Dear Inuyasha, as a loyal fan I believe that you should throw yourself at my feet and declare yourself my property.

Love, Avalonian Witch

Avalonian Witch,

IN YOUR DREAMS.

Inu : P

AN: I know I said that I would update sooner, but umm . . . there's Pocky in it for you if I don't get any flames! O.o Pocky saves all. On other news after CinderRin, The Little MerKag, and Sleeping Sango are over I am going to be adding three new stories to the Inu Tales Series! Yay!

The Little MerKag

Bonding and Dealing

Chapter Nine

~*~*~*~ Last Time ~*~*~*~

"I'm afraid . . . there is no choice."

"Kagome must return to the sea."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nodding Kikyou walked out, clutching in front of her, the seashell necklace that he had told her that his mother had given to her, and an evil grin on her face . . . . ..

~*~*~*~ Now ~*~*~*~

Kagome took a sip of the soup that she had been served for breakfast. She was wearing an uncomfortable pair of 'jeans' and a dark blue 'tee-shirt'. It seemed as if everyone was intent on avoiding her, even Rin had claimed to have 'a previous engagement with Sesshoumaru.' Frowning she slurped the alphabet shaped letters into her mouth as she wondered how she could get out of this deal with Kikyou. Of course, all thoughts of the evil sea-miko were interrupted when a shirtless Inuyasha walked into the kitchen.

"Oh. . . I didn't know you were here."

Kagome stared down into her soup as if it were suddenly incredibly interesting.

"Umm. . . Kikyou went shopping for a wedding dress, you don't want to go out do you?"

Immediately Kagome raised her head as she pointed out the window towards the ocean, an excited look in her previously averted eyes. Inuyasha grinned and nodded,

"Alright, just let me go change."

~*~*~*~ Elsewhere ~*~*~*~

"With this seashell I do bind, Inuyasha's heart to mine. As long as it remains intact, May Kagome, Inuyasha's love lack" (I can't rhyme . Shut up)

Kikyou let out a chuckle as she prepared to drop the seashell necklace into the pot of seawater she had cast the incantation upon, but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"I have a deal to make with you Kikyou."

"Why. . . Lady Yukiko. . ."

~*~*~*~ Beachside ~*~*~*~

Inuyasha let out a scream as Kagome splashed him again as she rose from the water that she had been hiding in. Already it seemed as if he knew her more than he knew. . . other women. . . He could see the pain in her eyes that was masked by the temporary joy in them.

"Kagome? Where are you from?"

This was her chance. Point to the ocean! Do something. So many thoughts ran through Kagome's head so quickly that she barely noticed that Inuyasha had let out a strangled cry, until she looked up to see what had shocked him so. . .

"Mother. . .?"

AN: O.O POCKY!
