A/N: I'm back! How'd you guys like the megaupdate? (To Taraah:You couldn't guess. Older than humans, younger than Inuyasha... It's Shippo!) I didn't get to kidnap Vic but I still took pics.

Disclaimer: I no longer can claim one cent even, do you really think I own this?

Last Time: Age is wisdom. Not necessarily with them.

Daiyoukai and the Female Gender

Chapter 13: Daiyoukai and Pets

It couldn't be. Why'd it have to show up now? Around those two. A little harbinger of chaos.

"It's so cute!"
"Leave the mangy thing be! We already got enough to care for!"
"It doesn't have a mommy. It's too young to be left alone."
"SO WHAT? It'll survive or die trying."
"Please can we keep it Inuyasha-sama?"
"NO! What part don't you get?"
"Osuwari! We're keeping it!"
"You know Inuyasha, if you don't scream Kagome-sama is more likely to listen to you."
Muffled by soil. "Shut up, bouzu."

It was a wolf pup. Like the miko said it was too young to go without its pack. ...But it seemed it wasn't young enough to not cause havoc. If it were youkai, Rin would reject it (if only out of fear), but it wasn't (so she thought it cute and cuddly, ugh).

He was going to kill it. It wouldn't have the chance to survive because he was going to kill it. It chewed on his fur. Did it think it was dominant? Did it have a death wish? Was it more idiotic than the half-breed?
"Sorry, Sesshoumaru. He doesn't know better." It was all saintly in her arms. (It was plotting, he was sure of it.)
"Hn. ..Keep it away from my person miko." Or else it'll have an unhappy (but definitely timely) death.
"Ok. I'll do my best!"

The pup (hell spawn) went on to snap at the slayer's heels, hunt the nekomata, chew the monk's robes, and be an all around nuisance. (At least it wasn't bothering him. That's all that mattered.) The best thing it did was bite the hanyou's ears (hard) when he let his guard down.
"Kagome! If you don't get this mutt, I'll make a stew outta him!"
"Quit picking on it!"
"I'll...-"

"Sesshoumaru-sama, will its parents ever come for it?" He tuned out their argument in favor of Rin's sweet voice.
"Perhaps."
"Well, if they don't come, what will we do?"
"We'll find foster parents for it Rin." Ah, the miko to the save.
"Foster parents?"
"Yes. They take care of someone when the real parents can't anymore. But only until he can take care of himself."
"Oh. So Sesshoumaru-sama is my foster parent?"
"Hmmm... More like adopted parent."
"What's that?"
"They take care of you because they want to. You become their child."
"For always?"
"For always."

The miko came to a decision about the pup (hell spawn).
"We'll take it to Koga. It's too dangerous for a pup to be with us."
"Plus it's a wild animal. We're civilized."
"Right! Koga would do me a favor. ...Probably."
"And they're wolves. He'll be better off in their care."
"We'll bring him tomorrow."
"Feh. Good riddance." Sesshoumaru's sentiments exactly.
