Chapter 2:
The cab stopped in front of a house on main street. Kagome reached for her purse to pay the driver. She pulled out a $50 and handed it to the man.
"Keep the change as a tip." Kagome told him.
"Thankyou." The driver replied. "Merry Christmas." He said as Kagome got out of the cab.
"Same to you." Kagome replied, then she got out of the cab and walked up to the steps of her home.
She pulled out her keys and first unlocked the pad lock above the doorknob. Then she took a different key and stuck it in the key hole in the doorknob.
She opened the door and walked in.
The house was decorated on the inside with plenty of decorations for Christmas. There was a Christmas tree, decorated with the lights and shiny little sphears hanging from the branches. There was misiltoe hanging on the ceiling from the party she had thrown last night. She needed to take it down.
"Kiba!" Kagome called through the house. "Kiba!"
Then a little, blackhusky puppy ran out of the kitchen, sliding across the tile floor and slamming into the cabinets that were below the sink on his way out.
The puppy bark as it ran closer to Kagome.
"Kiba!" Kagome exclaimed as she picked up the puppy. "Have you been a good boy while mommy was gone?" Kagome asked the puppy, who replied by licking Kagome's cheek.
Kagome laughed before putting Kiba down and then she walked into the kitchen. She opened up the refrigerator and looked inside. She took out a container of what looked like left over chinese take-out. Then she pulled out a can of wet puppy chow food.
Kagome looked down at Kiba. "You hungry boy?" Kagome asked as she opened the can and put some in a small bowl. She added some dry food to it, put some warm water in, then mixed it up and served it to Kiba. "Eat up!" She exclaimed, and Kiba walked over to his meal and started eating it.
Then Kagome put the leftover take out into the microwave and set the timer for one minute. She kept her eye on Kiba to make sure he wouldn't spill his food until her meal was done. Then she took her food out of the microwave and ate it as she watched Kiba eat his food until he was done.
Once Kiba was done, Kagome walked out into the living room where the TV was and sat down on the couch as she ate her meal.
Kiba followed her out into the living room and jumped up onto the couch and laid his head on her lap, while kagome ate her meal and watched reruns of the TV show Full House. Then Kagome heard the doorbell ring.
"Coming!" She called to whoever was at the door. Then Kagome got up, apologizing to Kiba as she stood, then she walked over to the door, followed by Kiba.
Kagome looked through the eye hole in the door.
It's that boy that crashed into me! What was his name again? Inu...Inuyasha? Yeah! That's it! Inuyasha! But what is he doing here? And how does he know where I live? All those questions ran through Kagome's head as she opened the door.
"Hey!" Kagome explained. "What are you doing here?"
"I... umm... You dropped this." Inuyasha said as he handed Kagome a wallet.
"Oh!" Kagome said as she took the wallet back. "Thank you." Kagome told him.
"Well, better be going." Inuyasha said as he started to walk away.
"Umm... I'm sorry about earlier. Would you like to come in?" Kagome asked.
"Sure." Inuyasha replied as he walked in. "Thanks."
"Sure. It is Christmas after all." Kagome replied. "Do you want something to drink? Coffee? Eggnog?" Kagome offered.
"Sure." Inuyasha replied.
"OK. I'll be right back." Kagome said as she walked out into the kitchen and started the coffee machine, then she walked back out to Inuyasha to find Kiba in a defensive position, growling at Inuyasha.
"KIBA!" Kagome scolded the pup, who whimpered and backed away in fear towards his mother, Kagome, whining and whimpering, sounding like he was trying to say sorry.
Kagome bent down and picked him up and pet him as she talked. "I'm sorry." She told Inuyasha. "He doesn't take kindly to strangers."
"It's OK. Most animals don't like me too much." Inuyasha replied.
"Why's that?" Kagome asked.
"I'm a half demon." Inuyasha replied, pointing to his doggy ears.
"Oh! I was wondering why you had those ears." Kagome replied.
But Inuyasha was glad that Kagome was a dog person.
"So...... You never did tell me your name." Inuyasha stated.
"Oh! Sorry. I probably should tell you now." Kagome said a bit sheepishly. "My name's Kagome." Kagome told Inuyasha as she stuck out her hand, using the other arm to hold onto Kiba.
"Good to meet you Kagome." Inuyasha replied as he shook Kagome's hand.
