The Taming of the Pup
Kagome sighed in irritation.
Things had actually been going fairly well the last several weeks since the incident with the neko interrupting their baths – until she'd gotten the strange feeling that something was up with Inuyasha.
Now, anything going wrong with that boy was usually an immediate problem – so she was understandably concerned that whatever was up with him, was definitely different – and that was cause for worry.
What she couldn't figure out, was what the problem was.
Okay, think dog. What would I think of his actions, if I were looking at a dog?
She frowned. No... too many of his actions seem to be rather more human than inu – I've never seen true inu being secretive. They don't really care who sees what, she thought, her mind taking her back to Sesshoumaru's show and tell when he was in his dog form. Her mind turned disgruntled as certain parts of her body warmed at the memory. Naked is naked, indeed, she huffed to herself. Not when it's Sesshoumaru, it's not.
Anyway, she thought to herself peevishly, pushing that memory out of her mind with rather more force than usual, I need to stop thinking Sesshoumaru, and start thinking Inuyasha. There couldn't be two more different dogs out there than those brothers.
Kagome was not the only one to notice Inuyasha's preoccupation, and disappearing acts – Sesshoumaru himself also picked up on his brother's state of mind, but was also just as mystified. As Kagome had thought, most dogs were not that secretive... except when it came to hiding something they felt was theirs, and that was being threatened by another dog. That last thought left the daiyoukai with narrowed eyes and an even narrower temper – the whelp had better not be thinking about what he, Sesshoumaru, suspected he was thinking about...
He was.
Inuyasha had always considered Kagome his property, his mind sinking into his inu instincts with regards to the futuristic miko, and with Sesshoumaru stomping all over his scent markers and claims – and warnings – the way he was, his instincts had kicked into high gear.
Unfortunately for him, Kagome was not inu – and she was not going to be appreciative of what was about to happen.
Several days after Kagome and Sesshoumaru had become suspicious of Inuyasha's behavior, they got into a small battle with a stupid, rather weak youkai that attacked first, of all people, Sesshoumaru – giving Inuyasha his best chance. Streaking over to where Kagome was still standing watching the fight, he grabbed her, and took off at high speed, completely ignoring the young woman's highly irate voice in his ear telling him that he was going to shortly be in a great deal of pain.
Finally, he seemed to arrive at his destination, setting her back on her feet in a small cave that was set up with firewood and furs to sleep on. It was clear that this is where he'd been disappearing to for the last several days. Kagome looked around, and then scowled at the suddenly slightly nervous inu hanyou.
“Do you mind telling me,” she started in a rather ominously quiet voice, “just what you think you are doing?”
Inuyasha cringed just like any dog who'd been a bad little puppy and upset the master, but stood firm regardless, and spoke.
What he said sealed his fate.
“Look, you're mine. You've always been mine – and Sesshoumaru knows it! He comes in here running all over my scent claims, and now I'm going to put a stop to that. I'm going to claim you as mine, completely, and then that bastard will have to give up and go away and stop raining on my festival!” he growled, getting pissed again as he thught about the elder inu's actions. He was so busy with that that he missed the explosion about to happen right on his doorstep.
Until it started – and then he noticed it just fine. Suddenly, he rather thought that he'd prefer to be facing Sesshoumaru.
Hands clenched at her sides, eyes snapping with furious fire, the miko inhaled, and then let loose on a garbled shriek.
“You stupid dog! I don't belong to you, or anyone else, for that matter, I'm my own person! SIT!” She waited until he slammed into the solid rock with a satisfied air, and then continued on with her rant. “I don't care about scents and claims and stupid crap like that, and if you ever try something like this again, you'll never ever have to miss Kikyou – because I'll slam you so hard you'll dig your own hole straight to hell to join her little party! SIT! And another thing! You...”
Sesshoumaru, who had finally found his way to the cave his brother had disappeared to, settled back to watch the contretemps with a satisfied air – he'd been about to beat his brother to a pulp, but he decided that this was a better way, and a very amusing sight. That sit command just never got old, and he leaned against the cave entrance with folded arms and a highly amused air.
He did, however, frown, as he heard her claim that she did not belong to anybody. It looked like he'd have to take her off somewhere himself and remind her that she did belong to someone – namely him. He'd forgive her this mistake, however – she was highly irate at the moment, and anyone in that situation was bound to be forgetful, he decided magnanimously.
Eventually, however, the repeated earthquakes from the sits began to grow annoying, and the daiyoukai reluctantly decided to intervene – especially as the hole his brother was in was now so deep that they'd have to find a rope to get him out of it. The whelp had finally learned his lesson at about the three thousand foot level, and stopped trying to assert claims over the girl, staying silent with ears plastered to his head as he waited for another sit.
Boy is stubborn, I'll give him that, Sesshoumaru thought as he stepped up and looked down into the hole, almost squinting to catch sight of the small red dot at the bottom that was his brother. Another thousand feet or so, and her threat about meeting his former undead lover in hell would be a simple statement of fact. You think he would have learned after the first thousand feet. Ah, well, this day has certainly been entertaining.
“Miko, I think you have made your message clear. Desist, before you bring the entire cave system down on us – or had you not noticed the dust and rocks falling around you?”
Kagome, breathing hard and still furious, eyed the big Inu narrowly, then huffed and turned around to stomp out of the cave, muttering the whole while. “Damn dogs need to learn their places – it's the dogs that belong to the humans, and I'm the human. So if anything belongs to anyone, it'd be them belonging to me!”
Sesshoumaru almost choked when he heard that, and suddenly losing interest in staring at his brother's newest self-created canyon, he turned and took off after the mouthy miko, intent on teaching her a lesson.
Nobody owned Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru owned everybody else. He was top dog, and everything he laid his eyes on belonged to him should he so choose for it to do so.
And she belonged to him.
For the second time that day, Kagome found herself thrown over someones back and being hauled off like nothing so much as a sack of potatoes...
With an evil glint to her eye that Sesshoumaru couldn't, of course, see, she began to think on ways to punish a dog that was being bad, but didn't have subjugation beads.
Unfortunately for Sesshoumaru, she quickly figured something out...
And it would certainly get the Inu's attention.
But that was for later – right now, she would simply enjoy the show... that damn youkai did, after all, have a mighty fine ass... and it was practically right-in-her-face.
Yum!

A/N: Look, an update, finally! I apologize for the long wait, but this last few months the funny just hasn't been around. And even now, its morphine-induced funniness, from my trip to the ER last night, so I'm not entirely certain I'd even think it was amusing if I was sober. However, hopefully, you all, the readers, will find something about all these words amusing, and will ignore the slight cliffie I left for ya'll – the next installment will let everyone in on Sesshoumaru's 'punishment', and what it's going to be.
