A/N: Okay, so it’s Saturday night, I’ve just got back from the movies, and I’ve got my Monster in hand. I’m ready to start some hardcore writing!! Yay, me!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha…
The Fugitive ch. 3
Inuyasha sighed as he was forcefully lead back to his cell in handcuffs, briefly wondering how he always managed to get himself into trouble. He supposed it was his own fault. Well, to a certain extent, at least. Unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to control his temper when a bald, burly demon about twice his own size had dared to cope a feel. Inuyasha had quickly gotten himself caught up into a rather violent fist fight; one that he had been damn close to winning until about three of the guy’s buddies joined in. Thank Kami the guards had finally come to break it up…
Inuyasha had seen a lot in just the few days he’d spent in prison. He could feel the gaze of other inmates watching him like a hawk would eye its prey. Inuyasha would glance up every few minutes, just in time to see stares avert. He’d been weary and on edge since he’d gotten there.
Inuyasha was relieved to have made it out of the fight virtually unharmed with nothing more than a few minor cuts and bruises. They would disappear in a matter of minutes, though he was still slightly sore.
Inuyasha growled lowly when he was shoved roughly inside the rusted iron gates. He rubbed his sore wrists after he was released from his cuffs and he was locked inside for the rest of the week, as ‘punishment’ for assaulting another inmate. Though, to him, it wasn’t much of a punishment. He’d rather spend his time in his cell, away from everyone else. Inuyasha had thrown the first punch, so of course it was him that got punished. What else was he supposed to do?!
Inuyasha exhaled heavily, wincing only slightly at the sharp pain accompanying it as he laid down on the thin mattress of the bottom bunk.
“I heard what happened,” a man’s voice spoke.
Inuyasha’s ear twitched to it’s own accord and he cracked one eye open, turning to see his cellmate sitting solemnly in the corner with both his arms and legs crossed, appearing to be meditating. Up until now, the guy had mostly kept to himself and hadn’t said much. Inuyasha preferred it that way. He wasn’t here to make friends with his ‘fellow criminals’…
Though slightly curious, Inuyasha took this time to study him. He seemed fairly young; Maybe mid-twenties. His black hair was pulled into a small low ponytail and his face, to Inuyasha’s amazement, seemed calm and tranquil, his eyes remaining closed. Inuyasha couldn’t understand how anyone could find peace while being locked away in such a hell hole…
Inuyasha finally decided to settle for glaring at the guy before answering, “What do you mean?”
“About your wife,” he replied simply.
Inuyasha winced at the mentioning of Kikyou. “Yeah, what of it?” Inuyasha snapped, his eyes narrowing. He had to keep up a tough act. If anyone were to see him as weak, he would no doubt be a target. Though this guy hardly seemed like a threat, Inuyasha wasn’t willing to let his guard down. Not after what had just happened only a few moments ago.
“They say you murdered her,” he stated matter-of-factly. He paused a moment, opening his eyes to catch Inuyasha’s expression before he continued. “Is that true?”
Inuyasha turned away, his posture rigid and tense. “She was only my fiancé. We weren’t married yet,” He answered no louder that a whisper, though his voice cracked as he added, “No, I didn’t kill her.”
Miroku nodded. He had been studying his cellmate since his arrival. Miroku hadn’t failed to notice his restless tossing and turning in his sleep. If he really was guilty, he was either terribly sorry and regretted his actions, or it had simply been an accident.
Miroku was also well aware that this ‘Inuyasha’, as he was called, was no more than that of a half demon, which many humans and demons alike, were prejudice against. For that fact alone, Inuyasha could’ve been found guilty even if it were obvious he hadn‘t done it.
The fact that Inuyasha had been attacked already was of no surprise to him either. Most demons believed half demons to be weak because of their human blood, though proven by his own experience, Miroku had discovered that in truth, most half demons were no weaker than your average full-blooded demon. However, half demons also possess more human-like emotions, than a full blooded demon. Though Inuyasha was more than capable physically of murder, Miroku genuinely doubted he was guilty.
Miroku drew in a breath. He had to truly be sure of this before he made the proposal he was about to offer. He would not be held responsible for releasing a cold-blooded killer, which Inuyasha obviously was not. Miroku spoke evenly, keeping this tone serious. “This may come to a surprise, but I plan on escaping tomorrow night, though I can’t do it on my own and require assistance. If you are truly innocent, I would like to ask for your help in accomplishing this.”
Inuyasha was stunned. This guy was insane if he actually thought they could make it out of there without getting caught. The security was tight and made up of mostly upper-level demons that would pick up on their scent instantly. Surly he had a few loose screws in the non-existent brain of his.
Besides, who was to say this guy was completely innocent himself? Inuyasha regained his composer and snickered. “You’d have to be pretty dumb to think we could get out of here without being caught. And how do I know you’re not a true criminal? What exactly are you in here for anyway?”
Miroku sighed, though he half expected this. “I’m in the same boat as you are. I was convicted of a crime I am completely innocent of. As for getting out of here, I have a plan.”
Inuyasha eyed him suspiciously, though to Miroku‘s relief, he seemed to be considering it. “How exactly do you propose we do this?”
A small smile appeared at his lips and he began explaining.

“Kagome, why do you continuously turn down Hojo?” Yuka shouted incredulously.
“Yeah, Kagome,” Eri joined in. “Hojo is such a nice guy.”
“Face it Kagome, you need a boyfriend!”
“Kagome, you are officially eighteen now and you have never even dated a single guy!”
“He’s perfect for you, Kagome. Hojo is sooo cute!” Yuka gushed dreamily, “Not to mention he’s the most popular guy in school and has had the hots for you since first grade.”
“That’s so not true!” Kagome protested.
“Yes it is Kagome and you know it!” Eri started. “It’s so obvious he likes you.”
“No, not that.” Kagome paused. She’d already known Hojo had the hots for her. Honestly, who didn’t? “I‘ve had a boyfriend before!” Kagome defended.
Eri and Yuka traded amused glances. “Oh yea, like who?” they challenged.
Kagome was dumbfounded. “Uh, well there was… um, well…” Kagome sighed. She knew they were right. She really was hopeless. But at least it wasn’t that she couldn’t get a boyfriend if she wanted to, it was the fact that she simply didn’t want to. She had to stay focused of more important stuff like her grades, future, and getting a good education. Medical school took effort to get into.
While Kagome was stuck in her own musings, Eri and Yuka occupied themselves with their own.
“You don’t think Kagome might be afraid of commitment, do you?” Eri whispered non too quietly.
“I dunno, that would explain why she would refuse Hojo,” Yuka said, pondering the possibility.
“Come on, guys,” Ayumi, who had remained silent until now, had decided to speak up. “Why don’t we leave Kagome alone for awhile?”

Inuyasha laid wide awake in bed, thinking the plan over carefully for flaws. He had to admit, it was fool proof. The guy had great strategy and problem-solving skills. He seemed to really know what he was doing. Guess that left it up to him not to make any mistakes…
To say he was anxious, would be an understatement. If all went as planned, it would be at least twenty minutes before it was discovered they were missing and that would be enough time for them to be out of the building and hopefully near the semi-protection of the forest. Inuyasha had began to dread sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, Kikyou evaded his slumber; some good memories, some bad… some of her murder.
Inuyasha knew he wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.
~ * ~
Kagome groaned. Maybe a sleep over wasn’t such a good idea.
It was Friday night and her three friends were busy disgusting the latest gossip, gushing over celebrities and expressing their girly fantasies while Kagome was deep in her own thoughts. She never felt like she fit in with other girls her age. Kagome was more of a loner by nature. It wasn’t that she was stuck up or that she wasn’t friendly, but she preferred her own company more often than the company of others. Kagome couldn’t help but be annoyed easily by their childish musings and ways of thinking. She had known Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi since they were young kids. They’d been okay friends when it counted, but frankly Kagome couldn’t help but feel like she’d grown apart from them over the years. They were still stuck in teenage lala land while Kagome was looking forward to the future, her career and raising a family someday. She felt like she’d out grown them.
“Helloooo…”
“Earth to Kagome”
Kagome was brought out of her thoughts and she finally noticed the hand being waved obnoxiously in her face. “Huh?,” Kagome turned to their expecting gazes.
“I asked you if you wanted to play Truth or Dare.” Yuka informed her.
“Oh,” Kagome blinked at them a few moments. She would rather not, but… judging from the looks on their faces, they already made up her mind for her. “sure,” Kagome replied somewhat regretfully.
The girls let out high-pitched squeals in excitement and Kagome winced and covered her ears.
“Okay, who’s going first?” Yuka started.
“Oh oh, me! Me! Me!” Eri held her hand high and waved it in the air.
“Okay, Truth or Dare”
Kagome sighed as Eri picked dare and had to call a boy from school and ask him out.
Eri grasped the phone in her hands and held it out from her ear for Yuka and Ayume who were crowded around her, could hear as it rang.
Soon enough, Kagome found herself spacing out again and was dragged back to reality once more when the girls decided it was her turn to choose Truth or Dare.
“Uh, Truth.” Kagome answered, trying to sound as enthusiastic as they were.
“Okay, is it true that you’re afraid of commitment?”
Kagome groaned. ‘Not this again,’ she mentally sighed. “No, I’m not afraid of commitment, thank you very much.” Kagome paused. “Besides, someday I plan on having a family and children. If I’m afraid of commitment, then how do you suppose I plan on getting that?”
The girls shrugged.
Kagome decided she had enough Truth or Dare. “Hey, why don’t you pick out a movie while I go make some popcorn?” Kagome suggested.
They agreed and soon they were in a heated debate between watching ‘The Notebook’ or ‘A Walk to Remember’.
Kagome didn’t particularly care which movie they agreed on. She’d seem them both a million times.
Half way though the movie Ayume was snoring with a stream of saliva at the corner of her mouth, Eri was balling like a baby while Yuka had almost finished the fifth bag of popcorn.
Kagome couldn’t help but smile a little. They might have been a little annoying, but she wouldn’t trade them for the world.

A/N: Thank you all for you reviews. Um, as for the rape thing, I never really meant Inuyasha would actually get raped. I meant he would ALMOST get raped; as in attempted rape. But I was leaning more towards not doing that, either. It’s a little awkward not only having to write it, but simply having it in the story. I just wanted to clear that little misunderstanding up. Anyways, again, thanks so much for giving your reviews and opinions! They were very much appreciated!
p.s.- Um, I can’t really remember the names of Kagome’s friends… I think the one’s I used were pretty close, but I’m not sure. Also, I’m not sure which one is which. If anyone can clear that up for me, that would be great.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Inuyasha, The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, or anything else that I may have forgotten, or might forget in the future. So don’t sue me, please!!
