Kagome giggled as she watched Sesshomaru struggle. It was just to cute. He had lost their bet so she made him eat peanut butter. Now he had it stuck to the roof of his mouth, and was frantically trying to pry it down with his tongue before Inuyasha got back and saw him.
He had begun traveling with their group after Naraku had injured Rin in an attempt to kidnap her. While this was all fine, Inuyasha had pitched a fit, worse than when she tried to go home. So now Inuyasha had taken to hiding away at night after everyone had gone to sleep leaving Sesshomaru to watch over the group.
They had become friends. Sort of....
So she stayed up sometimes to keep him company, whether by telling him about the future or playing games, like tonight.
His eyes were flashing red as he heard the miko giggle.
“You will cease your giggling and aid this one!”
“Nope. Sorry, no can do. You lost. Now you have to suffer the consequences.”
“This one never loses....you cheated.”
“I didn’t cheat. It’s not my fault you aren’t perfect.”
“You have an unfair advantage. This one has never played before.”
“That’s a lie, and from the honorable Lord Sesshomaru, who never lies.”
“I did not lie, human.”
“Yes you did. This is the fourth round and you still can’t beat me. I thought you were a fast learner.”
Finally, swallowing the peanut butter Sesshomaru leveled the miko with a glare. He could hear Inuyasha returning and knew tomorrow would be hard since the miko would wish to sleep in as she had stayed up late with him again.
“Go to bed. Inuyasha is returning.”
“Fine, Fluffy-chan. Have it your way,” Kagome replied crawling over and into her sleeping bag carfully so as not to wake Shippo.
“You are not to call me that,” the dog demon growled.
“Only when others can hear,” she yawned before curling up around Shippo and falling asleep.
Only after Inuyasha returned and hopped onto a tree branch did he let his mind relax.
There was no way he was ever playing Go Fish with the miko again because the only way she could have won was to cheat.
