able to pick it up herself. So… since I didn't have any work tonight, I agreed to pick it up for her and take it home with me until she comes over to pick it up." Shido couldn't help but grin at Kagome's summed up story of going to pick something up for Yayoi.

The NOS woman usually asked the high school girl to do these kinds of things when she felt that she wouldn't be able to make it. Kagome never saw any problem in it so was usually more than willing to pick up whatever she ordered at any story as long it wasn't something that was bought at an Adult store.

After picking up Yayoi's package from a clothing store, they went on their way to looking around more until Kagome found a necklace vendor that sold lots of handmade jewelry for a thousand yen to three thousand yen.

(1,000 Japanese Yen = 11.22 USD and 3,000 Japanese Yen = 33.67 USD)

Looking through them, Kagome found a really well crafted gothic cross pendant and gave her compliments on how well it was made. She felt Shido look over her shoulder, agreeing on how well made the pendant looked.

"How much for the pendant?" Kagome asked, hoping she had enough money on her to buy it. Despite that she wasn't much for necklaces after always wearing the Shikon no Tama but every now and then she wore one out of habit.

"Real cheap- just two thousand yen." The vendor answered before Shido spoke as he took out his wallet, "two thousand?"

Surprised, Kagome turned to her boss/date reassuring, "Shido-san, you don't have to buy it for me. You already paid for the tickets at the movies."

"It's alright, Kagome-chan. I want to pay for it." Shido smiled, giving the man the money as he was connecting the pendant to a leather choker. After he had handed the necklace, Shido helped Kagome put her new necklace on.

Once she had her 'thank yous' to the vendor, she and Shido went on their way as Kagome looked to him, "I still say you didn't have to buy me the necklace."

"And I still say I wanted to buy it for you." came Shido's reply as he smiled at her. He knew that the cross wasn't authentic but thought it looked nice on Kagome. Although, she would look much better if she wore some feminine clothes, say like a nice corset and matching skirt or pants.

Kagome turned her nose up in a stubborn manner before saying, "Fine. In that case, you can't really go against my choice in giving you something in return next time."

"Oh? And what do have planned?"

Kagome looked thoughtful before smiling at the vampire, "Something I'm sure you can't really resist and to me, it would be priceless and I think it would be something you might enjoy."

Shido smiled in return, "and what would that be? A human lifetime supply of your special herbal tea?"

The miko shook her head before stepping in front of him with her arms around his waist before she answered, "How does… a full medical pack of my blood sound?" The suggestion of her giving him some of her blood as a gift surprised Shido… he never expected Kagome to say that she'd be willing to give him some of her blood.

Just before he was about to answer, a man dressed in a hospital gown ran past them, pushing Kagome a bit hard and making her and Shido stumble a bit. As the miko was about to tell him off, two more men in suits pushed her again into Shido's arms before said two men in suits pulled out guns, aiming at the man who was in the hospital gown.

As Shido took a hold of one of the guys with the guns, Kagome looked to the man in the hospital gown as he was blocked by two more men in suits and guns and felt…

'A Night Breed?!' the miko thought in shock as she saw the hospital escapee spit some sort of acid in one of the men's eyes. While the injured male was on the ground in pain, the Night Breed jumped to the ceiling before the man Shido grabbed got free and went after the demon.

A gunshot went off, grazing the Night Breed's arm before it attacked the one who shot him before spitting acid at another in the face.

Once the night breed was on the run, Kagome and Shido took off after it with the both of them preparing for an attack from it. When it leaped down an escalator, Shido went through the trouble of going through the people while Kagome just slid down the railings. Soon, Shido got the picture and did the same thing, following Kagome as they continued chasing the Night Breed.

But as Shido was right behind Kagome, time seemed to have slowed down as he caught sight of Cain passing him while his sire went on the escalator that led up.

"The Golden Dawn is imminent." He heard the older vampire speak, catching his attention as the sound of a heartbeat sounded in his ears, "A new era will arrive. You must bear witness, Shido."

Shido called out for him, wanting to know what he meant by what he said but as soon as he made it to the lower levels, time continued to at its normal pace.

"Shido! Come on, we're gonna lose him!" He heard Kagome call out to him.

But even though, they tried their best to track the Night Breed down, they ended up losing it.

Rushed, I know. And it's only 2 pages, too. But I wanted to get this updated, along with a few other fics that I just seemed to have left hanging.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed and leave some nice reviews. And any suggestions or ideas that you think may be good for the next chapter.

As for flamers with their flames, don't bitch at me for your choice in reading this or any other fics that I have. Because if you had enough time to write a flame to me, then you definitely had enough time to push the "back button" and find another story that would suit your tastes better.
