A/N: this came to me in a flash of inspiration. Enjoy.
Shigure sat at the low table idly musing. Musing about what we don't know though it could of included, book plots, high school girls and Akito. The depths of his musings were the sort of stuff that would get M rated were they to be written. Speaking of Akito, Hatori had rung to inform him that the head of the family wished for his presence and wished for it immediately. That had been half an hour ago. Let her have Kureno, she only uses me when she's bored of him the inu thought. He relaxed to take in the atmosphere of the house. Tohru was cooking; Kyo was out which meat things would be quieter than normal if it wasn't for the fact Yuki had brought home the vice-president of the Student Council who was almost as loud as Aaya. The dog acknowledged all these facts before sinking into a state that almost could be called meditation.

Akito was in a bad mood. A very bad mood. Something to do with a certain dog not turning up. She was on the brink of one of her temper tantrums when Hatori came in. "Temper tantrums won't make him come you know." "He is the dog! He is supposed to be loyal!" "There are other ways of getting him to come." "Such as?" Hatori simply produced a dog collar... and lead, why he even had the items, let alone on him was beyond her. She considered the option for a second then her face broke into a malevolent grin. "Get your car keys Hatori, I'm going to Shigure's house.

Akito and Hatori hid in the bushes outside Shigure's house. For some reason Ayame had come along and was sniggering quietly next to them. "Baka hebi. Shut up."
Shigure felt an ominous presence lurking somewhere "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." "Shigure-san!" "Yes my little flower" "Oh nothing just that the food's ready." That ominous presence was back again. Then he realised how quiet it was. "Shigure I thought I asked you to come and see me." A silken voice murmured in his ear. "Because you do know how I like to see you." A soft click broke through the following silence. Everyone was staring at something round his neck, something obviously very amusing judging by the fact Kyo was struggling to restrain his laughter. There was a dog collar round his neck. A red leather dog collar. "Hatori suggested this might help persuade you to keep your appointments." This was too much for Kyo who burst out laughing even Yuki was sniggering. "Heel, Shigure, heel", the goddess said lazily, almost seductively tugging on the matching dog leash that he only just realised was there.

Shigure woke the next morning drowsily. Akito was still asleep by him. He was still wearing the collar, though the lead had been discarded. He was wearing nothing else apart from a pair of dog ears that Aaya had regaled upon him last night along with a tail that was still stuck to the back of his kimono. He groaned when he remembered that Hatori had taken a photo of him in the full rig being led to Hatori's car by a triumphant Akito. Mental note to self: Don't annoy Haa-san ever again He then got up, dressed, removed the dog ears, tail and collar, and then left. "There will be payback for this Akito-san, mark my words."
I apologise for any disturbing images that may have come into your head whilst reading this. If anyone can draw Shigure dressed as a dog can they please scan it and upload it, then send me the link. This idea came into my head suddenly and I weirdly wrote it up lest have it plague me forever.
Ayame: This most kind being whom which bestowed upon the magnificence that is this fanfic kindly wishes that the excellencies that have doth read it would enlighten her upon their feelings toward it.
