Marking One's Turf

Kagome almost leapt out of the well on the Sengoku Jidai side of things; the days spent at home had not been as restful as she'd hoped.

It seemed the new dog had a crush on her – at least, he followed her everywhere, rubbed all over her, and didn't like anyone else touching her...

Not even her mother.

The whole thing was completely insane.

The final straw was when the dog, Fluffy, had tried to mark his turf, to put it bluntly.

She was not a fire hydrant, after all – and she wasn't about to be claimed as property by a dog.

On either side of time.

Unfortunately, the moment she crawled out of the well, a certain heavy aura settled over her, and she knew that their new erstwhile companion, Lord Sesshoumaru, had arrived.

“Why me?” she moaned pathetically. “I really, really, want a cat – why can't I be surrounded by cats instead of dogs?”

“Cats, miko?” Sesshoumaru sniffed at her, surprise almost freezing him for a moment – until he realized the connotations of his scent being all over her after she'd been gone for several days – and then he grinned inwardly.

So... I can reach her in both eras! I will so enjoy this - in both times, I am sure, he purred to himself. It is regrettable, however, that I must wait five hundred years to enjoy the other end of it...

“Yes, cats!” She tugged off her backpack at first sight of him and practically threw it on the ground in disgust. “What is it with you dogs, anyway?”

“Perhaps if you explained in more detail what you are asking about...?” he trailed off suggestively.

“Well, for one thing, why the hell do dogs have to run around and lift their leg to pee on everything in sight?” she shrieked.

Slightly taken aback, though he would never show it, he stared at her. After a moment, he asked, “A dog attempted to scent mark you, miko?”

She stared at him - stunned, and then she started yelling. “You mean that damn dog was trying to make me smell like piss?! What the hell for?!?”

Even if it has been five hundred years, I know that I would not have actually tried to scent mark her that way... so I must have been toying with her.

And then a dismaying thought crossed his mind.

Wait... five hundred years from now, and I am still chasing her? Surely, I am not that slow in reaching my desired goal...

That thought bothered him enough that he decided he was going to have to up his pursuit. He had planned to ease her into it, little by little – but he was not willing to take five hundred years.

That was a little too much, her delicate human sensibilities notwithstanding.

Realizing that she was still waiting for an answer, he said, “Apparently, the dog you speak of wished to claim you as his.” Brow raising at her horrified flush, he stepped closer to the irate woman-child. “I can take care of that problem for you, miko.”

Her eyes narrowed with suspicion immediately. “And just how do you intend to do that...?” she asked slowly.

“By scent marking you myself. I am, after all, the Lord of Inu... the Alpha of Alphas, so to speak.”

He barely managed to cover his ears before he completely lost all hearing, when she inhaled and screamed, enraged.

“WHAT??!! YOU WANT ME TO LET A FIFTY-FOOT TALL DOG PEE ON ME?!?!” echoed throughout Inuyasha's forest.

Perhaps I could have explained that better, he winced.
