Hiya people! Sorry I haven't written in so long, but once again I was stuck. I asked for help this time but no one offered to help! I feel so unloved. Don't you know that the future of this fic was at stake? I might have never been able to continue! I just wanted a little help. SNIFF.

KIKI: Stop your whining bitch.

Geez. Try and get a little sympathy and get you head bitten of.

Disclaimer: I wish I could say that I owned Inu-Yasha, but I would be lying.

"That we need to better understand your situation a bit better before we allow you to come. If you are able to, have no doubt that we would be glad to take you." Miroku stated,

Kenishi just nodded. What else could she do? She just prayed to Kami that she did not screw up in her explanation.

"Good. First off, what were you doing wandering around Inu-Yasha's Forest alone?" Sango was the first to ask, her curiosity too high to be called normal. It could be called suspicion. Yuokai rarely left their young unattended, especially so early in the morning.

"I was just walking. I got bored of staying in my cave so I started to walk around." Kenishi stated simply.

"And ye parents are alright with ye walking around so early into the day?" (If you do not know who this is, you do not know shit about Inu-Yasha)

Shippo inhaled sharply. Her earlier reaction made him unsure what she would now do. Oh sure, if she started to cry now he would waste not a second to comfort her, but it would be embarrassing in front of everyone, especially Miroku. He did not doubt for a second that the hentai houshi would find a way to humiliate him later in front of Kenishi.

That thought angered him. He did not know why, but the thought of anyone making Kenishi think less of him caused him to feel a rage he had never quiet felt before. He realized it was his yuokai raging at the idea. He could not understand. Why would it do that? He liked Kenishi, yeah, but why would the idea of her thinking lightly of him cause him so much frustration?

He suddenly became aware of everyone staring at him. He did not understand at first, but suddenly realized he had been growling and flexing his small sharp claws. He blushed cutely and sat down as far as his already small body could get.

Kenishi soon felt sorry for the poor boy, she knew that his growling had something to do with her and the question. Probably he did not want her to cry again.

'He is so sweet.'

She started. Where on earth had that thought come from? No matter, she would help him now just as he had helped her earlier, even if this was just a little offer compared to what he did earlier.

'It is just payback. Nothing more. Right?"

"They will not care." She said dully.

"Why do you think that?" Sango asked softly.

She had seen the way Kenishi's demeanor changed. Her hair had dulled, along with her eyes, and even her skin seemed to give off a grayish glow. That, she knew, meant that the demon was in a serious moment of depression.

Family was important to Sango; the thought that this young kit believed her parents did not care was heartbreaking to hear.

"They cannot care. They died, years ago…"

"So I just put in the 'tape' I want, push play, and then put the headphones on when I go to sleep?" Inu-Yasha asked. (A/N: I do not really know if you listen to the stuff awake or asleep but for the sake of the story, it will be sleeping. Imagine Inu walking around with self-help tapes playing as a demon attacked. LOL!)

"Yes." Mrs. Higurashi smiled. When she had first given him the stuff he had flat out refused to even take them, let alone use them. She giggled as she remembered what happened.

FLASHBACK (I have ALWAYS wanted to do a flashback.)

"I won't! I would rather die! Do you know just how the hell everyone would laugh if they found out what these things were? What they are used for! I would be the fuckin' laughing stock of the whole fricken' village!"

"Oh come on In-"

"NO! Never in six hundred million years!"

"But Inu-"

"NO! Go find someone else who's mind you can screw with!"

Mrs. Higurashi rubbed her temples. She was trying to be patient, she really was. But like Kagome said, he had a way of bringing the worst in people.

Now, Mrs. Higurashi had an almost infinite amount of patients, but on the few occasions that she did lose her temper…well, let us just say Inu-Yasha was about to find out.

"Inu-Yasha. It's been proven that these things are able to do quiet a bit of help-"

"NEVER"

That was it. The last of her restraint broke.

"INU-YASHA. YOU WILL TAKE THESE TAPES, LISTEN TO THEM AT NIGHT, AND YOU WILL NOT WHINE. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?"

Her voice had changed to match a demon's, and she had backed Inu-Yasha to a wall. Her eyes were shadowed though there seemed to be an evil glow to them. The aura Kagome got when she was at her maddest now appeared behind Mrs. Higrurashi, only hers was more scary than powerful. Inu-Yasha was now curled up and whimpering and whining softly as his whole body shook as badly as if someone had thrown him into the North Pole naked. It was pretty bad when you could give a hanyou the ooby gobbies.

"IS THAT UNDERSTOOD? TRUST ME; YOU DO NOT WANT ME TO ASK YOU AGAIN. KAPEESH?"

"Kape-kape-kap- yes."

"Good. Now, lets have some tea now," Mrs. Higurashi seemed back to normal as she set about preparing the drinks.

Inu-Yasha just sat there in the corner whimpering softly, afraid that Kagome's mom would snap off at him again.

'Now I DEFINATLY know where Kagome got it.'

END FLASHBACK

"Good morning Mom, Inu-Yasha." Kagome said cheerfully as she ambled down the stairs.

Inu-Yasha, (who was still in the corner) looked up and lunged behind her shouting,

"SANCTUARY!"

He just stayed behind her the rest of the time shaking as Kagome and her mom shared looks.

"You lost it again?"

"Yep."

Kagome turned and smiled at the angry hanyou. He hated it, but he was scared. To a mortal woman no less! How humiliating! He could fight demons, chase down Naraku, and argue with Kagome, yet he could be intimidated by this small excuse of a female? Oh was he glad no one else witnessed that.

To wrapped up in his thoughts he was, to notice Kagome smiling in a small and sympathetic way.

"Why do you think I'm always such a Mama's girl?" Kagome asked laughing.

"Huh?"

"Oh come on. People may get along well with their parents, but my relationship seemed a bit too sweet to be true. We do naturally get along, but I don't argue with her too much because… well… you've seen how bad she gets if you push her hard enough."

"That's putting it mildly." Inu-Yasha replied his face sour and his voice acid.

Kagome just laughed and picked up her bag. It was then that she noticed his own bag. It was not a tent like hers, only about six by six inches, and had hand strings.

"Hey Inu-Yasha? What… what is in that bag?"

Naturally Inu-Yasha panicked. Kagome saw this and as he stumbled to answer she braced herself. She had learned that when he panicked, words of hurt were soon to answer.

Inu-Yasha knew too. He did not want to argue with her after just a few hours of forgiveness, nor did he want her to know what was in the bag.

"Keh. Ain't any of yer business wench. Just some stuff your mom thought would help me out."

Inu-Yasha surprised both of them. They had both expected him to explode, or at least act on impulse, yet his answer was fairly…good, considering whom we were talking about. Kagome decided not to jinx it and just go.

"Well…okay. Lets head back before the others get to upset."

"Keh."

Inu-Yasha strode forward and scooped up her bag along with his and set out.

"Thanks Inu-Yasha…" a normal human would not have even heard it, but he had.

When Kagome had woken up that morning she had rolled out of bed and landed on her shoulder. By the time she had gotten into the shower it had bruised an ugly purple color. Not visible through her clothes, it hurt a little every time anything was put on it. Inu-Yasha could smell her pain, not to mention see her discomfort at holding things.

Inu-Yasha blushed lightly, glad he was upfront so it wasn't visible to her, and said just loud enough for her to hear,

"Ain't nothing to thank wench. It hurt you and doesn't bother me, so might as well."

Well, well? Considering I had to do this on my own I think its pretty good. I ask for a little help and what do I get? Nothing. Well, that's not true. ONE person had the decency to offer me some help.

Come on guys! I just asked for a little help to finish this chapter and I only get one person. Have a heart people!

Anywho, I know a lot of people wanted more Inu and Kags interaction, so I added it along with Inu and mom, and Kenishi and everyone.

Next chapter Kags meets Kenishi. Will she get a new pup to adopt? Or will she get a rival for Shippo's heart?

I know its not much of a cliffhanger, but I hate it when authers do that to me and don't update for days, so I wont do it to you.

READ AND REVIEW

See ya!

Lil' Pup out

P.S.

I know Inu was OOC
