Chapter 12

Inuyasha sat in a sunny spot in the living room watching Kagome and Sango play with Shippo. 'I've done a lot of things for that blind wench. I even got her out of her depression funk, so why haven't I changed back yet?' He wondered as he looked down at his dog paws.

'What are you brooding about, Yasha?' Kirara asked as she walked into the room.

Inuyasha glanced at her and gave an irritated grunt. 'None of your business, you stinkin cat.' He grumbled.

Kirara got an amused look on her face. 'Could it be that the big tough doggy is jealous of the cute little fox kit?' She asked in a mocking tone of voice.

Inuyasha growled at that comment. 'No, I'm not jealous of the fox.' He replied.

'Okay then, if your not jealous then what ARE you thinking about?' Kirara persisted in asking.

Inuyasha glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. 'Your not gonna leave me alone until I tell you are you?' He said, making it sound more like a statement then a question.

Kirara gave a Cheshire cat smile. 'Nope! Now tell me!' She said and jumped on top of a table that was next to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha let out an annoyed sighed. 'Fine, I was wondering when I was going to turn back to normal.' He said.

Kirara cocked her head to the side. 'You still haven't given up on that?' She asked with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Inuyasha growled quietly. 'Why would I give up on it? If you were turned into a mouse wouldn't you wanna be turned back into a cat? All though the mouse would be an improvement.' The last part was muttered.

Kirara frowned at that comment.'Of course I'd wanna turn back into a cat. Cats are intelligent, unlike certain dogs I happen to know.' She replied cooly.

A little ball of orange fur came running over to them. 'Hey, Yasha! Don't you and Kirara wanna play with me, Sngo, and Kagome?' Shippo asked with a little tilt of his head.

Kirara smiled at the fox, but Inuyasha just rolled his amber eyes. 'For the last time, runt, my name is not Yasha! Its Inuyasha!' He said in an irritated tone of voice.

Shippo shrugged his shoulders. 'What ever. So, do you wanna play with me and the humans or not?' He asked again.

Kirara smiled and nodded her. 'I'll play with you, Shippo. I'm not sure about Inuyasha, though. I think he's just gonna be a humbug today.' She said and stood and walked over to where Sango and Kagome were sitting.

Inuyasha glared at the cats retreating back. 'Stinking cat.' He grumbled and continued glaring at the yellowed color cat.

After a while, he turned his gaze to the blind girl whom he was helping. 'She is doing better, so why HAVEN'T I changed back yet?' He wondered as he watched her throw a small red ball and Shippo chased after it.

'Sesshomaru said if I helped her I would change back, so why haven't I?' He wondered. He sat there for a whiling, brooding about what to do when a thought came to him. 'Come to think of it, how did Sesshomaru even know about Kagome? I don't remember reading anything about a car wreck in the paper, so just HOW did he find out about her?' He wondered. 'I think its time I paid my dear old brother another visit.' He said allowed.

**

Inuyasha silently snuck out of Kagome's room and into the living room. He quietly made his way over to the front door and looked up at the door knob. 'Just how am I gonna get that thing open?' He thought, annoyed.

Inuyasha jumped up on the door and tried to get the door knob into his mouth and tried to twist it, but the only thing that resulted in was him looking extremely ridiculous.

After a few minute of trying to turn the knob, Inuyasha jumped down with an annoyed 'humph'.

Inuyasha looked around the room but didn't see any other way out. 'Stupid Sango, can't even leave a window open.' He muttered and laid down, laying his large head on his paws.

'Aw, the poor little puppy can't find a way out.' A mocking voice said from about Inuyasha.

Inuyasha whipped his large head off of his paws and looked up and saw Kirara sitting next to a window. 'What do you want, you flea bag?' He growled out while glaring.

Kirara shrugged her shoulders and brought up her right paw and began to lick it. 'You want some help getting out of here?' She asked.

Inuyasha growled again. 'I don't need help from you, cat.' He growled once again.

Kirara shrugged her shoulders again. 'Okay, but with out my help you won't get out of her before dawn.' She said.

Inuyasha let out a loud sigh. 'Fine, but don't expect a thank you.' He grumbled and stood up.

Kirara smirked and stood up and walked over to a near by window, motioning for Inuyasha to follow her.

Inuyasha jumped up on his hind legs and sat his front legs on the window sill.

Kirara took both of her paws and began to swat at the window latch.

'What are you doing?' Inuyasha asked, trying not to sound like he was really all the curious, but failing.

Kirara was looking intently at the window latch as she continued swatting at it. 'Quiet! I need to concentrate.' She said and continued her work on the latch.

Inuyasha grumbled, but didn't say anything else as he watched the small yellow cat.

After a while, Inuyasha heard a 'snap' and the next thing he knew Kirara had jumped out the now open window. 'How did you do that?' Inuyasha asked in disbelief.

Kirara gave the silvered furred dog a smug look. 'We cats have our ways.' She said in a mysterious sounding voice.

Inuyasha didn't say anything else, he just jumped out of the window and began to run down the street.

Kirara jumped into a standing position. 'Hey! Where are you going?' She called after him.

Inuyasha stopped at the ending of the street and turned around. 'Not that its any of your business, CAT! But I gotta go see my brother about something!' He replied.

Kirara ran to the ending of the yard. 'Just be back before morning and everyone finds you gone!'
