I may not own Inuyasha and gang but I own this story!

Snow. A fresh clean blanket covers the street for as far as the eye can see. I lean against the bookshelf. As I take a deep breath in a book stabs my back. I have been here for god knows how long, I lost track of time a long time ago. All I can do lately is watch from above as the people move and carry on with their busy lives. I live in a small place high above the city. It is a abandoned old building but I have made it home. There is a old stove that I never use a fridge that sits empty. Dishes that have piled up but always are forgotten at the end of the day never to be washed. The table has many things on it but none of the items I of any importance. My bed is small and with out a frame, just a mattress on the floor. A few blankets scattered around a bed that is never made. The bathroom is small and only has a standing shower and toilet and sink, no bath, no shampoos, no soap. There is a bookshelf next to the old dirty window looking down on the main street, just clean enough to see through but dirty enough to not see a clear picture, more or less I watch blurs walk on by on the street below. Out of all the books I own I have never opened a single one up and bothered to read the contents.

As days have past I have wondered why I stay in Tokyo, there is nothing here for me anymore, there never was. But it seems the longer I stay the harder it is to actually leave. I think it is all in my head; all I want is to find a reason to stay here. To understand why I on this earth. For a long time now I have searched for that answer but have never found one. My name is Inuyasha I am a half demon. And cursed. I am only human for a hour at a time it hurts to stay in a human form to long. I can normally last only for a hour and then have to rest for three before being normal again. The rest of my time I wonder around my home as a dog. I have yet to find out why it is this way but I will find my answer. My mother told me my father found his answer, and so has my brother. But when I asked her what that answer was she only smiled and told me only time will answer the question. The next day she died. That was years ago. She was only human of course. But I miss her. Not a day goes by that I wonder if she would have told me what my life means, or if anything what I am.

Sighing I breath onto the window making it fog up with my breath, then I see my chance and draw a stick man into the foggy breath. Something below catches my attention, a lady. She is staring at me. Maybe, my drawing I wipe the window to make a small clean area so I can see out. She has black hair and huge brown eyes I can see from up here, and a small figure to her, she looks so cold down there, but she is smiling up at me. Retreating back from the window I flop onto the bed. The fan above is draped with dust and as a gust of wind blows outside, the draft flings some of it and it lands on me. Sitting bolt up wrinkling my nose I look at the clock on the window, less then a minute left.

A knock on my door brings me back to reality, my first instinct takes over and I run to the door barking like a mad man.

"Hello, is any body home, I saw someone up here from outside." A long pause before the voice started up again, " I am lost, can you let me in please." A minute passes as I stare at the door waiting to see what she does, I bet she leave. Then comes knock again. " Hello!" She knocks again, but this time due to the lack of response she must have deemed it necessary to try to open the door, which has no lock. As the door swings open all I can do is stare at this woman who is now in my house and looking right at me confused. Well if she is confused you can bet I am.

"Aww what a cute dog! Hey Mr. doggy is your owner home?" She smiled as she reached a hand toward me, but for some reason I find a urge to hind but I know that there is no such thing to do in a place like mine, there is nothing to hide under or behind. Instead I just back up not taking my eyes off this lady, who is she?

"Hello? Anybody home? I am sorry to just barge in but I have no where to go and I saw a man up here." She trailed off as she looks at me moving forward again to touch my.

"Hello?" she grunts and falls onto the mattress. Looking around she looks sad and lost, but happy at the same time. She lets out a big squeal and falls back on to the mattress and grabs a blanket and rolls over. After a minute a soft breathing can be heard and I know she has fallen asleep. I wonder what I should do, what an odd day.

About five hours pass and she is still fast asleep on my bed. And by now I am ready to be a human and ask her why she is here. I just need to find clothing. Clean clothing. What a challenge. Soon I find some and make my change standing up and stretching it finally hits me, I still have dog ears, I wonder if I will give her a heart attack. Shrugging I go and grab the clean clothes I found and stand up and smell them, nope not clean. But I can't just wake her up like this. These will have to do. Pulling the shirt over my head I feel my nose wrinkle up at the smell the shirt has. Not having to dress or be human leaves me with the option to wear clothing or not, and being up here for so long by myself I have had no need for such things.

"Hey lady wake up." As soon as the words escaped my lips her eyes dart open and she sits bolt up and out of sleepy eyes looks towards me.

"I am so sorry, no one was here when I came up, I thought I saw a man through the window so I came up here only to find a dog." She turns her head half looking for the dog then slowly back to me. "May I stay here. I have no where else to go." Rubbing my head I turn over my options, I could just give her this place and finally leave, but I don't want to leave yet. But then again if I let her stay she will probably be scared out of her mind when I turn into my dog form.

"Feh, lady you have no idea what your asking to get yourself into." She looks at me with sad eyes.

"Please I promise I will not bother you, I can buy the food, and cook, and clean." She added the last part slowly as she looked around the room.

"I don't think you understand, let me repeat myself woman, you don't want to stay her." I turn to walk away, but she gets out of bed and I can feel her arms wrap my mid section.

"Please, I promise I don't care that this place is a mess, I can clean and cook and…" the last part never comes through her lips, and I feel her head hit my shoulder blades. Sighing I decide I should tell her and let her decide what she will do.

"Okay you can stay, but only if you can accept me." Her arms release me and I turn to see her face. She is brighter then the sun with that smile.

"Well I don't know what you mean by accept you but I am sure I can!" she seems thrilled at the idea of a place to sleep, I can't help but relate.

"Okay well. Here goes then." I close my eyes and let my body turn back into its cursed self and slowly not wanting to be rejected again like so many have before, I open my eyes, her mouth is wide open. It takes her a second to regain composer.

"Well, that is something." She giggles at the idea of what she just saw I am guessing, "But I accept it!" she leans forward to rub my ears. "Can you turn to a man now so I can talk to you?"

Even though she can't see I am sure my face is burning red. I can't just turn into a human from a dog and expect to be dressed. I turn my furry face to her and tilt it to the side. She frowns.

"Please I haven't had someone to talk to in ages I have been in the forest, camping, and getting away from everyone, please be a man." I lower my head for a minute then decide, well she is going to see sooner or later. As I turn into my human form I close my eyes until I am fully human. Opening my eyes I see her staring at me mouth open in shock.

Well my lovely readers. I wasn't really into the last story I was writing so I decided to try this. Let me know what you think :3
