"So, what are we thinking? Did you guys come up with possibilities?" Kagome asked.
"Nothing great. I mean, we don't want something elegant like Prince. We want something that will remind her of her new position," Shippo explained.
"Something embarrassing," Rin added. "Like Fluffy, or Fifi."
The miko grinned. "Both great suggestions."
"Yeah," the little girl said with a nod. "But they don't quite fit."
"You've got to have some good ideas, Kagome," Sango chimed in. "What do they name dogs in your time?"
The miko looked thoughtful. "Well, all kinds of things, really. I've never had a dog. Just a cat. There's so much to choose from. There's cutesie names like Sugar and Baby. A lot of people give their dogs people names, so there's a million options."
Miroku rubbed his chin while searching his mind for ideas. "A regular name would defeat the purpose of renaming her."
"What is her name, anyway? I've never heard it used," Kagome unknowingly repeated Shippo's earlier question to Rin.
"I asked Papa," Rin replied. "It's Manami."
"Beautiful love," Miroku said.
"That doesn't fit her at all," Sango added.
"Not even a little," Kagome agreed. "We definitely need to pick a more suitable name for her."
"She's lucky Inuyasha isn't here. He seems pretty determined to call her 'bitch'."
The miko's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's it, Miroku! That's perfect!"
"What's perfect?" the monk asked in confusion.
"Lucky! She's lucky she's living in the palace and lucky that Sesshoumaru didn't kick her out to fend for herself like she did him. She's still living the good life here. She's being fed, and she has a nice, warm room and a soft, albeit shredded bed. She's safe and protected. She has no idea what life would be like for her outside the palace, having to hunt her own food, find her own shelter, and defend herself."
Shippo grinned. "But she doesn't think she's lucky since she got turned into a dog. She'll hate it! It'll keep reminding her of her situation and the mess she got herself into."
"Is everyone in agreement, then?" Kagome asked. Everyone nodded, and the old Lady of the West was officially renamed 'Lucky'. She just didn't know it yet.
