You never know
Ch 8
Last chapter:
"It seems our plan is working perfectly. With inuyasha gone, his poor pack is to sad to gather jewel shards, leaving them all for me!"
" Yes Naraku. Do you think I should attack the demon slayer or monk now?"
"No. I would like to enjoy this suffering more. It is after all, one reason I live, ne?"
BEEEEPPPP! BEEEEEPPPP!
"Ughh, five more minutes mommy."
Kagome rolled over in her half asleep state, completely oblivious to the loud beep of the alarm.
'Grrr stupid wench! Won't she turn the stupid thing off already?" an aggravated inuyasha paced on the floor, desperately trying to ignore the loud beeping of the alarm that was being blatantly ignored by a still-asleep kagome. Inuyasha, having had enough of this noise, decided to take things into his own hands… err paws.
"BARK! BARKBARKBARKBAKRK!"
"AHHHH! wha? I'm up! I'm up!" kagome slammed the off button on the alarm, successfully shutting up the alarm and the dog.
Kagome stretched, getting up out of her bed and searching her dresser for her uniform.
'Ahhh! Let me cover my eyes first wench!' Inuyasha covered his eyes with his paws as a blush crept up his cheeks, although it could barely be seen beneath his white fur.
'Did I just see that dog blush? Na…' Kagome finished dressing, turning around to address the dog.
"Okay, I'm going to school today, so I need you to be good for mama and Sota today, cause he's sick. Keep him company, ok?"
'Oh jeeze, now I'm talking to dogs! It's not like he can understand me!'
Kagome stumbled out of the room for breakfast, wondering about her sanity.
-------------------------------------
"Kagome dear, I might not be here when you get home from school, so I need you to keep watch on Sota after school for me. Okay?"
Kagome grumbled into her cereal.
"What dear?"
"I said 'yes mom'."
"That's what I thought."
Kagome grabbed up her bag as Sota walked in the kitchen, still in his pajamas.
"Hey Sota, can you keep an eye on that dog for me today? And feel welcome to name him, even if he isn't staying very long."
Sota's face lit up, "Sure!"
'Keh, stupid wench.' Inuyasha had walked into the room as kagome left, leaving him with Sota.
"Here doggy…"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at this, keeping his distance from the sick boy. Sota crept up behind him and grabbed him around the neck.
"My sister says I get to play with you all day! And I even get to name you!"
Inuyasha looked at him like he had grown three heads. 'Name? PLAY? WTF?'
Sota pulled himself off of him, looking deep in thought.
"Hmmm… how about I name you… fluffy? No…"
'Please let him not call me fluffy, please let him not call me fluffy..'
"Inu-chan! I'll call you that cause you remind me of my "nii-san" Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha looked relieved as he turned and pushed open the screen to go outside.
'At least he didn't call me fluffy.'
------------------------------------------------------------
'Where to go, where to go…'
Inuyasha was wondering around the grounds a few hours later, bored out of his mind. He didn't dare venture back inside for fear of kagome's sick brother playing with him, like he was some mutt!
'Wait, what happened to that fox and wolf from the other day?'
As if on cue, he heard someone getting punched and that one wolf… Kaze… yelling at him.
"You pervert! What have I told you about doing THAT?"
Inuyasha followed his ears to the sound of the commotion, only to end up behind the well house to see the fox mauled and the wolf mauling.
"What are you doing back here?"
This question gained the attention of the wolf and fox.
"Well well, if it isn't the mutt from the other day. You want to finish what we started yesterday?"
Inuyasha scoffed at this. "You couldn't beat me if you tried. But that's not what I came for. I want to know…"
"What are you two?"
-------------------------------------------------------
"Come on kagome! Tell us!"
Kagome sighed and turned away. All day long her three friends had been pestering her about her "violent boyfriend". Kagome wasn't ready, and the questions were making her remember the things she had come to her time to get away from. Inuyasha's disappearance, the fight, everything.
"Look guys, I'm not ready for you guys to keep pestering me, so just leave me alone!"
Just then, the bell rang for the end of the school day and kagome took this as an opportunity to get away from her pestering friends.
"Did we say something wrong?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean?"
Kaze was confused. This dog came out of nowhere, gets into a fight with her, than asks her what she is? Doesn't his nose work at all?
" Doesn't your nose work at all? I'm a wolf and Alan is a fox! Are you retarded or something?"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at their stupidity. Of course he used his nose! Why else would he ask? They didn't smell like the normal animals from his time!
"Of course I used my nose! Why else would I ask! You don't smell like normal animals! You smell like youkai!"
"Youkai? What are youkai?"
Inuyasha sighed.
" Haven't you noticed you are different from other animals? You both smell different, you both can talk (though I don't know if to humans), and have you ever tried going into a humanlike form?"
Kaze and Alan both shook their heads confused.
Suddenly, Kagome's scent reached Inuyasha's nose, meaning she was home.
"Never mind. I have to go anyways."
He took off towards the house as kagome entered the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night
Kagome stuffed her bag full of the necessary supplies. She had to go back sometime, after all, who else would gather the shards? And the group might have found some leads to Inuyasha's whereabouts.
"Bye momma, I'm gonna go back now."
Kagome hugged her mom as inuyasha crept up behind her.
"Be careful Kagome."
"Don't worry momma, aren't I always?"
Kagome made her way out to the well house and stood by the well, finally noticing the presence of Inu-chan behind her.
"You have to stay here," she said turning to face the dog "I can't let you follow me."
Inuyasha sat down, and kagome thinking she had done her work jumped down the well.
Just as her scent left the room though, inuyasha leapt down the well after her, successfully landing on top off her in his time.
"Arg! Stupid dog! Didn't I say to stay at home!"
She climbed out of the well and turned to scold the dog (who had just made his way out of the well), when a furry cannonball attacked her.
"Kagome! Thank goodness you're here!"
Shippo was sobbing, closely followed by Kirara who eyed inuyasha warily.
"What's wrong Shippo? Calm down and tell me."
Shippo stopped crying long enough to tell her, and it was worse than she could imagine.
"The village caught on fire, even Kaede's hut, and Sango and Miroku are trapped inside!"
