A/N: I disclaim ownership to all things Inuyasha related!

O.O

"It's really too bad too" she then quietly murmured, "since Goldy here won't live much longer…"

Kagomes' words resounded with the pitiful tinkering resonance of a crushed bell in his mind, its echo so sad Inuyasha's ears began to droop. The fish looked fine, he thought, healthy even! "How come?" He asked.

" Well you see," she began, pacing as though in deep thought from one end of the aquarium to the other. "Goldy here has been in the shop for a very long time and if he doesn't sell soon." She stopped suddenly and gestured roughly to some nearby cages " they just might feed him to one of those fierce kittens over there" she continued to watch the fluff balls pouncing on waving feathers before she tisked sorrowfully and continued. "So, sad, no one seems to want goldfish anymore, even though they're cheap and easy to take care of—but if you don't want him, then, I guess there is nothing we can do."

"I don't care about no stupid Goldfish" The Hanyou crossed his arms defensively at even the notion of it, nonetheless, the golden windows to his soul betrayed him as they glanced a bit pitifully at the death sentenced, lonely fish. And it seemed as though gravity had taken hold of his Hanyou ears and kept a steady pulling.

"Well that's it then, there's nothing we can do" Kagome agreed, "I'll leave you two for a moment to say your goodbyes" she politely added as she turned briskly from the scene and began to walk off. However, a soft "wait", stopped her in her tracks and she had to clamp down hard on her bottom lip in order to hide her smile of triumph from Inuyasha as she turned around.

She met two golden, somber hazed eyes, which immediately broke their contact with her to remain steadfast on the fish as he talked. "I mean, you did want me to get a pet…and since he's gonna die if we leave him, and he's cheep, I" he explained, " I guess we could—ah, should get Goldy— keh, not that I really care" he quickly added as he began to tap his claws impatiently on his crossed arms, waiting for her reply.

Kagome's face, after a long minute of it remaining stoic as she struggled to gain composer, at last lit up, making him feel like the most brilliant Hanyoi in the world. "Oh yeah Inuyasha! When you look at it that way, your right—we should get him!" she agreed.
