Chapter 1: Friends?
 
 
Kagome shut the brass door with a bang. Twisting the lock this way and that she finally stopped when she heard a satisfying click.
 
Sighing softly she turned and started down a long white passageway.
 
She had to do it again. God how she hated to do it.
 
Half way down the hallway, she stopped. It was time for the scratching to begin. When she first started this job, it was the scratching that bothered her the most. It was like a reminder that it was still alive. That she was killing it.
 
She didn't want to kill it. But it gave her no choice.
 
It was apart of staying alive in this world. Either you killed it…or they killed you.
 
Kagome stood for a second longer, realizing the scratching had already began. She turned back around and keeps walking. She had to pretend like it was there. There was no noise.
It was dead. Pretend like it was dead, she usually told herself.
 
But today.
 
Today was going to be different.
 
Kagome stopped again and tilted her head to the right.
 
She had to be smart about this. If she let it out, then the world might end.
 
But how could she kill it?
 
No, she had to let it go. She's done this before. What's so different now?
 
It was just that…an it.
 
`Leave it that way Kagome.' She told herself.
 
But she still found herself heading back towards the brass door.
 
Taking a deep breath she twisted the lock in different directions once again.
 
Hearing the click, she pulled the door open.
 
And the scratching stopped.
 
“You came back.” It stated, more then it asked.
 
Kagome let the breath out and smiled at it awkwardly.
“I had to. I couldn't let you die.”
 
It tilted its head to the side, “Why not? You've must have done this hundreds of thousands of times.”
 
Kagome nervously laughed. “87 my dear boy. Only 87.”
 
The `boy' sniffed and growled a little “I'm not a boy! And what the fuck does it matter if its only been”87 tiiiimes”.” He said, making fun of her in the process.
 
Kagome frowned and back up. “Fine, Fine. I understand your angry. But do you want out or not?”
 
The `boy' shifted were he stood in the darkened room. “Keh, whatever.” He said, but walking out of the cold confining room.
 
Kagome held in her gasp. She knew he was gorgeous. But in the life of the hall, well. The light brought out everything even more.
 
With silver hair the `boy' gave off a unknown look. He shifted nervously for a minute then glared at her. “And I thought use monsters were supposed to be rude! Are you gonna tell me your name already, or what?”
 
Kagome laughed awkwardly “uh, yeah! Um, I'm Kagome! It's nice to meet you…uh…”
 
The `boy' blanched “Yeah, try to kill me and you don't even know my name.” He grumbled under his breath.
 
Kagome gave him a weird look. “What did you say?”
 
Inuyasha backed up and waved his hands in the air. “Uh, Nothing, Nothing! Um, yeah, I'm Inuyasha. I…. guess its nice to meet you too.”
 
Kagome grabbed his hand out of nowhere and shook it roughly, all the while smiling at Inuyasha shocked face.
 
`DID SHE ACTUALLY TOUCH ME?' He screamed inwardly.
 
Kagome dropped his hand quickly.
 
“QUICK! They're coming. Run!” Kagome pushed Inuyasha backwards, stumbling, he vastly regained his composure. Running in the direction Kagome ran off to he was suddenly pulled into a dark room, ready to turn around and start the bloodshed; he changed his mind quickly when he was face-met fist.
 
“Don't you even think about it dog-boy. It's just me. Now be quite or they'll find us!”
Inuyasha rubbed his head. “Who will find us?” He asked threw clenched teeth.
 
He was beginning to really dislike this girl.
 
Kagome sighed and pulled him down into a squatting position.
 
Whispering in his ear “The priests.”
 
Inuyasha jumped up, “WHAT?”
 
“Damn it Inuyasha! Be quite! AND SIT DOWN!” She whispered loudly, pulling Inuyasha back down.
 
“No! I refuse to stay here if I already know there at least 10 feet away from me. Do you know what they will do to me if they find me still alive?” He whispered in return.
 
Kagome looked angry and she started to talk fast while standing him up. “Do you know what they will do to me if they find out I didn't kill you?”
 
Inuyasha backed up abit, out of Kagomes strong hold. He hadn't thought about that.
 
Why did she save him if she knew it would cost her…her life?
 
Or worse?
 
Before Inuyasha could retort he was being pulled out an open window.
 
“Good thing we were on the first floor.”
 
He heard Kagome mutter to herself.
 
Running threw the unknown courtyard, they made it to the middle of the field when he was suddenly grabbed from behind.
 
Turning around quickly his claw met air. Looking around confused, he felt a tap on his knee, looking down he saw a young man with black hair…smiling like it was no tomorrow.
 
“Yeah. Uh, can we put the claw away before someone loses an eye?”
 
Inuyasha growled raising his fist. “Why you!”
 
“Inuyasha no!” Kagome screamed, pulling him back. “He's a friend.”
 
Turning around to look at the mystery man, she smiled oddly “ Hey Miroku, where's Sango?”
He stood up and smiled back. “Already there, she's just waiting for us.”
 
He looked behind her at the man with the silver hair. “Who's he?” He asked, frowning.
 
Kagome turned to look at Miroku, a smile playing on her face. “A friend.”
