Response to r0o's Vegas challenge (#2). Because I couldn't help myself.
Sesshoumaru sighed as the hot water rippled down his sore back muscles. It had been the better part of a year since he'd been to the golf range and played 18 holes while concentrating on playing as badly as a human would, had taken its toll on his body. Pressing one of the buttons on the fancy shower this hotel room sported, he shivered as the stream shifted into a pounding pulse and finally started to ease some of the tightness. So entranced was he that he lost track of time until he heard the ominous sound of the suite's door closing.
"Kagome?" Sesshoumaru turned off the water and opened the sliding door. "Kagome, is that you?" When there was no response, he cussed and grabbed the robe on the back of the door, flinging open the door dreading what he would find.
There on the floor lay two toddler pull-ups, two half-empty bottles of juice and...no children. Knowing the pups still transformed when startled or scared, he raced to the door and ran out into the hall. He heard childish giggling coming from the left. Using his demon speed, he raced down the hallway trying to capture the tykes. He watched in horror as the elevator doors suddenly opened and the children started to enter. They had been entranced by the big metal box during their arrival yesterday and Sesshoumaru should have known to start there.
In his haste, he failed to heed the puddle on the floor in front of the doors and slid when his bare foot hit the wet tile floor. Arms windmilling, even his speed couldn't save him. The quiet sound of the doors closing behind him was the last thing he heard before black met his eyes.
When Sesshoumaru came to, he was surprised to find two small bodies curled up against him on the couch. He was covered in a thick blanket and an icepack shifted against the back of his head when he turned at the noise.
Kagome clucked her tongue at him when she noticed he was awake. "Feel okay dear?"
"What?" He looked at the two small bodies curled up next to him. "How?"
"Who, Why and When?" Kagome smiled and settled on the floor near his head. "Two naked cherubs came out of the elevator as I was entering the lobby." She gently ran her hand down the back of one such sleeping demons. "I was more than surprised to find you passed out in the hotel corridor in my kimono, sans underwear."
Sesshoumaru started to sit up but the throbbing in the back of his head stopped him. "I was in the shower."
Kagome glared at him. "And why were you in the shower?"
Sesshoumaru frowned. "You are not blaming this on me. You're the one that insisted we join Lucy and Logan for their Las Vegas wedding." Suddenly he growled. "Did anyone else see?"
Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." She stood and took the sleeping children from her husband so he could rest. "But I was offered a million dollars if you would pose as David Bowie for a woman's private party." Kagome left the room before she could see his face contort in horror.
Closing his eyes against both the mental image and the pounding between his eyes, Sesshoumaru swore that he would always keep a bathrobe in every bathroom he used.
