Wild

The home wasn't exactly as she expected, it wasn't an apartment or a small home. She didn't know exactly what she was expecting, but it wasn't this well over moderately sized home that could've swallowed hers whole. She stood wide eyed at the gate, the fox standing behind her a ways.

The dog brushed against the fence, whining and whimpering. Kagome sighed and pushed the gate open, slowly trailing up the walkway to the large iron door. She knocked on the door, heart pounding in her ears and she was worried it would explode out of her chest.

The door opened and a tall man with an eye patch over his left eye opened the door, he had a towel on his head, but he was wearing comfortable looking clothing.

It was then that Kagome realized how late it had gotten.

"I'm so sorry to bother you, sir." She bowed to him, he raised an eyebrow. She stood up again and he studied her face. "I- I found your dog, he seems to have taken quite a liking to me over these past couple days and was only now able to see the address on the collar."

He looked down to the dog, and he sighed heavily.

"InuYasha…" He grumbled. Kagome blinked owlishly before stifling a giggle.

"Inu-? You named your dog, Dog?"

The blush that covered the man's cheeks made his strong cheek bones stand out more.

Kagome blushed when he removed the towel from his head, exposing his short and mussed up black hair.
