Father Knows Best

Last Time: After breakfast Kagome got dressed and grabbed Sesshomaru and set off towards Petsmart. On the way she met an officer. Now she had to take Sesshomaru to the vet. The officer had told her that all animals needed a leash, tags, and all of their shots up-to-date.

"Oh, this is just great now I'm going to have to explain what a vet is, and shots. Oh Kami the vet is going to want to neuter Sesshomaru." she thought.

"This is going to be an exciting trip I only hope that Sesshomaru doesn't want to kill me." she says aloud.

Now on to chapter 7.

Kagome sighed as she walked to Petsmart. That trip to the vets' office could have went better. Sesshomaru was definately not happy with her taking him there.

(Vet's Office.)

Kagome sat down in the waiting room chair to fill out some paperwork. She looked over at Sesshomaru and saw him staring at her.

"I suppose you want to know why we are here?" she asked.

He nodded.

"We are here because in this era all dogs have to have shot records. If they don't they are taken away and killed." she said.

"Why?" he yipped and cocked his head.

"Why? There are diseases that animals can get and spread to other animals and people. Those diseases sometimes don't have cures for people and are seldomly found to late in an animal that has contracted it from another animal. It is a way to keep it from spreading." she explained.

Sesshomaru nodded.

"Ningens are smarter in this era." his beast commented.

"They are." he replied.

When she had finished the paperwork she had placed him in her lap and waited.

"Kagome Higurashi please bring back Sesse." the nurse called.

"Sesse?" he yipped and cocked his head.

"Don't ask." she said.

Kagome followed the nurse to a room and sat Sesshomaru down on the examination table. The nurse then proceeded to check his weight, heart beat, his ears, and his temperature. He was not happy after her taking his temperature.

"The doctor will be with you shortly." she said.

Sesshomaru barked and growled after the nurse.

"I am so sorry that had to happen. I will make it up to you. Now before the doctor gets here, you will have to behave with him. I don't want anyone to take you away from me and if you don't behave he can refuse to treat you. Now he will give you some shots and they may sting. Anyways your poison will just remove the medication from your body so no worries." Kagome explained.

There was knock on the door and it opened to reveal the vet.

"Ms. Higurashi, I am Dr. Kono. Is this Sesse?" he asked.

"Yes. He is." she said.

"You brought him here to get a physical and some shots?" he asked.

"Yes I did." she said.

"Good. Now what breed is he." he asked.

"He is a rare new breed that I got from America. A Hybrid." she said.

"Hmm. Ok I will be checking him for basically everything." he said.

The vet then proceeded to check him for heart worms, brain worms, you name it he checked. Then he left to get all the anti-biotics and syringes.

"That wasn't so bad." she said.

Sesshomaru growled. He had never had anything like that done to him or had ever been handled that way in his life, especially by a ningen. It was taking all of his control to keep from biting the man.

"I guess it was that bad." she said.

He nodded. The doctor returned and Sesshomaru received his innoculations. He could feel his poison burning them out of his system. What the doctor asked next made him curious.

"So do you want to neuter him?" he asked.

"No! Absolutely not!" she said.

She then looked at Sesshomaru to see that he had cocked his head.

"He asked if I wanted to fix you. To make it where you can't make puppies." she mouthed.

Sesshomaru understood what she had mouthed and eyed the vet suspiciously.

"Are you sure? If you don't want or plan on anymore of him running around you may want to get it done." he advised.

"I am absolutely sure." she said.

"Well then I am done. You may go Ms. Higurashi. At the front desk you can get his shot records." he said.

"Good-bye Dr. Kono." she said.

Kagome picked up Sesshomaru. Dr. Kono went to pet him and Sesshomaru growled at him.

"I think he is upset with you asking to neuter him." Kagome joked, even though she was dead serious.

"May have." he said.

Kagome left the office and began her trek to Petsmart. All the while Sesshomaru glared over her shoulder at the vets' office thinking of hundreds of ways to hurt the doctor for even suggesting neutering him. Ever once in awhile he would growl.

(Now)

Sesshomaru had growled again.

"I told you I will make this up to you." she said.

"How?" he asked, giving her a questioning whine.

"I don't know yet. Maybe I will let you pick out any chew toy you want." she said.

"I know exactly how she can make this up to us." his beast said.

"How?" he asked.

"Just wait until we get back to normal." it said.

"Hn." he said.

"We're here." she announced.

"Most stores you can't come in but this one you can." she said.

They stepped into the Petsmart and were immediately greeted by one of the workers.

"Hello may I help you." she said.

"Yes. Umm, I need to get supplies for my baby." Kagome said.

"Baby?" Sesshomaru said.

"What exactly are you looking for?" she asked.

"The whole nine yards." Kagome said.

"Come this way. You must really love your pup." she commented.

"Yes I do very much. I guess you could say I am spoiling him." Kagome said.

"Here we are. We have food, toys, clothes, everything you will need." she said.

"Thank you. I am sure I can manage from here." Kagome said.

Kagome sat Sesshomaru down and began looking at collars, letting him wander around the aisle. He looked at leashes, bones, and then something caught his eyes. It was a chew toy that looked just like Touran in her panther form and he had to have it.

He looked at Kagome and grabbed the toy and commenced tearing it apart. For so long he had always wanted to sink his teeth in that panther and now he could take it out on something that resembled her so.

"No Sesse. Don't tear it up." Kagome said.

He stopped chewing on it and looked at her. She picked it up and saw that it was a cat. A blue-green cat, well panther.

"Do you want this?" she asked.

He nodded and she returned it to him, where upon he tore into it again.

"He is feirce." the helpful worker said.

"He is. He really doesn't like cats. Does this come in yellow?" she said, holding up a doggy raincoat.

"It does. I'll be right back. Do you want the matching boots?" she asked.

"Yes. Thank You." Kagome said.

A few minutes later the lady returned with the yellow raincoat.

"Thank You." Kagome said.

"Your welcome. Let me know if you need anything else." she said.

The lady walked away leaving them together. Sesshomaru tugged on the coat and Kagome looked at him.

"It is a raincoat. It will keep pollutants from gathering on your fur when it rains. Pollutants are bad things. You are not use to the pollutants of my era so some of them may get you sick. So I am getting you a raincoat and boots." she said.

He licked her hand in a gesture of thanks.

"I have so much to get you. Water bowl, toys, bath supplies, so much." Kagome said.

True to her words Kagome was going to spoil him. She left Petsmart with so much stuff. She had gotten him balls, a leash, chew bones, many of the Touran cat toys, and much more. She even got a tote bag to carry him in. Before they got home Kagome stopped at a store to get his tags made. They were engraved "Sesse" and had her address.

Sesshomaru noted that Kagome was taking every precaution in his safety and that she would do anything for him. She wanted him safe and she loved him, he wondered if he would be able to love her back. It was said that demons didn't know how to love. He wanted to love her back but he didn't know how but he was determined that he would learn to love.

"We're home." Kagome said.

He nodded at her. Yes he was going to learn to love for Kagome. She loved him and he felt something for her, so why couldn't he learn to love her? He would get help from his father first, then he would learn about Kagome from Shippo. But he would also do a little dream walking to tell her things, about how he feels. Like tonight he was going to thank her for everything she is doing for him.

He wanted to love her and hoped that he could. He didn't want to be another demon whose beast loved their mate and the intellectual side didn't, Kagome deserved better. She deserved to have both sides love her and that is what he was going to give her. No matter what.

(Inutaisho-Heaven)

The great Dog General looked down upon his eldest and smiled. The pup was finally getting it after all these years that even a demon needed love. He was so proud and glad that the wounds in his sons' heart were finally beginning to heal. The old dog had also heard his eldests thoughts on Kagome and agreed with him, Kagome deserved better.

His son was falling in love but he still needed a little help. He was just the dog to help him.
