A/N: *hides from angry Seadogs readers pelting her with apples* Ok ok ok! I get it! I can just hear you guys saying, "WTF ARE YOU DOING?! You're supposed to be updating Seadogs! Not writing another story!"
Well, it was on my writing to-do list ok?! XD Sorry people, still thinking about chapter 11. Most of my fighting scenes/escape scenes comes from dreams, and the only thing that has happened in my dream is that Sesshomaru was in modern Tokyo and Kagome and InuYasha freaked out seeing him there. XD Ok ok, on with my story.
Besides! For you InuYasha fans, this is a good thing! If I'm not updating one story, I'm probably updating the other! But trust me, I'm not completely abandoning my Seadogs story.
Note for Fans Who Are Reading my story, Taken: I'm sorry I haven't been updating at all! It's just that I fell out of my Invader Zim fandom and find no motivation. I might update 1 more chapter, and I MIGHT discontinue it. I might not. It's likely I won't because I don't like to discontinue stories.
Enjoy ~
oOoOoOoOo
"Please sir, I have no where else to stay, and it is freezing cold outside." An old man begged, on his knees.
The selfish prince only snorted at his request. "And let a dirty old man like you soil my carpet? Never! Now get out of here!" he barked.
The sad old man looked at him with pleading eyes but left. As the prince was about to close the door, a golden glow blinded his eyes. Using his arms to shield his eyes from the light, he opened the door to his castle to see what was going on.
"Inuyasha…" a melodious voice called sternly.
Cracking one eyelid open, InuYasha peeked out to see who had called for him. The sight before him was breathtaking. A woman covered in light and silk loomed over him, giving him an angry look. Her loose raven locks flicking and floating in the air, in what seemed to be slight rage.
"Why did you not let that poor man in? He could die out here…" she scolded.
"What? Who are you?"
"I am an enchantress known as Kikyo, and I see great coldness in your heart." She continued.
"How dare you insult me! Do you know who I-"
"Silence prince." Kikyo cut him off. "InuYasha, you are not fit to be the next ruler of these Western Lands after your brother passes the throne to you. You have no love towards the kingdom. You care only for yourself, and thus will be punished for it."
"Listen, lady, I will rule this land as good as Sesshomaru will! And who are you to stop me?!" he spat.
"Did you forget, that I am an enchantress?" she smirked, and held a spell, ready to be cast, glowing in her hand.
"Prince InuYasha Takahashi, you are now cursed to live your life as a dog until the very day you learn to love someone unconditionally. Should you fail to learn to love in 501 years, you will die as nothing but a common mutt." Kikyo replied calmly, and before InuYasha could protest, run, or do anything, the prince was frozen in his tracks as a glow hit him.
InuYasha's bones and organs rearranged themselves to shape his body into that of a dog. Instead of his silvery, white hair on his head, they grew into fur all over his body. His face grew into a muzzle, and a tail sprouted from behind, as he fell to his knees in pain.
The only normal thing about him were the twin, triangular dog ears that were already on his head.
And there he was. In place of the hanyou prince stood a large white, Akita Inu standing at the door of his palace.
"Kikyo you bitch!" he growled. He then realized, he could still speak! He could tell his father, his mother, anyone! They could have Kikyo killed and get revenge, but Kikyo was smarter than that to leave him speaking.
"Ah ah, dogs don't talk." She smirked, and put her fingertips together, pulling them along as if she was pulling a zipper and instantly, InuYasha's mouth closed.
When the dog hanyou tried again to speak, all he could do was bark. Kikyo chuckled at his attempts.
"InuYasha, I am not a cruel woman." She knelt before the large dog that was InuYasha, "But this is what you get for all those years of coldness towards your future kingdom." She sighed and stood up. Snapping her fingers, dark purple rosary beads with claws in between, appeared on his neck.
"The fuck is this for?" he thought mentally, seeing it fit to replace his speech. He guessed that since Kikyo was an enchantress, should could probably tell what he was thinking.
"This, InuYasha, is to keep you behaved. Only the one who can control you with this subjugation collar is the one you are meant to learn to love. Whether you are to simply befriend that person or you are to fall in love. Your pick. I can't control your feelings, only your life and death."
"Good bye, prince. Every decade I shall pop in on you, just to keep you in check. You are incapable of dying until the 501 years are over, but you are capable of injuring." And with that, the stern enchantress glowed gold and began to disappear.
Wait! InuYasha barked after her light, Why? Why did you make the punishment so harsh?! He growled.
"This is how harsh you were…" Kikyo's voice echoed. "And this is how harsh you will get from me…" All of the light disappeared, tiny sparkles falling from it.
InuYasha stood there flabbergasted. How dare she! He howled in pure rage. He was now stuck as dog. What was he going to do? If his parents saw him, they wouldn't recognize him and keep him as a pet. That would do him no good. If he was going to find someone to befriend or fall in love with, he wouldn't be able to find that person in the castle.
He decided, it would be best if he just left and never returned. He could live 501 years anyways.
His ears dropped low against his skull, he sulked out of the palace, ready to live life as a common Akita Inu dog.
OOoOoOoOo
Over the years, InuYasha had gotten used to living life as a dog. He had no owner, and whenever someone did try to adopt him, he'd either run away or they would get rid of him. 500 years flew past him like crazy.
He didn't even notice the changes in life and practically forgot about his royal life.
He'd mostly been a stray around the now modern Tokyo and was wanted by dog catchers everywhere. He had been one of the uncatchable dogs, but all that was going to have to change…
