A giant paw stepped in front of her face, nearly knocking Kagome over before she even had the chance to say, "Fuck, I am so, so screwed."

The huge white dog stared down at the little human, head cocked and ears perked as it listened to her ramble on about how dead she was.

On the contrary, she wasn't going to be dead. . . Inspected? Maybe. Prodded? Yes. Dead? Of course not.

His slightly scratch and wet nose snuffled at the ground near her feet. She smelled oddly familiar, the scent of his family's blood-line floated around her like a fine mist.

Well, whoever she was near to that smelled like his family... also happened to smell awful at the same time. Like a wet dog that rolled in the mud, rolled in something dead and then fell into a pile of fish guts.

The beastly and demonic canine sneezed, nearly blowing Kagome half way across the clearing.

First thing first, this little human needed a bath and, damn it, she was going to get it!

It wasn't long until Kagome was torso-in-jaws of the giant, overgrown cocker spaniel-like dog, and being taken to a water source via dog-trot.

~~~~*~~~~

"Aurggg!" Kagome raged about between the canine's teeth, thrashing wildly, and quite in vain if I do say so myself, trying to get him to release her. "Put me down you overgrown schnauzer!"

Sesshoumaru's tongue laved at her hip...which was between his jaws. He huffed and stared down his snout at the female flailing her arms about crazily. "Rggg."

Kagome quit flopping immediately.

'Not working...not working...not working...' She chanted to herself as her brain franticly scurried around trying to think up an escape route. "Ooh! Look! InuYasha!"

Sesshoumaru's tangy breath just panted around her body, buffeting her sleeves which were hanging quite uselessly from her body. Okay, so she had been in the Feudal era for how many years now and she still hadn't worked up much muscle mass. Oh well. Right?

She eyeballed around noticing the clearing they were in. It was a sort of pond-lake that their group had stopped at not too long ago. Maybe it was a half a day's walk from Kaede's village...hopefully. Perhaps Kagome could escape whilst the canine-Sesshoumaru was romping about? Surely he wouldn't notice her once his sights were set upon something else.

She hoped that once a demon reverted to its bestial form they had a mind of a beast as well? Like a big friendly Great Dane or something?

God she hoped so because if he doesn't then she'd have a snowball's chance in hell of escaping from this lumbering tri-legged beastie-boy.

No sooner had she thought of escaping she was dropped unceremoniously from her captor's jaws and into the pond-lake.

"Sherrperllett!" She spluttered, coughing up the cool water. "What the hell was that for!? Aughh!"

His floppy ears swayed in the breeze as he cocked his head to one side. Had he been a puppy in a store window he'd have been saying "Excuse you, what are you doing?"

Kagome floundered to shore only to have his big nose push her back in waist deep. "What?"

His paw pushed gently on her head, dunking her under the water for a few frightening moments. Is he going to drown me? OH NO! NO I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! I haven't even had ...sex.

Kagome's brain pitter-pattered around trying to get some semblance of order from this rather confusing ordeal.

She had yet to figure out why he was like he was. Better yet, why wasn't she dead already and WHY was he so interested in her?

He never had any interest what so ever before. Other than that one time that she had pulled Tetsusaiga from its resting place and he hadn't been able to. It wasn't really attention that she got from him, more like a death order that he was more than willing to carry out.

Maybe he was attacked? Perhaps that caused him to shift. But then again if he killed his attackers shouldn't his bloodlust be over with?

Oh god. Maybe he wants me clean so he can taste my VIRGIN BLOOD?

Oh no.

And so was the last thought of the night to roll across her mind as she tipped forward into the sandy dirty banks of the pond-lake. Sesshoumaru barely had 10 seconds to catch her before she acquired a rather large bump on her head.

Well, at least he made a great fluffy cushion.

~~~*~~~~

"Rggg...Roarf!" Sesshoumaru snuffed around her body, trying to awaken her but to no avail. She was out cold.

Why? He had no clue. One minute she was soaking and then the next she was teetering towards him, quite obviously blacking out.

The poor beast was so confused. Why was this little human so sleepy? And most of all why wasn't she waking up?

Oh well, if she was sleeping then she wouldn't have the ability to run away. Also it was not like he was about to sleep any time soon. For if he took a snooze, his humanoid counterpart was sure to take control again and for the love of God he was NOT going to let that happen for a good 3 days or so. Being trapped in such...solitary confinement for so long can take its toll on a poor dog like himself.

Plus, he desperately wanted to know why this woman smelled like family and why in the world had she fought so hard to get away. Many females adore his true form. After all, who wouldn't want to snuggle his soft curly-furred ears?

Well, by the time she woke up he'd have something for her to eat.

If she did manage to escape; it wouldn't be for long. Canines do, after all, have the best noses in all the animal kingdom. It would probably take maybe 3 minutes tops to track her down if she did get a head start.

Sesshoumaru's beast sighed in happiness. The grass between his furred dog-toes was just the release he needed. Being cooped up too long can drive a dog mad.

Nobody likes a mad dog.

'Mad dogs are bad dogs!' Sesshoumaru-beast chanted as it searched for prey, a delightful bounce in its steps.

Now, all he had to do was relax and wait for his little human to awaken from her sleep.

~~~~*~~~~

A/N: Okay so this is purely for my amusement on what would happen if Sesshoumaru randomly lost control of his puppy-cute-furry side and it had a "While the cat (or dog in this situation) is away, the mice will play" sort of thing. In my mind, Sesshoumaru's beast would be a 'puppy-at-heart' sort of beast and quite loveable unless provoked.

Also one more question.

If Sesshoumaru's ears in his true form are floppy....Why are InuYasha's ears all pointy? Seriously, think about that. It has been bothering me for like the past few weeks.

You can review if you want. Remember: No flames. Also I do LOVE constructive criticism or just nice comments. Actually scratch that. Like I've said before I'm a skankbutt for reviews.

And I'm also a crazy cat lady. Have you EVER found a cat's belly button? =| I'm done.
