Chapter 2 Getting a pet

Now you must know that Alexa is a decent person unless you get on her bad side. Then she'll kick your ass if you make one wrong move. She has black hair with one golden blonde streak in it. (She got the blonde streak from her father. He had blonde hair.) She's about 5' 6" and is 16 years old. Lots of guys ask her out but her response is the same. A kick in the nuts and a polite, "No, you're really not my type." She's also very smart. That means she knows that 2+2=4 and not 6. (It would be very sad if you didn't know that.)

Alexa stayed for 2 years with Rosanna, after learning that she was to stay with her until she turned 18. Then she would inherit everything and get to move into her old home. During the 2 years that Alexa stayed with Rosanna, she lived a normal life, got her drivers license, went to school, got good grades, and kicked some serious ass. When she turned 18 she moved back into her old home. She settled quickly and nearly cried a bit at the memories that the place brought. When she calmed herself she unpacked and dusted and cleaned the house. The furniture was still the same and quite dusty. So was everything else. It took about 2 days and then she finally relaxed. That day she decided to take a walk. So she headed down to a street that she forgot the name of. It had shops of all sorts. Clothes, toys, books, games, cameras. you name it and they had it. She was walking by a pet shop when she stopped. She always wanted a pet. She still wanted one, so she went into the store. She browsed through they animals till she came across some puppies. They were all rolling around and trying to look their cutest. Alexa chuckled. I think I want a puppy. They are so cute! But none of the them seemed to catch her eye more than another. They were sooooooooooooo cute! The shop keeper came over.

"Can I help you?" He asked. "Ummm. no.. wait, yes." She didn't know how to ask this. "Err do you have a puppy that's more special than the others?"
"They're all special."
"Of course, but they all seem to be on the same level of special ness, do you have one that might be up another notch?"
"I might. let me think." He paused for a minute. Alexa just happened to see his name tag at that moment. It said Kouga. Funny name. Sounds old.
"I think I have just the one." He said, with a smirk on his face. "There is a bargain to having this pup."
"Really? What is it?"
"If you can touch it with out having it bite you, it's free. Otherwise you get to pay the whole price. Get it?"
"Got it."
"Good. Now lets head this way." They went into a back room with a silvery white pup inside. Alexa felt something wonderful about him. As though he had some sort of powerful aura.
"He's adorable. He's a he right?" Alexa murmured. At her words the pup woke up. It growled slightly.
"Yes, yes, yes. I guess I'll leave you here. I'll be right outside." Kouga mumbled.
"How will you know if it bites me?"
"Believe me, I will know." He said and Alexa shrugged. Kouga left. Weirdo! He acts like he's doing something funny one minute and then acts all scared the next. Also, what kind of guy wears a ponytail on the top of his head? And such a odd name. Kouga. I wonder if it means something important. Probably not.
"Wonder why he left, pup? Dunno. He is one hell of a weirdo!" She was about to say something else when she heard through the door Kouga talking. The pup growled. "Shhhh. said Alexa to the pup. He did quiet down but kept his teeth bared.

"Kouga, I'll give you one week to find a owner for that dog. Then at the weeks end I'll give him to Naraku. It would be a shame because he works his dogs to the death. I hate the dog even more than Naraku and that's why I'm doing this."
"I have someone considering him right now sir. I think the dog will." And Alexa stopped listening.
She looked at the pup and stared. "How long have you been here for? Don't act stupid. And don't think that's what I am. You are going to some place that sounds an awful like what I think of hell. And Naraku? That's Japanese for 'hell' I think. So this is what is going to happen. I touch you, you don't bite me, we go home and work things out. Or else I touch you, you bite me, you go to hell, and I go home with another animal. Okay?" Alexa said. I'm talking to an animal. I think it's because it seems like he understands. Whatever.
Then Alexa went over and let the puppy sniff her hand and she scratched its ears. It made a happy noise. I'll get Kouga." She told the puppy. The pup growled.
She opened the door and looked out. "Kouga? You there? Meet my new friend." Kouga came into view. The pup growled at him. More like snarled.
"Good..Good. well, a deals a deal. Come this way." He grinned at Alexa, looking relieved. He led them to the door and gave her a leash and a coller. " Have a nice day."
"You too." Alexa said and left him in the doorway. Then to the pup, "Lets go."
