Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. But one day, I'll get a big white cute Huskie and name it Inuyasha. Then I will!
April 25- Seeing Eye Dog Day
"What. the fuck. is. that?!"
Kagome rolled her eyes from behind the sunglasses. Leave it to Inuyasha. She moved her head upward, in the general direction of the hanyou's voice. "Just help us out, will you?"
With a protesting "feh", Inuyasha helped the miko out of the well and after much, much consideration grabbed the large, white german shepherd out of the well. After landing next to Kagome, he dropped the dog who'd begun to growl at him. "Explain, wench. Now."
Kagome glared. "Hah!" She readjusted the weight of the bag and began to walk after taking hold of the dog's leash. She felt a slackening of the leash and stopped, patting the dog's head when Inuyasha began yelling in front of her.
"Now! What the hell is that!?"
"I thought you'd know a dog when you saw one, Inuyasha." The two walked around the still glaring Inu-hanyou. Kagome called back, "I'll explain when we get to the village, Inuyasha, but basically, this is Wan-wan."
--
After explaining why Wan-wan, the seeing-eye dog, was there and how she was temporarily blind, the merry band of travelers began on their way again, but now with the occasional growling and baring of teeth between the two dogs.
"Kagome-sama, would you be so kind as to explain more about this... chemistry?"
Kagome smiled up at Miroku's voice. "Of course." The school girl started reciting things she'd learned at the beginning of the year. Things like what an atom was, how chemistry was the study of matter, and so on. But, quite suddenly, she felt two hands on her arms, the leash slacken, and a stick (assumedly Miroku's shakujou). All which were to tell her to stop, apparently.
Kagome sighed. She'd been afraid of this happening. All of them were going to be even more concerned about her. She was no invalid! And she'd tell them so, "Guys, I brought Wan-wan so you wouldn't have to--"
"Kagome. Quiet." The blind girl tilted her head. Only a few people could make Inuysha sound like that and Naraku, or one of his lackeys, would've said something by now. That only left...
"You continue to show your low status. Now you have a lowly animal in your pack." Sesshoumaru. Kagome heard a tiny wimper coming from below her. Wan-wan. She glared and releasing the scared dog, pushed her way to the front.
"Hey! Don't scare Wan-wan! He hasn't done anything wrong!" Kagome called, uncertain as to how far away the taiyoukai was.
"Miko." Kagome mentally cursed as the voice sounded from directly in front of her. She'd guessed completely wrong. "Why are you yelling?"
A hand pulled the girl back and a growl filled the air. She let out a protest before she felt a tug on her sleeve. Kagome stood back and pet Wan-wan, listening to the hurled insults and clashing steel. Occasionally, the sounds got louder, but Wan-wan would bark and they'd go back.
The miko gasped as a loud crashing sound filled her ears and was followed by silence. Then she heard it. This growl was different. It wasn't coming from Wan-wan or Inuyasha. It was deeper. More menacing.
Wan-wan whimpered and moved towards the noise on his belly. Kagome was helplessly alone. She could hear her friends, except Inuyasha, calling to her and felt a hand on her shoulder, holding her still. Then a bright light exploded in front of her eyes.
"AHH!" The miko cried out covering her eyes quickly. She glared up at Sesshoumaru, despite the fact she knew he couldn't see it through her hands. "What was that for?! Give me back me glasses!"
"What has happened?" She felt him push the glasses over her earlobes and moved her hands away so the glasses could rest on her nose. He caressed her cheek. She smiled up at him and leaned into the hand.
"My sight is gone." She thought she heard a whimper, but figured there was no way such a noise would come from the mighty taiyoukai. "B-but it'll return with my medicine and a few weeks of resting them."
"How did the hanyou allow this to happen?"
Kagome shook her head, grasping his sleeve. "It wasn't his fault! It happened by accident at school."
"Hn." She stood there, waiting for him to say something. Wishing that she could see. Sesshoumaru might not be the most emotive person in the world, but he was even less talkative. "You will not go near this 'school' ever again."
Kagome huffed, "Since when was it any of your business what I do?"
"Since you were vital in the defeating of Naraku."
Kagome paused. Oh. Why was she always such a fool? No one would ever really want to be with a such worthless person. She took a deep breath, grumbling when it failed to soothe her. "That doesn't work when Inuyasha goes on about such things. What makes it thinks it'll work when you do it?"
The school girl heard a snicker and she figured he had a smirk gracing his face. "Miko, this Sesshoumaru cannot be subdued by one such as you." There was a silent pause, then his voice was closer. His breathe hitting her ear with every word. "I can also do things to your person that'd make you never wish to leave this Sesshoumaru's person."
Her face was flaming and she was preparing her maidenly shriek when she heard Inuyasha's voice again, finally. "Get away from her bastard! She's my pack!" Kagome was released as the two inu began growling at each other. She moved away from them and tried to call Wan-wan to her.
After minutes of no response, she called sniffling, "Sango-chan, where is Wan-wan? He isn't coming when I call him!"
"He's over here Kagome-chan! The poor thing was scared to death of Sesshoumaru-sama, but tried to protect you as long as he could."
Kagome blanched and swayed a bit, "He- he's..." She felt something land on her shoulder. "Sh-Shippou-chan, is Wan-wan...?"
"No way, Kagome-mama! Sesshoumaru-sama wouldn't do anything to make you sad!" She felt his hair against her face as he whispered conspiratorialy to her. "I don't know why, but he was lying about the Naraku thing earlier, Kagome-mama. I could smell--"
Shippou shut up as a growl filled the area, apparently the whisper was quiet enough. Kagome giggled as a bark followed the growling. That wasn't Wan-wan or Inuyasha. As the image of Sesshoumaru barking formed in her head, the laughter increased.
She didn't stop when she felt the clawed hands grab her again, rougher this time. She didn't stop when she was commanded to. The tension was oozing out of her with the escaping laughter. It had to be a full five minutes later when she finally settled down and the first thing she heard was his voice. "If you are quite done, I do not believe we were finished." Kagome heard a "feh" but cut off the hanyou with a retort of her own.
"I think we are. I won't leave anytime soon." She grinned up in the direction of the taiyoukai's voice, "Especially not until I get see you bark."
There was silence, with only the sound of Miroku trying to hold back his laughter, and then, "You will not return to where ever this 'school' is until I bark again?"
She could hear the shock and affrontedness in his voice, but nodded anyway. "Yes."
"Hn." Then this Sesshoumaru shall never bark again.
A/N: Awww, awww, awwww. That was pretty challenging having it be (I think) entirely restricted third person for a blind person. But, I finally got the 25th out of the way! (and am two days behind because of it.) I really think I'm out of the drabble mood. -sigh- These are getting longer. Not much, but still.
Oh, in case you were curious: Wan-wan is the onotamonopoeia of Japan for a dog bark. Anyway, stick with me. We're almost done here! Thanks for continuing to read and review! Kita kits!
