-Kagome's POV-
I couldn't tell what force compelled me to move into the clear with the beastly formed demon lord but I couldn't look away. He was so magnificent and my heart hurt from how fast he made it beat. When I blinked it was no longer the beast Sesshomaru but the man standing in front of me with his arms reaching around me. This was a trap, one I couldn't bring herself to run away from. The feel of his fingers bringing my lips upwards to meet his made my heart jump as the anticipation grew inside of me. The lips barely brushing mine when Hojo's "ever so manly" cry of terror brought me out of my daydream. Shaking my head I stood up form where I had been seated for who knows how long. Walking over I saw the large white dog collapse inside the slightly too small cage, a tranquilizer dart in its hip. Miss Lilly was standing beside the cage holding her tranque gun and shaking her head.
"Well, looks like I might have been wrong about this one. We may have to put him down." she said putting the gun aside.
"Wait!" I said, drawing everyone's attention.
"Yes, Miss Higurashi?" Miss Lilly asked, giving me a raised eyebrow.
"He might just be apprehensive about new people being around him. I mean, think about it. There's some strange man you've never seen before getting right up in your face while you are trapped behind bars. Anyone, even a human, would react with some kind of violence." I said gesturing at the dog. "He might also not be used to being in such cramped quarters. That cage is a little small for him."
Miss Lilly looked at me for a few seconds before she sighed, "OK, I see your point. But! When he wakes up he's your responsibility. If anything bad happens its your head."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Miss Lilly walked away and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Patting the still freaked out Hojo on the shoulder I dropped down beside the cage. Reaching past the bars I gently pulled the dart from the large animal's hip. Withdrawing my hand I smiled at the sleeping dog. His face was so relaxed it was hard to see him as dangerous or like a wild beast that would try and attack you soon as look at you.
"Hojo, help me get him into that fenced area over there?" I asked trying to sound less tired with him than I actually was. Dealing with him the past couple of months made me miss being attacked by demons at every turn.
"Huh? Oh! Sure!" Hojo said popping to his feet.
I smiled but internally I was rolling my eyes. Sometimes I really just wanted to tell him to leave me alone but I knew that wasn't exactly my best course if I still wanted to be friends with him. Shaking my head I grabbed one side of the cage while he grabbed the other and together we made our way to the fenced area. Thankfully the area was empty at the moment; I wasn't too sure how this guy would react around other dogs.
Once we got the cage into the area Hojo took off like a bat out of hell. It took me a minute to figure out why and when I did I had to stop myself from gasping. A pair of large liquid honey brown eyes were glaring at me from within the cage. Then I realize I would be pissed if I were still in a cage too small for me. I tried to move towards the lock but his demon like growl stopped me in my tracks. Then I realized hat he wanted respect from me and I felt that I owed him some for the way the others treated him.
"May I come near you and unlock your cage?" I asked pointing at the lock and bowing my head a little.
He sat there for a moment before nodding slowly. I smiled and reached around to unlock the door. As soon as I stepped backwards the large dog stepped out of the cage. He all but tackled me to the ground and I felt his nose pressing against my throat. Reaching up I automatically tried to pet him but he growled at me and I froze. My hand fell to the ground as he continued sniffing my neck. Closing my eyes I lay there silently, waiting. Several seconds later I felt a large, wet nose pressing into my hand. I tried to stay as still as possible but that plan was thrown out the window when I felt a long, wet tongue slide across my hand. My eyes flew open and a giggle escaped me as the dog continued licking my hand. It took me a few seconds to reuse why he was licking me and when I did I could have smacked myself. This guy was hungry! He was smelling the cheeseburger I'd had for lunch. Laughing I tried to pull my hand away but received a growl for the trouble.
"Easy, buddy. I was just going to go get you some food, OK?" I said while the dog just looked at me.
He stepped off of me after a few seconds and sat down, clearly waiting. Getting up I smiled softly at him. As I walked away to get food and water for the dog I realized something; I still needed to give him a name.
