Accidentally Funny by Kanna37

Canine Au Natural

The entire tachi watched as Kagome came storming out of the trees, followed by a strangely silent Sesshoumaru – and distantly – by a very subdued Inuyasha, who was oddly covered in dirt.

The very strange part of the whole thing, was that Kagome was wearing nothing but a towel – and a snarl on her face.

“It seems as though this confrontation went differently than expected,” Miroku said, in a disappointed tone, “rendering the betting pool dead. Since no one bet on Kagome winning, there are no winners or losers.”

The group sighed, disgruntled, and Kagome glared at all of them, obviously irate – everyone looked away, not willing to challenge the alpha female. She sniffed, disdainful – almost wishing someone would challenge her - at this point she was willing to fight with the whole group to get rid of the irritation that had been building in her since Sesshoumaru had joined them.

“Cowards,” she muttered disgustedly as she turned and stomped back into the trees, heading for the springs – and her clothing.

The moment she disappeared, Shippo smirked at Inuyasha and asked, “So, bakayasha... you tried to bury Kagome kaa-san?” While the others had not known what was going on, other than loud yells, Shippo, Kirara, and Jaken had heard – and enjoyed every moment of the screaming that had gone on.

At his words, all the humans in the group choked; with wide-eyes, they turned to stare at the subdued hanyou.

“Ah, shut up, ya little runt,” he said half-heartedly, and Sesshoumaru shot him a highly amused glance.

“Indeed, kit, he did – but it ended with the miko burying him. It was highly gratifying, I must admit – watching the half-breed rooting around in the dirt.”

Just then, Kagome stomped back into the clearing, and Sesshoumaru, nodded, and said, “Despite the fact that it was the fool hanyou that was thrust so satisfactorily into the dirt, this one feels the need to bathe – we will make camp here, and continue on tomorrow.” With that statement, he turned and disappeared under the trees, and the group began settling in for the evening.

Not long after he'd left, Kagome felt a flicker inside herself, and almost started crying – two shards were on their way in at a very fast pace – meaning that Koga was about to add to the hell that her life had become lately.

Sure enough, within moments of her warning the wolf prince blew into camp, grabbing her hands and rubbing as much of himself over her as he could. Before Kagome could even react, a further disturbance made itself known in the camp – and she turned several shades of red when she heard Sango's shriek and caught sight of what had caused it.

There stood a very wet, very naked Sesshoumaru, growling and eyes flashing red as Koga turned slowly to stare at whatever was making those challenging sounds. The daiyoukai stalked forward, completely uncaring about his nudity as the rest of the group, sans Sango, stared, fascinated.

Reaching a frozen Kagome and the wolf that was still clutching her hands, he grabbed Koga by his pelt and tossed him off into the trees – leaving nothing between he and the stunned young woman before him.

Brow cocked, he stared haughtily at her. “Yes? Was there something?” he drawled, as though there was nothing wrong about walking around nude.

Eyes wide and rounded in shock, Kagome managed nothing but a loud gulp, and Sesshoumaru nodded, a satisfied air abruptly surrounding him.

“This one is aware that his physique is stunning, miko, so stare all you wish. I will not turn away until you have looked your fill.”

Kagome reached up and placed her hands over her eyes, then closed them as she plopped down on her ass in shock with a whimper.

She really wished she could think of something witty to say, but the image burned into her mind just wouldn't let her – the stupid dog was right.

His physique was stunning... and she was almost ready to have a nervous breakdown.

With a barely audible chuckle, Sesshoumaru headed back to his clothing, preparing to gird himself for battle.

Now it wasn't just the hanyou, but the wolf that he had to deal with. But at least he'd managed to get the miko to see just what she would be gaining when he finally mated her...

And from her reaction, he knew that no matter who challenged him for her, he would be the winner.

Because nobody could carry off naked like he could.
