Star: Hay everyone! As I promised, I'm starting a new Inuyasha story. Since I finished my other one, I decided to start writing this. If you are wondering how I finished my other story when I have only one chapter, here is a recap: it got deleted! But don't worry, I am reposting it.
Anyway, this story will mention the fight sometimes, but it's not centered around this. It's a really cute, funny story and I hope everyone likes it. So please read and review
disclaimer: -.-...................i hate all you lawyers. I don't own Inuyasha,
A New Face
Kagome walked up the steps of the shrine, too absorbed in her book to notice anything else around her. 'Stupid Inuyasha,' she thought. 'He always makes me late on days I have tests.'
She then smiled to herself, as she closed her book. "Who am I kidding? I'd rather stay with him than take these tests. Especially my chemistry test."
She looked up suddenly, feeling a strange power appear over the area and then disappear. "What was that? It doesn't feel like a demon, but then what could it be? It feels familiar." She slowly climbed up the rest of the steps and prepared herself for any sudden attack.
She then saw a flash of red and silver jump past her. She rolled her eyes in aggravation, and dropped her bag. "Inuyasha! I told you I'd be back in three days. Can't you wait that long?"
She then looked at the figure in front of her. Her eyes nearly fell out of her head. "But....you're.."
Kagome stared at the strange person in front of her, barely breathing. In front of her stood Inuyasha....well, more like an impossibly kawaii baby version of Inuyasha. This little boy wore the same clothes, had the same silver hair, soft ears, and had the same deep golden eyes of her Inuyasha. But this wasn't her Inuyasha. This boy looked......he looked......he looked five!
"Inu...Inuyasha?" she asked, slowly moving towards the other.
Suddenly, the little boy ran from her and hid behind the Goshinboku Tree. He peeked out at her, trying to hide himself completely. Kagome was completely confused by his....or the kids actions, so she tried calling out to him again.
"Inuyasha, is that you? Why are you running? It's me, Kagome, remember?"
The boy silently shook his head, hiding even more. He looked like he was about to run, so she sat down on the ground. "Inuyasha, come here. I won't hurt you, I promise. Please come here," she said smiling brightly, trying to coax the little boy into coming to her. It had worked on Sota when he was little, so maybe it would work on him.
Kagome noticed the little boy was starting to relax, so she leaned in a little closer. "Don't be afraid. I'd never hurt you. I'm your friend."
The boy took a tentative step from behind the tree and slowly walked closer to her, stopping in front of her, just out of her reach. Kagome smiled even more, and opened her arms, "Can I have a hug?" she asked in her sweetest voice. The boy walked into her arms cautiously, ready to run at the first sign. Kagome hugged him gently, feeling the little body tense up. She smiled and brought him on her lap, hugging him more. Presently the boy relaxed and hugged her back lightly.
"See, I'd never hurt you. Now tell me, are you Inuyasha?"
The little boy nodded his head. "Yes, I am Inuyasha," he whispered.
Kagome was confused again. She had just seen Inuyasha less than eight hours ago. How could he be a five year old kid? "Do you know me?"
The little Inuyasha shook his head. "No, and I don't know where I am either," he said his voice starting to break. "I'm scared. I don't know how I got here, and this place is so strange," little Inuyasha said, tears starting to roll down his cheek. Kagome's motherly instincts kicked in and she hugged the little boy closer to her.
"Shh. It's ok, don't cry. I'm here for you. Don't cry," she said rubbing his back gently.
The little Inuyasha wiped his tears away, and hugged her closer. "There now, you feel better?" she asked. Little Inuyasha nodded his head, but stayed silent. "You don't have to be scared here. I'm Kagome. I'm your best friend, and don't ever forget that, k," she said with a smile.
Little Inuyasha smiled back and hugged her closer. "Now come on. Let's do something fun, ok?" she said, getting up. Little Inuyasha clung to her shoulders, and sat on her hip. Kagome walked inside her house holding him, the biggest smile ever on her face.
On the other side of the well, Inuyasha wasn't as happy. 'Damn it, she's taking to long!' he thought as he stared inside the well. "That's it! Forget three days, she's been gone long enough," he said as he jumped in to retrieve his mate.
"There he goes again. When will he learn?" asked Miroku, as he, Sango, and Shippo rose from their hiding place.
"Should we prepare the medicines houshi?" asked Sango as she started off in the direction of the village.
"No, let's wait and see how he comes back this time. But if he comes back very injured, we're going to have to travel to another village to get the bandages."
"He'll never change," said Shippo, hopping on Miroku's shoulder, falling asleep as the demon exterminator and monk walked through the trees.
Inuyasha hopped out of the well and started sniffing the air. 'She's home. Good, now I won't have to wait for that 'school' of hers to let out." Inuyasha started to walk up the steps when another scent hit him. He stopped dead in his tracks, sniffing the air again. 'What the- It can't be. That's impossible.'
Inuyasha ran out of the well house in time to see a red streak fly by him. He picked up on the scent and chased after it. He chased the streak all around the grounds of the shrine before catching up to it. He had cornered it in a tree and was slowly drawing his sword out when Kagome ran around the corner.
"Inuyasha! I thought you would come back soon....what are you doing? Inuyasha, put your sword away!"
"Not till I find out what that thing is," he said getting ready to attack.
"Sit boy!"
Inuyasha fell on the ground rather painfully. He watched the red streak jump down and hide itself behind Kagome. Inuyasha growled and got up, walking towards what ever it was.
"Inuyasha calm down! Nothing's wrong. Just listen to me," Kagome said, trying to get through to him, but to no avail.
"Kagome, what is that thing? Something's not right with it," Inuyasha growled.
"Wrong? Like what?"
"Like the fact he has my scent! That's what's wrong!"
"Inuyasha, listen to me. The reason he has your scent is because he's you."
Inuyasha wasn't expecting that answer, so all his rage and anger suddenly blew away, leaving him empty...and baffled. "......huh?"
Kagome stepped back, revealing the thing behind her. Inuyasha's eyes grew ten times their size when he saw a small him standing there. "Kagome......what's going on?" he whispered.
"Like I said. That little boy is you," she answered slowly, giving it time to sink in.
"What do you mean he's me?" Inuyasha said, starting to yell again.
The little Inuyasha hid behind Kagome again, afraid of this new stranger. He didn't know why the older boy chased him, or why he was so mad, and he really didn't want to find out.
"I can't explain it very well, but from what he's told me, he was playing in a garden when he was suddenly surrounded by sparkling blue lights, and then ended up here."
"I don't remember that ever happening to me."
Kagome shrugged and picked the little Inuyasha up. "Either way Inuyasha, you are NOT to hurt him. You would just be hurting yourself. I don't want a scratch on him, you hear?"
Inuyasha growled and crossed his arms. "So what do we do with him?"
"Until he can find his way home, he'll stay with us."
"With us! No way! He can't come with us when we're searching for the shards!"
"Then he can stay with Kaede."
"What if he does something wrong?"
"As if you don't do that enough?"
"What if someone takes him?"
"Then we go after him, no matter what. I won't leave him alone."
Little Inuyasha listened to them argue, and buried his face in Kagome's chest. "Kag-chan, does this person hate me?" he asked, his voice slightly muffled by Kagome's shirt.
Kagome and Inuyasha stopped arguing and looked at him. Kagome smiled at him and hugged him tightly. "Of course not! He's just a stubborn mule, but he doesn't hate you."
Inuyasha stood there watching Kagome comfort the little boy, and his mind wandered to thoughts of his pups and rasing his family. He couldn't help but smile at the boy.
"Nah kid, I don't hate you. This is just very wierd," he said, placing a hand on the boy's head.
The little Inuyasha smiled cutely, happy he was accepted by someone.
"Now what? Do we go back to your time to talk to Kaede about this? No one in this time can help us, and I can't figure anything out by myself."
"Sure, but we better leave now," Inuyasha said, walking back to the well house.
"Why?" she asked, following him.
"Because I can smell that stupid Homo coming."
Kagome smiled slightly, and rushed into the well house before Hojo saw her.
"Kag-chan where are we going?" asked little Inuyasha.
"Were going to see another friend. Don't worry, she's very nice."
"She won't chase me everywhere, will she?"
Kagome laughed, "No, she's not a big of an idiot like Inuyasha," she said with a smile on her face. "She's really nice. You don't have to be afraid of her Inu-chan."
"Inu-chan?" Inuyasha repeated as he leaned over the well.
"Yes. He is Inu-chan, and you are my Inu-koi," she said as she passed him. "Along with other things," she whispered in his ears, before she jumped down.
Inuyasha stood there for a moment before regaining composure and jumping down the well after her.
