AN: I will ask the same thing of this story as I do my other. To All Guest reviewers please leave a name of some kind.
I agree that Sesshomaru's pups are adorable beyond belief, but what I am doing is necessary.
This is after Sesshomaru got his arm back and has Bakusaiga… yes Kikyou is still around… it seems we can never get rid of her. Naraku is still around and I am not saying all that Kagome has learned… You will just have to read to find out… Though she is still has a lot to learn. I am also using elements of the anime where Kagome can see things that others cannot and with her power growth it makes her life more interesting. Shhh she doesn't want anyone to know. You will learn more as the story progresses…

Chapter 4
Last Time…
His beast knew what they were communicating. Even as weak as they were, they smelled something sweet and pure, something full of love and warmth. He was actually surprised that they were calling for the miko.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome exclaimed, in a whisper, but he could detect the fear in her quivering voice, as he noticed a single tear escape her eyes.
Now…
Sesshomaru was by her side in an instant. The pups were wriggling, trying to get to the miko upon feeling her. Their weak movements and whimpers was the most he had heard since their births.
Yoshi walked carefully towards the futon to see the pups wiggling and whimpering. "That is the most they have moved since the attack." Yoshi whispered, he knew it was dangerous to be male and this close to the pups, he was counting on his Lord's more rational side, to not attack him.
"Sesshomaru. I think I know what's wrong with them." Kagome whispered, as her hand hovered over one of the pups. She could not only see, but feel there pain. "I need you to confirm what I see."
"Speak." Sesshomaru growled, his beast was at the service, it needed to see as much as he, himself did.
"You have the ability to see the minions of the underworld, correct? Rin told me." She explained quickly.
"Hn." Was his none committal reply.
"Please." Kagome begged.
Without a word Sesshomaru pulled his sword and waited for the miko.
"Use the blade to look at the pups and tell me was you see." Kagome said sadly.
Raising his sword to eye level, he looked at his pups. He wasn't sure what the miko wanted him to see. Though in truth he was expecting to see the pallbearers of the dead, as usual when he pulled the Tenseiga, but he saw nothing.
"This One sees nothing Miko." Sesshomaru was losing his patients. She was playing games with his pups lives.
She knew he was having trouble seeing what he needed to see. "Alright, use your sword to look at my soul. I know that you can see it. I know that the sword allows you to not only see the pallbearers, but the soul of the person. Tell me what you see, when you look at me, then look at your pups the same way."
Yoshi stood there watching this young miko, not only talk to Sesshomaru so familiarly, but was telling him what to do and what was even more astounding was is, that his Lord was actually doing what she said.
Sesshomaru turned his blade towards the miko, calming himself in order to look closer at what she was hinting at. Then he saw her blinding soul, so large, so bright that he had to actually squint at the brightness, turning his blade back to his pups, he saw that their souls were so small and fading even as he looked upon them.
"Their souls are diminishing. Why and how is it that you a ningen can see?" Sesshomaru demanded.
"Actually, I have you to thank for that, I will explain later, for now can you try to feed your pups some of your youki. I need to see what happens." She said as she picked up the smallest, as it was in more danger than the others and gently handed it to Sesshomaru. As he took the pup, Kagome picked up the next in line in need of critical care.
Her eyes widened as the pups actually started to wiggle in her hold, nudging at her chest. "Um… I'm sorry little one, but there's nothing there to feed you with." Both Sesshomaru and Yoshi looked towards miko and the pup she held. She was right the little pup was actually looking for nourishment from her. It was the first positive sign that they had in days.
"Miko?"
"As you saw, something is devouring their souls. If I can't stop it, they'll all die. I can their souls weakening."
"How is it you know this?" Yoshi asked stunned, his eyes wide.
"A piece of my own soul was ripped from me a few years ago." Yoshi had never heard of an individual actually able to live without their complete soul. He had lots of questions for this miko.
"The undead miko." Sesshomaru stated, blandly, not seeing the relevance. He gently set his pup back on the futon and took the pup the miko was holding, hearing it whimper at the loss of the miko's touch. She picked up another pup and started stroking its fur gently.
"Yes. When you defeated Magatsuhi, not only did you gain your arm back, but I gained the full use of my powers, that he had sealed prior to my birth. Not many know this." The pup in her arms again started nudging at her chest.
"Hn. The Jewel."
"Came from within me. I am the one true guardian. It was how Magatsuhi was able to seal my powers. Shh little one." She spoke the last to the pup. "There is nothing there. I am so sorry." The other pups had wiggled and wormed their way towards the miko, whimpering and whining.
"Can anything be done, to save this One's pups." He set the pup in his hands and again took the one the miko had, while she picked up the next pup.
Kagome sat and thought for awhile, while she and Sesshomaru tended to each pup in turn and each one nudged at her chest looking for food, even though she had nothing to offer them.
"This was caused by the dark arts. If I try to purify the taint I risk killing them. I need to find a way to purify the taint without killing them. But they need food and I can't feed them." It seemed the blush that had adorned her face with each pups got even redder.
The pups had now completely surrounded the little miko, whimpering and whining. Only Sesshomaru and Yoshi understood what the pups were saying.
"Yoshi, send Jaken to Jinenji, inform him what is needed. Tell him this One expects his return before night fall."
"Yes, Mi'lord." Yoshi said as he scrambled out the door, leaving his Lord and the strange Miko with the ailing pups.

"Bout time you woke up, you lazy ass monk." InuYasha growled.
"What happened?" Miroku asked, feeling like he had been hit by a oni's club.
"Lay still." A frustrated Sango ordered. "InuYasha, stop. He just woke up. He still needs time to recover."
"Keh, bunch of lazy asses. Sesshomaru has Kagome." His growling grew louder.
"I don't think he is going to hurt her." Sango argued. She had been arguing with the hanyou since he woke up last night.
"You don't know that, Sango. The Bastard could have killed her just to get to me. We need the Wench to find the damn Shards. She is the one that broke it. She needs to fix it, before she even thinks of going off with anyone, especially that damn Bastard." InuYasha practically yelled.
"Is that all you care about? Those damn Shards. What about our well being? Miroku still needs time to heal. You, yourself just healed, from a hole in your stomach."
"Keh."
"It would be wise, to remain here, until ye all healed." Keade put in, as she walked into the hut, seeing a disgruntled hanyou. "It is good to see ye are awake, monk."
"Thank you, Lady Keade. Though I ache all over."
"Hm. I shall make ye a tea to help. Just lie back. Ye all should be ready to travel, in a day or two. It is best if ye all rest until then."
"WHAT!" InuYasha exploded. "We can't wait that long. Naraku might get more Shards and we need to get that wench back. She had no right to just take off like that, without first asking me."
"InuYasha, how many times do I have to tell you. She went to help. We weren't the only ones to get attacked."
"Sango~dearest, who else got attacked." Miroku asked, needing answers and knowing Kagome was with the Western Lord was worrying all on its own.
"From what we learned, Sesshomaru's keep was attacked first. We don't know the full details, but he left Rin here, the same day we were attacked Ginta and Hakkaku showed up, Kouga was also attacked. There is a chance he could lose his legs. They had asked for Kagome's help."
"Keh. If they really needed help, they could have asked for Kikyou. She's more trained. Kagome don't know shit. She can't even fire an arrow right. Let alone help anyone."
"One more word out of you, InuYasha and I swear, I will hit you with Hiraikotsu, until you are buried in a hole." Sango threatened, her eyes blazing with her anger. "I told you, it was Kagome that killed the youkai that attacked us. I was hurt, Miroku was out and so were you."
"Keh. Don't come crying to me, if something happens to the wench."

"Show me, Sesshomaru's pups." A deep oily male voice demanded.
He watched as the creature stepped forward, an image appearing before them. No sound could be heard, but the sight enraged him. There sitting in the midst of the mutts offspring sat a girl, her long raven hair tumbled down her back. They watched as the pups wiggled closer to the girl.
"What is she doing there?" The male asked, anger evident in his voice.
"Worry not, the simpleton can do nothing. She is a far to weak. Besides, they will all be dead, before she can figure it out and then the West will be easily won." Spoke an arrogant feminine voice. She was confident that no one could even detect what she had done.
"What of the mutt?"
"Easily dealt with. The fool does everything, I request."
"At what price?" The male demanded.
"Certain favors, as you well know."
"Convince the mutt to kill the girl or kill her yourself or bring her to me and get me her damn shards."
"As you wish."
"Show me the ookami." The images shown were of Kouga and his two followers. His followers were tending to the fool and talking to him. "So the fool is still alive. Pity."
"Show me the hanyou." The images shifted and swirled, before settling. Within the images, it showed a white haired hanyou, sitting in a tree. The male smirked. "Pathetic retch."
"Now my Pet, show me the construct." Again the images swirled until the once again settled onto an image of a raven haired male. He too was sitting, but instead of a tree he was sitting in a dark room in an open doorway, holding a broken Jewel, that glowed darkly. "I want you to get me that Jewel."
"Would it not be better to have the girl get the Jewel."
"You fool. If she gets her hands on the complete Jewel, she will make her wish and in the off chance that she does not, the Jewel will be too purified, with most of the taint already compromised, thanks to that mutt. He is now paying the price for his interference." The male growled out. The wench was pissing him off. Later, he would have to fuck one of his other pets. He would fuck this bitch, but her body was incomplete, but for now she has her uses and when her usefulness is done he will dispose of her, once and for all, but for now, she needed to know her place.
-L- more like citrus...
"Now get over here and make yourself useful."
Without saying a word, the female approached the male. He mattered not, that they had an audience. If anything it added to his pleasure. While she was busy he could be thinking of the living miko that she resembled, now he could fuck that little piece after he had tainted her enough to get past her natural barriers.
He allowed the female to kneel before, to undo his hakama. "Put this on your lips." He said as he handed her a small jar, opening the jar, the female looked within noticing a salve. She applied it as ordered, once done she handed the jar back.
She hate doing this, with his other servants within the room, but she had no choice. He had already showed her what he could do if she didn't comply to all of his wishes. He would take her life without a second thought and she could hide nowhere, where he couldn't find her. He has proven that as well as he enjoys showing her how easy it is for him.
So she did as ordered. She released the turgid flesh of his hardened member from his hakama, taking it gently, but firmly within her cool hands.
He groaned in pleasure, her cool hands always seemed to excite him more. He watched as the wretched female lowered her mouth to him, licking him with her cold tongue, before she engulfed him within the dry confines of her mouth. Hence the reason for the salve, it would at least keep her lips moist enough to allow him to pass her otherwise dry lips. Another thing he enjoyed was that she had no gag reflex and she didn't feel pain, so he could go as deep and hard as he wished, he didn't care if he damaged her, he didn't have to worry about having to pleasure her. She didn't matter in any case, as long as he was pleased enough to allow her to live another day.
Grabbing the wenches hair tightly in his rough callused hand. "Suck hard, bitch." He growled, as he forced her to take more of him within the only hole he could fuck. She never did move fast enough for him and he had to resort to doing it himself, by thrusting up into her as she was forced to take more of him, until her nose was buried within the dark curls surrounding his member.
He thought of the living miko and how she would feel doing the same thing as this wench. Her small mouth stretched over his turgid flesh as he pumped within her moist cavern or better yet as he had her submitting to his to his whim as he pounded into her small fragile body. The joys she would give him.
By now he was pumping ruthlessly into the dry mouth. He was close to his release. Yes, the pain and pleasure he would force unto the little onna.
Finally meeting his end, he grunted his release. He didn't care that the wench couldn't pass what he spilled within her. He knew that it would be absorbed within the clay that made up her body, adding to her stench of grave soil, ashes and burnt bones.
Pulling from her mouth, but not yet releasing her hair he drew her closer to his face. His ominous red eyes staring into her dull brown eyes.
"Bring the miko to me. I want her alive." He ordered as he tossed Kikyou to the floor, done with her for now, that and he could handle much more of her disgusting scent.

"Sesshomaru, do you have any scrolls or tomes on dark spells or creatures that could devour souls?" Kagome asked as the pups now laid all over her, trying to get to her breasts, whining and whimpering for her to feed them.
"This One will have Nao, look into it."
"I will need to meditate as well. I may find some answers."
"Hn." Sesshomaru hummed, amused at finally seeing his pups active, though he didn't care for whom they were active for, but if she could save even one of his pups he would be grateful, and his respect for the onna would rise with every pup saved. "It would appear Miko, that this One's pups will not allow you to leave."
"I know, but I have nothing that will help them. I have never given birth." Kagome didn't know how much redder her face could get. The pups kept nudging the under sides of both of her breasts and Sesshomaru was standing there watching as her breasts bounced a little with each nudge.
Until Next Time…
sorry about any and all cliffies, past, present and future, but at least it makes you come back for more :) :) :)
To a Guest Reviewer: I must say Wow! what a review… I understand about your pet-peeves as I have many myself. Anyone writing Sesshomaru/Rin stories to me is writing about a Father and his daughter and that is just eww… Rin's charm has been her cuteness… I can't see Sesshomaru mating with someone as weak or simple. You're right about instinct within the animal kingdom. They generally look for strong mates. Traits that they can pass onto their young.
You will never see me say that Kagome is Kikyou's reincarnation… only what others think… only because Keade said she was.
As far as Shippo goes in Betray he is basically a 15 year old and will not be coddled any longer… in Pups Kagome will have an eyes opened to reality…
I hate a weak Kagome… so she will learn one way or another…
I will be describing each pup soon, of the ones that survive that is… probably in the next chapter… it is a bit of a challenge, but it has actually gotten my muse back on track writing… for that I am forever grateful :) :) :)
I don't think I will ever really allow my Kagome in any story to swear… It just doesn't feel right to have a cussing Kagome… that is InuYasha's responsibility...
