Disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own Inuyasha or it's characters. Tsuruko (pronounced Sue-RUE-co), Seiki (pronounced SEE-Kee), and Tigonshi(tee-GON-she) are characters I created. I dont know if they are from the show or from anything else. I thought them up, so if they are from the show or anything else, they're still mine... :)
Chapter 3: The Park and Tsuruko
Now back through the well again. Inuyasha and Kagome are walking around the park near Kagome's house. It's spring and everything is blooming, it's so calm and peaceful. Inuyasha lifts up Kagome and is carrying her in his arms, Bridal Style, while she has her arms around his neck. Inuyasha sets down Kagome, and tells her to hop up on his back, which she does. He then hops up into a tree and put her out in front of him, she hung onto the branch and he leaned back against the tree. Kagome crawled over to him and lie down against him, and fell asleep. Inuyasha stroked her hair, and then noticed some kids playing with a ball, and one getting excluded. He was annoyed by this and started to get up, but then remembered that Kagome was laying on him, asleep, and lie back down. She woke up a minute later and Inuyasha told her that he has to take care of something and helped her down to the ground. She watched him as he went over to the kid that was being excluded. He asked the kid why he is sitting all alone, and the kid told him that the other kids bullied, and made fun of him because he is 1/4 demon. Inuyasha felt sorry for him since, as a kid, he was picked on, teased, and bullied. He asked the boy his name and he politely told him, "Tsuruko is my name."
Inuyasha lifted Tsuruko up and told him, "Dont let them bother you, ignore their teasing, and when they pick on you, just pretend they're not there. And when they bully you, give em a good punch, any demon is good at that...we are stronger than humans." He put the kid down and went over to the group of kids he had seen picking on Tsuruko, the kids saw him comming over. He looked human with his long, sharp, claws retracted and behind his back a little, and his Dog-like ears down flat to his head, his hair swished as he walked, like the tail of an anxious puppy waiting to play. Kagome just watched him, loving him even more seeing how kind he is being to Tsuruko. She could tell what he was gonna do. Inuyasha got up to the kids and asked, "See that kid over there?" and waited for the answer.
"Yeah, the demon kid. So?" the kids replied.
"Well, he is...LIKE ME!" As he said 'like me', he flared up his ears, pulled his hands out from behind his back, and extended his claws the furthest they would go. The kids were so scared by Inuyasha they were tried to run away, but fell over each other. One would try and get up, then another and the second one would knock the first one down on top of himself. Kagome laughed at what she saw. Inuyasha the told the kids, "You better leave Tsuruko alone, or you will be in trouble with me."
Kagome came up to him and hugged him, saying, "Lets go home."
Wondering, Inuyasha said, "Why?"
Kagome simply replied, "To have some fun."
