Chapter 4

a/n: I'm finally back to writing after about a month. I'm really sorry about that, but my language teacher keeps swamping us with projects. Anyways, enough about my horrible teacher and on to the story!

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

Kagome looked up from her book to see Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku glaring at something coming their way.

Slightly confused by what they were looking at, she followed their gazes to see a girl wearing a red tube top and a white short skirt.

Glancing back at the girl and then at the rest of the group, Kagome decided to have the sandwich she bought.

"Oh Inuyasha! I missed you" The girl said reaching their table.

"Go away Kikyo!" Sango hissed glaring at her.

Turning to glare back at Sango she said, "No one is talking to you".

Sango started clenching and un-clenching her fist at her sides.

"Anyway, how have you been Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked sitting next to him.

Inuyasha only grunted in response.

Kagome, meanwhile was quietly eating her sandwich, pondering just who this girl was.

Taking a bite of her sandwich she watched the whole group glare at this girl who seemed unaffected by this.

Kagome could feel the tension in the group. She wouldn't be surprised if some whipped out a butter knife, cut the air, and put it on toast.

Taking another bite of her meal, Kagome looked up and was very surprised to see Inuyasha and this stranger locking lips right there. The sandwich that she just swallowed stop right there in the middle of her esophagus.

Immediately she started coughing. Startled that her new friend was chocking, Sango rushed over and started patting her back. Miroku looked at her with worry for his new friend. Kikyo released her steel grip on Inuyasha shirt and gave a glare to this girl who started chocking. Inuyasha, finally out of Kikyo's grip growled and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was about to start yelling at Kikyo for kissing him when he finally realized Kagome was chocking.

Once Kagome finished coughing, Kikyo glared at her and started to question her.

"Who are you?"

"..."

"Well?"

"..."

"What is your problem?!"

"Kikyo, maybe you should leave" Sago said.

"Hmph! Fine! Bye Inu baby"

'So... who was that?' Kagome wrote to Sango.

'That was Kikyo, Inuyasha's last girlfriend. They broke up but she's persistent'.

'Ok then'

'So what are you doing today?'

'Just some volunteering, why?'

'Well, me and Miroku are busy so we can't go to Inuyasha's house'

'Ok, but how does that involve me?'

'Let's just say he would rather volunteer than spend time with his older brother, Sesshomaru'.

'Ok, well I guess he can come'

'Great! Let me tell him'

"Ok, so after school you and Kagome are going to do some volunteering." Sango told Inuyasha.

"Keh! And why would I do that?".

"Would you rather spend time with Sesshomaru?"

"Feh."

"I thought so."

AFTER SCHOOL

Like they planned, when school was over Kagome and Inuyasha started their departure to wherever Kagome volunteers.

Kagome was in a generally good mood that day so she was smiling the whole way there.

'What is she so damn happy about?' Inuyasha wondered.

All of a sudden Kagome stopped, causing Inuyasha to bump into her. When Inuyasha followed her gaze he saw she was looking at a sign. It read: 'Purrfect pets animal shelter'.

Kagome opened the door to the building with Inuyasha following behind. Seeing the desk she smiled. Sitting at the desk was a woman in her twenties. She had grey/white hair. She was reading a magazine .

Kagome walked over and hugged the girl. Looking up from the magazine the woman smiled and got up and hugged back.

'Kagome. It's so good to see you' the woman signed.

'You to Tsubaki.' Kagome signed.

'So who's your friend?'.

'Oh that's right I forgot. That is Inuyasha' .

'I see... Anyway, the animals have missed you'.

'I missed them to. Have they been good?'.

'Yes, luckily for me. Okay enough small talk. I'll take the cages, you take the exercise?'

'Sure.'

With that the two of them headed off to do their work, leaving Inuyasha standing there.

Walking over to the window he took a seat. A few minutes later he saw Kagome going outside with a group of dogs.

He watched in amusement when he saw Kagome trying playing fetch and then all the dogs tackled her.

"She's a real nice girl you know?" Tsubaki said suddenly making Inuyasha yelp.

"Feh." Inuyasha replied. " So when did Kagome start volunteering here?"

"Hm... I think about two months before the accident."

"Accident?"

"Kagome wasn't always this way. She used to talk and be all bubbly and happy... That's also why all the animals love her."

"So what exactly happened?"

"Well- Oh look speak of the devil."

Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome standing there.

'Ok Tsubaki. We have to go but I will come back as soon as I can.'

'Ok, I'll see you then. Bye!'

'Bye!'

Kagome was walking to the door when Inuyasha suddenly grabbed her wrist. Sighing she started looking for some paper and a pencil. She wrote:

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing, but what are we doing now?'.

'Volunteering.'

With out warning, Kagome walked to the door with Inuyasha still holding her wrist.

When they were outside Inuyasha let go of Kagome's wrist and started to blush. Kagome didn't notice though, because she started walking again.

Realizing Inuyasha hadn't moved, Kagome stopped and had to wait for him. Once the two were standing side by side, they started walking again.

AT THE UNKNOW LOCATION

After about ten minutes of walking they finally reached a building that was some what similar to a house.

Once inside, Inuyasha watched with confusion as Kagome kneeled down with her arms open.

His confusion was soon cleared though, when he heard thundering foot steps. Peeping out of a corner was a group of kids.

"Hey look! it's Kagome!" One of the kids said.

"And some weird dude!" another exclaimed.

"Hey! I can hear you!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Quick! Let's go to Kagome before that guy clubs us." A little girl yelled. With that said, all the kids ran over to Kagome giving her a big group hug.

''Hi Shippo...'

'Hi!'

'Hello Hitomi, Soten, Koume and Kanna.'

'Hello' The rest of the kids signed.

'How have you all been?'

'Good.' Kanna signed.

'I'm glad to hear, er, see. So where is Hitomiko?'

'She's in the other room.' Koume replied.

'I see. Well, I'm going to go talk to her. You guys stay here okay?'

'Ok'

Nodding, Kagome walked into the other room leaving Inuyasha and the kids alone.

The kids all slowly turned around and started smiling deviously. Inuyasha had a BAD feeling about this...

One of the kids stepped up and said one simple but horrifying word that would haunt Inuyasha for the rest of his life, "Makeover"

a/n: Dun dun dun! Poor Inuyasha! what are those kids going to do to him? Find out in the next chapter! Anyways, please review, that would be awesome! Ok, that's it from me, Peace!
