i apologize in advance for the awkward grossness

Mrs. Higurashi walked into the house with the groceries and Souta got up. He looked behind her and frowned.

"Where's Sesshomaru?"

"He wasn't too keen on riding in the car and decided that he would like to find his way back home. He helped me find some fresh ingredients for dinner though."

"That was nice of him…"

The door opened and they saw Sesshomaru walk into the house.

"Did you find the house okay? Was that better than riding in the car?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Your home was easy to find and yes, it was far better than your horseless carriage."

Mrs. Higurashi grinned and pulled out the package that Sesshomaru has wanted.

"Here's your stuff. Be careful with it now."

"Is it poison?"

"Too much of it can make you sick. Why don't you go up to Kagome's room and share with her?"

Sesshomaru silently declined the offer by not answering but took the bag upstairs anyway. He wanted to sit somewhere quiet while the Kagome was recovering and thought he would ask her where a good place would be.

Kagome was reading a manga in her room when the door opened and Sesshomaru walked in.

"Do you not knock?"

"My apologies." He said, although he looked nothing like apologetic. "Where can one sit in peace around this loud place?"

"InuYasha usually hangs out on the roof above my room. He goes out the window and such. Did I hear right and that you went with Mom to town?"

"Yes. I accompanied your mother into town… although your town looks more like a country."

"Yeah, it's different than back in the Feudal Era. Sometimes I miss it and sometimes I don't. Here I have everything I need but sometimes it's interesting the people you meet when you have to work for something. I'm sure you're not used to needing anything at all though, right? You don't eat a lot."

"I do not require a lot of sustenance many times a day."

"When do you usually eat?"

"When I feel it is necessary. Rin sometimes makes me try her food to agree with her that it is satisfactory… or tasty, as she calls it."

"I see. What you got there?"

"I believe it is what you call a snack."

"I see. Anyway, if you're looking for a quiet place then it's on the roof. Oh, and sorry about Grandpa. He does the same thing to InuYasha so you're not any different."

Sesshomaru made a face at that statement and opened the window, going up to the roof to sit and enjoy his snack. He hoped it tasted as good as it smelled. He tore open the bag and looked at the shiny morsel. He was going to eat it but he had a feeling the shiny stuff was more wrapping and so he delicately unwrapped the morsel and found that the tasty snack was definitely inside. He stuck it into his mouth and was surprised to not only find another flavor but also the taste of paper. He fiddled around with it until he got the paper out of his mouth and threw it on the ground.

It tasted amazing! Now knowing the tricks of the snack, he unwrapped another, took the snack out of the little piece of paper and ate it. Sesshomaru licked his fingers and grabbed another one.

A couple hours later, Mrs. Higurashi brought up a tray that had two plates of fish, rice, and some sushi roles on there. She knocked on Kagome's door and brought it in to her.

"Where is Sesshomaru?"

"I don't know. He went up to the roof to eat his snack and hasn't come back down."

"I hope he's alright. I know how chocolate is for regular dogs, I hope he didn't get sick as well."

"Chocolate?"

"Yes, he wanted a bag of mini Reese's peanut butter cups. It wasn't a very big bag but you never know…"

Kagome looked at the ceiling and hoped her mother was right about it. A couple minutes later, Sesshomaru came down and into the window, sniffing the room.

"I'm glad you're alive. Are you feeling alright?"

"This Sesshomaru is fine."

"Mom brought you some dinner if you want it."

He nodded and ate what had been brought up, sitting on the floor beside the bed.

"So, when we get back to the Feudal Era, we will have to figure out what to do about turning you guys back or if there is even a way to do it."

"I have a feeling that woman will have to be the one to do it."

"I have that feeling too. I hope InuYasha is alright. I know he's not used to being a full yokai at all." Kagome looked back at Sesshomaru. "Dare I ask if you're doing alright?"

"I am adjusting. I do not like being hungry all the time or that these ears move at the slightest of movements. I feel as if I cannot control myself."

"You act like your body doesn't have involuntary movements. Even a yokai body does things involuntarily, like breathe and blink. Even you, the great Sesshomaru, can't keep from breathing."

"True, but I feel as if I am lacking discipline. I also do not enjoy… feeling…"

"You mean emotions?"

"Yes."

"Not all yokai are devoid of emotions, ya know."

"And they are taken advantage of. Look at my brother. His emotions regarding you rule how he is treated by others. By doing things to his friends, they rule him. If you do not have emotions or things that cause emotion, then no one can rule you."

"What about Rin?"

"She is an exception that I was not counting on. I do not know why she makes me have emotions. Even Jaken is a pointless companion."

"He kind of is. What is he, your wing man? Does he just make you happy because he is a kiss up?"

"I do not know why I keep him around. I tell him countless times that he is worthless to me and yet he stays, although Rin is the same."

"But you're like a father to her so she stays out of compassion and love."

"There again is why emotions are a downfall. It would cause her to make rash decisions on my account if something were to happen. It is hard enough to keep her in line, let alone make sure her curious and delicate nature does not cause her injury or harm."

Kagome just smirked at his loyalty to her even though he tried to deny it.

"Well, I'm going to try and get you guys back to normal when we get back. That'll be my main focus."

"Your dedication is pleasing."

"I don't know where you plan on sleeping, by the way, but it won't be with me."

"I did not plan it."

Kagome made a face as she continued to eat.

During the night, Sesshomaru had a horrible dream where he had stayed a hanyou and seemed to be getting married. When he pulled the veil up he saw that it was Kagome. She was leaning forward, making a kissy face, when he woke up, drenched in sweat. His stomach felt very wrong and he got up slowly, trying to find a place to relieve himself. He knew there has to be a place and although he didn't want to ask, he tapped Kagome on the arm.

"What is it?" she said in her sleep.

"I require a place to relieve myself." He said, holding his stomach again when he felt another rumble.

"The bathroom is on the left." She mumbled.

Sesshomaru didn't know what a bathroom was but he figured it had something to do with relieving himself so he followed her directions and came across the bathroom. By process of elimination, he decided that the toilet was the correct place and practically tore out of his robes to get on it. Luckily he made it in time but he was feeling very ill. He then noticed that he was holding his face in his hands.

Two hands.

He looked and found that somehow during the night his other arm had grown back. Odd… he thought, looking at it. Where it had been cut off there was a scar but it was his arm that grew back. He tested it, making sure it worked, when another wave hit him and he shook violently. This was going to be a long night.

Souta yawned and went to go use the bathroom when he opened the door. Something stinky hit his nose and he woke up, finding Sesshomaru still sitting on the toilet, looking pale and shaking very violently. Souta just closed the door in shock and decided he should tell Kagome about what he saw in the bathroom. He opened the door and went in, shaking his sister awake.

"Kagome. Kagome, wake up."

"What?" she mumbled.

"I think there's something wrong with InuYasha's brother."

"What do you mean?"

"He looks really sick and is just sitting on the toilet shaking."

Kagome was up at the description and turned to her brother.

"What do you mean?"

"Just what I said. He looks like he's been there all night. And didn't he only have one arm?"

"Of course he did."

"He's got two now."

Kagome grabbed her crutches and made her way to the bathroom to see what Souta was talking about. She opened the door and found that Sesshomaru had finally passed out onto the floor. She held her breath and flushed the toilet with her crutch, bending next to him. He was panting and shaking, holding his stomach with both arms and wincing every once in a while.

"Damn it, I bet you it's those Reese's cups he ate yesterday. I wish I would have known about them or I could have said no. I can't believe Mom let him have those! Souta, help me with him."

"What do you want me to do?"

"He's still being affected. I read up on this just in case InuYasha had a reaction or something. We'll have to make him drink some peroxide so he'll vomit."

"He already had diarrhea."

"Yeah but we need to purge his stomach of its contents. I'll clean him up, you just get me a small cup of peroxide and a spoon."

Souta nodded and ran to get a cup. Kagome didn't want to but she cleaned the hanyou up as he whimpered against the tub. Kagome moved his hair out of the way so that he wouldn't vomit into it and sighed. He was more trouble than InuYasha. Souta got the cup and poured the peroxide in it. Kagome made Sesshomaru drink it and he began to vomit up the chocolate into the tub. After about four rounds, Sesshomaru finally seemed to have an empty stomach and went limp against the side of the tub.

"Is that it?"

"I think so… Here, I'll stand up and you put him on my back and help me get him to my room." Kagome said, standing up. Souta leaned Sesshomaru onto her and she somehow got him into her room. She put him on the bed and tied his robes back together. She didn't know how she was going to clean up the vomit in the bathtub…

"Don't worry about the vomit, Kagome, I'll get it. You need to take care of him." Souta said and Kagome was super grateful for him.

Sesshomaru had curled into a ball on her bed, holding his stomach but he seemed to be asleep. Kagome sat on the edge of the bed and sighed. She then just got in the bed and laid back down, hoping her mother wouldn't get mad about what happened. She looked at Sesshomaru and frowned.

"You owe be big time, Lord of the Western Lands. I don't know how yet, but I'm serious. You owe me big time."

so that's what happens when a dog has chocolate. they sometimes vomit it up by themselves or you have to give them peroxide and they can get diarrhea as well as shake and pant and do all sorts of stuff. it was the amount of chocolate, not the chocolate itself because mr. daiyokai of the western lands ate the whole bag of mini Reese's cups. no restraint. anyway, we'll be getting back to inuyasha and gang soon!
