Kagura can pretend that yes is an answer that she always receives and she can also pretend she's free. But she's never been a good actor so the answer she always gets is no, no and shut up or I'll absorb you.

She might pretend not to hear the last one.

There's only one 'no' that she loves to receive and that one comes up in the conversation when they're sprawled all over each other, grass stains in her clothes and hay in her hair. She can feel her his leg pressed up against hers and his arm bracing her loosely against him while the heat of his body lulls her into a sleepy state of mind. Kagura's fingering the white satiny material of his shirt idly wondering if she could steal some from some village later while he closes his eyes and pretends to sleep.

He's not very good at pretending either.

Kagura lazily rolls over and props her head up on his chest. He ignores her closed lids enhancing those wonderfully purple markings.

"Ses-shou-maru" She croons softly.

No response.

She reaches out to flick his nose but he catches her wrist in a tight grip, eyes still closed. The feel of his skin on hers in always welcomed, but he lets go quickly. Nettled, she mutters, "Are you leaving now?"

And she can feel the sun warming her neck and back as she waits for his response. He can't keep up a conversation for his life she thinks placing a chaste kiss on his chin. Sesshoumaru opens his eyes slowly and she is dazzled by the gold again and can only smile like an idiot, the sun warming her cheeks of course-as he whispers,

"No."
