Heya, here's Chapter 2 of The Puppy Dog Heir! Thank you so much for your patience for an update, it's extra long for you. Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'll edit later. And there are lots of breaks but I felt like they needed to be there. But other than that enjoy!


Chapter 2

Inuyasha couldn't believe what Kagome had said to him. Of course his Uncle was dark, he was a crime lord, but he'd never control his nephew like that...would he? Sesshomaru had heard the whole thing and hadn't said anything either.

When they arrived at the mansion, Naraku's secretary informed them that he wanted to meet with them quickly before he went out. They made their way up too the top floor in the elevator.

"Should we mention it?" Inuyasha finally asked his older brother, wanting his advice for once.

"If it's bothering you so much, maybe you should ask him." Sesshomaru wasn't one to talk much, but for him to say a whole sentence was even more surprising than Kagome talking to him.

"Ok then...I will."

The elevator doors opened, and their Uncle's office became visible…it was full of demons, as usual. When the people in the room noticed their bosses nephews, they moved to the sides of the room, revealing Naraku at his desk. He looked up and caught sight of the boys, moving his long dark hair out of the way and smiling in their direction.

"Sesshomaru! Inuyasha! It's great to see you. How was your first day back?"

Inuyasha's brother went back to saying one word at this point, possibly on guard in front of all their Uncle's workers. "Interesting."

"Interesting?" Naraku looked between his nephews. Something was different between them, especially Inuyasha. "Why would that be?"

The youngest brother wished that they could get a moment alone with their Uncle, which rarely ever happened; every part of their 'family' was always on show.

"A new girl started at school today."

"In her last year of high school? How difficult for her."

"Yes...it turns out she knew Kikyo...well...actually she's Kikyo's cousin." Naraku didn't say anything as his nephew spoke. "She blames us...for Kikyo's death..."

As Inuyasha informed him of Kagome, Naraku had to hold back an extreme look of interest; something stirred in his nephew's soul, something he'd been waiting to stir in Inuyasha ever since he hit puberty. Stealing a look at Sesshomaru, he noticed the oldest brother reacting to this difference as well.

"There's no truth to any of her accusations is there, Uncle?"

"Of course not my boy." Naraku replied with ease, as if he'd been listening the whole time. "This is nothing more than an angry girl, and she has every right to be I suppose. She did lose a family member."

Inuyasha hid a sigh of relief at his Uncle's words. He felt more calm and he knew he could face Kagome tomorrow. As he thought about the new girl, Naraku and Sesshomaru both saw a pulse emit from Inuyasha, but they didn't comment on it. Instead, Naraku smiled and shook his head.

"Well then, thank you for coming up to see me. I've got a bit more work to do so I won't be at dinner, but you two enjoy."

The boys said goodbye to their Uncle and got back into the elevator. Sesshomaru didn't bother asking if Inuyasha believed their guardian because he already knew his brother too well; Inuyasha believed what he had too to avoid unwanted feelings. Before they went into their separate rooms he watched as his brother shut the door, foreboding tickling the back of his neck.


Inuyasha had tried not to think about her. He'd almost succeeding at forgetting. That sounds bad, but so much had happened, and his emotions had been so unpredictable during that time...the time before...the time before Kikyo left him. He could barely admit it to himself.

They hadn't been together long, but Kikyo was his world. Her smile, her laugh, her eyes, her lips...just her...with him. He'd never had a girlfriend who made him feel so calm and so in control of his life which was now...beautiful.

When she stopped speaking to him, he didn't understand. It was like some alien had replaced Kikyo. At first she just didn't talk to him during conversations, and then she started avoiding him, and then he barely saw her. Caring and worried he searched and asked around for her, but everyone said they hadn't seen her. When he did find her, she was at home with her family.

He regretted everything that followed.

It was calm at first; they went out into her back garden and he asked her what was wrong and if he could help, almost begging and pleading saying that avoiding him wasn't the answer. If she felt unhappy, all she had to do was tell him. What began to anger him was the pitiful look on her face as she neglected to answer. He remembered shouting at her with every second she was silent, until she was crying at and he honestly didn't care. He broke and she broke and that was it.

Sesshomaru was away on a trip and the only other person Inuyasha had around to confide in was his Uncle. This was one of the brief times he wasn't surrounded by demons. As soon as Naraku asked his nephew how his day want, emotion flowed out of Inuyasha like a roaring river; anger, betrayal, hurt...every thought poured out to his Uncle until he had nothing left but angry unshed tears building on from weeks and weeks of isolation without his Kikyo.

The next morning she was dead. Harsh and to the point but that's how he felt when he heard it on the news: A schoolgirl identified to be named Kikyo Miko has been found dead on the city shore line on her way to school…

Kagome's words had brought back that whirlwind of feelings but this time they included the scary thought when she identified her Uncle being involved. It calmed him to know that maybe she was just really upset. He knew Kikyo's death looked like a demon did it, but family was sacred, and his Uncle had no right to meddle. His Uncle had assured him that he had nothing to do with it.

Taking a deep breath he tried to clear his head, but Kagome's face was called to his memory. She wasn't completely identical to Kikyo, if anything it looked like she'd tried her hardest not too look like her cousin.

On top of that, she was edgier than Kikyo was, in personality. Whereas Kikyo was calm, collected and kind, Kagome was brash and wasn't afraid to speak out about what bothered her; She wasn't calm about things, and it was fairly interesting to him. It's not that Kikyo didn't have a fierce side, he knew about it all too well actually, but Kagome showed it off way more in everything she did, from what she wore to how she walked, and that motorcycle…

He would definitely be talking to her again.


Sesshomaru was off the next day, so Inuyasha didn't have to wait for him before he went into school. He started the Camaro and drove onto the main road. Quarter of the way to school he saw her motorcycle. She was quite capable of controlling the vehicle, which he hadn't doubted at all but it brought a smile to his face to see her on it, once again as brazen as ever.

As she parked in her spot, he parked in his and got out of the car, all the time watching her sit there and check her phone. When she got off her bike he noticed her dark clothes in contrast to her bright blue otaku backpack, and he chuckled to himself again. So there were elements of soft Kagome...

He wouldn't see her again until algebra where she was once again struggling...and her rescuer Hojo wasn't in class. The teacher wasn't in class either, he'd simply set some work for the class to do while he was away, so there was no one to stop Inuyasha from speaking to Kagome. They wouldn't dare stop him, but they would definitely whisper about it, as he heard them doing while he moved closer to her desk.

"It's easier if you try this method." he spoke softly, and started writing on her notebook. She watched with desperate eyes as he mapped out how to find 'x'. "This should help you out with at least this sort of problem, and if you ever need any more help, I could always tutor you." A silver strand of his hair fell into his eyes as he spoke; he'd decided to put it into a bun today but it wasn't the best, so strands were flying all over the place, and he could see her looking at them.

It was a while before she replied, "I was going to ask Hojo to tutor me."

"Well, as you can see," he motioned to the empty desk on her right, "Hojo isn't here."

"Why are you even offering? You know I'm going to say no."

"Because I'm trying to show you that we're not on bad terms, even after yesterday."

She huffed in outrage, "What makes you think that?!"

"I talked to my Uncle ok, and he denied-"

"Yeah, your Uncle and the only guardian you have is definitely going to admit too-" she noticed the class staring at them and lowered her crescendoing voice back down to a whisper. "murdering your girlfriend." She turned away from him and made an effort to get back to her work. "Never trust a demon."


Through his best efforts he kept trying to talk to her, show many courtesies but she always ignored him. She was still so new that she had nowhere to sit at lunch and he was about to offer a place for her to go, despite feeling her about to refuse, when someone cut in.

"Like she would need your pity seat, Inuyasha. This hot little thing can sit with me." The deep voice belonged to Kōga and without any indication from Kagome, he wrapped his arms around her. "She sat with us yesterday."

"What are you doing, Kōga?" Inuyasha didn't hear the growl in his voice but Kagome did, and that seemed to push her in the wrong direction, towards the wolf demon.

"He showed me around yesterday and was kind enough to introduce me to his friends." She made no sign of wanting to escape his arm. "We started talking about motors and he let me sit with them at lunch. In fact, he even offered to let me come to his house so I could see his dad's Harley Davidson collection, but that's none of your concern is it, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha was lost for words as she didn't wait for his reply, turned around and lead Kōga by the hand into the cafeteria. Something in him dreaded what might happen if he let her go alone to the creeps house. The wolf was notorious for misleading girls as school, but Kagome didn't know that and as stubborn as she was being he would have to follow her, not stalk just...be at a safe distance to hear if she screamed for help.

He watched the two sit in the cafeteria and brooded as they joked and laughed with each other. He knew Kagome was letting the guy get the wrong idea, allowing him to wrap his arm around her and hold her close to him. He didn't let go even after they left to go back to class.


After school ended he saw them from his Camaro, talking. It seemed as if they'd decided to take Kōga's car to his house, and leave her bike at school, as he had to follow his fast and insane driving through the city.

Reaching Kōga's neighborhood, Inuyasha forced himself to stop driving. He couldn't be seen by them so he couldn't very well drive straught up to the wolf's house, and also he couldn't be seen by anyone else in the neighbourhood either. Kōga's father was part of a gang lower down from Naraku's. Not liking their status at the bottom they often had altercations with his Uncle's demons. To lessen the chance of trouble, Inuyasha decided to wait behind a couple of trees. He knew Kagome was capable of taking care of herself, but it was getting dark and she had no way home. He felt obligated to stay and look out for her...so he did.


Kagome exited Kōga's car looking up at the big house that faced her. It wasn't a palace but it was bigger than her meagre place.

"My dad's not rich or anything." Kōga said, taking her hand and leading her to the front door.

"I bet he isn't." she replied sarcastically.

"Hahaha, the motorcycles are this way." he led her outside to what looked like an enormous shed and as he opened the huge doors, Kagome felt like she'd died and gone to motorcycle heaven.

There were so many models that Kagome could hardly hold in her breath, as she talked about one after the other, and there seemed to be no end.

To his credit, Kōga watched and listened, not as interested as her but still curious at her abundance of knowledge. If he was completely honest with himself, he had merely guessed she was a motorcycle enthusiast and had used his knowledge to strike up a good conversation with her. Now though, in his house, watching her talk about engines and the like, he was finding it hard not to be turned on by it all.

"...the amount of money he, your dad I mean, must have..." she drifted off, finally taking a breath. He took that opportunity to pull her away from the Harley's to lean with him on the back wall. Kagome smiled awkwardly at first wondering what was happening, and where he was taking her.

"You know a lot about engines, and how they run don't you?" he whispered into her ear, pulling her close and rubbing his hands down her back.

Immediately she pushed him fiercely away, "What the hell are you doing?"

He gave her a languid look in response, "You think strutting around my garage and bending you're sexy ass over a couple of bikes wasn't provocative in any way?" He grabbed her back and again tried to feel her up, but she kneed him in the crotch, before turning and attempting to leave.

He snarled, annoyed, "You really should have found out more about me before you agreed to come to my house." and then he lept for her, using his demon strength now to latch his hands around her waist. They landed on the shed floor which bruised her side.

"Let me GO!"

The door crashed open and as quick as Kōga had jumped onto her, he was taken off by a force she couldn't see.

"You dare fucking touch her?" the voice said, dark and murderous as the force struck at Kōga in any way it could. Kagome got up slowly holding her hurt arm from her fall and tried to make out in the light who it was. Silver hair glowed in the light and she seriously could not believe it.

"Inuyasha?!" she shouted.

"What are you doing here, mongrel?" Kōga growled at him when he finally got away, a slit of red on his face. Kagome noticed long claws on Inuyasha's hands.

"Making sure you don't take advantage of another girl who knows nothing about you and who you really are." Inuyasha went for Kōga again, but a hand held him back. He reached out his claws to cut away whatever kept him from destroying the mutt of a wolf who had dared touch…

"INUYASHA!" ...Kagome. She shouted at him with such anger and annoyance, but she was also scared. Sacred of his sharp claws and harsh brutal words. The fire burning inside him that was lit by her scream extinguished as he looked into her eyes and didn't recognise himself. "Let's just leave."

"...Okay."


Kagome had no choice but to join the idiot in his car. She had no idea what he was doing there but she didn't want to ask, as he was her only ride. They drove in silence on the way back to school, but instead of turning in, Inuyasha drove past it with no intention of turning.

"What are you doing?"

"It's too late for you to be on the roads by yourself. You're bike will be safe at school, I'll pick you up tomorrow and you can bring it back home then."

"What gives you the right to make decisions for me like this this?!" she was so aggravated she deicided to ask the dog her question, "What were you even doing at Kōga's?!"

"Looking after you! You have no idea what he's like and what he's capable of. He's a dirty wolf demon that is sex crazy ok. Maybe you should learn about people before you willingly go to their houses, especially if they're guys."

"The one thing I know about you could get me killed, but I'm still in a car with you, maybe you should tell me to get out!"

"STOP IT!" his voice roared. Kagome trembled in her seat, and Inuyasha could smell her fear like a thick mist coating his nose. He became aware that his inner fire was burning again, he wasn't himself and it was scaring him as well as her.

He stopped the car at a junction and turned the engine off. He tried to calm down again, draw his claws back in and feel less...controlling and violent...he'd never felt like that before; Maybe angry and annoyed but not like this. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you." his claws retracted and he took a deep breath before looking at her. Her blue eyes were big and round. "I know you don't like me, but I was trying to be nice before. Are you so stubborn and hateful of me that you'll go straight into the arms of a rapey wolf demon?"

"It's not like you're on my most liked list." she huffed.

"I told you my Uncle had nothing to do with Kikyo's death."

"Is that a mantra that you tell yourself to make yourself feel better?" she dead-panned. He was about to disagree but she continued to speak, "Your Uncle is practically a corrupt vigilante. No matter how justified his dealings are, to seek justice and what not, murder is still illegal. He can't just kill who he wants and distribute his own judgement, especially with a firing squad of known criminals, who are also demons."

He sighed, "What do you want me to say? I was born into this...family."

"So leave it." she said it like it was the easiest thing in the world.

"Like it's so easy. Even if I did leave everything I've ever known, would you like me any more than you already do? You hate all demons remember, and I'm only half." He reminded her. It was Kagome's turn to sigh and he took that as a sign to carry on. "I've never involved myself in what my Uncle does, and neither has my brother. He's purely family and he knows that."

"Still-"

"I'm sorry about what happened to Kikyo, and I wished I could have been there to help her but she pushed me away. I have to tell myself there was nothing I could do." In fact, that was the first time he had told himself such a thing, even out loud. "All I ask is that you don't judge and don't be naive either...if today is any indication."

To his credit, she smiled a little, "I got to knee a guy in the crotch. Best day I've had since moving here."

They both shared a laugh, and that was when Inuyasha started the car again. Kagome directed him down the many roads to her address and when they entered the driveway, they could see the kitchen lights were on as the curtains weren't closed. Kagome's mother could be seen moving around, and when she noticed the car lights she looked straight at the duo.

"Better wave so she knows who you are." Kagome told Inuyasha before waving herself.

"Why?"

"She had a major panic attack when I told her I ignored you in Algebra. She was scared I'd put myself in danger or something by snubbing you."

"God...is that what everyone thinks about my family?"

"Pretty much," she shrugged. "Anyway, don't be late tomorrow. I have early classes." Then Kagome hopped out of the car, and shut the door, but her head lingered in the window. "By the way, Inuyasha…"

She paused, looking at him...His hair flowed behind him in the moonlight and she could see why her cousin was taken with this dog boy. He was very masculine, but his ears poking out from his head toned him down. That silver hair though...was so elegant and different.

She shook her head, chuckling to herself for agreeing on her cousin's tastes for once. Inuyasha looked slightly confused.

"Just thank-you for coming to help me today, alright?" she finished.

He beamed almost, his teeth shining at her, "No problem."


Kagome's mother opened the door as soon as the car backed out. She passed her mother without a second glance until her mother called up the stairs.

"Was that Inuyasha who gave you a ride home?"

"Yep."

"Oh." The pleased look on her mom's face caused Kagome to laugh.

Kagome laughed all the way to bed.


I'm in no rush with this fanfiction, and it's different from other's I've written because I'm focusing on things other than the love interest and stuff, even though that will be there, it's more realistic than what I usually do. So tell me what you think please with a REVIEW if I am worthy.
