A/n: Thank you to all my reviewers, this is the first time I've gotten so many reviews for one of my fanfics. I'll try to start updating quicker, guys, because I get out of school soon. In fact, tomorrow's my last day! But usually, I hardly have the time. I do a lot of Role-playing, so I focus on that a lot. Either way, I'll try to update more.

I'm too lazy to comment with my reviewers at the moment. So I just want to say thanks to all who reviewed. I love you guys! ()

Disclaimer: Do not own Inu. No suing fer you, lawyers! Baaaack off.

Canine to Feline

Chapter 2: Exploring.

A small, furry form lay curled up on Kagome's bed in the fifteen-year-old's room. Ears perked, InuYasha lifted his head slightly, opening his eyes. The golden orbs gazed lazily over the room, and he rose to his paws, yawning. The girl and her brother had left soon after finding him, to go to something the girl had called 'school.' Their mother had left as well, though he didn't know the reason, and personally, didn't care. He left off the bed, stretching, tail swishing behind him. The canine-turned-feline quickly left the room, curious to know where he was. He'd never seen a home such as this before, and a lot of the things in it confused him, as he had no idea what they were. He roamed about the house for a while, exploring about the upstairs, sticking his nose into bedrooms and bathrooms, sniffing and batting at things.

'This is one odd place...' He thought to himself, now headed downstairs with a tilted head, and confusion glinting in his golden orbs. In the living room, he blinked at a TV for a while, watching, with curiosity, the pictures on the strange box, and the noises coming from it. 'What the hell...?' What kind of world was he in now? Even the air smelt different, not nearly as fresh as in his era, as he smelled smoke, gas, and other things that were all a part of city air. He left the living room, now going into the kitchen, smelling food coming from this area. He nosed around it, too, finding a lot of cooking tools he'd never seen before, and he couldn't find the fireplace in which meals were cooked either.

'This place is just too weird...' InuYasha shook his head, going out of the kitchen, and padding back up the stairs, going back into that girl's room. He didn't know what it was like outside, which was something else he was curious about, and he noted that the Kagome girl had left her window open before leaving for school. He'd come back, but he wanted a look at the outside world first. Leaping up onto the windowsill, his golden eyes stared out the window. The ground was a long way down...

Heh, but good thing, luckily for him, was that the girl had a tree right by her window, a strong-looking branch not nearly as far as the ground was. At least there were still trees in this world, he actually recognized these. The silver cat leapt from the windowsill, and onto the tree branch. Now to get out of the tree...which would be easier if he wasn't so small. 'Why a damn cat? Why not a tiger or something if it HAS to be a feline...!' Using the sharp claws of the cat body, InuYasha slowly climbed down the trunk of the tree.

Finally, he reached the ground, and ran off to explore the outside world.

Kagome sighed, bored as hell in the classroom, hardly able to keep her head up anymore. As awake as she'd been on the walk TO school, suddenly listening to her teacher talk on and on was boring her so much, she was tired again. She let her hand and head both fall; her hand used to be holding her head up until now. She allowed her head to rest on the desk and her eyes to close. She didn't have the will-power to stay awake anymore, so to hell with it.

And so the schoolgirl slept, not really giving a damn if it got in trouble or not. It was already past lunch, so she'd probably sleep the rest of the school day, and she really didn't care, either. She was passing, her grades were good, she could afford to sleep a while, dammit. And sleeping would make the day go by faster; well, it'd seem to go by faster anyway; and she wanted to get home. The new cat excited her, after all. And she needed to buy the supplies, such as food, a collar, a bed, toys, ect. They'd gotten rid of all the cat stuff after Buyo died, but it probably would've been smart of them to keep it.

Oh well.

InuYasha had probably never been more confused nor clueless in his life. That was saying something, too. This strange world was a little TOO strange, and all the weird things in it were giving him a headache.

There weren't nearly as many plants and wildlife around, most of it some hard stuff that was like flat rock. The roads were covered in it, no longer being dirt paths like he was used to. There were still trees, but not as many, and tall buildings were everywhere, he couldn't figure out what they'd possibly be for. And, the thing he disliked the most, were the odd creatures that used the odd roads. They were like metal demons or something, and they were very loud. You could see humans in them, and InuYasha was trying to figure out if they'd eaten the humans, or if the humans were controlling them or something. But aside from these odd things, which were really cars but he didn't know that, the hanyou-turned-cat saw no other demons. Just a lot of humans walking on the side of the roads, obviously trying to avoid the loud metal demons.

Where were all the other demons, though?

That was one of the many things InuYasha couldn't figure out. But he shrugged it off, maybe there were just no demons around because this was a human village, and there just weren't any youkai in the area at the moment. That must be it. Or maybe he didn't recognize the demons of this world. He would have to remember to ask that Kagome girl, if he could find a way to speak with her without his meows which he was sure she couldn't understand. There had to be some way for that... InuYasha pondered over it as he walked down the side-walk, though he himself didn't know that's what it was.

Kagome groaned, someone poking her shoulder. Her eyelids lifted slightly, and she lifted her head. Her brown orbs narrowed at her three friends that were surrounding her desk. Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi. The first two were mega annoying, loud, and made decisions FOR her. The last one was a bit more reasonable than the other two. Of course, she'd never tell them how annoyed she was with them half the time.

"You guys are so annoying!" ..or maybe she would. You just never knew with Kagome.

"Sorry, Kagome-chan, but class is OVER now. You can wake up now!" Yuka replied, with a 'hmph.' She glared right back at the ebony-haired girl, who sighed, and stood.

"Bleh, whatever." Kagome mumbled, yawning. She exited the classroom, the three girls following behind her. She knew what the result of this would be. Yuka and Eri smiled, and the fifteen-year-old mentally groaned. 'Here it comes...'

"Kagome, did you know Hojo-kun was planning to ask you out!" Eri blurted out, and Kagome sighed.

"Considering you tell me this every day? Yes. And I don't care, I don't like him like that." The girl replied, shaking her head. She never quite knew why she never liked the boy, he was supposedly the 'hottest' guy in school. And HE liked HER. But she just didn't like him, he's not what she wanted in a guy. He was...a little too sweet. She wanted a bit more of a challenge than that. And she felt she would get one soon enough. "I'm not going out with him, and if any of you guys tell him I will..." She glared bitterly at them, "I WILL kill you." With that, the girl headed home.

InuYasha was about to head back now, he'd seen enough of this world, and he was confused as hell. He turned around, heading back the way he'd came, avoiding humans as much as possible. His feline ears perked slightly, and he blinked, hearing the distant sound of...barking? Ah, a dog. No big deal. InuYasha shrugged it off; he had dogs back home, too, and they never bothered him now. If anything, being a inu hanyou had attracted inus sometimes.

But he wasn't exactly an inu hanyou anymore. In soul, yes. Body, no. The stray dog that had been barking soon caught the scent of the cat, and its ears perked, and it searched for the creature. Dark brown eyes landed on the silver feline, and the canine took off, barking.

InuYasha blinked, the sound of barking getting closer. He looked over his shoulder, and his golden eyes widened. 'HOLY SHIT!' His fur bristled, and he hissed, though he was sure this was all cat instinct. And instinct drove him to run like hell, which he did, soon becoming a blurr of silver, that quickly out-ran the weak, and slow inu. Though gone, and the neko had arrived back at the shrine in which he now lived, InuYasha still climbed up the tree, quickly, and entered Kagome's room through the window, pouncing on the bed. 'Okay...getting chased by, basically, my own kind, is noooot fun. To hell with this world...' He sighed, curling up on the bed, now tired. Hopefully he didn't get ALL cat habits, since mostly all cats did were eat and sleep. He'd get fat that way! Oh well, InuYasha wasn't worried about it at the moment, anyway.

Kagome sighed in relief when she walked through the door of her own. "Ah, finally. Hoooome." She slipped off her shoes, noting that Souta's shoes were by the door as well, so he was home, but her Okaa-san must still be out. "Probably shopping, knowing Mama. She spends a lot of time doing that." The girl thought out loud, heading upstairs to her room. She hurried up the stairs, then went over to and opened the door of her room.

Her books and bag went flying as she tossed them in some random area of the room, then her brown orbs gazed around, and she spotted the sleeping cat on her bed. She shook her head, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Have you even moved at all today?" She walked over and sat on the bed next to the creature, stroking his soft fur for a moment, before realizing she hadn't fed him anything, he HAD to be hungry. Come to think of it, so was she. "Ah well, I'll wait until you wake up, then we'll eat together." She said to the sleeping feline, nodding her head. Then she stood, and exited the room to let her brother know she was home, and to bother him a bit.

A/n: Well, there ya go, the next chappie. Not much happening, but Kagome will begin to understand Inu soon, which may freak her out a bit. XP Anyway, I know it took me a long time, but I'll TRY to update faster, I promise.

I want to try and get 20 reviews before the next chapter. If that's not possible, I'll settle for 15. So please R&R guys! I'll be a very happy wolf if you do! wags tail Anyway, gots to go guys, see ya next chappie. I'll try to have it up in the next week if I can, and aren't too busy. I shouldn't be, I hardly do much. So, sayanora 'til then! .
