The man that picked Inuyasha up of the streets, roughly grabbed Inuyasha from the back of his clothing. He lifted him up out of the truck and carried him like a disobedient pup inside. Inuyasha was just laying their limp. He had no idea what was going on, and was scared of the man holding him. He started whimpering when he caught scent of another man. This one smelled older and scarier. The man slapped Inuyasha across the face to get him to stop making noises. It worked because Inuyasha stayed silent as the other man got closer.

"I thought I told you to get me a mutt. For all these men that are trying to hunt us down, I need a guard dog, to kill them and get them off the trail. Tell me why you brought back a child." The man scolded the one holding Inuyasha. He wasn't even looking at Inuyasha, he was mad at the man for not following orders.

"Sir, if I may, this child is a mutt. He has these dog ears, and claws that are coated in blood. He also has small fangs that looks like they will grow pretty strong as he grows. He looks to be half-dog or something. He could be pretty lethal when he grows up. If you were to train him, or get him to protect you, then he would be better than any old dog. Plus he will most likely live longer than a dog." The one holding the hanyou said. He shook Inuyasha to try to get a reaction out of him. Instead he got the opposite kind of reaction than what he wanted.

Inuyasha started whimpering.

"Kleetan this is a frightened child. What good will a scared little kid do me, even if he has lethal attributes."

Kleetan, the man holding Inuyasha, tried again to get a better reaction out of the pup. He put his hands around his neck and squeezed hard. Out of reflex Inuyasha started growling and swiped his claws at Kleetan. He kept missing because of his angle. Inuyasha started thrashing around to try to get out of KLeetan's grip.

"As you see, it only takes persuasion to get a reaction out of him. When he wants to fight, he can be pretty lethal." Kleetan tried.

"I see, maybe I can find a use for him." The boss said. He got closer to the pup to observe him. As he got closer Inuyasha stopped what he was doing and curled in on himself as best as he could and started whimpering. "Not much of a fighter" he chuckled "but he will be. Take him in the back. Put him in the cage that was for the mutt you were supposed to get."

"Yes sir."

Kleetan took Inuyasha to the backroom, where on the floor was a set of crisscrossing bars. Inuyasha was confused. Kleetan grabbed the bars and pulled them to the side. The floor opened up to reveal a hidden room underneath. He shoved Inuyasha down their. Their were a few steps leading down into the room so Inuyasha rolled down them, and hit his head so hard he fell unconscious.

"The boss has his work cut out for him." Kleetan said before he put the floor bars back into place then placed a lock on it.

The next day Inuyasha woke up to his side hurting, and a splitting headache. He woke up terrified. He had no idea where he was. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep in Jeff's lap. Then all his memories came flooding back to him.

He took a look around where he was. There wasn't much in his room. The only thing he saw was the steps. Nothing else was down there. No furniture, no bed, or anything. He climbed up the stair, till he reached the bars that were his roof. He looked out and noticed the man Kleetan was talking to sitting at a desk writing things on paper.

Inuyasha watched him for a few seconds until Kleetan came into the office area, where the boss was.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Kleetan asked.

"Get the mutt some food. He seems to have awaked a few minutes ago."

"Sir, may I ask what I am to feed him?"

"Just find something in the fridge. I can't have him starve if I am going to use him."

"Yes sir." Kleetan said, and then he exited the room.

The boss got up out of his chair and walked over to the part of the floor that served as Inuyasha's roof. Inuyasha backed away from the stairs and hid in one of the corners of his room.

"Hiding won't do you any good mutt. I am not going to hurt you. You can come out." The boss said looking straight at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha, who may not have knew what the words the boss said meant, but he could tell by the tone of voice that he wasn't going to be mean. His voice was sort of soft instead of loud and mean. Inuyasha looked up at the man with a confused expression.

"Ah, confused are you. You see I need you. I need you to take care of a few people for me, but you are just a child. A weak child. You need to learn how to fight. Fight for me." The boss said as he walked across Inuyasha's roof.

Inuyasha watched the bottoms of the bosses shoes walk across. He was getting kind of mad that the guy seemed to be talking to him, but he couldn't understand any of the words. At least at Jeff's he had Sammy to sort of translate. Inuyasha started barking to get the man's attention. To show he couldn't understand.

The boss looked down at the pup. He studied over the boy, watching him. Inuyasha studied back, and then he let loose a bark.

"You-you have no idea what I am saying do you. Hm interesting." The boss said as he tapped his finger to his chin.

Kleetan came back with food for the pup. He walked up to the door of the cage. The boss got off of the floor that would move to open the cage. Kleetan walked down the steps and placed the food on the floor. Then Kleetan walked up the steps and closed the door. The boss returned to his spot to observe the child eat.

"Sir?" Kleetan asked.

"This mutt you have given me has no knowledge of the human language it would seem." The boss said, never taking his eyes off of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha walked up to the food and sniffed it cautiously. He didn't smell anything other than the food, so he used his hands to dig into the food. The fork forgotten that sat by the bowl the food was in.

"He seems to be more animal, than human." The boss said. "I think I have the perfect idea of what to do with him, but first I am going to need to train him to fight.'

"Sir, what are you thinking? I thought you needed him to get those men off your back about not paying your debt."

"Yes he will also do that, but think about it. He is most likely stronger than the average child his age. As he grows and as I teach him, he will grow stronger in strength. I can fight him, and make money off it."

Inuyasha looked up at the two men confused, after he was done eating.

"Fight him, sir? I am sorry but I don't understand." Kleetan confessed.

"The boy is but a dog. He is probably some kind of mutation. He looks to have the genes of a dog and that of a human. If we could convince, and I know I can, the people who run the dog fights, we could fight him. When he wins we profit off of him."

"Oh I see. We just have to get this little brat to fight and win."

"Exactly."

A week later

"Alright Kleetan, put him in the truck." The boss said.

Kleetan came out holding Inuyasha by the back of his shirt. Inuyasha was struggling with Kleetan. He wanted down so he was jerking around. He was growling and barking things the human's couldn't understand.

Over the course of his time being with Kleetan and his boss, they had nearly starved him, only feeding him small amounts twice a day. Even if he wasn't done with his food by the time Kleetan came to retrieve it, he would just take it away leaving Inuyasha hungry.

They left him in his room all day everyday. The only time he was allowed out was when Kleetan would come get him to try to get him to fight another dog they had brought in.

They dog was a scrawny little half-dead mutt. He was shaking and whimpering and looked very tired an weak. The dog has pleaded for Inuyasha to save him, and not to kill him. Inuyasha had asked why he thought he was going to kill him. The dog had said that, that was why he was here. The human was trying to get Inuyasha to kill the dog. Inuyasha's eyes went wide then he scooped up the dog in his arms. The dog started whining when Kleetan came closer to Inuyasha.

When Kleetan was close enough he kept yelling at Inuyasha to kill him, but since Inuyasha didn't understand he himself started whining and whimpering. Inuyasha clutched the dog close to him then tried running to an exit. Kleetan caught up to him and snatched the dog away from Inuyasha. He then grabbed one of Inuyasha's hands and used the claws at the end of the boy's finger and killed the dog in front of Inuyasha's eyes. Inuyasha had tried to jerk his hand out of Kleetan hold but he wasn't strong enough. Inuyasha had a look of horror on his face. His eyes wide, he couldn't even move. When Kleetan released his hand Inuyasha was breathing hard, panting, he was looking at the blood on his claws in horror. Kleetan noticed how scared the pup was so he grabbed him by the scruff of his clothes, and then he took him back to his room, and threw him down the steps.

He wasn't allowed out of his room after that. Inuyasha also wouldn't go anywhere near Kleetan. When Kleetan brought down his food he would hide anywhere he could. Sometimes he would just stuff himself in a corner and try to become one with the walls, or at other times he would hide underneath the small blanket they had given him. When Kleetan would close his door signaling he had left, Inuyasha would wait a few seconds, then he would scarf down as much food as he could before he heard footsteps again. Those footsteps always meant Kleetan was coming back. Inuyasha would always go hide again, even though he knew he could eat more, and he was very hungry, he was just more scared of Kleetan.

Now when the boss had ordered Kleetan to get the pup and put him in the truck Inuyasha had hid underneath the blanket and also got into a corner. He had heard Kleetan's footsteps and was completely terrified. Kleetan had unlocked the cage door above Inuyasha's head, and then walked down the steps. He had walked closer and closer to Inuyasha. Inuyasha was whimpering and tried to get even closer to the wall hoping Kleetan would just go away. Then with his eyes squeezed as tightly as he could and his breath hitched, and himself so stuffed in the corner his body was beginning to hurt, he heard Kleetan's footsteps stop. He waited 2 seconds, and then he opened his eyes. He snatched them closed again as he saw Kleetan's hand reaching for him. Next thing he knew he was being carried by the back of his shirt.

He was limp in Kleetan's hands until he noticed the truck they were getting close to, and the boss. The boss had never done anything to him but he just smelled wrong. Sure anytime he talked to him it was always in a softer tone but he still trusted his nose and instincts more than this man. He didn't want to have anything to do with him or Kleetan. He just wanted to be left alone. He then started struggling to be put down, and started growling and barking.

Kleetan then opened a door, the same one he had opened when he had first captured Inuyasha, and then he shoved Inuyasha into the same cell he had been in before. Kleetan then slammed the door shut with Inuyasha inside. Kleetan walked to the passenger's side of the truck and opened the door for the boss. When the boss was in the truck he closer the door. He then walked to the driver's side door and got in himself. He then drove off to the dog fights.

"You remembered to bring a leash didn't you Kleetan." The boss asked as they were driving along.

"Yes sir. It is in with the mutt. When I grab him, then I will also grab the leash and put it on him." Kleetan said to the boss.

With Inuyasha

Inuyasha had decided he would lay himself down in one of the corners. He already knew he couldn't break out. If he wanted to escape he would have to wait until someone opened the door from the outside. As the time was going by slowly Inuyasha decided to think about what he was going through now. He had a feeling he was not going to like what was about to happen when they arrived where they were going.

I wish mama was still here. I wish I could just cuddle up in her arms and fall asleep, like I used to. I even wish Sesshomaru was still here. Then I would at least understand somebody. I wish Father hadn't of died and I wish I wasn't so different. The hanyou sat up ad looked at his claws. He ran his tongue over his fangs and finally he reached up and grabbed both his ears He then started to pull on them until he had hurt himself. The things that made him so different. His nails were always shaper than any other human he had come across, and his ears were only like Sammy's. But unlike Sammy he didn't have a tail, or fur all over his body. He only had Sammy's ears and claws, and fangs. Tears started to fall from his eyes. He knew he was different and for that people hated him. If I wasn't different then none of this would have happened. Mama would have been okay, Father wouldn't have had to work so hard, and maybe Sesshomaru would have loved me.

I miss Jeff too. I miss Jeff and Sammy and even Jeff's friend. I just wanna have a home. I wanna go home. With that he drifted off the sleep. Thinking about how nice it would be to have a home and a family that loved him.

After what seemed only a few minutes Inuyasha felt them truck jerk and himself be thrown across his cell. He crashed right into the door of his cell and something red fell on top of him. When he got his bearings straight he grabbed the long red thing in his hands. He pulled it from his head and examined it. He didn't even have two minute time to examin it because right after he pulled it from his head the door to his cell opened to reveal Kleetan. Inuyasha pushed himself into the back of the cell as far as he could.

Kleetan grabbed the red leash from Inuyasha. He then grabbed a choke chain from the wall the red leash had fallen off of. He slipped the choke chain over Inuyasha's head then clipped the end of one of the rings to the red leash. The choke chain was small enough that Inuyasha couldn't slip out of it. Then Kleetan grabbed Inuyasha and threw him on the floor. (A/N: you know Kleetan really does like to throw Inuyasha a lot).

Inuyasha who was wide eyed and almost shaking stayed on the ground in the place he had landed in. Kleetan said 'Come' them he pulled on the leash slightly. Inuyasha didn't anything. Kleetan said 'Come' again then he pulled on the leash harder, making Inuyasha jerk forward. The leash had tightened on Inuyasha's neck and had started to choke him as Kleetan kept walking. Inuyasha tried running to catch up with Kleetan before the chain had a chance to choke him again. Though as much distance as the leas would allow between himself and Kleetan. He was still very scared of him, or more of what he would make him do.
