The Puppy by Riku Ryuu

Training Puppies

Oops, I uploaded this to the wrong story at first and I have no idea how I did it. Anyway, this is for Skye's Demonstration challenge.

Enjoy.

Sesshomaru walked into the game room and stood blinking at the scene before him in surprise.  Kagome was on her knees with her hand extended in front of her where Dolly and Dragon sat. Dolly was sniffing at Kagome’s hand, obviously no knowing what her mistress wanted. Dragon stared off over Kagome’s shoulder, completely ignoring the human in front of him. A bag of dog treats sat behind Kagome, unable to be seen by the two puppies but they could probably both smell it.

“What are you doing?” Sesshomaru asked finally, having no idea what she could be trying.

Kagome looked up from the Dalmatians and gave Sesshomaru a beautiful smile that reminded him why he loved her.

“I’m trying to teach the dogs some tricks but they refuse to work with me.” She moved her hand away and sighed. “I was trying to teach them ‘shake’ but I don’t think they are getting it.”

Sesshomaru shook his head at her, amused by the trick she wanted them to learn.

“Don’t you think you should start with the important skills? Sit, stay, don’t eat that; those are needed to be polite.” Kagome scowled at his comments.

“Well, I think Dragon has stay down.” She turned to the male puppy that was not even looking at her. “Dragon, stay.”

Both humans watched as the puppy got to his feet and nonchalantly padded away without a backward look. Dolly stumbled to her feet and ran after him.

“I guess we need to work on that.”

Sesshomaru shook his head and started out of the room.

“Oh no you don’t!” Kagome sprang to her feet and grabbed Sesshomaru’s arm. “I have an idea on how to get them to understand, but I need your help.”

“Hmm… I just remembered that I have… work.” Kagome’s eyes narrowed at his pauses.

“If you don’t help me you will be sleeping on the couch.” She said with a scowl. Sesshomaru winced.

“What did you have in mind?” He asked reluctantly. Kagome’s scowl turned into a grin.

“I knew you would see things my way.”

Sesshomaru waited on the couch for Kagome to round up the puppies, wishing somewhat that she would not be able to find them. Dolly was very slippery and Dragon did not go where he did not want to go, so the chances were on his side.

His hopes were dashed when Kagome entered the room with one hyper puppy and one that did not seem to care what was happening. She placed the Dalmatians on the floor and looked at Sesshomaru expectantly. Sesshomaru sighed and slid from the couch to the floor. Both puppies watched, Dolly confused and Dragon curious, as Sesshomaru, the alpha of the group, crawled on hands and knees to Kagome.

“Sesshomaru, shake.” Kagome said, putting out a hand for him.

Sesshomaru lifted one of his hands and put his hand in hers. After a moment, Kagome let go of Sesshomaru and got a dog treat out. Sesshomaru just looked at her and she put it in front of his face. One eyebrow went up on his face and the treat was taken from her and placed back in the bag. Sesshomaru returned to his seat.

“Do you think that it worked?” Kagome asked. “I was hoping a demonstration would teach them.”

“Try it on them now.”

Kagome put out her hand.

“Dragon, shake.”

Neither puppy moved.

“Dolly, shake.”

Nothing.

“Sesshomaru?”

Two paws moved to her hand.
