A Dog's Life

Inu-Yasha and co do not belong to me.

a/n: Hello again! I want to thank every one of my reviewers I'm not the type of person that will write answers to every one of my reviews, I did it a couple of times and I find it tiring I was happy that you guys all agreed that Kouga fits the stalker role and at times in the series he is a stalker!

lol and OF COURSE Hojo the homo is such an airhead and to save us the pain he might only make a few appearances in this fic. I still don't know about other characters like Shippo, Myoga, Kohaku, Narku, and Kana making cameos in this fic but for sure I know that Kagura and Seshoumaru are going to be in hear somewhere. Sadly Fluffy will come towards the end. T_T Oh well ENJOY!!!

The next day Kagome went to school on time, I joined her. Kouga didn't go to school that day. Stupid wolf serves him right. But after school she left early and didn't wait her Sango or Miroku.

Walking down the street instead of going straight, she turned up a small one-way street. Where are you going Kagome! Walking up stairs to an old house I bounded up three of the stairs and stopped at her feet.

"Inu-Kun!" She called happily placing her hand on my head "This is Keade's house, you might want to go back home."

Meh! I'll go wherever you go wench! She looks back at me and smiled, "Alright" She continued walking the last of the steps and knocked on the large wooden door.

"Come in child." a low deep, voice said from inside the large old house. Kagome nodded and twisted the rusted handle.

"Hello Keade." Kagome said softly entering the house. It was dusty and very muggy. God when was the last time this baba cleaned!

"Hello my child. How was your school day." the old lady said walking out of a kitchen.

"Fine Keade I got a B- on a math test." Kagome said as Keade looked at me. Kagome noticed her glaze and looked down at me. "His name is Inu- Yasha. I bought him from a friend a few days ago." she smiled at me and looked back at Keade.

"He's very nice dog Kagome and what a strong name." the old hag said. "Well child go change into your clothes and we'll start." Kagome nodded and went into a room at her right.

Keade went back into the kitchen and looked at me waiting for me to follow. Taking the hint I followed her as she sat at the round breakfast table. "Inu-Yasha." She said softy to me. "You are the same Inu-Yasha that my great, great, great aunt put a curse on you are you not?"

I nodded my head. Dammit why do I have to keep meeting people that either look like or know Kikyou! "Are you hoping that Kagome can break your spell?" I nodded again. "You must be careful. What you desire might turn around and she could end up reversing the spells design."

Kagome walked into the room she had on the traditional miko clothes the white kimono top and red pants. Her black hair was tied in a loose ponytail. Looking at her was sending shivers of hate down my spine. God she looked like Kikyou. Her hair was wavy but tied like that she was a Kikyou imitation.

As if Keade sensed my emotions she nudged me in my side and brought me back to reality. "Kagome you go and set up your things in the back and I'll fix Inu-Yasha a snack." Keade said walking to the fridge.

"Okay but Inu-Yasha only eat human food." She said patting my head as she let out of a sliding door.

"Inu-Yasha tonight I want you to return her. That way you can answer my questions that I have for you." the old hag smiled a wrinkled smile at me and rummaged in the fridge. After finding some chicken and rice she heated it up in the microwave for me and placed the plate in front of me.

"I'll be out back, don't worry about Kagome no harm will come to her." With that she left the room and I started eating my well-deserved meal.

Kagome did miko things for two hours and I watched up a lawn table Keade had. Kagome practiced different charms; they used me as a subject. I got one luck charm, a protection charm and a good fortune charm put on me. She also practiced bow and arrow. God was Kagome a poor shoot. Most of the time she got the out side of the target and once her arrow bounced off the wall and almost hit me.

After they finished Kagome returned to the room and changed into her school clothes. Keade gave me some juice to drink while I waited when Kagome came back we left the old miko's house and cut through a park to get back to the shrine.

By the time we made it to the shrine the sun was starting to set Kagome waved good bye to me and went into the house. I crawled by my tree the part that was facing away from the house and waited for the setting sun.

After I was back in my han-you form I jumped into the air and make my way to Miroku's. I land on Miroku's roof just when he's going out side to take out the garbage. Falling down behind him I put a talon across his neck. "Be silent or you die." I say trying to act evil. Miroku takes something out of his pocket and turns around placing it on my forearm.

"AHHH!" I scream as my flesh starts to burn. "Dammit Miroku take the fucking paper off!" Miroku goes out of his defensive crouch and looks at me.

"Stupid han-you!" he curses, "You didn't have to do that!" He peels the paper off of my arm as the burned flesh soon heals.

We walk inside the house and I tell him about how I kicked Kouga's wimpy wolf ass the night before and about Kagome's miko lessons and also about Kikyou's descendent Keade.

"So Kouga tried to enter Kagome's room." he says over tea. "But what about that barrier you said."

"I was thinking about telling Keade about it later on." Miroku nods and I stand up "I better go I don't wanna keep that old hag waiting up." With a small wave I make my way to the door.

Quickly running down the empty dark streets I get to Keade's house and enter her house with out knocking. "Hello Inu-Yasha." she says from a couch. Looking up from her book she nods her head at a couch asking me to sit.

Sitting I look at her, "So what are your questions?"

"Why Kagome?" She asks. I told her about being taken to Miroku's pet shop and about him finding me and how he wanted to help me and then how he sold me to Kagome for candy.

"Kagome has a kind heart. She's a good person."

"Yeah I know, last night a wolf demon named Kouga was watching her sleep." I feel my anger boiling. "He tired to get into her room but was blocked by a barrier. After that I gave Kouga a beating but how did she do that barrier in her sleep?"

"Kagome is a very gifted child, you might have noticed this already. She has the type of ki that can teach it's self."

"Then why are you training her?"

"She needs to know basics and also her power hasn't been awakened. In times of trouble it opens itself a little unconsciously but until know her power hasn't been awaken fully."

"So her power did that shield unconsciously?"

"Yes. That is why you should be careful around her, her power might awaken itself and change your curse."

I nod "I will, I need to go it's late." she nods and stands.

"Take this." she says handing me a necklace. "I gave Kagome one like this a while a go, but this one will bond you with her and you'll stay closer to her."

"Okay." I slip the necklace of red beads and fangs around my head and it glows gold. "Bye." I leave her house and leap across roof tops until I reach Kagome's.

Slipping down onto her windowsel I look into the dark room, good she's asleep. I walk into the room and land on a dog toy. Dammit! It makes a loud sqeuk and Kagome turns in her bed to look at the sound.

Rubbing her eyes she looks at me, "I-Inu-Yasha?" she whispers softly.
