Pajamas

Chapter VI

Prompt: pajamas (Sunset Miko’s once a Week Challenge)

          Sixteen year old Sesshomaru Taisho awoke to the annoying ringing sounds of his alarm. Groaning he reached out a pale arm and slapped the snooze button. Throwing off the navy covers, he swung his pajama clad legs out of the bed. The navy pajama bottoms rode low on slender hips as he strolled to the closet and pulled out his school uniform. He walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower and got dressed.

          On his way downstairs, Sesshomaru paused at his little sister’s bedroom and peeked inside. He wanted to make sure Rin was up and getting ready, as well. But the ten year old girl wasn’t there. With a frown pulling at the corners of his mouth, Sesshomaru headed for the kitchen to speak with his mother. He walked down the stairs and headed through the hallway. And there they were seated, his mother, little sister, and grandfather.

          His mother looked up from the stove to smile and say, “Good morning, Sesshomaru.” She walked over and kissed his cheek before continuing, “Happy birthday.”

          Rin was the next to speak up and she chirped, “Happy birthday, oni-chan.” Sesshomaru nodded at his sister before taking a seat at the table across from his grandfather.

          It was sometime later during one of his grandfather’s stories, that he noticed Rin and their cat Buyo missing. Taking a quick glance at the clock, Sesshomaru saw that it was getting closer to the time he and Rin left for school. Excusing himself, Sesshomaru headed outside towards the shrine grounds. Passing the Sacred Tree, Sesshomaru spotted Rin at the doors leading into the well house.
