Chapter Two: The Pound

"Aww is the poor doggy-woggy all alone? (reeeow)"

Inuyasha turned, tail flickering off the bedside, whiskers twitching and glaring eyes, sat Bouyo, the family cat.

"You're Kagome's cat right? Maybe you can help me? (ruff)" Inuyasha walked over to the bed and watched the fat cat roll over on it's side.

"Can't you see I'm busy? (rrrrr)"

"Busy? Doing what? Lying on your fat ass getting fatter? (grrr)"

"Now, now, that's no way to ask for help. (prrrr)" he slumped back over and set his paw onto Inuyasha's muzzle. "What do you need help with so badly, you gotta bother me? (reoow)"

"I'm not even suppose to be a-a-(baouu)"

"A dog? …aww what are you whining about? (mreeow)"

Inuyasha paced the floor and stared at the walls. Until he noticed a window.

"Never mind, I don't need your help. (ruff)" he dashed over to the window and leapt straight through the open space. Gracefully landing on the ground below. "Kagome's not gonna help me out on this one. Suits my fine! All I got to do is go back and teach that monk a thing or two about messing with ME! (GRRRRR)" He dashed to the sacred well, but before reaching the door, a sharp pain struck his hind legs and he stumbled to the ground. "What the hell was that? (AOUUR)"

A strange man walked over to Inuyasha, he had the same long black hair that the young monk had from before. But something was different, some of his facial features were off.

"What a nice dog. Strange it'd be out here without it's owner." He said tossing a net over Inuyasha's body. "Well, I'm sure he won't be in the pound for very long. I bet you're owners are very worried about you, boy." He lifted Inuyasha up and placed him into his parked van in front of the Higurashi shrine.

When Inuyasha awoke, he was in a strange cell with a two small bowls with hard, smelly food in one, and water in the other. He staggered to his paws, and sniffed around. The place reeked of dogs and cats. Trotting over to the bars that kept him in this prison, he looked around and observed other trapped animals.

"Where the hell am I? (grrrr)"

"First timer huh? HA! You looked like a primpy. (gruff, aou)" A young, shaggy gray dog stepped out from the shadows of his cell right across from Inuyasha's.

"Uhh…a 'primpy'?" Inuyasha tilted his head.

The dog looked like it was laughing. Then sat down and stared at Inuyasha, "You're primped up, all nice and fluffy. Did you have rich owners? Wanted to get away, huh?"

"No! That's not it! I'm not a dog! I'm a DEMON! (bark!)" He stood up, fangs flaring.

"Demon? That's a new one." The dog turned around and lye down. "Well, 'demon' you're stuck here until the humans let you out! Get used to it."

"YOU may be stuck in here, but I sure as hell won't be!" Inuyasha stepped back, then thrust his whole body at the cell. The bars wobbled a little.

"What are you doing! Wanna get yourself put down!" he was now full attention on Inuyasha's cage, other dogs were turning heads now too.

Inuyasha thrust himself again, and again. After a few more times, the bars gave way, and he was loose. The dogs took off in a barking frenzy, some starting to thrust themselves at their bars too. Inuyasha raced down the lane and out the door, into the streets of Tokyo.
