InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Inu Yasha ❯ Chapter 1

"Inu Yasha!" Sango called. "Inu Yasha! Where are you?"

"INU YASHA!" Shippo cried out as well. It wasn't like the hanyou to go disappearing. "INU YASHA, YOU JERK! WHERE ARE YOU?"

"INU YASHA!" Kagome called. She crossed her arms in irritation. "Where is that good for nothing dog!"

"Any sign of him?" Sango asked as she and Kirara started to return to the campsite. She had been lucky enough to run into Kagome and Shippo. Kagome shock her head. "This isn't like him. Disappearing and not returning,"

"Where is Miroku?" Shippo asked as he noticed the monk's absents.

"Huh?" Kagome replied as she looked at the tiny fox youkai. "Oh! I think he went looking down the river,"

Inu Yasha had been sitting on the sandy shores of the riverbank. He had awoken at daybreak only to discover that something terrible had happened to him. He was now sitting looking at his reflection of a very younger self. Had it been something he had eaten? No, he had only eaten the food Kagome had given him, and this had never happed. He pulled up his now over sized fire rat jacket. He thought hard about the day before.

"Huh?! Hurry up!" Inu Yasha barked. He had stopped only to see the rest of the gang far behind him. Kagome had sat down on a rock and started to catch her breath. "Come on! We have to find the rest of the Shikon no Tama shatters!" He hopped over to them.

"I'm tired!" Shippo whined. He was lying on the ground. "I'm hungry!"

"My feet are killing me!" Kagome added, making Inu Yasha starred. They didn't seem to be attacking her. She had taken her shoes out and was now rubbing them. "Inu Yasha, let's call it a day,"

"Kirara is also tired out," Sango replied as she picked up her little demon/cat pet. The feline hung lifeless-like in her master's arms, too tire to move. "And I have to admit, that I'm also tired,"

"Let's set up camp here," Miruko suggested with a kind smile. "There's a river nearby and we won't have to go to far away to find fire wood,"

"But…" Inu Yasha protested, when Kagome stomped her foot down.

"Inu Yasha!" She growled. He coward before her, fearing her `sit'. Kagome could look pretty dangerous when she was tired. "We have been walking since two in the morning! Some off us need more then five seconds of rest! We are camping here and that's that!"

"Okay," He replied and slowly backed away. Miroku laughed silently inside. Half afraid and half annoyed, Inu Yasha sat down in a flower bed. He got up quickly as he heard angry buzzing. He turned to see a little fairy-like creature speed up towards him. "Huh?"

"Hey you jerk!" The creature squeaked as she slapped him over the nose. "What's the duel, sitting in my flowers like that? I spent ten years growing those and you kill more then half in TWO SECONDS!"

"Hey who are you calling a jerk!" He growled as he snatched his hand around the creature. Her wings buzzed even louder.

"You dog breath!" She replied as she bit him in the finger.

"Awe!" Inu Yasha yelped. He turned to grab a hold of her again, when she threw a rather large flower paddle sack into his face. It was about the size of the twenty-five cents rubber balls. It broke right on impact, leaving a golden dust could in front of his face. "What the…"

"That ought to teach you!" The fairy yelled and zoomed away.

Inu Yasha blinked. What was that dust anyway? He didn't get too much time to ponder about it when he heard his name being called. He figured it was a pup instinct to run over to the person calling his name, but he didn't want the gang to see him like this. He would be a living joke! Hearing the footsteps coming closer, Inu Yasha tried to jump into a tree, but do to his now short legs, he couldn't reach the branches and therefor hid behind a rock. He froze as he heard Miruko walking along the banks.

"Inu Yasha!" He called. "Inu Yasha! Come on, we are ready to leave now!"

"I'm not here!" Inu Yasha thought as he pressed himself against the rock. "This is just a bad dream from that soup Kagome gave me!"

"Inu Yasha!" Miroku called again. "Inu… what's this?"

Inu Yasha peeked over the side of the rock. His heart almost stopped when he realized that Miroku had stumbled onto the rest of his clothing and the Tetsusaiga. Everyone knew that Inu Yasha would never leave it behind. He watched Miroku's face fill with worry.

"Inu Yasha!" He called again. He turned his head and looked right at Inu Yasha's hiding spot. The Inu Yasha quickly pulled back behind it, knowing that it was too late. The monk had seen him. "Inu Yasha? Is that you?"

"Yeah!" He quickly replied. "Now go away!"

"You okay? You sound… different,"

"I'm fine!" Inu Yasha barked. "Now go a…"

"You really need to check your definition of fine," Miroku replied as he tapped his foot. He had sneak around the rock without Inu Yasha noticing and was now in front of him. "What happened to you?"

"If I knew," Inu Yasha growled as he sat down and pouted. "I wouldn't be like this, would I?"

Miroku kneeled down to study the pup even more. Then slowly started to laugh. It was really funny, Inu Yasha always acted like a four year old and now he had become one. The hanyou turned his head and started to growl. He didn't find this funny at all! When he learned that Miroku didn't see him as a threat, Inu Yasha's eyes started to water.

"This isn't funny!" He cried much to Miroku's surprise. A few tears made their way down his cheeks. Miroku stopped laughing. Inu Yasha looked pretty freaked out and frighten. "What am I gonna do?"

"There's only one thing to do," Miroku sighed as he knew Inu Yasha would never agree. He slowly started to wrap the red jacket around Inu Yasha's small body. The hanyou's ears flatten, waiting for the answer. "Go and ask Kagome and Kaede for help,"

"No way!" Inu Yasha growled as he started to struggle against Miroku, but learned that Miroku had wrapped him up tightly in his own jacket. "You can't do this to me! I'll get you for this!"

Then wail holding the struggling youngest under one arm, Miroku gathered the rest of Inu Yasha's things and headed back to the campsite. Boy was Kagome going to be surprised. Much to Miroku's joy, Inu Yasha stopped cursing at him and started growling, not wanting the girls to hear him. At the same moment, the girls and Shippo had returned to the campsite. They had all hoped that Inu Yasha would be waiting for them, but not was he just missing, but Miroku as well.

"Where is he?" Kagome wondered. "Please don't tell me we have to look for him too,"

"Hello ladies!" Miroku called. Kagome turned as let out a breath of relief.

"Hey Miroku!" Sango called as she started to pack up her things. "Did you find Inu Yasha?"

"Ah yes, well…" Miroku replied. He had Inu Yasha hidden behind his back. The pup growled angrily. If only his hands were free, then he would have pulled his jacket over his head and hid. Then again, if his hands were free he would beat up Miroku. "Something kind of, happened to him,"

Kagome froze. "What do you mean? He isn't hurt is he?"

"Nononononono! He's fine," Miroku smiled and then pulled out Inu Yasha. Everyone froze. The four-year-old Inu Yasha began to growl even louder then before. "He's nice and healthy for a four year old pup!"

"Oh my god!" Sango uttered as Shippo burst into laughter. "He's younger then Shippo is! (THUD) Huh? Oh My goodness! Kagome-chan!"

Kagome had pasted out from the shock. Miroku and Inu Yasha starred in surprise before the pup looked up and glared at him.

"This is your fault!"
