He heard Rin giggle. His eyes darted to the smiling boy.

Kagome swatted his arm. “Stop being so damn nosy. They’re only over there talking.”

Sesshomaru looked at her with indignation. “Your kit sexual assaulted my daughter.”

“OMG, Snowy! It was a kiss. They barely grazed lips. Let it go, man. Geez!” She twirled around him with his purple scarf. “Plus, it was an accident and you know it.”

Sesshomaru’s gaze went back to the children.

Kagome pouted and crossed her arms. “My kit doesn’t have any game. He’s just over there running his mouth. I’m telling you, Flowers is gonna be fine. She can handle herself, you know?”

He huffed and continued to watch.

Kagome sighed. “I can’t believe this.” She took a few steps and turned. “Looks like you have no game either.”

“Excuse me?”

“Did I stutter?” Her hands manned her hips as she leaned on a boot. “Game recognize game and you lookin’ unfamiliar.” That caught his attention. He was right in front of her before she knew it.

“Well, you’re right about one thing. I’m not game I’m the predator.”

Kagome snorted. “Yeah, sure. The only thing you’ve hunted was how to be lame. I doubt there’s a single adventurous bone in your body.”

His golden eye twitched. “Care to bet?”

“It’s your funeral.” Kagome scowered the crowd and smirked, “That one over there.” She pointed to a blonde in long red coat.

Sesshomaru sized up the slim figure. “Easy picking.”

“Yeah, we’ll see.”  Kagome followed him a little ways and watched.

He eased up behind the person and smoothly delivered his first line. “You must be a ticket ‘cause you got fine written all over you.”

“That’s the cheesiest thing I’ve ever heard but tell me more,” the baritone cooed. The man turned around and flipped his hair. His lips were painted fuchsia, his eyelids forest green. “You’re even cuter than I imagined.” He winked seductively and blew a kiss. “This cookie’s ready to crumble. We can go to your place…or mine.”

Five long painfully awkward minutes later Kagome came to the rescue. Chrystal finally released Sesshomaru, but not after insisting he take his number first.

The small index card crumbled in his hand. He threw it in first wastebasket he saw. Sesshomaru growled barring his teeth. “I could kill you for setting that trap.”

Kagome nearly choked in laughter.

Sesshomaru stopped. “Where are the kids?”

They were nowhere to be seen.
