Chapter2

Inuyasha starts to date Kagome.

Kagome spent the rest of the day doing her chores. It was four fourty- five when she went into the house. Her mother came home at three and Kagome told her what happened. Kagome went to her room and picked out clean clothes. The she went to the bathroom and took a shower. By the time Kagome is ready it is five fifty. So she grabbed he car keys and got in her car and left. When she went into the diner she looked around and saw Inuyasha. Kagome went over to the booth he's sitting at and sat across from him.

"I see you made it good I'm glad." said Inuyasha giving her a menu.

Inuyasha ordered a steak with some salad. Kagome ordered a salad. As they ate they talked and asked each other questions.

"So Inuyasha how did your parents come up with your name?" asked Kagome.

"They named me after an ancestor I look like." said Inuyasha.

"Same here I'm named after an ancestor too." said Kagome.

"How did you get Black Magic Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.

"She was born on our ranch. My mom gave her to me when she was one-year-old." explained Kagome.

"I got Azul at the BLM auction when he was two." said Inuyasha.

"I'm surprised we haven't met at any of the barrel racing competitions." said Kagome.

"Me too Azul is very fast as you saw earlier today." said Inuyasha.

Kagome and Inuyasha talked about the up coming barrel races. Inuyasha paid the bill and walked Kagome out to her car. Before she got into her car Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and looked down at her.

"Kagome can you and I start dateing?" asked Inuyasha blushing.

"Sure when do you want to see me again?" asked Kagome blushing also.

"Same place same time." said Inuyasha smiling.

In the morning Inuyasha told his parents abour his date. After doing his chores Inuyasha tacked up Azul and went for a ride. When he found Blue Moon's herd Inuyasha dismounted. Inuyasha took off Azul's tack and let him loose. Azul is highly trained and Inuyasha trusts him. And Inuyasha knows Azul won't tun off. Azul cantered down to the herd and was greeted by Blue Moon. The two blue roans smelled each other then joined the rest of the herd. Inuyasha sat under a tree and watched the herd. Suddenly Inuyasha heard a helicopter heading their way. Inuyasha whistled for Azul and quickly tacked him. The he got on Azul and yelled " Blue Moon you and your herd better get out of here!"

Blue Moon and his herd ran off as fast as they could. Inuyasha put Azul into a canter and headed home. Once back at the barn Inuyasha untacked Azul and put him in his stall. Then her got in his truck and headed to the diner. There he meet Kagome and had dinner.

"There will probaly be an BLM auction soon." said Inuyasha.

"Why do you say that?" asked Kagome.

"I heard a helicopter while I was watching Blue Moon's herd." said Inuyasha.

"I hope Blue Moon's herd didn't get caught." said Kagome.

"Me too because Blue Moon's herd is my favorite herd." said Inuyasha.

The next day after breakfast Inuyasha read the newspaper. He saw that there will be a BLM auction in one week.

"I just hope Blue Moon's herd didn't get caught." said Inuyasha to himself.

Then Inuyasha went out to do his chores. As he fed the chikens Azul followed him with the chicken feed in his mouth. Not only is Azul highly trained he is also very smart.

"Ok that tkes care of the chickens. Ok Azul put the chicken feed away and go get the slop for the pigs." said Inuyasha.

Azul put the chiken feed away and got the bucket of slop. He walked up to Inuyasha and gave him the bucket. Inuyasha patted him and poured the slop into the pig's trough. Jem and Jack watched Inuyasha and Azul as they hung up laundry on the clothes line outside.

"They say there's nothing like a boy and his dog. In our case there's nothing like a boy and his horse." said Jack.

Jem laughed and shook her head. Inuyasha put the empty bucket on the back porch. Then he and Azul carried bales of hay over the castle and fed them.

"Ok Azul I'm done with my chores. You know what that means." said Inuyasha.

Azul nicked and pawed at the ground with his hoof.

"That's right it's time for our barrel racing drill." said Inuyasha.

Inuyasha set up the barrels in the corral. Then he groomed and tacked Azul. Inuyasha then rode Azul out to the corral. Then he warmed up Azul by cantering around the corral. Jack walked up to the corral with a stopwatch in his hand.

"Ready when you are Inuyasha." said Jack.

Inuyasha nodded and rode Azul out of corral a little ways. He turned Azul to face the corral and waited for his father's signal. Jack dropped his hand and Inuyasha put Azul into a gallop. Useing the reins, his weight, and legs Inuyasha raced Azul around the barrels. When Inuyasha and Azul passed by Jack he stooped his stopwatch. Inuyasha drilled Azul three more times then colled him down.

"What's our best time dad?" asked Inuyasha.

"Fourteen point two seconds is your best time." said Jack smiling.

After Inuyasha untacked Azul he gave him a bath. Azul is usually a porfessional but when Inuyahsa gives him a bath Azul loves to play. As the weeks and months past Inuyasha and Kagome got closer and closer. Inuyasha had gone to the BLM auction and saw that Blue Moon's herd didn't get caught. He didn't buy a horse while he was there either. Today is a barrel race competition Kagome and Black Magic already went. Their times was 14.141 soon it will be Inuyasha's and Azul's turn. At the end Kagome and Inuyasha tired for first. Inuyasha's parents and Kagome's mother were there. They are all proud of them.
