Disclaimers: I do no own Inuyasha
Circus Dog
Chapter 2. Full of surprises.
Inuyasha's face was practically glued to the TV. He had no idea what it was! He stared at the black box curiously. How did I work? Suddenly, the TV turned on, thanks to him pushing a certain big button, and blinded his eyes.
Inuyasha yelped, leaping away from the TV while rubbing his eyes. That had hurt!
"Inuyasha! You ok?" Kagome yelled running from the kitchen towards the room. She had soapsuds all over her hands and her clothes were a bit wet.
"Hn?" Inuyasha snorted at her, as if he weren't ok! It was just…It just happened so suddenly!
She narrowed her eyes dangerously at him, "Well glad to see you still have that attitude of yours."
"Keh!" Inuyasha folded his arms into his sleeves evading eye contact with Kagome. He always got a warm, fuzzy feeling when he looked into her hazel eyes. He couldn't quite figure out why though. Even back in the alley, when he first glimpse into her eyes, something sparked.
He didn't like it.
"Fine, be that way. I'm going to finish up the dishes and go sweep up the dirt outside.(even if it will not make a difference… Grandpa would kill me if I didn't take care of the shrine while he was gone..) You can sit here and watch whatever you want on the TV." Kagome grounded out, walking steamily away. 'The nerve! He doesn't even talk and he's arrogant! Imagine if I did get him to speak again! It would be a disaster!' She pouted.
Inuyasha waited impatiently for Kagome to leave the room. His cheeks were so incredibly pink at the moment they would be even worse if she stuck around to see him like that. He let out a sigh of relief. She was gone. Now onwards in discovering how to work the damn contraption! He sat doggy style, observing what was currently playing. Surprisingly, it was the news. He blinked and cocked his head to the side, watching the woman with the funny big hairdo speak.
-On recent news, a white Samoieda dog has gone missing from the famous 'Cirque de freak'. I am told that it is a very dangerous creature that will attack anything and anyone. So please, if you see this horrible dog, find shelter immediately and call 'Cirque the freak' at 548-0745…and you will proceed and talk to the head master Naraku-
Just the name of the circus made him growl. He snarled at the picture of Naraku that appeared on the screen. He probably hired the F.B.I to search for him. This was a disaster!
"Mother fucking bastard." Inuyasha snarled at the TV with a thick malice voice.
Kagome on the other hand, from all the way in the kitchen, had heard the TV turn on and shortly after that, the familiar "Mother fucking bastard" that could have only come from one person. She dried the plate with her t-towel and rushed over to the TV room, "Inuyasha! Did I hear what I thought I heard!"
Inuyasha appeared to not have heard a single word spoken. He simply continued his vicious growls at the TV.
Kagome blinked turning her attention to the TV screen. She noticed the picture of a man on the screen and a number. "Na-ra-ku?" Kagome pronounced, "Hey! That's what the other demon thingy said! Is that where you came from?"
Once again, he seemed to ignore every word she spoke. His eyes flashed warning red colours at the screen.
"I'm guessing you don't want to go back…" she mumbled.
Inuyasha snapped his head into her direction, his fangs bared, a deep growl seething through and his flashing red eyes.
Kagome squeaked seeing him turn towards her like that. "Inu…Inuyasha?" she daringly spoke out, "C-calm down.."
Almost instantly, he stopped baring his fangs and growling. His eyes remained the pure golden colour and he blinked many times at her. His eyes widened seeing the fear in what use to be the warm hazel eyes. Did he do that? Did he scare her? His ears pinned flat against his head, he bounded out of the room as quickly as possible and hid in the furthest and darkest room in the house. The backroom closet, under a big pile of coats. How original, don't ya think?
After a few minutes of recollection, she ran after him in the direction he took off in. "Inuyasha!" She called out. "Inuyasha!"
.:.:.:. Cirque de freak .:.:.:.
Naraku hummed to himself, "A girl? He is staying with a girl?" He chuckled. Naraku gripped onto the jewel tightly, "Show me Inuyasha and the girl" He ordered. The jewel sent dark flashes of light before finally revealing Inuyasha hidden under the coats, whimpering. Unfortunately, Kagome's figure was clouded over. The jewel would only show him a clouded view of a girl opening a door..
"Why can't I see her! Show me her! Show me her now!" Naraku boomed though, the image stayed the same. Clouded over.
"Damn that wench! Something is interfering with the jewel! No matter, the girl seems to be frightened of Inuyasha.. Perhaps I can try to make her even more frightened by awakening his demonic self.. Then she will hand him over to me!" Naraku wrapped his hideous fingers around the jewel allowing his dark aura to turn it black.
.:.:.:. Kagome's shrine .:.:.:.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome mumbled, sliding the closet door open. "Please, don't hide.."
Inuyasha quivered under the coats making it terribly obvious where his hiding spot was.
Kagome sighed removing all the coats from Inuyasha's back, "Inuyasha, why are you hiding?" She asked gently. Once she reached the familiar red haorie of his, she patted his back affectionately. The girl crouched down beside the startled Inuyasha, giving him her finest smile. Inuyasha had not stopped quivering, even after receiving a light hug from Kagome. Though, he did raise his head to look into her eyes with his own blood red ones.
Kagome gasped, "Inuyasha…?"
He grinned at her revealing his long and pointy fangs. "Heh heh heh.."
With a loud gulp, Kagome crawled away from the closet. "Oh no… this does not look good.."
Out leaped a now full demon Inuyasha. He stood tall compared to Kagome's little form on the floor. Grinning like a mad man, he crouched down next to Kagome picking her up. He seemed to be able to walk perfectly now that he was full demon.
"Eek! Inu-Inuyasha! What are y-you doing!" Kagome gasped struggling to get out of his tight death grip.
Inuyasha frowned down at the girl in his arms. Why is she struggling? He rolled his eyes placing her down on her feet, but only for a minute since he quickly forced his fangs to a pressure point on Kagome's neck. Kagome stood as still as a tree while listening to Inuyasha's growls. Somehow, she could understand him. She knew that he didn't want her to struggle anymore and to stay calm.
As quickly as he had his fangs against her neck, was as quickly as he took them off. The youkai then picked Kagome up into his strong arms and carried her towards the door. Why is he doing this? To get some fresh air of course! It's sunny outside, and not a cloud in sight! Inuyasha carried her out into the light and leaped up onto the roof of the house. Once they were at the very top, he sat down and crossed his legs, placing Kagome on his lap.
Kagome smiled warmly, he wasn't that bad.. "This is a beautiful view!"
"Keh.." he replied nuzzling Kagome in the crook of her neck. Her scent just drove him wild! But not wild enough to transform. Oh well. It doesn't matter if he transforms or not. He doesn't plan on hurting Kagome, not after what she did for him. She saved him and is still taking care of him. He wouldn't harm a hair on her head. Maybe any other human that approach though..
"Inu-Inuyasha?"
He twitched his ears, listening to her squeaky voice. He nuzzled her neck even more breathing in her scent.
"When you get better, I mean your wounds and you learn how to talk… are you going to find a job? Do you have any family to go stay with?"
He growled deeply in her neck causing a certain girl's hair to stand on end. "Sesshoumaru.."
"…Sesshou—I know him! Well, I'm one of the few people who know about him.. I think he's the one with the big demon corporation.. Is he your brother?" she blinked up at him. His blue eyes were locked with Kagome's warm hazel eyes. That just told her everything. "I see, you two do look a bit alike.." She mumbled.
He pressured his fangs against her neck once again.
Kagome froze up like a Popsicle, "U-uh! I t-take it back! You two are completely different!"
He removed his fangs, licking the slowly bruising spot on her neck.
"H-hey, that tickles!" Kagome giggled.
Her giggles just encouraged him to lick her more
.:.:.:. Cirque de freak .:.:.:.
Naraku banged his fists against his desk angrily, "Damn that dog! Why isn't he attacking her! Each time he transforms, he looses his mind! Why doesn't he hurt her! That fucking dog! He WILL receive a beating once we get him back! Ookami will find you, Inuyasha." Naraku seethed.
The jewel continued to project the lovely scene between the cloudy form of Kagome and Inuyasha. Naraku's eyes flashed red at them. "I despise this wench.. She has taken MY main act away!"
"DAMN HER!"
.:.:.:. Kagome's shrine .:.:.:.
"A…A….ACHOU!" Kagome sniffled.
Inuyasha stopped licking her neck temporarily to check her temperature on her forehead. Nope, no fever.
"Hn? It's ok Inuyasha, I don't have fever.. Someone is just gossiping about me." She assured him.
He growled wrapping his arms around Kagome. Who would gossip about her? She was perfect! He rested his head on Kagome's shoulder, his red and blue eyes staring off in the horizon. He closed his eyes for only a moment, until a disgusting scent filled his nostrils. Inu gripped Kagome tighter, snapping open his eyes.
Kagome gasped, "Do…you feel that?"
"Ookami.." Inuyasha breathed.
"Who—"
She had barely anytime to speak since Inuyasha had taken her into his arms once again and leaped down on the ground. Inuyasha brought Kagome into the shrine, closing the door and barricading Kagome and himself into her room.
"Who's Ookami?" Kagome asked.
"Wolf."
"A wolf demon?" she walked over to her window to see. Outside, stood a mildly handsome boy with blue eyes, black hair tide in a pony tail and he wore fur and armor like a soldier from the feudal era would.
Inuyasha yanked Kagome away form the window before the wolf could catch their scent.
"Is he bad? Does he belong to that circus too?" Kagome whispered.
-Growls-
That was her answer. Great, just great, a guy from the circus has come to take Inuyasha away! No! Kagome is not going to let him! She likes having Inuyasha around and he clearly doesn't want to go back! So, she'll have to tell him to leave! This is her shrine!
"Inuyasha, you stay here, I'll go take care of him. If he asks about you, I'll tell him that I don't know what he's talking about. Ok?"
-Growls-
"I'll be ok.. You just stay." And she was off.
Inuyasha didn't like this one bit. If Ookami laid one finger on Kagome, he would personally tear each finger off his hands, one by one! That traitorous wolf! He was Inuyasha's best friend! That is, until he got turned into a damn dog. Then he was used for the main act. A dog then turned into a full demon then hanyou. He scared everyone in the audience with each transformation. Heck, the audience loved it. That's how he came to be the main act. People like to get scared…
He peeked over the windowsill to check out what was going on. He had finally spotted Kagome approaching Ookami with a very fake smile. He twitched his ears, listening to the conversation.
"Hello there." Kagome greeted, "Can I help you sir?"
"Why, hello yourself. You are very beautiful.." He smiled, "My name is Ookami Kouga. And yours?"
"Oh, I'm flattered, I'm Higurashi Kagome. I own this shrine. Well, actually my Grandpa does, but he is not here at the moment so I'm taking care of it."
"I see.. Are you here by yourself?"
"Hm? Sadly, yes. Well actually, I do have a pet cat called Buyo. He is so adorable. So I'm not quite that lonely." She smiled.
"So that means you haven't seen a dog anywhere?"
"A dog?"
"Yes, a white Samoieda." Kouga added.
"Hmmm, nope not around here. Not unless those dogs like to pray much.." Kagome giggled.
"Ahh, no.. I suppose not." Kouga chuckled himself. "Well I guess I'll look elsewhere then. But if you do see him, call this number, ok?" he pulled out a little card that said his name and phone number.
"Ok! Oh, nice choice for an outfit." Kagome giggled.
"Huh?" He stared down at his fur and armor, "Yeah well.. Where I work, I require such things.." he rubbed the back of his sweaty neck. "I'll catch ya later Kagome!"
"Uh huh! Goodbye Kouga!" Kagome waved watching him speed off down her shrine stairs.
Inuyasha snorted, that bastard. He was being a little too friendly with Kagome.. It was so obvious! How could she even stand being so close to him? That wolf is disgusting! Kagome's got some major explaining to do once she comes back in! His ears twitched back hearing the door downstairs close. Here was his chance.
