Hello readers! Thanks for the reviews! So, lately I've been on this creative kick and the ideas are coming easily, so I figure I better get to writing and use it while it lasts ^.^

On with the story!

Chapter two: Sesshoumaru's Pup

The sun was starting to set, Sango and Miroku had built a fire and were in the process of boiling water for dinner. Shippo and Kirara were still playing a little ways away. Kagome was still trapped between Sesshoumaru's paws. She watched Shippo and Kirara chase each other around.

"Kagome? How do you prepare this food?" Sango held up a box she had pulled from Kagome's bag.

"Ummmm, Sango that isn't food." Sango looked at the box curiously.

"Really? But it has a picture of a fish on it doesn't it?"

"Well, it is food, but it's cat food, I brought it from my time for Kirara…"

"Oh, so we can't eat it?"

"No. Why don't I make dinner, it'd be easier than explaining how to make everything."

"Kagome, I don't think Sesshoumaru's going to let you get up."

"Well he has to, I can't sit here all night like this, besides, I have to eat, and I'm sure he's hungry too."

Kagome tapped on Sesshoumaru's nose. "Sesshoumaru?" the dog opened is eye and stared at her lazily. "You have to let me up, we need to eat. You're hungry aren't you? Do you want food?" Kagome did the motions of putting something in her mouth and chewing. "Food?" Sesshoumaru let out a lazy woof, stood up, and loped off into the forest. "Hey! Where're you going? Sesshou Chibi!" he didn't even turn back and kept on going.

"Don't worry Kagome, he'll be back eventually." Sango assured. Kagome sighed and turned towards the others.

"Alright, I guess I'll get started." She paused "but first, I have to go to the bathroom" that said, she rushed off the opposite way of Sesshoumaru. Sango giggled at her friend. Miroku had a cheery smile on his face.

Once Kagome returned, she went through her bag and pulled out the ramen.

"Ok, let's get started."

THUD

Startled, Kagome turned around to see what was going on. Sesshoumaru was back, and he brought a full grown buck with him. Kagome's eyes bulged at the sight. There it was, a big dead buck, and there he was, a giant puppy sitting back on his haunches, his tail wagging happily, panting like a hyper pup.

"I believe Sesshoumaru wants to provide dinner tonight." Miroku commented.

While they were skinning and preparing the deer, Sesshoumaru watched them closely. Any time Sango or Miroku go too close to Kagome, he'd give them a warning growl. That was enough to get them to keep their distance. Once dinner was ready Kagome looked around for Shippo and Kirara. When she couldn't see them she began to worry.

"Where's Shippo and Kirara?"

"Shippo's a little upset with the whole Sesshoumaru mate thing, he probably just wants to be alone for a little bit. Don't worry, Kirara's with him, they'll be fine." Kagome, still worried, nodded and sat down to eat her meal. She picked up two plates and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Here Sesshoumaru, eat." She held out the plate towards him. Sesshoumaru transformed into his human form and happily sat down beside her eating his meal. Once they were done, he transformed back to his dog form. He used a fore paw to drag a startled Kagome backwards away from the fire, and then resumed his previous napping position.

"Aw come on! I thought puppies were supposed to be hyper and active, not lazy!" Kagome complained.

"They usually are Kagome, but seeing as he thinks you are his mate, those instincts overpower the others. An Inu youkai is very protective of their mate. When their mate is hurt, they usually don't let them move about for at least a day, you're lucky he even let you prepare dinner." Sango held back her laughs.

"Ugh!" Kagome gave up. Seeing as she wasn't going anywhere for the rest of the night, she decided to just go to sleep.

~hours later with Shippo~

Kirara tried hard to distract Shippo from his worries, and for that he was grateful, but Shippo missed his mama. It was now dark as he reluctantly made his way back to camp and he was very tired. He didn't want to sleep with Sango and Kirara; he wanted to sleep with his mama! It wasn't fair, big Sesshoumaru didn't even like his mama, and now little Sesshoumaru was stealing her away! Shippo kicked a stray rock in his path in frustration.

"I'm not gonna let him take my mama away, I was here first!" With a determined look, Shippo entered the camp and marched right up to the sleeping Sesshoumaru and his dozing mama. He quietly and cautiously climbed over Sesshoumaru's paw and burrowed his way into Kagome's arms. With a contented sigh, Shippo closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

As the morning rays began to shine Sesshoumaru slowly awoke. He raised his massive puppy head and looked down at his mate. It was then that he noticed a small figure in his mates arms. Lowering his head for a better look, he noticed the figure was breathing. Sesshoumaru did not recall seeing this one yesterday among the other intruders. He nudged it with his nose, taking in his scent. His actions caused Kagome to awaken. She opened her eyes and looked down into her arms.

"Shippo!" At the sound of his name, the kitsune pup drowsily opened his emerald green eyes. The first thing he noticed was his mama's worried gaze, the second was the curious amber gaze of Sesshoumaru. Shippo yelped and buried himself deeper into Kagome's arms. Sesshoumaru suddenly transformed into his small humanoid form causing the surprised Kagome to fall back on the ground. The now humanoid Sesshoumaru was at Kagome's side, gazing curiously at the terrified Shippo. Once again he leaned in and took in Shippo's scent. He had his scent, just like his mate. Once satisfied that he had his answer he picked Shippo up by the scruff of his neck and held him up with a smile.

"PUP!" he chirped. He handed him back to Kagome. Shippo, dazed, did nothing. Kagome was too shocked to say anything.

Kagome was brought out of her stupor by the sound of Sango and Miroku's laugh.

"Apparently, Sesshoumaru doesn't know where babies come from" Miroku joked.

"Well, Shippo, I don't think Sesshoumaru will be opposed to you playing with Kagome." Sango added.

"R-realy?" Shippo looked at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru gave him a childish grin.

"Pup!" He turned to Kagome who had managed to sit up "Mate!" Then, he kissed her.

Little Sesshoumaru… Kissed Kagome… on the lips…

Kagome was too shocked to do anything.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?"

And Inuyasha saw it all…

'Shit, this isn't going to end well'

Ok I know I said it'd be longer and it wouldn't be off the top of my head, but hey, when you've got ideas, you get them down as fast as you can before they disappear. So, I hope you can forgive me for not making it very long, especially since I updated twice in one day ^.^ Hope you enjoyed
