Ending the Chase

 

The first thing Kagome heard when she got home from school was the tinkle of a small bell. She did not have time to wonder what was going on. As she stood there Buyo came careening around a corner, the bell on his collar ringing frenetically, with InuYasha in hot pursuit.

 

“InuYasha, I've told you to please not chase the cat!” Kagome said, and stepped between the pursuer and the pursued.

 

Bad move, as InuYasha did not have time to slow his momentum. He slammed into Kagome and knocked her to the floor. The hanyous eyes lit up in trepidation, and he roughly pulled her to her feet. Her eyes narrowed at him…but the dreaded word was not uttered.

 

“I couldn't help myself,” InuYasha said sheepishly. “I like it that you put that bell on him, makes him even more fun to chase.”

 

Putting her face in her palm, Kagome groaned. The bell had been her mother's idea. She thought Buyo had an unfair advantage when stalking the birds outside. As if! That lazy, fat, cat hardly stalked anything. The most exercise he got was being chased by InuYasha! But his chasing the cat had to end…

 

That night, InuYasha slept deeply on Kagome's bed. She tiptoed slowly out of her room, and found Buyo downstairs. He chirped sleepily as she removed the bell. Carefully she then attached it to the kotodama.

 

The next morning…

 

Tinkle, tinkle!

 

“Hey!”

 

“You liked it so much,” Kagome said grinning. “Now you wear it!”
