I don't own Pokémon or gameboy. They belong to nintendo. I own two of the pokémon games as well as a gameboy. Thankfully, this is as close to my hands they will ever get. Many people would be afriad of my ideas of what to do with Pokémon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome waved good bye to her friends with a proud grin. This afternoon had been perfect. Yahna had been kept busy by one of her friends while the other two helped her study. She felt quite prepared for her last test tomorrow and would be able to go to sleep early tonight. Best of all, Yahna was tired out and had dozed off about an hour ago.

When her friends were out of sight, the teenager strolled back to living room and gathered her books. She tucked them away in her backpack and headed up for her room. As quietly as she could, Kagome snuck into the room and set her backpack next to her desk. Then she approached the bed to check on the sleeping tree child.

Yahna was gone.

The girl let out a strangled groan. Where'd she go now!?! She was here a few minutes ago!!!

Slightly panicked, the girl dropped to the floor and checked under her bed. Not there. Her eyes searched the room. Nowhere in sight. She dashed to the door and looked up and down the hall. "Yahna-chan?"

"She's in here," Souta called from his room.

Kagome let out a sigh of relief. She headed to her little brother's room and stopped at the door, staring.

Souta was sitting on his bed with his back against the head board playing his gameboy. That was not an unusual sight. Often times she would find her brother playing some sort of game or another on the little console. That wasn't what surprised her. No, not at all. It was the little girl reclined on his lap watching every move he made that made her do a double take. The young hanyou was completely content staring at the little screen while Souta watched over her shoulder.

One of Yahna's clawed fingers pointed at the screen. "What?"

"That's a gaadie," the boy stated calmly. "It's an inu, sorta like you and Inu-nii-chan, except it has stripes like a tiger."

"Gaa-die?"

"Yep."

Kagome blinked, then blinked again. Okay, her little brother was teaching Yahna how to play a video game. Technically that wasn't weird. They were both children and children did play video games with each other. It was just that, when she stared at them, she couldn't help but remember the time Souta had tried to teach Inuyasha how to play. Oh, the hanyou had tried... once. After the twenty second loss to Souta, Inuyasha had gone off to pout, muttering that video games were stupid and not befitting of a warrior. Seeing Yahna learning, and obviously picking it up fairly quickly, was just so ironic.

A small chuckle escaped the school girl. Maybe I should try to get Inuyasha to try video games again. He and Yahna are probably on the same ability level.

"I'll watch her, if you want," the boy offered.

"Thanks Souta. I'll come get you both when dinner's ready."

"Kay."

"What?" Yanna asked again.

"That's a pikachu. He's mine..."

Kagome giggled again as she went back to her room.

~~~~~

"Ohhhhhh..." Yanna awed as she stared at the red and white ball presented to her.

Souta beamed with pride. "Neat, huh? It's one of my own pokéballs. I think this one came with a Myuu in it. I know I lost that one a while ago. It's somewhere around my room, but I can't remember where." He scratched his head and glanced around the room. Noticing Yahna's slightly impatient stare, he asked, "Wanna hold it?"

Yanna nodded enthusiastically. She cupped her hands and he placed in her eager palms. He smiled and pressed the little button on the front. The top popped up, amazing the child.

"Works just like a real one," he explained.

Azure eyes flickered over to the lazy cat sleeping on the bed. A second later, the pokéball was sent flying across the room. It sailed over the cat by, missing by few inches. Buyo ignored it. She whimpered.

"No, you can't throw it at Buyo. He's not a pokémon. Besides, you have to say 'pokéball go' or it wont work."

"Ohhhh..." She trotted over to the toy and picked it back up. Carefully, she polished it off and held it back to him.

"You can play with it, if you want. It wont break all that easy."

She grinned from ear to ear, then ran out the door.

~~~~~

"Keh, those toy things are absolutely perfect for a female pup," Inuyasha snorted. Kagome just shrugged as she continued working on homework. From his spot on her bed, he watched the girl work. He had come back a few minutes ago from his long, peaceful nap and was delighted to find Yahna completely occupied with Souta and his 'Vid-e-o' games. "They don't require her to move, yell, or think hard, need no skills, will keep her out of trouble, and completely out of harm's way. It is perfectly safe..."

Whack!

"Pokéball go!"

A small red and white ball bounced off Inuyasha's head and landed a few feet away on the carpet. Yahna toddled up to it and carefully lifted it from the ground. Her azure eyes flicked over to Inuyasha disappointedly. She pressed the little button on the ball and the top flipped open. Then, she took a deep breath and closed it. Yahna cleared her throat, leaned back slightly and prepared to throw again. Inuyasha growled and glared at her, silently daring her to. The child grinned.

Yahna launched the ball in the air, yelling at the same time, "Pokéball go!"

Kagome fell over as she laughed hysterically.

Inuyasha caught the ball and glared at the child. "What the hell are you doing?!" he snapped.

"Trying to catch a pokémon," Souta sighed from the door. He looked straight at the confused Yahna. "Inu-nii-chan isn't a pokémon either. There aren't any pokemon outside of the video game."

Kagome gripped her sides to keep them from bursting as she laughed harder.

"Shut up!" the slightly blushing hanyou snapped at her. This just made Kagome laugh louder. Inuyasha took a few deep breaths, willing himself not to kill all the people in the room, then glared at Souta. The boy gulped. Inuyasha tossed the ball back to Souta. "And don't give it back, or I'll break it! Got it?!" Souta nodded and ran back to his room. Inuyasha then turned his attention back to Yahna. She grinned nervously. "Come here!" he barked. She flinched and didn't move. "Now!" Slowly the child toddled forward.

Kagome's laughing died down to a soft giggle and she rolled on to her stomach to watch what he'd do.

The older hanyou snagged the girl by the back of her hario and dropped her over his knee.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome suddenly snapped.

He glared at her. "What?!"

"Don't you dare hit her!"

"I'm not going to hit her!"

"You're going to spank her!"

"So?" he snorted in annoyance.

"So, that's hitting, and I'm not letting you hit her!"

"Buzz off, wench! She's my pup an' I can do what I want with her!"

"That'll hurt her!"

"Good. Then she'll learn not to do it again!"

"She doesn't know any better!" she protested.

"Not knowing any better wont keep her out of trouble!" he retorted. "You think some youkai's gonna care that she stumbled into his territory because she 'didn't know better'? No! He'll kill her without a second thought!"

Kagome stood and placed her fists on her hips. "That's why parents keep track of their children! So they don't get into trouble!"

"Keh!"

He raised his cupped hand.

"Sit!"

Inuyasha went face first into the mattress. The bed let out a loud groan under the strain. Somehow, he kept his knees propped up so his butt was up in the air. Crouched underneath his hips was a very confused and slightly frightened Yahna.

"Damn it, bitch!" Inuyasha roared when he pulled his face out of the blankets. "If you don't want to hurt her, then don't sit me when I'm holding her! That'll hurt her a hell of a lot more than a little spanking!"

Kagome snorted. She reached under him, grabbed Yahna, then stormed out of the room, leaving him swearing into the sheets.

~~~~~

The inu hanyou sighed as he leaned against Kagome's dresser. She was still fuming. He was still pouting. Had there not been a small child in the room, it would have been like usual with them.

If she doesn't want me punishing the brat, then why does she keep insisting it's mine?! Keh, females! I'll never understand them. First they tell you it's yours, then claim you can't do whatever the hell you want with it! Golden eyes glared at the adolescent girl. Bitch. She keeps letting the brat get away with whatever she wants. If this is how they raise children in her time, it's a miracle any of them are still alive at all...

A slight tingling in his spine called his attention above him. Instinctively he reached out and snagged whatever was falling towards him. What he ended up with was Yahna's ankle. Holding her upside down, he lifted her so she was eye level with him.

"Oi, pup? What do you think you're doing?" he demanded softly.

Yahna smiled innocently, reached her hands out, and gripped the sides of his face. She nuzzled her nose against his with a slight giggle.

The hanyou blinked, then sighed. Gently, he lifted her upright and placed her back on the ground. He could feel the weight of Kagome's eyes on him. "Alright, just be more careful," he scolded the child. Kagome nodded and went back to her studies.

He went back to his brooding. Keh, I was spanked as a child and I turned out fine. It's that wimpy ototo of her's that's weak. Bet he was never once punished properly as a child because he was 'too little to understand', he mentally sneered. No wonder Kagome's so...

The tingling sensation returned. He reached up and ended up with a fist full the child's ankle again. As he held her upside down again, he looked eyed her. Instead of looking innocent this time, she looked confused.

What is she up to? he wondered as he set her back down. This time, he watched the child out of the corner of his eye, careful not to let her realize he was watching.

For a moment, she did nothing. Then, she glanced at Kagome, at him, then back at Kagome. When she seemed fairly sure she wasn't being watched, she went to one side of the dresser where neither of them could see her. She leaped on top, making little noise, and made sure she wasn't being watched. Then she seemed to be calculating something in her mind. A moment later, she leaped for Inuyasha with one foot extended.

He caught her by her ankle again and held her upside down. This time he didn't put her down.

"Otoo-sama?" she questioned.

"Not until you learn not to jump on people," he half whispered to her so Kagome wouldn't take notice. He didn't want her saying this was 'mean' too. It's not like this was hurting her. Yahna let out a grunt and folded her arms together. "Pout all you want, it's not changing anything."

"Keh!" she snorted.

"Keh," he snorted back.

The child glared at him stubbornly. Then put her hands over her heart and closed her eyes. Curious, Inuyasha held her up so she was eye level with him. She took several deep breaths. Her face scrunched up and her body became tense.

What is she...?

She suddenly flung her hands straight forward, palms out, staring him in the eyes. "Dragu aura!" she cried.

Inuyasha blinked. She blinked back.

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked.

Yahna studied her hands. Then she held them back out. "Dragu aura!" The tree pup's azure eyes grew wide and she frowned. "Dragu aura?"

Kagome burst out laughing again. Inuyasha glared at her, screaming, "Shut up! It's not funny!"

"Dragu aura!" Yahna tried again.

Unable to control herself, Kagome laughed harder. Her body slumped forward on her desk as she fought back tears.

"Shut up!"

"Dragu aura?" Yahna whimpered.

"What the hell is your problem!?!" he yelled at the girl. Yahna flinched and her eyes watered. "Yeah, you better be upset, brat!" She took a deep breath. He clamped a hand over her mouth and grinned evilly. "Oh no. I'm not dealing with that again. You start wailing, and I'll tie you to the tree outside and leave you there until the sun comes up." She whimpered. "Now, you still feel like crying?" he growled. She shook her head. "Good." He removed his hand and dropped her on the floor. She wasted no time in running over to Kagome and leaping into the girl's lap.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome snapped.

He put his hands in his sleeves and turned up his nose. "Keh! Yell all you want. The brat has to be punished. She starts crying again, she's going out there and I'm going back through the well. You can deal with her," he snorted.

"Inu..."

"The whelp's mine, remember? That is what you were yelling yesterday. And if she's mine, I can do what I want with her," he retorted.

"She's a child, not property!"

"My pup, my rules, my discipline," he grunted and turned his back to her. This conversation was over, as far as he was concerned anyway.

"Should take you to the vet and get you fixed. That'd make sure there weren't any other 'pups of yours' to worry about," Kagome grunted to herself.

Vet? This wasn't a word Inuyasha had heard Kagome use before. He glanced over his shoulder curiously. "Vet?"

This school girl's face lit up. Then she smiled evilly down at Yahna. "Ah, yes. That's a perfect idea, isn't it Yahna-chan?" Yahna cocked her head to one side and blinked. "Of course, if we took him to the vet, we'd need to fill out an information sheet on him. Let's see..." She rifled through her homework until she came to a blank page. She grabbed her pencil and began writing. "Name: Inuyasha. Sex: male. Age..." She glanced over at the slightly nervous, pink cheeked hanyou.

"Wha... what'er you doing?" he demanded weakly.

"Age: young adult (exact years unknown)."

"And what's that suppose to mean?"

"Breed?" The chocolate eyes looked him up and down. "Youkai mix. Previous health problems: tends to get injured a lot while fighting."

Inuyasha was on his feet in an instant. "While protecting you! What're you doing!?!" he barked.

"Disposition," she continued as if he hadn't spoken at all, "Bad tempered. Fights with people, has a habit of clawing and biting people..."

"Stop it!"

".... barks a lot. Should probably be muzzled."

"No I shouldn't!"

"Reason for being brought in: Needs to be fixed. Owner's feel this would solve a lot of personality problems."

The hanyou grabbed the paper and threw it on the floor. He stamped his foot on it, ground it into the carpet, and glared at Kagome. "There's nothing wrong with my personality! I'm not owned by anyone! And I don't need to be fixed! I'm not broken! And all those fights were to protect your sorry ass and fix the problems you caused when you broke the Shikon no Tama!"

"Note: has a shrill bark."

"Stop it!" he roared. She started laughing again. He growled and stormed out of the room. "Baka bitch," he grumbled to himself.

Halfway down the hall he ran into Souta. "Inu-nii-chan, is something wrong?"

"No... Wait, what's a vet?" he demanded.

Souta raised a curious eyebrow. "An animal doctor. Why? Is Buyo sick?"

"Lousy bitch," he grunted. "I'm not an animal..."

"Nee-chan was going to take you to the vet?! What for?! You're not sick are you?!" the boy cried in shock.

"No, I'm not sick. She was rambling on about being fixed. I'm not... even..." He trailed off when he noticed a look of horror on Souta's face. "What?"

"D-do you know what 'fixed' is?" Souta asked in a shaky voice.

Okay, Inuyasha may not have been the sharpest sword in the batch, but even he knew he was missing something really important here. "What?"

A crimson blush stained the boy's cheeks. He turned his eyes to the ground and focused on a spot in the carpet. "Uh, well, we got Buyo fixed when he was a kitten so he wouldn't father any kittens..."

"Buyo's a male!?!" The hanyou's face turned a pale white. "She wouldn't."

"I'm sure she was only joking," Souta tried to console him. The hanyou whimpered.

Japanese words I've used in this chapter

Pokémon - a video game. The word is short for pocket monster. The three pokemon referenced are growlith (gaadie), pikachu, and mew (myuu).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright, spanking is an issue we can debate for hours without ever coming to an agreement. I know everyone has their own take on this, so I don't want to get into a debate over it, please. Personally, for those who are curious, I am against spanking since it is a form of hitting someone (hit meaning striking another person, animal, plant, or object). I've seen enough studies that show it raises frequencies of undesired behavior when parent(s) are not around and leads to higher levels of aggression to think it is right. This is my personal belief and I know many people disagree with it. Can we leave it at that?

I apologize for the long time it took to get this chapter out. I've been buried under homework for a while and still have a ton to get done. Blah.

Look, people who asked me to update more! I updated! (I had a number of reviews asking me to update.)

Fate Bringer, I define as spending time with people as not hostile. There isn't a whole lot of evidence that says he has spent time with people that does not involve fighting of some sort. What I saw in the Juninji episode was that he said the only way Juninji would be happy is if people were afraid of him. That was the only way he would be able to live in peace. He probably had some good interaction with people and youkai (like Myoga) before meeting Kikyo, but it is obviously not much.

*grins sheepishly* Sorry Queeney. It was suppose to say kawaii. Little typo. Thank you for pointing it out.

Dragon Man 180, thank you. I don't think Kikyo is evil. I think has issues (the whole being brought back from the dead while trying really hard not to thing). Honestly, I will try and portray her as she is in the series. For all of the characters, if they seem OOC, I am sorry. I'm really trying to keep them in character with this fic.

For the people who asked about the new hanyou: yes there are more of them (wait until you meet some of the others ;) ). Yes, they will be back. Yes, they are important. Yes, this will become clearer later. I promise. It really will.

Well, that's about it. I have work to go do. I also have to go beat my head against a wall. That seems to have the same effect as doing my homework. Later all.
