Chapter One: Rover

It seemed like any other day to high school student Kagome Higurashi. Alarm, make bed, shower, brush teeth, comb hair, get dressed, pack lunch, and eat breakfast. Then it was out the door and down the large red steps to school. The routine was always the same; never touched and unflawed. Today would be different though; she could feel it in her side as she walked down the stairs from her pink clad bedroom.

"Kagome! Kagome-chan, could you please come down here a minute?" Her mother calls from the kitchen.

"Mama, what is it?" Kagome asks feet meeting the kitchen's cold tile.

"Kagome-chan, I know this is last minute but could you please walk with Sota and Kohaku today?" Her mother asks placing a steaming bowl of oatmeal on the dinning room table.

"Mama, isn't Sota old enough to walk by himself. I started walking to school at twelve." Kagome complains sitting down.

"I know but your brother has a fear of being alone." Her mother states rolling her eyes.

"Kohaku will be with him, right? So no problem." Kagome adds shoving a spoonful of the hot mush into her mouth.

"Kohaku is just as much as scared as Sota, you know that." Her mother says pointing a finger.

"HOT! Mama, two frightened babies equal a brave lion." Kagome shouts filling her mouth with cold milk her mother had poured her.

"It seems as simple as that, but you know it doesn't work that way. Please just do me this favor, Kagome. Sango and Kohaku will be here in a minute so you might want to pick up the pace." Her mother replies removing the half finished bowl of oatmeal from the table.

"Fine. Sota owes me one though." Kagome mumbles folding her arms across her chest.

"Thank-you, sweetie." Her mother replies kissing her cheek.

"Sure. SOTA! GET UP SOTA IT'S TIME TO LEAVE!" Kagome shouts from the bottom of the staircase.

"What's the rush, Kagome? I'm ready, but what about you?" Sota replies dressed walking down the steps.

"What do you mean? I look ready don't I?" Kagome asks cocking her head.

"Well, you're ready if you call having the bottom of your uniform missing." Sota laughs pointing to Kagome's missing skirt.

"OH NO! Excuse me, Sota!" Kagome hollers rushing up the stairs back into her bedroom. Putting on the bottom of the uniform, Kagome rushes back down the stairs only to find Kohaku and Sango snickering.

"What!?" Kagome growls looking to Sota.

"Nothing!" Kohaku and Sango shout in unison. The last thing they needed was a furious Kagome.

"Whatever. Can we go now please?" Kagome asks hoisting her yellow backpack onto her shoulders.

"Yeah. Lets go." Sango smiles throwing an arm over Kagome's shoulders.

Walking out of the house Kagome, Sango, Sota, and Kohaku walk down the red shrine steps onto the side walk. Waiting for them near the steps it Sango's lecherous boyfriend Miroku. Lacing fingers with Miroku, Sango continues to follow Kagome and the two youngsters.

"So Kagome, what's new with you?" Miroku asks kissing Sango's cheek.

"Nothing much. What about you, Miroku?" Kagome asks slowing down to walk in time with the two lovers.

"Not much. I think I failed the exam in English, but that isn't a surprise." Miroku laughs throwing his head back.

"You didn't study. I'd be surprised if you passed with a D-." Sango replies rolling her eyes.

"I don't want to be an English major, so who cares?" Miroku answers sarcastically.

"Your parents. Do you really want to be shipped to military school?" Sango growls looking hard into his deep blue eyes.

"Only if you'd come with me." Miroku says seductively.

"Make me wonder what you two could get away with?" Kagome chuckles thinking of the military officers yelling at Miroku for being lecherous.

"I have a future ahead of me. Unlike you I don't want to spend my high school career in military school. And Kagome, get your mind out of the gutter." Sango warns tossing a hand up into the air.

"It's a thought worth thinking. Made me laugh." Kagome giggles again looking to the youngsters up ahead.

"Whatever." Sango hisses rolling her eyes.

"HEY SOTA! KOHAKU! YOU BAKAS GET OUT OF THE ROAD!" Kagome growls chasing after the two twelve year olds.

"KOHAKU, SOTA, KAGOME WHERE ARE YOU THREE GOING?!" Sango yells dragging Miroku to the scene.

Running fast Kagome soon catches up with Sota and Kohaku. Looking two the two boys they are standing around a group of children hollering and screaming. Sticks flying high up into the air Kagome hears tiny whines and yelps coming from inside the ring of children. Pushing past the middle school students Kagome finds a white germen shepherd covered in blood. Gasping Kagome races into the middle picking up the injured dog who is just about as big and as heavy as herself.

"What the hell do you little monsters think you are doing?!" Kagome screams at the middle school students holding the dog close to her chest.

"Rover here bit Minoru and we wanted to get him back." One of the children spoke up looking into Kagome's dark brown eyes.

"You probably provoked the poor little thing! You have no right beating up innocent dogs like that!" Kagome hisses fiercely.

"But…" Another child tries to protest.

"No buts! If I catch you children ever doing something this cruel to an animal again, I will personally make it my duty to have you all arrested. This is a hate crime!" Kagome snarls stomping away.

"Kagome, where are you going?" Sango calls to Kagome who is still holding the injured germen shepherd.

"I'm going home to take care of the dog. Sango, please finish bringing Sota and Kohaku to school. And Miroku if you can, could you please inform the school about the children's actions." Kagome asks heading home.

"Sure, Kags!" Sango calls walking coraling the two boys.

"No problem, Kagome." Miroku answers turning to the scared youngsters.

It is then that Kagome heads on the long trek back home to the shrine. This time she holds a whimpering germen shepherd in her arms. Looking up at Kagome with pained golden eyes, the rather large dog lets out a tiny whimper. Stroking his head gently Kagome presses her face to his. Licking her face with his wet tounge Kagome lets out a small giggle.

"No need to say thank-you. I wasn't going to let them beat you up, puppy." Kagome giggles rubbing the blood stained fur.

"Woof!" The germen shepherd barked looking to her face with big golden orbs.

"Really it's okay. You're a really handsome dog you know. All you need is some antiseptic and a bath. I'll take care of you…." Kagome trails off. "I don't know your name. Do you have a name, boy?"

"Woof!" The dog barks again lifting up his neck to reveal a red worn out collar.

"Inuyasha? What a peculiar name. Well, there's no street address so you must have been thrown out onto the street by your owners. That's okay though. You can stay with me."

"Woof!"

"You'd like that, boy? Alright Inuyasha, you can stay with me. I'll take care of you." Kagome replies to the happy bark. "I'll take care of you, Inuyasha."

So that's chapter one. Please read and review and I'll give you chapter two.
