Don't own Inuyasha… cries .o.o.

The next day the family of four was at Miroku's hut, Inuyasha wanted to know why Aoi's son was so close to his pup. Kagome knew her mate was still upset over what they found out the night before from Inu and when he was upset he let his temper flare and his tongue run away; she didn't want any of the children over hearing his choice of words so she sent them outside to play.

"Why was that boy anywhere near here!?"

"Inuyasha, the children were playing outside, I didn't know Saburo was there until the girls started shouting... his brothers and he were upsetting them so I told them to go home." Sango felt terrible about what happened, she knew how upset Inuyasha got about what he was while they were on their journey; both Miroku and she had sworn to never allow their children to treat his children like that and yet her she was unable to prevent it from happening in their own village.

"Sango it's okay, we explained to Inu what Saburo said and no matter what that he was loved," Kagome didn't want her friend to get upset over this, Inu was okay and that's all she could ask for.

"Keh, damn bratty kid... he wasn't even born in this village and yet his little group is running around acting like their better than everyone else."

"My friend calm down, if this continues we can simply take up a complaint with Hisashi, I'm certain the other villagers would take our side as they wouldn't want their village protector becoming upset."

"Keh, village politics aren't my thing Miroku, I'm more comfortable handle these situations with my hands."

"Well we can't have that Inuyasha or Hisashi may come after you... whether your the protector or not."

While the adults were inside trying to figure out how to deal with all this, and prevent Inuyasha from killing anyone, three of the group's five children were out in the front of the hut playing. Anna and Kenichi were in the back bedroom of Miroku's hut napping the afternoon away completely unaware of anything that was going on outside of their little dream world. But Inu, poor Inu, and no choice but to entertain his cousins by playing house with their dolls, with there being no boys his age in their close knit family group he still had to deal with the twins... which were only getting louder with age as their vocabulary expanded; currently the girls were fighting over the straw doll with the red string tied around its waist.

Luckily these fights don't last long and Aki usually gives in because she doesn't like confutation, she was growing to be the more submissive twin; but the quiet was pleasing to Inu's ears so he didn't really care who won. Once the girls settled down they turned their attention back to their cousin and immediately wanted to him to play with them again, since he was out numbered and not allowed to use his powers on them Inu had no choice but to give in too.

"Well what do we have here... you playing with the half-breed again huh? I thought you two would have learned by now... but I guess you only have half a brain each," the high voice of another boy, followed by laughter of a few more, interrupted the children's play time.

Inu and the twins looked over across the dirt path to another hut, out of the shadows came four boys all around the same age with the youngest boy in the middle as the ring leader known as Saburo. The boy was seven and missing his front tooth either naturally or in a scuffle with his brothers, he was one of three and the middle child at that; combine with his father's attitude towards the world those three boys weren't looking at a very bright future.

"Go away Saburo! You mean!"

"Yeah go away before we tell our momma you here!"

Takara and Aki jumped up from where they were playing to confront the boys seeing as how they didn't seem to want to listen to their warning. Behind them, though he hadn't said a word, Inu was watching carefully for any sign of danger aimed at the girls; he might not enjoy playing house with them but they were still his family and his papa told him it was his job to protect them.

"You know it's really creepy how alike your two sound... my father said your even more demon than the half-breed behind you. How can you stand being so close to that beast?" Saburo wasn't afraid of these girls, his father had told him to never be stand down to a girl no matter what, to prove his courage he quickly approached where Aki was standing trying to intimated her with his height.

Though Aki was the more soft spoken of the two she wasn't going to let this boy say means things about Inu, Inu wasn't a beast as he claimed, he was one of the most sweetest boys she ever knew; he played with them all the time and when she was upset he would try to make her smile... she would whatever she could to protect him. "Leave Saburo... or our daddy will make you."

Saburo became angry that he couldn't make this little girl cry, he couldn't understand why they would want to freely play with the half-breed; his father told him that the boy and his demon father would one day snap and kill everyone in the village... they had to chase them out before that could happen. "You can't tell me what to do, you're a girl who hangs around a half-breed; you're nothing by a whore just like that dog-whore who allowed him to be born!" In his anger, and embarrassment that his brothers and friend were there to witness this girl speak to him like that, Saburo pushed Aki away from him; the force behind his attack sent her falling to the ground scratching her hands as she tried to catch herself.

The smell of her blood and her scream caused Inu to jumped up and take action, he couldn't stop his powers from acting out on their own; and before anyone could stop him Saburo was engulfed in his black aura.

"What... what is this!? What's happening!?" Saburo finally became fearful for the first time of being there, he didn't know this demon could attack without using his claws or fangs.

"You say I a half-breed... you push Aki-chan, know you be what you hate most."

A few minutes later Inu's powers retracted and where there was once a seven year old annoying bully now sat a small brown ratty looking dog. The other boys having witnessed what just happened all began to scream in fear and took off running down the path no doubt to their own huts. The screams were so loud they drew the attention of the adults that were in the hut and boy where they surprised when they saw the their kids and a lone dog waiting outside for them.

"Momma, momma... Inu turn Saburo into a puppy!"

"Keh, well that's one way to deal with that brat."

"Inuyasha!"

Note: And there's the conclusion... Inu's new power of transformation he tested on someone else before himself. But don't worry Kagome made him change the boy back... but I doubt he will be calling Inu a half-breed again.
