Dear Readers,
This is my first YYH fic, if you want to see my other fics, just look my name up! This one was inspired by the manga, but lets just cut to the story.... Shall we? I do not own YYH, or any of it's characters, minus my own inventive demons..... So let's start the show!!!!!
Yours Truly,

It was once again the Cherry Blossom Festival in Tokyo, Japan, it would be the first time that Inu Yasha had ever gone to the festival in his life. Kagome was currently getting on her best komodo (I think that's how it's spelled....) for the event. "How much longer are you gonna take?!", Inu grumbled to the door.
"Just a little longer, be patient.", Kagome stated, "Until then....",
"Don't you dare say it you....", Inu Yasha stated.
"Just sit.", Kagome finished.
FWAMP! Inu lay on the floor twitching a slight bit. "I hate you....", he stated.
....
They finally had made it to the festival, but not without a few stares at Inu Yasha, who's ears gained attention. Inu walked, quietly following Kagome around, his eyes wandered from one thing to the next, he really didn't care about anything. But then, something did catch his eye. It was just a closed shop, but it had old Japanese dolls sitting in the display window. 'There's something strange about these....', Inu thought to himself.
Kagome stopped when she noticed Inu Yasha wasn't behind her, she turned, and found him staring at a shop window display, then, a crowd blocked him from her view. As soon as they had come the crowd parted, and Kagome let out a small gasp of shock. Because Inu Yasha stood there, but he was just... A little kid. Kagome walked up to him, quietly, and looked at him with a shocked look upon her face. "Inu.... Yasha?....", she stated, carefully, as to not startle him.
Inu Yasha turned, and looked at her curiously. "Hn, who are you?", he asked, "Where am I?",
"Uh..... Tokyo, Japan.", Kagome stated, "Listen, I have to take you.... Home with me okay?",
"No! I can get home by myself! I don't need any help from a mortal girl.", Inu stated, firmly.
"But, you have to.", Kagome stated, taking hold of his wrist, and dragging him towards home.
"No! I don't know who you are! Sessho! Sessho help me! Sessho Maru!", Inu Yasha stated, starting to fight against Kigome, "Sessho, please?....",
Kagome finally got Inu as far as the park, and he had finally gave up hope that his older brother was going to help him out. No, rather, he was sniffling, and actually followed Kagome home. "Listen, your brother's been gone for a long time, he might not show up ever again, but, you'll be staying here, until I figure something out.", Kagome stated.
Inu didn't respond, but just nodded, and let himself get dressed for bed. "Now, you rest some, and I'll see how you're doing in the morning, okay?", Kagome stated.
Inu didn't state anything, but just sat there in bed, looking at his own hands.
...
Kagome opened the door to the bedroom, and she looked at the bundle in the bed. Inu clutched the pillow and only stirred when Kagome brushed some of his hair out of his face. Inu Yasha whimpered a slight bit, snuggling into the pillow. Kagome gently shook him awake.
...
No matter how sweet Inu- Yasha had looked while sleeping, he was being a pain in the ass at the moment, refusing to eat, and sitting with his arms crossed in his seat. She had finally found out what it was that she had happened, it was in an old book from futile Japan that Shippo had brought her a few days ago. A youth spell, which could only be reversed by the same thing that had caused it to happen. "Come on, we're gonna go into town.", Kagome stated, taking Inu Yasha's wrist again.
"No! I'm not going anywhere but home!", Inu Yasha huffed, promptly sitting down on the porch.
"Oh no you don't you little half- breed!", Kagome growled, then noticed the sudden hurt in his eyes from that comment, "Inu Yasha... I- I didn't mean....."
Inu's eyes swelled with tears. "I HATE YOU!", he stated, getting up, and racing into the woods.
"Inu Yasha! Get back here.... SIT!", Kagome stated, but, he was already out of ear shot, "Inu Yasha....",
....
The young Inu- Yasha ran hard, and fast, his tears fell one after the other... He all of a sudden found himself in a clearing... He looked up at the area that was cleared. It had a large, black river, Inu cautiously stepped onto it, and noticed that it was hard, and he didn't sink into the water... It was so interesting to the youth that he didn't notice the semi- truck coming at him, until it blew it's horn. Inu looked up, and stood, wide eyed at the huge machine. That's when Kagome came through the clearing, having heard a truck horn. "Inu Yasha! Move! Inu!", Kagome yelled, but Inu was too shocked to do anything, "Inu Yasha! SIT!",
Just as the truck was about to hit him, Inu Yasha was forced to the asphalt, and the truck passed over him, with no harm. "Inu!", Kagome stated, running to the now, quivering, and crying child, "It's okay, you're safe, it's alright, don't ever do that again okay?", Kagome stated.
Inu nodded, and clutched to Kagome scared of what could of happened. The poor half- demon lay in Kagome's grasp for a long time, and cried pitifully. He didn't seem to have been hurt, luckily.
...
Sessho- Maru walked patiently towards the well, he knew what he wanted, and it would become deadly obvious by tomorrow.... He needed his younger half- brother, and he didn't mean willingly either.
