Chapter 2: Get Going
Inuyasha woke up in the morning but, after not feeling his mistress next to him he stood up and searched the entire house for her. The howled in the living room; sad without his caretaker.
"When are you going to shut up puppy?" asked the fat cat who was on the couch covering his ears with his paws.
"Who are you calling a puppy?" Inuyasha growled at the cat, glaring at it.
"You stupid and if your looking for Kagome she went to school don't worry she'll be back" the cat said jumping off the couch waving its tail in Inuyasha's face "You're a hanyo aren't you".
Inuyasha snorted at the stupid cat, who was he to know about his life. Inuyasha went to the couch and took the TV remote into his mouth. He set it down and tried to press the on button with his nose. The TV turned on, "yes" he said, now all he had to do was learn how to change the channel.
He used his claw to change the channel up and down. The cat sat on top of the couch watching the Television with him. Inuyasha stopped it on the news channel, after all if you've been stuck in a house for fifty years the best way for you to learn about now is the news.
"Change it to MTV this is boring, it just says about wars and people dieing" the cat said swiping the remote.
"Whatever as long as it has nothing to do with some firkin lame cartoon I'm good with it" Inuyasha said to the cat
"By the way I'm Buyo"
"Inuyasha"
"We'll I guess not all mutts are that bad" Buyo said happily changing the channel with his claw.
//With Kagome//
Kagome was not as happy as her dog and cat, she was learning about fractions and junk. She wrote the notes and waited for the clock to strike 12 for lunch. Finally the bell rung and she nearly jumped out of her seat.
She grabbed her lunch and walked out to the roof. Sango and Miroku were there sitting down on the blanket Sango always brought. Sango was one grade above Kagome and Miroku was two grades above Kagome.
But, they had been friends since they were kids. Sango was rough and tough but, she had her soft side too. Miroku sadly was a pervert, in his thoughts, in his spirit, and to others. Often reaching for Sango's backside didn't exactly help his head condition, but it kept Sango safe from him. He had already been almost killed by them both when he had reached for Kagome's butt.
"Hey Kags" Sango said looking up from her lunch, "Hi Kagome" Miroku said after.
"Hi guys" Kagome sat down sighing, "so you really can't wait till winter vacation hu?" Miroku said as she sighed.
"Naw, it's just that I don't have a clue what my dog is doing while I'm at school" Kagome answered opening her lunch box.
"Well if he's like your cat he's most likely sleeping" Miroku said jokingly.
//Inuyasha//
Inuyasha had sneezed at that moment, "Bless you" Buyo said looking quickly at the dog then back at the TV.
//Back with Kagome//
"Nop, he's defiantly not the type to fall asleep" Kagome said defending her dog.
"But, anyway are you going to do your project with Koga, you know the teacher only puts you with him because he knows that he likes you right?" Sango said putting a moderately well cooked egg in her mouth.
"Ya, but I don't mind at least Koga does his work… unlike some people I know" Kagome answered giving a glare to Miroku, "Awww, will you two give me a break; it was one mistake one mistake god damn it!!"
"I never said it was you" Kagome said grinning evilly.
The bell to warn students that lunch was about to end rung, "well catch you guys later" Sango said standing up and leaving first.
"I'll call you, and see if we can hang out later kay?" Kagome said putting the remains of her sandwich into the garbage.
"Ya that would be cool" Miroku said walking off with Sango.
Kagome sighed and walked over to her locker. Once again there were about fifteen flowers with notes on them, saying things like 'wanna go out some time?' or 'meet me after school'.
Kagome wasn't a slut or a whore, which was Kenkiyo's job; she was just popular with the opposite sex. She took her science book and on her way to class dunked all the notes, keeping the flowers to give to someone later on 'maybe today I'll give them to the hospital it's just in front of the park why not, it would be a waist to throw them out' she thought as she enter class.
She sat in the window corner of the class, as usual. Koga sat next to her, she shivered; Kagome always seemed to be able to sense a demon that was near. "Hey Kagome" Koga said waving even though he was just next to her.
"Hey Koga, so when are we going to get started on the project?"
"Maybe next Wednesday, I'm free that day; so should I come to your house or you can come to mine?"
Kagome knew that Koga lived alone in a small apartment, where the only place to sit was on his bed and on the one chair for the computer. Not only that but Koga had a huge crush on her. "No you can come over to mine" Kagome answered; thinking reasonably for once (which we might never see again).
//After school (Its vacation! Why learn!!!)//
Kagome walked home, the roses were in her backpack which she carried slung over her shoulders. She took a slow walk to her house alone, even though Hojo had offered to walk her home she had said no. She started to climb the steps to her house.
Inuyasha heard her and turned the TV off, "Bitch!" he said running to the door, ready to trample her when she got in.
Kagome opened the door saying "Inuyasha Buyo I'm hoooome!" Inuyasha jumped her and pushed her to the ground.
"Where the hell did you go!?" he said to her, not that she could understand at all.
"Sorry, Inuyasha you must have not had a clue where I was" she said nose to nose with her dog.
"You better be sorry" he barked before she gave him a kiss on the wet nose. "Can you fetch your leash please Inuyasha, I'm sorry too" she said as he got off her and ran to get his leash.
He was glad that he had fur because at the moment he would have been blushing seven shades of red. He bit the leash and pulled it off the door knob. He walked to Kagome's room where she was changing her clothes. Once again he did a doggy blush, the leash fell out of his mouth and he walked over to a corner where he couldn't see her.
"Man you're almost like a human Inuyasha, I sometimes wonder if your some type of dog demon" Kagome said putting on a light blue tank-top.
"Well your close" he barked.
Inuyasha turned around when she was finished "Ok, ready to take a walk to the hospital Inu-boy, just don't bite any of the poor kids their sick".
"Whatever as long as none of them stupid males touch you" he snorted and she put the leash on his bright red collar, which now had a tag that said Inuyasha on it.
He and Kagome walked out to the door and down the stairs. Inuyasha trotted by her side merrily allowing his tongue to loll out. They walked to the park to let Inuyasha whiz on a tree. Then they walked to the hospital.
"Oh, good afternoon miss Kagome" said the upfront boy.
"Good afternoon to you too Takashi" Kagome said, "Can I go to the children's play room?"
"Yes there are about fourteen of them there" he answered, "but, we admitted a poor little demon fox boy with cancer just a few days ago. It would be nice if you could give him something, or even just make him laugh a little. The poor boy thinks he's going to die".
'Wow poor kid' Inuyasha though meaning it completely.
"Ok can you write down his room number please" Kagome said passing him a pen and small sheet of paper. He wrote down the room number 2-5.
She and Inuyasha first went to the play room. All the children gave Kagome a hug and thanked her for the rose, even though they wouldn't last long. Before she left she said "Every pedal that falls off by its self, means you're getting better. So put it in a cool glass of water and take care of it, when it starts to die, you'll be getting better". All the children had a large glimpse of hope in their eyes.
Then they walked down the hall and knocked on the door to where a little pale and skinny boy lay. All over he had tubes and shots in him. His eyes looked out the window and his head had very short orange-brown hair, and just at the end of his head he had a tinny strip of hair. Inuyasha heard the beeping of his heart and tucked his ears on his head.
"Shippo, hello my name is Kagome"
"Hi miss Kagome, why are you here?" he sat up a little and his green eyes became large as he saw a dog "Is that a dog!" he said smiling.
"Yes, his name is Inuyasha; would you like to pet him?" Kagome asked him.
"I'd love to, when I was five my puppy died and I loved him so much!" he said jumping up and down like as if nothing was wrong with him.
Kagome crouched down next to Inuyasha removing the leash "Let him pet you please Inuyasha, he's just a poor boy; and I'll give you a treat when we get home".
Inuyasha trotted over to the boy and gave him a lick on the face; he laughed and petted the dog careful with his tubes and shots. "Kid you better get better Kagome loves kids as you can see, she's going to tell you a little story and we're going to hold you up to it" Inuyasha snorted and barked softly at the boy as he pet him.
Shippo understood the dog's every word and nodded, he could also tell that he was a hanyo; after all, he was a demon himself.
"Shippo listen we have to go, but we'll visit you soon kay?" she said smiling as she took out the last rose for the child.
"Ok come back soon" Shippo said still smiling as Inuyasha walked to Kagome.
"But, before I leave" she walked over to Shippo "You see this rose?"
"Yes, what about it?" he said taking the rose from her hand.
"If you take good care of it, every pedal that falls off by its self means your getting better. And when they all fall you'll be so healthy you'll be able to do whatever you want" she said.
"Can I visit you and Inuyasha when I get better?" he asked tilting his head.
"Of course I'll see to it my self in fact you can stay over night" Kagome said smiling that he thought he would live even through this and more.
"Good bye Shippo" Kagome said, "Bye Kagome Bye Inuyasha" he said waving as they left.
//When they got home//
It was late but, thank god it was Saturday tomorrow. Kagome changed into her pajama and hopped into her fluffy bed. Inuyasha chewed on his large bone on his makeshift bed. He licked it and chewed it, thankful that Kagome had given him this wonderful large treat.
She turned off the little lamp by her bed. "Night boy" she said cuddling into her pillow and sheets, "Night to you too wench" he barked softly pushing his bone away and shifting so that the blankets went just on top of him.
//In the Morning a week later (it's a Saturday)//
Both Inuyasha and Kagome had been awoken by the ringing of the telephone, she looked at her clock "Who the Hell Call's At Seven on A Saturday!!!!!" she yelled annoyed.
She stomped to the phone and when she picked it up it was Hojo (or as I like to call him Hobo!). First thing he said was "Higarashi, I hope I didn't wake you".
"No you didn't Hojo" she said, thinking of adding the word 'NOT' but that would be rude now wouldn't it.
"Are you free today?" he asked her.
"After I take my dog out in afternoon, yea"
"I was wondering if you w-would g-go out with m-me?"
"I guess, where to?"
"How about the movie theater"
"Ok"
"I'll pick you up around six, kay?"
"Yep that sound's cool Bye"
He said good bye and they both hung up the phone. Kagome in particular wasn't interested too much in Hojo they were child hood friends, and she planed to wait for some one special. But at seven in the morning on a Saturday you really don't exactly think straight.
Inuyasha went down to eat from his food bowl, he really didn't know why they called it dog food might as well call it dog crap! Cause' that's what it taste like. Thankfully Kagome always gave him something in there that made it bearable.
"Great now I'm going on a date with Hojo, on a thirty degree night. I hate my cruddy luck" Kagome said looking at the weather.
Inuyasha nearly choked on his food "Date! Oh no you don't Kagome, your staying at home! And you're defiantly not going on a date with Hobo!" Inuyasha had met Hobo once and that was enough to tell him that he was a scrawny loser!
"I know your mad boy but, still he's nice remember. Even if he is weak"
"Exactly!" Inuyasha barked, "don't worry tonight's the moonless night no one goes too crazy". Inuyasha shut his trap for the whole afternoon how could he forget that he turns human tonight!
