Chapter 8 - The Grooming *Jumping thru Hoops!* (The Puppy Love Challenge)

Once everyone was fed, Kagome kept her word, sitting down beside her new furry friend with her brush. "Okay, I'm going to try my best not to tug. I know you're still sore. Later on, I'll change your bandages. You let me know if I'm hurting you, okay?"

Sesshoumaru lifted his head to make eye contact with the miko, feeling the strangest sensation in his chest when she smiled at him. Unsure as to its cause, he decided it was best to ignore it and laid his head on his paws to allow her to begin.

Kagome started at the end of his tail and worked her way up, unraveling snarls and picking out small sticks, bits of leaves, and burrs that had found their way into his long fur. She took her time, enjoying her task. Inuyasha would never let her brush his hair, and the dog's fur reminded her of her friend's white locks. She made her way up his back, all the way to the bandages around his neck, before sitting back and looking him over.

"Sango, check it out. With all the dirt brushed out, he looks more silver than white."

"He's beautiful," the slayer agreed.

"Alright, Big Guy," the miko continued, turning back to her task. "I need to do your underside and legs. I'm going to leave the face for last since I'll have to be especially careful."

Sesshoumaru rolled to one side, lifting his legs straight out so that she could brush his chest and belly. He was finding her grooming quite pleasurable. It was something he had never experienced before, having someone care for him. Not even his mother had done so when he was young, in an attempt to make him strong and self-sufficient. Having the miko's dainty little fingers running through his fur as she brushed him was comforting, relaxing even, and he had a feeling he would wish it had taken longer once she finished.

He mentally smirked at the girl's innocence, noticing how her cheeks flushed pink as she brushed his belly. He wasn't even a member of the same species at the moment, and yet the sight of his penis embarrassed her. He had always thought poorly of her, if he thought of her at all, because of the way she dressed, but her behavior made it clear that she was honorable. He had never experienced guilt before, but something was nagging at him as he realized how wrongly he had judged the girl.

Kagome pushed through her embarrassment while mentally scolding herself for being so silly. He was just a dog! His belly needed to be brushed, so she was doing it. That was all! She carefully pulled another burr out of his fur, adding it to the pile, before moving on to his legs. She stopped every few minutes to clean a cut she had uncovered and made sure to even check between the pads of his paws.

"Wow, he is smart," Sango said as she watched the dog roll to his other side so that Kagome could continue. "It really seems as if he understands what you're saying to him."

"He's not smart," Inuyasha growled, "just trained. She just happens to be using the right commands. ‘Roll over' is something people teach their dogs. Not a big deal."

"I don't think so," Kagome replied. "He's definitely smart. I can see it in his eyes. Besides, not everything I've said to him could have been commands."

"What, you think he needs to be told to eat? Get over it, Kagome. It's just a fucking stray mutt."

Kagome shook her head but refused to continue the conversation. It would only end with yelling and Inuyasha hitting the ground. Instead, she returned her full focus to the dog. "We need to think of a name for you. Can't keep calling you Big Guy forever."

"You're not keeping him," the hanyou muttered.

"Not up to you," Kagome replied without looking up. "Alright, all done. Now, let's get to work on that face. You've got so many burrs stuck in your ears, it's crazy."

Sesshoumaru rolled onto his belly once more, relieved that the miko had removed all of the items lodged in his fur. The ones on his chest had made lying comfortably difficult. He belly-crawled closer to his savior until he could lay his chin on her knee. He looked up at her with thankful eyes, and she softly patted his head.

"So, what command was that, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked rather snidely, more than tired of Inuyasha's attitude.

The hanyou didn't answer, at least not loud enough for the miko to hear, which more than likely saved him a good deal of pain, because she wouldn't have liked what she heard a bit. He continued muttering to himself, glaring at the snickering kitsune who could understand every word, as he attempted to busy himself with the fire.

Kagome started on the dog's ears while thinking of possible names. She had never had a dog, just a fat, lazy cat, so she really had no idea where to start. He was a beautiful animal, large and majestic, and so intelligent that he deserved something good. He couldn't be called something common, and while she was sure he could be vicious when necessary, she didn't want to pick Cujo, Killer, or anything like it. No, it had to be perfect, and she had no clue.
