Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

Morning came around, luckily it was a Friday. Kagome yawned from exhaustion. She turned to her side to see two fluffly white ears twitching. Heehee, so cute. Wait what? Twitchy fluffy ears? Her eyes lowered up until she came around a pair of golden orbs looking into her ocean blue ones.
"Wench wake up it's almost 7:30 and class starts in an hour," she heard Inuyasha say.
Kagome groaned, she was definitely not a morning person. Who in the world would be happy to wake up so early at that time. She should send a demand to her school saying that students should go in at later times, but she fought the thought of it back, it was stupid demand anyway. She idly sat up and stretched. After that she rolled off her bed and headed straight for the bathroom. Before closing the door shut, she poked her head out.
"Keep your ghostly transparent butt out there," she said to him.
"Keh, like I would like to go in there. I'd rather die," he said to her adding a 'keh' at the end when she closed the door.
"News flash ghost boy. You are already dead," Kagome's voice rang from the bathroom.
Inuyasha's lips curled up into a smile, even when I'm dead, why do I feel like...he shook his head at the thought, doesn't matter.
While Kagome got ready for school, Inuyasha decided to check out around the house. The only place he's gone was to the living room and Kagome's room.
"Mom!" a shout was heard.
His ears flattened down to his skull, damn, the kid is screaming as if the world was ending.
"Souta stop screaming in the morning!" Kagome shouted as she was pulling her hair back all dressed and ready for school down the stairs.
"Damn it wench! Can you and the kid stop your screaming. My ears are going to freakin' bleed from all your racket!" Inuyasha shouted at her. Putting his hands on his head and shaking it with frustration. They were going to be the death of him, that was if he was brought back to life.
"Well excuse me!" Kagome retorted as she made tight fists with her hand and stomped out of the house.
"Keh, stupid girl," he muttered,"She-"
"Ugh, I forgot my lunch and I didn't even get to eat breakfast!" Kagome bellowed as she slammed the door back open, said goodbye to her mother who was in the kitchen cleaning the dishes. Her brother was stuffing his face with cereal as he smiled at his sister. Thanking the kami that he didn't go to school so early in the morning.
Souta laughed playfully as he was watching his sister shoot him a look and biting into the apple she took from the counter.
She ran back outside with Inuyasha tagging along with her.
"And you are coming with me because...?" she inquired.
"I don't want some old guy breathing down my neck. Watching a stupid fat cat trying to claw at everything in it's path. A little kid who is screaming bloody murder as if he was running from a pack of gorillas...Does that answer your question?" he said looking at her.
Kagome grinned at him.
"I'll take that as a yes then,"Inuyasha said.
The two walked towards the school. Technically, Kagome was doing all the walking and Inuyasha was just gliding idly in the air.
Kagome and Inuyasha reached the front of the school. "KAGOME!" they heard.
Inuyasha groaned and clasped his hands protectively over his sensitive ears. "Damn it! They are even worse than you and your brother combined! Shi-" he cursed out as Kagome let a few giggles pass her lips watching her friends make her way towards her.
There seemed to be four heads. "I swear if they bring Houjo to ask me out again, they are going to face my wrath," she said.
Inuyasha smirked,"Oh no, we got a badass over here," he sarcastically said.
"Kagome, this is the new girl. Don't be shy," Ayumi said they reached her. A girl with brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, she had brown eyes as well. "Hi I'm Sango," the girl said. Kagome smiled at the girl, she somehow knew that they were going to be really good friends. "Hi Sango I'm-"
"Kagome, I know," the girl, Sango said to her as she leaned towards her. "They told me. Are they your friends?" Kagome nodded.
"They sure talk a lot," Sango said. Yup, they were going to be really good friends,"I know. At least someone agrees with me," Kagome told her. Sango smiled at her. "Oh look Kagome, Hojo-kun is coming this way," Yuka said to her.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, these freakin' birds were never going to get it through their stupid thick heads, Kagome didn't even like the guy. "Why don't you tell them you don't like him," he said to Kagome.
She shrugged, unnoticed by the other four girls. Then she got an idea,"Hey, I'll talk to Houjo later. I'm going to show Sango around before class starts."
Yuka, Eri and Ayumi's faces were crestfallen. Who were they to control her love life, heck she didn't even have one. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha, when he looked at her, she felt as if she was dropped forty feet off the ground, then caught and placed safely on the ground. The girl, Sango followed Kagome as they left.
Kagome lead Sango around the track, pool, outdoor lunch area and her first class. Luckily for both girls, they had the same schedule.
"So you just moved here?" Kagome asked her. Sango nodded,"Yeah. I moved with my father and little brother. I just hate being the new girl in school. When I first asked those girls where to go they kept pointing in all kinds of directions. That's when they mentioned you and that you could help me." Kagome listened to her as she continued on about her life.
"Are they usually all well like, how to put it," Sango said thinking long and hard.
"Birds, robots, frantic girls who are involved with a certain friends love life," Kagome said.
"Keh, what love life. There's no love in your life, wench. If you did, life wouldn't have any love anymore," Inuyasha said to her.
"Shut up will you?!" she hissed at him completely forgetting that she had company.
My life has gone down hill. I'm talking to a ghost and she's probably thinking I'm crazy now. Might as well go into a mental institution as soon as possible.
Sango stared at Kagome as she jotted two things in her head. One, her new friend looked nice and was kind enough to help her. Two, she was talking to air. Sango understood what was going on.
"I think brown haired girl is wondering what the hell you are doing. You could tell her before she thinks you've gone nuts." Inuyasha informed Kagome.
"Sorry about that,"Kagome said as she looked at the ground. Sango smiled,"That's okay. Everyone has something. To tell you the truth, I come from a long line of demon slayers. In fact I do sense an aura of a demon near you. So I'm assuming it's a ghost of some youkai right?"
Woah, the girl caught on fast. Thank goodness, she would have someone to talk to about her situation, Kagome sighed in relief.
"Why is it that she has brains and you are the one who can't do anything right?" Inuyasha asked her. Okay, he officially broke her bubble.
Kagome knew that if she were going to shove him she would go right through him, strangely enough she didn't. At contact with her hand on his shoulder she pushed him over with that, Inuyasha fell. I could feel him as if he were alive, she thought to herself. He took the action with a startled look. Kagome smirked and mumbled the word, jerk.
His face was in the concrete, he so wanted to push her down, so that her face would be buried into the ground. "Are there any other things I wanna know about you?" he said from his place on the ground.
Sango just stood there watching her new friend talking to the ghost. She wondered what type it was, then again she remembered hearing about a half dog demon dying not to long ago. She snapped her fingers and reached for an ancient bracelet in which her father gave to her before they moved, it was one to communicate with the dead. Sango placed it around her wrist and waited until she heard the ghost's voice. It took her a few seconds to hear him, sadly she can not see him. I was in the mood to see a dead youkai, I've never seen one before.
Kagome tapped her chin,"Hmmm let me think about it for a second."
Minutes passed and Inuyasha was starting to become intolerant. "Damn it wench. What the hell have you been thing about for the past five minutes?!"
Kagome shushed him.
"Don't you-"
"Shh."
"Wench."
"Shhhh."
"Bitch," he growled at her.
"Ugh! I lost my train of thought because of you! My names Ka-Go-Me! Not wench nor girl and especially not the last one!" Kagome fumed,"Learn it, say it, use it! Ghost boy!"
"Wench don't call me ghost boy! I have a name!" He retorted as he took a step towards her.
"Then stop calling me wench and those other names!" Kagome shouted, also taking a step towards him.
"Uhhh guys?" Sango said as she heard the two argue.
"Like hell I will stop!" Inuyasha said, his ears were half way down to his head because of all the screaming.
"Oh you're so lucky that you are already dead!" Kagome told him.
"Guys..." Sango said once more.
"I'm stronger than you, you're just a human girl! I could snap your head in two if I wanted to," Inuyasha said to her.
"I'd like to see you try," Kagome scoffed.
Sango was having a headache listening to the two of them argue. "BE QUIET FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!" she screamed.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at the brunette, who was embarrassed. The two stopped their bickering and looked at how close they were since all the comebacks made them move closer to one another. They quickly jumped apart with their cheeks slightly pink from their argument and closeness. Luckily there were no students by the corner they were at.
"Good, now will you two stop your hollering. The whole block could come out and investigate because of it," Sango informed. She pointed a finger at Kagome,"You. Please learn the youkai's name." She then heard a laugh and knew where the ghost youkai was standing,"And you. Shut the hell up before I exterminate your ghostly ass and send you to hell." Kagome and Inuyasha remained quiet until Sango stopped talking.
"Now then. Where should we go next?" the demon slayer said to them cheerfully.
Oh this is freakin' great. Now I gotta deal with these two. Please someone kill me again! Inuyasha thought to himself as he followed the two girls who were in front of him. Wait a second! "Oi, brunette. How can you hear me and see me?" he said with his arms folded across his chest.
"I guess the dog demon finally realized it," Sango whispered.
"I could hear you," Inuyasha said to her.
Kagome rolled her eyes. Just let the girl explain it to you Inuyasha, she thought.
"I'm wearing a bracelet that my dad gave me. He told me that I can exterminate the dead youkai in the city which is pretty cool as long if they are the ones that cause trouble. As time goes on the longer I wear the bracelet around the ghost of a youkai, there would be a chance I could see it too," Sango explained.
"That's cool! If I were to put that thing on, would it reverse it for me?" Kagome said with a little hope in her voice.
Sango sweat dropped,"I don't think it works that way."
"Keh, you still have to deal with me...wench," Inuyasha smirked at Kagome knowing it will piss her off.
A vein in her head was going to pop if he continued with the whole 'wench' thing. Kagome inhaled and exhaled slowly trying to calm down and find peace and serenity.
"Like I was saying," Sango chimed in,"I could only hear you not see you for the time being. Did you understand?"
Inuyasha 'keh'd,"I'm not stupid."
Sango gave a loop sided smile,"I know. But you sure are cocky for a youkai ghost. What's your name anyways?"
"Why should I tell you?" Inuyasha said cocking a brow. Sango heard and nodded,"Yup, arrogant as well. And the answer would be, that I can exterminate you any time I want. So the best thing for you to do now is tell me your name."
"Inuyasha and that's all you're going to get from me," he answered with a growl.
Sango smiled and her eyes widened,"So you're th-"
"A dog demon, I know. I'm a half demon. It says it all in the name," Inuyasha told her as he walked over to Kagome's side.
"That wasn't what i was-" Kagome cut in as she looked at the time,"The bells about to ring so why don't we go inside." Sango nodded and the two girls left inside the building.
On cue the bell rang. " Holy mother of hell!" Inuyasha cursed out and the two girls looked at eachother and thought of one thing. Sensitive ears and the damn bell.
The two walked towards their next class and the teacher gave Sango a seat next to Kagome. While Kagome was focused on taking notes, Sango looked at Inuyasha.
He doesn't know, does he? she thought.
