Disclaimer
I do not own Inu Yasha or anything related to it. This fanfic was inspired by the series, and song lyrics (mostly evanescence).
A/N I do realize after I wrote the summary it reminds me of Raise Your Voice, this fanfic however, is NOT related to it. I get all my ideas for this fanfic from song lyrics.

Chapter 1
Damn, it’s cold. Then again I’m always cold. That’s expected when you are living on the streets. I have been on the streets for years and I can never remember being warm. I sink into my oversized black clothing for warmth and try to get out of sight. I don’t like people. I don’t want them to know me and I don’t want to know them. Not because I’m afraid of getting hurt though, I never feel anything except cold or hungry. I am just a shadow after all. That’s what everyone calls me. Shadow. I like it, no one notices a shadow… or at least most people don’t.
“KIKYO! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE YOU BITCH!”
What was that?
“Hey I said get back here and let me loose, are you deaf now as well as insane? COME HERE!”
It’s that man with grey hair, is he talking to me? I continue on my, past him, keeping my head down as I do so.
“That’s better, now get these fucking thin- hey, your not Kikyo” said the rather loud, rude boy, for I can see now that despite his grey hair he was quite young.
“No, I’m Kagome.” I continue looking down as I walk by, not meeting his eyes, if I make eye contact he’ll talk to me more.
“HEY get back here, can you help me?” he nods his head over to the side and holds up his right hand “my girlfriend put these cuffs on and I can’t get the damn things off.”. I can see now that they are handcuffed to a parking meter. Baka, if he is stupid enough to get chained to a parking meter he probably deserves it.
I continue walking away, then he yelled out “PLEASE! I reeaaallly gotta go.” When I turn around to ask him where he has to go I see him looking desperate, doing a little dance. A dance that people only do when… oh shit; now I’m really not helping him. “I’ll give you 5 dollars if you do!”
Crap. I need money, I’m starving. I take a big sigh as I mutter out “fine, I’ll help you”
“Great!” he sighs with relief “go to that pay phone over there and call the number I give you”
“With what money?”
“here” he sighed “25 cents now to make the call, you will get the rest after the cuffs are off.”
Ah, yeah right, like he will pay me after he is already freed. “Not good enough” I reply shortly.
“Yeah well you want the money so it will have to be good enough” he sneered.
Jerk. “Baka, I can get money elsewhere, but something tells me you can’t get help elsewhere” I look around and confirm that no one else is around “besides, I get the feeling you cant wait for much longer.”
He blushed bright red, turned around and said “Keh, fine here” he dug in his pockets and counted out the money. As he did so I looked around and noticed that the parking meter he was attached to was open. So that’s how he got all that loose change I see him counting out.
“THIEF!” No wonder his girlfriend did this to him!
“WHERE!” he exclaimed, looking around frantically.
“YOU!”
“WHAT!” he screamed “I am not!”
“oh really, then mind explaining the situation?”
“WHAT SITUATION!”
I look pointedly at the parking meter, he turns around and says “Oh, that, I didn’t do that, it was like this before”
“Sure, then how did u get all that small change?”
“I, um kind of collected it from people who owe me money.”
“So you’re a drug dealer? That is sooo much better!”
“NO I FOUGHT SOME PUNKS IN A FIGHT AND WON THE MONEY!”
“that’s still not much better.”
“Well who asked you?” he shoves the money at me. “NOW GO!” How rude! Wait, I have to call someone? Great more people.
sigh, “fine I’ll help you, hang on” I bend down and take out my handy hairpin, my wavy, black hair coming loose as I do. I’ll just unlock the damn thing, I’ve picked tougher locks.
“HEY! What are you …”
click “doing? Just what I was paid for, I didn’t want to talk to any friend of yours.”
End of First Chapter
A/N Ahh, the first chapter of my first ever fanfic! Not as good as I would of liked but at least I’m trying, right?
Chapter 2
I wonder sometimes, if I am a shadow, then there must be something more to Kagome that casts this shadow. I like that thought. What I want to know is where the part of me that casts this shadow is. Will I ever find Kagome by observing the world from my dark world of shadows? Doubtfully, but can I bring myself to stand in the light? If I do stand in the light will I disappear? like shadows do without their counter parts to keep them from being assimilated? It’s too risk. I’ll just stick to the cold, dark, shadow world I know, after all, I’m used to the cold…
