*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome Higurashi was an animal lover since the day she was born; though that mere fact wasn't good enough to keep said animals alive. When she was four, her parents had given her a pet canary… she had decided that Tori needed fresh air and opened the cage door. Tori then flew out the window and within five seconds was devoured by a scavenging hawk.

 

No duh she cried, the poor girl cried her eyes out until her father finally came home one afternoon with an adorable tiny orange and white hamster. She was immediately content again, playing with her new little Hamtaro… who eventually was sucked up into the vacuum cleaner.

 

And then there was the overfed Sashimi… yes he was a fish and no he wasn't sliced into nothing but raw meat. According to her parents, Sashimi “ran away” when she was at school and with Kagome only being six… she of course, believed them.

 

There was also her pet bunny Chibi-Usa… to make a long story short, she was eaten by the same hawk that viciously devoured Tori. Somehow Kagome wasn't too bothered by Chibi's death, seeing as during her mourning, InuYasha was there to console her.

 

Yes… he always did have a way with making her feel extraordinarily better… it was just his thing. How he stayed so calm after witnessing the rabbit being eaten alive however was just totally beyond her! He never freaked out about anything!

 

“Hi this is Kagome Higurashi, I'm calling about a dog that was left on my front porch this morning and I was wondering if you could-” There suddenly came loud howling and crashing noises from the other room where she had left Inochi. In a flash she was back in the living room, witnessing her little visitor flipping about the room in a panic, running around with dizzying speed, crashing into anything and everything. “I'll call you back…” She muttered, throwing the phone onto the sofa and chasing the wild animal around.

 

“Inochi! Come here boy… come here… I won't hurt you…”

 

But the dog continued to freak out, crazily bumping into tables with lamps and the rest of the living room set.

 

“Come here boy! What's wrong!? Dammit… I can't speak dog you know!” Kagome grumbled, trying unsuccessfully to catch the canine's tail.

 

InuYasha ran into another wall… this couldn't be happening to him! “What the fuckhappened!? What the hell am I a fucking dog! Dammit somebody tell me what the fucking hell is going on!!!???”

 

Kagome covered her ears as Inochi started barking and whimpering obnoxiously. “Ugh! What is the matter with you!?” She screamed, finally jumping on top of the out-of-control animal, and pinning him to the floor… this dog definitely had to go.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

The large obese dog-catcher closed the barred cage door on a still whimpering, muzzle wearing Inochi. “Well Miss, have a good day.” He yawned, scratching his bulging belly.

 

Kagome peered through the windows of the truck; almost feeling guilty for the sad whimpering and pleading expression Inochi was giving her… he seemed almost human… it was so oddly familiar too.

 

Inochi whimpered again, scratching pathetically at the cage door. “Kagome…”

 

The woman sighed with defeat, pointing at the adorable puppy-faced animal. “I can't believe I'm doing this… you owe me big time pal.” She ran to the driver's side of the vehicle, tapping on the window. “Sir? Excuse me sir? I change my mind… I'd like to keep him…”

 

The man quirked a large hairy brow before shrugging, “Alright but I'm still getting paid for coming down here.” He grunted lazily, squeezing his way out of the small truck and waddling back to Inochi.

 

Kagome smiled brightly at the Thank-Kami expression Inochi was giving her… he was just too familiar.

 

InuYasha sighed in relief clawing off the unnecessary muzzle. “Jeeze… that was close…”

 

“Alright now buddy.” Kagome cleared her throat seriously, “Here are the rules… no sleeping on the furniture, no doing your doggy business anywhere inside the house… and just please behave. That's all I'm asking for.” She turned towards the porch. “Kami what have I gotten myself into…”

 

InuYasha… Inochi followed. `Well… looks like I've got to play it cool for a while… damn that Suiren chick… go figure I can still see in color but Kagome can't understand me.' It was then that he realized… he would be living with his best friend for the next twenty-four hours. “Kami what the hell have I gotten myself into…”

 

Little did he know, twenty-four hours was nowhere near the time he would be spending with her…

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Six PM and the evening was still young… the house smelled of cooked pasta, coming directly from the kitchen where both Kagome and Inochi were situated. Occasionally, the young woman would glance down at her quiet companion, smiling when he wagged his tail innocently.

 

“Aren't you adorable?”

 

InuYasha grumbled what was a whimper to Kagome. “I'm not adorable, I'm hungry dammit.”

 

“Ooh… here…” She kneeled down and let him lick the sauce covered spatula. “How's it taste?”

 

Inochi barked in approval. “Yeah, now bring some of that towards my food bowl because I am not going to eat that other shit you bought.”

 

“Good, I've got a special visitor coming over tonight and I wanted everything to be perfect.” She smiled cheerfully, heading towards the sink and washing the wooden spoon.

 

InuYasha licked his lips and smiled back, his mind registering the word and his tail suddenly going straight. `Visitor?'

 

The woman glanced back at the very silent dog. “My best friend InuYasha finally knocked some sense into me… it's time that I stopped waiting for my certain someone… so I invited an old friend over for dinner.”

 

InuYasha was still at a loss. `Old friend? Whoa what the hell?'

 

Kagome finished setting the table just as the doorbell rang. “Alright that's him… you behave.” She warned quickly, rushing to greet her unknown visitor. Inochi followed curiously, this guest of hers must have been extremely important… she had dressed up and everything!

 

The woman opened the door… also unknowingly opening the steel bars of InuYasha's instincts. He found himself growling lowly at the man he had introduced to Kagome before…

 

“Koga…”

 

“Hey there, thanks again for doing this… I just wasn't sure if you still wanted to get together after I turned you down the last time.” Kagome smiled sincerely.

 

The handsome young man smiled, his gorgeous sky blue eyes illuminating his dark features. “No problem, you said that you were waiting for the right guy… I just didn't happen to be it at the time.” He handed her a bouquet of roses, then they headed for the kitchen, bypassing the angry dog.

 

InuYasha sat there in what he would call disgust and what the rest of the world would call jealousy. How the fuck could she do this!? Kagome knew damn well that he hated that Koga bastard! There was no way in hell he was going to just stand by and watch her with that cocky little asshat! It was decided then, he would do everything he possibly could do, as a dog, to make sure Koga never saw Kagome ever again.

 

He made his way into the kitchen where Koga was pulling out one of the oak chairs for Kagome to sit on. He gagged, “Oh you've got to be kidding me.”

 

The couple turned to the barking and growling dog. “Inochi, behave.” The woman scolded.

 

Koga laughed, “It's alright Kagome, I'll get him.” He walked over towards the glowering canine and grabbed him by his new red collar, leading him into the living room.

 

“Get you fucking hands off me you son of a bitch!” Inochi growled, snapping at the man's hand.

 

Koga withdrew quickly, glaring back at the angry dog. Clearly, they weren't going to get along. “Now you listen up you stupid mutt, I don't need you to screw up my chances to score with this chick, I already had to go through hell with her fucking best friend. If you get in my way tonight I swear I'll skin you alive and sell your fur to a coat factory in France!”

 

InuYasha's eyes narrowed into tiny burning slits, more at what Koga was planning to do to Kagome rather than himself. “I won't let you touch her… you're gonna be the one skinned alive…”

 

Koga smirked at the low-growling Inochi, it was almost as though they understood one another. “Be a good mongrel now.” He grinned, exiting the living room.

 

InuYasha scoffed, “Bastard… we'll see who the mongrel is.” And slowly, but surly… he devised his evil plan.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
