A/n: Okay I have finally fixed this chapter, to those of you who didn't understand what my crappy computer messed up her is the fixer upper fro you guys! **************
As the sun sets where a once mangy dog sat now stands a handsome boy with silver hair and dog-ears. I take out the hat Miroku gave me and put it on my head as I leave the shrine.
Arriving shortly at Miroku's I enter inside the back door to see a very pissed off Sango leaving only saying a 'hi Inu-Yasha' before she left slamming the door.
"Pervert. You grabbed her again didn't you." pouring myself some tea I look at Miroku who's smiling dreamily with the red handprint across his face.
"It was worth it!" he says snapping out of his daze. "So how did it go?"
"She has a nice bed for me by her be, it'll do. She gave me ramen for dinner so at least the wench cares about what I eat. And she let me out with out any suspicions." Miroku looks at me and stands to get some more tea for himself.
"Kagome's a nice girl and has a very caring heart. Just be careful."
"Why?"
"You see I come from a long line of monks, one of my relatives crossed a miko and she cursed his hand."
"Probably groped Kikyou."
Miroku just shrugs "So my right arm has a curse, it's been inherited. Sango comes from a long line of demon exterminators. And strangely she knows your han-you."
"Your point is one little human girl isn't enough to kill me!"
"Maybe, but then there's Kagome. She's a very strong miko."
"The wench's a miko!"
"She trains with one of the teachers from school, her name's Keade. But even though she is a miko in training you need to be careful. I've seen her do powerful things without her knowing it."
"Great you sold me to Kikyou's reincarnation and on top of that she's some miko that can possibly kill me!" Whining I downed the rest of my tea.
Miroku just shook his head. "I gotta go to bed Inu-Yasha. I got school in the morning." nodding I put the cup in the sink and left.
The streets are empty not much people out around 11. I guess I'll just go back home, I can sleep in my tree till she falls asleep. I bound up the steps to the shrine all I am is a blur of red, silver and tan.
Her light is still on, why's she still studying at this time! Stupid girl she needs her sleep. I leap into my tree and jump to the highest limb to look over all of Tokyo. The night is so nice it's calm, cool and quiet it just calls to me as I sit there supported with the strong dense leaves of my tree.
Glancing at Kagome's bedroom once again I see her light still on. Stupid wench it's one in the morning don't you know when to sleep. In one long graceful bound I land crouching on her windowsill.
And you left your window open to! Stupid girl, I grumble as I part the curtains and step into the room. There she is asleep at her desk her arm propped as a pillow as she softly snores away on her open math book.
I shake my head and go to pick her up. She sifts in my arms and gets into a more comfortable position before I lay her on the bed. Beautiful, it was the one word I thought of then and I still think of it now that I watch her sleeping.
In the morning I almost got my tail stepped on by Kagome as she rushed out of bed and flew into the bathroom. After she brushed her hair and teeth she stumbled across the room putting her socks on as she packed her school bag.
After she had everything packed she went to her closet and took out her uniform. She was about to slip her shirt off when she glanced at me. "Naughty Inu-kun staring at a young girl undressing." she wagged her finger at me as I turned and faced the wall. I listened to the quiet sounds of clothes going off and then coming back on and when I was sure she was done I turned to face her.
She was kneeling on the floor tying her shoes. She finished and turned to me. "Do you want to come? I'm sure your smart enough no to get lost from here to my school." She said it sweetly talking to me as if I were han-you. Grabbing her bag she left the room with me following close behind.
She grabbed four rice crackers a plum a peach, some bread and a slice of bacon on our way out. Walking down the steps quickly she handed me the bacon, bread and plum as she ate the rice crackers and peach in a rush.
She jumped the last four steps and landed in front of a group of first graders scaring them as she began to run. She could run fast and it was good exercise. Up ahead in the distance Sango and Miroku stood waiting.
"Kagome you made it just in time!" Sango said as Kagome slowed down and caught her breath.
"Yeah (gasp of air) I just made it in (another gasp of air) time." She leaned against the side of the Miroku's pet shop as I sat at her feet.
"Is this the dog?" Sango asked looking at me. 'Dog?' I'm a han-you I have you know!
"Yeah his name is Inu-Yasha, or Inu-kun for short." Kagome said finally catching her breath. Sango 'hmmed' and Miroku chuckled.
~Inu-kun" He mocked looking at me winking. "It seems that both of you are getting along well." I growled at him and he laughed again. "I think we should start going to school."
"Yeah," Kagome looked around like she was expecting someone. "I want to miss Kouga and Hojo." She cringed when she said the two names.
Who the hell are Hojo and Kouga! I looked at Miroku who was looking serious. "I've been out for three weeks, are they still bothering you Kagome-san?"
Kagome nodded and Sango looked sad. What have they done to Kagome! I growled looking for two evil boys as we continued to walk. "They won't take no for an answer. Yesterday I found forty one red roses in my locker." Miroku looked at her his expression asking 'why 41?' "They were sent from Kouga, 40 for the 40 times he's asked me out. The 41st had a gold ribbon and a card in 14 caret gold letters reading 'A rose for my love. Will you give me the honor of residing in your heart?' I threw all 41 in the garbage right after I stomped on them."
She looked so sad and angry. Sango quickly changed the subject, "You know what Kagome I met a friend of Miroku's two nights ago."
"You did?" Kagome quickly forgot about Kouga and I glanced at Miroku who just looked at me and shrugged.
"He had long silver hair, gold eyes and was very polite."
"What was his name?" Miroku and me were just wishing that someone could hang us before it went on anymore.
"Funny thing is his name's Inu-Yasha. He said that was just it."
Kagome looked down at me, "Maybe he was your owner Inu-kun." She laughed as I felt a cold sweat come on. More like me.
"I wonder if he'll go to our school?" What do you think I'm doing right now! Miroku chuckled and smothered it with his hand.
"What's so funny Miroku?" Kagome asked.
"Oh it's just Inu-Yasha, my friend, he has some problems with himself that he has to wait to get fixed." Sango and Kagome shot him worried glances.
"Is it serious?" Kagome asked.
"He could probably get a miko to fix it but other then that he has to wait." I glared daggers in to Miroku's legs. Stupid human! Stop talking!
"Maybe Keade could fix it." Kagome said hopefully. I barked up a head of us at nothing. "What's wrong Inu-kun." she looked at me as we came to the school gate. "Oh we're here already. Inu-kun I want you to go home, a dog catcher might get you."
I rose my nose in the air. Tough chance I'm leaving! I'm staying here to keep an eye on you. Kagome patted my head and walked into the gates. I walked the opposite direction to fake her into thinking I was leaving and ducked into an alley.
When she was halfway to the school doors I walked out of the alley and waited in the shadow of the large Iron Gate. Miroku turned and spotted me. He winked then waved and entered the building. I'll keep a close eye on you Kagome! And you, Miroku better help me.
Standing in the shadow I missed the tall boy with black hair watching Kagome through the glass windows bending over to get her books by her locker.
