Mellow

A/N: I’m starting another drabble series. I need something to get the creative juices flowing, so I thought this would be a joyful little fix. I’m going off a 100 word prompt table, though I can’t say how long this will actually be.

Disclaimer: This will be for every chapter of this story (so I don’t have to continue rewriting it) - I do not own or lay claim to Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi is the brilliant creator of the Inuyasha series.

Adventitious (adjective)

1. Associated with something by chance rather than as an integral part; extrinsic.

2. Botany, Zoology. Appearing in an abnormal or unusual position or place, as a root.

Mellow:

Kagome surveyed her new apartment proudly, like a King surveying his domain. Unopened boxes crowded the corners and muddy footprints trailed from front door to kitchen, proclaiming the place in a state of just-moved-in disarray. The weekend spread before Kagome in a tableau of unpacking, organizing and cleaning, but the mellow enticement of her living room window caught her attention first.

Only a solid brick wall was her view from where she stood, but with a smile flitting across her lips Kagome peered below her window to the base of the brick wall. A small garden sprawled invitingly in the dainty courtyard, lush and vibrant, a Picasso of wildflowers and sprouting trees, laced with a weaving pebble walking path.

Kagome slid her window open, inviting in the cool spring air, hoping for a tantalizing whiff of the shrubbery only three stories below. Despite her obligations, Kagome settled herself for some calming flower watching, drifting to sleep with the chime of branches creaking in the breeze.

Her last thought drifted softly through her mind.

I wonder who takes care of it…?
