"Hmmm," said Kagome, "so this is for hypnotizing people?"

She held up a small circle of plastic on a string with a red spiral coloured on it.

"Uh-huh," Souta nodded. "Just wave it in front of their face, and they will be instantly hypnotized."

"Okaaay, but if it doesn't work…" she trailed off threateningly.

"It'll work," said her brother.

"Well, thanks," Kagome stood up and ran off to the well. She hopped in and climbed out the other side.

"Look who finally came back," said Inuyasha, who was sitting on the edge of the well and looking bored.

"Nice to see you too, Inuyasha," Kagome ran right past him, intent on finding a certain taiyoukai, and into the woods.

"SESSHOUMARU!" she called, "SESSHOOOOOUMARUUUUUU!"

She ran further in.

"SESSHOUMARU! I know you're in here! SESSHOUMARU!"

"Miko."

Kagome jumped and whirled to see the object of her search standing in the gap between two trees.

"Hi!" she waved cheerily. Sesshoumaru glared at her. "C'mere."

"Why?" he demanded.

"Because I said so," Kagome rolled her eyes, fingering the hypno-charm in her pocket. Slowly and cautiously, Sesshoumaru came down onto the path, the fluffy-thing swaying in the light breeze.

"What do you want with me?" his hand rested on Tokijin.

"Watch the circle," Kagome held out the charm and swung it back and forth slowly. Sesshoumaru's amber eyes followed the spiral, back and forth, back and forth…

"Now," said Kagome, gathering up the charm. Sesshoumaru stared at her. "Let's see… um, run into a tree."

Sesshoumaru ran headlong into a tree.

"Ouch," Kagome winced. "I guess it's working. Okay, now… do ballet."

Sesshoumaru suddenly was wearing a tiny pink tutu that Kagome swore had just appeared out of nowhere. He had the little pink tank-top, and the tiny, frilly, mini-skirt, and was also wearing light pink tights and ballet shoes.

"Whoa…" said Kagome, marveling at his outfit.

Sesshoumaru jumped into the air and twirled around, the fluffy-thing flying out behind him. He landed with his feet splayed and one hand above his head. He jumped up again, one leg stretched out in front of him, and the other behind. His arms went out to the sides, and he flew through the air.

Kagome watched him, amazed.

"Okay, okay, stop," she said, "how are you so good at ballet?"

Sesshoumaru returned to his usual costume and a slight blush covered his cheeks.

"I um, I do…" he said the rest of it so quietly Kagome couldn't hear.

"Pardon?" she asked. He looked up from the ground.

"Idoballetinmysparetime," he muttered.

"I still can't make that out," said Kagome.

"I DO BALLET IN MY SPARE TIME!" he screamed.

Kagome sweat-dropped and stepped back a little.

"You—you do ballet!"

"Shut up."

"HAHAHAHA! SESSHOUMARU DOES BALLET!" she shrieked as loud as she could. Sesshoumaru put a hand to his face and sighed. He was never going to live this down.

Yeah, yeah, short, I know. It was based on a game my little cousins and I were playing. They're 7 and 9 years old. It was funnier in the game, I think. Ah well.
