Disclaimer: Sad to say, I don't own Inuyasha. I'd really like it if someone would give me Inuyasha for my birthday – it's coming up soon – but since I probably won't be getting Inuyasha, I'd settle for some of the manga instead… and lots of reviews, please!

Hey! – Chapter 1
Day 1 – Intruder on the premises
----------------------
"Growf! Growf rowf wowf!" Inuyasha's ears flickered back, turning his head to hear where that noise was coming from. He had just hopped out of the well to go pick Kagome up – 'Cheese doodles, that girl is late again' – and suddenly he was assaulted with these unfamiliar sounds and scents.
'Ugh, some one has invaded my territory,' Inuyasha frowned. Suddenly he smirked and, cracking his knuckles, dashed out of the well house. 'Well then, I'll just have to… evict them, won't I?'
He decided to sneak around to the back of the house, where the sounds were coming from, but not before pausing to look over the Goshinboku – make sure his property wasn't tainted. To his horror, it was. 'No way!' He looked it over and carefully remarked it as his. 'This is my tree! I was pinned to it for fifty years – this is MY tree!' After marking it (no! no urination ew!), he skirted around back and then crawled along on his knees, preparing to ambush the intruder.
'Hn, must be careful – can't alert the enemy to my presence,' Inuyasha thought. He peeked over a bush and nearly leapt over, hollering. As it was, he just froze stock still like a statue, completely horrified.
Kagome, his Kagome, was playing with a puppy! He never felt so betrayed. He stared on, crushed – she couldn't possibly be thinking of replacing him with… with that little thing, could she! No way that little pup could possibly protect her – she would have to protect him. Unbeknownst to him, a whimper escaped.
"Eh?" Kagome glanced back over her shoulder and sweatdropped. 'A bush seems to be growing a pair of fuzzy white puppy ears.' Carefully picking the fluffy white fur ball in her arms, she walked over to the now quivering bush.
"Hm? Oh hello Inuyasha," she smiled down at the sad hanyou hidden in the greenery. "What are you doing back there? Come here and play with Ryu and me." So saying she smiled an even more saccharine smile than the first and grabbed one of Inu's ears, soliciting a yelp from him. "Come along – now."
Grumbling to himself, Inuyasha found himself being dragged over to the patio and made to sit next to that annoying wench. He refused to look at her. Kagome's eyebrow twitched.
'What's his problem?' She glared at him for a few moments before sighing. 'Well, even if he won't speak to me, I will speak to him.' Kagome scrunched up her nose, thinking of what to say when her eyes cast on little Ryu, joyfully jumping onto a ball bigger than he was.
"Well, what do you think of Ryu? He's going to be staying with us for a while so I won't be able to head back to the Sengoku Jidai… his master's out of town and has asked us to watch him while she's away." Kagome smiled brightly at her own genius, not quite noticing the way Inuyasha slowly turned to look at her.
"He's not… yours?" Inuyasha's voice came low next to her ear.
"Ah… wahs-zat?" Kagome blinked her eyes to look at Inuyasha, surprised he said anything. Great amber eyes stared into hers.
"Eek!" Without thinking she swung her hand out, swatting Inuyasha across the face and onto the floor.
"Waugh!" The inu hanyou was back on his feet and looked mad as a hornet. "What the frijoles was that for, wench?" he howled.
'Frijoles?' she thought. 'Where'd he ever get that from?'
Looking plainly at him she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to – were you watching my Tele without me again?"
Inuyasha blushed. "Feh." Suddenly remembering, he questioned her. "You never answered my question."
"Questio– oh! Right. He's our neighbors, but she had to go visit her sick auntie in the next town and couldn't bring him… her auntie's allergic to dogs."
"Oh." Fears alleviated ('Fears? What fears! Feh!') the inu hanyou flopped down onto the grass, eyes closed.
Slurp!
"What the flapjacks was that?" squawked the poor inu hanyou, whose face was now very, very wet. He turned to look for the source of the happy yip by his side. Ryu was sitting next to him, wagging his tail like mad.
"Aw look, he likes you!" cooed Kagome, picking up the wriggling white hairball. "Awn't chu a goo' puppy? Yehsh yu aw, yehsh yu aw!" she babbled happily at him.
'I hate you,' glared Inuyasha at the puppy's back, taken aback when Ryu turned to glance over at him… and winked.
Gulp 'Why do I get a bad feeling about this?' Inuyasha sweated.
Owari
Well, I was originally going to make this a one shot, but I thought, what the hey, let's see how many chapters I can add before I run out of notes. In any one of my stories (even the tiny DBZ one shots I've got up) I can easily have twenty pages worth of notes all chopped up and scattered around my room, backpack, downstairs closet, car… all waiting for me to find them and disassemble and reassemble to my heart's content. (Johnny 5 – Short Circuit – comes gliding through, waving arms wildly through the air: "No disassemble! No disassemble!") Blinks eyes… wow, passionate little guy, i'n' 'e?
Note: no, I don't own Johhny 5 or any other part of Short Circuit – not even a passing commercial on video tape… :sighz:
