A/N: AHA! I'VE FINALLY BEGUN WRITING MAN'S BEST FRIEND AGAIN! XD And now that Seadogs (PART 1 BABY) is over, ITS DOG TIEMZ. XD Sorry, ate too much Nutella, and now I'm hyper.

DISCLAIMER:

ONE, I DON'T OWN INUYASHA. Duh.

If you're going to review, atleast review with a little purpose and not this,

"…"

I got that. What the fuck is that. Is that supposed to be a review? No. I understand criticism you know? I get that for my art. But I write Fanfiction for fun, as a hobby, and to bring entertainment/fanfics to people who want to read them. And not all fanfic writers are stupid geeks, you know? Hell, I'm a nerd. THE ASIAN NERDDD…..with style. Why do I have style? Because nerds with style are those who, YES, have a social life, and live life doing what we enjoy. I enjoy writing fanfics. So I will write fanfics. Ever heard of the legal right, "In the pursuit of happiness?" as long as it ain't illegal, I guess I have the right to do that.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND – CHAPTER 7

Psycho!

Kagome's eye twitched, not one word escaped her mouth.

InuYasha waved a hand in front of her. "Hello?"

And suddenly, the girl threw her head back and burst into laughter, clutching her sides.

"Hahahaha!" she laughed and laughed. "Yeah right! You're my dog! Hahahahaha!"

InuYasha narrowed his eyes at her. "I'm serious."

Kagome looked at him skeptically, still giggling. "Yeah, uh-huh, Mr. Psycho-path."

The hanyou raised an eyebrow. "If I wasn't your dog, then why do I have dog ears?" he asked, pointing to the soft appendages on his head with a clawed hand.

"Because they're probably fake. Haha." She replied coldy. "What else have you to say? You've got NOTHING. And if you do, please entertain me!" The young woman raved.

InuYasha sighed. "I didn't want to have to do this but…" he began.

"Remember that time when you were showering, and I accidentally went in your bathroom, and you went all, 'Oh! Hi there koinu! It's kay! You're only a dog anyways!' ?"

Kagome's eyes widened and in the next second, she had fainted and was starting to fall towards him. Eyes in shock as he watched her fall, the hanyou shot out his hands to catch the falling girl.

"Oh shit…" InuYasha cursed. "I didn't think she'd faint…" he sweat dropped, laughing nervously.

"Well well well…." Buyo purred. "She really fell for ya? Huh, Yasha? Hahahaha…" his laugh was watered down when the hanyou sent him a heated glare. "I'll shut up now."

He picked her up bridal style and carried Kagomet o her room, laying her on the bed and tucking her under the covers.

I'm going soft, I'm going soft, I'm going soft…

OOoOoOoOo

Kagome awoke to the faint sound of the television on.

Oh…it was just a dream… she felt relieved. Smiling, she combed her hair and skipped towards the living room, however her skipping stopped when she saw the same silver-haired man; his eyes were glued to the T.V.

"Doctor!"she heard a nurse on the screen cry. "His heart won't make it!"

The dramatic music was brought to its climax, a loud "Dun dunnnn" sound.

"Maybelle, don't you worry. He may not make it…but our love will…" and the doctor leaned into the nurse for a kiss, the show's credits coming on screen.

Oh great…he's been exposed to the media. She sweatdropped.

"Hmm…?" one of his ears swiveled towards her. "You're awake."

"And you're a crazy-fuck." Kagome pointed a finger at him.

The half-demon only rolled his eyes and grabbed her wrist, sitting them both on the couch.

"Look at me in the eyes and tell me I'm not your dog." He ordered lightly.

The young woman's eyes narrowed. "I'm for sure your not my dog." The hanyou shook his head at her response.

Kagome's eyes wandered to the top of his head, spying the two cute ears.

Hmm…

Absentmindedly, her hands reached out to feel them her smooth fingertips scratching at the pink inside. She played with the little white tufts of fur on the sides and lightly traced each triangle.

Suddenly, Kagome felt a weight on her chest. Because of her little ministrations on the ears, the man who had claimed to be her dog had leaned into her chest, purring…if dogs could purr, that is.

The brown-eyed girl blushed, and moved a way with a little squeak.

"Uh….sorry about that…." InuYasha mumbled, trying to hide his read face with his bangs. For God's sake, he had his face in her chest! How wrong and misleading was that?!

"I-it's fine…" Kagome replied quickly.

The two shared nervous laughs. Kagome snuck a peek at his eyes and gasped inwardly.

They're so…pretty! She silently smiled. The color was not common, and these were a very vibrant color, which seemed to draw her in. And then she realized…her dog had the same eyes. Her dog loved it when she petted his ears. And her dog and this man…looked very similar.

"InuYasha?"

"Eh?" When he lifted his head, her face was close to his, her coffee orbs staring into his sun kissed ones.

"You-…you really are my dog…" she mumbled.

"Oh," he scoffed. "Now you believe me."

"How are you like…?" She asked.

"Promise you won't faint again?" he questioned.

"I promise." Kagome giggled.

The hanyou explained everything. He told about how he was royalty and that Kikyo had turned him into a dog. How her cat could talk, and how he was originally an inu-hanyou.

"And the only way to lift the curse was to learn how to love, and I guess since you broke the collar, I'm free."

"So I've been taking care of a half-demon this whole time? I thought all of that youkai and miko stuff was mumbo-jumbo."

"You don't see them today," InuYasha explained. "They're in hiding, living alongside humans after this Great War between them."

"Oh, okay then…well…" Kagome scratched the back of her head. "Now that the curse is gone, what will you do now?"

InuYasha paused. He hadn't really thought of that. "I…I don't know…" he confessed sheepishly.

"Well, you can stay at my apartment until you decide on something." Kagome smiled at him.

InuYasha's ears perked up. He was not used to such hospitality. "Uh…wow thanks."

OOoOoOo

That night, as Kagome and Buyo slept, InuYasha stayed up on the couch pondering what to do next.

My life was over when she turned me into a dog…Now that I'm back…I don't know what to do next. He said to himself. Staying with Kagome for too long could turn him into a burden.

Sighing, he went to the fridge to get a bottle of water, when suddenly he felt a very familiar sharp pain. His vision became blurry, and the next thing, he was on the floor unconscious.

Kagome's eyes shot open the minute she heard a thud. Rushing outside, she gasped. InuYasha was not on the couch. In the corner of the kitchen she saw a black, heap on the floor.

"Woah!" she cried, kneeling at the hanyou's fallen figure. It was very dark and she couldn't really see much, but when she reached out a hand to grab him, all she felt was fur.

Her eyes tried their best to see in the dark. "Is he…a dog again?"

Indeed, InuYasha had changed back into a dog. She studied the shape of the figure, concluding this.

"I thought the curse was gone!" Kagome yelled, confused.

"Actually," and echoic voice from behind her said. Kagome's head whipped to behind her. There on her couch sat a woman who looked a lot like herself. She was clad in a golden dress, her knees crossed, and examining her fingernails.

"His curse is only completely off if he manages to fall in love, or learn to love. Your pick." She shrugged, waving a hand.

"Who are you?"

"I am Kikyo, the one who bestowed that lovely curse on dog-boy here." The woman replied.

"That was cruel of you!" Kagome told her, hands on hips.

Kikyo raised an eyebrow, eyes narrowed. "Me? The cruel one? Have you any idea how InuYasha here was like before I taught him this very important lesson?"

Kagome kept silent.

"I didn't think so. You see, InuYasha was a….oh what the hell, he was a bastard. I've got proof."

Kagome still said nothing, but her eyes showed her curiosity, which was enough for the enchantress.

"Ahem," Kikyo cleared her throat and began to move her hand in a circular motion, creating an image of some sort. In the image it showed basically, a whole montage of the hanyou prince's bad behavior. Kagome's mouth fell more and more with each picture.

"Do you see now, why he has to be put under this curse?" the enchantress asked.

Kagome only grunted lightly.

"Good," Kikyo said. "In order for that curse to be fully off, he must learn to fall in love, unconditionally, and the person he falls in love with must love him back."

Standing up, Kikyo began to disappaear. "Good luck. Oh and since that collar's off, he'll be hanyou during the day, and dog at night."

And the enchantress was gone. Kagome sat there on the carpeted floor, and pondering about the last five seconds.

"I'm either going insane," she concluded. "Or this is really happening."

"Its happening alright!" Buyo snickered behind her.

"Gah!" she jumped, causing her knee to hit the coffee table, which had a cup of water on it, the hit causing the water to fall and drop on the unconscious dog's face. Instantly, the akita started barking.

"The Martians have attacked!" He barked.

Buyo grinned, "You're the Martian here."

InuYasha sent him a thundering glare. "What's going on?" he asked, eyes shifting.

Kagome looked down on him. "You mean you don't notice?"

"Notice what?"

"Dumb dog," the fat cat rolled his eyes.

"Dog…?" InuYasha paused and checked everything. He looked up to Kagome to – looked up?! Kagome was two inches shorter than him!

"I'm a dog!" he wailed. "I can talk! Oh thank God I can talk!" he sighed a breath of relief.

"Oh, so now is when you notice it." The cat purred.

"Why…? I thought…." InuYasha fumbled.

"Kikyo visited," Kagome interrupted. "She said the curse wasn't off until you find true, and unconditional love, and the other loved you back."

The akita inu's ears flattened against his skill in sadness. His tail, once held high in a fluffy curl, fell into a droop on his back. She could hear him whimper silently.

"I'm sorry." She told him.

"Nah, it's fine…" the hanyou turned his head to the side. "I was just really…hopeful you know?"

Suddenly, Kagome remembered something. "Oh! Kikyo did tell me something else!"

Instantly, InuYasha cocked his head to her. "What? What?!"

"During the day, you're your half-demon self, but at night you go back into a dog." She told him.

The inuhanyou raised a non-existent eyebrow at her. "What am I, some kind of werewolf?! Those never even existed! Wolf demons did!"

"Oh…well that's a heartbreaker to werewolf lovers," she sweatdropped.

The akita inu sighed and trotted to his doggy bed, lying down, is head between his paws.

"Let's face it. My limit will be up before this curse is off…one year I tell you!" he howled dramatically.

The black haired woman put a finger to her temples, and tapped her finger against it. "Okay I got it!" she piped.

InuYasha only swiveled a furry white ear towards her.

"Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi!" she smiled giddily. "Those three have been trying to set me up on dates since day one! Boy after boy, after boy…" Kagome drawled.

For some reason, InuYasha felt a short sting of jealousy when he heard she had dates with other guys.

"If they got me a few guys, I'm sure they can get you a few girls!" Kagome looked excited enough to explode.

"Woah there, calm down Little Miss Sunshine," InuYasha laughed. "Let's remember the ears here."

"Oh please, we'll just explain everything to the girl in the end, and your dog ears will be under a cap. Hopefully…she won't freak out like I did. Ahehe…." She explained, scratching the back of her head.

"I don't know…"

Kagome closed her eyes, and when she opened them, her chocolate brown eyes shined. "Pweese?" she batted her black, sooty lashes.

InuYasha smiled at her cute heavier, and sighed. "Okay, fine…"

"Yes!" Kagome squealed.

InuYasha watched as she picked up her cat, squeezing the white and brown blob in excitement. She's not bad….not bad.
