It is short but it's the best thing that's happened to this story in a long time, haha, hope you all enjoy it and that it isn't too terrible. And hopefully there is more to come. Oh and for your information, the last "chapter" is not going to be considered a chapter. Just think of that as a taste of what I did to appease your appetites. Lol.

Happy reading!

Demonic Changes

Chapter 7

Kagome could not believe her good fortune. She stared mutely, only dimly aware that she was in fact staring at a Lord but she couldn't help herself, for who wouldn't in her case?

She was seeing what few, probably alive, rarely got to see.

She was seeing Sesshomaru, Lord Saigoku, clean his person. Not as a dog, mind you (Kagome would probably be dead if that were to ever happen in her presence, no self control over her laughter), but he was neatly picking himself of any lint.

Not even humans could see the lint.

She considered telling him to not be Monk (watching too much American television was the culprit) but decided against it. She really did like where her head was, thank you very much.

But it was a fascinating ritual, for that was what it seemed to be. He would look at a small area on, say, his sleeve and the meticulously pick whatever seemed to be there—for he must have better eyesight than her.

Kagome suddenly wondered, if he was a Dog demon (emphasis on the dog) would he be color blind as well. She gulped, knowing the possible consequences if she were to ask such an impertinent question.

So she continued to watch a demon clean itself. One good thing about the whole process was that he wasn't licking himself clean, like rising up one leg to clean—

Her mind instantly cleared itself of any images and thoughts, best not to think of anything like THAT.

He stopped to look up at her, one brow arching ever so slightly.

Kagome choked back laughter, trying to think of anything to say and so without thinking she spoke.

"I heard that dogs can smell twice as good as humans but are pathetic compared to a bear's sense of smell."

She blushed, oh yes, that's always a good idea; insult the highly lethal man sitting on your bed.

"I have met many Bear demon who have an excellent sense of smell." He acknowledged.

She exhaled softly in relief of a crisis averted. But quickly grew bored, "what is your opinion of stopping us from returning back?"

He stopped his grooming again, he had moved onto combing his nails through his long hair, "Magic."

Kagome nodded before standing up and walking over to her ancient laptop—the internet was out of date it was so old and since she had no idea how to do something properly without breaking it, she left it as is.

"I don't think anything will be on the internet but it's a good place to start without going out in public." Kagome mumbled as she became in grossed in what she was reading. The only novel that could possibly help them was in Tokyo, convenient, but was owned by an exclusive library.

"Well I think I might know where to start looking but I have no idea on how to actually look at the book." Sighing she turned around to meet the wall of white silk, she looked up to see Sesshomaru intently reading the screen of her laptop. She shrugged, mentioning that they could start over to where the library was in the morning.

"This Sesshomaru will allow you to take the bed."

Kagome raised a brow in her most condescending way. "Oh thank you so very much Lord Saigoku."

He inclined his head in the honorific and proceeded to sit on the beige carpet, close his eyes and, what Kagome assumed, fall asleep. She shrugged and went to the bathroom to do her routine before going to bed.

At least he was finally giving her respect, or at least letting her have the bed.

That was always a step in the right direction.
