The wind was blowing furiously that day, and Kagome just had to pick that day to wear a hat. She sighed and ran after it for the fifth time that day, or maybe it was the tenth time. She wasn't sure; she was beginning to lose count.
Kagome sighed in relief when the wind momentarily stopped blowing and she searched around for where her hat had fallen.
Or, hadn't fallen.
Her brown eyes widened in surprise when she saw that her straw sun hat was held up in the air by a clawed hand with purple stripes on their wrist. She looked past the wrist up to the owner's face and her mouth gaped in shock. 'Sesshomaru,' she thought stunned.
"It figures that Inuyasha's wench would be the kind to wear a hat in weather such as this," Sesshomaru said with a barely noticeable smirk. He then placed the hat on her head before he turned around and left.
Kagome couldn't do anything but gape and watch as the dog demon walked away. Did he... did he... did Sesshomaru do something nice?!?

"Hey Kagome! What are you doing?" Shippo asked as he climbed over the hill to see her kneeling on the ground and holding onto her hat that was in her hands.
She didn't answer and Shippo walked closer to her worriedly. "Are you okay?"
"Wench, what are you doing sitting around? We need to go get the jewel shards!" Inuyasha said gruffly as he climbed over the hill. He sniffed a bit and his eyes widened. "What the hell is my brother's scent doing on that hat thing of yours?!?"
