Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha, so no sue! :p

Summary: A lot of people believe we have Guardian Angels, but what are they like? Are they just spirits that protect us, no emotion or love involved? Or is there a bigger scheme behind our Guardians? Do they have feelings just as strong as us? And are we the only ones they protect?

Guardian Angel; Chapter 1

He yawned softly, floating through the air, watching over the little girl. She looked half as old as him, though he was near thousands of years old. It had been five years now since he had been assigned to her. She had been a sweet thing since birth and her mind had grown quickly, resulting in the way he looked now.

He looked only ten years old, with cute white dog ears and long silver hair. It was unusual; for a human. Though he was no human, he was this little girl's Guardian Angel, and would be, until her death and he went back to heaven. The little girl skipped through her house, humming a tune she made herself and looking for her fat kitten, Buyo.

"Kagome! Darling, take Buyo outside will you? He's scratching at the back door." The little girl's mother called out. "Okay, mama!" Kagome responded sweetly and ran to the back door to let out her beloved pet. The girl picked up the kitten and had to stand on tiptoes to reach the door handle, though she didn't actually reach it. He opened it for her, but she could not see him, so it made no difference.

It was this day that all Guardian Angels dreaded. The day the child's imaginary friend showed up. The children didn't know that it was actually their Guardian Angel, but it was sometimes a pain for the children to see them. It was that moment that Kagome saw her Guardian, floating near her back door while she played with her kitten.

"Hello, who are you?" She asked softly, picking up Buyo and walking towards the strange boy. He seemed startled for a moment and furrowed his brow, before realizing what had happened. "Oh! I get it, yeah. My name is Inu-Yasha, and you, you're Kagome, right?" The little girl nodded, smiling. "How do you know me?" She asked, putting the kitten down, so it wouldn't scratch her.

Inu-Yasha stumbled for an answer, frowning. "Well, let's just say, I'm a friend. Alright? I'm here to play with you and, um... Keep you safe?" He offered, biting his lip. Kagome nodded and motioned to the small play place across the street. "Do you wanna go play with me, in the park? There are slides and swings and a lot of stuff! We'll have fun!" Inu-Yasha grumbled but nodded and plastered on a smile. "Sure, Kagome. Ask your mom though, she wouldn't want you to disappear would she?" Kagome's eyes widened and she shook her head.

"Go tell her then, Kagome." Inu-Yasha said and put his feet upon the ground. Kagome ran back into the house and spoke with her mother about the little boy with dog ears. "Mama, he's real!!! I promise! I'll even take you out there to see him!" Kagome grabbed her other's hand and brought her outside, pointing to the little boy in the swing across the street. To her mother the swing was simply swinging in the breeze. "Oh, I know, Kagome. You go play with him now. Have fun and be safe!"

Kagome grinned. "Don't worry mama, Inu-Yasha will protect me!"

10 Years Later ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome yawned as she walked to school, her pack slung over her shoulder and her uniform wrinkled. She spotted her friends up a head. "Yuka! Eri! Ayumi! Hey you guys!" The girls all smiled and waved back at her. "Hey Kagome! Hurry up, otherwise you'll miss Hojo!!!" Kagome grimaced when the girls mentioned that and slowed down her pace. "This is when I wish Inu-Yasha was still here to protect me." She mumbled under her breath, not knowing that her Guardian Angel was actually right beside her. Inu-Yasha laughed to himself.

"I wish you could protect me Kagome, from that darned Kikyo." He growled as he floated alongside her and spotted Hojo. Kikyo, she was a Guardian Angel as well, though not of someone as smart as Kagome. Her charge was the boy, that Hojo boy. "Why hello Inu-Yasha! What are you up to today?" Kikyo asked, floating beside Hojo. Inu-Yasha ignored her, but still couldn't help but snigger.

Hojo had the mind of a ten year old love struck boy and so, Kikyo was only as old as Hojo's mind. A least Inu-Yasha looked seventeen. "Seems Hojo still hasn't got that Kagome doesn't like him, eh?" Kikyo asked Inu-Yasha trying to start a conversation. He kept the answers short and simple. "No." He yawned and looked to who else was approaching, Kagome's friends; Yuka, Eri and Ayumi. That also meant-

"Inu-Yasha! What's up?" A little child's voice called out. It was Shippou, Yuka's guardian. Inu-Yasha still said nothing, rubbing his forehead. "I'm surrounded by idiots." He grumbled and turned his back upon the other two guardians. "Come on my dear friend, don't be in such a bad mood!" Another voice spoke.

Inu-Yasha turned around, sighing, seeing the 'monk' of an 'angel' floating near his own charge, Eri. Once again another voice turned up and Sango appeared, hitting Miroku upon the head. She cast a weary glance at Ayumi and then spoke her mind. "You pervert! I saw you before, looking up Ayumi's skirt!! If you ever do that again, I'm going to KILL you!!!"

Inu-Yasha laughed through his nose, pointing a clawed finger at Miroku. Kikyo groaned then. "You are an idiot Inu-Yasha, maybe your charge is smarter than Hojo, but you are just as old as he is." Inu-Yasha ignored the comment, pretending Miroku was still funny and choking on his laughter now.

Kagome yawned, stretching and then turned towards the school. She eyed the open doors and smiled to herself. "Oh, no!! I forgot, I'll see you later guys!!!" She called out, sprinting towards the door. Inu-Yasha jumped as Kagome ran away and suddenly he was pulled along with her. He smiled, flashing a peace sign at the other guardians. "See you, suckers!!!" He chuckled to himself, floating through one of the hockey players and gagging. He snorted, even if he was an angel, that didn't mean he couldn't smell those humans.

Kagome stopped running once she was out of sight and caught her breath just as she reached her locker. She spun the lock quickly, humming to herself, happy she was away from Hojo. Kagome jumped and turned around, feeling someone tap her on the shoulder, but no one was behind her.

"Weird... Whatever." She murmured, grabbing her things for the morning classes and walking towards her homeroom. Inu-Yasha gaped after her. 'I had said I was grateful to her for taking me away from those idiots and then I tapped her... She couldn't have felt it, could she?' He scurried after her, sighing. His charge was indeed weird, as if he didn't have enough problems with the Guardians he lived with.

Sesshomaru, his older 'brother', was the Guardian of her grandfather. Even Sesshomaru thought the old man was a pain. It wasn't always Sesshomaru though that got on Inu-Yasha's own nerves. It was Kouga, Sota's guardian, and a crazy one at that. He asked all the time if he could switch charges with Inu-Yasha, saying he liked the sister better than the 'runt' of the family.

It bothered Inu-Yasha for some reason when Kouga would say that, but he'd never admit to it. He always laughed because, even if Kouga acted mature, he looked like a seven year old. He acted like a kid most of the time, but there were times when Sota was asleep that Kouga could change back to his original form. Inu-Yasha sighed, running his hands through his hair.

This stupid assignment. For each sin committed in your past life, you were made a Guardian to a different person. Inu-Yasha was so close, if he lived through Kagome's life, he would be reborn. 'About damn time too.' He groaned in his mind, watching as people passed Kagome by, some of them waving, some of them ignoring her and she them.

'A cliché world you live in Kagome. Groups and cliques are everywhere. Stupid girl, are you even listening to me?!' He thought glaring at her back. He realized then that he was still a Guardian and he laughed softly, almost evilly. Kagome smiled then, jumping up and running towards the window. Inu-Yasha frowned curious as to what was so-a kitten.

"Having a nice time Inu-Yasha? Living in peace now-a-days?" The voice caused Inu-Yasha to nearly jump out of his skin and send shivers down his spine. He turned around slowly, as did Kagome and they both gaped. "It's YOU!!!" They shouted in unison.
