WARNING! UN-BETA-ED!

Inuyasha glared at the boy leaning against the tree at the Higurashi family shrine. He'd seen him once before, at Kagome's school festival thing in that 'play', or whatever it was called. He snorted. The boy wasn't strong, or impressive in anyway. At least, not so much that he'd remember his name.

The boy straightened and looked his way, smiling broadly. "Oh hello! You're one of Kagome's friends, aren't you? Funny clothes." he piped up, and the hanyou snarled.

"What's so funny about 'em?!" He glared at the black clad boy.

"Well, the hat doesn't really match all that red. . . you look like you popped out of the feudal era or something!"

Inuyasha sweatdropped, ears twitching under the dumb hat Kagome forced him to wear while he was in this time. She had told him never to speak of his time while he was here too. Nearly impossible, what with her annoying grandfather and curious little brother.

It was then he noticed the cones in the other boys hands, each brown cone was topped with a ball of pink sporting blue and green speckles. He frowned. It was melting.

"What's that?!"

The boy looked down. "I brought some ice cream for Kagome. . . I figured, when all other remedies fail, ice cream always makes me feel better." He shrugged smiling.

"Well, she isn't here!" Inuyasha defended, wary of this boy. Could he be the reason she kept coming back?

"Oh," The boy looked crestfallen, if only for a moment. "Well then, I guess you get the other one."

Inuyasha stared dumbly at the now proffered cone, blinking in confusion. What the hell was he supposed to do with this ice cream stuff.

The boys hand touched his, and the hanyou jerked. It was soft, smooth, warm. Nice, almost. He glanced up at the other boy's innocent face, which was smiling broadly now.

"What's your name?"

"Hojo." the other smiled.

He accepted the cone with a lopsided grin, as strawberry ice cream dribbled down his hand. "Inuyasha."
