I don't own Inuyasha!    

Inuyasha's a WHAT!

Chapter 3

"Kary! I forgot to tell you that your cousin Sakura is coming today!" Sea hollered. It was the middle of the afternoon, the same day she had run away from Wood. Inuyasha was now out of her bag.

"Crud! She knows I need at least two hours to make my room look nice!" Kary frowned and began putting things in a specific order. She noticed Inuyasha looking confused. "Poor Inuyasha, I forgot to tell you about Sakura! She's my favorite cousin. I rarely see her, and she is super nice! But I think Tori and their dad are coming with her… Tori can be a bit protective of Sakura and me, so I don't want you and him to fight. Please Inuyasha?" Kary pleaded with the cat. Inuyasha sighed and nodded. "Thank you Inuyasha!" Kary hugged the clever silver cat.

*********

Soon her room was clean, and the door rang. Kary left Inuyasha in her room with the door closed. Inuyasha was pawing at the door madly.

"SAKURA!" Kary hugged her cousin tightly. "I missed you!"

"Move it squirts! These bags are heavy!" a male voice sounded annoyed.

"Tori!" Kary took some of the bags away from him and smiled happily at him. "I'm glad to see you, too!"

"Kary, you're the only one in our family who acts like the Kaijou!" Tori chuckled when his cousin pouted playfully at him.

"Whatever! Just wait until you see my surprise!" Kary sprinted off to her room with half of Sakura's bags. Tori and Sakura followed but gave each other a confused glance when they came up the stairs. "Inuyasha!" Kary called out, but the cat was no where to be seen. "INUYASHA!" Kary called out worriedly. "Inuyasha?"

"Who is Inuyasha?" Tori asked.

"He's my best friend," Kary's eyes began to water. Then suddenly a sulky cat was shoving his nose in her face. "Inuyasha!" Kary picked up the cat and hugged him tightly. "Tori, Sakura, this is Inuyasha! He acts a lot like you, Tori; especially, when he saved me!" Kary saw both of her cousins pale. They both knew and didn't know how Kary could take everything so calmly.

"The cat saved you?" Sakura asked in disbelief.

"Yup! He's my best friend! Just like you two are my best cousins!" Kary finally let go of Inuyasha and hugged Tori. Inuyasha growled, "Inuyasha! I told you to be nice to my cousin!" Kary frowned at her cat. Inuyasha looked very sulky again.

"Does he always do that?" Sakura asked.

"Just when any boy comes near me; I'd swear he and Tori are almost twins, except Inuyasha has such cute ears!"

"I'm being compared to a cat," Tori sighed.

"Hey, I only meant his protective streak! Besides, if I didn't know any better I'd say he was more of a protector and a friend, than a cat."

"Huh," Tori mumbled. "Squirt, you want to give it to her?"

"Oh yeah! Dad found this on a dig near this forest a while back! He thought that since you liked grandma's stories so much that you should have it!" Sakura smiled as she handed a long, bumpy present.

Kary quickly unwrapped it, to find… "Tetsusaiga," she gasped. "The Tetsusaiga! This was Inuyasha's weapon in the Feudal Era! It only worked to protect humans, and Inuyasha used it to protect his… Kagome…"

"Really? Dad didn't know what it was called. He just felt like you should have it," Sakura smiled. "I'm glad you like it! Happy birthday!"

"Thanks Sakura, Tori… this is the best present, next to what Inuyasha brought me."

"What'd he bring?" Tori asked.

"He brought me a sakura blossom," Kary smiled at the thought.

"That cat did?" Tori glanced at the cat, noticing that it wasn't normal. He gave it a look that said 'we're going to talk, soon.'

"Yeah, he's so sweet!" Kary smiled and kissed the cat on his cheek. The cat seemed to blush.

*********

Later that night after everyone was asleep; the cat went up to the sword. A few bumps and grunts later, there was a hanyou where the cat had been.

Kary yawned, opened her eyes, and gaped at the hanyou in front of her… "Inuyasha?" she gasped in shock.

"Kary, can I explain before you go ballistic?"

"Who said I'm gonna go ballistic, and how do you know my name?"

"I'm the hanyou called Inuyasha, and I was cursed in the form of a cat until I was reunited with Kagome's reincarnation, and the Tetsusaiga," Inuyasha sighed. "You're her reincarnation."

"I am? So that was why you kept calling me Kagome and Kikyo in my dreams! Were they even real dreams or did you find some way to get into them?" Kary frowned.

"I guess I got into your dreams, but I don't know how!" Inuyasha held up his hands in defense.

"Inuyasha, please follow me outside," Kary sighed. Inuyasha fidgeted. "I'll make you some ramen later."

"Feh!" Inuyasha followed her outside.

"Please, sit down," Kary watched in shock as Inuyasha fell to the ground. "I'm sorry!" Kary ran to him and waited for the spell to wear off.

"I should have known this would happen to me!" Inuyasha groaned.

"Inuyasha, I'm so sorry!" Kary helped him stand up and helped him back onto the porch.

"Bitch!" Inuyasha grumbled.

"How did you mean that?" Kary raised her brow. Inuyasha blushed and looked very nervous.

"Um, so… you have Tetsusaiga…"

"Technically, it belongs to you." Kary blushed and stared at the ground, "I'm glad that I got to meet you and hold Tetsusaiga. Besides, Tetsusaiga could never belong to anyone but you, Inuyasha."

"Huh?"

"It can't be wielded by any but you. It's some sort of protection spell or something," Kary frown and turned her gaze up to the stars. "Thank you for saving me from that guy in the alley. I was really scared and I don't know why I didn't do something."

"Kary," Inuyasha sighed. "Look, I did that because you gave me food and saved me. Though, I normally wouldn't have almost killed myself."

"But when you fought with the demons in my dreams… you did fight recklessly, but that was one of the reasons you always won. You were too unpredictable, except to those who knew you," Kary kept her gaze on the stars. "New moon is tomorrow night, and you're welcome here for as long as you like."

"Thanks," Inuyasha stared at the girl that was Kagome in a past life, but she was truly Kary.

"You can stay in my room tonight, but you're gonna want to cover your ears or plug them," Kary sighed. "There's going to be a lot of screaming in the morning, and I know Tori will go ballistic! Sakura will scream that you're cute and go for your ears! Mom will probably find that gigantic boomerang from who knows where, and Shiko will be dragging you everywhere. Think you can handle it?"

"Feh! I'm a demon."

"Fine, but the earplugs are a must," Kary fell asleep next to Inuyasha. The nervous hanyou carried Kary inside, upstairs to her room, and tucked her into her bed. Inuyasha made himself comfortable in his 'guard' position.

*********

"AHHH!" Shiko's screaming woke everyone in the house.

"I'm DEAF!" Inuyasha growled at the girl angrily. Kary immediately pulled Inuyasha to the bathroom and grabbed him a pair of earplugs.

"Are you okay, Inuyasha?" Kary had just finished putting in the earplugs and he could hear again, just not as well.

"Everything is muffled…"

"I'm glad you're okay," Kary sighed and hugged the startled hanyou.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY COUSIN?" Tori yelled angrily.

"Ouch! Tori! Shut up!" Kary covered her ears and yelled at her cousin. Tori gaped, but he kept sending glares at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha is my friend, and he saved me from that guy. If you're not nice to him I'll never speak to you again!" Kary glared at Tori.

"Fine, but if he tries to hurt you…" Tori frowned angrily. "Wait, did you just say Inuyasha?"

"Yes, and I knew exactly what your reaction would be. Tori," Kary sighed, "I'm seventeen years old. I know you're trying to look out for me, but you're too over protective. Besides Inuyasha and I go way back. You could go as far to say that we knew each other before we met."

"Inuyasha, you better take care of her," Tori glared at the hanyou.

"Feh!" Inuyasha growled at the boy, "I do that already!"

"KAWAII!" Sakura ran into the bathroom and went for Inuyasha's ears.

"Freeze!" Kary growled at her younger cousin. Sakura froze, "Sakura, you were being rude. This is Inuyasha, he's my friend, and you're embarrassing me!"

Sakura dropped her gaze to the floor, "Sorry, Kary. It's just I've never seen a boy with dog ears before."

"I know, but aren't they cute?" Kary laughed when Sakura nodded quickly and Inuyasha turned red.

"YOU'VE HAD A BOY IN YOUR ROOM?" Sea shrieked angrily.

"Mom," Kary backed into Inuyasha. "He's my friend and…"

"KARY KAGOME KINOMOTO!" Sea screamed. "YOU ARE A DISCRASE TO THIS FAMILY! PACK YOUR BAGS! YOU'RE MOVING IN WITH YOUR GANDFATHER!"

"But mom…"

"NO!" Sea was glowing an angry red, when she tried to grab Kary.

Inuyasha pulled Kary out of Sea's range, "Leave her alone."

"YOU FILTHY HEATHEN! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Sea's giant boomerang appeared. Kary felt Inuyasha pick her up, and carry her out the window. "HE'S KIDNAPPING MY DAUGHTER!"

"It's not kidnapping if I want to leave, mother," Kary frowned from a tree. "Thank you, Inuyasha."

"Feh! You want to get your stuff and leave with me?"

"To find the Shikon no Tama?"

"Well, yeah… I guess," Inuyasha cocked his head.

"Put the girl down, demon," a cold voice demanded.

"Who are you?" Inuyasha glared.

"That isn't important," the voice replied.

"Inuyasha, do you know this guy?" Kary asked and looked up at him curiously.

"Are you so stupid as to go with a demon?"

"Who the hell are you? You have no sense at all if you didn't know that Inuyasha isn't a full youkai. He's my friend!" Kary glared at the figure.

"S-Sakura will be sad if you leave," a boy stepped out from the shadows.

"Sakura is my cousin, and the only time she's sad is when some Li-kid is mean to her or one of her family or friends is hurt!" Kary stared at the boy, "I know! You're the kid she wrote to me about. If you break her heart… my family will never let you near her again!"

"How did you know?" Li murmured.

"Who else would be such an idiot, except for the wimpy wolf-boy, Jaken, Miroku, and Wood?" Kary sighed in annoyance.

"Why isn't my name on that list?" Inuyasha asked.

"You can be an idiot, but usually, you're just being stubborn," Kary blushed. "I'm the same way."

"You gonna tell Sakura?" Li stared at the ground.

"Nope, but I'm gonna suggest that the three of us get Tori, Shiko, and Sakura out of the house before my mom goes insane, again," Kary sighed. "It's like every time she touches that stupid boomerang she's mad enough to be…" Kary got as close to Inuyasha as she could, "Inuyasha, could she be Sango?"

"Miroku is Wood," Inuyasha frowned. "I guess it is possible."

"HELP!" someone screamed from the house.

"SHIKO!" Kary jumped away from Inuyasha, out of the tree, bashed through the door, and stood panting between her mother and her sister. "You okay Shiko?"

"Kary…" Shiko was about to cry.

"Shh, stay behind me, everything will be fine," Kary planted her feet firmly into the ground she was standing. Sea Kinomoto lunged forward. Kary held her fists by her sides, when a blast of power flew out of her body, knocking Sea Kinomoto to the ground, unconscious.

"Kary?" Shiko ran to her big sister and hugged her tightly.

"Shh, I told you everything would be fine," Kary soothed her younger sibling.

"Kary, what happened?" Tori came out from a room with Sakura behind him.

"She went crazy, again." Kary closed her eyes tiredly, "Shiko, go pack, we're leaving."

"Where are we going?"

"With Inuyasha," Kary yawned. "Sakura, your boyfriend is here."

"HER WHAT?" Tori yelped.

"Li's here?" Sakura blushed.

"You guys should pack as well; it isn't safe to stay when she goes crazy."

"Kary!" Inuyasha ran through the door followed by Li. Inuyasha sighed in relief.

"Li, would you please help Inuyasha pack plenty of food? We're going to need a lot of ramen," Kary handed Li and Inuyasha two huge book bags.
