~Beware of Angry Uncles~

A young girl with raven black hair was walking towards her house. Summer vacation had just ended and she was back in school. She did not really hate school; in fact, she was top in her class. She just missed the freedom. When there was no set time to wake up, and no homework cutting into your social life. (a/n how can anyone like school? -_-)

Kagome glanced at her watch, 2:35. "Oh my god! I am going to be late! I promised Sango I would be over her house at 3." With that said, she started running down the street. I'll just take the short cut.

She ran down an abandoned alleyway. She threw a quick glance at her watch, 2:43. I should have just enough time to get changed.*grimace* I hope she won't be as mad as last time. She just ran passed a garbage can when she heard something.

Instantly alert. "Who-who's there?" Her head darted from side to side trying to locate where the sound came from. However hard she tried she could see nothing. She started walking again looking out for any signs of life. She stopped dead when she spotted a couple boxes on her right that started moving. So scared that it didn't even register that she should run.

A rat ran out from under them causing Kagome to shriek. "H...hello? Is anyone there?" A weak voice said from the direction the rat came.

Kagome crept towards the boxes. She cautiously lifted the box. To her surprise there was a small boy under them. "What are you doing hiding under here?"

"Are they gone?" The boy asked with eyes that were full of fear.

"Who? You are the only person I have seen so far." The boy started to rise and cried out in pain. That's when Kagome realized he was covered in cuts and bruises. She couldn't believe she didn't notice them before. "What happened to you?"

"A bunch of guys from school caught me off guard. It's nothing." He pushed himself off the ground and looked at her with emotionless eyes. "Thank you. . ."

"Kagome." She answered. Her gaze filled with concern, but she knew he wouldn't except help easily. He had too much pride.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kagome. My name is Shippo." He tried to bow and whimpered in pain.

Kagome automatically reached out to help him and he pushed her hands away. Anger flashed across her face. "I'm not going to hurt you-" She shouted. She had to struggle with herself for calm; Taking deep breaths. How could people be so mean? He is just a little boy. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled."

"It's OK. I should be getting home. My uncle-"

"Oh no you don't." She said before he could get away. "You are hurt to badly. Come on we can go to my house. It's just down that road." She pointed to a road that lead south. "It's a lot closer and we can call your uncle while I look at your cuts."

"But-" He looked down toward the road she pointed at earlier. She said her house is close. I don't think I will be able to make it home anyway. Uncle told me not to trust anyone but . . . if Inu doesn't hear from me soon he is going to go on a rampage. Shippo flinched at the thought of Inuyasha when he was angry.

Kagome thought he flinched from the pain so she said in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen." He looked skeptical so she added. "I promise."

Shippo just nodded and they started walking down the alley. Within five minutes they arrived and Kagome lead him into the kitchen. "Wait right here. I'm going to go look for something to clean out those cuts." With that, she headed off towards the bathroom.

Shippo sat in the kitchen with his eyes closed. He heard the faint sound of someone rummaging through a cupboard but ignored it. His eyes started to close. Why is she being so nice to me? Doesn't she know I am a youkai?

Kagome entered the room a couple minutes later after finding the antiseptic and some bandages. She looked at the boy sleeping in the chair and sighed. He must be exhausted. I am not even sure how he made it back to my house. Well at least he won't have to feel the sting from the antiseptic.

She cleaned his cuts and bandaged him up. Unaware of an angry hanyou headed to her house.

Inuyasha looked at the clock. "Where is that stupid little kitsune? I told him to come home right after school. He gets five more minutes then I'm going to go find his scrawny little ass and drag him back here."

Seven minutes passed before he got worried. He is always home early. Something is wrong. . .

He jumped out the window and landed on the roof of the house next door. He sniffed the air and his eyes shout open. "Blood. . ." A low growl started as he followed the scent. He jumped off the roof of a building and landed gracefully in the alleyway. He walked over to the boxes and saw a pool of blood. His eyes turned blood red as he saw a trail of blood leading out of the alley.

"You will regret ever touching him. . ." He ran at top speed straight to Kagome's house. Ran up the steps and kicked the door with so much force it shattered into thousands of tiny pieces. His eyes landed on Kagome as she was covering Shippo with a blanket that was now sleeping on the couch.
