-LAST TIME ONE My New Dog?-

The girl slowly looked up to see a young man, perhaps about her age, maybe a year older, with long white-silver hair. And their atop his head were two pointed white ears that twitched now and then. He had golden eyes that looked piercingly at her.

"Do I have to spell it out for you, Kagome?"

-

My New Dog?

CH.2

Good Bye Normality

-

Kagome sighed as she worked in the kitchen that Monday, making a very large breakfast. The weekend had been full of so many unexpected surprises, most of which Kagome did not enjoy. How had she even gotten into this mess again?

-Earlier that weekend(A.K.A. Where we left off)-

Not soon after his question did Kagome realize something else. He wasn't wearing any clothes. The girl squealed as she grew a bright red. Suddenly, without any warning, the
young man ran to her, embracing her warmly.

He held her tightly, "You have absolutely no idea, how long that I've wanted to do this," he whispered.

Kagome's shade of crimson grew darker and darker by the minute. Who was this boy? Why was he hugging her? And most of all… Where were his clothes?

Kagome struggled free. "Who the heck are you? What do you want from me?"

The girl tried to only look him dead in the eye, hoping that that would only be what she saw.

"Don't you recognize me, Kagome?" He asked, sounding hurt.

"And that's another thing," the girl pointed out, "how do you know my name? And Inuyasha's?"

"That is my name, stupid. After all, you are the one who named me." His ears twitched again.

Kagome could feel her left eye twitch. "Y-you're- I-Inuya-… sha?"

Kagome looked at him frantically… Who was this nut-case?

And you want to know what happened next to our heroine?

She fainted…

"-ey! Hey! Wake up!"

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She looked around, the girl was in her bedroom right now, laying on her pink bed. The girl rubbed her head, what had happened?

"Are you okay, Kagome?"

Oh… That's right.

The girl whipped around to see the young man sitting at the feet of her bed. "You okay?"

"Who are you?"

He sighed, "Didn't you figure that out already?" The man turned to look at her, his eyes were warm, yet still sharp, "It's me Kagome- It's me, Inuyasha."

Kagome scowled at the tea pot. Trying her best to put everything together. Her dog goes missing, and not too long after that, a young man that looks like Inuyasha claims that he is… well… Inuyasha?

Wait! Kagome shook her head, he didn't really look like Inuyasha did he? The girl peeked out of the kitchen to see him sitting on the ground with his knees up in the air and his hands on the ground, looking much like a dog. He was now wearing some if her late father's clothes. They were a bit too big on his muscular body, looking baggy on him. He wore a baggy pair of jeans and a baggy, grey sweatshirt.

Now, Kagome had to be certain, was this really her best friend. Okay, let's see… White hair=white fur… Golden eyes=golden eyes… Cute ears=cute ears… He had claws and fangs, as well. Maybe this really was Inuyasha…

Kagome hit her head. No, way! This couldn't possibly be him! She was losing it, that just had to be the explanation.

Kagome set the, now prepared, tea and plate of cookies on a tray, bringing out to the dining room. She sat down, looking at the young man, who, simply, in return, looked back up at her.

"You can sit at the table, you know," Kagome said, coolly as she placed the tea in front of his seat.

"Really?" He asked, standing up, "I can? Just like you?"

"Well, of course you can," Kagome stated simply as she took a sip of her tea, "you're not an animal."

He smirked, "You're right I'm not… Well, at least, not anymore."

Kagome quickly swallowed her tea, before she could spew it out. Who did he really think he was? Kagome took a deep breath, she just needed to wait for her family to get back, and then they could settle things out.

"Kagome," she heard the young man say.

She looked up at him.

"Do you really not believe me?"

Kagome looked away, "I'm sorry, but it's just not possible for a dog to become a human being."

"But… That's just the thing, I'm not a human being… Never was. Never was a dog, either."

Kagome set her tea cup down, figuring that it'd be best if she just left it there instead of having to accidently spit out her drink. Kagome finally spoke up, "I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I will believe you."

His eyes lit up, "Really?"

She looked back at him, "But only if you have proof."

"Aren't I proof enough?!" He snapped.

She shook her head.

"Then what about my ears? You have to believe me!"

"They could be fake," Kagome said simply.

He glared at her, angrily, of course. He was quiet for the longest time…

Then he finally spoke up, "Kagome, when you were seven years old and when it was Christmas you wanted to go out and play in the snow. You had gotten lost in a terrible snow storm. We had no idea where to go, then you looked at me and asked me for help. I used my nose and led us both back to the house."

Kagome marveled at him. How could he know such a story? It was so long ago.

The young man continued with no intention of stopping any time soon, "When you were just turning eleven you were walking home one day. Some of the boys had been picking on
you and one day they followed you home. They were going to take your stuff, but I came just in time to scare them away. Don't you remember that?"

Kagome was silent as she stared at the tea cup.

"Or… maybe…" He thought for a moment. What would be something that only he and she would know. "Remember when you were thirteen. You had been locked in your room, crying all day because your father had just passed away? Remember that? Who was with you the entire time? I was, the entire time, not leaving your sight for a moment. And… In return, you not leaving mine. Do you know how hard that was? To see you like that? I wished so hard that I could just scoop you up into my arms and whisper in your ear that everything would be all right."

He now stopped. He looked down at his hands, but soon looked back up at her and said snappishly, "And if you still don't believe that I'm Inuyasha, then I just might have to begin to doubt that you are the same young woman that took care of me for all of these years." He stood up, not really sure where to go.

Kagome felt her left eyebrow tick, "All right fine! I-I believe you!"

Inuyasha turned around with hopeful eyes, "R-really?"

Kagome sighed through her nose, "Ye-"

"Thank you!" He yelled as he threw his arms around her.

"But we can't tell anyone," Kagome said, pushing him off of her.

"Fine, by me," he smiled, but soon lost his grin, "Wait- why?"

"Because, if we were to tell anyone that you were really my dog, they'd think that I was crazy and take me away from here." The girl thought about it for a moment, "I'm too young to go to a loony-bin!" The girl cried.

"Which means-?"

Kagome turned to him, "Which means that you have to hide in my room until I come up with a better plan. And that also means that you have to be extremely quiet when I go to school."

Inuyasha smirked, "So, I get to stay in your room?"

"Kagome! We're home!" The two froze at the sound of Kagome's mother's voice.

"Go to my room and lock the door," Kagome whispered.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes," Kagome hissed at him. "Go. Now."

"Y-yes, ma'am," he was quick to say and Kagome could soon hear the door to her room shut closed.

Kagome quickly got some tissues and took some pepper, throwing it in the air, making her sneeze. Good, now it probably looked like she had been crying, exactly what she wanted.

"Oh, Kagome," said Mama, sadly, "I'm so sorry."

Kagome began to cry her best as she was embraced by her mother. Good bye her normal life and hello difficulties.

-(Back to the present)

Kagome sighed yet again as she walked through the empty house, carrying a tray with two bowls filled with ramen. Grandpa had a doctor's appointment which explained where Mama was and of course the old man. And Souta had school.

Kagome asked if she could stay home to "mourn" over her loss. Mama understood.

"Inuyasha," said Kagome as she stood at the door. "Can you let me in?"

There was silence.

"Inuyasha?!" The girl asked louder. "Inuyasha, open the door!" She yelled, doubting that he hadn't heard her.

With a huff, Kagome set the tray down and reached for the door herself.

Just then she heard a rather loud "WOOF!"

Kagome quickly opened the door and saw sitting there was the dog, that happily wagged his tail, Inuyasha.

To Be Continued!
