Thanks for all the reviews! As you can see, I decided to write the story! So, On with the story!
Disclaimer (which I forgot to put in the prologue): I do not own any Inuyasha characters, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi… though I would very much like to steal Sesshoumaru and Shippo… and Bankotsu… hehe
Chapter one: Sesshou Chibi
Kagome stared in shock at the naked demon boy laying on top of her. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were doing the same. Inuyasha, snapping out of his own stupor, growled and stomped towards them. As he approached he caught Sesshoumaru's attention. The demon boy stiffened and produced his own growl.
"Inuyasha, I don't think it's a very good idea to upset him right now. He's a pup, but even so if he gets into too much of a panic he could hurt Kagome." Sango warned.
Sesshoumaru's growls grew louder when he realized that Inuyasha wasn't the only intruder. He moved from his nuzzling position on Kagome to a defensive one, ready to attack at any moment. Kagome, realizing what the demon boy was about to do, quickly sat up, grabbed the discarded hoari of 'older Sesshoumaru's' and wrapped it around 'Chibi Sesshoumaru', holding him back. Sesshoumaru yelped in surprise, but immediately calmed down and snuggled back into her embrace. Turning his head back he once again licked her, this time on her cheek.
"Mate!" He returned his gaze to the rest of the group and gave them a death glare.
"Ummm, Sesshoumaru?" he looked up at her. "Um, do you remember what happened? Do you know who we are?" She motioned towards the group.
He didn't understand. His only reaction was a tilt of his head, reminding Kagome of a curious puppy. Kagome sighed disappointedly, her shoulders slumped. Noticing the change, Sesshoumaru nuzzled her cheek, trying to comfort her. He gave off a gentle growl with a comforting tone.
"Kagome, I don't think he understands words. For the first few hundred years of an Inu Youkai's life, their parents simply use their primal instincts. They're taught just like dog pups. At this age, Sesshoumaru probably doesn't know much about the spoken language, he only knows body language and Inu language."
"Inu language?
"Ever notice how Inuyasha and Koga growl and snarl at each other while fighting? That's Inu, Ookami and Inu are pretty much the same thing."
"ok, I get it, so since he doesn't really understand us, then he probably doesn't even what 'mate' means either?" As Kagome said the word 'mate' Sesshoumaru stopped nuzzling and smiled up at her.
"Mate!" For the second time that day, Sesshoumaru knocked her over in another snuggle attack.
"Actually Kagome, I think he does know what that word is." Miroku chuckled.
"Um, a little help?"
"Sorry Kagome, we're not sure how Sesshoumaru will act if we approach his mate." Sango giggled.
"What the fuck are you two talking about? Kagome is NOT that asshole's MATE!" Inuyasha growled. He angrily marched towards his shrunken half brother and companion. He lifted the surprised Sesshoumaru off of Kagome and flung him to the side, grabbed Kagome's wrist, and yanked her to her feet with a little too much force.
"OUCH Inuyasha that HURTS!" She cried out.
A loud, angry growl filled the clearing. In the spot where Sesshoumaru had landed, a large white dog was standing. Young Sesshoumaru's dog form was nowhere near as big as his older version's, but it was still bigger than Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru gave off a loud, sharp, bark. Inuyasha immediately let go of Kagome and shoved her behind him.
Not a good idea.
Sesshoumaru pounced, knocking Inuyasha over. He pinned him down with one of his paws and lowered his jaws in for the final move.
"Sesshoumaru STOP! BAD PUPPY!" Kagome shouted, waving her arms.
Confused at his 'mate's' actions, Sesshoumaru paused and turned his attention towards her. Kagome realized that he didn't understand her words, so she opened her arms towards him and gestured for him to come to her. "Come here Sesshou Chibi! Come on!" Sesshoumaru gave her a delighted woof, and then turned his attentions back towards Inuyasha, lowering his jaws once more.
Inuyasha had been able to reach his sword while Sesshoumaru was distracted. He drew it from his scabbard and raised it to drive into Sesshoumaru's snout.
"No! Inuyasha don't you dare!" Kagome screeched. Inuyasha ignored her warning.
"Kagome! Act like you're hurt! Faint or something!" Sango called.
With no time for questioning, Kagome went into action. She screamed as loud as she could, and 'fell' to the ground. Despite her horrible acting, Sesshoumaru was by her side in seconds. Kagome struggled to keep her eyes closed and her face blank as he sniffed and nudged her with his big puppy nose. Sesshoumaru whined and whimpered when Kagome didn't 'wake up'.
Inuyasha had recovered quickly and began his charge. Miroku and Sango quickly stopped him.
"Inuyasha, didn't you learn from the first time? It isn't a good idea to mess around with Sesshoumaru right now. We don't fully know what's going on yet! " Miroku whispered. Before Inuyasha could protest, a familiar scent crossed his nose.
"Keh, I don't need this bullshit." He raced off into the forest.
After Inuyasha's departure Sango cautiously approached the two. She stopped as soon as Sesshoumaru started snarling at her.
"Kagome, I think you can wake up now." She called.
Kagome opened her eyes and sat up. She came face to face with Sesshoumaru's worried gaze. She smiled and laid a hand on his snout. Sesshoumaru yipped happily and nudged her torso. She giggled, moved to stand up, only to be knocked down again by his snout. Sesshoumaru moved around her, laid down with a forepaw on either side of her, and laid his head across her lap and torso, forcing her to lean back on his chest, and closed his eyes.
"Aw, come on! Sesshoumaru! Get off me!" Her complaints fell on deaf fluffy puppy ears.
"Sorry Kagome, there wasn't enough time to tell you. Sesshoumaru won't let you move around until he's positive you're alright, it's Inu instinct." Sango tried to keep the laughter out of her words, but failed terribly.
"What? That's kind of an important thing don't ya think?"
"Like I said, there wasn't enough time to tell you,"
"Geeze! What if I have to, you know…"
"Well, if he does let you up, he'd probably follow you around, Inu instinct."
"No way! Come on Sesshoumaru, get up!" Kagome tried to push his head off of her. Annoyed with her disobedience, Sesshoumaru lifted his head, crossed one of his paws over her lap to prevent escape, and nipped her cheek and bumped her gently on the nose. Satisfied with his punishment he plopped his head back to its previous spot.
"Hey! Oomph!"
"Does this mean that kaasan's Sesshoumaru's mate now?" Shippo questioned. His voice held a worried tone.
"No Shippo, he just thinks he is." Sango answered.
"So, does this mean I can still play with kaasan?" hope filled his voice.
"Well, I think you should be really careful right now around Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Inu youkai are really possessive when it comes to their mates.
"Awwww, but that's no fair! Kagome's MY kaasan and I was here first! She's not even his mate! He can't hog her!" Shippo pouted.
"Now now Shippo, we'll get this figured out soon. Soon enough Sesshoumaru will be back to his old cold and evil self. Then you'll have Kagome all to yourself again. Until then, I suggest you sleep with Kirara and I until we get Sesshoumaru to see Kagome isn't his mate." Shippo sighed, but agreed. With a jealous look back at his kaasan and the mother stealing puppy, he went off to play with Kirara.
Sango and Miroku looked at each other with amused smiles, and walked off to start up camp.
"Hey! You guys! You can't just leave me here! Help me! HEEEEEEEEEY!" Seeing that her calls were useless, Kagome sighed in defeat and settled back for more comfort.
'This is going to be a looooong night' she thought, rubbing Sesshoumaru behind his giant puppy ear.
Well, here's the first chapter, I know it isn't very long, but I'm kind of doing this right of the top of my head at the moment. I wanted to update and give the first chapter as soon as possible so I just wrote it off the top of my head and posted it. Usually I read over it a couple times and see if I can add stuff in or change something for the better but I didn't do that this time. I'll be sure to do that next time so it won't be a next day update like this one was. Thanks for reading! ^.^
