Give A Dog A Bone
InuYasha, Kagome, and the others were walking through the woods. They had been walking for two days already. "Can we please take a rest?" Shippo whined.
"No, we got another Jewel Shard to find." InuYasha said with a growl.
"Please?"
"I SAID NO!"
Kagome stopped in her tracks. "What's up Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"I sence a Jewel Shard near by." Kagome said.
"Finely," said InuYasha "It's about time." As the group headed off towards a near by village where Kagome sensed the shard. InuYasha picked up a scent of a demon. "I smell a demon in that village!" He said and without any warning he raced off towards the village leaving the others behind.
"Hey wait for us, InuYasha!" Kagome shout as they raced after him.

InuYasha raced through the village, surprising the local villagers as he passed. He soon came upon a clearing in the woods near the village where some kids were playing, but his target was the demon sitting near by under a tree watching them. As InuYasha near his target, his target's ears perked and in the flash jumped into the tree's branches as he arrived at the spot looking around for his target. "Where did ya go?!" InuYasha shouted.
His target sniffed the air and then looked down and cocks head. "InuYasha?'
"Eh?" InuYasha looked up into the tree's branches and findly got a good look at his target. It was a cat demon, well part demon anyway. He had long black hair that fell just above his shoulders, navy blue cat-like eyes, cute black cat ears sticking form either side of the top of his head, a red demon shape mark on his forehead, red stripes on his cheeks, sharp claws on his hands which was gripping the branch he was currently crouching on, wearing a white men's yukata, a katana stuch in the shash belt, and wearing a jewel shard around his neck as a necklace. InuYasha blinks confused. The cat demon smiled happily.
"It is you." Then without warning, InuYasha was pounced on by the demon in a fierce hug. "I was beginning to think those rumors were a lie and I would never see you again! "
" blink, blink, blink Ahh...." InuYasha started, confused, until he caught smell of the so familiar scent of the demon hugging him. A scent he had not smelled in a long time. "Yasuo?" He started slowly incase he was mistaken. The cat demon smiles again and tightened the hug on our hero. At that time InuYasha tired to pry the clinging demon off him. "All right, all right," he said "ya missed me. Can you please let go of me, Yasuo?!"
At that time the others show up with one of the village elders and had seen this sight. " cough Um... Excuse me." said Miroku causing the two demons to turn and look at them and Yasuo relished his hold on InuYasha "I'm guessing that you 'found' the demon." Yasuo blinked confused.
InuYasha turned red. "YOU PERVERTED MONK!!!" he shouted.
"Why InuYasha did I insevate something?" Miroku said in an innocent pose.
"WHY YOU!!!" InuYasha shouted, as he was about to pounce on Miroku.
"SIT!" Instantly InuYasha body slams into the ground. Yasuo blinks, as he looked down at InuYasha confused.
"Ah... What just happen InuYasha?" Yasuo asked.
"I'll explain later." he said as he stood up.
"You two know each other?" Sango asked.
"We been friends for a long time." said InuYasha.
"So you two aren't an 'item' are you?" Miroku asked with a smirk. That ended with a bonk on the head from InuYasha's fist.
"Will ya shut up about that!" InuYasha said with a sneer.
At that time the kids, that where playing in the clearing, ran up to the group, surprisingly to InuYasha and Yasuo. "Wow!" said a boy "It's another demon!" The kids started pulling InuYasha's arm. Our hero blinked surprised and annoyed.
"Come play with us!" a girl said happily as they started to pull him to their playing area with Yasuo fallowing giggling. InuYasha gave a pleading look at him.
"It seems the children here aren't afraid InuYasha." said Shippo then he got upset "Why didn't they ask ME to play?"
- - -
As the kids and the two demons reached the clearing, InuYasha lean close to Yasuo. "Why are we doing this?" he asked annoyed in a whisper to him.
Yasuo gave a cheerful smile. "Don't worry InuYasha." he said "I play with them all the time."
"I didn't mean that." InuYasha said, as he was findly let go once they arrived at the clearing.
Yasuo just smiled again as he turns towards the kids. "Okay," he started "what do you kids want to play?"
Once kid grabbed near by ball as the children said in unison, "Kemari! "

Meanwhile, the others started talking to the village elder again. "So let me get this straight," Miroku started "Yasuo is not from this village?"
"That's correct." the elder said "Yasuo came to us quite by accident. One of our local woodsmen found him in the forest one day badly injured and poison by what we believed was some big insects."
"Is that so?" Miroku started "So what happen?"
"Well, after we treated him he decided to stay here and protect us from demons as gratitude for saving his life."
"The children seem to take a liking to him." said Sango.
"Aw yes." the elder said "From what Yasuo told us, that as a child the children of his old village never played with him so he was happy when our children took a liking to him and asking him to play with them."
"Thank you again elder." said Miroku "Oh can I please check you house?"
"Why is that kind monk?" the elder asked.
"I believe it's been periset by a demon and I will gladly excoide it for you. "
"No thank you kind monk." the elder said with a smile "Thanks to Yasuo, none of our houses are perisets by any demons."
Miroku blinked. "Say what?"
Sango sighed. "You heard him, Miroku." she said.
"She's right," said Shippo "The only demons around here are InuYasha, Yasuo, and I."
Kagome just looked over towards the clearing where the children started to play with InuYasha and Yasuo. She stared confusedly at the cat demon. What's the real story behind those two? she thought. Then something caught her eye. Huh? She saw something hanging around Yasuo's neck. What?! No way! Yasuo is wearing a Jewel Shard around his neck!
