Summary: Sesshoumaru seems to be in a bit of a fix. He's suddenly seems to be bite-size. What will Kagome do when he decides to be her personal flea?

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I always feel weird saying that. I feel like I should be saying I don't own Sesshoumaru…
Title: Fun-Sized
Chapter Eleven
Note: I need to invest in longer chapters.
"Before I woke up here I was dreaming something and I need it confirmed." She replied, her eyes staring off blankly. Sesshoumaru felt his unease grow. He gently landed beside her and using his whip, masterfully sliced the bandage from her.
The soft gaze floated to the bed and there before him were two tiny fang impressions had been yesterday now formed a tiny spider shaped tattoo; just like the scar on Naraku's back.
"Well?"
"Well shit."
"What is it?" She hissed at him, her fingers tightening in the sheets.
"You have a new scar, in the shape of a spider." Sesshoumaru replied, deadpan.
"Shit."
"What was this dream about?" He asked, his eyebrow raised in surprise at her cursing.
"I was walking in the forest, lost. The woods were so black. I heard Naraku's voice, laughing at my inferior humanness. He was telling me I had to hurry, that I was too late for something. I stumbled out of the woods and there was a flash of white. Then nothing. My neck was burning. I touched it and when I pulled my hand away there was blood. I looked up and Naraku stood in front of me laughing. It looked like he knew a secret, something I didn't know. Then I woke up here." Said Kagome, her voice trailing off at the end of her story.
"Hmmm." Sesshoumaru landed beside Kagome and gently touched the scar that now marred her beautiful neck.
"I wonder what this means." Mumbled Sesshoumaru, more to himself than anything. He did't have time to ponder it any longer though because the nurse and mother had returned. He slipped effortless behind Kagome's hair to hide and waited. Within the hour they were released.
"Inuyasha's been here." Whispered Sesshoumaru as they entered the house. Kagome nodded, her mind obviously miles away. He let it drop. Kagome walked to her room and sat down on her bed, placing the brand new can of spider killer on her nightstand. The fragments of the jewl gleamed from their tiny jar next to it. Kagome reached for it. The seconds her hands touched the cool glass her neck burned.
"Ow!" She cried out in surprise almost dropping the jar. She let go and the burning slowly faded.
"What was that?" Asked Sesshoumaru nervously, watching her.
"I…I don't know." She picked up the jar again. The burning started once more. She let it go and gritted her teeth till the burning stopped.
"What's going on Sesshoumaru?" She whispered, under her breath.
"It appears Naraku doesn't want you controlling the jewel." Replied Sesshoumaru, idling touching the jar himself. Nothing.
"How does he know what I am doing? How is he even here? Does that mean…" Kagome's voice died in her throat, her eyes wide.
"Mean what?"
"We fail. We must have or he wouldn't be alive now, in my time." A tear slipped from her eye. The smell of salt burned Sesshoumaru's nose.
"We won't fail." Replied Sesshoumaru harshly. He wasn't used to emotional females.
"But, he's here!" She replied angrily, tears slipping out faster and faster.
"Then he's given himself away. If we know he didn't die at the final battle then when we face him, we can make doubly sure he is dead. If he had stayed hidden till after the battle we might have never known." Said Sesshoumaru stubbornly. What would it take to make this woman stop crying!
Kagome obviously thought about that for half a second and stubbornly wiped away her tears. "Your right. We won't fail, not this time. We need to make you bigger though." She said, standing and walking over to the scroll on her desk., followed quickly by Sesshoumaru.
"I've managed to get most of this translated, there's still about 3 lines I don't' know though." She unrolled it and began to read.
"The moon was full
Upon the night
When demon and miko
Met in the light
Love and hate
Intertwined
Underneath
The starry sky
Protection and death
Feeling and lust
And combined
In the evening fuss
The demon was left
Unpurified, but changed
The miko arose
With much to gain
When the deals were done
And the plans were made
She changed him back
From this deadly game
The time was right
And the mood was set
But what really did it
Was the feeling unkempt"
"And that's all I can read." Finished Kagome, placing the scroll back down.
"What does it mean?!" Asked Sesshoumaru in frustration.
"Well the story is about a demon and miko meeting. She obviously didn't kill him, but used her power 'the light' and made him agree to her terms. She knew how to reverse it though. But what really gets me is the line 'feeling unkempt' because it sounds like she had feelings for the demon, but I don't –" Kagome cut off mid sentence.
"What?" He was getting used to this revelation habit of hers.
"I know how to changed you back."
