In The Dog Pound
*~*~*
Gomen nasai, minna-san! I just had the actual chapter done, ready for editing, when my dad took down my old computer. u_u;;;; Anyway, this is the next chapter... hope you enjoy it.
*~*~*
Chapter Three: "SIT!"
"Eh..." Kagome looked at the dog boy wearily, her eyes resembling two brown dots, as she started to scoot away from him. Suddenly, the boy looked up, confused, at her. "W-what... were..." The boy continued to look at her oddly.
"Kikyou. What did you do to me?" The boy asked, his golden eyes hardening. "First you promised to give me the Shikon no Tama, and then you've had the insane idea to turn me into some mangy dog?!" Kagome jumped slightly. "You thought it'd be funny, didn't you, Kikyou? You always did have some odd fixation with dogs."
"Huh...? What are you talking about?" Kagome asked. "I'm not this Kikyou girl."
"Heh. Fool some other hanyou into believing that, Kikyou. Oh, wait. I should call you by the damn title they gave you: Miko-sama," The boy answered. Kagome felt her eye twitch. Why was this boy continually calling her 'Kikyou'?
"Hey! I told you! I'm not Kikyou! I'm Kagome! Kagome Higurashi!" Kagome shouted. "And I should've left you at that dog pound! I knew you were nothing but trouble!"
"Huh?" The boy asked. He sniffed again, then put on a disgusted face. "Ech... you definitely aren't Kikyou. Whoever you are, wench." Suddenly, he winced when Kagome grabbed a hold of his forelocks. "Ouch! Lemme go, you BUSU!! (ugly hag)"
"WHAT?! You-you...!" Kagome shouted, pulling on his forelock again. "NEVER call me that again!!"
"OUCH!!" The boy shouted. "LEMME GO!!!" Suddenly, her slender fingers let go of his hair. "Heh. I knew you'd let me go..."
"You... you said... you're a hanyou?" Kagome asked, looking at him, as she realized what he said earlier.
"Just figured that one out, didn'tcha?"
"Iie... just..." Kagome bit her lower lip. Weren't hanyou rare? She looked up at the boy again. "What's your name?"
"Kinda on the whole 'change the damn subject' thing, aren't ya?" The boy asked. Then he sighed, "It's Inuyasha. Just like the goddamned dog catcher said it was."
"'Dog demon'? Why would someone call you that?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha raised a dark eyebrow, which Kagome thought was odd on someone with such light hair color, and pointed to his ears. "Oh... Who's this Kikyou?"
"None of your business. Where the hell am I?" Inuyasha asked, standing up. "Heh. Some ugly plac–... SHIT!" Kagome looked up quickly at the young hanyou. He was staring at the Goshinboku tree, his eyes wide with shock. "What the fuck is that thing doing here?!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kagome asked. The Goshinboku tree had been there forever, including that odd shaped scar on the trunk.
"That goddamned tree! Shit!!" Inuyasha walked away from it, as if it burnt him. "Where am I?" He narrowed his eyes, and turned to glare at Kagome.
"Um... at the Higurashi Shrine.."
"Huh? The Sunset Shrine?" Inuyasha asked, scratching his head.
*~*~*
"Miroku-sama... we lost him again, didn't we?" Sango, the neighbor hood youkai-taiji, asked. The monk in front of her smiled and nodded. "Damn. That was two million yen. I could've fixed Hiraikotsu."
"Iie. Inuyasha's a lot stronger than a regular taiji and a houshi to handle. Still.. The money worth his... removal... from society is a very high sum... We should keep looking, ne, Taiji-sama?" Miroku asked, turning to smile at Sango, who turned a slight pink before looking at the sides of the road.
"H-hai... we better find Kikyou-sama to find out more about him..."
*~*~*
Kikyou sat beside her vanity, glaring at the reflection. It was his fault she was here. It was his fault she was engaged to such a cretin as... Onigumo... The man lusted after her. She thought he was disgusting. Imagine... she, a beautiful shrine priestess.... marrying a thief such as Onigumo! Her father was definitely after money, rather than his daughter's happiness. Kikyou sighed. At least Kaede was all right. Everything was for Kaede.
"Onee-sama? Onigumo-san wants to meet you."
Kikyou sighed. Time to apply her facade... until, at least, Inuyasha paid for what he did... and when Onigumo was out of her life forever.
