Disclaimer: Though it saddens me to say it, I don’t own anything relating to Takahashi-sensei’s Inuyasha. However, the plot and/or ideas of this drabble series do belong to me.
A/N: This is like a continuance of sorts from the last chapter. :) Update 2 of 2.
Chapter 7: Cuddle Buddy
“Maru-kun?” came a timid voice.
A younger Sesshoumaru merely arched a brow as he looked at the girl who was rocking back and forth on her heels. He leaned back against his mokomoko that was piled up behind him.
“Hn?”
Kagome blushed when his intense eyes locked with hers. “Mama wants to know if you want some hot chocolate.”
Sesshoumaru tilted his head, silently wondering why her face was a deep red, and then nodded.
“Yes, please,” he replied politely. He smiled when she gave a little squeak of excitement and ran from the room.
It was only a few moments later when she returned, carefully holding two mugs with her small hands. Not wanting her to possibly injure herself, Sesshoumaru swiftly rose to his feet and took one from her, placing it down onto the coffee table in the living room. Kagome copied his action before pulling him down to the floor and snuggling into this side. Unbeknownst to her, his cheeks gained a rosy hue as he wrapped his mokomoko around them.
“This is much better than a kotatsu!” she gushed, running her fingers through the soft fur.
Sighing, Sesshoumaru pulled her closer.
