Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

"SIT!" normal dialogue

SIT! Internal dialogue
Inuyasha: Stop That! You can't do that! Only Kagome can!

EoD: Well that's where you're wrong. I don't own you but I can do what I want with you here. Now welcome the readers.

Inuyasha: Keh! Fine, hope you like chapter four of Alternate Beginnings.

EoD: Now remember readers. Please review. I need to know what I'm doing wrong. Even if you think nothing is wrong, I still want you to review. Reviews motivate a writer, and I could use the help.

Chapter three

"Sorry for screaming Mr. Inuyasha." The little girl said while riding Inuyasha's back into town. "Oh, it's alright" Said Kagome. "What do you mean 'Alright'! I have more sensitive ears than you wench!" "Inuyasha, be glad that little girl is on your back… What is your name anyway little girl?" The girl then jumped off Inuyasha's back and said "My name's Rin" and then saluted Kagome (in a very cute way, I might add). Kagome squealed and ran to the girl and hugged her. "She's so Cute!" "Yeah yeah, cute. Let's get going. Rin get on my back and don't touch the ears." Inuyasha said to Rin. "Okay" Rin said disappointedly.

Flashback

The little girl screamed. Inuyasha immediately covered his ears. "God girl, Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled at the girl. "Inuyasha! Don't yell at her! SIT!" Kagome yelled. "Augh!" Inuyasha choked out and then he slammed into the ground. Then the girl stopped screaming and went to him and said "Are you alright mister?" Inuyasha then looked at the girl with a confused look on his face. At that moment, the girl tackled Inuyasha's head and started to scratch his ears. Why do people go for the ears? "Hey! Get off!" Inuyasha yelled and pushed the girl off from his head. "Inuyasha! That was mean!" Kagome said, then she went to the girl, who look like she was about to cry. "Inuyasha! Apologize or I'll 'it' you!" "Fine, fine." Inuyasha walked to the girl and kneeled in front of her. "Sorry girl"

"Can I touch your ears?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No!"

"Please" she said while doing the puppy-dog face.

"NO!" Inuyasha yelled, intent on the ending the argument. The girl started to cry. Inuyasha started to panic. "Alright, Alright! You can touch my ears." The girl brightened. "But, not now." The girl began to cry again. "Inuyasha don't tease her! You can touch his ears later, agreed. "'Kay" the girl said. Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "Fine, Later. Alright get on my back so we can go to the village." "Alright" The little girl answered.

End Flashback

When they got farther in the forest Kagome asked "Where do you live, Rin?" Rin hesitated with her answer. "Well. Where do you live" Inuyasha asked. Rin mumbled something. "What was that, I couldn't hear you?" Kagome said. "She said she doesn't have anywhere to live." Inuyasha answered for Rin with a sad look on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry; no one is taking care of you?" "People usually don't care for orphans when their own family is poor." Inuyasha said. Kagome instantly had an idea. "Hey Inuyasha! How about she stays with us?" "I don't know Kagome. I already have enough people to baby-sit." Rin hugged Inuyasha's back harder and muffled a sob. After that, Inuyasha pushed away his pride and said "Alright. You can stay with us. You may be better company than Shippo anyways." "Thank you." Rin said in a small voice and promptly fell asleepon his back on their way to the village.

Sorry if that was short. Next chapters will hopefully be better, I Promise. All that I ask of you is that you review.
