A/N: Wow, I can't believe that I actually managed to write this! English is my second language: please, forgive my bad grammar. Anyways: imagine that you're reading the disclaimer right now. Misao-CG is too lazy to write a disclaimer… AH! Just a little OOC warning… and swearing warning: Inuyasha is a potty mouth and Kagome is picking after his habits.

Oneshot 7:

"Dogs!"

She was changing her clothes when suddenly a wet nose tapped her knee. Startled, Kagome look down and found Rock, her brother's dog. She knelt beside him and petted him tenderly. After a while like this, she sniggered at the thought of Inuyasha: if he could see her like this, petting Rock, he was going to throw a tantrum for sure.

Rock let her pet him. He rested his chin in her leg, looks at her cutely and dropped his ears in submission, clearly asking her for more pampering. He knew that she thought that he was a sweet dog. Kagome couldn't help but smile at him and pet him badly.

"Hey, big guy: who let in? Sota? You better get out before…"

Rock blinked and directed at her his very best Sad Sam's face.

"OOoooww! Don't put me that face:pet, pet:... Where is Sota?"

Rock waved his tail and barked.

"You seem to know where he is… Now, out, go play with Sota!" Said Kagome and shoo him away clapping her hands, but the dog ignored her. "Rock, I'm changing clothes, please get out!" She insisted.

Rock shook his head and assumed a clearly playful attitude. Kagome blinked at him and tried to shoo him away again, but Rock jumped on top of her bed and waved his tail enthusiastically.

"Hey! Bad Dog! Get Out of my bed!"

The dog barked and jumped and made a mess of her bed. Kagome decided that it was enough already and tried to grab the dog by its collar.

No success.

Seeing his perfect opportunity to play, Rock avoided her and in the process, he grabbed a blue shirt that Kagome had just being wearing that day and chewed it a little.

"Rock! Drop That! Drop it, I Mean It!"

The only response she got was a mixture between a bark and… what seemed to be a dog's laugh? The girl jumped, but the dog avoided her once again and started to run all over her room, making a good example of 'messy room' in the process.

Of course, don't blame the dog for the mess: Kagome, in her crazy attempt to catch the dog in order to save her shirt, made her little contribution to the twilight zone that her bedroom was becoming.

Then, at some point, Rock made his way out of the bedroom.

Much to Kagome's dismay.

"MOM, GRANDPA! CLOSE THE DOOR! SOTA! HEEEEELP!"

Aw. Life is so pretty without acoustic contamination!

"STUPID MUTT! COME BACK HERE WITH THAT!"

Don't you think the same?

Outside the House.

As soon as his feet touched the well's ground on Kagome's time, his ears immediately recognized the girl's hysterical unattended yells for help. He whined for himself: he really hated any form of possible danger around the girl, the yells were a clear sign of it… and he wasn't even close to protect her.

Poor her… err… I mean, him.

To keep the guy in character, let's say that the whine soon became a threatening growl and jumped out of the well and got out of the well-house, ready to reduce to shreds the possible threat to Kagome.

Instead of whatever his mind imagined, he found a panting furious girl, in what we could call a 'pajama', chasing the dog all over the shrine grounds. He stared at this amused for a moment, but soon blushed and began to remove his fire-rat robe. He got close to Kagome.

"Stupid Dog, Who could he? What an Insensitive Jerk!"

"Hey! I Did Nothing This Time!"

Kagome faced a frowning Inuyasha and her face lit up in glee and gave him a big bear-hug, confusing the hanyou in the process. As soon as she let him go, and after a few minutes of thick silence, the hanyou covered Kagome with his fire-rat robe.

"Just the guy I need it! I need to ask you a big favor, Inuyasha!" She said, ignoring the hanyou's antics.

"Me?"

"I know you can understand that FREAKIN MUTT over there!" She explained, but Inuyasha only raised an eyebrow, still confused. "He stole one of my shirts! I think he thinks it's funny, but it isn't! Please, tell him that I want it back!" She stressed in a rush. Inuyasha turned to the dog in question…

… But saw no shirt.

"What do you mean? Rock has nothing!"

Kagome blinked for several moments and look at the dog… indeed, Inuyasha was right, her shirt was missing. She pouted at the hanyou.

"Tell him that I really want my shirt back." She asked again.

"Ok." Inuyasha shrugged. "But I don't promise you anything:… :ahem: Hey Mutt! The lady here wants her shirt back!" The dog sat and barked in response. "Feh! I don't care! Give it Back!"

He barked again and made dog's sounds. Then he lied down in defeat and shame. Inuyasha growled, but didn't push the matter.

"What!"

"Sorry, but he said that he already buried your shirt…"

"WHAT? Oh Men! That Is MY Favorite Shirt!"

"Which one of your favorites?… The blue one?"

"Yeah… how do you know?"

"A hunch. Er… don't give that look, you were wearing that today, I saw you!" He rushed.

"Oh…"

"…"

"HEY! You're a Dog, And Bigger Than Him! And A Noble At That! Order Him To Give Me My Shirt BACK!"

"Err… Kagome… I can't do that."

"Nonsense! Of Course You Can!"

"Feh, wench! I Can't Do that: I'm a Dog, I know My Ethics!"

"…"

"…"

":blink, blink: Ethics? What Ethics? What nonsense are you talking about? Don't give me that crap! Ethics! You?"

"He buried your shirt!" The hanyou answered as if that tiny sentence explained the whole thing… and of course, it didn't. Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Once buried, it's yours: even Sesshomaru respects that fact of life!"

"…"

Oh. She forgot that dogs tended to bury things… and this was damn new to her.

":sweatdrop:."

Does this mean that Inuyasha also bury his things away?

":raise eyebrow:"

And since when Inuyasha knew or respected ethics, for crying out loud?

"Argh! I can't believe this! I don't believe this!" Growled Kagome, holding the robe together. "Now you decide to obey... err… Inuyasha? Why I'm using your haori?"

":chokes:"

"Tell me."

"Tell You!" Inuyasha panicked. "No Way!"

"…"

"Absolutely No WAY!"

"Please:teary eyes:."

"Err… I… err… you know… I saw… err… :blush: Well… It looks like you forgot to :ahem: put on another shirt on." He said, scratching his neck and looking how pretty the sunset in the distance was.

The hanyou's answer took a little time to make sense in the girl's mind. But then, Kagome blushed. Oh yes, she blushed crimson red. Fearing the worst, she peeked inside the robe. She sighed, she wasn't topless… she was wearing her bra. Lucky she.

And she had run all over the shrine ground practically topless, and Inuyasha saw her like that, running in circles with only her bra. That wasn't good. She clenched her fists in fury.

"AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH! YOU HENTAI! OSUWARI!"

THUMP.

Always blushing, Kagome turned over her heels and stormed inside the house, muttering curses to every single living being in the perimeter. In the meantime, Inuyasha peeled himself off the ground.

"Wench!" Rock appeared by his side and licked his cheek. "… Feh! You didn't had to made all this scandal, you know that?"

":bark:."

"…"

":whine:"

"… Do you have it?"

":Woof, woof:… :Grrrr, whine, wuf?:"

"Of Course! A deal is a deal!" Said Inuyasha as he dusted himself off.

Both dogs disappeared in different directions, and came back a little bit later, Rock with Kagome's blue shirt and Inuyasha with a little package of…

… Dog cookies. And the pack was open. Lucky him.

"Take. And thanks!"

":Woof, whine, wuf!:"

Rock fled with his cookies straight at his house. Inuyasha, on the other hand, stared at Kagome's window and sniffed at the shirt. He chuckled, nuzzled the shirt and took a deep breath. He smiled and without loosing his death grip on the fabric, he walked away calmly and came back to his time…

And buried the shirt under his tree.

Fin.
