Little Inuyasha

The next morning Kagome woke up to a gentle nip to her ear.

"Hm?" She mumbled sleepily.

"It's time to get up love." Sesshomaru said nuzzling her.

"Just ten more minuets." She mumbled.

He smirked. "You best get up love. This Sesshomaru will toss you in the pond if you don't."

"Yeah sure whatever." She mumbled still half asleep.

"Alright. You were warned." He walked over to the koi pond and tossed her in. He laughed when she came back up sputtering.

"I didn't know you desired a bath so badly love."

She gave him a death glare. "SESSHOMARU!!!! You are so dead!"

Sesshomaru smirked. "You'll have to catch me first." He said before taking off.

"Get back here!" She yelled. Even though she was fast, her speed was no match for Sesshomaru's. Everyone was in the dojo when Sesshomaru ran in like the hounds of hell were on his tail.

"Whoa! Where's the fire Sess?" Inuyasha asked as he bumped into him knocking him down.

"Well I-" Sesshomaru was cut off when a soaking wet Kagome entered the dojo.

"YOU!!" She yelled glaring at him.

"I think I'll take my leave now." Sesshomaru said as he fled out of the room.

Kagome growled. "Get back here you overgrown dog!" She yelled chasing after him.

Kai lifted a brow. "Well that was interesting."

Inuyasha laughed. "How much do ya wanna bet that he's gonna be wearing a set of beads before the day is over?"

"Hm. I wonder what his command will be?" Miroku said.

"I hope it's somethin embarrassing. He needs to be knocked down off of that high horse of his anyways." Inuyasha said. Later on a dry and smug Kagome came down for lunch with a pleading Sesshomaru behind her.

"Please love."

"Nope. You deserve it." She said smirking.

Everyone looked at them like they were nuts. They were all wondering what could possibly make the proud taiyoukai beg. That's when Inuyasha saw it. He burst out laughing when he saw the black and silver beads around Sesshomaru's neck.

"See? What did I tell ya guys? I knew he'd be gettin his own set of beads sooner or later." Inuyasha said as he continued to laugh.

"Silence pup!" Sesshomaru said growling.

Inuyasha smirked. "So what's his word Kagome?"

"I'll gladly show you." She said smiling wickedly.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened. "Please don't love! I'll be good. I promise!" He begged.

"Sesshomaru...DOWN BOY!!"

"Ah!" He yelped as he was body slammed to the floor. She smiled and skipped merrily to her place at the table. Everyone laughed as he struggled to get up.

"Oh you shoulda seen the look on your face!" Inuyasha said laughing so hard he had tears coming out of his eyes.

"Hn." Sesshomaru said as he stood up and walked over to his seat blushing.

Kai lifted a brow. "Why Sesshomaru, I beleive I've never seen you blush before." He teased. Sesshomaru just ignored him as he ate. When lunch was over Kai sighed. 'It's time.' He thought to himself.

"What's wrong dad?"

"You need to go prepare to meet your intended. Make sure you wear your best outfit. I need for you three to come with me to my study." He told Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Kouga.

"Why do we gotta come?" Inuyasha asked confussed.

"Sesshomaru is going to be there to challenge her intended mate. As for you two, you will be there as witnesses." Kai said turning to leave.

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru sadly. "I don't want to be with anybody else but you." She said as she began to cry.

He wrapped his arms around her. "Don't cry love. This Sesshomaru WILL win this challenge and then you'll be mine. I love you Kagome. Never forget that."

"I love you too Sess." She said. He caressed her face before kissing her hungrily.

"Yo Sess! Come on! Kai's waitin!" Inuyasha yelled.

Sesshomaru kissed her forehead. "Wait for me love." He said smiling before following Inuyasha out of the room.

"Kagome? You ok?" Sango asked.

Kagome sighed. "Not really."

Sango smiled. "Don't worry Kagome. Sesshomaru will beat this other guy." She said trying to calm her friend.

"Yeah Kagome! He's like the strongest demon ever! Nobody can beat him!" Shippo said smiling.

"Now why don't I go help you get ready?" Sango offered.

Kagome smiled. "I'd like that."

"Wonderful! I would be honored to help you as well lady Kagome. After all you'll need a mans opinion." Miroku said smiling.

"You pervert!" Sango yelled knocking him upside the head.

Miroku sighed. "I just adore forceful women. Did I ever tell you that you're cute when you're angry?" He asked with a dreamy smile. Sango smacked him upside the head again.

"Shippo?"

"Yeah Sango?"

"Would you do something for us? Make sure this lech stays here. Come on Kagome." She grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her from the room.

Miroku sighed. "I'm so misunderstood."

"Idiot." Shippo said shaking his head.

While all of this was going on, Kai, Kouga, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru waited for Kagome. Sesshomaru paced back and forth. He wanted Kagome's intended to hurry up and get there so that he could challenge him. Then after he won he could make her his mate. That wasn't the only reason he was so restless though. Kagome had just started her heat cycle and his beast wanted to mate and pup her.

"Damn it Sess! Will ya stop pacing already! You're makin me dizzy!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Shut up!" Sesshomaru yelled glaring at him.

"S-sorry Sh-Shomu." He said nervously when Sesshomaru glared at him with red eyes. Kai chuckled. He knew what was wrong with him. He'd caught a whiff of Kagome's scent at lunch. It appeared he'd be getting grandpups soon.

"Is there a problem Sesshomaru?" Kai asked smirking knowingly. Sesshomaru's face reddened in embarrassment. He knew that Kai knew what was wrong with him.

"No."

"Are you sure? It doesn't have anything to do with Kagome does it?" Kai said smirking.

"Talking about me behind my back huh?" Kagome said walking into the room. Sesshomaru took one look at her and gasped. She looked like an angel. Her dress was white with shear long sleaves. It hugged her curves perfectly and flowed down past her ankles. Her hair was done up with baby's breath. She wore a pearl necklace and pearl earrings.

"Well? What do you think?" She asked with a smile. Sesshomaru walked over to her and caressed her face.

"You look beautiful love." He whispered before drawing her into his arms for a gentle kiss.

"Ahem. I beleive we're all here for a reason." Kai said interrupting them.

Kagome sighed. "Sorry." She said sadly.

Sesshomaru held her hand. "Don't worry love. I WILL win this challenge and make you mine." He said kissing her forehead.

"Actually Sesshomaru, you won't be able to beat him." Kai said smugly.

Sesshomaru glared at him. "Do you doubt this Sesshomaru's ability to defeat a foe?" He growled.

Kai smiled. "Not at all my boy. You see, Kagome's intended is very strong and possessive. Not many have defeated him in battle."

"Get to the point Kai!" Sesshomaru growled.

"No need to get testy now."

"Dad!!" Kagome yelled in frustration.

Kai chuckled. "Alright, alright. Kagome, allow me to introduce you to your intended."
