InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Puppy Love ❯ Falling Out ( Chapter 7 )

Disclaimer: You know what; I don't own a lot of things. Of course one of these things is Inuyasha. However, it will always be a dream of mine to actually own it.

A/N: I would like to thank all my reviewers for this story. I love reading them, they are really funny. I'm also glad you guys like the concept of Kagome also being a dog. I have read a lot of fanfics where Inuyasha was the dog and Kagome his owner. So, after reading a couple of them I decided instead of Kagome being the owner, I'd make her a dog as well. Oh, I would also like to point out that I made a few mistakes last chapter, like writing `her' instead of just leaving it as `he.' Also towards the end I wrote, "The demoness smiled as held out her arms, Rin with hesitation jumped into them." What I meant to say was that Rin jumped into her arms withOUT hesitation. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I will see to it that I proofread MUCH more carefully. Thanks!

Chapter 7- Falling Out

Inuyasha took a defensive stance in front of Sango, Miroku, Kohaku and Kagome. His pearly white, sharp teeth gleamed menacingly.

"Sesshoumaru, you bastard, what the hell are you doing here!?"

The man with the long silver hair lowered his amber eyes to the white dog baring his teeth. A small smile tugged at Sesshoumaru's lips, but he did not let anyone notice. He spoke again, his voice velvety smooth.

"I see your dog is very protective of you."

Sango pulled Inuyasha by his leash, "Silver, calm down. What is wrong with you?" she hissed. Her hazel eyes looked upon Sesshoumaru, "I'm truly sorry about this Mr. Taisho. I just got him from the pound today and I guess he's still not used to having an owner or being around strangers."

Sesshoumaru nodded, "I see. You can call me Sesshoumaru." Amber eyes clashed as Sesshoumaru's met Inuyasha's, "So, you finally found a home."

"Inuyasha, what's the matter? Why are you growling at this guy?" asked Kagome, concerned at Inuyasha behavior.

Sesshoumaru's eyes moved on the black dog next to Inuyasha, `How strange. I could hear this dog speak as well. Is it possible she may be another demon?'

Lifting his perfectly sculpted head to the air, the scents of the wind aroused his sense of smell. His golden eyes now locked on to sapphire ones, `She is a mere human, butwhyis she a dog?'

Though his thoughts about the dog next to Inuyasha puzzled him, Sesshoumaru's face remained stoic. A loving hand gently placed on his right shoulder caused him to stop staring at Kagome.

"Sesshoumaru, is something wrong?"

Sesshoumaru turned to see his wife and daughter giving him concerned looks, "Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it later. Rin, say goodbye to your friends. Your mother and I will wait for you in the car."

Inuyasha tugged viciously at the leash around his neck, "Don't you dare leave yet Sesshoumaru. I know you can hear me! Sesshoumaru!!!" Inuyasha's barking caused him another, rougher tug on his leash from Sango.

The demon lord excused himself from the group of teenagers, "It was nice to meet your family Kohaku." He and Sango shook hands and then Miroku along with Kohaku. He took one last glance at Inuyasha's dog form.

Sango opened her mouth to excuse her dog's behavior, "I'm extremely sorry about Silver. He doesn't take kindly to strangers. Please accept my apologies Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru nodded understandingly, "Do not worry about such things Sango. I have a brother with the same temperament as him. You might want to check if it runs in the family. I'm sure he's at least half purebred." Turning around and taking his wife by the hand, he left towards his car.

………………………

Rin watched her mother and father left the front entrance of the park towards the family car. A smile still plastered on her face as she faced Kohaku and his family.

"Well, I have to go. My daddy and mommy are leaving now." She walked over to Kohaku rather shyly before surprising him with a lovable hug.

"Bye Kohaku. I'll see at school on Monday." Kohaku just nodded numbly while all the blood rushed to face.

After releasing Kohaku and smiling up at him she hugged Sango. "Bye Sango. It was very nice meeting you. Can I hug the doggies?"

Sango returned the small hug from the bubbly child with one of her own. "Of course you can Rin. Just be careful with Silver, let him cool off for a bit." After Rin let her go, Sango crouched down before `Silver.' Her hazel eyes glared at amber ones. "Listen Silver, I don't know what's gotten into today, but you behave from now on or else I'm throwing you out. Got it?"

Inuyasha feigned innocence and cocked his head to the side. Sango sighed and shook her head as she got up. "Why do I bother? You're not going to answer back."

Cautiously, Rin approached `Silver.' Making sure not to cause him anymore anger she hugged him loosely, "Bye Silver. Please don't be mad at my daddy. He likes you." She let him go and walked over to `Angel.'

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, `Feh, that stupid bastard. I know he can hear me.' he looked over to the young girl who was currently petting Kagome's white ear. `Why did Sesshoumaru adopt a human girl? I thought he hated humans. He must have something up his sleeve.' Letting go for now, Inuyasha walked away from the scene and sat under a tree.

……………………… .

Rin was currently petting Kagome's left ear. "You're a good doggie Angel. You're not mean like Silver and prettier." Her hand unconsciously rubbed the neck until she felt something.

Kagome was lost in her thoughts to pay attention to what the child was saying, `Does Inuyasha know this Sesshoumaru person? He was yelling at him. And why would his presence make Inuyasha so angry?'

Rin felt a small ball around the necklace. Looking up at Sango she decided to leave it alone. `It belongs to Kohaku's dog. I can't take it.'Bringing her hand to side, she realized the sleeve of cotton pink shirt was caught in the necklace's clasp. Tugging a little harder she freed her hand from its grasp. Turning her back to the dog she failed to see a shiny pink jewel fall from `Angel's' neck.

Kohaku came up behind Rin, "Come on Rin. I'll walk you to your car." A small twinkle caught the eyes of the 11-year old boy. He bent down to pick it up and examined it. Noticing Rin was wearing pink and the fact that she told him she loved pink; he decided to give it to her. "Umm, Rin. I…I found this and I want you to have it." He opened his hand and presented her the pink jewel necklace. Rin's eyes widened as a gasp escaped her lips. She hugged Kohaku fiercely and squealed with excitement, "Oh, Thank you Kohaku. I love it." Taking the gift she placed it around her neck before taking his hand and leading him out the park to her car.

……………………… ……………..

Sango and Kohaku returned to their house having already dropped off Miroku off at his.

"My feet hurt sis. Why did we have to walk Miroku home?" complained Kohaku.

Sango sighed as relief spread all across her body. She sat in the small gray, cushy sofa in the living room.

"I didn't want to, but you know he always manages me to do it anyway."

Kohaku rolled his eyes, "Yeah right. You're just in love with him."

Sango's eyes narrowed. Picking up a cushion from the sofa she threw it at Kohaku full force, "Shut up. I do not love Miroku."

Kohaku ducked, narrowly missing the flying cushion, "Jeez, I was just joking, but your reaction just proved my point." Not wanting to get hit or have anything else thrown at him, he dashed out of the living room.

"Yeah, well, you love Rin!" Sango yelled at her brother's fleeting form.

She crossed her arms over her chest, "I do not love Miroku." she whispered bitterly to herself.

……………………… ….

Inuyasha angrily made his way to the large soft bed that was made for him and Kagome inside the garage. Kagome kept her distance following him inside.

"Damn that Sesshoumaru! He left me in this state. I'm going to kill him when I turn back into my true hanyou form." He crossed his front paws before him and placed his head on top of them. He growled angrily to prove his point.

Kagome's azure eyes looked upon Inuyasha, `I've already been a dog for two weeks and I still haven't found a way to change Inuyasha back. Does he really have to fall in love with someone to break the curse?'Making sure Inuyasha hadn't caught her staring yet, she continued looking at him, `The question is, who he will fall in lovewith? Will she love him back?'

Her eyes softened, `Nobody deserves to be turned into dog forever. I need to help him no matter what it takes or how rude he is.'

"What the hell are you staring at Kagome?"

Kagome awoke from her thoughts with a jolt, "Who me? N...nothing. I was just wondering why that Sesshoumaru guy got you upset. Why were you yelling at him?" She inched closer to Inuyasha as he answered.

"That bastard is my half brother."

Kagome's eyes went wide as saucers, "Your brother…?" she breathed.

Inuyasha sighed, clearly frustrated, "He's my half brother. He thinks he's better than me because he's a purebred demon. That jackass."

Kagome glanced at Inuyasha, "If he's a purebred demon and you're a hanyou; which one of your parents was the human parent?"

Inuyasha glared menacingly at Kagome, "Why do you care? My life means nothing to you."

Kagome took a step back, her eyes pleading with him, "That's not true Inuyasha. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't care. For all you know I could use the Shikon to change me back."

Inuyasha lifted his head and walked over to Kagome, "What do you mean `use the Shikon?' You don't have the Shikon jewel." he spat.

Kagome lowered her head to her neck, `For a moment I thought he actually cared.' Hiding her feelings from Inuyasha she looked him in his beautiful golden eyes, "I do have the Shikon jewel. It's hanging from my neck. Sango gave it to me two weeks ago on my birthday."

Inuyasha's amber eyes glowed mysteriously, "If you have the jewel that means that my problems are solved. Give it to me."

Kagome backed away from him, "No. What do you mean YOUR problems are solved? I've been turned into a dog too, or are you still too blind to see that?"

Inuyasha growled, "Come on Kagome, give me the jewel. We'll both be free from this damn curse!"

Seeing the determination in his eyes, she gave in, "Fine Inuyasha. Take it off my neck. Just be careful."

Bringing his jaw down to Kagome's neck, he began to searching for the chain with his snout.

`We'll both be free. That's what he wants and that's what I need, but why don't I feel happy?'

Inuyasha's golden orbs looked upon Kagome's sapphire eyes, "Kagome, there's nothing hanging around your neck." Inching back, his eyes blazed with anger, "You lied to me! You don't have the Shikon jewel!"

`I've never seen Inuyasha his angry, not even about his brother.'

"That's not true Inuyasha. I did have the Shikon. Sango gave it to me for my birthday as a present. We didn't know what it was! You have to believe me Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha lifted his head up in the air, clearly showing which one was the stronger of the two, "Get out before I do something I know I'll regret."

Kagome gasped, "Inuyasha, please. I know you want to break free of the curse, so do I. I wouldn't lie to you, I care about you…"

Kagome was cut short.

"Shut up and get out!" He began to approach her the same way he did the day they first met: like a hunter stalking its prey.

Kagome scrambled to her feet, and ran out of the garage as fast as her paws could carry her.

"I didn't lie to you Inuyasha!" she yelled as her black silhouette faded away.

……………………… ..

A/N: :sigh: I know it isn't the greatest chapter, but I've been really overwhelmed with school and homework. I hope you guys still enjoyed it though.

Ok, so I made Inuyasha act a little bit too rash about the whole Shikon jewel thing, but it will fit with the upcoming chapters. He's been through a lot in his life, and getting his hopes up by a girl who not only smells like Kikyo, but looks like her too (though he doesn't know that yet) can really get a guy pissed off. Anyway, I hope you guys noticed that Kagome seems to be having conflicting feelings towards Inuyasha. In a chapter or two the NEW MOON comes into play. Heehee!! Keep those reviews coming!
