&*&*&*&*&

Sesshomaru glanced at the miko sitting across from him. He and Kagome had been playing cards overand over again for more than two hours. It had started when she had asked him to play a quick game of "Go Fish" with her. At first he had told her no. However, Kagome was quite persistent and begged him for over thirty minutes.

Once his eye began twitching he'd agreed to one quick game. He'd assumed he would have a quick victory and the miko would be discouraged and not want to play again. It was quite a shock when he realized she had won him. He remembered the conversation they'd had.

"Aha! I win Seshou-kun." Kagome clapped her hands happily. 

Sesshomaru stared at her in shock, he'd never lost anything before! "You lie miko! I know you cheated." He growled.

Kagome turned her nose up indignantly, "I never cheat. You're just a sore loser." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"I want a rematch." Sesshomaru glared at her, convinced she cheated. 

"Fine!" Kagome began shuffling the cards for another game.

For reasons unknown to him his losses continued. He was one pair away from winning, however so Was Kagome. This was the closest he'd come to winning all night and he knew that if he wanted to win he had to think fast. 'If only there were some way to look at her cards.' he thought. But he knew that would be near impossible, Kagome was smart and kept her cards out of his view.

'I Wonder...'

He started leaning toward her. 

"What do you think you're doing?" Kagome raised her brow at him, "Are you trying to cheat?"

"Of course not." Sesshomaru said while still leaning toward her, "I just thought there were better games we could play.." He said in a seductive purr.

He was clse enough that they could feel eachother's breath across their cheeks. Kagome's heart thudded in her chest and a blush crept into her cheeks. "Wha-" She was cut off when Sesshomaru's lips touched hers. She leaned into the kiss closing her eyes, not knowing that his were wide open staring at her cards. 

"AHA!" Sesshomaru jumped back in triumph leaving Kagome red faced and angry.

"WHAT THE HELL SESSHOMARU ??!!" 

Ignoring her question he asked happily, "Do you happen to have a Queen of Hearts?"

"You cheater!" Kagome threw the card at him and stomped to their bedroom. 

Sesshomaru grinned triumphantly, "I Won."
