Thoughts '…'

-------------------

When Kagome woke for the third morning in a row to alarm clock blaring at quarter to five she found it was easier to rise out of bed. However her desire to smash her alarm clock had tripled. Stumbling towards the bathroom she grabbed the clothes she had laded out for herself as she went in and switched on the shower. After a quick eight minuets she hopped out and pulled on black pants and black v-neck sweater. Once she was ready she realized that maybe it was not the best outfit to wear. Since there was a chance she would have to hold Kikyou's little white fluff ball like Sango had; for three hours.

Deciding that it was not worth changing Kagome went into the kitchen and made a pop tart. Going back over to the bedroom while it toasted Kagome went over to rouse her sleeping pup.

Valeo's black head was the only thing Kagome could see as the rest of the day was buried beneath her comforter. Gently stroking the dogs silky brow she cooed softly at her, "Valeo, pup, your coming with me so rise and shine." The dog opened her eyes but didn't budge.

Throwing the cover off the dog Kagome tried to roll her over hoping that it would encourage Valeo to move. Out numbered by her dog's size, Kagome discovered that her dog wouldn't be moving unless it was willingly. Sighing she strode back into the kitchen. Going straight to the fridge she rummaged around until she found half a package of hotdog wieners. Shuffling back into the bedroom she waved half a morsel in front of the dog's nose, a last ditch attempt at getting her up.

Amazingly, after three and a half wieners Kagome had Valeo up and about. Grabbing her pop tart and a baggy of dog food for the pooch she snapped a leash on Valeo collar and headed out. Since the elevator was still broken Kagome was forced to take the stairs and unfortunately having her hands full of stuff and a leash attached to a giant dog did not make the decent easy, 'Please don't let me fall on my face.' She let herself relax a little once she got the car and threw all her things in the front seat and let Valeo into the back.

When she arrived at the studio lot the parking guard gave her a funny look when he saw Valeo's huge head sticking out between the cars front seats. Ignoring the look Kagome parked as close to the door as she could get and piled out. Gathering what she needed she quickly grabbed Valeo from the back and made her way to the door not daring to look at her watch incase she was late.

As she swung open the door she walked right into Sango who was taking off her coat. The two of them went crashing to the ground and Valeo went loping around them happy as can be, shoving her big wet nose into Sango's face trying to say hello. When Sango saw what was licking her face her visage turned shocked, so surprised that Kagome burst out laughing.

"Crap, Kagome what is this thing it can't be the dog you were talking about. This thing is the size of a bloody pony!" Sango exclaimed, gently shoving Valeo out of her face.

Kagome continued to chuckle, "Valeo is a dog all right, she may be the size of a pony but she is most defiantly a dog, while actually she is barely more then a puppy."

"That's not like any puppy I've ever seen." Sango remarked eyeing Valeo.

Chuckling again Kagome stood up and offered a hand to Sango, "We should probably show are faces soon, the last thing I need is two be late."

"Good plan."

As they entered the main area of the studio, Kagome headed straight over to where they would be finishing up filming inside, for the next little while. Spotting Sesshoumaru a ways off she began to feel apprehensive what if his reaction to Valeo was worse then Sango. 'What if he says I can't bring her again? I'll be screwed, and Souta can't keep taking care of her.' "Oh, please like her." Kagome whispered as she walked up behind Sesshoumaru.

"Glade to see that you have arrived," His cool voice told her before he even turned around, and he didn't sound the least bit glade to see her, he didn't sound anything.

"I brought Valeo with me I thought I should let you meet her, incase you change your mind." Kagome told him shifting nervously,

Sesshoumaru finally turned around to get a look at the massive black animal happily sitting at her feet, taking in the sleek black coat, intelligent eyes and tall lanky body that completely hid Kagome's legs and most of her hips. He gave the dog his hand to sniff for a moment before stroking Valeo's head as she thumped her tale in glee. Sesshoumaru nodded his in approval at Kagome's choice in pets.

"Is she going to be too big?"

"No, I am happy to find that your choice in dogs is far more apt then that of Kikyou's. Hers bares a striking resemblance to a mop."

Kagome giggled at this, since she had the same thoughts on the animal.

Sesshoumaru smirked and lent down, his mouth dangerously close to Kagome's ear, "Your taste in animals is just as enticing as the rest of you."

Sesshoumaru's warm breath on her neck sent chill shooting down Kagome's spine. Blood rushing to her cheeks, Kagome gripped Valeo's leash tighter and took a tiny step backward and gazed up at Sesshoumaru's emotionless face. "I…Umm…" Kagome stammered awkwardly.

Smirking again, at her reaction Sesshoumaru stepped back enjoying her reaction to something so simple. Nodding his head towards Valeo he asked. "I would like to keep her with me for the next little bit if you don't mind. I imagine you would find it difficult if you had to take her around with you everywhere."

Thankful at the change in subject Kagome gave Sesshoumaru the leash and bent before Valeo to give her a pet. "You be good, okay?" She told the dog. Looking back up at Sesshoumaru she blushed awkwardly and said "Thank you."

"Not a problem, I wish to see Mirokou's reaction to your friend here." Sesshoumaru told her.

Kagome was surprised to say the least; she would never have thought that her stoic boss would plan a joke on someone. But judging by the slight gleam she saw in his eyes Kagome had a feeling that was exactly what he had in mind.

At eight thirty Kikyou and Inuyasha announced their arrival by immediately complaining about the quality of coffee that was being served at the snack table. Luckily for Kagome she wasn't the one Inuyasha took it out on Mirokou was near by and kindly pointed out to his friend that it was not meant for the actors and if they didn't want to eat it then they didn't have to.

Snickering at them from a safe distance Kagome and Sango watched as Kikyou tried to goad Inuyasha into arguing with one of his closest friends. From the sounds of things it wasn't going to well for her. "Inu, why aren't you complaining anymore you were just as upset about this slop as I was?" Kikyou demanded

"Mirokou told us that it's not for us to why bother if it's not ours let others bother with it."

Mirokou looked back at the two girls and smirked proudly. Sango shook her head and looked over at Kagome, "Let's get back to work before he decides to come over here and tell us wonderfully he solved the problem with Inuyasha.

For the next couple hours everything ran smoothly until right after coffee break when Kikyou's personal assistant stopped by with the little mop dog; Jefferson. As soon as she saw her little powder puff Kikyou squealed and scooped him up carrying him over to the set so he could 'watch' her work. Kagome shook her head watching the seen as she came up to the set after walking the dog.

As soon as Jefferson laid eyes on Valeo he started yipping and growling like nuts. Surprised at her dog's sudden antics Kikyou loosened her hold and the animal went flying out of her arms towards Kagome. Jefferson skidded to a halt a few feet away not decreasing his volume in the slightest. Valeo, seeing the small dog immediately assumed that she had made a new friend, and like all puppies Kagome new that her enthusiasm knew no bounds. Yanking the leash straight out of Kagome's hand Valeo bounded right for the small Laso-apso.

Seeing the large dog barreling towards him Jefferson turned tail and ran.

Suddenly a cheesy film played out in front of Kagome's eyes as she saw her dog tare the studio apart in her game of catch me. She looked on helplessly as Valeo chased the little mop through costumes, across the set, and to her horror under the snack table; a table that Valeo was taller then. Coffee and sandwiches went flying everywhere as the tall dog squeezed itself underneath it poorly and increased the mess.

The chase continued on for another five minuets while various stage hands and helpers attempted to catch the two dogs. The game of tag came to an abrupt end when Sesshoumaru was finally noticed at the back of the studio where he had entered from taking an important phone call. When Valeo saw him her direction changed immediately as she thunder toward him, her previous playmate forgotten.

Sesshoumaru stood still as the giant dog ran right at him. Instead of doing a flying leap onto him as Kagome feared Valeo would do the dog skidded to a stop at the last possible second and sat at his feet. Looking down at the cheerful puppy, Sesshoumaru gave her a rub on the head, a ghost of smile on his lips. Walking towards the group of frazzled people he shook his head as he surveyed the mess, his clawed hand still on Valeo's head as she followed at his heels.

Kagome closed her eyes as she waited of him to banish Valeo form the studio for good, 'well at least I got my pay back, Kikyou looked absolutely terrified when Valeo chased that little puff ball. She didn't know that Valeo couldn't hurt a fly.' Kagome couldn't help but think to herself gleefully. Unfortunately her happy little world came crashing down to reality when Sesshoumaru started to speak.

"Well, it is interesting to see what happens when either Mirokou or I are not present to baby-sit." Sesshoumaru stated blandly his stoic face not revealing any hint at his mood.

Kagome swallowed hard, and was about to speak but was beaten to in by a perturbed Kikyou. "It was that beast that did it," she accused venomously, pointing at Valeo, "she went after Jefferson. She was trying to kill him. I want the monster destroyed!"

Kagome's mouth hit the floor, 'that Bitch!' went ringing through her head. "You evil little-"

"I don't think it is wise for you to be lying right now Kikyou, from what I saw Kagome's dog had no intention of killing yours" Sesshoumaru interrupted. "Valeo is not going to be destroyed and you are to leave Jefferson at home from now on. If I see him here I will have someone FedEx him home. "

A smile lit Kagome's face as she heard Sesshoumaru's words, 'Yes! I'm not in trouble.'

Once again Kagome's happiness was interrupted, only this time by Inuyasha.

"What the hell! You can't just ban Kikyou's dog in favor of that wench's" Inuyasha bellowed, pointing at Kagome.

'Why it is all fingers always seem to be pointed at me?' she thought as the brothers began going at it.

"This is not the first time something has happened with Jefferson Inuyasha; I told after he bit Sango that if he did something again he wouldn't be aloud back." Sesshoumaru informed him, his voice void of emotion.

Sesshoumaru's lack of emotion seemed to fuel Inuyasha's fire, "But it was that mongrel's fault. It was her stupid paws that trampled everything. Why the hell aren't you getting mad at her?"

"Valeo has an excuse she is a puppy." Kagome spoke up finally able to get in a complete sentence.

"Bull," Inuyasha snarled, "that thing's huge."

"That is of little consequence Inuyasha, the animal is still a pup." Sesshoumaru told him, before turning to Kagome and speaking under his breath, "You may continue to bring Valeo her but for the next couple days you are going to be somewhere else. I do not need Inuyasha biting your head off every time he sees you simple because he lost the argument today."

Hearing only the last bit Inuyasha went off again, "What! I didn't loose the argument, it isn't even over yet!"

Before Sesshoumaru could answer a door opened and closed in the far corner, drawing everyone's attention in that direction.

A surprised Mirokou was startled to find everyone staring at him as he entered. Looking around a massive grin spread across his face as he took in the mess that was spread out around the room. Walking up he chuckled and asked, "Wow, what the hell happened in here?"
