Chapter Ten (I do not own Inuyasha)

Kagome

She laughed as she sat down on the closest bench. "What made you want to take me to the zoo?" Kagome asked looking at the pandas in front of her. Sesshomaru sat down beside her taking her hand with in his.

"I thought it would be a nice first date idea," he told her watching as her smile widen. Her eyes watched the youngest panda with excitement. He still remembered what have happened yesterday at the store. Naraku decided she could visit with Kanna for the night. And now she was with him here at the zoo.

"Awww," she shot up to the fence line looking down to see the little panda eating bamboo.

"It's just eating Kagome," Sesshomaru chuckled coming up behind her.

"I know, it's so cute though," she told him never looking away from the panda. Sesshomaru shook his head looking down at the creature that had her attention.

"Where do you want to go to next?" He asked and she looked away and toward him. She looked thoughtful what see wanted to see.

"Let's see the tigers. I heard they have very cute cubs and then we should go and see the white wolves they had," she said taking his hand and dragging him off to the next place. He followed willing to only be looking at tiny black striped orange cats. Kagome watched them awing and smiling. Sesshomaru looked around hoping nothing would ruin this time. "Look at how cute they are."

"You think every baby animal today was cute," he pointed out.

"Well it's because they are. They are so innocent looking when they are babies," she said before giving a pouty face. He shook his head once again chuckling at her childish behaviour. Her red eyes looked up into his eyes before she smirked and ran ahead of him toward the caves. He chased after her and stopped seeing her looking through a glass wall at a mother wolf and her pups. They were both snow white. She just wished she could just reach out and pet them.

"Why do I feel you like them more than any animal in the zoo?" He asked her taking her hand in his. She smiled shaking her head lightly moving her hair away from her face. Her red eyes starred lovingly at the pups.

"Because this is where I was after I left the past. I sat here most of the days for weeks on end. I just loved watching the pups grow. They reminded me for your true form, but then I'm just a lonely spider demon," she said the last part quietly. Sesshomaru looked to the pups seeing one going after the other's ear. Kagome watched lovingly at them.

"I'm sure they would love you Kagome," he said.

"The zoo let me name that one," she pointed to the tiniest pup lying down by the rock. "I name her Asami. They informed me two weeks ago that she is fighting an illness and they didn't know if she would make it." Kagome looked sad to tell him this. Sesshomaru looked at the small pup noticing it was along. None of the wolves were near it. "It looks so lonely."

Sesshomaru let her hand go and started walking out of the cave. "Sess, where are you going?"

"Don't worry I'll be back soon," he called back to her. She stayed watching the pups.

"Hello Kagome," said an old zoo keeper. "I haven't seen you here for a long time."

"I was busy. How is Asami?"

"Weak I'm afraid," she answered. "I was about to feed her, but would you like to?"

"Could I?" Kagome asked with wide eyes. The old woman nodded her head and held out a figure for her to wait. Kagome's eyes watched as the old lady walked in carefully moving so she didn't upset the wolves and went to pick up the runt and brought her out with her. Soon she was back with Kagome giving the little pup over to her as well as a bottle of warmed milk. Kagome smiled as she feed Asami.

Sesshomaru

He walked right away looking for the main building where he should find the owner of the zoo in. Sesshomaru wasn't happy that he was now just wondering around looking for the building. 'How hard should it be to find?'

"Hello, May I help you with something?" an older gentleman asked making Sesshomaru turn on his heels. Sesshomaru looked at him carefully before narrowing his eyes at him.

"Do you know who ruins this place?" He asked coldly not happy that he was caught off guard by this person.

"That depends on who wants to know," the man replied making Sesshomaru growl slightly.

"I'm looking for the owner to ask about some business," Sesshomaru bit down hard trying to not be to rude or get any more angry. The man looked at him as if he was lying. Sesshomaru took a deep breath to clear his head and sighed. "My new girlfriend is telling me about a wolf pup that was ill. She told me she named it-"

"Asami, You must be dating the lovely Lady Miasma!" Sesshomaru was taken back by the man and his soft smile when he had brought up Kagome. "She really doesn't use her last name but after seeing her a few times she told me and she's been heartbroken about hearing the news. Her last boyfriend stopped paying bits to just keep the pup alive." The way the man said it showed he had thought highly of Kagome. "That Koga would never pay fully to help that pup," he told Sesshomaru. He sound as if he was talking about the trash.

"Well I was going to ask the boss of the place about that…" Sesshomaru looked to see people watching a bit. The man looked around and nodded.

"If you would follow me," he said leading Sesshomaru away from the eyes and through the zoo to an open field. "Sorry about that. The build in a way over there," he said pointing at a far building. "I don't stay there much though. I'm the boss of the zoo, my grandfather started this but never finished it, that is why there is a huge field," he explained. "Now let's talk about Lady Miasma." Sesshomaru looked around shocked about how quick this man was able to talk about different topic.

"Well first may I ask why you haven't tried paying for doctors for the pup?"

"Of course, we are already fighting to keep this place open and Lady Miasma puts $500 a month into this place for help. We are short stuff and can't afford to help that pup," he explained looking calmly toward Sesshomaru.

"I want to pay for the pup and after it's able to be away from doctor I'd like to buy it for a pet," he started thoughtfully. "I also will pay $10,000 a month to help your zoo." The Man stood there shocked looking right at Sesshomaru.

"Why would you do this?"

"Kagome loves this place and that pup she cares a lot for." The man nodded.

"What of Koga?"

"I think he should start watching his steps because there running out," Sesshomaru told the man. Both smiled at that thought before discussing more about the money.
