Hogwarts

Chapter three-

I'm different

Inuyasha and Kagome where in the forest when suddenly Kagome asked something that threw Inuyasha totally off guard. "How far did you read in the journal?"

Inuyasha was silent for a moment, trying to remember the date of the last entry he had read. "October 15th." He said quietly.

Kagome silence in contemplation as she tried to remember what was in that entry. Apparently she remembered because she squirmed lightly and stood up.

"I think we should go back." Kagome whispered.

Inuyasha quickly stood, the pup rolling to the ground with an unheeded yip. "Hey, sorry, but you should have watched where you dropped it." Okay, that was stupid, and he knew that.

Kagome turned on him. "You could have had the decency to give the thing back you know. And now you know about my life."

"Wrong I only know about a section of your life." Inuyasha denied.

Kagome veered. "The section I don't want any one else to know! You have to promise to keep it secret!" she was sounding rather desperate by now.

"What good would that do? I gave the journal over to Hagrid, and he's going to give it to a Dumbledore most likely." Inuyasha challenged.

Kagome glared at him. "They already know, they are trying to protect it from the other students!"

She then turned and huffed back down the trail. Inuyasha followed. "Fine then, I will keep your secret!" he finished.

"You better!" came the tart reply.

When they left the forest they had once again picked up an argument.

"This is all you fault you know." Kagome was telling Inuyasha.

Inuyasha in turn replied back. "Your the one that ran into me!"

"Am not."

"Am too!"

"Am not."

"Am too, am too, am too." Inuyasha chanted, as he was suddenly aware that they had come around the building and saw that the whole of the two houses was watching them, amused by their argument.

But suddenly the amusement disappeared as Ron stood suddenly in the back and hollered. "Watch out!" Everyone's eyes followed Ron's shaky finger to the Worg cub that came tumbling out from the foliage.

"Worg!" All the students cried, standing from their semi-circle and panicky backing away.

Kagome was lost for words as she tried to calm everyone down. The Worg cub growled as all the screaming hurt it's ears.

Inuyasha growled as he turned around and scooped up the Worg. The thing relaxed in his clutches and sagged against his chest. The crowd was too shocked for words.

Hagrid had come over by now, confusion dancing in his eyes.

"A Worg!" He bellowed happily as he tried to lean over to take a look.

The Worg growled and snapped at Hagrid's fat fingers. He scorned the pup but was smiling all the same. He turned back to his frightened students.

"Do you see this? Inu and Kagome have picked their year project." He was obviously very excited.  "I want everyone else to get into the forest and find theirs."

Slowly, and wearily the students entered the outer edge of the forest. Hagrid entered his hut and within seconds was back out by a thin book that read 'Worgs and Wolf's- the difference' he handed it to Inuyasha, as the Worg chased his tail on his shoulder.

Then Hagrid chased after his students, who were already rummaging through the bushes for unsuspecting creatures.

Inuyasha sat down with the Worg and Kagome sat in front. "May I see him?" she asked.

Inuyasha shrugged, plucked the beast from his shoulder and handed it to her. The Worg was slightly disappointed and to show it, nipped Kagome's hand rather hard and bounced back to Inuyasha's lap.

Kagome nursed her damaged hand and looked at the Worg with a slightly hurt look. "Why did he do that?"

Inuyasha shrugged, "probably doesn't like you." he said off-handily.

Kagome glared at him. "Then why would he like a jerk like you?" she protested.

Inuyasha gulped and tried to hide the shiver that was running down his back. "Because I'm different." He said simply, and in such a tone that Kagome didn't dare challenge him.

Instead she tried to coax the pup from Inuyasha's lap by cooing and worming her finger. The Worg just growled and snuggled deeper.

Inuyasha sighed as he saw the pup nip at her finger and draw a prick of blood. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, handing it to Kagome, then from the other pocket pulled out a bag of cracker snakes.

The Worg smelled the crackers and started hopping and making for the bag.

Kagome thanked Inuyasha and wiped her finger clean. She then caught the cracker bag that he threw to her. Kagome looked at it confused as the Worg eyed her suspiciously.

"Take a cracker out and place it on your palm. Feed it to him and repeat the process." Inuyasha instructed as she followed his suggestions.

The Worg was slowly coaxed from Inuyasha and into Kagome's lap where she hand fed the crackers one by one until he fell asleep.

She watched him take two deep breaths before smiling brightly. "Thank you."

Inuyasha's cheeks burned slightly and he took his eyes away from her. "Don't mention it…" he paused. "Or else."

Kagome gave him a hard look but stopped herself from starting another fight. "You should be nicer to me, specially after what you did that to me."

Inuyasha had another ping of guilt as he tried to direct the attention elsewhere.

"But…you promised to keep it a secret, so I think we can still try to be friends." She stuck out her hands, but Inuyasha did not return the favor.

Kagome put down her empty hand and picked up the book Hagrid had given them.

"Let's see, it says 'Worgs eat meat, but especially like meat rich in fat like bacon. Rarely do they eat fruits or vegetables, but occasionally like to eat dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt. To feed a young Worg mix sliced up pork with yogurt in a blender until frothy, then give immediately, make sure it is slightly warm."

Inuyasha made a disgusted looking face. "Where will we find a blender?"

Kagome turned the page and didn't look up. "There's one in my room. It also says that if a Worg is to be tamed it must be in close contact with humans for the first five months of it's childhood. A Worg usually is old enough to hunt at 8 months and by then they can stand four feet at the shoulders and are about eight feet long from snout to tail."

She put aside the book and patted the Worg's head. "Should we name him?"

Inuyasha was lying on his back now, his arms folded behind his head and staring at the clouds. "How bout Kuro?"

Kagome was silent. "You know in Japanese that means-."

"Black." Inuyasha finished.

Kagome stared at him bewildered. "Your from Japan?" she asked doubtfully.

Inuyasha shrugged, "Yeah."

"INU!"

Miroku and Sango came running out of the forest, Sango was holding a small yellow ball of fur. Miroku was grinning.

"Don't call me that!" Inuyasha protested as he sat up.

Sango gave a side glace at the Worg in Kagome's lap before sitting beside the two of them. "Is he friendly?"

"His name is Kuro." Kagome smiled, feeling slightly better then she had at the beginning of the class.

Sango didn't really know if she should trust Kagome but she couldn't help but feel slightly more comforted by that honest smile. She unfolded her arms to reveal a caramel kitten with two tails, the kitty had two bright red eyes and stripes running along its ears and feet.

"Oh! He's so cute."

Sango blushed and cuddled the kitten close. "I was wondering if you could tell me a really good name for her, you know, something in Japanese. It's such a pretty name, Kuro, and Kagome."

"Thank you." Kagome grinned broadly.

As Kagome and Sango begin to discuss what they would like to call the kitten Miroku leaned over towards Inuyasha. "What's the deal, isn't she mad at you?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "I thought she would be furious, but it seemed to have slipped her mind or something, kind of weird if you ask me."

Harry and his partner Seamus came out of the forest, wrestling what looked like a chicken, only it had a ridiculously long neck and bat like wings. Hagrid was following them closely.

One by one Miroku and Inuyasha watched the students emerge with their creatures. Hermione and Ron exited with a vibrant purple monkey, that was the size of a doll and with large blue eyes that watered when he didn't get what he want.

Hermione spotted Kagome and Sango discussing names and joined to have help in deciding the name for her (Ron's and hers she should remember) monkey. Ron submissively sat near the two other boys, the monkey nesting on top of his red head.

After what seemed like a century, the three girls came over with bright smiles on their faces. Apparently the fear of Kagome had faded from both Sango and Hermione as they spent time talking about names.

Sango laid the kitten on the grass and gave appealingly laughed. "We're going to name her Kirara."

Miroku gave her a confused expression. "What does that mean?"

"Cloud-mother." Sango stated, quite proud of her self.

Kagome shrugged. "It's better then dog demon." She took a quick glance at Inuyasha before she nearly broke out laughing. Hermione also had to stifle a giggle.

"I've decided to name mine Samayou." She said.

Ron tried to mouth the word but failed to pronounce it probably. "Malulo, what?" Ron asked.

Hermione glared at him as she pronounced it again. "M-eh-rlu-rlu, get it right." The monkey looked at her skeptically.

Miroku kept looking at her expectantly. "Well, what does it mean?"

"Oh, sorry! It means wander." Hermione smiled and patted the monkey who was currently on Ron's head.

Harry came away from his conversation with Seamus and Hagrid and up to the other six. "What are you guys up to." his nervous eyes fell on Kagome and Kuro, not the most welcoming picture.

"Naming." Sango and Hermione said at the same time, holding up their respective projects in pride. The three guys just crossed their arms and rolled their eyes.

"You guys are lucky, at least you don't have something totally evil!" he gave an exasperated sigh but then say the look Inuyasha was giving him. "Well um… you know what I mean. I'm stuck with a cockatrice!" he declared sadly.

"All it does is peck and flap and it's just plain painful, Hagrid said that I will have to keep it outside because it has a phobia about closed in places."

"Claustrophobic?" Kagome suggested.

"Yeah that's the one." Harry sighed and slumped.

Hermione patted his back. "Not to worry, I'm sure everything is going to be okay, at least you don't have to sleep in the same bed as it." She gestured to the hyper monkey bouncing around the agitated Kuro. Kuro pounced and together the two began tumbling around on the earth, fighting and biting the whole time.
