Chapter 7: Puppy Dog Eyes
Inu Yasha still looked kind of confused. "What?"

"'S true!" Shio said. "She's allergic to you!" then he pointed at the Parody Pack, "And she's allergic to them." Then he pointed to himself and said, "She's even allergic to me!" "Bull with a capital "S"!" Inu Yasha said folding his arms.

"It's impossible to be allergic to people!" Kagome said. "Isn't it?"

"I don't know if you can be allergic to people, but you can be allergic to those of the canine variety!" he said placing his point.

"Feh!" Inu Yasha said, obviously in the denial stage. "If she's allergic to me, how come she hasn't shown anything before, huh?"

"Allergies can start at anytime." Kagome said looking at her laptop screen. She looked up at him sadly. "Aren't you going to say something?! I'm allergic to you!" she shouted.

"You're NOT allergic to me!" he shouted back.

"Well she's not allergic to anything else!" Shippou said. Inu Yasha bopped him over the head.

"SIT!!"

WHAM!!!

Kagome went into a coughing fit. Shippou hugged her tighter, "I'm okay." She said.

The puppies came over to her worriedly. The little Shippou puppy licked her lips and nose. And she rubbed her nose in discomfort.

"Get away from her, dumb dog!" Inu Yasha kicked at him, to scare him off. He kneeled next to her. "Listen, Kagome, he doesn't know what he's talking about. There's no way YOU can be allergic to ME!" of course he wasn't referring to the puppies in this statement, or his half dog demon friend Shio. If it were true, he was saying it to convince himself; or if saying it would make whatever problem there might be disappear and never be spoken of again.

She hugged him and he was about to hug her back but then she went into the scariest coughing fit she had had yet. It sounded like her lungs were on fire and trying to birth themselves from her mouth. He let go of her and backed away. He stood back with Shio, Shippou, and the puppies as Miroku and Sango tried to help her.

Shio looked at his best friend's heart broken puppy dog eyes and mentally got mad. He was going to help them find an answer to this tragedy if it killed him and dragged everyone else down with him! After all, he had to make up for gettn' with Kikyo. What were best friends for?
Kagome searched for dog allergy cures and info from books an computer programs from deep within her backpack. She pasted them to a word document and started to read what she found out loud.

"It's not actually the fur that triggers an allergic reaction, but the dander." She read.

"What?!" Inu Yasha said. He put his hands on top of his head. "I don't have dandruff!"

"Well then how come it's so white?" Miroku asked.

"That's natural, stupid!!" Inu Yasha shouted. "Heck, my hair is better then Sesshomaru's!"

"Dude, no one's hair is better then Sesshomaru's." Shio folded his arms jealously then grumbled. "The lucky basterd." -_-

(AN: For real! Bite cho' tongue, dog boi!)

Then Kagome read, "A protein in the saliva of your dog can also be an allergin...."

Everyone gave Inu Yasha an interested look.

"And just how did YOUR saliva get to Kagome?" Sango asked.

Inu Yasha blushed at what they were suggesting. He looked at all of their expressions and shouted, "Whatever thoughts you have in your head, you'd better get them out RIGHT NOW!!"

"Settle down, Inu Yasha." Kagome said not taking her eyes away from the computer screen. There are a lot of things we can do to cope with this." She looked over the page. "There's a lot of stuff about cleaning things." She read aloud. "Try to minimize contact with the pet. Keep them away from places you'd normally go," such as her time era. "Make your bedroom off limits." Kagome smiled and fantasized the thought of getting her chores and homework done in her time without Inu Yasha interrupting. "I think I like this idea!"

So Miroku and Sango sat next to her. Shio sat in a tree about twenty feet away in a comfortable position. Inu Yasha crouched on all fours next to the tree looking over. The puppies stood around him and Shippou was clinging to puppy Miroku's neck.

Inu Yasha growled and said, "Yeah? Well how am I going to protect you in battle and stuff like that, huh?! How is this going to aid the shard hunt!" that should have been the topic of conversation at that very moment!

"Well, there are other cures." She said looking at the screen.

"Good!" he said. "Do whatever it says!"

She read aloud, "Bathing your dog regularly will reduce the volume of allergins. Removing loose hairs in this way will further reduce allergens."

They looked over at Inu Yasha. He looked back with an almost naïve expression and blinked twice.

"Alright, pal!" Sango said. She snapped her fingers and pointed her thumb over her shoulder. "Hit the showers!"

"Huh?!" Inu Yasha said. "I don't want to right now, I-HEY?!" Miroku and Shio grabbed him by the arms and started to drag him off.

"Sorry, man. Can't argue with a woman!" Shio said. "I'm going to take a bath also." Miroku whistled and the puppies came leaping over. They dragged Inu Yasha off swearing and shouting. A few seconds after the guys and dogs were out of view, they heard Inu Yasha give a screech.

Miroku came back over to the girls holding a red and white kimono and a green and white kimono. He held them out and said, "Here lady Kagome."

She took them and said, "Yeah, I'll go back to my time and wash them."
Inu Yasha sat in the hot spring grumbling irritatedly. The water did feel good, but it was the principle of the thing!

"Ah, come on man!" Shio said from the other side of the hot spring. The dogs were swimming around and playing.

Shio came and sat across from him. He studied the emotional look on Inu Yasha's face and came up with his own reason for the dog boy's ruffed attitude. "Okay! I think I know what's wrong!" he said.

Inu Yasha glared up at him.

Shio smiled back and said, "You want Kagome in here with you, don't you?"

Inu Yasha sighed and said, "Shio, don't start it!"

"Come on, I mean if I where you, I would have gotten with her a long time ago!" Shio said. Then a thought crossed the sexgod's mind and he asked. "Have you gotten with her yet. Inu Yasha turned to that he wasn't facing Shio.

"Have you?" Shio asked. "Have you seen her skylark?"

Inu Yasha blushed and turned his head so that Shio had no chance of making an assumption about his expression.

Well, I don't know man. I'm startn' to think you've lost your mojo!" Shio said. He went to go lean against a big rock. He began to muse on his thoughts. "But I guess if you've been sealed to a tree for fifty years, that sort of thing happens. I mean, you don't drink as much, you're sex drive has dropped below sea level!"

Inu Yasha groaned in frustration.

"No, it has!" Shio said. "I mean, if you're going to practically live with a girl, know her inside and out, see her skylark, and not even TRY to make a move on her!? That's pretty sad!"

Inu Yasha sat there and didn't move or speak, but Shio knew he was listening. "I know it sounds crazy, but she must have 'needs', too. If they go unfulfilled, she might just go looking for someone else who can."

Inu Yasha winced. Shio smacked the water at him, making him jump and turn around.

Shio glared at him and said, "Two choices, be jealous, or make your friends jealous." Shio looked at his fingers. "We've been in here too long, I'm starting to wrinkle!"

Inu Yasha gave him a funny look and Shio started to climb out. "What are you doing?" Inu Yasha asked.

"I'm going back to camp."

"We're supposed to stay here and wait for Miroku to bring back our clothes."

"Well I got to keep my skin kissably soft!" Shio said. He looked into the water at his reflection and traced his chin bones. "A good complexion is part of the battle." He started to walk back. Inu Yasha held his breath and put his head all the way under to rinse off the last of the shampoo.
Well Shio was walking through the tall grass, the usual way back when he heard something beautiful. It was like the softest flute he had ever heard. A beautiful feminine voice echoed around the woods singing.

"I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of anything, but yoooouuuu......"

His ears twitched and he stared at the direction it was coming from in awe.

"Your breath on my face your gentle kiss I taste-the truuuuth, I taste the truuuuth....."

Without thinking, he started walking in that direction; almost the opposite direction of camp. He was starting to come out of the woods, but the tall grass stayed. Warm and inviting sunlight started to fade in as the trees faded out.

"You know what I came heeerrreeeee fooorr, so I won't ask fooooorrr mooorrre......"

He moved through the grass, amazingly quiet. It must have been some mythical creature out there! A siren, a phoenix, nothing real could sing that beautifully! He pushed apart some grass and without being seen himself, got a clear view of the source of the singing.

"I wanna be with you...." she sang. Practically floating over a small patch of flowers, stood a human woman. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen besides his sister. With skin as pale and luminous as the moon, and long flowing dark hair, that would have been the night sky, she picked flowers as she sang, putting the prettiest of wild perennials to shame with her radiant beauty. She smiled back over the hill at an old lady and a servant standing in front of a castle watching her.

She continued to pick flowers and sing. Shio didn't understand it! Since he was very young, he knew that woman could be just as corrupt as he could! That's why they all slept with him so easily! He looked at this female in confusion. Her eyes! So compassionate, so youthful! He couldn't find a single trace of sin in them whatsoever!

He stood there skylark watching her through the tall grass, unable to look away. Shio had never felt like this before!

I'm am so in the mood for writing! ^_^
