Chapter 1: Black-haired Stranger

Inuyasha groaned, rubbing the flesh between his eyes. He had been in his office for the entire day, and now he had to stay over time to work on an endless case. He looked at the clock that ticked away on his desk. It read 10:38 p.m. He'd been in his office since 7 a.m. He hated having to stay after everyone else, even his brother, Sesshoumaru, who owned the law firm got off before 8 p.m. But he prided himself in his work, and he wanted to get some things done.

Working for one of the most important law firms in Japan was hard, being in his office all day was not what he considered a 'pro' to the job. But he was a high ranking layer, and his pay checks were always in the ten thousands. Everyone thought he was blessed that he could do whatever he pleased because of the money he made. He never felt that way; Inuyasha always thought he was trapped in his work.

He let the papers in his hand fall to his big, wooden desk, no longer caring. He slowly rose from his seat, piling all the papers and stuffing them into a spare manila folder. He turned around, looking out of the large, glass window that was practically one wall of his office. Inuyasha could see of into the distance, all the lights dotting the houses and apartments. 'Too bad I had to stay here so late.' He quickly turned and picked up his brief case and coat before heading to the elevator off the sixtieth floor.

Once out of the building he bundled up, it was a chilly night in September, the winds were blowing strong. His black hair was blowing all over, having it loose on his back instead of putting it in his regular tie at the base of his neck. He had to constantly tuck it back behind his ears before he decided to keep it under his coat so he wouldn't have any further problems.

His car had to be left off in a repair shop because of some inconsiderate woman causing traffic accident a week ago, so Inuyasha was left to walking. 'Damn them.' As he passed an alley he swore he could hear some muffled cries coming from it. 'What the hell?' he thought, then he heard someone cry "Help.", no doubt a woman.

Feeling like he had to stop whatever was going to happen from happening, he made his way deeper into the alley, he tensely looked around a corner to a disgusting site. Some man, obviously drunk had a thin, black haired girl pinned under him. He was trying to take off her skirt, but she was fighting him.

"Get off her." He said calmly, placing his briefcase against the wall. The man looked up to him with unfocused brown eyes; the girl continued her attempt to get him off of her.

"What do you plan on doin' buddy." He slurred. He brought his hands down to roughly grab at her chest. She nearly screamed at the contact, trying to kick him off.

"Warned you asshole." He said before picking the man up by the collar of his shirt and throwing him off into some dumpsters that were close by. There was a large crash as he hit the metal. Then Inuyasha looked down to the girl, her shirt had been torn off and he skirt was in almost the same shape. She looked up at him with scared eyes.

"Here." He said, offering her his hand. "Let me help you." The girl took his hand meekly. When she was on her feet she crossed her hands over her almost bare chest. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. That's when she started to cry.

Inuyasha walked forward, gently holding the girl in his arms, knowing that was one way to sooth a woman. He had learned from all the hearts he had broken from his youth. He knew that the girl couldn't be over 19 years old. He didn't know how she could ended up almost in an unfortunate situation like the one he had rescued her from.

"Thank you." She whispered into his shoulder. He felt some unknown emotions rise up in him. He felt that he wanted to help this girl; somehow he found something special in her. He didn't feel that way since he had found a girl named Kikyou when he was younger, but that relationship didn't work out.

"Let me take you home." He told her firmly. Who knew what else might happen to her in one night. Inuyasha felt her tense in his arms before letting her go. She looked up to him with tear stained eyes.

"I.I was going home." she said, not wanting to reveal more to the stranger.

"Go on." He encouraged.

"When I got there I saw a note.my family moved out without me. I was at collage and they left without me! They didn't say anything." New tears brimmed her eyes as she swiped the ones that fell away.

Inuyasha didn't know what to do. The girl obviously had some unsolved problems, but what could he do to help with them? "Then you'll come with me to my house."

Her eyes widened in fear. Some strange man was telling her to come to his house.but what alternative did she have? Sleep in the streets? She had no money for a hotel room, and all of friends were at school, no where near here. "No." she whispered carefully.

He sighed, and then remembered what she must have gone through. "I'm not planning to do anything, but you can't sleep on the streets." He said before turning around, ready to leave.

"Fine." She said quietly, wrapping the coat around her tighter, feeling the wind come up from the bottom of it. She shivered, and Inuyasha noticed. He took off the jacket to his suit and handed it to her. She slipped the coat off so she could put on the extra layer. When she finished he grabbed her hand and continued walking to his apartment, which was only a few blocks away.

"What's your name?" he asked once the two were inside his spacious apartment. It was located on the top floor of a building; it had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a good sized kitchen, dining room, and living room. She had chosen to sit on one of the stools in the kitchen after he said he would prepare some food for her.

She had looked around quiet a bit, and was surprised that someone so rich would want to lend her any help. "Kagome." She said quietly.

Inuyasha turned around with two bowls filled with soup in his hands. He placed one in front of her and she attacked it almost instantly. He grinned at her appetite, settling down across from her to eat his meal.

"I'm Inuyasha." He told her. The two sat in silence as they finished their soup. When he saw that she was done he picked up their bowls and put them in the sink, than sat back down.

"You must be tired." He said and she nodded. "Well, I'll give you a spare room tonight and a set of pajamas. Then tomorrow we'll see what we can do with your.err.situation." He got up, with Kagome following him.

"Thank you Inuyasha." She said as she trailed him. He stopped in front of a door and opened it, revealing the bedroom she was going to sleep in. Kagome walked in, amazed. It had a large canopy bed, and everything was a light shade of green, her favorite color. He led her to another door which led to the room's bathroom, which was also of a fair size.

"I'll be back." He said before exiting the room to go across the hall to his bedroom. It was about the same size as the one Kagome was staying in, but almost everything was in a pale red. He looked through his dresser for a plain shirt and shorts that the girl could use. 'What the hell am I doing? I picked her up off the street before being raped and now she's in my house.but I don't mind. It's been a while since I had a girl in the apartment with me.'

"Here you go Kagome." He said as he walked inside the room, seeing her sitting on the bed. She looked upset again, like she was ready to cry.

"You saved me. I don't even want to think what could have happened if.you didn't come. And now you're taking me in. I'm being a burden." She said.

Inuyasha sat down next to her, putting the 'pajamas' in her lap. "You're not a burden so far. Just doing my part to help others, I needed to do something nice before I end up dieing alone." He said.

Kagome looked at him. 'He doesn't have a girlfriend or wife.who wouldn't want him?' she asked herself. "What's going to happen tomorrow?"

He rose from beside her. "We'll worry about tomorrow when it comes. Now go take a bath and get some sleep. I won't go to work tomorrow so I'll be here if you need anything and we'll get some things settled out." He said before closing the door behind him and heading for his own bedroom, deep in thought.

'What will happen to her? She's so young and already has no family with her anymore. And I'm 25 and alone. We both have our problems.' He thought as he went into the bathroom for a quick shower. He didn't really mind missing work tomorrow, but he knew Sesshoumaru would be after him asking his set of questions. 'Oh well.'

She was about to step into the tub of warm water when she caught a glimpse of a bruise on her left thigh in the mirror. She stepped back, looking herself over, noticing bruises almost all over her body. That man had done some damage. But she thanked the Gods that this black haired stranger named Inuyasha came to her rescue.

Kagome gingerly stepped into the tub, wincing at the feeling of her sore body moving, but the warm water helped some. She knew her family moved without her for one reason. Her farher. The man had left her mother several times, but had come back when she was home during a break. Kagome knew that her mother was upset when her farter started threatening her.

"You were a mistake." He had yelled at her time and time again during the week. It hurt her knowing that her father had never wanted her. It would always hurt.

Now she didn't know where he had moved her family, but she willed herself to find them. Maybe she could somehow help them. But that didn't help her situation now. Her funds had run out and she had to leave the collage. It hurt knowing that she had to leave her dreams behind, but she had no choice.

After she read the note on the front door of the house, written by her mother, telling her that they had moved because her farher had his job moved. It didn't seem right, her family had always loved her, they wouldn't ever think of doing something so drastic. But they did.

She had run from her house, not caring where she ended up. Then she passed that alley where Inuyasha had found her. That man, who said his name was Shiro, grabbed her and dragged her where there would be little chance of finding them. He had planned to rape her. Kagome, wanting to keep her virginity fought back. She would never give in to the man, no matter how many times he hit her. Than he came. Inuyasha came and helped her.

He had offered her a room to sleep in. A place to stay the night. She was wary of him in the beginning, but they talked on the walk over. He was telling her about his problems with his work at his law firm. She had kept telling him 'Thank you' as if it was the only phrase she could say. The girl had no clue what was going to happen to her, or if she could ever find her mother and brother. Only one thing was clear in her mind as she climbed into the bed.

"My father, that bastard!" she whispered, before turning off the lamp to the right side of her bed.

I'm back folks with a brand new story! I was secretly plotting on doing a story with 'business man Inuyasha' for some time, and my inspiration finally came! I have no clue how this story will play out honestly, just a little into the next chapter, since I write as my ideas come. Hopefully you people will enjoy this story from me. Please review!
