Chapter 11:

Dinner was being served by Mrs. Ketchum. Kagome had intriduced Pooch to everyone, and he was now eating some of Brock's Pokemon food with Tokepi and Pikachu.

"So, what are you going to do now that you'rea trainer Kagome?" Brock asked.

"I think I'll just keep Pooch as a pet more than battling with." Kagome replied. "I really don't think it's fair to use them for fighting."

"That's a very good way to look at it." Mrs. Ketchum comented.

"Yeah, well... I really don't like to watch fights." Kagome said.

"You can still train though. Making Pooch stronger wouldn't hurt." Misty said.

"True." Kagome said before she took the last bite of her meal. "That was delicious Mrs. Ketchum."

"Thank you Kagome. You can just leave your plate there." Mrs. Ketchum replied.

"Thank you. I think I'll go to bed now." Kagome said as she stood up. "Good night everyone." She said before getting Pooch and taking him upstairs with her.

"Good night Kagome!" Everyone replied.

"So, Ashley, how's Professor Oak?" Ash asked with a mouthful of food in his mouth.

"Would some manners kill ya?" Misty mumbled

"He's fine. You and Inuyasha should go visit him tomorrow." Ashley replied.

Then Ash turned to the pokemon who were eating. "How about it Pikachu? You wanna go see Professor Oak tomorrow?" Ashed asked.

"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"Alright. Then we'll go see him tomorrow afternoon." Ash declared before he continued to wolf down his food.

"Ash! Chew your food. I don't want you chiking on me." Mrs. Ketchum said.

"I hungry though Mom!" Ash exclaimed with a mouth full of food.

"But it still wouldn't kill ya to use some manners!" Misty yelled.

"I need to eat!" Ash yelled back, spitting some food on Misty in the process.

"What does that have to do with manners?" Misty yelled back. "You can still eat and keep you're mouth shut, can't you?"

"Oh stop bicker, the both of you." Ashley told them. Then she turned to Brock. "You deal with that everyday?"

"Yep. But you learn to tune it out after a while." Brock replied.

Ashley let out a slight chuckle befor eshe stood up, taking Kagome's and her own plate to the sink. "Thanks for dinner Mom. I'm gonna take a walk with Eevee before I head to bed. Be back." She told everyone as she headed to the door, closing it behind her.

Inuyasha watched Ashley as she headed out the door, wondering where she was going exactly. But pushed the wonders to the back of his mind and stood from the table. "I think I'll head to bed too." Inuyasha announced.

"Okay. Sleep well." Mrs. Ketchum replied. "You can just leave your plate. Good night."

"Thanks." Inuyasha said. "Good night."

"Good night." Everyone replied. Then Inuyasha headed upstairs, but took a turn towards where Kagome was sleeping. He looked in the room and saw that she was awake. He went in.

"Kagome?" He asked.

"Hey Inuyasha. Look! I taught Pooch a new trick!" Kagome exclaimed. Then she turned to Pooch. "Play dead." She told Pooch before he fell over and actually looked dead. Then she knelt down a rubbed his belly real quick before standing and looking at Inuyasha. "What do you think?" She asked, holding Pooch in her arms.

"Cute." Inuyasha mumbled. "Look Kagome, you can't keep Pooch."

"Why not?" Kagome asked.

"Because it'll be took much trouble for us to drag him along while we're looking for jewel shards!" Inuyasha raised his voice.

"WHy are you yelled?" Kagome yelled back. "Besides, he's not yours and your not the boss of me! I chose to have him, and I'm gonna keep him and take care of him!"

"We're not keeping him." Inuyasha growled.

"Yes we are." Kagome growled back.

"Why are you always so stubborn!" Inuyasha yelled, leaning forward towards Kagome.

"Why are you always such a jerk!" Kagome yelled, pressing her forehead to Inuyasha's.

The two glared at each other for what seemed like forever. Then Kagome smiled. "You're jealous, aren't you?" She teased.

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked as he pulled away from Kagome, a blush on his cheeks. "W-what are you talking about?"

"You think that if I take Pooch, you're not gonna get any attention from me and Pooch is gonna get all the attention." Kagome told him, a smirk on her face.

"Th-that's stupid! Why would I get jealous of some mutt?" Inuyasha asked as he stuck his nose in the air.

"You're a mutt too." Kagome said as she rubbed his ears.

Inuyasha glared at her. He would never admit it, but he liked it when she rubbed his ears. But he shook her hand away and turned to her to only see her smile. He looked at Pooch, wondering what Kagome would do if he tried to snatch the thing away from her. She'd probably Sit him fifty times for it. "Whatever." Inuyasha said before quickly turning and walking out of the room, leaving Kagome with Pooch.

Kagome went over to the door and watched Inuyasha walk down the hall and head for the room he was sharing with Brock and Ash. After he dissappeared into the room, she closed her own door and got ready for bed.

AN- Yeah yeah. This story is really going down hill for me. I really don;t know how much longer it's going to last, but probably not too much longer. So... Plz R&R. THanx! TTFN!
