Right Where He Belongs

 

Here, he had decided long ago, was where he belonged. Held securely in her arms, there was no ill that could touch him; and all he ever felt was acceptance and unconditional love. He would do anything to see that it stayed that way.

 

It hadn't always been this way, though. In the beginning it had been very rough, but he had been amazed at how very quickly that had changed. She had shown so much concern for him after their first fight together. It had touched him more deeply than he could ever admit…and he had decided then and there that he would do whatever it took to ensure his place beside her.

 

Of course, that had been a rather hard road as well. Almost as soon as he had become comfortable with the way things were, more people had joined their little quest; and it had become harder and harder to get her all to himself -- especially with that baka around.

 

There were times when he wished the guy would just give up and go away. It was so aggravating, the way he fawned over her so much. Kagome was his, and it was high time that dumb ass learned.

 

He grumbled drowsily and snuggled against her. Kagome shifted a bit in her sleeping bag, drawing him closer to her and tightening her hold. Shaking off his thoughts, Shippo yawned widely and finally settled down to sleep, his resolve renewed to keep her with him always.
