The next day was a rainy one. A thunderstorm shook the house. Surprisingly Inuyasha had survived past sundown, but was suffering greatly. Kagome had decided to put Inu to sleep. She got her raincoat and boots, telling her mother she was going to walk to the vet. "Are you sure you want to do this?" her mother asked for the ten thousandth time. Kagome nodded and walked out the door.
The walk was a long one, about 45 minutes. As she walked, Kagome looked back on the time she had with her dog. The day she found him. She was about 9 years old when she spotted a brown leather sack floating in the river. Hurriedly she picked it out of the water to find two small white puppies in it. The pups were young, less than a month according to her mother, and badly wounded. When her grandfather examined the bullet wound in each pup he identified it as a SPAZ-14 Shotgun, close range. Kagome wanted to keep both pups but her mother said only one. So, she gave the other one to her friend, Rin. She would have given him to Miroku but his father kept cats, lots of cats, 24 to be exact. "Besides", her mother had said, "It will be hard enough to take care of one." Kagome was fascinated by her new pup. When they took him to the vet she asked him tons of questions. "What kind is it? How old is it? Is it a boy or a girl? Is it neutered?" The vet just smiled. "Well, this pup is a little boy. He's about 4 weeks old and appears to be a mix." Kagome jumped up and down excitedly. "Mix of what? Mix of what?!" The vet smiled again as he placed bandages around the pup's shoulders, where the bullet wound was. "Well, a husky and something. Probably German shepherd." Kag's mom was easily worried. "Aren't German shepherds those vicious guard dogs? I don't want this thing jeopardizing my children." The vet handed the puppy back to his little girl. "Don't worry madam, shepherds are trained to be vicious. Treat this pup with love and he will be an excellent family pet as well as a wonderful guard dog. I'm sure he'd rather jump off a bridge than to bite your little girl."
Kagome now knows how true that statement was. Inu never bit anyone or even tried to. Sure he would play bite his brother but that was it. A year later, Kag's family found out that Inu wasn't neutered. The dog next door was to have puppies, Inu's puppies. Kagome wanted one of the puppies but again her mother said "Only one dog." Well now she has none. She finally reached the vet's office to find Rin waiting. Sesshomaru was as bad as his brother and was to be put down as well. "Shall we?" Rin asked sheepishly. Kagome nodded. They walked in to see the vet waiting for them. "This way." He said, motioning them to follow. He led them into a large room in the back with four small operating tables in the center. On one, Inuyasha was lying on his side. His eyes were open but no life shone in them, only pain. On another was Sesshomaru on his stomach, his eyes only half open. The girls walked over to their dogs and waited, running their hands down each dog's side. "You sure you want to do this." The vet asked for the last time. They nodded.
The vet signaled to his assistants, each on the opposite side of the dogs. They took the dogs' foreleg and injected it with something. Rin looked up at the vet through tear filled eyes. "This won't hurt, will it?" The vet shook his head. "No, it'll just put him to sleep and then his heart will stop." Kagome looked down to see her dog's eyes closing slowly. She leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I'll miss you. The house will never be the same. Neither will I. I love you." A loud crash of thunder shook the room. Inuyasha's eyes opened wide and Kagome saw something deep down inside them. She blinked. When she looked again the dog was dead. "He's coming back." The vet looked at her strangely. "What?" Kag swallowed hard. "I saw it in his eyes, Inuyasha is coming back."
Cue the freaky music. *da da da dunnnn* Getting scary now, ne? I love that word. Ne, ne, ne, ne ... ...
Sorry it took so long to upload. I've had it forever but I guess I forgot about it. Oh well! Better late than never, right? R&R.
