Furokku..
Mikkusu blinked, trying to adjust his eyes to the morning sunlight. The sun was an evil thing.. Most would argue, but it was the sun's fault for that rude awaking.. He placed one hand on his forehead, shielding his eyes from the bright rays..Ah. That made it a bit easier to see. Then the tall elf yawned, rubbing his eyes, his light blue hair shimmering in the sun's bright rays. Now..He had to find that group carrying the shards. He had to complete his task if he wanted to get his reward. He grinned slightly, standing up, and pulling his knife from his belt, twirled it in his fingers, then stopped it when the blade was pointed up. Mikkusu had a good offer, no concern for lives. Kill them all if he wanted. Kill them, but get the shards. From what he heard, they shouldn't be too much trouble..A tiny kitsune, A hanyou, a monk, a female demon slayer, and a priestess. Sounded like a dangerous crew at first, but after studying..He had discovered..They were a dangerous crew. At least, for the unknowledgeable. He, was NOT one of those unknowledgeable people however, and this looked like an easy situation for him. He smiled to himself, tucked his knife away, and proceeded to stretch for a moment, then put his hands on his hips, a small smile on his lips.
"Not a hard situation at all.."

A pebble flew into the air, landed a few feet away, then bounced back down, remained for a moment, before flying back up into the air, the same pattern repeating over and over, as a bored half-demon kicked the rock absentmindedly. His eyes were dull, grazing up and down as the pebble came off the ground, then landed again, a sound pattern forming as he kicked the pebble. First a small 'thud' followed by a 'click' or two, depended on how far the pebble went, followed by another 'thud' so the result was 'thud' 'click' 'click' 'thud'. At first it wasn't bad, but after listening to it for the last 45 minutes, Kagome was fed up. She opened her mouth to speak, yet, 'Inu-' was all she got out. For soon after wards, a dog came plummeting out of the woods, crashed into the hanyou, skidded slightly, caused Inuyasha to fall over, then the dog fell right on top of him, a dazed expression on it's face, Inuyasha's a bit more confused. However, the position the two were in was enough to make anyone laugh. Which is what everyone did. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou. All of them. Inuyasha however, growled, then shoved the dog off of him(the poor dog yelped as this happened) , then turned a bright shade of red, and turned, so his back faced the others. He obviously didn't find it funny.
Later at dinner, after the situation was long from forgotten, but wasn't going to be talked about, Kagome spoke up.
"What should we name it?"
It, referring to the dog. After the incident, the dog had trailed after them for a while, a hopeful, yet sullen and hungy expression on it's face, it's coat looking raggedy ..and after awhile, Kagome fell for it, and asked if they could keep it, just for the night, then maybe find a good home for it the next day. She sounded like a pleading child as she asked Inuyasha this question over and over and over, and despite his run in with the pooch, he finally agreed, claiming to have because he wanted Kagome to shut-up. So the dog had stayed, and so had Inuyasha's grumpiness. All the way to dinner. Then the hanyou got his ramen, and was happy. Everyone's gaze shot to Kagome when she spoke, including the dog's, it's head titled to the side slightly. It had recently been receiving attention from Miroku, the monk having been scratching its ears since he started eating. He had taken an odd liking to the dog, and had been petting it ever since they had been able to sit down, yet, with Kagome's question, he stopped, and gave his full attention to her.
"I don't know..I never really thought about a name, Kagome-chan.."
Sango said, shrugging.
"I didn't think we were keeping it that long.."
Kagome frowned, and argued,
"But still, it needs a name!"
Miroku sighed slightly. He had learned something about Kagome..If she got attached to something..Fat chance she was letting it go. That dog was going to probably be there a lot longer then Inuyasha could ever want. Silence commenced the group for a minute, eyes darting from one another, to the dog... And after a moment or two, Kagome spoke up again.
"Well.. I think we should call him Furokku.. You know, like a fluke.."
Inuyasha nearly choked on his ramen when he heard that. He then narrowed his eyes and glared at Kagome, realizing what fluke she was referring to.
"Is that okay?"
She asked. Everyone but Inuyasha shrugged, and nodded, muttering a 'Sure why not'. Kagome smiled, clapping her hands together.
"Furokku it is."
Miroku shrugged, and went back to petting the dog, placing his empty ramen bowl aside.
"Like that name?"
He asked the dog in a low murmur, smiling, not expecting an answer, but to his surprise, the dog looked at him, it's eyes saying, 'I don't care..' Before it licked it's lips and yawned, then moved away from Miroku, and curled up in a pile of leaves coincidently, near Inuyasha. Inuyasha gave the dog a strange look, then moved a bit closer to it, and spoke to it, like Miroku, but in a different manor.
"Look mutt, I know you're not just a dog.. I smelled it in you when I first ..ran into you.." He wrinkled his nose at the term. "..The only problem is, I'm not sure what you are..But I WILL find out, and don't think I won't--"
"Are you talking to Furokku, Inuyasha?"
Kagome suddenly asked, looking curiously at the hanyou. Inuyasha immediately turned red.
"Pft. NO! Why would I do that?!" He argued, crossing his arms and turning away. Furokku shuddered, reflecting on what Inuyasha had said. He glanced at the hanyou, before standing up, and heading back near Miroku. He mustn't toy with that one. That defiantly wouldn't be a wise choice. As he crossed the path where the fire was built, his coat shimmered, a light blue color seeming to show..
