A/N: Well the original idea behind this fic was for people to tell me what kinds of dogs they wanted Kagome to show Inuyasha. But since I have yet to receive any suggestion, I'll start with my favorite breed.

The Dog Show

Chapter 2

"Oi, wench!" Inuyasha said as he pulled from Kagome's grasp and looked around the building. Kagome had yet to answer his question on what was going on and had instead dragged him inside. The place was crowded with people moving to and frow. Some dressed nicely others, like Kagome and himself, casually. The air was full of smells, including food, sweat, someone's too strong after shave, but most pungently-dogs, very clean dogs. "What are we doing here and what is going on?"

Kagome fidgeted under his gaze. How was she going to explain this with out him causing a scene? He probably wasn't going to appreciate this, especially when he got a look at what some dogs looked like after 500 years of very select breeding. The best thing she decided was to show him something he'd approve of to start with. She gave her memory a quick scan. Her aunt was really into dog shows and had made it a point that her niece was properly exposed. Then the idea hit her. She put on her sweetest smile, crossed her fingers, and said a prayer.

"Well…When I was little my aunt always took me to places like this. They are called Dog Shows." Inuyasha's quirked an eyebrow at her with a mixture of curiosity and disgust. "People bring their dogs and a judge decides, out of all the dogs here, which is the best."

"I seriously hope you aren't planning to enter me in this stupid thing, bitch." He said in a dangerously low voice. 'At least he didn't yell that' Kagome thought.

"Of course not!" Kagome retorted, "It's just in my time there are a lot of different kinds of dog. And you are always so worried about my safety when I come back to my time, that I have been thinking about getting a dog to protect me. But I wanted your approval on the kind of dog I got. And there is no better place then a dog show to see all the different kinds." Kagome smiled up at him a sweetly as she could manage. 'Please buy it. Please buy it. Please buy it.' She begged over and over in her head.

Inuyasha looked down at the human girl smiling up at him. She wanted his approval on a guard dog for her. Was this an attempt to trick him into something? No, this didn't seem like her kind of trick, Shippou maybe, but not Kagome. She was looking out for her own safety for once, which was good. And she had a point; it would make him feel more at ease to know she had some protection in her time. And it wasn't like she asked for a guard wolf. That made him smile.

"Ok, Kagome." He said with a nod.

"Yes!" She squealed and began looking around. She spotted the signs directing them to different sections. If she wanted to see this show she would have to start out with something safe. 'Working Dogs' looked good. She latched onto Inuyasha's hand and began walking off to the right.

A few minutes later they were standing beside a ring with many Doberman Pinschers in it. She liked Dobermans, they were sleek, not too much fur to brush, and looked and acted tough but were really very sweet. Kind of like a certain hanyou. She glance at Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye to find a business like yet confused look on his face.

Inuyasha eyed the dogs in the ring critically. They looked like nice tough dogs; good for protecting his Kagome. Long legs meant good speed, and the lack of long fur gave little for an opponent to grad hold of. The ears and eyes looked alert for danger and the jaws were large with nice pointy teeth. But the tail was…funny.

"Where are their tails?" He asked. Kagome's smile faltered. Dobermans had docked tails. How could she make the fact that they had been cut off at birth sound good enough to keep him from freaking out? The answer: It wasn't possible. She bit her lip and motioned for him to lean down. He complied.

What Kagome whispered into his ear nearly made his eyes pop out of their sockets. How cruel! How inhumane! He was going to go give those people a piece of his mind! But before he could go anywhere, Kagome had latched herself to his arm again. He growled at her and she gave him the do-and-be-sat look.

"It's a terrible practice, I agree." She said in a low whisper, "But you can't just march out there in the middle of the show. When we get back to my house I'll help you get in contact with some advocacy groups, ok?"

"Advocacy?" He tested the new word in his mouth.

"People who are against such practices." She said and forcefully led him away under the threat of many sits.

A/N2: Ok so this one wasn't very funny, but they will get better I promise. Now tell me what kinds of dogs you people want to see.
