Ok, next chapie. If I could get ten reviews, that would be great. I hate to be a beggar for reviews, but PLEASE REVIEW!

Inuyasha was now pacing in his new dog body.

'Okay, okay, I am not going to panic. I am not going to…OH DEAR GOD SHE TURNED ME INTO A DOG!'

He lay his head down and covered it with his paws. He whimpered a little.

"INUYAAAAAASHAAAAAAA!"

'Miroku?' He thought. He got up and headed toward the sound of Miroku's voice. He found them in a clearing all calling his name, except Kagome. He didn't want them to see him, so he hid in a nearby bush and looked through a small hole.

Sango sat down on a rock next to Kagome.

"There must be some way to make him hear us." She said.

Miroku thought for a while, then came up with an idea.

"Sango, I do so believe I have an idea!"

She gave him a weird look, and then looked at Kagome who had a very sad and depressed look on her face.

"Well then hurry up and give it a try!" she said.

Miroku took a deep breath and put his hands around his mouth to amplify the sound of his voice.

"HEY INUYASHA, KAGOME SAYS IF YOU COME BACK SHE'LL STRIP!"

SMACK

"You stupid pervert! What made you think that that would make him come?"

'Stupid idiot,' thought Inuyasha, 'of course I would come… I mean, of course I wouldn't come! I'm no perv! I'm decent….right?'

Miroku rubbed the handprint on his face and shrugged.

"Hey, if it were me, and they said that you were going to strip Sango, I'd be here in a freakin heartbeat."

SMACK

"Pervert."

Kagome watched as two of her best friends fought. She gave a very small smile and then went back to her frown. She was looking at her legs, just staring with sad eyes.

As Inuyasha saw her face, he couldn't help but whimper.

'Kagome,' he thought, 'please don't be sad! I'm right here!'

"Hey! A dog!" said a voice from behind Inuyasha. It startled him so much that he jumped right out of the bush he was hiding in into the clearing where everyone was sitting.

"Hey, you're right Shippo!" said Sango. She tried to approach him, but Inuyasha began to back up. He backed up right into the bush and his leg got cut because he backed up into a very sharp branch. His leg began to bleed a little.

"Oh you poor thing." Said Kagome. She went into her backpack and got out some gauze. She walked over to Inuyasha, and this time, he didn't move. He actually moved up so she could get to his leg easier. She quickly bandaged him up and began to scratch him behind his ears. Inuyasha was in heaven.

'My ears,' he thought, 'my one true weakness!' he lay down and turned over on his back as Kagome began to scratch his stomach.

"Where do you think it came from?" asked Shippo.

"I don't know," said Sango, "Do you think it belongs to anyone?"

"If it did, then it would probably be friendlier to all humans and not just Kagome. You remember how it walked away from you?" said Miroku.

"He." said Kagome as she continued to scratch.

"What?" said the other three in unison.

"He." She repeated. She stopped scratching for a minute and pointed in between Inuyasha's legs so that everyone would notice.

Inuyasha's eyes widened. The once white dog turned fifteen different shades of red and flipped himself over as quickly as he could. Everyone laughed.

'I have never been so humiliated in my entire life.' He thought. Kagome laughed a little more, then said

"It's okay Shiro; you don't have to be too embarrassed."

Everyone looked at Kagome.

"Shiro?" said Miroku.

"Yeah. If we're going to keep him, then he's going to need a name." she said as she once again began to scratch Inuyasha behind his ears.

"I like that name!" said Shippo.

"I second that!" said Sango.

"A fine name indeed." Said Miroku, "Plus, now Inuyasha will have a new dog friend that he can communicate with!"

He began to laugh, but was interrupted by Sango's elbow stabbing him in the side.

"What was that for?" he whispered, holding his aching side.

"Don't talk about Inuyasha in front of Kagome!" she whispered back.

However, it was too late. Kagome had heard Miroku's comment and instantly began to once again think about Inuyasha. Her grin faded, she stopped petting Shiro (Inuyasha) and her eyes changed from full of bliss, to pure sadness.

"Sorry Kagome." Said Sango, glaring at Miroku who was now cowering in fear. She shook her head.

"No Sango, it's okay. Inuyasha will be back soon, I hope. Until then, we'll just have to wait here for his return." A single small tear rolled down her cheek.

Inuyasha looked at this and whimpered.

'Kagome,' he thought, 'just wait one week. After that, you'll understand. Don't give up on me just yet…'

Okay, so that's the next chapie. I really would like about fifteen reviews before I continue, but I might change my mind. Anyway, if you have any ideas about what Inuyasha could do as a dog, don't hesitate to tell me.
