Chapter 3

Disclaimer: HA! I fooled ya! I don't own Inuyasha!

Kagome walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. A bowl of dog food and water was ready for Inuyasha but he was lying outside the kitchen sick looking. Buyo ate his food gratefully and followed Grandpa outside. Ms. H. let Inuyasha stay inside while she left for work. He went to Kagome's room and looked into a mirror. He had medium length pure white hair with his trademark ears. His eyes had a soft brown tint to them. To him, he looked normal. Why couldn't Kagome see it was him? Was anger clouding her vision? What did it matter now? He was doomed.

He went to leave but since Kagome's room had her sent in it and it was so strong, Inuyasha laid down beside her bed and waited for her to come home. It seemed forever. He got up reluctantly and went downstairs. He scratched at the door. Grandpa let him out and followed. He went over toward the shed though with a broom rather then wondering around. Inuyasha soon found himself in the shade of the God tree. Here, he laid down again and waited.

He didn't realize he'd gone to sleep will Souta woke him. Souta held a stick in his hand and waved in front of Inuyasha's face.

""Hey boy!" Souta smiled. "Get the stick, Boy! Fetch!"

Inuyasha watched the stick fly across the shrine. There is no way in hell I'm going to do that…

Souta shrugged and went inside. He'd just gotten done putting fliers around town. Inuyasha waited still under the God tree. He watched Ms. H. go inside and Grandpa go inside. He even watched Buyo mess with a butterfly and fall of the stair. It didn't amuse him. He just wanted Kagome to come home safely.

"I think that dog has something to do with Inuyasha," Ms. H said to Souta.

"How do you figure?" Souta looked up at his mother. "Sure, he looks like him but he doesn't act like him that much."

"It must be a mother thing," Ms. H smiled. "Just look at him."

Souta shrugged and went off to play his video games.

Kagome jugged up the steps to the shrine. She prayed to herself that Inuyasha was sitting by the well doors or maybe even under the shade of the God tree waiting for her. She wanted to see him so badly. The thing was, she wasn't going back to him without an apology. She didn't deserve that. She reached the top and looked around carefully. No one there but that stray dog lying in the shade. She sighed and went to the house.

Inuyasha got up and trotted over to her. His tounge hung out and his tail was out of control. She just giggled and opened the door so he could go inside with her. After she got home, Inuyasha never left her side. He was trying to make it obvious it was him but no one clued in. He followed her to the bathroom and waited outside the door, he was within arm's reach of her during dinner, and then he stayed with her in her room.

"See," Ms. H. pointed out. "That dog loves Kagome!"

"Maybe that demon boy died and his soul is in the dog." Grandpa wondered out loud.

"No!" Souta shouted. "Inuyasha can't die!"

Inuyasha fell asleep by Kagome's bed. Her sent intoxicated him. Kagome let her hand hang off her bed just so they could touch the tip of his head. Once asleep, she rolled over and pulled her hand in. He laid there loyally till morning.

It was the same routine the next day except he played a little fetch with Souta. He found out that if he played with Souta, he'd get a peanut butter cookie. Since Kagome was sad about Inuyasha…Not seeing Inuyasha, he was depressed too. He really did want to help her. He wanted to be with her and hold her and tell her it was all his fault…but that damn miko turned him into a dog.

He sat by Kagome while she did her homework when she got home. It'd been quiet for the most part. Suddenly, Kagome began to cry. Knowing it was his fault, Inuyasha sat up and walked over to her. He felt worse now. He had always hated seeing her cry.

"That jerk," Kagome sobbed out. "He didn't even come for me! I bet he hates me more then ever and went and found Kikyo! Oh! He does love her more then me!"

Inuyasha whined, getting her attention. I did come! I'm right here, Kagome!

"He's such a jerk! A cold, heartless, jerk!"

Inuyasha flinched at the harsh words. It hurt him to sit there and listen to her. He wasn't mad at anyone else but himself. He did this to her. She was only hating him because of what he did.

"Well," Kagome whipped her tears. "I don't need him."

Inuyasha whined again. But…I need you! Kagome, I need you! He placed his chin on her lap.

"Oh," Kagome smiled. "You're trying to comfort me…Well, I love you too."

Inuyasha wagged his tail. I love you too Kagome.

Kagome patted his head telling him she was done petting him. Inuyasha laid back down. He then realized that his mouth was dry. He was thirsty.

She'll be here when you get back, Inuyasha told himself. She won't leave till her homework's done… Inuyasha got us and wondered downstairs. Buyo was playing with whatever Grandpa had given Souta this time and Souta was playing his video game. He padded over to the water bowl and starred at it. I never thought once that I'd be doing this… With that, he began lapping up the water.

"He hasn't eaten yet," Souta observed when he came in for a snack.

"Let's wait and see," Ms. H. smiled. "He might be adjusting to his new home."

Souta nodded and pet Inuyasha behind his ears and lightly scratched his back. Inuyasha went into submission. He rolled his head back into Souta's hand. The young hands were tough in a loving way.

"It's almost bed time Souta," Ms. H informed. "You better go get ready for bed."

Souta nodded and hurried up the stairs.

Kagome was coming sown for something to drink too. Inuyasha watched her come down the stairs. He longed for her. It was so horrible being a dog. Sure, Souta loved him. He loved his when he was hanyou. But Kagome would never see him at Inuyasha will he was back to normal.

Once the house was quiet, Inuyasha walked through the house a couple times to see to it that it was safe. Then, once he was sure that no one was going to hurt Kagome's family, he retired by Kagome's bed.
