Hi I'm Houseki. I've done other fics (a one shot and two freaky comedy things) but this is my first real one so please no flames. Read and review! _________________________ I don't own Inuyasha but I own this ficie and I own Kori. You can post this on your website or whatever but tell me an give me credit. You can use Kori in your fic if you want but, again, you gotta tell me and give me credit. And if you get an idea from any of my fics, please say so in yours. Thanks. _______________________________

The Ice Hanyou

Chapter One: ''Dog Ears!"

Kagome was suddenly surrounded by a familiar blue glow as she made her way back to her own time. Dusk was setting when she touched down in her era.

"Mom! I'm back," she called as she climbed out of the hidden well.

"Kagome? Back so soon? I thought you said you'd be gone for a few weeks. It's only been three days."

"Yeah, well, something turned up," she replied, remembering her most recent fight with Inuyasha.

"Oh, Kagome, before I forget. There was a fire at the orphanage and we were asked to take care of a young boy. He's about Sota's age, but they aren't sure. His name is Kori and he and Sota are playing in his room. You should go meet him. He'll be spending a lot of time here until we enroll him in school and that could take weeks because he has never been before."

"Okay, Mom. See ya!''

Kagome made her way down the hall towards her kid brother's room. ''I hope he isn't a brat like that neighbor kid," she said to herself as she neared the door of Sota's bedroom.

"Aaahhhhhh!! Someone's coming!"

She opened the door and saw two young boys sitting on the floor. One smiled up at her as she entered, but the other stared at her with fear in his eyes and his hands planted firmly on his head. 'His hair is really messy,' she thought, 'and it has blue tips. How strange.'

"It's alright," Sota told the boy, "she's the one I told you about."

The child slowly removed his hands to reveal.dog ears! _________________________________________________ Sorry its so short but I kinda don't know how I'm gonna explain all this other stuff.
