Chapter 10 Puppy Strange Day
"Consula please I know you still love me! I made a mistake please give me another chance."
"I'm sorry Jerry but your too late I… I'm now in love with Thomas."
"MY BROTHER."
"What did you expect me to do, wait for you until you decided that you were threw with your ex."
Sesshomaru took a handful of buttered popcorn from the bowl Mrs. Higurashi held in her lap, both currently watched the TV entranced by the story playing on TV. Mrs. Higurashi had decided that since Sesshomaru was no longer there that she would tape Consela for the demon, nope she had not used that as an excuse to tape it in favor of watching the new soap on a rival channel. So far they had been sitting threw ten hours worth of soaps and still had more to go. Kagome had set off to school and had said she would be staying after and since everyone already knew about his situation Sesshomaru felt no need to stay in his puppy form and since the morning when Kagome and Souta had departed and Mrs. Higurashi squeal were she managed to dress him in a new outfit well dragging him to the living room. He had maintain his demon form without so much as a hint of transforming back, of course his eyes had yet to stray from the couch as he watched TV.
"MOM!" Souta's ran threw the door his face frantic as he looked at the Demon Lord munching popcorn on the couch. "Inuyasha's coming." Sesshomaru growled as he looked to the boy, Inuyasha's scent assaulting his nose.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome's mother turned to him worry as Souta went back outside.
"It will be no use my scent is all over." Sesshomaru remarked towards the older women. Mrs. Higurashi smiled at him her eyes gaining a mischievous twinkle.
"Don't worry I thought about that yesterday, So I came prepared," Mrs. Higurashi pulled out a can of something, "Now I suggest you transform back into a puppy." Sesshomaru looked at item in her hand wearily closing his eyes and removing all emotion, which took several seconds. He almost sighed it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain his impassiveness and easier to show all emotions. Fire shot threw his veins and the light shown brightly along with the smoke as his body collapsed upon itself, once again he was a small defenseless puppy. Mrs. Higurashi smiled and pushed the button on the container, a sort of hissing noise filled the air and then faster then he thought possible the older women had sprayed a fine mist around the living room and into the kitchen up the stairs in Kagome's room and then down again. Sesshomaru momentarily wondered what she was doing until it hit him so hard he almost passed out from the powerful odor. He whined as he placed his paws over his nose. The smell of flowers were overwhelming to his senses and he was sure that if he was in his demon form he would have…
"KAGO me!" He watched as his brother enter the house stopping in the middle of the living room for a moment Sesshomaru wondered how affective the scent cover Mrs. Higurashi had used was but that was soon answered as Inuyasha's eyes rolled behind his head and he fell backwards.
"MMMRRRRROOOOWWWW!" Inuyasha landed directly on top of Buyo squashing the obese cat to the ground as the hanyou fainted from the intensity of the smell.
"Mom I think you killed Inuyasha." Souta remarked as he looked down at the fallen half demon. "And Buyo too."
"It can't be, the can said it was safe for pets." Mrs. Higurashi remarked as she reread the label. Sesshomaru jumped off the couch and walked over to Inuyasha and using a paw poked the half demon. Sesshomaru looked at Kagome's mother who looked at him from the can of aerosol. "Is he okay?" Sesshomaru nodded as he jumped on Inuyasha patting his face.
"So he's not dead?" Souta asked as he poked the half demons as well. Sesshomaru shook his head relieving the worried women and boy.
"The smell must have been too much for him." Mrs. Higurashi stated with a sigh as Sesshomaru jumped off his half brother.
"Mom Kagome's coming!" Souta remarked looking out of the window. "What are we going to tell her about Inuyasha?"
"Nothing!" Kagome's mother remarked as she grabbed hold of a book on the coffee table and handing it to her son. "Tell her I said she has to do it now." Souta looked at the book before looking up at the puppy, Sesshomaru looked at the boy suspiciously as the smirk on his face only widen as he neared the demon lord.
"SIT!" Kagome cried her body slumping to the ground as tears appeared in her eyes, it was about the hundredth time she had said it and still he wouldn't sit. She glanced down at the book in her lap before throwing it over her shoulder. "Training a puppy 101 my butt." Kagome remarked as the book landed in the bushes. An hour in a half had passed and Fluffy refused to do anything
"Fluffy please sit." Kagome whimper towards the puppy who didn't seem to want to do anything she said. She had followed the book and it's instruction but it didn't seem to work for puppy who just laid on its stomach looking bored and uninterested.
Sesshomaru flinched as tears appeared in Kagome's eyes and the feeling in the pit of his stomach churning as he watched the state he had place her in. Sesshomaru sighed as a tear of frustration rolled down her cheek, he couldn't stand it anymore he concluded as he stood and headed towards the disturbed miko. He had refused to listen to the miko because he didn't want to be like his brother and sit on command but the more she cried the more he convinced himself that at least he would sit willingly. He pawed at her lap getting Kagome's attention once she was looking at him he stood strait up hoping she would repeat her command
"Sit." Kagome mumbled threw her tears, he sat down and allowed his tail to wag in amusement as her eyes went wide and a smile appeared on her face.
"Stand." He did as she said and as much as he hated to admit it the smile on her face made it all worth it.
"Sit!" He did.
BAM
Sesshomaru's eyes went wide as he heard the sound he missed whenever in the future.
"Down!" Kagome remarked happily.
"Up!"
"SIT!"
BANG!
"Up!"
"SIT!"
TWACK! Sesshomaru's tail wagged violently and he almost missed Kagome's next command. He heard every sound Kagome's sit would make and he loved every second of it.
"Ka..go…me ple..ase st..op." Kagome gasp as she ran pass the happy puppy to the crawling half demon behind him.
"Inuyasha I'm so sorry I didn't mean too, I didn't know, I mean I did say it and knew I was saying it but not at you!" Kagome rambled as she helped Inuyasha stand up.
"Don't worry about it." Inuyasha remarked as he stood and turned towards Kagome his eyes looking at the miko with worry, "Are you still upset?"
"Don't worry about it." Kagome repeated as she smiled towards the half demon whose shoulders dropped as if a weight had been lifted. Sesshomaru watched intently as Kagome looked upon Inuyasha the spark in her eyes dimmed, she still loved Inuyasha but her hope for a shared life with the half breed nonexistent. Inuyasha seemed to notice the change as well as something flashed across his eyes as Kagome moved away his hand shot out and gently took hold of the miko's arm stopping her. Inuyasha's golden eyes locked with Kagome's brown
"I care about Kikyo." Kagome flinched and a hurtful expression cross her face as she looked away from the half demon who had managed to hurt her again. His words hurt and she knew that the pain would have been worst a day ago.
'The idiot had to say it.' Sesshomaru growled as Kagome looked away giving him a perfect view of her pained expression.
"I know." Kagome remarked deep down inside she always knew.
"But I don't think I could ever truly forgive her if she hurt you." Inuyasha remarked as he turned Kagome around, the miko looked up her eyes wide. "Kagome I…" Sesshomaru's growl turned into a snarl as he watched Kagome's eyes began to sparkle as she looked up and Sesshomaru wanted began to panic Kagome had just taken the first steps to get over the idiot and now the moron was reeling her back in to get hurt. Sesshomaru looked around him looking for the damn fat cat or something else to stop the hanyou. Nothing came to mine until he felt a slight pressure he suddenly stopped as he stood thought about the option. It was unthinkable, it was degrading, and dishonorable, but it would beyond effective. He ran to Sesshomaru and stopped by the closet foot, which just so happen to be right one. Sesshomaru lifted his leg and allowed the pressure to be relieved. Inuyasha once again grew close to her, his eyes half lidded as he neared her face she felt her eyes begin to close as he neared her their lips once again at the brink of touching. Kagome became confused as Inuyasha tensed, when he finally growled and pulled away she had a sneaky suspicion she already knew the culprit.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked as she looked where Inuyasha's vision had turned and sighed.
"YOUR FUCKEN MUTT PEED ON ME!" Inuyasha shouted as he glared at the small puppy. 3…2…1.
"SIT!" Kagome shouted as she moved quickly running away grabbing hold of the puppy as Inuyasha made a lunge only to fall strait to the ground. "Sorry Inuyasha I haven't potty trained him yet." Kagome ran pass the crater and ran into the house well shutting the door behind her. As the door slammed shut Kagome let out a sigh as she landed back against the door with a sigh. Her hand moved to her lips as she thought about the second almost kiss that happened and allowed her head to hit the door repeatedly.
"Stupid Kagome, Stupid stupid stupid." Sesshomaru looked at the miko in worry as she continued to hit her head backwards repeatedly. "Don't put yourself threw this again girl. You already know how it's going to end." Slamming against the door startled both Kagome and Sesshomaru.
"KAGOME YOU CAN'T PROTECT HIM FOREVER!" Inuyasha's voice screamed threw the door.
"What happened?" Kagome looked up at her mother as she moved away from the door. Mrs. Higurashi walked forward and turning the door knob allowed the irate hanyou to enter the house.
"Fluffy peed on Inuyasha." Souta remarked as he appeared a smirk on his face since he had seen the whole thing from the window. Inuyasha glared at the puppy in Kagome's arms as Mrs. Higurashi looked at Inuyasha's pant's leg.
"Well you are wearing fire hydrant red."
Inuyasha grumbled as he pulled Kagome out of the well by her bag and once her feet were settled on the ground let her go. With another word he began to walk away from the well, Kagome followed slowly well looking behind her.
"Um Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as her vision settled on the half demon.
"What?" Inuyasha didn't look back as he asked only continued to walk not noticing that Kagome had stopped walking.
"Keade's village is that way." Kagome stated as she pointed behind her.
"We're not going to Keade's village." Inuyasha grumbled as he walked.
"What about Sango, Miroku and the kids?" Kagome shouted at the half demon who was several feet away.
"They'll catch up later." Inuyasha shouted as he shouted back.
"Do they know we're going ahead." Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Nope." Inuyasha remarked. Kagome sighed as with a shrug of her she turned around.
"Let's go see what's going on in the village." Kagome remarked as she walked puppy in tow, "We can't just go ahead without them." Sesshomaru nodded his head as he kept looking forward allowing himself to dangle as always.
"DAMN IT KAGOME!" Inuyasha voice finally shouted after he noticed she was not following him anymore.
"Kagome!"
"Lady Kagome!" Kagome lifted a hand in the air as she was quickly plummeted by Shippou who crashed against her chest and Rin who attached herself to her waist. Sesshomaru looked down from his perch in Kagome's hand as she grabbed hold of the young fox well still holding him in the air.
"Hi Shippou, hi Rin." Kagome giggled as the fox move to her shoulder and Rin moved only keeping her hand connected.
"We're so glad you're back, Kouga and Inuyasha have been driving us nuts!" Shippou stated, "Mangy wolf, mutt face, flea bag, they never stop."
"Kouga's here." Kagome asked surprised.
"Damn wolf has been getting on everyone's nerve!" Inuyasha remarked as he finally caught up with the miko.
"You know you could have just told me Kouga was here." Kagome commented as she looked towards Inuyasha.
"Would you have come with me away from Kouga if I had told you?" Inuyasha asked.
"No." Kagome continued to walk.
"That's why I didn't tell you." Inuyasha shouted exasperated, Kagome didn't acknowledged the hanyou's words and continued to walk but that soon came to a stop as her hand was tugged back. Sesshomaru felt Kagome being jerk back and when she turned he realized that Rin had come to a dead stop her hand holding the miko's fiercely.
'Rin?' Sesshomaru wondered as he noted the girls sudden pale expression.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked the girl who continued to stare ahead. Shippou cupped his hand around Kagome's ear.
"Kouga's wolves are surrounding the village and Rin's scared of them." Shippou whispered. Sesshomaru was not surprised as he recalled how the girl had died.
"I see." Kagome looked down at the puppy she carried in her arms as he turned his vision to her, she handed the small pup to the small girl who instantly snapped out of her state of fear. "Stay here and take care of Fluffy okay. I'll have all those wolves out of here in no time. You'll see." Rin held Sesshomaru to her chest with a nod as Kagome began to walk away.
"I'll stay too!" Shippou remarked as he jumped off Kagome's shoulder and ran to Rin's side. Kagome nodded as she continued to look forward grabbing hold of the hanyou as she passed him. Sesshomaru waited until he could no longer hear his brother before he struggled out of his charges grasp and with the usual puff of smoke and light was once again his majestic self. It wasn't long after that Rin attached herself to his leg her body shaking uncontrollably.
"I'm scared." Sesshomaru pulled his young ward away from his leg as he lowered himself to one knee so he was as close to eye level with her as he could be.
"Do not be." Sesshomaru stated, "the wolves will not touch you."
"Promise." Rin asked showing her fear since she never question him. Sesshomaru never really knew how much Rin really remembered of her death or of the lasting impression it had left on her but as he looked at her now he knew she subconsciously or not would always be scared of wolves.
"You have this Sesshomaru's words." Rin's face suddenly lit up as she flung her arms his neck in a tight hug.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin remarked happily as she stepped back a mischievous smirk on her face. "Lord Sesshomaru guess what?"
"What?" Sesshomaru asked suspiciously as he lifted an eyebrow as her hand touched his shoulder.
"Your it!" Rin squealed as she bounded away faster then he had ever seen her go grabbing the surprised fox with her on the game. Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow as he realized his position in the game and the newly acquired speed of the little girl. Obviously her games with the small fox had made her faster and gave her an edge in maneuverable. He smirked as he allowed them more time to advance before he stood wrapping his tail around his waist, and was off after them his demon speed making him appear as a blur. In no time he stood in front of Kagome's small fox and with a clawed finger tapped his head before he realized what had happened.
"I believe that means you are now it." With that he was off in the opposite end of the clearing making a Rin the closet and easiest target for the fox. Shippou quickly turned around and as predicted ran after a squealing Rin. Upon tagging Rin the girl was off in his direction of her Lord trying in vein to tag the quick moving demon.
Sango stood frozen in shock behind an alcove of trees watching the unbelievable scene before her. She had seen it all from the beginning from Sesshomaru transformation to his now playful state with the children. Astonishment had kept her from moving when he had transformed and when Rin had jumped on the lord hugging him for all she was worth she couldn't find it in her hurt to do anything and when he assured the child and then played along with them Sango concluded that she would do nothing with her newly acquired information. The slayer looked at the happily laughing girl as she missed tagging Sesshomaru once again and smiled, the young girl had done nothing but stare at the direction the wolf sat alert and fearfully tense. The small girl had finally had enough and ran away from the village Shippou behind her but now she was playing as if the wolves no longer existed.
"Sesshomaru is Fluffy." Sango mumbled to herself with a smirk and a shake of her head.
"Sango child! What are ye doing here? Ye should be watching and protecting the village from the wolves!" Sango turned to the older angry miko behind her.
"But…" Sango began but nothing else came out as her hand was grabbed and she was instantly dragged back to the village. Sango looked back, she wouldn't tell anyone about this instead she would watch the Lord just incase.
Kagome sighed, when Shippou told her there were wolves in the village she hadn't exactly expected them to find a ring of wolves surrounding the small town, snarling and growling at any human that came near them. She quickly passed by two snarling wolves turning her seething glare at them and making them whimper before continuing her walk to the tree were she spotted Kouga wolf companions, Ginta and Hakakku being watched closely by Kilala who sat opposite the two.
"Sister!" Ginta remarked standing up quickly well his partner followed suit as they spotted her making her way to the village.
"Where's Kouga?" Kagome asked the two as she looked around for their leader who was no where to be seen.
"He's in the old miko's hut." Hakakku stated
"We're sorry about the wolves sister but Kouga refused to call them away until they told us where you went." Hakakku commented, Kagome smiled towards the two with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry it wasn't your fault, I know how Kouga can be." Kagome told them with a sigh and a shake of her head. She turned her gaze to the small cat demon who no longer had her attention the the wolves. "Would you do me a favor and get Rin and Shippou for me please." The small cat demon nodded as she stood and stretched before heading into the woods. Once the cat demon could no longer be seen she began walking to where Kouga was staying passing by several huts with people peeking outside but none moved from their home.
"The villagers have been scared shitless since his damn wolves appeared they refuse to leave their homes until the wolves and Kouga leave." Inuyasha remarked as they neared their destination. Another sigh left Kagome as she continued to walk, many things had obviously gone wrong well she was gone.
"Kouga the villagers are too scared to even tend to their field, can you at least tell your wolves to leave that area alone?" Miroku's voice reached her ear as she reached the hut.
"Look I already told you we aren't going anywhere until you tell me where Kagome is or she come here personally." Kagome walked into the hut followed close by Inuyasha.
"Well she's here so get your ass out." Inuyasha gruffly said as he entered the hut behind her. Kouga currently laid on the floor on a mat his eyes closed and a fire beside him with Miroku sitting across from him.
"At least he's not hurting anyone." Kagome remarked towards Inuyasha as she looked at the wolf demon who instantly sat up. "Kouga could you please tell your wolves to leave."
"Of course Kagome." Kouga remarked as he was suddenly up and in front of her holding her hands in his. "GINTA!" A few seconds passed before his demon companion appeared at the door.
"Yes Kouga?" Ginta asked as he looked towards Kagome and his leader.
"Tell the wolves they can go back to the cave." Kouga ordered his gaze never moving from Kagome.
"Why were there wolves surrounding the village?" Kagome asked glaring at the wolf who did not seem affected.
"No one would tell me where you were or when you would be back so I decided to camp here with my wolves until they told me or you showed up." Kouga remarked with a roguish grin towards Kagome.
"Lady Kagome the wolves are gone!" Rin ran into the hut a large smile plastered on her face as she ran to the miko throwing her arms around the older girl waist while managing to keep the puppy from being squashed effectively knocking the girl several feet back and always from the wolf demon.
"Yeah we saw them leave a few minutes ago." Shippou remarked as he also bounded to the miko who stood with a child on her shoulder and one around her waist.
"I told you I'd take care of the wolves." Kagome laughed towards the girl who handed her the small puppy whose tail wagged softly as she lifted him into her arms. Both kids detached themselves and ran into the hut finding a seat and plopping down instantly. She turned back to the wolf demon who took the opportunity to take hold of her unoccupied hand.
"I couldn't leave after seeing you all upset over dog breath over there, no offence mutt." Kouga remarked as he looked at the miko tenderly only glancing at the puppy in her hands once he finished his sentence.
"Feh, like you can insult me." Inuyasha remarked looking away. Kagome sigh she couldn't be angry with the wolf demon when he had obviously been worried about her. Thinking back of how she left she realized that everyone must have been terribly worried.
"Who said I was talking to you dogshit, right mutt." Kouga remarked towards the puppy that was held in Kagome's free arm.
'Who are you again?' Sesshomaru wondered as he examined the wolf demon.
"Kouga leader of the eastern wolf tribe." Kouga stated as he answered the puppy's barked question.
'You understand me?' Sesshomaru asked as with a soft bark.
"Yeah wolves and dog have the same tongue." Kouga stated, all eye's turned to the wolf demon who currently stood with one of Kagome's hand in his while barking at Fluffy who barked back.
'Interesting.' Sesshomaru stated.
"Not really," Kouga remarked, "It gets annoying after a while."
"Kouga?" Kagome caught the wolf's attention instantly and as he and Sesshomaru looked up neither missed the sparkle in the girls eyes as she locked eyes with the wolf. Sesshomaru felt a growl form in her eyes and once again he was left wondering what her relationship with this demon was.
"Yes Kagome?" Kouga asked eagerly ignoring the growl coming from behind Kagome from Inuyasha.
"You can understand Fluffy?" Kagome asked her eyes shinning brightly.
"Yeah wolves and dogs aren't that different and their languages mesh easily." Kouga explained, Kagome's sparkling eyes suddenly increased in intensity as she looked upon the wolf.
"Could you please tell me what he says? please please please?" Kagome begged, "Ask him what he thinks of me? What his favorite food? If I'm doing a good job?" Kouga nodded as he eagerly turned to the small dog.
'She wants to know…' Kouga began.
'I heard." Sesshomaru remarked as he intentionally left his name out, 'I like her omelet.'
"He says he likes your omelet." Kouga repeated.
'And Inuyasha a idiot.' Sesshomaru continued.
"And Inuyasha is an idiot." Kouga continued.
'who should take a bath more often.' Sesshomaru remarked
"Who needs a bath." Kouga repeated.
'And lacks the intellect of a meager fly.' Sesshomaru sustained
"Who's dumber then a fly." Kouga smirked as he translated to the miko.
"THAT'S IT!" Inuyasha shouted with a snarl, "Who you trying to fool it obvious you don't know a damn word the dog is saying so stop insulting me."
"Hey it's not my fault even a dog can see what a moron you are." Kouga growled, Kagome sighed as she shook her head as she looked down at the puppy whose tail wagged happily back and forth as he watched the fight between the two.
"I wonder if Kouga was really translating?" The miko wondered.
"I have no doubt Lady Kagome that he was." Miroku added as he looked at the two shouting insults at each other.
"Why's that?" Kagome asked.
"Because Kouga has no idea what an omelet is." Miroku stated as he looked at the puppy who ignored him.
"Your right he doesn't." Kagome remarked happily who sat down next to the kids who were currently coloring.
"Will ye two ever cease this insidious ruckus!" Keade remarked as she walked into the hut dragging Sango in with her.
"Well that explains why the wolves left." Sango remarked as she went to sit with Kagome and Miroku. She glance at the puppy in Kagome's hands for a second before returning her vision to the two who had suddenly gone quite instead choosing to glare menacingly at each other.
"Now that Lady Kagome has return shall we get down to business." Miroku stated, "Tell us Kouga what happened to you?" The glare was broken as Kouga turned to the three humans looking at him expectantly.
"Well It all started when I felt demons crossing my lands without my permission so I went to investigate everyone has been on edge for a while especially after hearing about the thieves that stole from the west but by the time I got their most of the demon had already crossed my territory, all except for two girls a hanyou and a mix breed." Sesshomaru's head shout up at the mention of the two girls, it was just too much of a coincidence for it not to be the two that had cursed him. "Both were weighed down by huge bags and were trying to catch up with the other demons."
"Get on with it already." Inuyasha growled.
"I'm getting there! The smaller of the two released an attack when I showed up and the next thing I know I'm on the ground the shit beat out of me." Kouga remarked as he rubbed a remaining injury on his arm. "With that they ran off taking the huge bags with them."
"That's it? You got your ass kick by two girls. Then why the hell were your two lackies going on about one of Naraku's incarnation being huge and powerful?" Inuyasha shouted as he mocked the wolf.
"Hey! Those two girls were nothing to laugh about! And Naraku's incarnation came after they left." Kouga growled.
"What was he liked?" Sango asked distracting the two from another fight. Kouga turned his attention back to the humans.
"I don't remember." He remarked as he shrugged his shoulder.
"I'm not surprised after all we found you in horrible shape." Miroku remarked as he remembered bandaging most of the wolf's injuries they had been brutal, whatever attack had been used it was powerful.
"Kouga the pack has sent word they need you back quickly." Hakkaku remarked as he entered the hut.
"Kagome I have to go but I promise once I take care of my pack I'll come back." Kouga remarked as he gave one last look towards the miko.
"Kouga…" But the wolf was gone Hakkaku close behind Kagome gave another sigh.
"Well at least I didn't have to convince him to leave this time." Kagome remarked with a sigh. Sesshomaru looked up at Kagome the thought once again going threw his head.
'What is he to you?' Sesshomaru wondered. It wasn't long after the wolves left that the group departed on their journey after another rumored shard. It was hours before night fall when surprisingly Inuyasha stopped the group when they came across an abandon hut.
"We'll stay here for the night." Inuyasha announced as he looked at the hut which was currently in very good condition, considering it was abandoned.
"What's gotten into you Inuyasha?" Miroku asked as he looked at the half demon.
"Yeah you usually keep us going until the sun goes down." Sango remarked
"Shut up and go get some firewood already!" Inuyasha remarked as he made his way into the forest, "I want some meat tonight."
"What's going on with him?" Kagome asked as she looked at the retreating demon.
"Don't you remember what tonight is?" Shippou asked the raven haired girl. Sesshomaru attention turned to the humans who all suddenly seemed to realize something.
"The new moon!" Kagome remarked. So there would be no moon tonight what was so shocking about this? Sesshomaru wondered as everyone proceeded to set up camp quickly even Rin and Ah Uh were drawn into preparing for the night.
"Inuyasha would you like me to make you some ramen as well?" Kagome asked the half demon who sat at the darkest part of the cabin his sword resting against his shoulder.
"Yeah." Inuyasha remarked not moving. Kagome poured the noddles into the already boiling water.
"Kagome I just found a hotspring." Sango remarked excitedly as she moved into the small hut towards the hut.
"Really!" Kagome asked excitedly as she moved to grab her bathing items.
"Yes and it's not too far away." Sango stated as she grabbed the girl and dragged her out.
"Wait let, Miroku could you finish the ramen," Kagome remarked as she was dragged out of the hut, "Wait Fluffy."
"Leave him," Sango's voice was heard from outside.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow or at least tried to in his puppy form as the girls left him behind. He ignored the slight emptiness feeling for watching Miroku hand everyone a plate of food, once his plate was place in front of him he no longer felt so hungry. Surprisingly for once Miroku did not saying anything about going after the girls as they took there bath.
"Shippou I'm sleepy." Rin remarked a few minutes after eating.
"zzzzzzzzz…." The small girl looked over at the small fox who was sprawl out on the floor.
"Good idea." The small girl remarked as she laid next to the fox demon falling him to the land of dreams.
"Damn brats," Inuyasha remarked as he yawn, "WHAT THE FUCK IN THIS RAMEN?" Inuyasha looked at the ramen and then up his whole figure still covered by dark shadows. Inuyasha stood up and walked over to the monk as he stood in the middle of the room the light of the fire hit the half demon to reveal a human with long black hair and violet eyes. Sesshomaru watched in shock as the human Inuyasha grabbed hold of the monk by the robes.
"Inuyasha really you must rest." Miroku remarked as he grabbed Inuyasha and with a few turn had the boy on the ground. "I was really hoping you would have been completely human when you ate the ramen but since it's wasn't I will have to restrain you." Miroku pulled out a thick piece of rope from his robe and proceeded to tie Inuyasha to the center pole of the hut. Sesshomaru stood from his stupier and began to growl at the monk.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" Inuyasha remarked as he struggled against the ropes. "Why?" The once hanyou asked as he looked into Miroku's eyes.
"Why Inuyasha I'm surprised you don't already know." Miroku remarked a smirk on his face, "After all the girls haven't been gone long."
"YOU DID ALL THIS SO YOU COULD PEEK ON THE GIRLS!" Inuyasha shouted angrily, "YOU FUCKEN PERVERT WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'M GOING TO CASTRAT YOU!"
"Now Inuyasha you must not say such cruel things." Miroku remarked as he moved towards the door ignoring the growling puppy only to stop as Kilala stood in front of him. "Aw Kilala it's a pleasure to see you." The cat demon narrowed her eyes at him. "Don't worry I did not forget about you." The monk pulled out a bag from his robes and open it, immediately the cat demon went still and watched the bag in the monks hand. "Catch!" And were the bag went the cat followed. Sesshomaru raised his eyes brow until the odor entered his nose…catnip.
"Now for the beautiful sight that awaits me." Miroku remarked as he began his journey threw the woods.
"ARF!" Sesshomaru shot threw the ground grabbing hold of the end of the monks robe and pulling as hard as his body would allow.
"Oh Fluffy, I forgot about you." Miroku remarked a cheesy smile crossing his face, "Aw but this is easily fixed." Once again Miroku hand reached into his robe.
"This feels so good." Kagome moaned as she sunk deeper into the water.
"Yes it is." Sango remarked as she watched the younger girl. "Kagome may I ask you a question?"
"Sure what is it?" Kagome asked as she moved forward.
"What do you think about Sesshomaru, I mean now that he has saved your life twice?" Sango asked her attention on the futuristic girl, Kagome paused as she looked at the slayer. What did she think about the Demon Lord, the first time he saved her he made her pass on a message but the second time he saved her he seemed concerned for her.
"I don't know, I mean I don't think I'll ever be able to see him as an enemy ever again not after he helped me with Kikyo." Kagome remarked with a sigh, "I really wish I could be his friend he really helped me and it's thanks to him I'm still alive." Sango nodded as she watched her friend she had observed Fluffy all day long his closeness to the Kagome, the way he followed her, the way he looked at her.
"We might all be surprised in the end to see how this turns out." Sango replied as she tensed, her hand reached behind her grabbing hold of the first thing within grasp.
Grrrrrrroooooooowwwwwwlllllllll
"Do not look so down my dear friend, after all you are about to see one of the most beautiful sights in all the world." Miroku pulled on the rope which dragged behind him as he walked up a slope. Looking behind him he smirked as a second growl was directed towards him. "My plan is perfect to think it was all done within seconds, you see the drug I used belong to an old potion maker friend of mine, he had such success in his skills that he moved to the large city two years ago. When he left many of his potions stayed behind, one of them was a strong sleeping drug that worked on humans and some demons."
Miroku almost skipped the last steps to the end of the slope with a pull he had the puppy pulled beside him he looked down hogtied puppy who had been dragged threw the ground. He moved his body to the ground and taking hold of the puppy he scooted the last few feet to the edge of the slope. "Take a look at this spectacular sight my friend." Sesshomaru growled again as the monks hand moved his face to look down at the hotsprings where the two girls of the group were currently bathing. His eyes went strait pass the slayer to Kagome whose visible body glistened with the droplets of the water.
"I knew these springs were here from the start and I made sure Lady Sango found them, once the girls were gone the rest was all a matter of patience and load and behold the goddesses before us." Sesshomaru turn his glare towards the monk who monk hung open slight drool falling from his month. Sesshomaru had to admit that for a spur of the moment plan the monk had thought things through. The children were asleep, Ah Uh didn't care, Kilala was occupied and Inuyasha was subdued. Not to mention here he was tied indignantly and being forced to listen to the disgraceful rambling of the hentai-high monk. "Now now don't give me that look especially when Lady Kagome is about to show us more of her beautiful body." Instantly his head turned to look at towards the miko who moved from her position to grab hold of something in her bag before settling back down in the pool.
"Damn it." Sesshomaru attention went from Kagome to the monk whose eyes were no longer train on the girls but up ahead. A swarm of demons made their way to the hot springs and to the unsuspecting girls. "I have to warn them!" Miroku hissed as he began lifting himself off the ground…
BAM!
"You no good pervert how dare you spy on us!" Sesshomaru looked at the now unconscious monk and the large bump left in the middle of his forhead. Obviously the slayer had heard the monks whispers and had decided to put him out of his misery (or pleasure) with the help of a large rock. Sesshomaru looked down watching as the slayer fell back into the spring her face flushed with anger and ignorance as to the situation at hand. He sighed in frustration while looking at the monk he couldn't have stayed conscious long enough to warn them.
"AAAAAAAAAAA!" His vision suddenly turn back to the girls, and his eyes widen as he watched the demons attack the girls.
"Kagome hang on." Sango shouted she had been close enough to her close to grab hold of her boomerang fast enough to attack but unlike her, Kagome had jumped away from her bag as the demons appeared leaving her without her bow or arrows and easy to attack. Sango slashed at the demons with the giant weapon killing demon after demon but still she remain in place unable to get closer to the miko. Suddenly something twisted around her shoulders and dragged her into the sky looking up a snake like demon with wing had hold of her and with it's powerful wings had her in the air flying her past the springs and into the forest leaving Kagome unguarded and alone.
"SANGO!" Kagome shouted as she chucked another miko charged rock at another demon, the rock hit it's target but all it did was cause the demon to fall back in pain. She was defenseless and with out Sango she was going to die. Sesshomaru watched panic overpowering his being and the familiar burning of his body changing overcame him but even as the smoke and light covered him his vision never strayed from the miko who was surrounded by demons. Kagome's scream prompted Sesshomaru into action as his body finished the last of the transformation and his vision turned red as Kagome screamed felling into the water a demon's claws dripping red with blood as he stood above where Kagome had been standing. Rage enveloped Sesshomaru's vision and with a feral growl he landed in the spring only feet away from the surge of demons that once stood against the small miko.
"HOW DARE YOU KILL HER!" Rational thought was no longer with him only a thirst for revenge for the spilled blood of Kagome he surged forward his acid whip killing the majority of the demons with a circler twist and the remaining few demons found themselves dead by the acid swipe of his claws all except one the one with Kagome's blood on it's claws. The demon stood petrified to its spot watching the demon lord before him it's claws coming forward in a protective manner. Sesshomaru's nostrils flared as he took in the scent of blood but the smell alone caused him to pause, it didn't belong to Kagome but to a hare. He moved forward his claws dispatching the last demon in a cloud of putrid acid before taking his place where the demon had been standing his vision train on the water. He saw nothing with in the depths not to mention enough time had passed if Kagome wasn't hurt why had she yet to surface. Suddenly his vision caught sight of bubbles breaking the surface and he dove into the water the area he was in was deep, deeper then he had imagine and what no human would have been able to see in the depts. of the hot water did not even impair his demon vision from seeing what months ago he never would have thought possible to bring relief to him. Kagome was currently struggling against a demon who resembled more a monkey then anything else whose tail held onto the miko while it's hand had hold of the ground. It was trying to drown her and she was at the limit of her breath suddenly her hands flew to her mouth while her feet which had been kicking uncontrollably gain more power. With power strokes from his legs and his right hand glowing green Sesshomaru's left arm wound around the miko and he threw the creature holding her killing it with a single swipe. The release of bubbles from Kagome hand suddenly caused Sesshomaru to turn to the miko and without thinking twice he moved her hands from her lips and slammed his mouth with her. Her sudden intake of breath stole the air he had store within his lungs and as she finally gain the air he found himself reluctant to move his lips from her. His legs moved threw the water forcefully and within seconds they broke threw the surface only then did he move away from the miko taking a deep breath of fresh air. Kagome began to cough uncontrollably and Sesshomaru noticing this wasted little time on taking Kagome and himself to the shore and as he moved them both onto dry land. Sesshomaru took Kagome into his lap and allowed her coughing fit to subside as he looked her over for injury his eyes lingering longer on her plump breast and trail of hair away from her head. Before finally forcing his eyes from her body and onto her face her honey eyes locking with his again.
"Thank…cough cough…you…cough…again." Kagome coughed a few more times before taking a big breath her cough finally seceded. "Once again you're in the nick of time." Kagome remarked turning to the demon, which once again found him breathless as he was given one of her full-blown smiles. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and then herself before once again her face took the shade of a tomato, fining herself caught in the same position which she had been in only two days ago but now not only was Sesshomaru naked but she was as well. Kagome instantly squealed as her hands moved to cover herself and Sesshomaru could do nothing but laugh at her once again delayed reaction. Kagome looked at the demon lord her blush simmering by the awe she felt hearing the dangerous demon She sat mesmerized, She had never seen him smile much less laugh. Laughter subsiding Sesshomaru could do nothing but let the smile on his face remain it just seemed natural like it belonged there looking at the miko that he had almost lost he reached his hand up to caress her cheek.
"This Sesshomaru though you had been killed." He remarked as he allowed his hand to drop to her lips, a trance befell him as his vision lingered on her lips and resistance was futile as he felt himself drawn in the speeding of his heart increasing as he neared her. Kagome watched as the smile on Sesshomaru's face faded replaced by a longing that took her breath away well making her eyes go wide as he slowly made his way closer. He gave her plenty of time to move away but for the life of her Kagome couldn't move as his lips came within inches of her. Sesshomaru's lips touched hers once sending a shock across their senses, Kagome instantly broke from her paralyses as Sesshomaru moved away. After the first taste Sesshomaru was hooked he instantly claimed Kagome's lips once again caressing his silken lips with her own, and Kagome moan as she grabbed hold of his hair pulling him closer to her did nothing to stop him in his pursuit to consume her. Emotions rage insanely inside them both much like the fire that consumed Sesshomaru upon transformation and it wasn't long before he found himself moving away to allow Kagome a chance to breath well giving him a chance to reel his desires.
"Wow." Kagome remarked breathlessly her heart beating erratically, Sesshomaru chuckled as he laid his forehead against her own his ego raised higher by Kagome's indirect compliment.
"Indeed." Sesshomaru stated.
SNAPED
Sesshomaru looked up rapidly his attention to the trees his nose picking up the scent of the slayer on her approach back.
"She is close." Sesshomaru's declaration brought Kagome back to reality as she looked up but as she did Sesshomaru's lips took her again before his warm body disappeared completely.
"Wow." Kagome repeated as her hand flew to her lips where they continued to tingle.
"Kagome!" Sango appeared from the trees still naked and her boomerang on her back well a knowing smile was plastered on her face, Kagome felt a blush raised on her face and she quickly decided that maybe dieing wouldn't have been so bad after all.
"Well my suspicions have been confirmed." Miroku remarked as he looked away from the girls who had finally dressed and were headed back to camp, a large grin on his face as he sighed in the bliss from the sight he saw. "To think Sesshomaru of all people not only a puppy but also falling for our Kagome." He chuckled as his hand reached up to move his bangs out of his eyes, "Owch!" His hand moved away from his bruised forehead. "I swear Sango's aimed is getting better with time." The hit had managed to knock him out for a few seconds and when he opened his eyes he watched in awe as the small puppy was surrounded by smoke and light before jumping from the cliff as Sesshomaru in all his glory. He had been amazed until he realized that Kagome had been killed of course the sadness and guilt had expired when he watched the demon lord and miko brake the surface. What he saw so far had been expected, not understood but expected that soon changed when he witness the kiss. His vision turned forward as he looked at the hut.
"UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW!" Inuyasha's voice boomed from the hut, "THAT FUCKEN PERVERT WHEN I FIND HIM I' M GOING TO SKIN HIM ALIVE."
"THAT'S RIGHT I FORGOT ABOUT THE HENTAI!" Sango voice followed. Miroku laughed nervously well looking in all directions.
"INUYASHA"S WHERE'S FLUFFY?" Kagome's shout sounded. Miroku sweatdropped as he took several long steps back.
"THE PERVERT TOOK HIM, HURRY UP WENCH!" Inuyasha shout sounded.
"May the gods favor me tonight." Miroku remarked as he turned and ran away as fast as his legs would take him.
"MIROKU!"
DS: Wow…that's all I can say about this chapter because believe it or not this chapter painfully slowly wrote itself. Sesshomaru and Mrs. Higurashi were not suppose to be watching the soap operas, damn Kouga refused to leave, (I swear he was suppose to only show up for chapter 8 But nooooooooooo), not to mention Sesshomaru playing with the kids was not suppose to happen, and I convinced myself that Miroku had betrayed them. This was an unusual chapter as I mean the hot spring that seemed to be bottomless and the Kiss! It was suppose to be one peck and he was suppose to confess he loved her but like I told you it's writing it self it decided that it was too soon. *pulls hair* AAAAAAAAAAA not to mention this was long ago suppose to be the last chapter to this story but now I'm looking at 20 and climbing.
