chapter two
Love in a animal shelter
Inuyasha walked into the animal shelter hearing barking dogs and meowing cats all over the place.A few people walked out with a dog or cat in their arms and some people were bringing in an animal to drop them off to a already stuffed shelter.As Inuyasha walked in further into the building he noticed a face that was always on his mind and in his dreams.
Kagome waved bye to one of the workers that were helping them around and then turned to Souta and sighed "Sorry Souta,I was pretty sure we would find Buyo here...I guess I was wrong..." Even though Kagome had told herself not to get her hopes up she had anyway and now she was feeling pretty down for not being able to get Buyo back for her little brother.
When Kagome looked up she locked eyes with the least person she expected to be in a animal shelter,Inuyasha Takahashi,a guy who had caught her eye and heart since the beginning of school.
"Sis who are you looking at?" Souta asked trying to see over a large dog on a leash that had sat in front of him while the owner filled out some paper work.
Kagome and Inuyasha both blushed and looked when they realized that they were staring at eachother.Kagome took Souta's hand to make sure he followed her and began to walk towards Inuyasha,She hadin't seen him since school let out for christmas break.
'Oh no! what do I say! I cant tell her that I came here for her cat so she'll like me more!' Inuyasha was panicing and wanted to leave before she got to him but his body wouldin't agree with his brain and so he stayed planted to the ground while Kagome and her younger brother made their way over to him.
"Hey Inuyasha,How have you been? Are you here to adopt a dog or something?" Kagome sent him a smile that always made his heart pound even more.
"Uh...um...keh! Like I would want to get a dog I only came here because I was...was going to look and see if my little brother would want any of the animals so he would stop bothering me" Inuyasha said trying not to look like an idiot in front of her.
"Oh really? Thats really nice of you to do for Shippo" Kagome smiled even brighter when he said he was doing it for Shippo.Kagome and Shippo had become good friends right when they met,probably because Kagome gave him some of her candy that she had bought on the way over to Inuyasha's house.
"Yeah but I dont think Shippo really needs a dog since he cant even take care of a hamster" Inuyasha said mostly to himself. "So um what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked hopeing that he would be able to talk to her even longer.He had missed her over the week they had been apart.They usually were always together in school and on the weekends he,Kagome,and their friends would go to either one of their houses and just hang out.But with school out Shippo had become a hand full and was always keeping him busy.
"Well you see our cat Buyo,got out last night and we havin't seen him since so we were hopeing we would find him here but it looks like they havin't found him either." Kagome said not feeling as happy as she had a moment ago.But she forced a smile back on her face when she saw Souta look even sadder. "But still im sure we'll find him very soon! It cant be that hard to find Buyo" Kagome said trying to reassure herself and Souta.
"Oh well...I guess I could help you find your cat or atleast look around a little or something..." Inuyasha said looking away hopeing that she wouldint notice a blush forming on his face.But before Kagome could say anything Souta made his presence known.
"Wow really! You'll really help us find Buyo,thats great Inuyasha! I knew you were the best!" Souta said looking up at Inuyasha as he always did when Inuyasha said something he found cool,Souta smiled that Kagome hadin't seen all day long whitch made her even happier so that made her even happier.
"Keh! Sure I will" Inuyasha said knowing that Kagome's younger brother always looked up at him,he always though it was cool that someone thought of him as their hero.
Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and gave him something he only had dreams of,a hug and a kiss on the cheek (on the lips would have been even better but he could live with this) "Thank you so much Inuyasha,you dont know how much this makes me happy" Inuyasha just stood their shocked.
"Well we have to go now..bye" Kagome said stepping away from him with a big bright blush covering her face and Inuyasha also with the same blush on his face.Even though Souta hadin't been her normal,annoying younger brother for half of the day he had to start somewhere...
"Yuck! thats digusting sis!" Souta said making a disgusted look on his face.Kagome and Inuyasha just blushed even more.
"Well gotta go,bye!' Kagome quickly said and walked out the door dragging her younger brother along with her.Inuyasha stood their for a moment shocked that Kagome had just kissed him. 'Well okay maybe it wasin't like a real kiss but still!' Inuyasha's mind reminded him.People began to stare at the strange boy with a dazed look on his face so Inuyasha quickly left so he could find miroku and thank him for giving him for telling him to go to the animal shelter now what he wanted from Miroku was more info on finding a missing cat.
When Kagome and Souta got back to their house Kagome's mother called her into the room saying her friend Sango was on the phone.
"Hey Sango"
"Kagome you sound tired are you okay?" Sango asked worried about her friend that she had known ever since first grade.
"Yeah...I never knew looking for a cat could be so hard.." Kagome answered as she leaned against the wall for support.Kagome was tempted to ask Sango if she had ever gone through this but she already knew Kirara,Sango's cat,was way to loyal to leave Sango and to smart to get lost.
"Well dont give up kag you'll find him soon,besides cats are very good with finding their way back home.he'll come back sooner or later for all the table scraps your family gives him" Sango said hopeing that she was making her friend feel atleast a little better.
Kagome laughed softly at the comment knowing that it was true,the reason Buyo was so fat was because they spoiled Buyo with all the people food. "Yeah your right he has to come back sooner or later." Kagome replied feeling better already.Kagome then remembered Inuyasha telling her that he would help find Buyo.
"Hey Sango,when me and Souta went down to the animal shelter earliyer I saw Inuyasha there and he said he would help us find Buyo!" Kagome smiled brightly remembering the how happy she was but then she blushed cherry red when she remembered giving him a kiss on the cheek 'I cant believe I kissed him on the cheek! but he didint seem to mind...' Kagome's mind wondered off while she only half lisened to Sango.
"Really? Wow thats great im happy that he would do that!" Sango smiled trying her best to act surprized.She didint want Kagome knowing that she asked Miroku to ask Inuyasha help in the search because knowing Kagome she would begin to think he was only doing it because she or Miroku forced him in to it and she didint want to ruin Kagome's happyness.
"Yep! I couldint believe it either,its not really like Inuyasha to want to help out in something like this but im glad he is wanting to help...maybe we'll get closer!" Kagome thoughts began to wonder about their first date with a romantic dinner by candle light or a walk on the beach at sunset...although when Kagome began to really think about it she probably wouldin't be able to see her dinner without any lights on and she didint really like the feeling of sand under her feet and Inuyasha wouldin't like all that 'mushy' stuff.
"Uh Kagome...? Inuyasha probably wouldint really be the romantic type to go on a date like that..." Sango said into the phone.
"Huh?..." Kagome didint understand what her friend was talking about untill she realized that she had been talking aloud the whole time "Please tell me I wasint talking aloud!" Kagome pouted with another blush forming as her friend laughed at her on the other end of the phone.
As Sango calmed down she heard a beep meaning that someone was on the other line "Well Kagome its been a amusing chat but my dumb boyfriend is on the other line so I have to go.bye!"
Sango hung up the phone and then picked it up again when it rang,already knowing it was Miroku "Hey Miroku,whats up?"
"Hello beautifull,I just couldin't wait to hear your lovely voice again..." Miroku was about to go on with his praise but Sango rolled her eyes and cut him off.
"Miroku you know I hate it when people talk like that to me why must you keep on doing things to make to me to come over their and hit you?" Sango sighed as she settled down in her computer chair and read her emails.She never was fond of people calling her beautiful or anything else,she didint really think of herself as pretty so when other people said stuff like that it made her feel uncomfortable.But being Miroku's girlfriend was slowly making her get use to the compliments.
"Ah but Sango my love I am just speaking the truth about the most wonderfull creature on earth that happens to be my girlfriend."
Sango looked down her emails and saw Inuyasha's email address.It was rare that Inuyasha sent her anything unless it was really important.When she started to pay attention to Miroku again he was going on and on and on with his praise to her and what to name their future children.
"Hold on Miroku Inuyasha sent me a email so stop talking about kids we're never gonna have."
"But Sango my love..." Instead of replying she ignored him and read her email.
'Sango I need you to tell me all that you know about finding cats and all of the places I can look to find a cat.I am NOT looking for Buyo I am just curious on how to look for a cat if I were to ever lose or something like that.
Inuyasha -oh yeah and Im NOT looking for Kagome's cat so dont think it!- '
Sango looked laughed softly at Inuyasha's pathetic attempts at trying to make her think that he was 'not' looking for Kagome's cat.But she also thought it was kinda sweet that he would come to her for help even though he wouldin't really admit it.
"Miroku are you still talking?" Sang asked while typing a way on her keyboard.
"Yes I have Sango my dear...so what did Inuyasha have to say?" Miroku asked remembering that Sango had said that she got a emali from Inuyasha.
"Nothing much,but he did say he wanted me to give him ideas on how to find Buyo."
"Ya know Inuyasha and Kagome have been beating around the bush about their relationship for years,I think that this may be the thing that will finally get those two together." Miroku said while messing around with pencils and pens that were on his desk.
"Yeah I know,I think we should help them out without actully meddling in their business..." Sango smirked when she looked back on all the meddling they had done in the past but none of those ideas worked.
"And how do you think we should do that?" Miroku asked already knowing that no matter what would happen they were gonna get in trouble.Miroku just grinned 'But that just makes it even more fun..'
Sango paused to think for a moment. "well I do have this one idea..."
Thank you all for the reviews! thank you Umi Kururugi for telling me that Buyo was a 'he' not a 'she'.I honestly thought buyo was a female because all calico cats are always female and never male.So I plan to fix this in the first chapter and i am gonna go back over the first chap and try to fix all my mistakes.Anyways I hope to get the third chap out soon.
