“Say cheese!”
Kagome grinned from ear to ear while holding up her chubby fingers, making a ‘peace’ sign.
Click.
She grabbed her parents’ hands and dragged them in the direction of the bus stop. “C’mon!! I don’t wanna be late!” Excitement poured out of the five-year-old in waves.
Kenzo admired his daughter and chuckled, pretending to struggle. “Woah! Slow down, tiger!”
“But Papa, it’s the first day of kin-ta-garden!” Kagome whined.
Satsuki smiled. “It’s kin-der-gar-ten, sweetie,” she corrected, squeezing Kagome’s hand.
“Well, I don’t wanna miss it!”
Kenzo ruffled Kagome’s hair playfully. “We wouldn’t miss it for the world, either.”

A/N: I originally wrote this companion piece as one, long chapter (part 1) of The Moon is Beautiful, but it took on a life of its own and then went into hibernation in my Google Drive. I'm now in the middle of editing it to fit the 'drabble' style. Each chapter is 100 words in length (unless stated otherwise, or I can't count right.) It delves into Sesshomaru and Kagome's childhood, and the circumstances that took place years before their ill-fated tumble down the well. Snippets from this drabble series will be referenced later on here and there in TMIB.
Happy reading!
