Chapter 17

Kagome was still a little shaky when she pushed herself to her feet. She out her hands on Yasha's

back for support.

Inuyasha stood patiently as Kagome gathered herself.

Kagome took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh. "Let's go home Yasha." Kagome said and began to walk.

Inuyasha stayed right at her side, his furry body brushing gently against her legs so that she would know that he was there beside her.

After what seemed like an eternity of walking for Kagome, they finally reached the house.

Inuyasha was just as relieved as Kagome was to reach the safety of the house, not to mention the air conditioning. Even though it was in the early hours of morning, it was still very hot outside.

Kagome slipped off her shoes and then un-clipped the leash from Yasha's red collar.

Inuyasha sat down and brought his hind leg up and began to scratch at his ears. Then he stood and shook his massive head and watched as Kagome made her way into the kitchen.

The scent of green tea reached his nose. She always made green tea to sooth her nerves when she was upset or when she couldn't get to sleep.

'Why are you back from your walk so early?' A voice asked from behind Yasha, making him jump in surprise.

He craned his head around and saw Kirara sitting right behind him.

For once, Inuyasha wasn't annoyed to see the two tailed cat. 'We had a little encounter with a guy who smelled like a stinking wolf.' He began.

Inuyasha proceeded to tell Kirara all that had happened that morning.

Kirara was shocked when she heard this. 'What?! That no good son of a-' Inuyasha cut her off right there.

'Feh, stupid cat. If you didn't see when she walked in, she's fine.' He said and stretched out his back.

Kirara just frowned at him. And then she said, 'Well, I you're a hero.' She smirked at him.

'Who's a hero?' Asked Shippo with a yawn as he walked around the corner and sat next to Kirara. His bushy tail seemed even bushier from sleep.

Inuyasha growled quietly. He saw what kind of attention people got when they did something heroic. And he didn't want that kind of attention. H stood up and began to walk away. 'Feh, there's no hero around here you annoying little runt.' And with that he disappeared around the corner and into the kitchen.

Shippo turned to Kirara. 'What's going on? Is Yasha really a hero?' He asked.

Although Kirara loved having Yasha annoyed, she could tell when the large white dog really didn't want to be bothered about something. 'You think that Yasha could be a hero?' She asked in fake disbelief.

Shippo seemed to be thinking for a minute, and then he shook his head. 'Your right. There is no way that Yasha would make a good hero.' He said, sounding like he couldn't believe that he even thought it in the first place.

Kirara smirked to herself. 'I'm so good I could even fool myself sometimes.' She thought smugly. 'Come on Shippo, lets go find you something to do.' She said to the fox kit and began to walk towards the living room, Shippo following close behind.

Inuyasha walked into the kitchen to find Kagome sitting at the table, a cup of steaming green tea in her hands. He could smell that she was completely calm now from what had happened earlier that day.

Kagome was also eating some fudge brownies with her green tea.

Inuyasha made his way over to Kagome, his toe nails 'clicking' on the tiled floor.

Kagome smiled when she felt her dog lay his large head in her lap. She brought her hand down and fondled Yasha's silky soft ears.

"Thank you again Yasha. For saving me." She whispered softly to the dog. Kagome seemed to lose herself in her own thoughts. "In fact, besides Sango and Miroku, you're the only other person who would save like you just did earlier." She continued a few minutes later.

Inuyasha barely heard any of this, he was to busy enjoying the massage his ears were getting, but he still heard her.

Kagome smiled and finally stopped rubbing Yasha's ears. "How 'bout I give you a little treat for saving me, hm?" She asked and started to feel across the table until her hand touched the plate of brownies.

She picked up the biggest brownie she could feel and then broke in half and gave it to Yasha. "I know dogs aren't supposed to have chocolate, but just this once won't hurt. Besides," She added with a giggle. "Sango isn't here to tell me other wise." She laughed.

Inuyasha gave a dog grin as he accepted the chocolate treat. It had been a very long time since he ate human food, with out getting in trouble by Sango that is.
