[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
I know you guys hate me right now. Now that I look back on it......*sigh* really sucky cliffhanger. But I bet it brought you guys back today now didn't it ^.~ . Hehehe, well I guess I should stop my babble now and leave you to bask in the written word.....or.....erm.....typed word would be a better way to put it I guess.
sorry it's me again, I just wanted to apologies for this being over a week late, and give my excuse.....They shut off our internet, and then our power. Yes, this has been an eventful week, but hey, at least it's back now right? Updates will be on schedule once this bill fiasco is fixed.



Summary- Kagome is a librarian that gets pulled into the world of darkness. Strange things begin to happen after she meets a vampire. Will her world have a storybook ending? Or will it end in tragedy?


me no own.....you no sue!



stood after the shock wore off and sped past the humans whom had stopped in their daily routines to partake in his confusion; either to snicker at his predicament, or offer their condolences. No one treated the Alpha-Male of the New York Lichen Coven in such a manner! He would get answers from her, if he had to wait to the next full moon to do it!





ran through the crowds thanking the gods that it was a Sunday. She was on a street that housed many churches, and they thankfully decided to let out at the same time. The mass of people mingling after the services was a welcome sight while trying to loose her pursuer. Damn, what was it with guys with white hair chasing after her! All she wanted was to move to a place where she could disappear, not become a desired target!


chanced to spare a peek behind her and nearly cried out. He was still there! Ways to finally loose him raced through her mind. 'Why, oh why, did I have to hit him?!?' Any person in her situation would have ran to one of the sanctuaries they passed, but given her religious standing thought better of it. With her luck, she would burn the moment she stepped into one of the structures.


density of pedestrians slackened some much to her horror. If she was having so much trouble getting through them, then so was he. But without masses of people to block him, how would she get away. Kagome then saw her escape. The library!!! She had forgotten how close it was to the market. Kagome added a quick extra burst of speed to her tiring limbs and made a mad dash for the heavy wooden doors. She slammed into them hard in an effort to stop given her velocity. She shoved her hands into her pockets in a frantic search for her set of keys, but remembered that she had left them in her work vest from the night before. She now stood cursing the same gods she was praising moments before. Thinking that maybe there was still time to retrace her steps down the stone staircase back onto the street, she turned. 'No go there.' Her pursuer, with arms crossed over his chest, was positioned directly below her.


caught you! HAH!" To Kagome, he looked almost like a child who had been playing hide and seek, and won. Now that he had though, what would he do? He wouldn't hurt her would he? Not in broad daylight, with so many potential witnesses around! Whatever the hell he wanted, she had to keep it from him. She was too young to die! There had to be something...then she remembered. Boy, was HE in for a surprise.


remembered that she never left anywhere without her special special weapons, and did a little jig in her head. She smiled and glared at him at the same time. To any regular being, they would have known that then was the time to run. She chuckled darkly as she slid her hands to her lower back.


what you think!"





huffed as he laid chase to the elusive female. I wasn't like he was going to hurt her! He just wanted to chat with her about her new friend; find out what they were to each other. He was only able to catch passing phrases from their conversation the night before, and what he DID hear bothered him to no end. Something about being distracted and an innocent. 'Damn soundproof windows.' Not even his enhanced hearing was able to decipher much else.


noticed that she had stopped in front of a library and was searching her pockets for something. 'Stupid female, doesn't she know that libraries are closed Sundays?' Inuyasha knew he had her trapped and waited for her to notice his presence. When she did, the look of a trapped animal crossed her eyes, only it was more intense than it was in the market. Now her fear was real, as it permeated the polluted air surrounding them. He chuckled in his head, she had right to fear him.


caught you! HAH!"


became confused when her fear morphed into what only could be described as triumph! Just as swiftly as it appeared the wench gave him a look that clearly said' "run." Heh, like he'd fall for that. She was the trapped animal, not him. Though the look in her eyes did make him think twice about his previous assessment. What was the wench planning?


what you think!"


pulled two concealable daggers from somewhere on her back and charged. The blades glistened in the bright noonday sun. Inuyasha was temporarily blinded when the glare caught his eyes. White hot pain filled his whole being. His breath caught in his throat as liquid fire ravaged his body. 'Am I going to die?' raced through his head like a mantra. When his fog filled brain cleared, and he could see again, he assessed the damage. There were numerous gapping slashes across his chest, blood everywhere, but most importantly; she was gone. 'Damn that wench is fast! Now where the fuck she go!' He looked around him, but she was nowhere to be found. He looked down, and noticed that his cuts weren't healing as fast as they should have been. "What the hell?!?"


that she had won that round, he raced to his home for emergency treatment. The woman was a puzzle, and he did not like puzzles. She had caught him off guard too many times that day to be comfortable, plus, her small daggers should not have wounded him as badly as he was. There was some other force of work here, and he intended to find out what that was.





walked the rest of the distance to her apartment building. She basked in her small victory. She was elated that her training had not been for nothing. She did not panic, and loose control like last time. She shivered involuntarily as that suppressed memory resurfaced. The look of surprise, that turned to horror as lifeless eyes stared back at her unblinking; face set in an eternal silent scream. No one understood that it was an accident. Even if it was in self-defense, they looked at her with apprehension, and fear. Not even her own mother looked at her the same way again.


shook the memory back into the recesses of her mind from whence it came. "That's why I'm in New York. Here I'm Kagome the goody-goody smart night librarian, not Kagome the evil witch that killed her boyfriend." She sighed in long suffering. Why did her life have to be so complicated? What gods or deities did she anger for her to have to live the life she was?


reached her apartment, but was stopped before she could enter. "Are you alright Kagome?" It was her neighbor Houjo. Sure he was a sweet guy, but not her type. He had asked her out on a number of dates, though she'd rejected him each time. Couldn't the guy get a clue? If she were to be honest with herself, she would have admitted that he gave her the creeps. No one that had lived in this city all their lives could be this naive! It was completely impossible.


Houjo, I am fine. You don't need to worry yourself over little ol' me." Kagome mentally slapped herself. Now she'd never get rid of him. He was almost as bad as some of the platinum haired guys she'd run into these past few days, they never left you alone, and continued pursuits after given clear hints for privacy. Were all men like this, or just to her?


you sure Kagome? If you need anything, you would ask right? You know I'd help you." She resisted the urge to punch him. There had been so much drama in her life during the past few weeks, that she had almost forgotten how persistent he was.


am sure Houjo. Just had a busy day, that's all. Thank you for asking though." Kagome crossed the threshold into her living space and shut the door in Houjo's face. 'Some people, I swear!' she ranted in her head, 'maybe New York wasn't the best place to disappear.' She collapsed onto her couch, while thinking of her day. 'Get up, do chores, go shopping, get robbed, slap a dude, get chased, slice him up, come home, chase off Houjo....and it's not even four yet!' Yup, definitely a long day so far. 'I guess shopping will have to wait until later.'





the hell happened to you!" Kouga called to his pack mate. He had been looking over some new recruits when his leader stumbled in looking like he was the living dead. In the few centuries that they had known each other, he had never seen Inuyasha in such shape; well, other than when he faced the rag-queen(Sesshomaru), but it was still daylight! There was no way in hell, this could have been done by him.


bitch of Sesshomaru's I was following." Kouga frowned. There were three things wrong with the situation...one- Inuyasha was following a woman. Other than Kikyo, there was never a woman in his life. Though it was kind of understandable as to why he was following THIS particular woman. It has long been known about the feud between the vampire and their leader. Two- she had done a number on him. True he was still sore from the previous night, but a human woman should have still been no match for him, even if it WAS Sesshomaru's. Finally, and most importantly, his wounds weren't healing at their usual rate. The gashes across his chest closing three times slower than they should have been. Who the hell was this chick!


you able to find anything out?"


fast." Once said, Inuyasha collapsed on the stone ground of their home, blood still gushing from his wounds. Kouga shook his head. Clean-up was going to be a bitch.


Ginta, take Inuyasha to his room and bandage him up. Shippo, could you do something about the floor? Thanx." Hakkaku and Ginta were brothers that were turned at the same time. It was a tragedy story, like most of them. Shippo, on the other hand, was born into the race. He was one of the few 'pure bloods,' though, females of their race were a myth. In truth, a 'pure blood' was the product of a human female and a lichen, though the child rarely survived birth, and the mother never did. That was why it was so rare. There were too many chances to be taken, and most lichens with women, didn't want to risk loosing them on the chance that the child would survive.


the three were given their orders, they clicked their heels together, and gave a mock salute (as was custom), before running off to complete their tasks.


they may be dumb asses, but at least their loyal.' Kouga noticed that Inuyasha didn't bring home any food like he had originally set out to do. 'Well I guess I'm up.' Kouga reached into the money bin, and fished out a few hundred dollars. 'Time to visit the butcher's.'





left the market, this time with out intrusion. The crowds were no less intense, but at least she wasn't robbed again! That and her 'friend' from earlier wasn't there so that was a plus at least. Never the less, she came prepared. Her concealed daggers strapped to her lower back (like always), her wrist blades were concealed under a light jacket, and her hairpin blades held her long black tresses in a simple twist. She was NOT going to risk being caught off guard again.


was also the premonition that she would have a late night visitor. More than likely he will have long platinum hair, a molten penetrating gaze, and a dry wit to match his dry personality. Not that she minded, though she could have done without the circumstances of their meeting. He had been somewhat a proper gentleman despite his earlier actions. In her younger days, she wouldn't have given him a second glance, but the months of lacking social interactions were taking their toll on her judgment. True, she went to market, and had small talk with co-workers at the library, but nothing substantial. Not like this anyways.


gave an unladylike snort. 'Yeah, now I'm actually looking forward to talking to the ass. What the hell is the world coming to!' In truth, she found she was somewhat attracted to Sesshomaru. What woman in her right mind wouldn't be! He was as mysterious as he was good looking. 'When he comes by again,' she mussed to herself, 'I have to ask him what he is....why am I still thinking of him? I promised myself I would stop, so I will!' All thoughts concerning Sesshomaru left her head on command, though one stray thought remained...'I wonder if the guy that was chasing me and Sesshomaru are related?'


they looked strikingly similar, though, Sesshomaru's hair was longer and he was taller. The guy she ran into today, though, had more emotion in his eyes. She could practically feel the anger and confusion rolling off his aura in waves. Looking back on the incident, she was kinda embarrassed. 'He probably only wanted an apology, and I ran like I had something to be guilty of! Gods, if I ever see him again, I have to remember to apologize, though he probably thinks I'm some sort of wacko. Too bad to, he was pretty cute...ACK!! What the hell am I thinking! I've been single too long, if I'm beginning to find guys that probably wish me bodily harm attractive. To I have a death wish or something!'


decided to stop thinking for the time being so she could prepare herself mentally and physically for her appointment with another certain hottie. Their meetings took their toll on her both mentally and physically. Strange happenings had become custom during their meetings. Whatever the hell he was, ordinary was not one of them, and she was prepared to take whatever occured, this night, in stride without making too much of a fool of herself.





but it's getting longer, is it not o.0. Sorry about being so late with the update, things beyond my control came into motion, and now I'm stuck for the time being. I do promise, though, that once this life drama is behind me, my focus will return wholly to this fic, and updates will be regular and on time, like previously arranged. Thank you for your patience, and cooperation. ^.^


ok, I keep writing, if you keep reviewing; deal? I agree, cherries are icky. I used to like them, but now there are so many hentai innuendos associated with them, and when I try to eat one, every one of those innuendoes run through my head. So Strawberries are the fruit of choice for me ^.^! Thank you for reviewing, and I look forward to hearing from you again.
- Sorry about adding Kikyo, but I needed a fall chick. You'll see what I mean in later chapters. Besides, she won't even make an entrance until the fic's almost over, and even then, it's so small that you won't even realize she's shown up! I would kill her off, but technically, she's already dead. She IS a vampire in this fic. Sorry, but her attitude worked. She's dark, broody, and can't let go of a past life that is no longer open to her. Perfect vamp material. Will you forgive me? If it's any consolation, she only has one or two lines, and everything about her is from other people's point of view, and none of it's good. Especially when it comes to Sessho talking about her....oops, said to much! XD Thank you for reviewing, and I look forward to hearing from you again.
- Thank you. I hope to continue hearing from you. Thanks for reviewing.
