go ahead! I like the challenge! Anyway, enjoy the first installment of Sesskag Cookies, for a

Happy New Year!


Tap. Tap. Tap.

Amber eyes twitched in annoyance. That incessant tapping Rin's
caretaker was causing was NOT helping. Seriously, he had to have the worst
luck on earth or something. First the lords all got on his back about mating
their useless daughters. Then Jaken made the kitchen over somehow with
Sesshomaru wallpaper and pictures while making lunch, which was hell to
clean up. Then Rin starts bleeding all over the place, which made the palace
panic, as it had only demon staff, and that annoying girl laugh. And now he
was stuck in his office, attempting to plan for the annual ball. Which was
three moons away. And he was supposed to have a mate, or at least be
seriously courting someone, by that time. AND he hadn't found a single
worthy female remotely worth his affections.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

DAMN IT ALL! There was that noise again! Poison sizzled at the
tips of his claws, hand twitching under the desk. The young demon lord
glared up at the source of his most recent trouble, anger flaring under the
calm golden depths of his eyes. That damn girl was smiling back, tapping her
hand again on the edge of his desk. AGAIN.
Sesshomaru growled at her through clenched teeth. "What do you
want from this Sesshomaru?"
Kagome cocked her head, innocent cerulean eyes blinking down at
him. A slender finger tapped the tip of her chin. "For you to take a break.
Besides, dinner's ready, and the other lords are waiting."
He almost snapped her neck right then. But he reigned himself in,
satisfied for now with just mangling the underside of his desk. He took in a
sharp breath. "Why did you not just say so?"
Kagome smiled. "Because I know you hate those stick-up-the-ass
bastards. I could tell them you're busy or asleep." Her hands were clasped
behind her back, and she leaned over his paperwork to keep him from ignoring
her.
Sesshomaru scowled. She knew just how to make or break his day,
didn't she? "It's fine. I'll go."
Kagome raised a brow, straightening up. Her fists were clenched at
her sides, but they quickly relaxed. Sesshomaru blinked at the action. "You
realize that the daughters will be present as well. They did not plan to tell
you."
Sesshomaru frowned. So the old bastards had planned on setting
him up. Good thing Kagome was here to warn him of such things. If anyone,
SHE was the-
He froze mid-thought. His hands had suddenly relaxed, his eyes
wide. Golden depths suddenly seemed vulnerable, scared of realization.
Kagome waved a hand in front of his face, which was now planted on the
desk. She shook her head and sighed. "Finally collapsed from exhaustion. Guess
that counts as sleeping."
Kagome hummed to herself, smiling as she thought of her 'Lord and
Master', as Jaken so lovingly put it. She walked confidently into the dining
hall, as showing any sign of fear to the court of royals could be seen as
weakness and exploited. The Northern Lord, a serpent youkai, played boredly
with the edge of his tablecloth. The dining hall was spacious, fine, and filled
with a total of eleven youkai, and one priestess. Everyone was already eating,
and the five eligible princesses seemed to scowl at Kagome.
Who just smiled serenely. She gave a small formal bow, raven locks
attempting to fall over her shoulders. "I'm sorry, but Sesshomaru-san is
currently occupied. He passed out from lack of sleep, I believe."
The Eastern Lady looked up from her plate, lips pursed. "He's been
working that hard on the ball? Really?"
Kagome gave another, smaller smile, cocking her head with the
action. Several princesses scowled deeper at the motion. "Yes. Among other
matters. He has quite a lot on his plate, so to speak."
The Southern Lady narrowed her eyes. She leaned back in her chair,
folding her arms to seem more intimidating. "I see. So, ningen, we can assume
you harbor feelings for Sesshomaru."
The entire room was suddenly tense, both unnerved and curious.
The princesses especially. All eyes turned to Kagome. The priestess clasped her
hands in front of her, cocking her head in a very concious motion, eyes
calculating. Her smile was almost a smirk, warning the youkai not to piss her
off. "Of course I do. If I did not at least care for him as a companion, savior, or
friend, I wouldn't be here, now would I?" She bowed, the air suddenly
becoming relaxed. "If you wouldn't mind, I'll have to excuse myself. Rin must
be seen to, and you need to finish dinner before the palace gates are locked
up."
With that, she started to walk away. The princess of the South
suddenly stood, youkai flaring. "You may NOT go!" The youkai slammed her
palms to the table for emphasis, lips pursed and face a light pink. She stalked
towards the ningen priestess, unconsciously retaining her ladylike posture even
while stomping. She stopped just short of Kagome, eyes squeezed shut. Her
fists were clenched tight at her sides, a stream of blood from each. "Do you or
do you NOT love Lord Sesshomaru?!"
Kagome's eyes blinked twice, and she thought over the question. No
clear answer was in her mind's eye, so she settled for furrowed brows, pursed
lips, and an inclined head. "I am unsure. Now stop prying in my personal
affairs, princess, I must be going. Enjoy your dinner."
The priestess left, deep in thought, and leaving four confused youkai
lords. The women all seemed somewhat sober. The East Lord frowned. "How
can one be unsure of their own feelings?"
The Northern princess glanced down sadly to her lap. "It means
right now she could be loving him as a brother, or a lover. It really depends on
his actions now if she fall for him."
The Southern Lady sighed, staring up at the ceiling, arms hanging
loose by her side. "A girl only reacts like that if she's had her heart broken.
Poor thing."
The lords and ladies were quiet the rest of the meal. Nobody dared
ask the important question. They were all too afraid, knowing the answer in
their hearts. Every time he glanced at the priestess, or the warm honey gold
directed towards his ward and her caretaker. They finished shortly before
lights out, heading soberly back to their respective rooms. Each when thinking
silently in their heads...
... But does Sesshomaru love HER?


A/N: For all Inukag fans out there, I do NOT plan on bashing him! I might bash Kikyo,

But only if I need a character to bash that isn't Jaken. And to all you Sessrin fans, Rin will not be a bitch,

unlike in some other fanfics I've read. Hopefully I can update daily, it really just depends. Hooray for mah first fanfic post!
