(AN: ok this is my first story and i like it. it has some relations with inuyasha and outlaw star but meh. ok now the only thing you need to know is that the dog demon's thoughts are now in /these things/ ok? ok! haha ok enjoy the story.)

the littel whelp woke up with the bright moon over head. he looked at the sky then at his friends grave. the littel demon sighed heavely. "what am i gonna do?" suddenly his stomach began to hurt. "mabey i should eat first ?" he sniffed the air then he noticed a wonderfull aroma. every animal instinct in his body sarted to kick in. he wanted that food saliva gathered in his mouth. /sooo hungry/ he began to run to the smell. never had he been so hungry and he had never run this fast on a empty stomach.

the boy saw a small house at the edge of a littel village in the distance from where the smell came. he slowed down and took in the sounds around him. it was quiet every now and then he heard a bird chirp or a horse whinny but other than that it was quite. the demon snuck up to the window of the first house he peeked inside. it was so nice everything smelt clean everything looked soft and inviting. the child slowly crept through the open window. on the tabel he saw food and lots of it. his mind went blank all he could think of was the food. he didnt even noticed he had a visitor.

"HEY! waddu ya think yur doin'?" the boy stopped and turned to see a massive figure. "AHHHHHH!!!" /please dont hurt me dont bring me back there./ the kid knocked over a chair as he backed towards the wall. "who are you?" the man boomed. the littel demon just whimperd. "hey im not gonna hurt ya just tell me your name son." the gaints voice was now gentel and kind. the demon started to relax. "comon now boy whats your name..." "i.. i dont know." the littel demon's voice was all shy. the man reached to touch the demon. the demon quikly backed away. "ok ill just call you boy then ok?" "o..k.." "my name is balthasar but all my friends call me bud. you can call me bud too. now your filthy lets get you cleaned up ok?" the kid just gave him a confused look. bud smiled then signaled for him to follow. the boy got up alittel shakelly and followed.

bud lead him to a room with a large baisin and a mirror. "ok now get undressed." bud instructed. (AN:ok the whole get undressed thing is not some perverted act of desperation. to clear up the unclear. hes in a bathroom what do you expect. ohh yeah and the demon will have a name!! ha ok back to the story.XD) the demon child took off his shirt reaveling the horrible scar on his chest and the few scars on his back. "holy cow!! are you ok? there are wounds all over you!! here hop in the tub i was going to take a bath but i guess you need it more." the littel demon climbed into the tub and soaked. "ok boy heres the soap." bud handed him the soap. the boy took it and bit it. then quickly spat it out. "uhhhh thats no good...." bud started laughing hysterically "you gotta be kidding!!hahaha here ill show you." bud grabed the soap and latherd it on liams back. "boy you remind me of my littel girl." /whats a girl? hmmm.../ "you can meet her tomorrow. ok?" "ok!"

the kid finished his bath got dressed in new clothes then had some food. the food was great. "boy can you ever *YAWN* eat. ohh im tired hmm you can sleep in the room at the end of the hall." "your letting me stay here?" bud looked at the littel demon. "yeah i guess i am.." bud smiled. bud soon led the child down the hall on the way he pointed out the girl's room. /what is a girl is it food? i like food! i hope its food! like a big peice of cake cake is great! thats what the yummy thing i got at the end of food was! man i really want to know!!/ bud showed him to his room. "thank you bud." bud turned and smiled. "your very welcome." then bud left. the kid lay in his new bed on his back. /its sooo frikin comfy.....mmmmm.....still i want to know what a girl is. rrrr i cant take it!/ the demon began to scratch his head in irratation. "ok thats it!!" he whisperd to himself. "im...going in!" the kid silently crept out of his room and into the hall. he stay hunched before the door. he slowly turned the handel to the door and slipped inside. the smell in there was magical he glared around then he saw it.
