Chapter Seven
Dog ears...?

"So do you have any brothers?" Kagome asked causally, as Inuyasha sat on her bed, yelping every so often at her for being so careless, and getting kid napped.

"How about you just tell me what happened!" He demanded angrily.

"well I was kid napped, and you happened to sort of save me."

"Sort of?" he snorted looking at her importantly "If I hadn't been there you would have been dead."

"Whatever you say Inuyasha."

He made a face, and his lips moved, as he muttered something.

"What did you just say?" she asked pulling on the bandage making him bit his lip.

"Damnit Kagome, look what you did!" Inuyasha snapped, looking at his mouth in a mirror after he pulled away from Kagome. "I'm imperfect."

"Right..." She trailed off rolling her eyes, she pulled Inuyasha back down onto the bed, and continued working on his wounds.

"So do you have any brothers?" she pestered.

Inuyasha snorted "Keh."

"That means yes?" Kagome's eyebrows raised.

Dose that mean... what I think it means?

"It means no," Inuyasha snapped "Shows what you know, stupid."

Kagome smiled strangely at him, and then smacked him on the top of his head "Would you stop calling me names?"

"Would you stop beating around the bush, and tell me what the HELL is going on around here!, you know my life was perfectly normal, until you came along." He said glaring daggers at her.

"Well I'm so sorry, I spiced up your boring life."

"My life was not boring!" Inuyasha exclaimed "I had every girl I wanted."

"Ugh, you'd make Miroku proud."

A frown fanned across his features "Who?"

He doesn't remember...

"A good friend of mine... he's a bit of a pervert."

Inuyasha looked at her startled "What the hell are you doing hanging around with perverts for!" he exclaimed "Do you do underage porn or something," He looked her up and down "I don't know who'd be that desperate enough to watch that."

"Excuse me!" Kagome exclaimed "First of all, I DON'T do porn, and news flash, I'm not ugly."

Inuyasha lifted his head up "Feh."

Kagome shook her head, and put a bunch of rubbing creams on his cuts, to stop the infection.

"What did you do that for wench!" He bellowed, grabbing his arm, and was on the other side of the room in seconds.

Kagome giggled.

Some things never change.

"What the hell are you looking at bitch!" Inuyasha snapped, "you could have given me some warning"

"Well were the fun in that?" She smiled, and started cleaning up the medicine supply, ignoring his mouth, that was hanging out.

"Y-you!" He exclaimed stomping over "I don't understand you!" He bellowed "What is your deal?"

Kagome smirked and opened her mouth to reply to him when the bedroom door opened and Souta walked in.

"Inuyasha!" He exclaimed throwing his arms, around the 'new' Inuyasha.

"What?" Inuyasha said obviously confused "who are you?"

Souta pulled away from Inuyasha and rolled his eyes "Come on, lets play video games."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome for help but she just smiled and waved.

I wonder how long it will take Souta to realize that isn't...THE Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed and sat down on her bed.

God I miss him...

------

The next day at school, Kagome was sitting in her classroom working on some extra credit homework, when Inuyasha walked in, He had a base ball cap pulled down low over his face.

"We need to talk Kagome." he said in a low voice, ignoring the weird looks he was getting from the other students in the room.

"What about?" She tilted her head up to the side, and reached up to remove his hat "you can't wear that in -"

"Don't touch it!" he grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from her desk "we need to talk now."

Kagome sighed and looked at the class "Fine."

How am I going to explain this one to mom? 'oh hey mom, Inuyasha's reincarnated self needed to talk' Right... That's a fast way to get myself in some kind of mental hospital.

Inuyasha didn't say anything, until he and Kagome were out of the school grounds and in the park, where Kagome first got attack.

Kagome was looking around nervously, and Inuyasha frowned "What the hell is the matter with you?" he demanded, crossing his arms, his hat still pulled low over his face.

"Nothing, now what do you want?" she demanded "do you have any idea how much trouble we are going to get into?"

"Do you have any idea, how many people are going to want to dissect me!" He bellowed angrily, A few birds startled and shot up into the air.

Kagome raised her eyebrows "What are you talking about?"

Inuyasha took the hat off of his head "This!"

Kagomes mouth dropped open and tackled him to the ground "Your ears are back!" She exclaimed and started rubbing them.

"What are you doing!" He exclaimed pushing her off him "You are freaking crazy, get off me"

She sighed "You look so much like him now... almost identical..." She trailed off, looking at him with a odd expression on her face.

Inuyasha frowned and crossed his arms "I am the only one, no one else could be me, deal with it wench"

"Whatever Inu-yasha" she said his name slowly, as she gazed at his ears "They're cute"

"What's cute?" he demanded, shoving his hat over his head.

"Your ears, they're cute"

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes "Show's what you know"

"I know plenty of things" She replied shortly.

Ugh, he's the one who dragged ME all the way out here, he better stop acting like it was the other way around.

"You could have fooled me"

"SIT!" She bellowed, and then blushed, remembering, that he wasn't the one who wore the necklace.

"What is it with you, and telling me to sit when your angry at me?" he demanded, leaning down, so his face was directly in front of her own "do you have problems? need help of some sort? you know theres probably pills for that sort of thing"

Kagome Slapped him.

THAT should teach him a lesson.

"What the hell did you do that for?" he demanded "i saved your life the other day, and now your being an ungrateful little bitch!"

"STOP CALLING ME NAMES!" She exclaimed angrily, her hand aching to reach out and hit him again.

"You know." Inuyasha said slowly "This is all your fault to begin with, if you hadn't been stupid and gotten yourself kidnapped, I wouldn't have ears, and I wouldn't have to cut my nails every other hour."

"Your getting your claws back?" She demanded, grabbing his hands and inspecting them, he just stared at her like she was crazy. "They look the same"

"That's because I've been filing them down!" He exclaimed "I've just told you that"

She blushed, and dropped his hands "Right, I knew that"

"Feh"

Kagome studied him closely "Where did your jewel go?"

"Excuse me?" he asked blinking.

"The Shikon jewel, where did it go?"

"It's at home... in the safe" He replied bored "Why do you care so much about that ratty old thing anyway?"

"It means a lot to me, and it means ALOT to you... or your old self anyway" She sighed and looked up at the sky.

"My old self?" Inuyasha demanded "As far as I'm concerned, there is only one me, and one of me is enough, thank you VERY much, crazy"

"Don't call me crazy!" Kagome exclaimed "I'm not crazy!"

"you are the one who goes on about that stupid necklace, demons and so loser wannabe."

"Technically you're the wannabe" She said thoughtfully "You were born five hundred years later..."

Inuyasha, threw up his hands "Okay, I've had it. You are more then insane, I don't know what you are, but its bigger and more scary then INSANE!" He started stomping off in the other direction, not noticing the dark clouds looming above.

"Inuyasha!" she called worriedly "Look out."

He turned around "What are you talking about?" he demanded taking a step towards her, just as a lighting bolt, hit the ground, and made Inuyasha fly threw the air and land near Kagome.

"What the hell was that?" Inuyasha demanded worriedly, standing in front of Kagome

"A demon" she said in awe. "but where is he?"

Inuyasha heard a nose behind them, and his eyes widened. He pushed Kagome and himself out of the way, just as a lighting bolt came flying past them.

They both hit the ground hard, and an evil cackle floated threw the air. "Stupid mortals, time to go where you belong." A voice sang out.
