You never know

Ch 5

'Sh#t.' Inuyasha stiffened, his fir bristled. "Grrrrrrrrrr.." Inuyasha growled at the bushes. He saw the eyes widen, whether in fear or fascination, he didn't know. All he cared about at this moment was that there were two beings behind those bushes, and they could very well be dangerous. "Come out if you want to keep your scrawny hides in one piece." He heard their breath get caught in their throats and they gulped. The first one to come out was a black wolf, about his size. A reddish black fox that was about half his size closely followed it.

"Uhhh hi! Uhhh I'm Kaze and this is Alan and ummm…" She (the wolf) paused and looked up only to see inuyasha scrutinizing her and Alan.

Then Alan screamed " don't kill me!" Inuyasha gave him this look as if to say 'idiot' and Kaze smacked him.

"Alan!" she hissed in his ear. "You're an idiot." Inuyasha glowered at them.

"so what are you bunch of idiots doing in kagome's territory?" he growled out.

Kaze looked at him curiously. " Who's kagome?" she paused "is she part of that family that lives on the shrine? I didn't know they owned a dog. Come to think of it, they only have that one fur ball named Buyo." She eyed inuyasha suspiciously "what are YOU doing on their territory, dog?"

Inuyasha flinched ' Shoot. She wasn't supposed to know Kagome didn't have a dog. I am so screwed.' "You still haven't answered my question. And I asked first." Kaze looked at him

"what are we, in preschool? Who CARES who asked first!"

suddenly, as well as out of nowhere, Alan said " you look so beautiful when you're aggravated Kaze." Kaze smacked him.

' Great. No matter where I go, Miroku's personality comes back to haunt me.' Inuyasha sighed.

Kagome was lying on her bed. Night had fallen and she was thinking about Inuyasha.

I mean where could he have gone? Surely if someone had killed him they wouldn't have stolen his body. Unless… 'Ugg gross! Why would someone want to do that to Inuyasha's body? Or anyone's for that matter! But, then again, Yura wanted to cut off his head so she could have his hair… ewwww. That seemed so long ago that fight did. Before Naraku, before Kikyo, before Koga or Sesshomaru. Even before Shippo!'

Kagome sighed, reminiscing those good old (yet some slightly disturbing) times. ' I remember that was the first time he actually said my name.' Kagome started to cry. ' why did he have to go? If he is dead I wish I could see it. Its ten times more painful to not know if someone's dead or not, compared to knowing if they are or aren't alive.'

Just then a sound caught Kagome's ears. It sounded like a dog, and it was way close! Kagome ran down the stairs and put on some shoes. ' I better check it out.' She thought to herself.

" Yipe!" Inuyasha yelped. ' Man, that wolf packs quite a punch. Oww my nose is going to be sore for days.' Inuyasha looked at her. "Now what did you do that for!" Kaze looked at him with her eyes narrowed.

"Okay mutt," she began "are you gonna get out of our territory or do I have to force you to?"

Inuyasha growled " Last time I checked, fleabag, this was the Higurashi's territory. And besides, you couldn't make me leave even if you tried!"

Kaze looked outraged "How dare you! You, filthy mongrel! I could take you on anytime and win!"

Inuyasha smirked. "Oh yea? Bring it wolfturd." Kaze was about to jump on Inuyasha when a beam of light swooped over them, temporarily blinding them with its brightness.

" Hey you dogs. You had better stop fighting out here. You're going to wake up the whole neighborhood. Now go on. Get. Shoo!" Kagome stared at them. They just stood there, blinking the lights out of their eyes. "You heard me! Now get! Shoo!" Kaze and Alan ran off into the bushes. Inuyasha looked at Kagome glad she was finally here!

"Kagome it's me Inuyasha!" "Bark! Woof woof bark!" Kagome backed away.

' Gulp. I hope this dog doesn't have rabies.' Kagome thought to herself. 'I should go call the animal shelter.' Kagome ran into the house while the dog was still sitting there. She dialed the phone number of the local animal shelter. 'Come on let then pick up, let them pick up!' The phone rang once, twice, three times. Then the phone was finally picked up! Or so she thought.

"Hello, this is Inuneko animal shelter. If you are listening to this recording, we are probably either 1. Out catching an animal, 2. Putting an animal to sleep, 3…"

a few minutes later…

"12. Sleeping on the job, 13. Eating dinner, 14. Runn-" Kagome hung up the phone. "Oh forget it! I guess ill have to do this on my own." Kagome shivered. She did not want to do this.

' I don't think she recognizes me!' He thought to himself. 'Well duh. You're a dog, idiot. Of course she wouldn't recognize you.'

Inuyasha hung his head and growled to himself. Now what could he do? If she knew it was him maybe she could reverse the spell with her miko powers. But nooo. He haaad to be cursed without his voice! Now all he could talk to was mangy fur balls like Kaze and Buyo. Karma hates him.

Just then he realized that Kagome had left and was coming back. His ears perked ' maybe she recognized me!' that was before, of course, he saw the gun she was holding shakily in her hands.

"If y-y-you don't leave now, y-you stupid m-mutt, I-I-I'll shoot!"

HEHEHEHEHEHA! im so mean to you people. like i said on my last fic i may not update for awhile, so im probably going to feel guilty, leaving you with this cliffie. and for those who wanna know, number fourteen for the reasons why the animal people werent there, was running in circles. i always say that to someone when their bored.
