AN: I feel a bit fuzzy inside. I�ve never gotten so many reviews. (I�m a bit stunned. I need a moment to form my thoughts.) Thank you all very much, and the suggestions were actually very helpful. I thought he was a bit out of character myself, but half way through I thought �screw it� and just kept writing. I figured he couldn�t be too annoying, because then Kagome might kick him out. Either way, I edited a bit, and I think I fixed it a tad. I�m not sure. Anyway�

Chapter Two: Feed That Poor Man!

Not an hour after Kagome had left her house, she decided to take break at a rest stop. Inuyasha hadn�t said anything for the last half hour and instead just stared benignly at the passing scenery so Kagome welcomed the relief of her boredom, even if just for a little while.

After five minutes of trying to explain to Inuyasha why he couldn�t join her in the ladies restroom, she finally broke free long enough to splash her face with cold water.

�Man, this has been a long day,� she groaned to her reflection.

Leaving the restroom, she found her companion at one of the many benches waiting for her in perfect silence. He was surprisingly large for a guy who used to be a toy no longer than a foot. He towered over he by about a eight inches when he was standing and Kagome had to crane her neck just a little. I unnerved her a little. That rather large man currently sat crossed legged on the bench and gazed at the surrounding countryside. He looked calm, almost peaceful as if he was where he belonged at that moment, but all of that was ruined when she sat down beside him.

He looked at her and then moaned, �I�m hungry.�

�You�ll just have to wait until we get to Sango�s house, because I�m not letting you eat anything out of one of those vending machines.�

�But I need food,� he whined.

�You can wait another hour,� Kagome scolded him. She felt like she was his mother at the moment, and she didn�t like that feeling at all. �I�m sure Sango will feed us.�

�What if she doesn�t?�

�I can�t think of a plausible reason for her not to.� In an attempt to change the subject she asked him a few questions. �How did you get your name?�

�Inuyasha?�

�Yeah, it�s not something you hear everyday.�

�I don�t know. I guess I�ve always had it,� he sighed.

Kagome was taken aback. �You mean you don�t know where you got your name?�

�I can�t remember where I came from, how am I suppose to remember how I got my name?� he scoffed.

�I don�t know, I guess I thought you�d made it up or something,� she mumbled more to herself than to him.

�Well I don�t know where I got it from, I just know it�s my name.�

�Some name.�

Mimicking her early statement to him in the car he retorted, �You know, for someone so small, you sure are bitchy.�

�What did you say?� Anger was bubbling so fast to the surface she wasn�t sure what she might do when it finally emerged in full force. Her eyes narrowed to almost indiscernible slits and death by ocular destruction was their goal.

�I said��

�NO.� She wasn�t going to listen to this crap. �Get into the car.� The words barely came out. It wasn�t so much because she was stunned as it was she was mad beyond words. When he tried to argue with her she seethed, �Get into the car, just get into the car.� Slamming the door behind her, she left the rest stop so fast that Inuyasha almost got whiplash.
�Whoa. Are you okay?�

�Not really.� Kagome had spent the last thirty minutes in the car with Inuyasha in uncomfortable silence and she couldn�t find it in herself to look forward to the conversation she knew was going to come. Even if it was with Sango.

�What�s wrong?� Sango�s eyes that were originally filled with concern promptly transformed into confusion when motion towards the strange young behind Kagome. Her mouth turned up into a little smile. �Who�s he?� she asked with the curiosity of a cat. She even sort of looked like one at the moment.

�I don�t know that you�ll believe me when I tell you,� she answered. Her eyes darted to Inuyasha who entertained himself with the bicycle chained to Sango�s railing.

�What. What do you mean?� Sango now looked not only worried but also anxious.

�Just sit down, and I�ll tell you.� With that she led Inuyasha inside, prompting him to sit on the couch in Sango�s living room and led Sango to her kitchen to explain. Once Kagome had successfully finished outlining the events of the last few hours, she sat down in the chair beside Sango and asked, �So, what do you think. Am I psycho or is it him.�

�I don�t know,� Sango muttered somewhat to herself, stunned. �I�ve never heard anything like this before.�

�Do you think it�s a good sign that I consider this crazy, too?�

�I couldn�t tell you that either.� Sango�s eyes were directed to the living room where Inuyasha sat on her couch watching television with wide, astonished eyes. �Assuming what you say is true, will he ever turn back?�

Kagome�s eyes widened in shock. She hadn�t ever thought of that.

�I don�t know,� her small voice answered.

�Well,� Sango started with a glint of determination in her voice. �Since the poor guy�s got no history, we�ve got to give him one.�

Kagome smiled at her friend in admiration. She just knew Sango would come through for her. Then she suddenly frowned in realization.

�How do you propose we do that?� she asked. �Pasts aren�t just something you can cook up out of nowhere.�

�Well, were going to have to for this guy. We can�t just have him walking around telling people he poofed to life because some chick wished for it. It might be the truth, but I don�t think too many people will believe him.� Sango sighed looking back out at Inuyasha thoughtfully. �First off we have to give him a last name. Preferably Japanese, since he appears to be Japanese.� Sango began rummaging around her bookcase. Finding what she was looking for, she tossed it onto the table. �That ought to help us a little.�

Kagome observed the baby name book before her and her eyebrow quirked. �What do you have this for? Any plans I don�t know about?�

�No,� Sango declared in an irritated tone. �Give it here, I�ll throw out some suggestions, and you tell me if you like them or not. They might not be surnames, but I don�t think anyone will question it. � Taking the book from Kagome�s hands she promptly found a name and read it allowed.

�How about Morio? It means forest.�

�Boring�plus he doesn�t strike me as the tree hugging type,� Kagome mused.

�Well then Miki�s out.�

�Why?�

�That one means tree.�

�Oh,� she frowned. �Is there anything else?�

�Honey, I�m just getting started.�

Thirty minutes later they still hadn�t come up with anything. Kagome threw out the possibility of Sango�s mother�s maiden name, Honda, which was shot down by Sango.

�It has the bonus of being pretty common, but I don�t want people thinking he�s related to me,� Sango informed her.

�Don�t worry, I�ll tell them he�s a relative of mine,� Kagome assured her.

�Are you sure you want to do that?�

�Why wouldn�t I?�

�Well, he is kinda cute,� Sango said in a suggestive manner.

�So?� Kagome couldn�t see where this was going and just wished Sango would get to the point.

�What if the two of you got involved? People would think it was incest,� Sango said a bit squeamishly. �You wouldn�t want that would you?�

�I seriously doubt we�ll get involved,� Kagome grumbled.

�Why�s that?� Sango looked at her with a touch of concern in her gaze. Surely Kagome wasn�t still having self-esteem issues after all this time?

�For one I can�t stand him.�

�I don�t think that�s it,� Sango chided. �You�ve only known him a few hours.�

�What can I say? It was dislike at first sight,� Kagome said to Sango in attempt at explanation. Realizing she failed she muttered, �Could we just find him a last name, please?� She wanted to get off of this topic as soon as possible.

�Okay,� Sango sighed, resigned. �How about Yoshio?�

�What does that one mean?�

�Respectful.�

Kagome snorted, and replied, �Ri-ight. I don�t think so.�

�Personally I like the name Keitaro,� Sango supplied.

�Why?�

�It means blessed. And when you think about it, the boy is a little bit blessed to come to life in the bedroom of someone like you.�

Kagome rolled her eyes at her friend�s comment. It was sweet of her to say that, but why did she have to be so darn sappy and obvious. Kagome didn�t feel terribly like a blessing at the moment.

�I think we�ll stick with that one then,� she said anyway.

�Maybe we should ask Inuyasha his opinion on this,� Sango frowned. She looked around back into the living room.

But he wasn�t there.

He wasn�t in the bathroom or, God forbid, the bedroom either.

�Where do you think he went?� Sango asked in an uneasy voice.

�I don�t know, I don�t know.� Kagome�s nerves were starting to fry from all of the anxiety she�s dealt with today. How much could a girl handle? �Let�s not overreact,� she demanded, even though it was clear she was the one dramatizing the situation. �If I were a guy who used to be a toy, where would I be?� What am I saying?

Then they saw him. His eyes looked as if they were trying to bore their way into the refrigerator in the kitchen. When he saw them, he gave a halfhearted grunt and turned to Kagome with a very serious expression on his face.

�I want food.�

Apparently Inuyasha had been so hungry he wandered around the house until he found some form of food. Sango sat him at her table and gave him a few cookies and milk. Neither lasted very long.

�I never been hungry before,� Inuyasha

Sango watched him with a bemused expression. �Well, you�ll have to get used to it now.�

�Yes, I have found this body to be somewhat puzzling,� he agreed. Looking down into his lap he continued, �There are parts are don�t remember being so� defined.�

Sango dissolved into a fit of giggles while Kagome took his hand and led him from the house, intent on discontinuing this embarrassment as soon as possible. With a heartfelt thanks and goodbye, Kagome found herself in the car facing Inuyasha.

�That was entirely uncalled for,� she fumed.

�What? I didn�t do anything,� he grumbled at her.

�Yes you did. You said something wholly inappropriate. I don�t want to hear anything like that again,� she continued to scold him. She was losing her inertia though, and all of her hostility was starting to disparate. She looked over at his broody form and heaved a sigh of displeasure at her quick temper.

�Bossy bitch,� he grunted.

Just as quickly as she began to feel guilty, she started to rage at him again. Swallowing her pride she bit out, �Look I just want you to know, that even though I don�t particularly like you, I�m not going to let you go at this alone.�

�What do you mean?� He eyed her suspiciously as if he questioned her motives.

�I feel responsible I guess. I mean, I was the one that made the stupid wish. If I hadn�t you wouldn�t be in this predicament.�

�Why�d you make that wish anyway?� he muttered in discontent.

�I was lonely, or maybe� I don�t know.� She sighed, sounding defeated. �I just know that I�ve got to fix this somehow. I�ll help you assimilate to society and you can stay in my apartment. Of course you�ll have to sleep on the couch, but it�s the best I can do.� She glanced over at her newfound companion and asked in a hopeful tone, �How does that sound?�

�Best offer I�ve had all day,� he grumbled. �Can we get some more food now?�

And with that, Kagome started the car and drove home.
