Puppy Love by Demon Selene

PUPPY!

Demon Selene: Hello everyone! This is my second fic my first Sesshomaru and Kagome fic. So I'm saying this in advance I am very very sorry for OOC (out of character) Sesshomaru or Kagome.

Chapter 1: PUPPY!

A tall demon with silver hair and molten golden eyes ran passed several trees dodging object after object that was being thrown at him. His movements were graceful and swift and his senses unrivaled by any other demon species, including his own Dog type. His name was Sesshomaru, demon Lord of the Western Lands.

It had not even been but a couple of hours since the thieves had infiltrated his castle intending to steal every treasure he held within its wall. He moved with such a grace that the missing appendage went unnoticed by everyone. The thrill of the hunt had his adrenalin shooting through his body, it felt like hot fire was running through his veins. It had been a long time since he had had a good chase and he decided that since he was being amused, he would bestow upon the thieves a slow and painful death. A small smirk threatened to appeared upon his face, the smirk that would make anyone shake with the dread of looking into the swirling red eyes of death itself. One of the thieves tripped in front of him forcing Sesshomaru to come to a stop. The thief before him would be the first kill of the night, the beginning of the massacre. After all, he was called the killing perfection for a reason.

"Stand, cretin," Sesshomaru's voice came out silkily and deadly as he stood high, staring down at the vermin beneath him. His face watched the creature, his stoic mask in place.

"Please don't kill me!" His nose twitched in annoyance at the disgusting halfbreed before him. Her eyes where a stormy gray and her hair was a long curly brown, the only thing that showed her demon features where her pointed ears and tail traits of a fox. She reeked of fear as her body shook violently as she sat on the ground. 'Weren't there enough Half breeds? Has the demon specious sunk so low as to consider humans worthy of mating.' He did not even reflect on the past that had created his half brother; instead, he chose a method of killing this halfbreed that shook before him. At least this one had the brains to beg even if it would do her no good. She had stolen from him, and the punishment for stealing from the western lord was death.

"I shall do what I please, wench." He replied in disgust as he stared down at the lowly creature before him. Sesshomaru raised his hand, ready to rid himself of this pest. His claws glowed an acid green there was no point in prolonging this worthless creature's existence. His claw descended fully intending to remove her head in one swipe, but a powerful shield repelled him sending him flying backwards. He recovered quickly managing to flip through the air and land on his feet. "You shall pay for your insolence! Mix breed." He growled at the new opposition that presented itself before them.

"Ayame!" The newcomer was a full demon, although she was considered as lowly as the halfbreed since she was a mixed breed, a mix of fox and dog demon. She was not as petite but still held a figure; her hair was longer, brown and curled with a pair of almost black brown eyes.

"It seems I will rid this world of two rodents this day." He remarked unfazed by the shield that had thrown him back. The women did not speak; instead they stared at him with defiance and fear. The mix breed turned to the halfbreed, and a hidden massage passed between them as they spoke in an unfamiliar tongue. The halfbreed stood and took the mixed breed's hands, and they stood side by side as energy revolved around them. He growled and made a run towards them hoping to kill them before they managed to finish their curse.

"Out of desperation for our lives

Great gods we call upon you

To save our lives from danger

To rescue us from treats

We who worship you ask for aid

To defeat an enemy we cannot destroy

Make him small, make him weak,

And teach him a lesson he'll never forget."

Sesshomaru stood frozen a few inches away from the two, his claw still extended and oozing with poison. His feet were stuck to the ground, and he was no longer able to move a single muscle in his body. A swirl of red and purple began to ascend from the ground beneath him. He berated himself at his own foolishness since he had not disposed of his enemies quickly enough and now they had managed to trap him. A terrible pain echoed through him once, twice, then a third time; his body felt as if it was collapsing upon it self. His vision suddenly went black, and he was no longer aware of what was going on around him.

"Come on, let's go! Someone is coming!" The mix breed remarked, pulling the halfbreed away from demon lord.

"Will he be okay?" The halfbreed asked, worry on her face as she stared down at the silver bundle known as the lord.

"Don't worry about it, he'll be fine!" With that they were both off, leaving the unconscious Sesshomaru on the ground.

After a couple of minutes, consciousness returned to him. His head throbbed horribly; he tried to feel for danger but nothing came to him, he could no longer feel the energies around him. He remained calm, impassive as he tested his other senses. He could still feel the ground underneath him that told him that his sense of touch was still intact. A horrible taste was profound in his mouth, displaying his second sense. He opened his eyes and looked around -- his sight was still intact although now it was less precise. He tried his sense of smell, and although the scents that came to him weren't as strong as before, he could still smell. Finally, he listened to see if any sounds came to his ears. He heard running and soon a figure broke through the trees in front of him. The clouds moved away from the moon and the clearing was covered in silver white light. A women broke through the foliage of the trees, stopping as she stepped into the clearing. She stood tall through her ragged breaths, her white skin a sharp contrast with the her long raven hair. She wore an unusual kimono- a strange green, red and white top with a solid green bottom. The kimono was short, leaving him with a perfect view of her long legs. She intently stared at the foliage before, her waiting for whatever was pursuing her. He waited for her to acknowledge him; he knew it was impossible to miss his figure since he was such a contrast compared to the dark background of the forest. Yet the women before him made no move to acknowledge him. For a second he wondered if she was frozen in place, the scent of fear being dominant in her scent. His theory on that was quickly disproved as the women before him moved her hand onto her back, where she grasped an arrow and brought it forward in a graceful movement notching it onto a bow. She pulled it back and aimed it at the gap between the trees that stood in front of her.

"Please hit! Please hit!" The women closed her eyes and repeated this phrase several times, her voice desperate as she spoke between ragged breaths. Sesshomaru let out a growl, a warning telling her to turn and acknowledge him, yet she made no move. His angered seared-how dare this human wench not acknowledge HIM, the Lord of the West, the strongest ruler in the world.

Kagome ran as fast as she could through the trees, the branches tearing at her clothes and her skin. A loud roar behind her made her jump. Her lungs burned and her legs were painfully beginning to cramp-if she didn't stop soon, she would collapse and lose all hope of surviving. She broke through the trees and stumbled upon an empty clearing. In one fluent movement Kagome stopped and turned around, her eyes fixed behind her. After a second, she clearly caught sight of the glowing jewel shard; she notched an arrow to her bow and aimed it at the trees. Sesshomaru growled menacingly as the arrow in the women's hand glowed pink in purity; the growl though went unnoticed by the miko, who stood ready to shoot.

"Please hit! Please hit! Please hit!" She knew how to use a bow and arrow now if only she could aim it. She took a deep breath 'I hope I get lucky.' The glow of the jewel shard got brighter as the demon came within inches of reaching her.

"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!" She was shaking visibly as she waited 'any second now.'

"PLEASE!" Then she saw him the demons behind the trees. She aimed her hand only waiting for the first hint of him to appear.

"WOOF!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

BOOM

The clearing was covered by a pink light for several seconds when it finally faded the only thing left was smoke. Kagome blinked in awe from the ground trying to blink away the dots that danced in front of her eyes.

"I did it!" Kagome laughed happily lying back on the grass her eyes closed. "I can't believe it I did it! Wait but what was the sound I heard earlier." She looked around and stopped transfixed to the silver figure beside her.

Sesshomaru was in shock, he had just barked. He tried to stand on his legs but fell forward onto his hands................................Hands? He looked hands yes he had two but the fact that they where covered in fur left him slightly confused. How could he be covered in fur when he wasn't in his demon form.

"AAAAWWWWWWW YOU'RE SO CUTE!!!" Sesshomaru felt himself unceremoniously picked up and thrown into the air only to be caught as he fell. He gave an angry snarl trying desperately to harm the miko that was treating him like a toy. But his claws only left red impressions that disappeared as soon as they were made and his teeth had the affects of light pinches. "Aren't you just the cutest little doggy there is." He was crushed against her bosom and for a second he didn't mine, since he wasn't being thrown into the air like a toy, that was until hug got too tight and he was left fighting for breath. She finally released her hung on him and he took huge gulps of air as he leaned against her. "So what are doing out here, little fellow?"

'Avoiding crazy mikos such as yourself!' Sesshomaru thought as he began to breathe normally once again.

"Where's your owner, Miroku said that there wasn't a village nearby for

day." Kagome commented. "Poor thing you must be a stray." She stared down at the pup in her arms tenderly. The puppy in her hand was small prabably half the size of Kilala with pure snow white fur that covered beautifully his ears where long and hung down while his long tail hung behind him silkingly.

'This Sesshomaru is no stray miko.' He growled knowing full well that anything

else he might do would do her no damage.

"Stop that!" Sesshomaru was caught by surprise as he felt a light strike against his nose and could nothing except looked at the miko before him in shock he glared at the miko angrily.

'How dare you strike me women.' It registered somewhere in his head that no matter what he said the miko could not understand him and no matter what he did he could not harm her but that she could easily harm him.

"Maybe your mother's somewhere around here," Kagome smiled as she brought the still glaring pup to eye level. "What do you say we look for your mom until Inuyasha and the others fine me!" She smiled and stood up the puppy still in her arms and she began her search. Sesshomaru almost growled as it registered to him where he had seen this women before, his brother's bitch, his nose filled with his brother's lingering retched scent that now seemed to over power the miko's own. Kagome looked around looking for another dog, since she had no idea on how she was going to find puppy's mother she decided to just walk around in hopes of running into it.

'What's Inuyasha's wench doing wondering alone?' It had already been a long time since the miko had started walking, he had long ago abandoned his attempts of escape and now just hung loosly in her arms as if he were toy.

"You know the only reason I'm even here is because that jerk had to drag me back so he could start hunting his precious shards." Kagome began to rant since her thoughts had turned back as to why she was alone in the woods at night, cold, hungry, and alone. She looked down at the small puppy in her arms to fine him staring at her curiously, no she wasn't alone. "If it wasn't for you I'd not only be lost in the middle of nowhere cold, hungry and hurt but I would also be alone."

'And this matters to me why?' Sesshomaru asked himself.

"As if that wasn't bad enough he made us walk all day without a single break and when he finally decided to call it a day we were attacked. I swear when I see him I'm going to give him a piece of my mine and then maybe sit him a few dozen times." Sesshomaru glanced up at the giggling miko.

'Sit?' The miko nodded.

"Yep I'm going to sit him till he's on the other side of the world." Kagome exclaimed happily wondering just how many sits it would take for that to happen.

"KAGOME!" Sesshomaru's ears rose as he heard the voice of another female. The miko continued to walk no having picked up the call.

"I wonder where the others are?" Kagome wondered as she sat down next to a tree.

"LADY KAGOME!" this time the voice of a male sounded closer as they moved closer to where he and the miko rested. He looked towards the miko.

'Honestly how weak can human hearing be?' Sesshomaru wondered as a third call sounded threw the forest.

"KAGOME!" This time he was sure she must have heard no one could possibly miss the annoying sound of his half brother's screech.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed as she heard his voice off in the distance. Sesshomaru watched as the miko's eyes gained a shine in her that left him wondering just what could possibly leave such a radiant beauty on her face. "Lets go I'm sure if anyone can fine your mother it'll be Inuyasha!" She stood suddenly and ran making her way back the way they had come from.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha broke threw the foliage before them and immediately enveloped both Sesshomaru and Kagome in a hug.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked a blush appearing on her face as she felt his arm hold her tightly. Sesshomaru glared at the red kimono that belonged to his brother trying very very hard from becoming sick right then and there. It was obvious by the stench his brother gave off that he hadn't bathed in several days. He noticed his position in front of his brother and could clearly hear the approaching footsteps of his little pack.

"Stupid you should have trusted me to keep you safe." Sesshomaru once again felt at the verge of sickness but fought it off instead concentrating at the matter at hand. Working his jaws seeing as he had no thumbs to work with he soon had a hold of what he wanted.

"Inuyasha did you fine her!" Kagome felt Inuyasha move out of the way quickly as Inuyasha moved away from her. The halfbreed immediately moved away quickly as if he had been burned and Sesshomaru could not help but thank the gods that he had not been forced to revert to other tactics to get him off. Sesshomaru smirked at his handy work as his brother's friend burst threw the trees.

"Inuyasha!?" Sango remarked as she did a quick flip and placing her hands over her eyes Inuyasha stood only a few feet away from Kagome naked from the waist down. Kagome looked down and turned crimson quickly following Sango example and turning around. Sesshomaru growled in disappointment he wanted to see his brother's humiliation.

"It's not what you think!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he grabbed his pants and pulled them up.

"Tell me Inuyasha what exactly are we suppose to think?" Miroku asked as he raised an eyebrow in a suggestive mode.

"My sash it it it..." Inuyasha looked around and noticed that his red sash was coming from Kagome. He forcefully took hold of it and yanked it and Sesshomaru from Kagome's grip.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome remarked as she felt the puppy being torn from her hand, "Give him back." Inuyasha raised his sash so as he could stare at the mutt that had his jaws still attached to his sash.

"YOU FRICKEN MUTT THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Inuyasha shouted angrily. Sesshomaru smirked as he hung from the end of the red sash.

'It quite befitting seeing as I had to stand your disgusting stench halfbreed.' Sesshomaru thought to himself. 'Go take bath.'

"Inuyasha stop it!" He felt himself gently picked away from the sash, once he was safely in the miko's arms again he allowed the sash to fall from his mouth.

"That mutt just made a fool of me!" Inuyasha shouted angrily.

'If you weren't so small then maybe you wouldn't have been made a fool of.' Sesshomaru smirked.

"Inuyasha he didn't mean it he's nothing but a puppy." Kagome defended him.

'On the contrary miko it was not only intentional I enjoyed the look of humiliation on the halfbreed.' Sesshomaru retorted.

"Feh!" Inuyasha said as he looked away. "Why are you even caring that thing anyways?"

"Cause I found him," Kagome said she knew very well that she sounded like a child but she wasn't about to leave him there alone in a demon infested forest. "He was all alone and I couldn't just leave him, he's only a puppy. Help me fine his mother, Please?" Sesshomaru looked at the look the miko had in her eyes, The look she possessed was one not even he could resist. He knew that by experience seeing that Rin had already used it against him several times.

"Feh," Inuyasha lifted his head up in the air and took several sniffs. "There's no mother."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed.

"What I'm not lying there's not a fricken mutt near here for days!" Inuyasha shouted back at Kagome.

"Then you really are a stray." Kagome remarked looking down at the puppy in her hands. "Well then I can't just leave you here alone."

"Damn it Kagome you're not bringing that mutt with us." Inuyasha exclaimed.

"And why not, he's got no where else to go. And don't you even dare tell me to leave him here alone." Kagome shouted back. Sesshomaru watched the exchange in amusement, it seemed his brother wasn't even an ideal pack leader. "I'm keeping him and that's that!"

"I don't care, you are not going to bring him along and that is that!" Inuyasha stated as he crossed his hands repeating her phrase.

"INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru turned his focus to the change in the miko's voice in curiosity.. "SIT BOY!"

CRASH!

Sesshomaru turned his head and found himself ready to laugh the half breed face was plastered about two inches into the ground.

'A befitting place.' He thought with a smirk. 'maybe being this miko's pet won't be so boring after all.'

Demon Selene: So what did you think? Please Review and tell me. You'll make me very happy if you do.
