"What the hell?!?" Inu Yasha growled at the poor imitation of dog barking.

"Maybe THIS will get you off your doggie butt and loosen up with the rest of us!" Kagome smirked.

"It definitely suits you, Inu Yasha!" Shippo laughed.

Inu Yasha growled louder and pounded the fox boy hard on the head.

"It suits you too, brat, so I wouldn't be talking if I were you!" the hanyou snorted.

"KAGOME!!!" Shippo wailed. "Inu Yasha hit me again!"

"Osuwari!"

*CRASH!*

"Ow! What'd you do that for?!"

"That's for hitting Shippo!"

"Feh!"

The party was nice the party was pumping

Ah Yepee Ah Yo

And everybody having a ball

Yepee Ah Yo

Till them fellas start they name calling

Yepee Ah Yo

Then them girls respond to the call

I hear a woman shout out…

"Those are obviously humans impersonating dogs barking, right?" Sango asked as she reared back and slapped Miroku for touching her again.

"Oh of course!" Kagome laughed, pulling Shippo onto her lap and rubbing his injury better. "It just sounds better that way for this song."

"They certainly tried to sound realistic." the taijiya remarked.

"All part of the fun!" Kagome shrugged with a smile.

Shippo quickly snapped out of his pouty mood and tried imitating the barking in the song. Inu Yasha peeled himself off the ground, eyeing the fox disgustedly before sharply facing the other direction. Moments later, the kit's weight was felt on his shoulder.

"Come on, Inu Yasha, you can bark too, can't you?" the little boy tugged gently on the hanyou's silvery mane.

"Of course I can!" Inu Yasha snarled. "But I'm not gonna waste my time imitating some jackass's piss-poor attempt when I can do better because I AM a dog demon."

"HALF dog demon…" Shippo corrected teasingly.

"Shaddap!"

"I bet your bark's a lot worse than your bite!" Miroku snickered.

"Care to test that theory, houshi?" Inu Yasha glared at the monk over his shoulder, his lips curled back in a threatening snarl to show his fangs.

"As a matter of fact," the priest cleared his throat politely. "if you can bark, Inu Yasha, why not let us hear it?"

"'CAUSE IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!" he roared.

Last year in the dance you had a ball

You call me millibug and skettell

Get back gruffy, mash scruffy

Get back you flea infested mongrel

"Oh thanks a lot…" Inu Yasha grumbled. "As if I don't hear enough insults from the monsters we have to deal with!"

"I don't know about the flea part," Sango grinned. "But the other stuff certainly suits Inu Yasha!"

"SHADDAP!" the hanyou snarled.

"Actually," Miroku chipped in. "If you count all the times he's been bitten by Myouga, he really IS flea infested!"

"ONE FLEA DEMON DOES NOT MAKE AN INFESTATION!"

"Myouga certainly bites you enough for an infesta-thingy!" Shippo teased.

*BONK!*

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA! KAGOME! HE HIT ME AGAIN!"

"Inu Yasha! If you hit Shippo one more time, I'll flatten you!"

"Keh! You're just gonna do it anyway, SO GO AHEAD AND DO IT ANYWAY!"

"FINE!! OSUWARI!!!"

*CRASH!*

"OSUWARI!"

*CRASH!*

"BITCH!!"

"THERE! YA HAPPY NOW??"

"NO!"

Now I tell myself dem man no get angry

Ah Yepee Ah Yo

To hear dem girls calling them canine

Yepee Ah Yo

But they say hey man dat is part of the party

Ah Yepee Ah Yo

Ya put da woman in front and the man behind

I hear the woman shout out…

The laughter and cursing suddenly came to a complete stop, with everyone sweatdropping and blushing. Inu Yasha was regretting having called Kagome a bitch, as in his mind the word held two very different things; on one hand, it was an insult he used to vent his fury, but on the other hand, it was a personal reminder of his feelings toward the future girl and how, if he ever got the balls to admit it to himself, she was a potential mate.

His stomach lurched uneasily, the same way it had done just before had fallen out of the tree earlier. Being subdued had not helped his situation any, and he struggled against the spell so that he could just rush back up to his tree. Inu Yasha hated that damned boombox-thingy; it seemed to carelessly spout out some of the very things he did not like to think or be reminded about in front of the others. Still under the rosary's spell, Inu Yasha simply resigned himself to growling miserably.

The others did not take the lyrics too lightly themselves. Little Shippo didn't fully understand what had been so unnerving about the words, but he knew it had to have been something extremely lewd for the others to cringe the way they did. Sango took a wide step back from Miroku, but even the lecherous priest found himself too shocked to make a remark of his own.

"Oh… hehe…" Kagome laughed nervously. "I, uh… forgot about that line…sorry!"

Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof

Who let the dogs out

Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof

Who let the dogs out

Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof

Who let the dogs out

Ah doggie is nothing if he don't have a bone

All doggie hold your bone, All doggie hold it

Ah doggie is nothing if he don't have a bone

All doggie hold your bone, All doggie hold it

The rosary finally released its hold on Inu Yasha, and no sooner had it done so than the hanyou was right back up in his tree, scowling quietly. If he ever got a hold of that damned thing, he was going to smash it to pieces! He knew he'd probably get subdued a hundred times or more for it, but to shut that stupid thing up would be worth the aches and pains he'd feel later.

As usual, Shippo was the one to break the tension caused by an awkward moment. The little boy plopped himself on the porch, his furry little feet and tail twitching to the beat. Kagome dug into her bag and pulled out a lollypop and handed it to him with a smile. That's when she noticed something else she had brought with her and turned to Inu Yasha with a sly smirk.

"Oh, Inu Yasha!" she called, holding onto the object, yet keeping it hidden inside of her bag.

"What?" he muttered boredly.

"I've got a funny surprise for you!"

"Oh yeah? Well, I usually don't like your surprises unless it's ramen or Shikon shards!"

"Oh, I think you'll find this one good!" Kagome snickered and tossed the object up to Inu Yasha, knowing he'd catch it easily. He did, and when he got a close look at it, he was furious.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU GIVE ME THIS FOR???" Inu Yasha bellowed, holding up a bone-shaped dog toy. "What do think I am, your pet??"

Sango and Miroku couldn't contain their laughter. Shippo nearly dropped his lollypop on the account that he was cracking up. Even Kaede could be heard chuckling indoors.

"What's the matter?" Kagome grinned. "You don't like it?"

"DON'T LIKE IT!!?? How dare you insult me that way!!"

"Well, it was either that or there won't be much of a handle left on Tetsusaiga for much longer."

"Huh?"

"You always wonder why the handle's so frayed sometimes. It's because you've been chewing on it in your sleep."

"I HAVE NOT!"

"You have so! I've woken up in the middle of the night and seen you 'sharpening your fangs' on it!"

"I was fixing it!"

"Sure you were!" Shippo sassed.

"Shut up, brat!"

"I figured that instead of you chewing on Tetsusaiga, you'd have that instead." Kagome explained. "I thought you might even like it considering that you ARE a dog demon…"

"HALF- dog demon." Inu Yasha muttered the correction.

"Oh NOW he stresses the human part…" Shippo snickered.

"THAT DOES IT!" Inu Yasha hollered, jumping out of the tree and heading for the fox.

"YIPE!" Shippo nearly choked on his lollypop as he scrambled to escape Inu Yasha's grasping claws. The hanyou was hot on his tail, trying to grab and yank it with every swipe. Only a few sharp turns had allowed the pup to evade the hanyou's wrath at the speeds they were running at.

Inu Yasha finally managed to snag the kid by the tail, earning a yelp from the hapless little boy. The hanyou's snarling and growling suddenly increased in volume as he proceeded to strangle Shippo. That's when the little boy's sensitive ears heard it.

"Hey! You actually barked! AHHH----!!"

"SHADDAP, YOU LOUSY, LITTLE, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING PAIN IN THE ASS!" Inu Yasha bared his fangs as his hands took hold of the boy's throat. He would've succeeded in killing the pest if Kagome hadn't chosen that moment to subdue him promptly. Shippo clambered out of what would have been death's grasp and cowered behind Kagome.

Last year in the dance you had a ball

You call me millibug and skettell

Get back gruffy, mash scruffy

Get back you flea infested mongrel

If I was a dog

The party is on

I got to get my groove on

'Cause my mind done gone

Can't you see the rays coming from my eyes

Walking through the place like Digi-man

Breaking it down

Me and my white tail

Short coat

Can't see color

Any color will do

I'll stick on you

That's why they call me pit bull

'Cause I'm the man of the land when they see me

They say oooooh

"Inu Yasha, you REALLY need to learn how to control your temper!" Kagome shook her head.

"Feh!" the hanyou spat.

"And as for you, Shippo." Kagome glared down at the pup clinging to her. "You need to stop teasing Inu Yasha too!"

The fox squeaked in surprise, but backed away respectively. He didn't get scolded too often, but when he did, he took it very seriously, especially if it was Kagome doing it. The only person he never took sincerely was Inu Yasha.

"Sounds like this one's all done, Kagome-sama." Miroku remarked as the music began to fade.

Kagome returned to the boombox and slumped down beside it. It was starting to get a little late out now, and as if to confirm it, Shippo yawned before crunching the last of his candy.

"I guess I'll pop in something a little softer now." Kagome said, popping the CD out of the player and replacing it in the case. "We can listen to it while getting ready for bed."

"Damnit,… another day of shard searching wasted!" Inu Yasha grumbled as he got up, brushed himself off for the umpteenth time that day, and retreated into the house.

"Oh, come on, Inu Yasha." said Sango calmly. "In all honesty, we really couldn't have gotten THAT much shard hunting done today anyway. Admit it, at least you didn't have to do any fighting today."

Inu Yasha simply tossed a 'feh!' over his shoulder to the taijiya and curled up in the corner of the house with Tetsusaiga to sleep.

Kagome dug carefully through her CD bag for the disc she had been searching for. She simply popped it in with a smile and hit the play button.
