Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Wow! 35 reviews! And most saying to continue. This might be the last chapter, I don't know. I know you all love the little mischievous Sesshomaru puppy, but yes. So oh my god... I am updating! I will talk more at the end of this chapter. Holy crap... I have fans for this story :)
Before:
Kagome rummaged through her wardrobe, looking for clean clothes to wear. She paused and looked at the pup on her bed, almost as if she sensed the other presence in her room. "Oh well, no one will see me except for you, Fluffy." She walked towards him and planted a kiss on his nose.
Kagome walked towards the bathroom and set Sesshomaru down next to the shower, closing the door quickly. She began shedding her clothing, and as she removed her blouse, Sesshomaru in puppy form finally admitted that outside of her clothes, the miko had a nice body. As she took off her underwear however, Sesshomaru felt his vision become spotty.
His last thoughts were that if this was the life of a puppy, he was more than happy to continue living it for awhile.
Now:
Puppy Instincts
Chapter Two – Bad Fluffy!
At the time, Sesshomaru didn't mind being a puppy. It had an incredible amount of perks, but also a terrible downside. He should've remembered his own puppy-hood and all of the mischief he pulled, but he hadn't. Which was why the once and still taiyoukai lord was out in the rain on the porch, shivering.
'How disgraceful. How could I have done that? Yes, other pups have weak bladders, and it might've been from over-excitement...but that's no excuse!'
Sesshomaru sighed, though it came out sounding more like a puppy snort. He was outside, sopping wet until he could learn how to control himself. In theory, one would've thought it would've happened when he saw Kagome naked. But it hadn't. He shook his head, his wet ears clinging to the fur around his face and began scratching and whimpering at the door. Yes, it was low, but for the moment he had no other choice.
His little ears perked up when he heard footsteps and the sound of a door unlocking. He looked up with his huge golden puppy eyes at a sleepy Kagome in her pajama's. Sesshomaru couldn't argue that he was thankful he was going to be inside. Kagome picked Sesshomaru up and cuddled him against her chest, for she felt that her 'Fluffy' but really Sesshomaru in puppy form was cold.
"Awww are you cold?" Kagome asked while hugging Sesshomaru closer. "I know it seems odd I'm talking to a dog, but I don't really want to see Inuyasha at the moment..." Sesshomaru growled when Inuyasha's name was mentioned.
"Aw, you're so cute!" Kagome squealed all the while Eskimo kissing Sesshomaru. Inwardly, his youkai longed to bite at her nose for daring to call him such a degrading name. However, he resisted, for the last thing he wanted was to be stuck out in the wet once more. In a place where his inner-youkai wasn't fuming, he secretly adored the nose to nose kisses Kagome offered him.
Sesshomaru scoffed at his ambivalent thoughts. Kagome put her nose to his fur suddenly, and then pulled him away from her just as quickly. "Ugh, you smell! I don't have doggie shampoo yet, so I'll just use some of mine. It's completely safe though, you'll just smell like me for the next few days...or hours." She giggled and took Sesshomaru/Fluffy into the bathroom.
Kagome prepared the water and once it was warm enough, she put Sesshomaru in the large tub. It was bigger than him, and in puppy-form, with his hormones raging, he felt suddenly terrified. It was stupid to fear a tub, for he knew it wouldn't hurt him...but it was one of the down-sides of being this small: random fears.
Once Kagome was done washing him he felt significantly cleaner, but he smelt like a garden. 'I smell like a female. This is embarrassing...but I take comfort in the fact that no one knows who I really am. I hope this enchantment wears off soon...and I wonder if when I revert back to my normal self, I'll be naked?' He would've smirked if he could've, for he knew that Kagome would've enjoyed that.
While he was still damp, Sesshomaru/Fluffy jumped up onto Kagome's bed and nestled himself in between the pillows. It was soft here and he figured that for the moment, he would get what he wanted.
Sesshomaru expected for Kagome to shoo him off the bed. She did the exact opposite. If anything, she gripped him and held him tighter to her body, slowing her breathing after a mumbled goodnight to him. If he could speak, he would've returned the gesture. However, since the pillows were so warm, he joined her in slumber minutes after.
-Dream-
Sesshomaru was a pup once again,a young little youkai. Puppy-hood hadn't been especially kind to him. His father had trained him almost ruthlessly from the day he was a year of age, for he had to know the basics in these dangerous and feudal lands. By the time he was six-years old, he was prepared to fight demons.
Sesshomaru remembered a specific time, years ago, when he had been forced to fight. He was back in that moment then, and all of his senses were heightened. He shivered, for he was bleeding from a few cuts, dirty from the tussle, and to his disbelief, crying. He had almost been killed by a demon, and he longed to scream out his father's name, for he thought that he would show up and save him. It never happened, for he never opened his mouth unless it was to choke back a sob.
His tiny claws were used to cut through the demons in the mountains, and though his eyesight wasn't at its maximum level, it was decent for the moment. However, when darkness fell, he could barely make out the path, much less where he was going.
Just as Sesshomaru thought he was finding the path, he lost his balance and nearly fell into a hole in the earth. The quick reflexes that had been hammered into him as a young child saved him from falling. He was thankful for he didn't know how far the fall would've taken him, much less how severe the damage would've been. For the moment, all he wanted was to go home, and for his father to take him there himself. His stubborn edge stopped him from admitting defeat, for he wanted his father's praise. The closest he had ever gotten towards praise was when his father pat him on the head and stated that "You could've done better. Practice makes perfect."
At last, the path evened out. Relief flushed through him when he found a place with full light. He stepped through the opening, walking onto a moonlit rock. Everything looked amazing from up here, what with the roar of the waterfall. He cupped his hands and managed several large drinks, calming his parched throat. The moment after he swallowed however, a disturbance made his ears twitch, and on instinct, he leapt away.
A giant snake with three tails hissed at him, flicking its tongue while it rose to its full height. It was four times the size of him, which terrified him. It opened up its giant mouth and shot green slime out of its maw, hurtling towards him at an impeccable speed. Sesshomaru dodged it narrowly and the spot he had been standing in was demolished with a hydrochloric acid that would easily eat away at human's skin.
Though the danger was pressing, Sesshomaru found himself stuck in his spot, petrified of the creature. He knew that if he didn't move he would die most likely, in a painful way. The demon-blood in him was strong, and he didn't want to let what he was born with down. 'I will NOT die here like this, or lose to this hideous thing!' Sesshomaru leapt up, revealing his claws. He sliced the thing in half, exposing its innards. Before he managed to fully slice the snake all the way to the head, one of the the three tails came and sliced him across the abdomen.
Death claimed the snake however, but not before it managed to inflict damage on him. Sesshomaru looked towards the corpse he managed to kill, but after a moment, his world began to get blurry, black spots closing in around his vision. He fell hard to the ground, a ground that felt like it was made of the material castle walls were made out of.
From where he fell, he managed to make out a figure approaching him. His eyes closed, but the last thing he saw was a pair of boots right beside him. His sense of hearing failed after the spoken sentence: "Good work Sesshomaru."
-End-
Sesshomaru jolted awake, finding that he was still a puppy. A warm hand rested on his tiny rib-cage, and Sesshomaru knew that this was Kagome's attempt at soothing him. "Poor thing, having puppy dreams. You were whining, and I wondered what you were dreaming of." Gently, she pulled the now awake Sesshomaru into her lap, all the while scratching his ears.
"Oh Fluffy, I wish I knew what to do. Maybe I can make Inuyasha jealous by cuddling you and making him sit a lot. What do you think?" Kagome looked towards him, all the while directing the question at him. "Hmm...that almost looked like a smile. That's so cute!" She suddenly squealed and hugged him.
'I wonder if Inuyasha will pick up on my scent. It will be most interesting if he does. However, I'm not in any condition to fight if he chooses to tower over me with the Tetsusaiga.' Sesshomaru gave a small exhalation. 'He was dumb enough to not notice me before. Perhaps luck will be on my side once more.'
As Kagome and Sesshomaru anxiously awaited Inuyasha's visit, Kagome thought it would be interesting to play fetch with him. Much to her delight, Sesshomaru realised that in this form, he liked to play this game. He chased after the ball, which after awhile, accumulated a lot of saliva, which grossed his temporary master out to his own delight.
The fun and games stopped when Sesshomaru's ball was tossed near the well. Sesshomaru could hear through the well-walls and knew that Inuyasha was arriving. He quickly bolted back to Kagome, hiding behind her. Inwardly, he scolded himself for running away from his bastard brother, but that was canceled out when Kagome gripped his body to her chest, showing that she would protect him.
Two things happened instantaneously after that. Inuyasha came out of the well-house and for all the world, his hair was bright-yellow. The second occurance was that Inuyasha began growling at him, almost as if he knew that Sesshomaru was the Fluffy that Kagome more or less adopted.
"Um, Inuyasha... why is your hair bright yellow?" Kagome said, all the while holding back a flurry of giggles.
Inuyasha stopped his growls for a moment to answer her question. "Shippou said my hair was looking bad, so he said I should try using some of your shampoo. He mixed some stuff you had left there in it with some other ingredient... but I think the most important thing here is not my hair colour, but why you're HOLDING SESSHOMARU!"
And once again two things happened at the same time. Inuyasha leapt for Sesshomaru/Fluffy, and the moment he launched himself at the pup, Inuyasha was sat so far into the concrete, he might've become a pancake.
Kagome stood up, all the while clenching her hands."Well if this Sesshomaru I don't care, he's been better than you! Plus..." Kagome realised what Inuyasha told her and what she said and put Sesshomaru down. Sesshomaru watched as Kagome's eyes became filled with the light of revelation itself. All the while, he heard Inuyasha getting himself out of the crater his body impressed on the ground.
Had he been in a different form, he would've faced this turn of events. However, since he was still a puppy, the most important thing he thought of was self-preservation. As Inuyasha leapt towards him once again, he ran between Kagome's legs and into the house in his frantic pursuit of a hiding place.
A flurry of "Sits" were heard from behind him, but he didn't care, for he knew the most important thing at the moment was in finding a safe place to hide from the infuriated miko.
