Kagome slowly awoke to the pleasant chirping of birds the next morning, the sunlight strained her eyes as it seeped through the old building's windows. She tried to block it out by pulling the 'blanket' over her head but no such luck. She softly shifted on the bed but sleeping all day trying to hide from the sun wasn't going to clean the old building she called her house or get any of the food shopping done. She slowly sat up, blushing as she saw the figure of the wounded boy sleeping soundly next to her.

He had his back turned on her and would every so often let out a very silent whim or purr as he slept. Kagome smiled to herself and gave the hanyou's ear a small caress as her gentle hand ran over its soft fur. She slowly retracted her hand and stood up. Silently walking over to the small wooden table in the corner of the room. She opened the compartment in the table reveling a small brown cloth bag. Snatched the bag, put on a cloak and silently left for the small town that was located a short distance from her residence.

Kagome strolled the Town's market looking for something edible she could buy for breakfast, her stomach demanded food and as soon as that boy woke up she would need to feed him to.

While lost in thought she accidentally bumped into another peasant, afraid that she would be harassed like she was last time, she apologized meaningfully and dusted off the other peasant's shoulder that she had bumped into.

"Oh dear I am so sorry" Kagome apologized. The peasant appeared to be a boy about the same age as her maybe a year older and he had sandy blonde hair with brown eyes.

"No I should be apologizing it was me who was clumsy, I am truly sorry. My name is Hojo... and who might you be?" Hojo gave Kagome friendly smile.

Kagome blushed and shook his outstretched hand "I am Kagome Higurashi!" She seemed to reply to his question a bit to swiftly and blushed an even more vibrant shade of crimson.

Hojo smiled again "well I'm sorry if this has been short, but I need to hurry and get some fabrics for the seamstress at the castle before she takes my head, bye Kagome, see you later!" with a wave of his hand Hojo quickly jogged away.

Kagome smiled and continued walking 'odd boy, but pretty cute!' she giggled softly then headed to the food market on the west side of town quickly so she would be back by time her guest woke up.

Inuyasha slowly woke from his nights slumber and scratched the thinly layered skin under his arms below his armpits then stretched, he had to admit that, that had been the best he'd slept in ages. His eyes looked droopy and he sat on the pile of hay cross legged. Looking over to his side he noticed the girl had left. This made Inuyasha feel a bit down and thought of reasons why she had left. 'She must have run away... They all ran when they saw me, I'm a hideous beast.'

Inuyasha had yet discovered what he was and was trying to figure out what had changed in him, he's still had his sanity obviously but his appearance was different. His hearing and sense of smell had undoubtedly increased immensely. Bringing his hands up to the two fluffy white triangles atop his head, he slowly ran his fingers over the tips of his ears. 'Dog ears...hmm there's one thing that's changed physically about me.' He slowly ran his tongue over the over sized canines in his mouth. 'Alright there's two' Inuyasha then looked at his hands and looked at his fingernails. As much as he had not wanted to admit it even though it was true, he found he had been turned into a dog demon, but he still held half the appearance of a mortal human. He was a hanyou! A Hybrid! A mix between demon and human.

Inuyasha let out an exasperated sigh, and held his arms skyward in anger "what the hell happened to me!?!"

Just then the door to the small building opened and in came Kagome with a peachy smile on her face holding 3 bags of edible goods in hand. Inuyasha looked her way hands still held high in the air from his little tantrum.

"Oh am I interrupting something?" Kagome cocked her eyebrow at Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked to his hands and then back at Kagome then lowered them while giving a small nervous chuckle.

"Oh...um...no... I was just umm... stretching! Yeah that's it! Its always nice to have a good stretch in the morning heheh" Kagome looked at him with a an expression that clearly said 'Rriiiiiiiiight' While Inuyasha pretended to stretch.

"Well I went into the market and bought some things for us to eat, it will last us at least a week or so. Come sit down at the table, I want to ask you a few questions" Kagome gave Inuyasha a sweet smile. The hanyou just crossed his arms and walked over to the said table "whatever..." he said followed by a rued grunt.

Inuyasha took a seat on one of the stools in front of the table, which was situated across from where Kagome sat. "well first of all may I ask what your name is? I don't believe you told me...."

Silence.

Inuyasha looked a bit nervous as she repeated the question. "Uhh my name is err.."

long pause

"My name is..... Teeto......" 'If I tell her my real name she might attack me for how rude I was yesterday....'

Kagome eyed him suspiciously and then smiled "interesting name, I guess its because you're and interesting looking person!" Kagome chirped. Inuyasha sweat-dropped, this girl was gullible........

Kagome smiled and asked her second question "So what exactly are you and where did you come from" Inuyasha thought for a minute before answering her question "I'm a...Dog Demon and I was on my way to this town..... to visit some relatives when the guards started to attack me, I guess they don't take to kindly to demons..." Kagome looked at him with a sympathetic smile "you were a total mess when I found you, I needed to get you away from the guards because it looked like they were going to slay you."

Kagome sighed and stood up grabbing her cloak and heading toward the door "I'm going for a walk, would you like to come?" Inuyasha keh'd and crossed his arms "whatever" He walked over to the haystack and grabbed his white undershirt and slipped it on, then slowly walked over to Kagome, following her outside.

STOP!
