Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

____________________________________________________

"WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO!!!" Inuyasha yelled then snatched socks out of Kagome's hand. "Do you know what to do."

"Yipp!" It answered while shaking his head

"I didn't think so" Inuyasha said putting it in one hand and petting it in the other. "I feel so alone in the world...good thing I have you Socks or I would go nuts." he said smiling at the little puppy who licked his nose.

"HEY WHAT ABOUT ME!!!?" Kagome yelled.

".... um....Socks I'm so glad to have you in this world. I feel so lonely." He repeated.

"SIT!!" With that Inuyasha crashed into the ground and Socks went flying into the air and landed straight into Kagome's arms.

"You WENCH!!!" Inuyasha yelled. "Socks is still recovering! What if he was hurt…poor little guy. Did that mean old witch scare you?" He said taking back Socks and headed back into the house.

"Mom! Inuyasha's going to stay here with us! We need to clean out the guest bedroom." Kagome said coming in.

"Oh cool! HI INUYASHA!" Sato came running out of his room to greet Inuyasha and saw him with Socks. "Don't tell me you like that little trouble maker. Every day it get's into something like...hey what's wrong with his leg?"

"Mom, Socks had an accident and if I work harder this week could I get a little extra allowance. I still need to pay the vet bill" Kagome asked her mother who was washing dishes.

"Ok but you start with the dishes. Sato go show Inuyasha around." She told them and Inuyasha followed Sato and Kagome started on the dishes.

"When's Inuyasha coming back with Kagome?" Shippo asked Sango who had Kirara on her shoulder.

"I don't know. I'm worried they should have been here by now." Sango answered with a worried tone in his voice.

"Knowing Inuyasha and Kagome, they probably had some kind of fight and he's staying there to try and make it up to her" Miroku said while slipping his hand down Sango's back and started touching her.... *SLAP*

"I promise my hand just slipped." Miroku said with giant hand print on his face.

"Yeah...right." Sango said giving him another slap.

"And this is your room." Sato said opening a door that led to a simple room with a window, green curtains, with a green comforter on he bed. There was a small desk in the corner.

"So where does Socks sleep?" Inuyasha asked.

"He has a little bed. I'll go and bring it up here. But if he does something on the carpet, Mom will have your head." He said heading down the stairs for Socks' little bed. He brought it back up and it was a little bed just for dogs with the name 'Socks' stitched into it. Inuyasha placed it into the little bed and watched it get itself comfortable and then lied down and finally went to sleep.

(Down stairs)

"Kagome since you're done with the dishes and I have nothing else for you to do, why don't you go and show Inuyasha around the city?" She said walking around the kitchen.

"Huh? I don't know if that's such a good idea..."

"Well why not? You bought him some close and a hat. Just go out today and by him some knew close so that he blends in. And while he's here I'm going to have to sign him up for school..."

"SCHOOL??!!!" Kagome yelled. "Now that's definitely not a good idea! Besides, as long as Socks is injured Inuyasha will not leave this house unless Socks is with him."

"Well he'll just have to leave him here. Now go and show him around the city." Her mother told her. She went up stairs and opened the door.

"Inuyasha, do you want to see the ci...ty?" Kagome paused as she saw Inuyasha staring over Socks' little bed watching it breathe softly. Socks was asleep now and Inuyasha wanted to make sure that nothing could harm it. He had already considered it as a son to him.

"Huh? I can't leave Socks here. He's sleeping and totally out in the open to get hurt. As a responsible parent I must protect him." Inuyasha said.

"Parent? Inuyasha it's just a little puppy, he'll be fine. Dogs in this age like to be alone sometimes when they're injured." Kagome lied to him just to get him out of the room.

Inuyasha hesitated but soon agreed as long as Kagome's mother would keep a good eye on him. Inuyasha followed Kagome out of the room, down stairs, and outside where they climbed down many, many steps.

"You'll be going to school with me this week so I'll show you the school first." She said as they got down from the stairs.

"School… What's school?" Inuyasha asked.

"That place where I take all those tests." Kagome answered.

"What! I'm not going to leave Socks to take a lousy test!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Mom will take good care of him I promise." Kagome said.

"But.... but....he needs me." Inuyasha argued.

"No he doesn't. He loves you very much Inuyasha but you're not his parent." Kagome told him.

"Well he considers me his parent...He even calls me daddy" Inuyasha said with a smile on his face.

"Inuyasha...."

"What?" asked Inuyasha.

"You scare me."
