Punishment

I dedicate this story to my dog too.

Inuyasha marched into the woods angrily. He wasn't paying attention to anything; not his surroundings, his senses, or his instincts. He hated himself more then he hated Kagome. He came in sudden contact with a smaller object.

"Why do you make her sad?"

"What?" Inuyasha asked the old lady. He could sense she was an old miko.

"You make her angry and she goes home." The old lady stated angrily.

"What do you care?"

"It bothers me to hear you two argue about nothing when it's true you two love each other!"

"Feh," Inuyasha growled.

"The well will be sealed." The old miko stated quietly but in a low, dangerous tone.

Inuyasha squinted his eyes. "What?"

"You've heart her long enough, young man. You may no longer see her."

Inuyasha's eyes grew. He took off to the well, hoping it'd be open long enough for him to go get her and bring her back.

"Well," The old miko sighed. "I was going to finish my spell but he left before I could explain the rest of it. The well will not be opened again until she wants to see him again. When true love triumphs. But because he was so rude, if he gets through, I'll make him a dog. He also can not turn back till she wishes to see him."

The miko turned around and returned to her little cottage.

Inuyasha raced toward the well. He kept praying quietly. He jumped into it and felt himself pass through time. It worked! When he got to Kagome's time, he found the well sealed. But he felt weird. What was wrong? He looked down at his feet…paws…PAWS! And a snout! He looked behind him…tail! No…he was a dog. He couldn't talk! How was he suppose to say sorry?

He attempted to jump out of the well. He failed. It took him forever just to get out of the well.

This is so damn stupid, Inuyasha thought to himself.

He stopped thinking about his own problems when he heard sobbing.

Kagome… Where could she be… He wondered around before realizing the one place she always was. Geeze, Inuyasha, she's in her room!

Inuyasha ran to the door. Damn, I can't open these stupid doors!

"Oh!" A young boy's voice screamed. "Mom! There's a puppy at the door!"

Souta…He'll get me in! Inuyasha turned to Souta and tried to look friendly.

"You're so pretty." Souta smiled as he pet him.

The door opened and Ms. H. came out. "Oh my! He looks famished!"

Inuyasha licked Ms. H.'s hand and wagged his tail.

"Well," Ms. H. scratched her chin in thought. "I guess we can keep him. But you have to put fliers around and if no one claims him, we'll keep him. Maybe the gods sent him to us for a reason."

Inuyasha wagged his tail as he was let inside. Before he was able to go up to Kaogme's room though, he was reintroduced to everyone. Then, Ms. H. insisted that he ate. He didn't care, he wanted to see Kagome. Wait, Inuyasha thought suddenly. What is going to help her realize it's me? He looked around. My necklace! That damn thing is useful!

Something pulled him out of thought though. A sent…sweet sent…Kagome! He ran to the stairs. Kagome was coming down, wiping her tears away.

"Where did you come from?" Kagome smiled a little bit and patted his head.

"I found him," Souta boasted. "We get to keep him."

"Only if someone doesn't claim him," Ms. H. corrected.

Souta nodded happily and scratched behind his ears.

"Oh my gosh!" Kagome began crying again. Inuyasha stopped wagging his tail. "He looks just like Inuyasha!"

Ms. H. led her daughter up the stairs and back into her room, soothing her all the way.

I wish I could do that, Inuyasha sighed to himself. He wanted so much to go up into her room and wrap his used-to-be-there-arms around her and tell her everything was going to be alright. But…he couldn't. He followed Souta toward the TV and watched as Buyo came over to him. Buyo knew it was Inuyasha. What Buyo couldn't figure out was why Inuyasha wasn't playing with him. Inuyasha growled lowly and Buyo left. Souta was too busy laughing at his cartoons to hear the warning growl. With that, Inuyasha closed his sad eyes and drifted into a unwanted sleep.

There you all go! I've been watching my dog grow old altely and it's breaking my heart. What you hear in the story is what my dog does. Expecially what your read in the next two chapters.
