The Dog's Outta the Bag.
By Shenlong Girl
Rating: PG Genre: Humor, action Author's Note: Ah, I can feel it again! My muse has yet once more graced me with her presence! In any case, this is my first Inu-Yasha fic. I have only seen up to a point shortly after the gang met Sango, maybe ten or fewer eps after the trauma with her town, so there shall be no Kouga or anything much beyond what I have seen. Still, this should turn out well. I have planned this fic through chapter five, and it looks good. One more thing: I cannot remember the names of Kagome's school friends, so I have made up three original friends. I would just find the names, but I also know nothing of their personalities. Thus, Sakura, Makoto, and Hitomi are my original characters, for usage in my personal Inu-Yasha universe. Besides, I like putting a little extra of myself in my fan fiction. Oh, yeah.

Prologue: Caught Unawares
Sakura walked happily along the path to the Higurashi family home. Kagome had been sick again, so Sakura had filled a basket with all sorts of goodies, including a letter from Hojo. Half Caucasian, her dark auburn hair showed brighter red flashes as a light breeze allowed the sun to play along her locks. She pushed a stray bit of hair behind her ear; her Caucasian father also gave her hair a bit of frizz, so it helped to keep part of it tied back, still preferring for most of it to fall across her shoulders. She smiled as she knocked on the door. However, after a few knocks, she decided that either no one was home or Kagome was asleep and did not hear the door. Disappointed, she turned away and began to walk.until she heard voices.
Sakura paused and listened. Yep, there were voices, two of them. They seemed to come from the shrine, and they sounded as if raised in anger. When they quieted down and she could no longer hear them, Sakura crept along to investigate. One of those voices sounded suspiciously like Kagome!
As she neared the hut where the family kept that weird bone well, she saw something quite shocking. Covering her mouth to stifle a cry of surprise, she hid behind a corner and watched the unfolding scene.
"Kagome, I'm sorry. Why do you have to be such a stubborn wench?" a white- haired young man questioned weakly, sounding tired. He looked about her and Kagome's age, but he wore a large red garment one might associate with ancient Japan. He also wore a sword at his hip. However, the thing that really freaked out Sakura was that the guy had his arms wrapped around Kagome from behind, and he had his face buried in her back. To Sakura's even greater alarm, Kagome did not seem very distressed.
"Inu-Yasha." she began in a defeated, tired tone. However, Sakura could no longer hold in her shock. Who was this "Inu-Yasha?!"
"Kagome! Whatthehellisgoingonhere?!"
The pair's heads shot up, their eyes widened in shock, and Inu-Yasha's ears perked up. Then, in unison, they slowly turned their heads to stare at the frazzled Sakura.
Kagome, just as frazzled, could not think of anything useful to say, so she stalled.
"S-S-Sakura! What're you. How did you. Why are you here?"
"Me? I was just bringing you something to make you feel better, but no one answered the door, and I heard shouting. Who is that guy? And.and." Sakura's voice faded as she noticed Inu-Yasha's doggy ears, which twitched. She noticed neither those nor his golden eyes before because of their previous position behind Kagome's back.
"AAAAHH! Why do his ears move?! Kagome!!"
Kagome launched herself from Inu-Yasha's grasp to grab Sakura's shoulders.
"Shh! Sakura, there's a perfectly good explanation for this."
