It was a bright summer after noon, the birds were singing, and a nice breeze was blowing. It was just the perfect day for a birthday partying for a 10-year-old girl. Kagome Higurashi finally turned 10 and for the two years she had begged her mom and dad to get a dog. But her mother and father kept saying no, they already had a cat.
Kagome sat down in the living room as her mother and father brought out her gifts. One box however was larger than the rest. Kagome thought they wanted her to open that one last so she started to open the smaller one when her mother carefully sat down the big box in front of her.
"Why don't you open this one first, sweetie," her mom said cheerfully.
"But you always have me wait to open the big ones," Kagome said, looking down at the box.
"But this time you can open this one first," her father said with a smile.
"Well, go on child," her grandfather insisted. "Don't keep us waiting."
"Okay," Kagome said, ripping off the paper on the top.
Once she did that out popped a shaggy, white puppy. He looked around the room for a moment, when his golden brown eyes met a set of deep brown ones. He looked at her for a moment looking at her in surprise. Kagome's face turned into a large smile.
"It's a—a puppy," Kagome said, picking him up out of the box. "Thank you, thank you!"
"I wanna see him," Souta said, walking up the new puppy and patted him on the head. "He so soft."
"Well, are you happy," her father asked kneeling down to Kagome. "You finally got the dog you wanted."
"YES," Kagome said nearly screaming. "He's the best dog ever! Thank you!"

"Kagome, what are you doing out here," Her mom asked as Kagome sat down on the front step. "Where's your new puppy?"
"Over there," Kagome pointed lazily at the white puppy lying down a ways from her with his back towards her. "I don't think he likes me."
"Oh, now," the mother said, sitting down beside her. "He's probably tired is all."
"No, that's not it," Kagome said, bring her knees to her chin. "I really think he doesn't like me. When I went to pet him he got up and ran away."
"Oh, I see," her mother said, rubbing her back. "Just give him some time. I'm sure he'll warm up to you."
"I even tried to get him to play with me," Kagome whined, "but all he did was growl at me and walk off."
"Oh," her mother said, getting worried. "If he's growling at you then that's something different. We need to take him back he may not be good dog to have."
"NO," Kagome said, standing up. "I love him! I don't won't you to get rid of him!"
"But, Kagome, if he's acting that way towards you he could hurt you," her mother said, holding her daughter's hands. "What about your little brother? He's only 3 years old. You don't want him to get hurt do you?"
"Well, no, but you're not getting rid of my dog!" Kagome said, running into the house.
Her mother then turned to look at dog lying under the large tree on the shrine grounds. He was rolled over slightly looking at her. She sighed a bit as she stood up and started back inside. She gave one last look at the puppy as she closed the door. She would have to talk to her husband about what Kagome said. If the puppy was growling at Kagome he may turn out the be vicious when he gets older. However she decide to wait and talk to her husband, since Kagome just got her dog.
The two nights after she got her puppy, she though a name for him. Her father as a joke said to call it Sesshoumaru, which means destruction of life. Kagome however didn't like that name but Sesshoumaru did give her an idea. She called it Inuyasha meaning dog demon. Never knowing that was a perfect name for him because that is how he acted. He acted just like a demon.

Two years later the puppy had grown up and was still living at the shrine. But Inuyasha still had nothing to do with them. Giving him a bath ment having to wear thick cloves, staying a good 6 feet away from him when he was eating, never sneaking up on him, or loving on him. Kagome really loved the dog but the dog nine times out of ten would ignore her and the rest of the family.
Souta had already been bitten four times, the grandfather got bitten six times trying to get the dog to move so he could sweep, Mrs. Higurashi got bit a couple of times trying to take something away from Inuyasha. Mr. Higurashi got bit about five times taking the dog to the vets and Kagome got bit a total of 11 times just trying to play with him.
Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi were really considering getting rid of Inuyasha. He had already run of a bunch of the worshipers. By biting them, growling, barking, and flat out chasing them off and that fact the Inuyasha was such a gigantic dog only added to the danger of him. They tried telling Kagome that Inuyasha had to go that he was a danger. Kagome however put her foot down. She had worked too hard to get a dog and dammit if she was not going to loose this one.
Later that year Kagome's father had fallen ill. He collapsed suddenly in the kitchen during breakfast. The doctors said it was his heart. It was something he had gotten a while back. But he was too stubborn about going to the doctors and hid his sickness from his family to not make them worry about him. Now he was in the hospital and only given a month at the most to live.
The night he pasted away was the worst night of Kagome's life. She took it the hardest of the family. She sat up in her room with her arms rapped around her legs. She was crying her eyes out. Inuyasha had strolled into the room and lied down on the floor at the end of the bed. Kagome stretched out so her head was a the base of the bed. She looked down at the large white dog. Inuyasha rested his head on the floor he eyes still open looking around the room.
"Inuyasha," Kagome sniffed but the dog did not move. "Inuyasha, do you hate me?"
The dog looked up at her slightly, picked himself up, and started out the door. Kagome started to cry even more. He had answered her question by leaving her alone. She quickly buried her head in the sheets of the bed, crying even more. Now matter what Kagome did to get Inuyasha to like her it always seemed to screw everything up. The one time she though Inuyasha may comfort her he left her once more not wanting to have anything to do with her.

3 years later things had not improved with Inuyasha. Kagome was now 15, Souta was 8, and Inuyasha was now 5 years old. Kagome had hoped as he got older he would settle down and be loving towards everyone but it was no such luck. Inuyasha was just as ornery as ever towards everyone. In fact he seemed to have gotten worse. Even Kagome had finally decide to get of him but when ever animal control would come to get him, Inuyasha would run them off.
Kagome had hard time getting out of the house just to go to school. Inuyasha would chance her down the steps. He would do the same for Souta. He was never aloud back in the house after he latched on to Souta's leg for no reason as he walked into the living room. They had even stopped feeding him, hoping he would leave. Inuyasha, however, would go after them whenever they would take out the garbage, looking for food.
The only good thing about his was he was best guard dog in the area. There had been a string of robberies in the neighborhood and the crook had made the mistake of coming to the shrine, looking for valuables only to find Inuyasha's fangs and claws his he's legs.
Kagome still tried to get the dog to become tame but only succeeded in loosing more blood. They had to keep their 9-year-old cat, Buyo, inside now so Inuyasha would not hurt or kill him. Thing had gotten worse. The grandfather had a hard time trying to keep the shrine clean with Inuyasha attacking his brooms. Things were definitely getting worse. Strange things started to happen around the place.
Odd things that could not be explained. No one could explain how things would turn up missing and then reappear somewhere else sometimes even outside in Inuyasha's possession. There were also growls and yowls from with in the house not to mention shadows. What ever was going on was getting worse and it seemed to be targeting Kagome and Souta the most. Little did they know this was the tip of iceberg to what was going to be the worst time of their lives.
(A/N Hai, I know this is short for the my chapters but I decided to leave it here and wait to get the juicy parts in the other chapters. Well, tell me what you think. Buh Bye!)
