Authors Note: Sesshomaru VS. The Cat and Stupid Ningens Part 2

Last Time: "Now that is settled we have some shopping to do." Kagome said scooping up Sesshomaru.

Kagome handed Sesshomaru to Shippo and asked him to wait outside as she and Rin changed into different clothes. When they had finished Rin and Kagome went downstairs to find Shippo.

He was in the sitting room with Sota and Sesshomaru. Sota was currently teaching him how to play video games on his Play Station.

"Sota could you lend Shippo some of your clothes?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah sure. Come on." Sota said.

"Wow Rin you look so different not being in a kimono." Shippo commented.

Sesshomaru agreed with the fox. His little girl did look so different in blue jeans and a graphic tee. They were a little baggy for she was smaller than Kagome but with the help of a belt the jeans stayed in place.

"Yeah I know. This thing Kagome-chan calls a bra is very uncomfortable." she said.

"I know Rin but girls in this era wear them." Kagome said.

"Glad to see that you put her in some pants instead of those skirts you used to wear." Shippo teased.

"Hey! I made those skirts look good. Besides in this era there is nothing wrong with short clothing." she retorted.

Sesshomaru had to agree with her, too. She had indeed made those skirts look good. They had fit so right on her hips and reached high enough that they dared a male to dream about the secret that was mere centimeters away from being revealed.

"Where had that thought come from?" he asked himself.

"While we are out we will have to buy some clothes that will fit you both and some for Sesshomaru; when we hopefully get him back to normal." Kagome announced.

"Yes now I guess I will go get dressed." Shippo said.

Several minutes later they were ready to go except one thing.

"Shippo is there a way that you could possibly hide your demonic features?" Kagome asked.

"Sure." he said.

Shippo slipped into his glamour and they left. First destination: The Bank.

Kagome didn't spend long at the bank. She already had an account and placed the check in the account. Her father had started the account when she had been born, it was at a high growing intrest rate so it would grow into a pretty large amount until she had been ready for college.

Since she was not going to college, she used the money to fund her trips through the well. Now with this check from the museum and its share-holders she had enough money for years to come, and send Sota to college, and help take care of the shrine.

As they walked along the sidewalk to the shopping center and mall, Shippo and Rin asked about so many things that they were getting many stares. But it was not about the childrens' lack of knowledge of everyday items. No it was about the adorable white puppy walking beside the group.

Some women and young girls were asking where she had gotten the adorable puppy. They wanted to hold him and touch him. However Sesshomaru could not take all of these onna's wanting to touch him, so he leapt into Kagome's arms and tried to hide under her shirt.

Sesshomaru's sense of smell was being overloaded. There were so many smells that he felt sick, then all the onna's started to come at him the smell's that were coming off of them were so strong that he was having a hard time distinguishing one smell from the other. They smelt gross, some had not bathed regularly and put a heavy amount of perfume on to cover it up and alot had been with multiple partners it was like he had walked into the biggest brothel in the world. He wondered how Shippo was handling the smells.

Shippo couldn't take it, he almost fainted, he grabbed Rin and put her in front of him and buried his noes in her hair at the base of her skull. Oh Kami the smell was so bad, he hoped Sesshomaru didn't get mad but right now he needed her smell so that he could just breath.

"Kagome get us out of here." Shippo pleaded

Kagome told the onna's that Sesshomaru was a rare breed from the America's and she had the only one in Japan. Then told Shippo and Rin to follow her and she took them to a park about 2 blocks away at a fast walk. The whole time Sesshomaru was under her shirt with his nose buried deep in between her breast. Kagome didn't know what to make of this, all she knew was that she could feel his nose and hot breath on her skin and every now and then a whimper and a small shudder would pass through his small puppy body.

For Sesshomaru he was in heaven. The awful smells were gone and had been replaced with the most wonderful smell that was Kagome, only Kagome smelled like a forest after a rain storm with moonflowers and jasmine. Every breath he breathed in the smell would make his beast whimper and send a shudder down his body. His beast wanted to come out to find the smell but it couldn't and started to ask questions.

''WHERE IS THAT SMELL COMING FROM!?''

"What are you doing out."

"ANSWER ME! WHERE IS THAT SMELL COMING FROM? I WANT IT, I NEED IT, GIVE IT TO US!"

"No, you can't have it. That smell is coming from a human onna."

"SO DAMN WHAT! HUMAN ONNA SMELL NICE. OUR HUMAN ONNA, MINE AND YOURS. OUR SWEET, PURE ONNA, SO SWEET, SO PURE, OUR ONLY ONNA. NEVER HAVE ANOTHER, OUR ONLY ONE."

Sesshomaru went completely still at his beasts words. His beast has chosen their mate and a human mate no less. Damn his insufferable beast; well it could have been worse. It could have been attracted to one of those bitches his mother chose. Atleast he liked this onna, well to an extent anyways. She and Rin were the only humans he didn't detest and the only ones that he even had an ounce of respect for.

To the mark Sesshomaru was not all that disappointed in his beasts choice. He did like Kagome and had watched how she interacted with other beings. She was proper, had great manners, modest, and was respectful to others no matter who they were. He had watched how she had interacted with Rin, Shippo, and her houshi and slayer friends brood. She would be a great mother.

Yes, he liked her but he had never seen her as a potential mate but more of a ...friend. Yeah friend was the word. It seemed the fates had decreed for them to be more. The only problem he saw was to get her to fall for him. It didn't matter if he fell in love or not; they were to be together and together they would be.

"Sesshomaru you can come out now." Kagome said to him.

Sesshomaru pulled his head out slowly and took a tentative sniff of the air. It was not as disgsting as earlier and there was not the scent of the scary onnas. He smelled cooking food, flowers, water, trees, grass, and various small wildlife. He looked around and then heaved a sigh. He was safe.

"Kagome!" an onnas' voice called.

Kagome looked up to see the approach of three young women. It was her friends from high school; Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi.

"Hi, how have you been?" she asked the girls.

"How have we been? How about how have you been? Right after gradution you fell off the face of the earth." Eri scolded.

"Ohh, well I have been out of the country." Kagome explained.

"You have been traveling around alot then?" Ayumi asked.

"Yes. How rude of me? This is my cousins. Rin and Shippo." Kagome introduced them.

Hellos were exchanged and they resumed the conversation.

"Why is she so apprehensive with these three girls? I sense that they know each other rather well, yet she is hesitant to speak with them." Sesshomaru thought.

"I see. So how did everything go with that Inuyasha guy you were with?" she asked.

"Ugh. He decided to try and keep me around as a girl on the side. I made him see that I wasn't interested in him like that." she said.

"Good for you. Have you found someone else?" Yuka asked.

Kagome blushed right then about ten shades of red. Her old friends gave her a knowing look.

"Oh Kagome has. She has found someone she really likes." they teased.

"I do really like him but he just sees right through me. I am in an one-sided love." she sighed.

"Who is the male that has my onnas' attention?" Sesshomaru said.

He was jealous, a new emotion for him. He didn't like the feel of jealousy. It was a burning feeling in his stomach and it made him want to be sick.

"Kagome, I'm sorry. We shouldn't have pried." Ayumi said.

"It's ok Ayumi. I am just happy to be around him. Maybe just maybe he will see me." she said.

"Always the hopeless romantic aren't you?" Yuka said.

"MMhmm. I always will be." Kagome said.

Her aura had shifted to sadness, well a bit towards losing of hope. Sesshomaru hated that more than the jealousy burning inside of him. He wanted the onnas' that pulled at a tender subject of his onna to leave. That moment he forgot that he was a cute puppy and barked at them. Bringing their attention onto him.

"Leave." he said.

Shippo understood what he had said and understood why he had wanted them to leave. They made his mother sad pulling at those topics.

"Um momma. I think we need to get to our shopping." Shippo said.

He wasn't heard though for the girls had focused their attention on the demon lord and began squealing.

"Kagome! He is so cute." Ayumi said.

"Absolutely adorable, so cute." Yuka said.

"The onnas here are crazy. It must be something in the water. Get me out of here!" Sesshomaru whined.

"I wanna hold him." Eri said.

"Umm that might...." Kagome had began.

Eri had went to grab Sesshomaru but he had seen her coming and jumped away from her, growling.

"I guess he doesn't really like people that much." Eri said.

"No he doesn't. He won't allow anyone besides Rin and I to even touch him." she said.

"Momma we need to get to our shopping. Sota will be sent to look in on us if we are gone too long." Shippo said.

"Momma? I thought they were cousins." Ayumi asked.

"They are. When Shippo was little he couldn't say Kagome. He called me momma and I guess it has just stuck." she said.

"Ok. How long are you going to be in town?" Eri asked.

"Hmmm. I'm not sure maybe just a couple of weeks." Kagome answered.

"Maybe we could catch a movie, go shopping, or maybe out to dinner a couple of times?" Yuka said.

"Sure. I need to get going girls. It was nice to see you all again and maybe we can do something this weekend. How about a movie?" Kagome said.

"Alright. By the way Hojo is also back in the country. Maybe you can finally give him that date he has always wanted to have." Eri said.

"I don't think so. Hojo is more hard-headed than Inuyasha. I have never liked Hojo like that, I have only seen him as a friend." Kagome said.

"Can't blame him for trying. He has always liked you. Maybe you should give him a chance. I mean especially if the guy you like doesn't even see you. Maybe you just need to try and move on and give Hojo a chance. Think about it Kagome." Ayumi said.

"Maybe. I.. I need to go. It was nice to see you. Good-bye." Kagome said, leaving.

Kagome was sad. She had fallen in love with Sesshomaru before they had killed Naraku and she was sure that she was in a relationship of unreciprocated love. He would never notice an insignificant human such as herself. How could he? He was a being with unparallel good looks and probably had some many beautiful demonesses just throwing themselves at him that she wouldn't even be a blip on his radar.

The only way she had ever gotten noticed was when she attacked him or had been in peril with no help coming from Inuyasha. She was sure that he had seen it as an obligation to save her; if he hadn't with him being the only one that could, he would have disgraced his father and everything that he had stood for. Also he would have put a dent in his honor.

So now that he was in her care Kagome hoped to atleast get him to acknowledge her feelings. She had to atleast try; she didn't know if she could be around him all the time without saying a word. If she didn't, she felt as if she might spontaneously combust. If she couldn't say that she loved him she would show him.

Kagome had been so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even realize that they had made it to the open-air mall. Shippo had roused her from her thoughts.

"Momma are we here?" he asked.

Kagome looked up to see that she had absentmindedly got them to their first destination.

"Yes Shippo we are." she said.

"Yay! Now we can see some things from here." Rin said excitedly.

"Let's go in then." Shippo said.

"Come on then." Kagome said.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and wondered why she was sad. It didn't sit well with him, her sadness, it made him want to hold her if he could. He wanted to comfort her. He was going to find a way to speak with her in private. First he had to survive this "quest" of shopping and all the crazy onnas that possibly waited beyond the doors before them.

He wasn't sure what to expect as Kagome pulled on the doors handle and step over the threshold.

Authors Note: Another long chapter. I think I underestimated how many chapters the Sesshomaru VS The Cat and Stupid Ningens was going to be. I think the possibility that it may end up being in 4 parts.

Preveiw of Sesshomaru VS The Cat and Stupid Ningens Part 3.

"What have you done to my little girl?" Sesshomaru whined.

Rin was bouncing off the walls. It was like she had been slipped the energy of five 3 year olds that had eaten an entire bag of straight sugar.

Shippo had translated his whines to Kagome. Kagome looked at the cup that Rin had been drinking out of and took a sip. She realized that the waitress had handed Rin her drink. Rin had ended up with her frozen mocha shake with a shot of espresso with chocolate drizzle.

Also in this chapter Kagome will be given another reason to not give Hojo a chance. Hojo hates dogs! That I will leave to your imaginations. Try and guess what I have in store there.
