"Kagome's Puppy Troubles"
By Xio the Dog Demoness
Xio: Bonjour tout le monde!
Minnie: Stop showing off! Sorry, she just said hello everyone.
Xio: Heh heh, I just got a 108 on a French test, and since I'm so pleased with the grade, I thought I'd please you guys with a new chapter!
Minnie: So enjoy!
Xio: Oh, there will be Kikyo bashing. Sorry all you Kikyo lovers, but I have to do this for the plot. Besides, I really don't like her… Also, InuYasha will be a little OOC. Ja Ne!
Disclaimer: I only own Kuri in this story so far, but I'm working on grabbing Sesshomaru!

********************Last time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles********************
"Thanks Kuri… It's just that, when I needed his help, InuYasha was with Kikyo… Don't I matter at all?"
Of course you do, Kagome! You mean the world to me, and to Shippo as well. And what about Sango, Kirara, Miroku, and even Kaede? We're all here for you, my friend.
"Kuri, I'm so glad I got you. Thank you for comforting me." Suddenly tired, Kagome fell asleep. Kuri snuggled beside her. 'What are friends for?'
********************This time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles********************
Chapter Three: It's Not What It Seems!
InuYasha sat wide-eyed on Kaede's roof. 'How could she get it so wrong? Is it because I saw Kikyo so many times before? I was just trying to help Kagome. At least, I was this time…'
============================Flashback============================
Kikyo sat on a limb in the Goshimboku Tree. InuYasha stood underneath. "Listen, Kikyo, you can't kill Kagome. It won't change anything anyways. I won't go to Hell with you, because I love Kagome!"
"Oh, but InuYasha, would it not help me? If she was gone, then we could be together forever. That is why I must kill her. I must do it for us!"
"No Kikyo, I would kill you before you could harm Kagome. We aren't meant to be."
"Yes we are! Why else would I have been resurrected?"
"It was a mistake made by Ursasue. (A/N: How do you spell it?) You don't belong in the world of the living!"
Kikyo was quiet a minute. "…You owe me your life, InuYasha! Have you forgotten?"
"No, I have not forgotten, but the truth is, I never owed you my life. I realize that you blame me, but I don't care any longer. Naraku tricked us, and that's not my fault. In fact, it's your fault. You didn't trust me. You made it easy for Naraku to trick you, and because you did so you ended up cursing me to a 50 year sleep on the Goshimboku. You used the last of your energy to trap me, and in doing so ended your own life. You're to blame, not me."
By then Kikyo was raving. "No! No! I don't believe you! If I kill Kagome, I'll be all you'll have left. Then you'll come crawling back to me, begging for me to bring you to Hell."
"Kikyo, you're insane! Don't you hear what you're saying?"
"I don't care, no one else will have you! You are mine, and mine alone!"
"I don't belong to you. I may have cared for you once, but no longer. My heart is Kagome's."
Kikyo's soul collectors swooped around the undead miko, before they wrapped around her and carried her into the sky. "InuYasha, I will wait for you to realize you belong with me. I will wait as long as it takes. You will be mine."
As Kikyo floated away she laughed cruelly. 'Let's see how long it takes for him to realize Kagome is being attacked. She will be out of my way soon enough. Then InuYasha will gladly follow me to Hell, if only to escape the pain of loneliness!'
=================================================================
'If I knew she felt the same way, I would tell her,' thought InuYasha. 'I just don't wanna be hurt. I'll try to explain things tomorrow. I just hope she'll believe me.' He leapt to a nearby tree and settled down to sleep.
The next morning, everyone awoke to a nervous hanyou and a cold as ice miko. "I said back off, InuYasha!"
"But Kagome, I…"
"I don't wanna hear your excuses, so don't bother making a fool of yourself."
Kagome, InuYasha seems pretty subdued. You know I'm not a fan of his, but listening to his side of things is only right and fair. It couldn't hurt, barked Kuri, for once taking the hanyou's side.
"You're right Kuri… It just hurts, and I don't wanna hear him lie to me…" said Kagome, ignoring InuYasha pointedly.
"Please, just hear me out!" begged InuYasha.
"Okay, fine, but Kuri comes too."
Though she wouldn't admit it for the world, Kagome was unnerved by InuYasha's plea. 'He's never begged me, or anyone else, for anything.'
InuYasha pulled Kagome onto his back with Kuri sitting in her pack, and carried them to a lovely meadow. Kagome, however, was too upset to enjoy it.
"Kagome, I know you must think that I was off with Kikyo, and the truth is that I was… but I was only trying to get her to leave you alone."
"She hasn't been anywhere near me, lately… Just when she stole the Jewel from me…"
"Kagome, she wants you dead."
What?!?
"Why, InuYasha?"
"Because I will not go to Hell with her."
Inside Kagome was joyful, 'He will live! He won't go to Hell with her,' but she had to know. "Why not?"
InuYasha was crestfallen. "So you want me to go with her?"
"I just want you to be happy. I thought being with Kikyo made you happy."
Kuri stared at both of them. 'It's so obvious they love each other. Why don't those two just tell each other how they feel and get it over with already!'
"I, well, um… I just… well it's just that I'd rather… um… I'dratherbewithyou…" he mumbled quickly. (A/N: If ya can't read that, it says I'd rather be with you.)
Xio: Wow, you guys must hate me. InuYasha's so OOC it's sweet, and I ended it when he admitted he wanted to be with Kagome.
Minnie: Hope you guys don't mind!
Xio: *ducks rotten egg* I think they do! *cowers under table* Kuri's gonna be kinda important in my next chapter. Oh, and I might have someone you know, and quite possibly love, visit in the next chapter. Won't say who, but guess all you like!
Minnie: We do realize it's a short chapter, but Xio's had to write poetry for Honors English, translate Valentines for French, and write papers in Honors Geography.
Xio: Now for one of my favorite parts: responding to my faithful reviewers! They are as follows: pattycake, Sesshomarusqueen, WhiteDragon354, Miroku at heart, Pinayazngrl, Tiffchan, Mitsue, Ser, bloodbunny. Thank you everyone! Ja Ne!
