Summary: It was too bad Hiei didn't realize it was just Buyo's way of welcoming him into the family.
One day, Hiei swore, he was going to get rid of that damn cat. It mocked him with its very existence, and if it wasn't for Kagome's blatant adoration of the lazy thing, he wouldn't have tolerated it at all.
Ever since he became a permanent fixture in the miko's life, that damned cat had made it his goal to make sure Hiei would be as uncomfortable as possible. Buyo was always there whenever he stepped out of her room, waiting to trip him. Kagome would just laugh at his glare and narrowed carmine eyes, claiming, "Well, if you wouldn't kick him out at night, he wouldn't be so annoyed!"
To which he would always reply, "As if a cat could replace me in your bed."
It never got old watching her blush after those words. Until she would pick up that lethargic excuse for a feline and cuddle him close as she went to get breakfast. He swore that that cat gloated at him for getting to be pressed so intimately against her whenever he so desired. And without having to work for it.
As if that wasn't enough, whenever he would find a rare moment to relax with his woman, that human pet would find a desire to be active and playful. Toward him. Only Kagome's presence kept him from drawing his katana when his claws would snag on his clothes or his skin. He only did it because he knew Kagome would protect him.
It was getting to the point that Hiei knew he would have to get rid of the competition because the cat's power over her was ridiculous. He even wondered how Inuyasha managed to put up with the infernal furball.
But this... This was the final straw. Waking up to Kagome's giggles toward him was one thing, but discovering it was because that feline managed to get inside their room and curled up on his chest was an entirely different thing. The cat had to go.
Hiei was a resourceful demon, he was sure he could make it seem like the idiotic thing had run off or just plain "went missing."
Kagome gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "I'm so glad you get along so well with Buyo. All Inuyasha did was torment the poor guy." She rolled over and got out of bed before he could say something he would regret.
All he knew was that it ruined all his plans. To retaliate would lower him to the status of that mutt, and he knew he was so much better than him. After all, everyone -- including that damn cat -- knew that only dogs got into fights with cats.
