"Kagome's Puppy Troubles"

Xio: Hi, my loyal fans!
Minnie: What loyal fans?
Xio: …… Err, well anyways, if you're wondering why I left my other story in the lurch, it's because I have lost my inspiration for it… And this one won't leave me alone, much like a certain dog I know…
Minnie: ……… Hey! That's mean!
Xio: Hope you like the story, Ja Ne!
Minnie: Hey wait! I still have to get you back for that remark!

Chapter One: Sweet Sixteen
"Rise and shine, Kagome! It's morning already!" yelled Kagome's mom from the bottom of the stairs.
Kagome groaned before she remembered what today was. She got dressed at the speed of light and rushed down the stairs.
"Can I have my presents now? Please?" Kagome wheedled shamelessly.
"Sorry birthday girl, but you'll have to wait until after breakfast," chided her mother.
"Okay, so let's eat already! I'm starved, and I want my presents!" exclaimed Kagome cheerfully.
"Young lady is that all you ever think about?" screeched her grandpa shrilly.
"Well, a person's sixteenth birthday only comes once in a lifetime! I think I have a right to be excited," said Kagome.
They finished breakfast and Souta brought out the presents. "Okay sis, this one's from me. Open it quickly!" said Souta with enthusiasm.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Kagome grinned as she ripped off the wrapping paper and opened the box. "Wow, I don't know what to say… it's beautiful! Thanks Souta!" she cried out happily, looking at the silver necklace with a pretty silver fox charm. Souta helped her put it on.
"Here's my gift young lady, use it well. With all the demons you face, you'll need it," stated her grandpa smugly. Kagome opened it with trembling fingers. 'Knowing Grandpa, it's a mummified demon, or some demon body parts, or something else creepy,' she thought nervously. She was shocked when she saw what it actually was.
"Grandpa, you got me a sword! Thank you so much! I was afraid you got me a demon arm like last time or something. This sword will definitely come in handy. I mean, with all the trouble I get into in the feudal era and everything…" said Kagome gratefully.
"That was the mummified arm of a kappa! You should have been pleased with it, not let the cat eat it!"
"Hey, when I fed it to Bouyo I was pleased! He even enjoyed it too! You should be happy I had fun with it."
"Well I gave it to you, so I naturally assumed you'd wear it as a good luck talisman, like it was meant to be used, not feed it to that overgrown tabby."
"Kagome honey, do you want to go and pick out your present from me? I thought you might like that this year," interrupted her mother smoothly.
"Yeah, cool, let's go!" and with that Kagome bounced outside and skipped into the car cheerfully. "Hurry up mom!" she yelled.
"Coming dear, just let me grab my purse."
*************************Downtown Tokyo*************************
As they drove, Kagome noticed a pet shop with several puppies in the window. "Mom, can we go look at the puppies please? They're so cute!"
"Okay dear," They stopped at the pet shop, and a squealing Kagome led her mother into the shop heading straight for the puppies. "I want one," said Kagome excitedly.
~ The white puppy in the shop minutes before Kagome's arrival~
'That girl's coming closer. Oh, no she just picked ME! But I can't go with her, she has a mean aura.' "Grr!" growled the puppy. You won't take me! You aren't the right type for me! she barked. The pet shop's cashier tried to pick her up, but the puppy bit her. The cashier promptly dropped her. Oww! cried the puppy.
"You know," said the girl "I think I'd rather have a pretty parrot instead." The grateful cashier rang up the girl's purchases, her parents paid for it, and then they left.
After they left, a tall, pretty girl with soulful brown eyes and beautiful, slightly wavy black hair rushed towards us, with a person who was obviously her mother close behind. She looked straight at me, and I could feel her kindness and excitement pouring from her in waves, and smelled it on her soothing scent. She was the one, I was positive. I walked over to her, wagged my tell, and woofed hello.
~ Kagome, in the pet shop, moments before the puppy's reactions ~
I saw the white puppy and fell in love. It was gorgeous! I rushed to the puppies, hoping to see what kind of attitude the pup had. To my surprise, it walked right up to me, looked me in the eye, wagged it's tail, and barked. I was sure I knew what it said. Before I thought about it I asked, "You just said hello didn't you?" Luckily, I did a cooing 'girl talking to cute puppies' voice and no one noticed, but I winked at the puppy. Somehow, I knew what it said, and the puppy looked shocked, before standing on its hind legs, begging to be picked up. I quickly noticed she was a girl before I took her into my arms. She snuggled into me contentedly. "Mom," I called, holding the puppy, "I want her as my birthday present!" To my surprise, mom agreed.
"Let's see, water bowl, food bowl, leash, collar, a few toys, and of course, the puppy," Kagome's mother said to the cashier. "I think that's all, don't you Kagome?"
"Yeah, I think so," mumbled Kagome absently as she was petting her new puppy as it snuggled comfortably into her arms.
"Wonder why she likes you so much… When I tried to pick her up to sell her to another girl, she bit me… Was it me, or the thought of that girl buying her?" said the cashier almost sulkily. She rang up their purchase, Kagome's mother paid for it, and they left.
~The white puppy in the shop after being picked up~
'She's so nice, and soft, and she smells like cherries and spring rain! She's wonderful… No, she's perfect!' thought the puppy as she shamelessly snuggled into Kagome. 'I will always stand by you, and protect you to the best of my ability. You are too perfect to lose!'
*************************Higurashi Shrine*************************
"So dear, have you thought about what to do with her when you go to the feudal era?" asked Kagome's mother.
"I'm going to take her with me!"
'The feudal era? That's the past isn't it? How can you go there? I suppose I'll find out…' thought the puppy.
"What if she can't go through?"
"Then you'll have to take care of her for me… Please?" said Kagome shamelessly.
"Of course. So, what's her name?"
"Hmm, Cherri?"
No way! barked the puppy.
"No? Then Melody?"
How about Kuri? I think it's cute! replied the puppy in a bark.
"Kuri it is!" said Kagome.
"You never said that one dear…"
"I know, the puppy did!"
Kagome's mother stared at her, but was interrupted by Kagome's little brother.
"Hey sis. Wow, cute puppy!" exclaimed Souta, rushing towards them.
"Her name is Kuri. What do you think of the collar? Black leather looks good on her don't you think?" asked Kagome.
"She's really cool! What are you going to do about the feudal era?"
"Try to take her with me!"
"What about InuYasha? What will he think?"
'He's right! I never thought about what InuYasha would do. Well, I'll just sit him if he tries anything.' thought Kagome. "Oh, hopefully he won't mind. Oh yeah, I promised I'd be back sometime this afternoon, so I need to pack.
'Her brother seems nice,' thought Kuri cheerfully, 'but I don't like how nervous Kagome got about this InuYasha person.'
Kagome packed her new puppy's bowls, toys, and some extra ramen. "Don't worry about one thing Kuri, I'll never feed you dog food. Unless mom makes me of course… But she said you could have leftovers so…"
Kuri grinned a doggy grin, 'This is great! I've got a great owner who understands me, listens to me, and won't feed me dog food! How perfect can life get?' she thought.
Pretty soon Kagome had finished packing, said her goodbyes, and with her pack on her back and Kuri in her arms she jumped into the engulfing blue light of the well.
Xio: Well, what do you think?
Minnie: I think you put in too many cliffies!
Xio: I wasn't asking you, I was asking the readers!
Minnie: You're evil.
Xio: I know. If you want my other story continued, I need ideas. I hate putting up short chapters because I hate them myself, but I can't think of any more than bits and pieces for the next chapter of my first story. Well, help if ya want, and please review! Ja Ne!
