The Silver Dog

It was a dark night. Rain had started to fall. There was no one out at this time of night... Maybe it was just too dark for anyone to go out. It was hard to say. The only thing out was a silver furred dog. His golden eyes stared at his surroundings. Many would think that he's just a dog. But he's really a person, with a curse placed upon him.

'I can't stand that Miko... Whatever her name is... Cursing me just because I slaughtered her village without feeling any kind of compassion, I can still remember her words when the curse was placed...'

-------

Silver haired, man was standing in the ruins of a village. His clothes reeked of blood. His dog ears twitched from the sounds of screams that were heard from villagers that ran. Only one person was left in the village besides the dog eared man. His molten gold eyes stared at the woman that stood before him. Her eyes were a light shade of brown; her hair was long and a shiny black. The clothing she wore was of a Miko, which would be a white robe and red hakama's.

Her eyes burned holes through his. The way she looked at him was something that could make anyone run for their lives. The Miko darkly said "you have destroyed my home. I sense no compassion in your heart. No love or kindness is in your heart... You shall learn to care for another... You will never be happy..." With that said, she lunched an arrow at his chest. The man fell to his knees grunting in pain. He could feel his bones burning. Melting... forming into something that he doesn't know.

What was this curse supposed to do? Those were the only words that flowed through his mind. It all just happened so fast. All he could remember was seeing his hands turn to paws. Fur started to grow on his skin. And a muzzle started to form on his face. When the burning stopped, he stared at the Miko with a cold glare. Growling very darkly as he tried to scream 'what the hell is your problem?'

But... he couldn't. His words weren't... words anymore, instead they were barks. Just what the hell happened? Growling even darker at the Miko as he wanted to know what the hell she did. The smirk on her face was enough to tell him that this was what she had planned on doing the whole time. The Miko glared at him as she said in a calm tone "you act and behave like a dog. And so, you must live like one... From now on, you are and shall be a dog for all time. Unless you can find and mend a wounded heart, till then, you'll remain a dog... Good bye..."

With that said, she was gone. And now, the man, now turned dog, started to live out his days as a dog... A cursed dog... He had sworn to find the person that could free him of this curse. And once he does... he'll kill them...

----------

'Damn her!' thought the dog. He wanted to kill her so badly that day. But he couldn't. For after the curse was placed, she had died he will admit though, he was one of the reasons that her village died... But... he had a different reason... after all; he was after a demon and anyone that got in his way paid the price. They died by his hands but he had only killed three or four humans... While the demon had completely set the village to blaze, still... the Miko was right... He felt no kindness, love or compassion...

Maybe... he deserved this curse... 'NO! I shouldn't be thinking like that! Ok, I know how to break the curse, I tried to help many humans over the years but so far... the curse hasn't broken at all... It hasn't even weakened a little bit! Dammit!' Then the dog heard a voice. It was a scream. Someone was crying for help. Sigh. Well... maybe if he was lucky, it would be the person that has a wounded heart.

Running as fast as his legs could carry, he ran to a dark alley. It was hard to see what was going on. But lucky for him, his eyes weren't normal dog eyes. But the eyes of a demon walking in the darkness of the alley, he could hear whimpers, sobbing, and whispers of someone saying 'I'm going to die'. When he came to the end of the alley, he saw about three dogs surrounding a girl. At the moment he couldn't see what the girl looked like, but that didn't matter. What mattered is that these dogs were on his damn turf!

Growling at the dogs that were on his turf, the dogs turned to face him. Their growl told him that they didn't care about him at the moment. They only cared about the human they had cornered. The silver dog didn't wait for them to talk. Or in this case bark. For he charged at them the scream of the human that was behind him told him that she was scared out of her mind. He could smell her fear. But at the moment, he didn't care. All he cared about was the heat of battle. The feel of adrenalin coursed through his veins as he clawed at the dogs.

The brown dog was the leader of the group. There was no telling what he was saying to his friends. But at the moment, the silver dog didn't care. All he wanted were these dogs off his turf or dead. Either way, it was a win, win. The black dog had disappeared, along with the grey one. How that was, it was hard to say. Then, the silver dog felt something biting his leg.

Yelping in pain, trying to get the grey dog off of his leg but that wasn't working. For the black dog had jumped and landed on the silver dogs back. Biting into his neck, there was no way of pulling free. Then, the brown charged at the silver dog, planning to get a good bite. But... something happened... The silver dog used his other leg to kick the grey dog off of his leg, spun around and kicked the oncoming brown wolf, than he slammed the black wolf into the wall, while it was still on his back.

The brown dog growled at the silver one, and charged again, this time clawing at the silver dog's chest while he was slamming the black dog into the wall. The silver dog howled in pain, and fell as his legs gave out from the blood loss. The brown dog smiled saying that he had won. That is... until the silver dog got up again and bit into the dog's neck and ripping it off. (I know, a little harsh, I don't like killing animals but... it had to be done...)

The other two ran off, since their leader died. The silver dog turned and slowly walked toward the girl that was about to have been killed by the group of dogs. Growling at her, as he walked the girl's heart beat went up from her fear. The dog had stopped a few steps away from her and stared at her. But as soon as he did... his growling stopped.

His golden eyes met fear filled chocolate brown ones. Her hair was raven black; her clothing was ripped and covered in her blood. But her face was what made him stop. He couldn't look away. Taking another step close to her, wanting to comfort her, though he wanted to know why he wanted to help her, he wasn't sure. But the girl closed her eyes, waiting for the dog to hurt her. But... she felt something wet touching her cheek. When she opened her eyes, she saw the dog touching her cheek with his wet nose.

Almost... almost as if he was trying to comfort her... Telling her that it's safe... That he won't harm her at all... She stared into his golden eyes. Something about this dog... wasn't normal... She didn't fear this dog... even after seeing what this dog could do... Just what was this dog?

The dog's legs wobbled, unable to stand any longer, unable to stay awake... Then he dropped to the ground, passing out from blood loss. The girl couldn't bear to see him like this, so she picked him up and started to walk back to her house, with him on her back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she got home, she placed the dog on a bed in her room, and started to mend his wounds. The wounds weren't that bad. But weren't that good either. It was a good thing that the dog was out cold. For the wounds would start to sting from cleaning them.

"Why did you help me...?" Said the girl, as soon as she finished cleaning up the wounds, and patched up the dog she walked down stairs to check her messages. There was a light flashing and went to check it. Clicking the play button the message started to play.

"Hey Kagome! It's Miroku! Ok, I know you haven't been going to work for the past few days, but you have too! The boss isn't taking it too well with his best worker out. So please get back to work! Bye! ... Well I sure hope that she'll get the message... What do you think Sango?"

"I do too... She hasn't spoken to us since what happened all those years ago but- what the! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME DAMMIT!"

SLAP!

"OW! Damn you slap hard! Why must you harm me Sango? You know my hand is cursed... Besides I can't keep my hands away from beauty like yours..."

"Shut up... Wait... Miroku did you even check if you were even done talking to Kagome's machine?"

"Of course- OH DEAR GOD IT'S STILL ON!"

End of message.

Kagome sighed, those two wouldn't learn... When she looked at the clock to see what time it was, she couldn't help but notice that it was past 11. She must have been out longer than she thought... She went to the bathroom to have a shower, a fresh change of clothes and started to get cleaned up. Once she was finished with that, she walked to her room and sat by the bed. Hoping that the dog will wake up soon, even if that seems impossible the dog had received great wounds.

It would be a miracle that he'll even wake up tomorrow morning... But what she doesn't know is that... Miracles do happen...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome felt something touching her cheek again. It was wet, and cold... When she opened her eyes, she saw pools of gold staring back at her. What the? When she sat up, she saw the dog away and wagging his tail right at her. She couldn't believe it... He's awake! And huh? When she looked at the paper near her face she saw that there as some writing on it.

When she looked at it, she couldn't believe it... Ok, the writing was a little crappy but still readable. It said 'My name's Inuyasha... What's yours?' Kagome stared at the dog as if it had a second head. All the dog did was wagging his tail and bark happily at her. Why was this dog so friendly all of a sudden? It was a bark and bite last night... And now... it's all smiles... Just what is going on?

Then she thought of what the dog had asked in the note. So she calmly said "I'm Kagome... It's nice to meet you Inuyasha..." Inuyasha barked happily. His tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth happily, all he did was smile at Kagome. And it was a smile that could melt anyone's heart. Even one... that has a fear of dogs...
okay, this is my first curse story, and it was originally called 'Fear, Curse, Friendship And Love' but it wouldn't fit, sorry, first chapter please enjoy!
