A/N: Two things. English isn't my first language, so, I apologize about my mistakes in this fic. Second, this is the first of a massive repost of very old Oneshots. It's a long story behind this repost...but this is not the place for that. I'm making a great effort here, so, I'm sorry if my writing style lacks beauty and if my fics is downright boring (as some reviewer said). Please, be patient with me.
All of this stories are unrelated One Shots. Hope you like the idea.
I can't believe it! It is 2:00 am and I woke up to write this! And I woke with the sensation of "I have to write this, or the world would come to its end!"… Maybe I got a problem here… This isn't natural!
Warning: Bad Grammar and boring fic.
Drop me a line after you read this and have fun! I like both, reviews and flames!
… BTW, Inu-Yasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.

OneShot 1:
"MINE!"
He climbed up the well with the determination of dragging Kagome back to the Sengoku period as soon as possible. His patience got a limit and that limit was 3 days. Too bad if Kagome asked and begged for 5, she was going back with him no matter what.
He stopped as he set a foot outside the well house, his nose twitching. He sniffed a couple times and eyed suspiciously at the Go Shimboku Tree… His Tree.
Something was out place.
And our lovable and huggable hanyou wasn't happy at that.
He stared at Kagome windows and then to his tree. He repeated the motion a couple times. Finally, he changed his mind and went to his tree. What he was going to do was a triviality, and Kagome wasn't going to go anywhere in the meantime anyways.
He stood in front of his tree and sniffed again, this time, more deeply. This tree was older than the one at the Sengoku Jidai, but still it was His tree, His own, His precious tree. But something about it made him nervous.
Suddenly, he saw it.
In a blink of an eye, his nose was practically tapping a mark on the base of the tree, A Mark Which Wasn't His! A Mark Which Belonged To Another Dog! He growled in annoyance at the thought: as the territorial being he was, he always got the precaution of marking his tree, the one back at home and this one, so, this was almost like a challenge. He growled again, showing his teeth for a change… but this time, his growls were greeted by another growl.
Inu-Yasha raised his head and look to his right. There, a big German shepherd was looking at him with curiosity, but also with wary in his eyes. The hanyou went on all fours and faced this dog, his nose only centimeters away from him.
"Who are you?" Asked Inu-Yasha.
"Grrrrr!"
"The dog of the household? Since when?"
"Grrrrr, Grrrrr, Grrrrr!"
"Since three days ago…? Feh! By the way: You marked MY tree as yours, but this tree is MINE, got it?"
"Grrrrr!"
"Its MINE, not yours, and I Say So!"
"Grrrrr?"
"I'm Lord Inu-Yasha."
"Hmpf."
"Are You Challenging me?"
"Mm? Hmpf, woof, woof. Grrrrr!"
"Don't Tempt Your Luck, buddy! Now, would you please to get out of my way?"
Inuyasha turned his back to the dog and proceeded to mark the tree with his claws, this time, with more emphasis. A threatening growl caught his attention, and the dog appeared by his left. After a moment of silence, the dog pushed Inu-Yasha with his head away from the tree and soon the growls and grunts started once again.
"This Isn't Your Tree! I Spend 50 YEARS of my life pinned to this tree! That is why is MINE!"
"Grrrrr? Woof, woof. Hmpf."
"I'm not going anywhere until…"
"GRRRR!"
"If You Want A Fight, You'll have it!"
In another place...
Kagome stirred a little and decided to go down to the kitchen. Once there, she checked the hour and sighed a little bit disappointed: she knew that Inuyasha got a little patience when it came to wait for her, and now he was… late. It was a strange thing that he took this long to come into the house, to drag her into the past, and because of that, she was a little bit restless. She sighed again and decided to drink a glass of water.
While she was drinking, a strange noise caught her attention; it's was a mixture between barks, growls and grunts. The first thing she thought was that Sota's new dog was chasing Buyo again… or maybe the mailman. So, she looked through the window casually into the backyard, still drinking her water. A red, white, black and brown blur came into her view, rolling in circles all over the place. Kagome choked and spitted all the water and stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in front of her very eyes.
Inuyasha was fighting with Sota's new dog! Well… it looks like they were playing, but still… Kagome grabbed the nearest broom and ran outside the house.
The hanyou and the dog landed on all fours, one in front of the other, staring at each other, growling, grunting and showing the teeth. None of them had any injuries, but dust, earth and plants covered them completely.
"Inuyasha! STOP RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Kagome, waving the broom like an enraged valkirye. The hanyou looked at her with innocent eyes.
"What? Who Is That?" He asked, pointing at the dog.
"Oh My! Look What You Have Done! You could've Kill Him, You BIG Bully!" Said Kagome, still holding the broom in a defensive stance. Inu-Yasha looked at the dog: he was playing dead. The girl dropped the broom. "OWW, You Poor Thing! OSUWARI!"
"Hey! IDidn'tHurtHim!HeisFaking!" Mumbled Inuyasha, flat on the ground.
"Yeah, sure!" Growled Kagome, kneeling besides the dog, immediately changing her mood. "Oh, poor thing, did he hurt you?"
The dog stared at her with a Sad Sam's face, whining for effect. Kagome petted his head.
"Don't worry, he'll not do it again." Said the girl with the sweetest voice. Then she added in angry mood. "Right Inuyasha?" She asked really upset, as she petted the dog's ears. Inuyasha was still flat on the ground.
"He is faking, he is uninjured!"
"How can you say that? Look at him: he barely can stand up! Inuyasha, what were you thinking: he is smaller then you!" Continued Kagome. "And You Were Fighting With Him? Shame On You!"
In that moment, the dog, still keeping a Sad Sam's face, licked her in her cheek, whining sadly: Kagome smiled and petted him in reward. For some reason, this put Inuyasha very upset with that (REALLY upset), especially when the dog looked at him with a mocking expression. Inuyasha managed to get up and walk towards Kagome.
"He Is Doing This On Purpose!" He said in angry, face red, pointing at the dog, which stuck his tongue out, mocking at him.
Big Mistake. The dog chose that moment to swallow Inuyasha's hand almost completely, and chewed it a few times.
Kagome's reaction: She yelled and hit the dog's nose.
The dog's reaction to Kagome's hit: Whine, bite more, draw blood and let go of the hand.
Inuyasha's reaction: Whine slightly, jump back when he felt his hand free, hugged it and licked the blood away.
"BAD DOG, BAD! That was very wrong, you know that?" Pointed a very angry Kagome. The dog whined. "Don't whine at me, I know that the guy is a jerk, but he doesn't deserve that!"
Kagome stood and walked to Inuyasha side, which still was licking his wound. She kneeled by his side and tried to hold his hand, so she could saw how bad the bite was. The dog appeared moments later by her side, looking curious.
"Oh, Poor You! Don't do that: you are going to get an infection! Inuyasha, let me see!"
"HEY! That Hurts!"
"Stay still, and it would not hurt. Let Me See It!"
"Woof."
Inuyasha look at Kagome, the dog and then to his hand. He knew that his wound would be gone in a few hours, but… this idea got stuck in his mind… It was his turn to put a Sad Sam's Face.
"Ok. You can see."
Kagome bite his low lip when she suddenly saw the expression on Inuyasha's face. She felt the need to hug him right away, but she repressed it. She shook that feeling from her head and checked Inuyasha's hand.
"This is a hell of a bite. We better go inside to wash this. Besides, the first aid kit is in the house. This will need some bandages."
"Feh." Grunted Inuyasha, back is his old self.
Anyways, he let Kagome lead him inside the house. The dog followed them, still in curious, mumbling things that only Inu-Yasha understood, but he ignored him.
"NO! You aren't allowed inside the house. Out!" Said Kagome when the dog tried to get in the house.
Inuyasha look back at the dog and stuck his tongue out. The dog's head fell a little, making him look miserable.
The hanyou followed Kagome to the bathroom and he let her had her way with his hand, even when it hurt him a little. Oddly, he became really quiet, enjoying the sensation of being healed by Kagome, which became very talkative. In any case, Inuyasha let her had her talk as she cleaned his wounds, only whining time to time for effect.
He was mystified with the effects: Kagome's reaction to his Sad Sam's faces were distressing (for her: she felt guilty about the bite): the girl looked about to jump to his neck to hug him… and despite all he could say, that didn't seem like a bad idea at all. He grinned to himself: that opened him a world of possibilities. He only needed one more thing to prove… a kiss in the cheek (C'mon, a lick? Like the dog? Give me a break! Besides, we all here want a kiss!)
"… it's a good thing that I found these bandages to dress your wounds. Probably my Kachaan bought them, since we are facing a lot of dangers. You know, at school…"
The hanyou gathered all of his courage, he shove his pride away and leaned a bit forward, aiming for her cheek. Kagome kept talking too concentrated on taking care of him to notice what he was doing.
"… then I told my sensei that…"
Just a little bit more forward… and Kagome still didn't noticed nothing…
"… I don't think that he bought that…"
Just a little more…
"… I'm so sorry Inuyasha for this, really: Rock, the dog, is really peaceful, I don't know what possessed him… Hey, why are you being so quiet…?"
GASP!
"HMPF?"
"MMH!"
Bad moment to raise the head and look at the hanyou (or good, depending on your point of view). Instead of the kiss on the cheek, accidentally, Inuyasha kissed Kagome on her lips when she suddenly raised her head and look into his eyes. Both of them blushed furiously, but stayed in that position for several seconds, barely breathing, staring at each other's eyes in disbelief, until they part away, looking away, in other direction. Kagome finished dressing Inuyasha's hand, blushing all the time, without saying a word and with her heart threatening to explode from her chest. Inuyasha, on the other hand, found out how interesting was the bathroom walls, blushing as furiously as Kagome.
"Here you go. I finish."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome."
"…"
"…"
"I'm… going home. See you in two days."
"Fine. Take care."
Inuyasha came out of the house quickly and once in the backyard, he walked almost zombie like in the direction of the well, touching his lips without believing what he just done. His attention landed again when he saw the dog lying comfortably at the entrance of the well-house. The hanyou simply ignored him and walked to the entrance door.
"Grrrrr! Grrrrr, wuf, wuf. Woof, woof, Hmpf?" Said the dog, meeting his eyes.
"No, no, She is MINE! Got That?" Said Inuyasha, stepping inside the hokora. "And Yes, I'll come back, like always, so, you better get use to it."
"Hmpf! Wuuf, wuuf. Woof?" Answered the dog, resting his head again between his paws.
"NO! and Yes! I take CARE of her, always!… And yes..." Inuyasha blushed furiously "It was a good kiss…"
"Hmpf." The dog barked.
"Whatever. That will not prevent me from taking her back home."
Inuyasha stomped inside the well-house and disappeared inside the well. The dog grunted for himself and soon he was napping.
As for Kagome… she went to her bedroom and sat in her bed, touching her lips and trying to put some order to her thoughts… after a moment of complete silence, she grabbed the nearest cushion and hugged it tightly.
"ARGH! WHY DOES HE ALWAYS ACTS LIKE THIS?"
… Life got plenty surprises for Kagome as you all can see!
Fin.
