“Wait,” Inuyasha said, sniffing the air. “Why does it smell like…dog in here?”

 

“Um…no reason!” she said. “There's no reason it smells like dog in here!”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and made to enter the room but was blocked by Kagome who came up to stand in front of him.

 

“Move,” Inuyasha said and Kagome did just that.

 

Entering the room Inuyasha looked around. The bed clovers were all over the floor and, though it seemed impossible, they were moving! Inuyasha walked up to them and was about to kick it when he thought better of it. What if this was the reason it smelled like dog in his room?

 

:”Um,” Kagome said. “Maybe it smells like dog in here because of you?”

 

Inuyasha turned to her, confused.

 

“Huh?” he said smartly.

 

“Well,” said Kagome, looking for some other excuse or anything to hide the puppy. “You're a inu-hanyou, right?”

 

Inuyasha nodded, thinking he knew where this was going but letting Kagome continue. He liked the red tinge that she was getting in her cheeks, it made her look cuter.

 

But, once Inuyasha knew that he had just thought that, the thought died a quick and painful death…only to come back a second later as a ghost.

 

“Well,” she repeated. “Maybe that's why. You said it smells like dog in here…and you're an inu-hanyou…so…um…it kind of explains it?”

 

Even though she had finished in a question she really hadn't expected an answer. But, Inuyasha being Inuyasha, gave her one, just to keep her looking cute with that blush that was steadily growing deeper.

 

`Damn ghost of a thought…' he thought.

 

“No,” he said. “That doesn't explain it. So I'm an inu-hanyou…that doesn't mean I smell like a dog all of the time.”

 

Kagome giggled at the double meaning and said, “Sure…then why do you always smell like a dog?”

 

Inuyasha growled and said, “I do not! Only when I don't bath for a while!”

 

Kagome just smiled but didn't say anything. She knew that Inuyasha would not back down. Besides, she really wasn't expecting Inuyasha not to find the puppy. So, sighing, Kagome bent over and moved the blankets to reveal Aoyama, who was wrestling with the blankets still covering her.

 

“Will you keep her?” Kagome asked hopefully.

 

Inuyasha stared at the puppy and it stopped it's little wrestling game to stare back at him. Suddenly it yipped softly and walked/fell over to Inuyasha, demanding to be held.

 

“Keh,” he said and pick the little one up. “Little bit of a shrimp aren't you?”

 

The puppy only yipped and turned it's head to Kagome.

 

“I found her in the backyard. I fed her to. Is that ok?”

 

Inuyasha looked up from examining the puppy.

 

“Why wouldn't it be? Unless you fed it Ramen, then I'll have to kill you.”

 

Kagome, though knowing that Inuyasha was only playing, would have taken anyone else's word for it. She shook her head and watched as Inuyasha gently pet Aoyama, mindful of his claws.

 

“Do you like her?” she asked suddenly, hoping that Inuyasha would keep the little puppy. She had had many animals in the castle, but they had all been killed defending her from Kikyo.

 

Kagome's face grew sad at the memory but Inuyasha didn't notice as he said, “She looks underfed, but that can be fixed…I think.”

 

Kagome nodded and thought, `He seems so gentle right now. I wonder if it's because of the puppy. Maybe he thinks of it as a child…he doesn't want to act bad in front of it.' Suddenly Kagome sighed. `I hope we can keep her. Then, when Inuyasha is out, I'll have some one to play with.'

 

“Kagome?” Inuyasha said, noticing the distant look on her face. “What the hells wrong with you?”

 

Kagome blinked and looked at him, saying smartly, “Huh?”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and said, “I said, `what the hell is wrong with you?'”

 

`Ok…so maybe scratch that idea about being nice because of the puppy.'

 

“Nothing,” she said. “Well? Are you going to keep Aoyama?”

 

Inuyasha stared at the puppy a while longer before she said, “I like that name.” He glanced at Kagome and saw the hope in her eyes. “Whatever. As long as I don't have to keep walking into its shit…literally.”

 

Kagome squealed and ran up to Inuyasha, giving him a hug.

 

“Ouch!” she said, backing away. “You got rocks in your shirt?”

 

“No,” Inuyasha said, and set Aoyama down.

 

Then he reached inside his pocket and drew out the package that Sango had given to him.

 

“Here,” he said. “While I was at Miroku's that Sango girl gave me this. She told me to give it to you.”

 

Kagome reached out, curious, and took the package.

 

“What is it?” she said.

 

Inuyasha crossed his arms and said, “Keh, how the hell should I know?”

 

Kagome sat down on the bed and started to open the package, careful in case there was something fragile in it. It took her only moments though since there was only one layer to it. When it was open she gasped.

 

There, lying in the middle of the brown paper, was a small jewelry set. A necklace, a bracelet, a ankle bracelet, a ring, and earrings.

 

“Wow,” Inuyasha said, coming over to have a look. “Where did she get the money to buy all of that?”

 

Kagome started to cry. Sango hadn't bought this stuff…she had made it. It had been a while since Kagome had seen these. When they were both still in the castle Sango had made these for Kagome, who had, in turn, given Sango a boomerang.

 

Kagome, who loved magic, had infused the jewelry with her most powerful spells and had worn them everywhere. Because of these items, she had been saved three times from assassins and poison as well.

 

Now that she had them back, Kagome was safe to go wherever she wanted and to do whatever she wanted. Well, that was if she ever stopped being a slave.

 

`Yeah,' she thought. `Fat chance of that happening.'

 

Then there were strong arms around her and a voice whispering in her ear, though she could not make out what was being said. So, though a little reluctantly, Kagome pulled herself back into reality to hear what Inuyasha was saying.

 

“Shh, it's going to be ok. Don't cry, Kagome, I'll protect you.”

 

Kagome stiffened. She had heard these words before, from her old love.

 

`But remember,' said a little voice. `He helped Kikyo to throw you out in the end. He never wanted to protect you…and…he never loved you either.'

 

Kagome started to cry harder and she tried to push away from Inuyasha, but he only help her tighter.

 

“I promise,” he whispered. “Nothing will happen to you. Not as long as I live.”

 

Kagome kept crying and Inuyasha kept holding her, whispering comforting words to her.

 

Kagome's last thought before she fell into exhaustion was, `I know I shouldn't…but I believe him.'

 

A/N: Ok, now I know that it's been a while since I last posted…but I've had a lot to do. Anyways, I know that I said I'd put the votes up but, uh, I lost them. I'm going to have to go back and recount later, then I'll post them, ok?
