Sorry it's been so long folks! With finals coming up in the next week I've been studying hard, and nearly forgot about this story, seeing as I don't check my Email often -.- but obviously you guys didn't because I found quite a few comments that made me smile and I darn near cried heh...it's been stressful, but you didn't watch this story to listen to me talk, on with the show!...er...story
Shippo shifted uncomfortably in the leather seating in the car and he glanced at Kagome who is staring intently at the black pavement her slender yet strong hands gripping the steering wheel tightly causing his mind to wander to the dark side The things she could do with those hands...His face flushes realizing where his now perverted mind had went and he let out a huge sigh causing Kagome to look over at him "you okay Shippo?"she asks, causing him to jump "Uh..y..yeah...s...sorta...." He runs his hands through his hair with another sigh "I'm just curious on what Sesshoumaru wants to speak to us about...I mean, last time we saw him, he saved our tails from Inuyasha." he touches her shoulder when she gives him a pained look after parking. "kagome...we'll find him...and bring him to normal...I promise" that damn dog...lucky bastard doesn't know how lucky he is... Shippo shakes his head stepping out of the car and looks at Sesshoumaru who is standing in front of the building and he looks at Kagome who links her arm around his own and tilts his head confused "it's so no other guys get any ideas" she whispers.
"Oh..." he says lamely
Sesshoumaru steps towards them smirking "hello you two! I wondered when you would show up! You both look nice! Let's head inside." Sesshoumaru turns and opens the doors letting the booming sound system shaking every fiber in them and the follow him.
"can I enterest you two in a couple shots?" Sesshoumaru says as he closes the door to his office and Kagome shakes her head "I have to drive home"
"er...no thank you last time I drank I woke up feeling worse than when Naraku released miasma"
Sesshoumaru ignores them and hands them both Rum and Coke smiling when Kagome sighs and drinks it "I'll have someone drive you both home tonight...or..." He smiles darkly "you could stay here if you get too wasted"
Shippo sniffs the coke and gags "no thank you...it smells bad"
"suit yourself" Sesshoumaru mumbles and looks at them "I'm sure you've heard about the black dog around here correct?" The two nod slowly "It's the runt...I caught him watching your house not to long ago he seems intent on getting to you Kagome..."
Kagome shivers "so...I'm in danger?"
Shippo grabs her hand "no..." he growls "you're safe as long as I'm around."
Sesshoumaru smirks "you're still very safe Miko, my brother can't go near your house. It's a holy place surrounded by a magic force...he can't get through..."
Shippo narrows his eyes "I don't know..."
Sesshoumaru smiles "don't worry about it...I brought you two here to enjoy a night out." he smiles again "you both seemed tense and stressed out." Sesshoumaru looks up when Jerome opens the door "yes jerome?"
"those men you wanted to speak to are here..." Jerome scratches the back of his head.
"send them in, we're done..." Sesshoumaru smirks looking at Shippo who had stopped paying attention again and laughs causing him to jump "Kagome, do me a favor and wait outside for me...I wish to speak to the kitsune in private, Jerome tell the men to wait."

Shippo tilts his head looking at the smirking sesshoumaru after the two leave and he looks around awkwardly "sesshoumaru um..."
Sesshoumaru smiles again "you want to know the real reason I brought you two here?"
Shippo shrugs "I dunno...am I going to like the reason?"
Sesshoumaru chuckles "I would think so...I brought you here because you're obviously looking at the miko as a very potential mate. I can see it when you look at her fox."
Shippo's face flushes and he looks away "so what if I am...she loves Inuyasha...that damn dog hurts her all the time...and she still loves him." Shippo closes his eyes and then opens them again his eyes guarded causing Sesshoumaru to blink in surprise "Fox, you really love her don't you?" Shippo nods slowly "more than anything else in the world..."
Sesshoumaru sighs at Shippo "look, I brought you here in hopes of getting the miko drunk, but that wouldn't be right...so I'll tell you what.." Sesshoumaru digs through his desk and pulls out two slips of paper "you two need to be in a place where you're not under the pressure of The mutt, these are tickets to a Island near here, it's my own personal Island and only a few select people and some tourists who payed a heavy price know of it. You and Kagome go there for a month...to relax and perhaps even get close...but I warn you Kitsune, she may be reacting out of greif of losing my brother...but perhaps...there's feelings deeper in her" he chuckles handing Shippo the tickets "there's a boat that leaves tomorrow evening. Give these to the miko and get yourselves ready..." Shippo nods standing up "thank you sesshoumaru..." they both jump when there is a loud crash outside and screaming causing the two males to run out of the door to see a black dog and a large amount of men attack the people in the club.
Shippo feverishly looks around the club searching for Kagome and finds her running at the black dog gathering a pink orb of pure energy flies from her hand hitting the dog in the muzzle causing it to let out a shriek. Sesshoumaru whips his fingers in a swift fluid motion releasing poison from his claws hitting the men.
Shippo shifts into a fox and bites into the dog's neck with a growl "Stay away from my Kagome!"
Inuyasha growls at Shippo with a laugh "your Kagome?" a demonic voice echos through the building "No. Kagome is mine...she will forever be mine! He heart belongs to me. It always has!"
Kagome shivers and looks at Shippo who's looking at her "Kagome loves me,stupid little fox, Thought you would have a chance didn't you?...she'll never love you like she does me! Just give up!"
Shippo shakes his head his heart breaking when Kagome avoids his eyes and snarls "I won't ever give up mutt!" he steps towards Inuyasha with a growl. "I have more of a chance than you...you...you monster! You know why?, because...I never hurt Kagome like you did!" Shippo jumps and claws Inuyasha's nose and jumps backwards in front of Kagome "go ahead! Attack! I'm not afraid to be hurt. If it means Kagome is safe...then bring it!"
The group surround Shippo and Inuyasha watching intently wanting to see who beats who and suddenly scatter when Sirens sound allowing Inuyasha to attack the distracted Shippo biting his tail and slamming him onto the ground and disappears into the darkness.
–
Kagome screams running over to the bloody fox and picks him up "Shippo, please, don't die on me!"
Shippo groans looking up at Kagome "trying not to..."
Kagome shivers setting Shippo back down "shippo, I'm going to need you to change into a person...the police are coming...and we need to get you to a hospital..."
Shippo nods tiredly and changes into his normal form too weak to transform his feet and tail from existence, and listens to the people around him speak before slipping into a state of unconsciousness.
–
When Shippo awoke he was in a sterile white room with a slow steady beeping noise in the background. "ugh...where...where am I?" Shippo slowly sits up and blinks when he's hugged tightly by Kagome "k...kagome?"
Kagome looks at him and gives him a smile her eyes showing her relief "Shippo...you're okay!" she whispers causing him to tilt his head "why wouldn't I be Kagome?" He asks causing her to shake her head tears falling down her face. "I thought I was going to lose my favorite fox..."
Shippo looks away from her Inuyasha's words still ringing in his ears "but I'm still your second favorite..." he mutters causing her to grab his chin and looks him in the eyes "I thought about what you said Shippo...you're right." She whispers to him leaning in slightly.
"what?" he blinks causing her to smile.
"you were right...you haven't ever hurt me...I still don't know how I really feel...but I do know...I won't let you be alone...ever again" she leans in and kisses him softly making him smile slightly before pulling away. "did...did sesshoumaru give you the tickets?" he asks.
"yeah...when we check you out from the hospital we're gonna go to the island" She smiles "you've earned the break from the Bodyguard business" she giggles and stands up, "I'm going to go talk to the doctor...I'll be back" the door closes after Kagome walks out.
Sesshoumaru...your plan better work...Shippo shakes his head with a sigh laying back down staring at the ceiling.
Hah!
