"Kagome's Puppy Troubles"
By Xio the Dog Demoness
Xio: I'm so sorry everyone. I know I've taken forever to get this out, but while I was writing the first version of this chapter, I realized that it was moving much too fast for my tastes. I am still working on it, but it will be Chapter Twelve instead.
Minnie: You also have so many end of the year projects…
Xio: I gotta hurry before I have to do my Summer Reading, too…
Minnie: Well, the books aren't that bad.
Xio: I know, but the essays will be… -sigh- Ja Ne. -ears droop-
Disclaimer: If I owned them, InuYasha and Kagome would be a couple by now.
Warning: There will be lots of fluff and adult situations. You have been warned.

---------------------------Last time on Kagome's Puppy Troubles---------------------------
"Lady Kagome, what do we do about Kagura? We have her tied up over there, but we wanted your opinion," said Miroku as he pointed to her.
Kagome and Kuri stood up before noticing the little red ball, still pulsing as it had before. Kagome picked it up and pocketed it. They walked over to Kagura and Kagome crouched down to face her. Kuri, since she was in her small form, merely stood beside Kagome. "Kagura, would you promise not to hurt anyone if we let you go?" asked Kagome.
"You would trust me to keep such a promise?" she responded.
"Kagome, are you nuts? She wouldn't keep a promise!" cried InuYasha.
"I can cast a spell to make you keep your promise, if you would accept," continued Kagome, ignoring InuYasha's blatant interruption.
"I will," said Kagura. "Cast your spell, miko. I am not afraid."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay sister. As long as it's you, and as long as you trust him, I will trust you." Kohaku turned and presented his back. Sango bit back a sob as she dug out the shard and Kohaku went limp in her arms. She laid him onto the ground and Sesshomaru walked up. He unsheathed Tenseiga and watched with veiled interest as again it pulsed. Sesshomaru swiped it through the imps that came for Kohaku's soul and sheathed it again as his heart began to slowly beat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay guys, we need to pack up camp and start heading to the Koga's Den. He's the only one left with shards," announced Kagome. Shippo and Kuri ran back to Kagome, Rin attached herself to Sesshomaru, and Kirara jumped onto Sango's shoulder. They packed up and began to head out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All I did was take your picture, Jaken. Consider it a ready made portrait," said Kagome. She passed out pictures to everyone but Kuri and Kirara and kept one for herself.
"I'm going to be the laughingstock of the demon world if these get out! Destroy them!" cried Jaken.
"But they're so cute!" said Kagome with an evil grin. Sesshomaru pocketed his discreetly, while Rin sang about how 'prettyful' she made Jaken.
After some confused fighting where Jaken and Miroku gained some lumps, {rub rub "HENTAI!" WHAM THUD "We're not destroying these pictures!" "I'll burn you and them!" "Ahhh!" Twitch twitch You should have known I'd protect Kagome from your flame! "At least it burnt off this kimono…" WHACK BAM THUD "Hey! Watch it! Who's throwing rocks? … Master, not you too…?" THWACK "Hey, watch your tail!" I am watching it. It went right where I wanted it too, toad!} they slowly got ready and took to the skies again.

Chapter Eleven: That Warm, Fluffy Feeling
It was nightfall and the group had just picked a spot to make camp. "I'LL GET THE FIREWOOD!" called out Kagome and InuYasha at the same time. They looked at each other for a second. "WE'LL GET THE FIREWOOD!" they called out again, then they hopped off eagerly. Sango and Shippo sweatdropped.
"A little eager to gather firewood, weren't they?" said the demon slayer.
Shippo piped up. "You and Miroku were pretty eager to gather firewood not all that long ago," he said innocently. Sango blushed.
"I-I… oh never mind, it's true…" she sighed.
Shippo sat back down next to Rin. "I'm bored," said the little kitsune.
"Rin is bored too, Shippo," said Rin with a sigh.
Kuri stared at Sesshomaru, wondering if he'd do anything to her for attacking Jaken. Deciding it would be worth it, she crept up on the sleeping toad. Shippo and Rin grinned, knowing she was up to something. Kuri snuck over to Jaken's ear, got really close, and barked as loud as she could.
"AHHH! SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!" The toad yelled as he jumped from his bed. When he was in the air, Kuri smacked him into a tree with her tail. Jaken was mumbling about stars with swirly eyes. Rin and Shippo laughed.
Sesshomaru looked at Kuri impassively. "Why did you attack my servant?"
Rin and Shippo were bored. Now they're not. True to Kuri's word, Rin and Shippo were very happy. Shippo was rolling on the ground laughing, and Rin was giggling so hard you'd think her mouth would hurt. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
Rin finally stopped laughing and looked at Shippo. "Rin wants to play. Let's play tag again!" Shippo grinned as Rin tagged him, and ran after Kuri.
With InuYasha and Kagome
Kagome and InuYasha had gotten to a clearing with a small waterfall. Wildflowers covered the area, and at the edge of the forest was plenty of firewood. However, our couple wasn't interested in that. InuYasha had decided they were far enough away from camp and let Kagome off. As soon as she slid off his back, he crushed her close to him. "It's been too long. We haven't had one chance to be together since we met my half brother," he said with a growl of irritation. Kagome shut him up with a kiss. She broke away quickly.
"Then let's enjoy the time we have while we can." InuYasha kissed her this time, forcefully claiming her mouth. She moaned from the passion and intensity of the kiss, and InuYasha swept his tongue passed her partly open lips. Kagome's arms slid up his sides until they reached his neck. She clung to him, trying to force him closer. InuYasha was in bliss. 'She tastes as sweet as before,' he thought lazily. Kagome's tongue stroked his own, and InuYasha shuddered slightly, reveling in the taste and feel of his mate to be in his arms. Kagome, however, was losing interest in just kissing. She wanted bare skin. Subconsciously she began to loosen the ties on his haori, to meet his white undershirt. She growled in her throat, voicing her frustration. 'Couldn't he not wear this for once?' InuYasha heard her growl and noticed she was having trouble with the undershirt. He broke the kiss and tore it off, smirking at her gasp. Kagome looked back into his eyes for a moment, revealing to him the lust filled gaze, before she slid her hands across his chest. 'He's so well built.' Her mouth met his for another kiss while her hands traveled across his torso. InuYasha slid his hands down her front to the hem of her shirt. He slowly began to pull it upward, trailing his nails lightly up her bare skin as it was revealed. Kagome shivered at the feeling of his claws, so easily able to kill, touching her in such an intimate way. Her tongue slid across his lips and InuYasha allowed her in without a second thought. Her tongue swept the inside of his mouth as his claws lightly traced Kagome's flat stomach. They pulled away for air, and InuYasha pulled the shirt above Kagome's head and dropped it next to his clothing. InuYasha looked at her bra in frustration. 'What is she wearing?' Kagome looked at him coyly and removed the bra, allowing him to see her willingly for the first time. Suddenly shy, she looked away, but fought the urge to cover herself. InuYasha closed the distance between them and turned her face to him. "You're beautiful, koi. You're perfect." Kagome lost her nervousness and smiled at him. Kagome's eyes met InuYasha's hungry gaze and shivered. She loved the knowledge she could do such a thing to the stubborn, handsome hanyou in front of her. InuYasha kissed her yet again, and Kagome's hands fisted in his hair. InuYasha pressed her against him tightly, groaning almost inaudibly at the feel of her bare skin against his. Kagome's hands traveled a little farther up his head until they reached his ears. InuYasha nearly lost it as she began to rub his ears, starting with slow circles at the base and working up to the tips and back. InuYasha trailed kisses down her jawline and down to her neck. He licked at the junction between her neck and shoulder blade, loving her shivers of pleasure. Her already aroused scent became even sweeter with his actions, and gave him a heady feeling. He groaned as his ear, lowered to her mouth by his actions, was lightly nibbled on. Kagome, eyes half closed in her pleasure, sucked and licked his right ear, rubbing gently on his other. Kagome swapped ears and InuYasha closed his eyes and breathed in her scent. InuYasha scraped his fangs gently across the he had been working on and Kagome moaned again. InuYasha's mark caught his eye, and he began licking it. Kagome quivered at the intense feeling as her scent spiked. She began licking the mark she placed wondering how he would like it. She nibbled it lightly and InuYasha groaned. 'Oh Kami, I didn't know it was that good!' InuYasha began planting kisses lower, down her neck until he reached her breasts. He planted a kiss on one, before sucking it, kneading the other with his hand. Kagome moaned loudly and stopped moving. InuYasha was very pleased with the taste of her skin and with her reactions. His tongue swirled around her nipple as his thumb mimicked the movement on her other breast. Heat pooled between Kagome and InuYasha's legs. InuYasha rubbed himself against Kagome, causing her to do the same.

Xio: I'm so evil aren't I?
Minnie: Oooh, you're gonna get it!
Angry Readers: DIE YOU EVIL DEMON!!!!
Xio: If you kill me, you'll never know the rest of the story.
Angry Readers: She's right… sit down and pat their pitchforks
Xio: shiver

---------------------------With the Others---------------------------
"They're taking too long," said Sango with a little worry.
"I didn't know InuYasha had it in him…" BAM Miroku trailed off as he fell with a bump on his head.
"They could have been attacked! I'm going after them!" said Sango. "Kirara, stay here to look after everyone." Kirara nodded as Sango took off to make sure her friends were all right. (A/N: Oh cruel, unmerciful author… I mean fate, right, fate. Heh heh. -runs as Angry Readers give chase- Don't kill me!)
---------------------------With InuYasha and Kagome---------------------------
InuYasha had stepped a little away from Kagome to remove his pants. He untied the tie of his pants and let them fall. Kagome unzipped the zipper hidden in the pleat of her skirt and let it fall as well. Now they stood before each other, wearing only their undergarments. Kagome blushed realizing the pair of panties she was wearing were her red lacy ones, but the blush brightened when she saw the reaction they got from InuYasha. 'He's so big… Wait, that's supposed to go where again?' she thought nervously, but she was shocked to realize that his size aroused her more. They were about to remove the last barriers of cloth when…
"Kagome…? InuYasha…?" Kagome and InuYasha both turned in alarm and embarrassment to meet the shocked and uncomfortable demon slayer's eyes. "You, you were taking to long with the firewood," she stuttered. The couple looked at her, blushing freely, before scrambling to cover themselves as Sango began to walk to camp. Fully dressed, the two gathered armloads of wood and rushed after her.
---------------------------At the Campsite---------------------------
"Lord Sesshomaru, Rin's bored…" said Rin softly. Kuri looked up. She was tired of playing with the two, but Jaken looked okay. Kuri smirked.
Lord Sesshomaru, give her a stick and let her poke Jaken, she suggested. Sesshomaru looked at the inuyoukai for a moment, before looking to his ward.
"Rin, why don't you poke Jaken with this stick." He handed Rin a stick. Rin looked at Shippo.
"Lord Sesshomaru, what about Shippo? He wants to play too," she said. Kuri walked over to Shippo with a stick in her mouth.
Here you go Shippo. If you want to have some more fun with Jaken, I suggest using your fox fire to light the tip and poke him with that. Sesshomaru looked hard at Kuri, but decided he didn't care enough about the toad to do anything about it.
Shippo looked at the stick, then at Rin. He walked over to Rin and whispered Kuri's idea in her ear. "Yeah, Rin wants to do it!" Shippo grinned and told her to hand him her stick.
When he had both sticks, Shippo called out, "Fox Fire!" and lit the ends on fire. He handed Rin her stick. Before they could go hunting for him, Kuri grabbed him in her tail and threw the toad between the children. She then headed for a nearby hot spring to wash the slime from her tail. 'I may be a dog, but I still don't want that slime on me!'
"Where are you heading?" asked Sesshomaru.
To the hot springs. I don't want that slime on my tail. It's sticky and it stinks. She kept walking.
All the time the two inuyoukai were talking, Rin and Shippo were chasing Jaken. They managed to get a couple good pokes in, but the toad climbed a tree. Jaken then started batting at the two with his staff. Before he managed to hit either of the children, he was knocked out by a stone slung by Sesshomaru.
After all this, Kagome, InuYasha, and Sango returned to camp in time to see Kuri wandering off. "Kuri, where are you going?" asked Kagome.
I'm just going to the hot spring for a quick bath. Don't worry, I'll be back shortly. Kuri smiled to herself when she caught Kagome's scent. 'Looks like InuYasha and Kagome enjoyed their alone time.'
Miroku, Kagome, Sango and InuYasha pitched in to set up camp and start fixing dinner. Shippo and Rin talked to Kohaku awhile, waiting for dinner to be finished. A little before dinner was ready, Kuri came back, mostly dry, and sat on a rock near Rin. After dinner, everyone but InuYasha and Sesshomaru went to sleep. Kuri snuggled to Kagome's side, Shippo on the miko's other side. InuYasha sat in his tree watching Kagome sleeping contentedly, and Sesshomaru spent the night guarding the camp.
Xio: Sorry it took so very long to get this one out. Hope you liked it.
Minnie: If you don't like the detail, it isn't our fault. We warned you. See, look up there. There's a warning, see.
Xio: So don't flame us if you think I might have been even a little too graphic.
Minnie: If you thought that was graphic you don't need to read the other chapters.
Xio: Yeah, 'cause unless I think of something else I'd rather write for this story first, there will be a lemon in the next chapter or so.
Minnie: Thanks for being so patient with her.
