***********************
The morning was unusually peaceful, since the team had been completing a few missions that week. The weekend meant that Seshoumaru allowed them to have a bit of free time, and that's when they usually all did something together. He had cancelled their early morning meeting, forwarding it to tomorrow morning instead.
But the air was thick with fog, as the sun hid behind dark stormy clouds. And Inuyasha had opened all the windows in his room. Kagome was shivering under the cold wind, sneezing in her kitten form, trying to draw heat from Inuyasha who was dead to the world, sleeping away.
She meowed for his attention, mentally kicking herself for not telling Inuyasha that she would be permanently kitten for the day. It was the ending day of the current month after all. Furiously trying to nudge him awake, Kagome meowed in frustration, shuddering again. She wanted to go and close the windows but she was too small to reach or close them.
Fed up, she growled lowly, and sank her fangs into his neck, snapping him out of his dreamland in an instant. She yelped when a hand came down on her and yanked her off, making her dangle in front of his annoyed eyes.
"Now what the hell did you do that for?"
Before she could reply, a small sneeze escaped her and she tried to huddle herself closer, making Inuyasha raise an eyebrow. Say… does it feel cold in here, or was it just him? It was freezing. He shivered too, jumping out of his bed quickly to close all the windows. Kagome immediately snuck under into the blankets, hissing and whining in a freezing state. Inuyasha came in a minute later, searching through the blankets and finding the frozen bundle. She clung to his hand hoping to hell that it radiated heat, as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her against his chest, rubbing her cold little body, trying to bring warmth to her.
Walking over to the door of his bathroom, he turned to the gas-heating switch, turning it up high, circulating through all the rooms. He also turned his waterbed heating, before taking some of his clothes and going into the bathroom. Kagome was nuzzling against him, since he was soon bringing warmth to his own body and hers. She heard him turn taps on and sniffed, finding him filling the big spa up with hot bubbling water.
She purred at the thought of a bath, licking Inuyasha's chest to indicate to him that she loved the idea. Inuyasha brought her up to kiss on the top of her head, as they waited a few minutes before the bath filled up for them to step in. it wasn't too hot to hop into the bath, and he gently lowered himself in, Kagome watching as he slowly lowered her into the water, up to the neck. She was in bliss again.
Purring like he'd never seen before, she nuzzled him, Inuyasha petting her. Jumping onto her feet on his arms and shaking, Inuyasha growled low, being sprayed with the water.
"Is that the thanks I get?"
He chuckled, Kagome pouncing on his chest and licking his cheek, Inuyasha laughing as a ringing sounded through the bathroom. Kagome looked up as Inuyasha reached up to flick a plastic shield up on the wall next to the spa, where a phone was ringing. Picking it up, Inuyasha answered it.
"Seshoumaru, what's up?"
"It's fucking freezing, brother."
"Well nah, no shit Sherlock."
"How's Kagome? Rin checked out her blood status and it says that she stays in her kitten form for the whole day on every last day of the month."
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, who nodded at hearing Seshoumaru on the phone with her fine hearing.
"I see. Well what's the plan today?"
"Rin and I are going down to the hot springs downstairs, she wants you two to join us. And then she wants to go shopping."
"We'll be down there in ten, I just filled up our own bath. Kagome's swimming around right now."
Indeed Kagome was, she was swimming like a miniature dolphin, swimming fast and clean. She came up to the surface, taking a small intake of breath, and paddled back to Inuyasha.
"Meet you there."
"Right."
Inuyasha put the phone back, and closed the plastic shield over it to prevent any water getting on it. Kagome attempted to get out of the bath, but slipped on the edge and yipped before dunking back in the water, Inuyasha laughing. He brought her out of the water, putting her on the ledge before getting out. (He is wearing bord shorts, by the way.)
Grabbing a towel, Inuyasha wiped himself down quickly, then wrapped Kagome in the towel and quickly dried her off too. Taking a fresh towel with him, Inuyasha brought Kagome to his chest, as she continued to lick her paws clean. He pressed another button on the side of the door, and the bath was now covered with a thick plastic shield, keeping the heat in.
Turning back, he flicked the lights off, and made his way out of his room, and then headed out the door to the bottom level.
********************
"Mmm, I love this hot spring!"
"I know, you say that every time we come here."
Seshoumaru sighed, Rin pouting and pulling on his ears as he growled up at her, grabbing her hips and bringing her to sit in his lap. The hot spring they sat in was the size of a 250metre swimming pool, with beautiful real rocks and traditional Japanese hot spring style bamboo water falls. What Rin loved most was that it was at least seven metres deep.
Seshoumaru's nose wrinkled when he heard faint footsteps, the size of a small kitten. When he turned around, he found just that, as Kagome was trying to tap him on the head with her tiny paw curiously, finding Inuyasha closing the sliding doors behind him.
Rin turned around too, and when she saw Kagome, she shrieked at how cute Kagome looked as Kagome sat there with her ears wriggling. She gave a surprised yip when Inuyasha came up and held her up in one hand, Kagome wrinkling her nose when Inuyasha put his nose to hers.
"She was going for the kill, Seshoumaru."
He chuckled, Kagome dangling from his hand as he went down the steps. Sitting on Seshoumaru's level next to him, he let Kagome down on his lap, as Kagome tested the water. It was pretty hot, about 50 degrees. She tried to put her paw in, but it was too hot, and she took her paw back, settling in Inuyasha's lap.
"I see she's become quite accustomed to you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha nodded at his brother, as he casually tickled her under her chin, making her start purring all over again. Rin was trying not to giggle too much in Seshoumaru's lap, as he patted her head.
"Rin hasn't stopped talking about Kagome for the whole night. Is she feeling well?"
Seshoumaru asked, reaching over to scratch Kagome behind the ears. Kagome leaned into his expert fingers, purring blissfully as Inuyasha chuckled at the jealousy in Rin's eyes as she pouted. She wasn't jealous of Kagome, but her mate.
"Can I pet her? Please?"
Rin pleaded, Inuyasha turning around to get something resting in the water. He brought the same baby bottle, filled up with the same milk he fed her last night. When Kagome's eyes spotted it, she constantly meowed, standing on her two back paws to try and reach it, as Inuyasha nudged Kagome until she slipped, catching her with one arm, putting her in the same cradling position.
Kagome made a few light kicks, only to tap Inuyasha's arm, before he put the bottle to her lips, as she started to suckle progressively. Rin was in awe; she'd never seen anything quite as cute, although Kirara's kittens were just as gorgeous. (Yes Kirara had kittens! Four girls and one boy.)
"She's so cute…"
Rin sighed, as she and Seshoumaru watched Kagome drink up, her eyelids drooping a little. She loved her milk all right. Inuyasha rubbed her tummy very gently, feeling the warmth. He beckoned Rin to do the same, and she very slowly let her fingers move smoothly on her tummy.
"She's so soft… how old is she again?"
"18. Still a teenager."
Inuyasha said, Kagome finishing her breakfast, sighing. Rin blinked when Seshoumaru lifted her off his lap, before placing her back down next to Inuyasha, taking steps down until he felt no steps under his feet.
"Sango will put Kagome through more tests, she wants to see Kagome's abilities. Later on, that is."
Kagome was up and hissing at Seshoumaru before Inuyasha could hold her back down, Rin frowning. Inuyasha petted Kagome, bringing her up to nuzzle, Kagome calming a little, but she still had a glare on her face.
"I think what she's trying to say is that she only had to go through two tests."
Seshoumaru nodded, Kagome slipping out of his grip, and pounced on Seshoumaru's head. Seshoumaru calmly placed Kagome on his shoulder, patting her. She nipped his finger, not too hard but warningly.
"Nothing painful, like the needle. Just a few exercises. To check what you can do, and your weaknesses."
He explained, Kagome pouting. She nudged his neck, Seshoumaru placing Kagome back into Rin's lap, who held her carefully.
Inuyasha sighed, scratching the back of his head.
"Well Kagome, what do you think? It won't hurt to have a few more checks right?"
Kagome turned her head on her side as if to think about it, Inuyasha grinning.
"I'll give you a chocolate."
Kagome's eyes nearly sparkled, and she jumped into his lap, purring and nuzzling him as he chuckled at her sudden surrender. Rin looked surprised, putting a finger to her lip.
"Isn't chocolate bad for cats?"
She asked, Inuyasha shrugging.
"She can eat it and not throw up, so I guess she's okay with it. What about chocolate mousse? That might be easier to digest."
Kagome meowed with happiness, starting to play with his fingers, Rin squealing at her cuteness and started to play with Kagome too. Seshoumaru rolled his eyes, and started to climb out of the big hot spring and trudged towards the washing area, where a large long mirror was on the wall, with several stools and many bathing equipment.
Rin started to chat to Inuyasha about how she wanted to take Kagome clothes shopping since Kagome hadn't any, Inuyasha agreeing. He also mentioned he needed to buy some food for his fridge, and also some chocolate mousse as he promised Kagome. While they talked on, Kagome snuck out of Inuyasha's lap, jumping high to reach the top step without touching the boiling water.
Trotting over to where Seshoumaru stood washing his hair, washing the shampoo out. Kagome halted in a seated position just near him, as he proceeded to pile conditioner into his palm, and quite a lot of it since he had such long hair. Kagome watched him run the conditioner through his hair, taking a brush and brushing it, before taking a shower hose that you can take off the hook and washed his now silky mane out.
Kagome watched with a wagging tail, as he sighed, placing the showerhead back in its holder. He wrinkled his nose, only just catching the scent of the kitten and turned around to find her leaning her head to the side, her tail wagging at him. He frowned, raising an eyebrow at her, then got off his stool, sat on the ground cross legged, and brought her to sit in front of him, taking the shampoo bottle in hand.
Kagome made a mewling sound with happiness as he applied the small amount of shampoo to her fur, scrubbing her with both hands, quickly making up a lather of bubbles. Taking care when he washed the top of her head, under her chin, and her ears, Seshoumaru washing his hands before showering her down.
Once washing it all away, Kagome shook her body, Seshoumaru grumbling down at her. All the while he was silent, patting her as she meowed obediently. Next, Seshoumaru grabbed the conditioner bottle, pouring out a small dollop, Kagome tamely sitting there while he applied it to her fur, Kagome purring. Taking the brush, he made sure there were no nots, before showering her down for the second time.
Kagome shook the remaining water off, as Seshoumaru brushed her softly. Inuyasha and Rin only just noticed, and both smiled at the scene.
"I see she's gotten fond of you, brother."
Inuyasha said to Seshoumaru, saying the same sentence as his brother had before. Seshoumaru grunted, trying not to let them see any emotion. But they could both see a tiny blush form on his cheeks when Kagome licked his fingers in thanks.
"Sesh-chan's blushing!"
Rin squealed, Kagome looking up at Seshoumaru with a questioning gaze in her azure eyes, while Inuyasha started laughing, Seshoumaru's blush darkening as he growled at them both,
"We better get out, before you two fools fall over yourselves with the heat."
He muttered, Kagome following him out as he started for the doors. Inuyasha and Rin were still trying to hold in their laughs while taking a quick shower too.
When Seshoumaru stepped out, he felt the chilliness instantly, but ignored it and properly dried himself off. Kagome meowed uncomfortably, and was about to make it back in, but Seshoumaru grabbed her, and put her in a bundle of towels, which were being warmed in a blue lit basket, Kagome snuggling in them purring in delight.
Quickly getting dressed in his baggy jeans, Seshoumaru put on a top quickly to cover his bare chest. Drying his hair, he took a piece of string he always used, and tied it casually. Putting his necklace back on, which was a nice thick chain with a dagger, (small size) and a cross. A valentine present Rin had given him. Kagome had nearly fallen asleep, but Seshoumaru interrupted and grabbed her, placing her on his shoulder while she meowed at him annoyingly.
Waiting for the other two, Seshoumaru walked into the lab room Kagome had gotten her needle yesterday, Kagome noticing and making a face. Seshoumaru set her down on the bed, Kagome fumbling a few times before sitting in a proper sitting position. Clicking through a few files on the computer, Seshoumaru waited a few minutes before her data came up. Hacking into the program easily, he found a picture of a bigger leopard picture with two gold stripes down her cheeks, a little like lightning bolts.
Seshoumaru looked around to Kagome who was already curling herself into a ball to sleep, and back to the picture on the screen.
"Leopard?"
Kagome's ears perked up, and she faced him lazily, finding the picture on the screen and yawning. When he picked her up, she took a swipe at him, although it hit nothing but air with her sluggish movements.
"You're a black leopard?"
Kagome growled in annoyance, before a small black cloud encircled her, Seshoumaru hearing heavy paws land on the ground.
When the cloud of smoke disappeared, he found the exact same leopard in front of him, making her look so much more mature in this form. Seshoumaru scratched the back of his head, squatting as he thought.
"Black Leopard, cross Black Cat? Fuck Kagome, where did Kimura find you?"
He muttered, patting her on the head absently as she purred. It was thicker than her kitten mewls; she seemed to turn into a full adult. But he knew by the looks of her she was still a child stage in her leopard form.
Kagome battered his hand away with her paw, yawning and stretching. She was completely black except the thunderbolt markings on her cheeks, and the deadly golden eyes. Her ears were sharply pointed, alert at any small sound.
Inuyasha and Rin came in at that moment, both falling silent at the site of Kagome's new form. Rin looked at her quizzically, Seshoumaru standing, as Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her.
"Kagome? Is that that leopard form you were talking about?"
Kagome winked at him, walking over to him to nuzzle him fondly, Inuyasha starting to chuckle and petting her, as Rin came around from behind him to also pet her.
"This is her true form? She looks so, so…"
"Mature?"
Seshoumaru supplied for his mate, Rin nodding as she set her hand on Kagome's head. Inuyasha took a good look at the markings on her cheeks.
"Cool. Kimura lost a rather rare breed."
Rin nodded in amazement, Kagome giving them a quizzical look this time. Seshoumaru was back at the computer, checking out the rest of her status.
"Mother of six??"
Seshoumaru queried with shock, Inuyasha and Rin giving him unbelieving looks, Kagome meowing in disagreement.
"Daughter of… Kagome, is this false status?"
She nodded, starting to clean her paw as she watched them with bored eyes, although looking a little surprised when Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief. Rin took a look at her watch and gasped, all three taking a look at her.
"I'd booked to have lunch at Mika's at 12:05! It's ten past!"
Inuyasha shrugged, hauling Kagome up, Kagome growling up at him with a pissed off tone.
"We can't go out in public with you looking like this, they'll shit themselves and run screaming. Turn back to your cat form."
Kagome growled disappointedly, but did as she was told, and before he could say 'pussy' she was light as ever, in her whitish pink kitten form.
"Better."
He chuckled, nuzzling her cheek as he swore he saw a tiny blush turn up on her small cheeks. Seshoumaru closed down the computer, as he took Rin's hand and proceeded out the door, Inuyasha following them out with Kagome in his arms, wrapped up in a white thick scarf to keep her warm.

The morning was unusually peaceful, since the team had been completing a few missions that week. The weekend meant that Seshoumaru allowed them to have a bit of free time, and that's when they usually all did something together.

Kagome winked at him, walking over to him to nuzzle him fondly, Inuyasha starting to chuckle and petting her, as Rin came around from behind him to also pet her.
"This is her true form? She looks so, so…"
"Mature?"
Seshoumaru supplied for his mate, Rin nodding as she set her hand on Kagome's head. Inuyasha took a good look at the markings on her cheeks.
"Cool. Kimura lost a rather rare breed."
Rin nodded in amazement, Kagome giving them a quizzical look this time. Seshoumaru was back at the computer, checking out the rest of her status.
"Mother of six??"
Seshoumaru queried with shock, Inuyasha and Rin giving him unbelieving looks, Kagome meowing in disagreement.
"Daughter of… Kagome, is this false status?"
She nodded, starting to clean her paw as she watched them with bored eyes, although looking a little surprised when Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief. Rin took a look at her watch and gasped, all three taking a look at her.
"I'd booked to have lunch at Mika's at 12:05! It's ten past!"
Inuyasha shrugged, hauling Kagome up, Kagome growling up at him with a pissed off tone.
"We can't go out in public with you looking like this, they'll shit themselves and run screaming. Turn back to your cat form."
Kagome growled disappointedly, but did as she was told, and before he could say 'pussy' she was light as ever, in her whitish pink kitten form.
"Better."
He chuckled, nuzzling her cheek as he swore he saw a tiny blush turn up on her small cheeks. Seshoumaru closed down the computer, as he took Rin's hand and proceeded out the door, Inuyasha following them out with Kagome in his arms, wrapped up in a white thick scarf to keep her warm.
