Chapter 3

As Inuyasha approached the gate where the dog sat still as a statue, he avoided eye contact so that the large animal would not feel threatened.  He knew that as soon as he approached the animal that it would be able to smell him for what he was. 

"Inuki, is it?" he said after sitting down against the fence a few feet away from the dog that appeared to be patiently waiting for its master.

The dog let out a soft growl and the two small yelps letting the aforementioned dog demon know that if he did not want to upset the canine not to get any closer to either him or his human and questioning why they had been followed this morning.

"Personal curiosity. I am unfamiliar with the customs of this place and have never seen people accompanied by a dog, much less seen humans speak to one.  If you don't mind me asking, you don't smell like a full dog, what is the other part?"

Having his immediate concerns addressed and detecting no reason to assume that this was anything more that a pleasant way to spend some time of which the dog was assured that he had much of due to his demon half, The four-legged guardian decided to indulge himself in a conversation with the inu-hanyou.  Turning slightly so that he could at least watch his new companion, he noticed that the demon had almost resigned him self to not getting an answer.   At this the he let out a small puff of air and settled on explaining his situation. 

"What do you mean, not dog? You smell of it." Inuyasha stared unbelieving at the animal at his side.  "Half guardian angel I will acquiesce to, but half human? You must think I am stupid to consider believing that!  Even a Hanyou like me knows that half-lings can only take human looking forms."

At that Inuki gave a rather undignified growl mixed with a snort to voice his displeasure.  After sitting a moment in silence he let out a few questioning yips.

"Of course I haven't, it's impossible.  It doesn't matter that the other side was descended from dogs!  I'm telling you there is no way." At this they dog got up and started move several feet towards an alley before turning slightly and barking over his shoulder.

"Feh! Like I believe you!" Inuyasha retorted in advance of getting up himself and following anyway.  After reaching the end of the secluded passage, a yellow-white light encompassed the dog and shot randomly thru the air just like he had seen Sesshomaru do after he was defeated the first time.  The ball of light settled a few feet from the young inu-hanyou and slowly dissipated. In its place was a young man with light brown hair that had gray streaks through it. 

His long molted hair wrapped around the body of the obviously younger man.  He rose to his full height and looked up into two large amber orbs.

"Stubborn hanyou."
