Chapter 10
After the little 'adventure' Kagome seemed to be a little more happier. She smiled more often, she offered to help Sango with stuff, and she was just starting to enjoy life again.
"I just don't get it, Miroku. Its like she's a different person. I haven't seen her this happy in a long time." Sango was saying on night while she was out on a date with Miroku.
Miroku smiled and draped an arm around Sango's shoulders. "She's beginning to heal. And it would seem that the dog she found is helping her." He replied with a grin.
Sango had a thoughtful look on her face. "I just kept the mutt 'cause it made her smile." She said thoughtfully.
Miroku smiled again. "Dogs can do many things. Heck, this dog might even get Kagome to start coming back into the real world." He said, slipping his hand to Sango's waist.
Sango was still in thought and didn't notice the switch of positions from Miroku's hands. "If that dog can do that I'd buy it a stake." Sango said.
Miroku suddenly had an idea. "I'll bet you that the dog will get Kagome back into the world in one week." He said with a glint in his violet eyes.
Sango was never one to back down from a bet. "What will you get if your right?" She asked with a glint in her own eyes.
Miroku was thoughtful for a minute and then smiled. "If I win I get groping privileges for a week with no slapping." He said with a perverted grin.
Sango thought for a moment before smiling evilly. She leaned up and whispered in Miroku's ear.
Miroku's eyes widened. "I can't do that!" He said.
Sango grinned slyly at Miroku. "What's the matter, Miroku? Are you a chicken?" She asked in a taunting tone.
Miroku frowned. "I may be a hentai at times, Sango, but I am no chicken! I accept your bet." He said and held out his hand.
Sango grinned and grabbed Miroku's hand. "It's a bet." She said and shook his hand.
"Now, shall we finish our date?" Miroku asked and put his arm back around Sango's waist.
Sango smiled and began walk into the movie theater when she suddenly felt something rubbing her behind. "Hentai!" She yelled and whirled around and slapped the man so hard that he fell to the ground.
The little out burst caused many people to stare at the fuming girl and the man on the ground with the red hand print on his face.
"Nobody has won the bet, Miroku, so I suggest you contain yourself before I make it so you don't have any kids." Sango said with fire in her eyes.
Miroku got to his feet and smiled at Sango. "Ah, my dear Sango, you are right. Lets just enojy the movie." He said and held open the door for her.
Sango smiled and walked through the door.
When Sango was ahead if him, Miroku brought his hand up to his face. "Ow." He muttered and rubbed the hand shaped mark on his cheek before he followed Sango.

Kagome was sitting in her usual chair, but she wasn't stairing at the wall blankly for once. She was nemt over tying her shoe.
Yasha was sitting near by with his red leash in his mouth. 'Would you hurry up, wench?' He asked even though he knew that she couldn't understand him.
Kirara, was lounging on the back of a chair, looked at him and gave a lazy yawn. 'If I didn't know any better, Yasha, I'd say uoi enjoy spendinh time with Kagome.' she said while licking her front paw.
Inuyasha growled at the two tailed cat. 'Well think again. This stinkin dog body has a lot of energy that going for walks is the only way to get rid of it.' He growled out.
"Yasha, don't be mean to the cat." Kagome said as she straightened and looked in the direction where she had heard Yasha growling.
Inuyasha whipped his head around and glared at the blind woman. 'She's the one who's acting like she's better than me.' He barked.
Kirara tilted her head to the side. 'But Yasha, cats ARE better than dogs.' She purred.
Inuyasha began to growl again. 'Why you good for nothing cat!' He growled out. He stopped growling when Kagome reached out and gently slapped his nose.
"I said be nice." Kagome said as she picked her walking stick and made her way towards the kitchen.
Inuyasha plopped down. 'I should bite her hand.' He mumbled.
Kirara jumped off of the couch and sat next to the pouting dog. 'But you won't.' She said.
Inuyasha glanced at the cat out of the corner of his eye. 'And what makes you think I won't?' He asked in an irritated voice.
Kirara looked at him with her red eyes. 'You won't because your instinks won't allow you to.' She said with a hint of arrogance in her voice.
Inuyasha just grumbled some more and looked away. He knwe that the cat was telling the truth. He had tried to bite the blind girl once, but something kept stopping him from doing more than growling at her.
Kagome came back into the room just then. "Yasha, cmon, lets see how far I can go this time." Kagome said and knelt down on the floor, holding her hands out so that she could feel for Yasha.
Inuyasha rolled his golden eyes and walked over to Kagome, plopping the leash into her hands.
Kagome snapped the leash on to Inuyasha's red collar and slowly stood up and opened the door.
Inuyasha blinked his eyes when the bright sunlight hit them. 'Hn, she's actually gonna go outside with out fighting the whole way? Maybe there is hope for this wench after all.' He thought and began to walk forward.
Kagome was still tentive about stepping out of the house, but she took a brave step off of the porch and nearly tripped on the bottom step but she caught herself by grabbing on to Yasha's back.
"It's a good thing you're a big dog, Yasha, other wise I'd be sprawled out on the side walk right now." Kagome said while she straightened.
Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and took a step in front of Kagome so she could feel the pressure on the leash and follow him.
Kagome took another step forward, this time with out tripping, and followed her dog. 'I wonder why I trust this dog so much? He hasn't even been in my life for an entire week and yet I just feel like he's been here for ever.' She thought as she took another step.
With each step Kagome took she felt a little more confident.
They were now at the ending of the side walk, where they had stopped yesterday on their first little walk.
Inuyasha stopped and waited for Kagome to decide what to do. 'I bet thet wench will wanna turn back now.' He thought as he began to turn around and walk back towards the house. He was stopped by a gentle tug on his leash.
"Where do you think your going, Yasha? I'm not ready to go back yet." She said and gave another gentle tug on the leash to turn Inuyasha in the other direction.
Inuyasha shrugged his dog shoulders and turned back around and began to walk down the left side walk.
It was a beautiful summer day and the warm sunlight felt wonderful on Kagome's back. 'Its been so long since I've felt the sun.' She thought and lifted her face up and let the sun shine fully on her face, shutting her blind eyes in the process.
Inuyasha was also enjoying the walking when he suddenly heard a little annoying voice. 'Hey, hey dog, what are you doing?' A little voice asked.
Inuyasha glanced down and saw a little fox puppy come running up to him, its little legs running as fast as they could.
The fox had light brown fur with a bushy tail and bright green eyes.
Inuyasha tilted his head to the side and felt the dogs curiosity begin to arise. 'I'm walking, what's it look like I'm doing, runt?' He asked as he watched the little fox.
The little fox puppy was so small compared to Inuyasha large husky body that it looked like Inuyasha could squash the little creature under his foot.
The small fox finally made it to Inuyasha and began to walk beside him. 'Is your human taking your for a walk?' He asked and tilted his head back to look up at Inuyash.
Inuyasha shook his head. 'It's the other way around, runt, I'm taking her for a walk.' He replied and glanced back at the blind girl.
Kagome still had her head tilted back, enjoying the sun. she turned her head towards Yasha when she heard a little yip and a grunt from Yasha. "Did you find a little friend, Yasha?" She asked and knelt down and held out her hands.
The fox pup tilted his head to the side. 'What's she doing? How come she's not trying to pet me?' He asked and glanced at the blind girl, hands still out streatched.
Inuyasha rolled his amber eyes sky ward. 'She's waiting for you to come to her, brat. She can'tsee, she's blind.' He explained.
The little fox nodded his head and slowly walked over to Kagome.
Kagome felt soft, fuzzy fur come into contact with her hands and she began to rub it gently. "Hi there, little guy." She said and gently picked up the small body of the fox.
Inuyasha sat down and watched with a bored expression on his dog face. 'Oi, runt, isn't it time for you to go home to your parents?' He asked, hoping that the fox pup would take the hint.
The little fox twisted his head around and looked at Inuyasha with a sad expression in his eyes. 'I don't know where my parents are.' He said with a little whine.
Inuyasha frowned. 'What do you mean you don't know where they are?' He asked in mild curiosity in his voice.
The fox looked down. 'When I was little some humans came and took me out of my den and away from my parents and put me in some sort of cage where all these little humans came and teased me.' He said with another whine.
Kagome cuddled the fox closer. "What's the matter, little puppy?" She asked and stroked his soft fur.
Kagome felt around the foxes neck and felt for a collar. "Well, since you don't seem to have a collar, I'll just take you home. I'm sure Sango couldn't resist a cutty like you." She said and straightened into a standing position. "C'mon Yasha, take us gome so I can get this little huy some food." She said and tugged gently on the leash.
Inuyasha heaved a sigh.'Great. That's all I need is more trouble from another animal.' Inuyasha muttered as he turned around and began to lead Kagome back to Sango's house.
