Chapter 14: When A Pup Sleeps with its Parents
"She's watching us." Kagome said against Sesshomaru's lips as he rested above her in their bed. The lights were off in the room, but she could make out the tiny puppy sitting up looking at them in the moonlight.
"Hnn. Ignore her." He mumbled before moving his lips down his mates jaw line. Kagome closed her eyes and tried to ignore the feeling of being watched, but kept seeing glowing caramel eyes staring at her from the floor.
"I can't! I'm sorry Sesshomaru but I can't! It's weird." She heard her mates grown as he rolled off of her and onto his side of the bed.
Kagome leaned over and turned on the lamp sitting on her nightstand before looking over to the puppy laying in her new dog bed on the floor.
"Go to sleep Akumu." She told her, earning what seemed like a snort from the pup.
Sesshomaru sat up with a glare in the pups direction before growling something Kagome didn't understand. "What did you tell her?" She asked before looking back over to the pup when she saw movement from the corner of her eye.
She watched as Akumu jumped out of her small bed and skipped over to her before sitting up on her hind legs with a whine.
Kagome bit her lip, knowing what the pup probably wanted, but was not sure if she was right.
"Sesshomaru?" She offered, asking her silent question as he narrowed his eyes further.
"She wishes to sleep with us tonight. I told you one night was all it would take." He mumbled the last part under his breath before turning his attention back over to Kagome as Akumu gave another whine.
"No, Kagome. She must learn to sleep by herself. She is sleeping in here with us and that is enough."
Kagome could see her mates point in letting the puppy sleep with them, and how it was bad, but he couldn't see how cute she looked staring up at her!
It would be cruel to turn that face away, and as she remembered Sesshomaru explaining how Akumu thought her to be her sort of mother Kagome couldn't send her away.
"But Sesshomaru. Didn't you tell me that she viewed us as her parents? Doesn't that make her in a way our child? Our pup? How can you just send-" Kagome paused to pick up Akumu and put her face to face with her mate. "such a cute face like this away?"
Kagome waited with baited breath as Sesshomaru just stared at the pup before giving some very nasty curses. "One more night and that's it!"
She grinned and Akumu gave a small yip as she curled up next to Kagome's pillow as she placed her there.
Ah, the power of females.
