Chapter One: The Monk's Curse
The angry Inuyasha paced back and forth before the Bone-eaters well.
"Test, test, test, that's ALL she ever talks about! Sure as hell glad I ain't from her time!" He poked his head over the edge and stared into the darkness.
Not even a full day earlier...
"I'll be back in two days, ok, and don't come through the well looking for me, Inuyasha!"
"FEH! Like I'd do that! You world REEKS!"
"SIT!" Kagome grabbed the edge of the well, "Shippo, make sure Inuyasha doesn't come after me, ok?"
Shippo hobbled over, "O-Ok Kagome."
And with that, she leapt back to her own time.
Back to where I left off...
"feh! Like I care. She can do whatever the hell she wants." he plopped down next to the well and leaned against his sword.
A few hours had passed, and Inuyasha fell asleep. In the brush of the forest behind him speared a young monk. His hair was longer than Miroku's and he carried a more twisted staff in his hand. He froze at the sight of Inuyasha.
"A-A demon!" he dove deeper in the bushes. "Vial creature, the lot of them. I should teach him his place!" he grabbed the lower end of his sutra and quietly snuck up behind the well, chanting as he went.
Inuyasha's ears perked. He looked up and caught sight of the monk right as he was finishing up the spell. The sutra's around his shoulders sprung to life, and flew towards Inuyasha. The coiled around his arms and legs, then slowly devoured the rest of his body. Inuyasha was out of it. The curse had done it's job.
Before the monk, lye an innocent Bayesian dog, it whined a little, then stopped moving.
"Unusual, it's true form was this beautiful white dog. But it's no loss to me. The demon is dead, as it should be. Must have been weak to have died from the transformation…Now to dispose of the body. Don't want to worry the villagers near here." he picked up the dog and looked around. With the well right there, he figured it a convenient disposal, and tossed Inuyasha into it's depths.
On the other side of the well, the new Inuyasha wobbled to his feet…er…paws, and observed his surroundings. He knew where he was, and the fluffy tail attached to his butt wagged with joy. But getting out of the well would be a problem. He leapt to the wall, and like a cat, bounced from side to side up out of the well. He sniffed around. It was the Higurashi shrine all right. He trotted up to the wall, and slid open the door with his fuzzy new muzzle.
Inside, his claws scratched at the polished wooden floors, and the scent of steak thickened the air. He hurried down the hall and straight into the kitchen where the family sat enjoying their dinner. All froze at the site of the beautiful white dog that stood drooling at their kitchen door.
Souta jumped up, "OH WOW! A Dog! Look mom, it's so cool!"
His mom wandered over to Souta, "A dog? Where could that have come from. It really is a nice dog."
Souta rushed over to it and felt it's fluffy fur, "It's so soft! And look1 It's just like Inuyasha's necklace!" he lifted up the pearly beads decorated with an occasional fang, and showed it to his mom.
"That's strange. But, what's it doing here. The collar…?" she took a step back.
"What's going on in….h-here?" Kagome had come downstairs and stared at the fluffy new guest in the house.
Inuyasha noticed her and began wagging his tail frantically. His tongue stuck out as he rushed over to her. "Kagome! Oh man, I feel weird. After you left there was this strange monk. I don't quite understand it myself, but I wound up here. (BARK! BARK! BARK!)"
"Oh what a pretty dog! Mom, where'd it come from?" she sat down next to it and stroked his fur.
"Uhm, Kagome? (baruu)"
"We don't really know where it came from either. It was just…there." Kagome's mom walked over to it and looked at his collar, "Maybe it has an I.D. or something. It's almost impossible for a dog this clean and well groomed to be a stray."
"Well…I still have another day until I need to go back. Why don't I take it into town and see if I can find it's owner?"
"Ok dear."
"Aww man, I wanted to keep it. HEY! Can he stay in my room tonight!"
"What the hell are you guys talking about? (aruu)" he looked around as Souta grabbed his collar and pulled him down the hallway to his room.
"I always wanted a dog. Bouyo is so boring. All that cat does it eat and sleep." he stopped at his door and went inside, Inuyasha shortly behind. "Sorry boy, you need to stay in here until we're done eating. I'll be back, ok?" he shut the door and left Inuyasha to himself, trapped in a small room.
