Chapter One

~Seven Years Later~

Sesshoumaru jumped onto the violet quilt, his giant paws pawed at the lump underneath the cover. After a moment, he pushed his cool nose under the cover and start licking on the face that is hidden beneath it. The girl shifted away from his face. He growled at her, pawing at her shoulder. When she remain stubborn in her dream world, he nipped her neck. Kagome giggled, “Stop that!!”

“I would if you wake up, priestess!” Sesshoumaru growled at her. Kagome of course wouldn’t be able to understand him, still she had a feeling that he is talking to her. Sometime she replied to him as if she understood him since her replies never detoured away from the subjects that he growled at her. Kagome smiled at the canine in front of her, “Good morning, Lord Sesshoumaru,” She greeted. He sniffed at her greet, “Morning! But if you keep moving at that pace, you will be late for school!” He barked. She yawned and stretches her muscles. Sesshoumaru have long left the room to provide her privacy.

“Morning, Kagome!”

Kagome look at her Aunt Greta as she walk down the stairs. Sesshoumaru look at her with a chiding look in his eyes for her slow pace. He growled and start pulling at her long skirt. Kagome yelped, “Lord Sesshoumaru!! My skirt! If you keep this up, you will rip it! And by Lord! It’s my favorite!!” Sesshoumaru only reply in a growl is, “You have a dozen others,” Kagome rolled her eyes at him. She sat at the table and start pouring her cereal, “Start of a new year and a new semester…” She mused. Greta smiled at her nephew, “And also the start to find a perfect prom mate,”

“Aunt Greta! Stop that! It is still too far away!” Choke Kagome, almost drowning herself in her orange juice. Sesshoumaru barked, “Prom mate? Mate?” He look at Greta. Greta ignored him and continued, “Girl! The perfect prom mate has got to be a boyfriend from the start of the year. It is only right! It makes the experience that much more special!” She day dreamed. Although it is a little too late for her, she want Kagome to have the sweetest memory ever! Sesshoumaru barked, “It is still not yet the time for her to find a mate! This Sesshoumaru wouldn’t allow it!” He pawed to the door and barred it with his giant size.

Kagome and Greta look at him. Kagome chewed on her cereal, “And he was the one that rushes me around to get to school this morning,” After a while, Kagome tricked pass the dog and jumped on her bicycle, rushing off to school, “Wish me luck!!” She cried out, disappearing from sight. Back at the cottage, Sesshoumaru is barking furiously, “Do not find a mate!! I’m telling you that if you did, I WILL have his head!!!”

Greta shakes her head at the dog’s antic. He goes frantic whenever a boy comes near Kagome. Surely he can’t be that competitive for the girl’s attention. She sighed when he look at her as if this is all her fault, “She will find a family one day, you know. You can’t have her all for yourself,” She mused. Sesshoumaru stared at the woman’s back before turning his attention back to the porch. He sat there, waiting for her to get ready for her work. Greta works at a pet shop, the irony of it all.

Sesshoumaru hate his ‘job’ as the ‘babysitter’ of all these mindless animal. A parrot squawked at him, “Morning, Prince!” He ignored the bird. The animals in the shop and around town had come to call him ‘Prince’ ever since they learned from Kagome ages ago when she is still the little girl that sought for him to chase away the nightmares that his ‘pet’ name is ‘Lord Sesshoumaru’. She even told them idiots that he is the Prince of All Canines. The irony of it all is that it is the truth! Since then, they animals called him ‘Prince’. Sometime, he hate being the Beta. His sire is still around and still is the Alpha.

“So, Prince. Why’s the long face?” Asks Tabby, a cat. She jumped onto a rug and licked her paw clean. Sesshoumaru has come to make friend with the feline ever since she save him from total humiliation with a can of dog food. Besides, he find her intelligent for her kind. And cats has always been intelligent creatures. She is intelligent, however, is because she knows her place around him unlike most of her kind. Sesshoumaru lay down next to her and growled softly, “Kagome is going to find a prom MATE. I can’t have that. I wouldn’t be able to feed on her pure energy if she is no longer pure!” Tabby know who he really is, another reason why he keep her company. Tabby snorted, “Why do you worry about that? A prom mate is really a date. They wouldn’t really mate. But you know humans. Most of them women are bitches really. And by bitches, I mean whore,”

Sesshoumaru growled at Tabby, he didn’t like the idea of Kagome being categorized with the same class of those humans women. He snorted, “Kagome isn’t like that! She is still pure! This Sesshoumaru would know if she isn’t!” Tabby meowed an apology, “Sorry. Didn’t mean to offense you. I know that your little princess that is not so little anymore are still pure. Hell, the whole town’s pets and animals can tell you that!” She sniffed. She likes Kagome and often wondered why a girl as nice as her would be treated differently. Sesshoumaru place his head between his paws, “She is not my little princess!” He snorted.

“Denying is so unbecoming of you, Milord!” Mewed Tabby, jumping out of Sesshoumaru’s snapping maw.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Kagome parked her bike and tugged at her long skirt. Sesshoumaru doesn’t like jeans. She had a feeling he think them indecent. She once bought one but never had a chance to wear them because said ‘nanny’ have rip it apart and ruin it beyond repair. Ever since then, she didn’t dare to buy another. From the time she spend with the arrogant dog, she knew that if he ruin something and she bought another to replace it, he will ruin it also.

“Kagome!” Sally Parker called out to her best friend. Kagome is the only girl in the small town that made friend with her. This is because Sally is both a Goth and an occult manic. Her boyfriend Houdini Herford, the town’s part time magician at their local bar is the other kid that made friend with Kagome. Kagome isn’t much into the cult, but she likes legends and myths enough to be categorized among the to oddities of the town. Sally grinned, “So, ready for the new semester?”

“Not really,” Kagome laughed nervously. She spied on Terry Kocher, the captain of the football team in their school. He is a sweet boy, from what she can tell. But she know too that he is dating the town’s prettiest girl, Latifa Sandier. Latifa maybe pretty, but she is a spoiled rich girl. The good thing about her is that she is perfect. Not just in look but in academic too. She is also the president of the Science Club.

Good look plus brain. Dangerous concoction. Kagome shivered at the data running through her brain. Latifa has curly strawberry blond hair and bright green eyes. Her skin is creamy in color, the right mixture of pale and a healthy tan. Her legs are long and ended with firm buttocks. Her chest are humble but perk. Hips wide with a tiny waist. The right hourglass shape with an iron board belly. Every where she goes, eyes will follow.

“Sally, how’s your date with Houdini?” Asks Kagome, shaking her mind out of the dishwasher. Sure, Latifa is beautiful and the very image of an angel herself, but personality is everything in a person. That is what Kagome had been taught by her father, and she isn’t about to change it. Sally smiled a dreamy smile, “We had a date at the graveyard,” She sighed at the memory, “He is so romantic!”

Kagome nodded, “Riiiiiggght…”

The bell rings for classes to start. Kagome waved goodbye to Sally, going off to her literature. She sat closes to the teacher’s table so that it is easier to ask questions. The chair next to her moved and from the corner of her eye, the last person that she expected to sit next to her or even take this class smiled at her, “Hey!”

Kagome blushed at Terry, she bowed a greeting. Terry grinned his winner smile, “Haven’t seen you around before. Are you new?” He asked. Kagome blinked, feeling awkward, “No… I have been in this school for quite sometime now,” Terry blinked, feeling rather stupid, “Oh really? I’m sorry! Never taken notice of you before! Name’s Terry. Terry Kocher!” He shove out his hand and grab’s Kagome’s to shake it, “You probably have heard of me before?”

Kagome nodded, “Yeah… You are pretty famous around here,” She admitted. Her face gone a deeper shade of red when he hold her hand. Terry grinned, “Yeah… Crazy huh? You know me… I don’t even know ninety percent of those people that knows me. Made me feel really bad, you know. Doesn’t seem fair…” He trailed off. The two sat silent for a moment before Terry started again, “Are you a Chinese? I mean, you look kind of different from most Chinese in this school. Mixed, maybe? Your eyes blue,” He pointed out. Kagome chuckled nervously, “Um… Actually I’m a Japanese mixed with American. My mother has blue eyes… I think,” She mumbled the last words. Terry nodded, “Japanese huh? Is sushi really are made from raw meat?” He asked.

Kagome rushed toward Sally and Houdini at the last table in the school’s outdoor café. She sat hurriedly next to them and grinned, “Guess what?” Sally look at her enthusiastic friend and quirked an eyebrow at her, “What?” Kagome stared at her for a moment, “You know, when you do your eyebrow thingy you really look like my dog…” Kagome pointed. Sally frowned and look at Houdini who shrugged. Kagome shake her head, “Never mind,” She continued, “Today, Terry Kocher talk to me in literature!” She grinned. Both Sally and Houdini have always known about Kagome’s infatuation with the football’s captain.

Sally blinked and grinned, “Congratulation! I mean, dream come true! Wow, and he already has a girlfriend,” She added the last one slowly. She quickly stuff her mouth with some more salads. Kagome slumped her shoulder, “I know. But a girl can dream, right?” She pouted. Houdini patted her back, “Dream on then,” He grinned at her, “Too bad I’m no genie! If I’m one, then both of you ladies wouldn’t be so whiny!” He rhymed. Kagome laughed. Houdini is cute that way. He maybe an oddity when it comes to social standing, but if one get to know the ‘dark magician’ then they will find a kindred soul ready to rip itself out of his chest. Houdini is a year older than the girls, but he had to repeat because of an accident last year cause him the whole year in a hospital mending his back.

He vowed then to never race with a crappy bike ever again.

Sally finished her salad, “How’s your dog? You promise that I can get to see him today,” Sally is an animal lover, but she has yet to see Kagome’s ‘Prince Charming’. She may have been Kagome’s friend for years, but every time she come over to Kagome’s house the dog is out somewhere on an errand. Sometime she get this nagging feeling that he is avoiding her and Houdini or something. Or maybe it is just her imagination. Kagome sipped her juice, “Why don’t we go to my Aunt’s pet shop? He work there,”

“Your pet work at a pet shop? Curious,” Frowned Houdini. Sally asked, “Wouldn’t anybody want to buy him? I mean, he is animal in a pet shop,” She mused. Kagome chuckled, “With the hat he’s been force to wear? And his temper? I don’t think so,” She giggled at the idea of anyone wanting to buy Sesshoumaru. She didn’t buy the big dog, she found him and he stayed. Sally and Houdini look at each other. Her dog has a temper?

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

“Aunt Greta! I brought some friends along. They want to meet Lord Sesshoumaru!” Called Kagome, parking her bicycle. Her friends have often wondered why would she call her dog ‘Lord’ and she told them that it just feel right to call him that. They have to meet him to know what she means. Sally and Houdini entered the small and cozy animals shop. Greta smiled at them, “Kagome’s friends, is it? You must be Sally and Houdini. I must say, she do have a unique taste in friends,” She look at Sally’s appearance. She is open minded, so she didn’t care how people dressed. As long as they behave.

Sally and Houdini grinned at her, “Nice meeting you, Aunt Greta,” The lady nodded at them, able to see their kindred soul. Kagome search the shop, “Where’s Lord Sesshoumaru?”

“Chatting,” Answered Greta. Kagome blinked, “Chatting?” Animals chat? Greta pointed at the back, “He have been chatting with Tabby since this morning. I’m telling you, all that growling and meowing is getting to my head. I’ll be dreaming dogs and cats by the time I get back home. Why don’t you take him on a walk?” She handed Kagome a leash and a collar. Kagome look at them and then at Greta, “You are kidding, right? There is no way he would let me leash him. You know what happened last time,” She reminded her Aunt about the mud bath incident. They tried leashing Sesshoumaru and he have pushes all of them into a puddle of mud, walking away all clean and pristine as ever.

Greta twitched her eyebrow, “How can I ever forget. Oh! The stench of it all. I have to throw away that shirt and it’s my favorite one too!” She put away the collar and the leash. Kagome rush to the back of the shop, eager to take her friend on a walk.

Sesshoumaru had sniffed her long before she walk through the door, but decided not to greet her. He is still feeling sore from this morning. Kagome found him brooding in front of Tabby, who meowed in greeting to her. Kagome petted the cat, “Hey there Tabby. Come Lord Sesshoumaru. There’s someone I want you to meet,” By the time the words left her lips, Sesshoumaru jumped on his feet.

“That fast?! She have found a mate? When I told her not to?” He growled. He glared at her angrily. Tabby shakes her head at his reaction, “Calm down, will you? Use your nose. There are two other peoples in there and both of them stink with each other,” She licked her paw, purring at him. Sesshoumaru immediately calmed down as he sniffed at her. To his satisfaction, she is still pure. Kagome frowned at him, petting his big head, “What is wrong, Lord Sesshoumaru? You have been acting really strange ever since Aunt mentioned about prom,” She pulled him back inside. Sesshoumaru answered her, “Nothing is wrong. You are being delusional,” He growled softly.

“Is THAT your dog?” Houdini pointed, his eyes wide and so is Sally’s. They have never seen one Sesshoumaru’s size or pedigree. Sally squinted at him, trying to figure him out, “What is he? Not a St. Beethoven, that I am sure even though he got the ears. Is he some kind of a hybrid?” Sesshoumaru growled at the idea of being a hybrid, “Ridiculous. I’m a pure bred inu youkai,” He snorted at the girl. Sally blinked as Kagome laughed, “Told you he have a temper,” She hugged Sesshoumaru, who turn his head to nuzzle her in a possessive manner, growling softly as he did. Sally blinked at the dog’s attitude, “Wow. Talk about possessive,”

Kagome then stood up, pulling Sesshoumaru along, “Come along Lord Sesshoumaru. I’m taking you for a walk,” She announced. Sesshoumaru stood up on his four legs, ready to go. But before he steps out of the store, he turns around and warned the animals with a single bark, “BEHAVE!” He then left the very silent and proper pet store. Houdini blinked, “I think I know now why Kagome call him LORD Sesshoumaru. Can you see how he act?” He whispered to Sally, who nodded.
