Kagome was sound asleep in her room, mumbling something about cupcakes in her sleep. Sesshomaru, however, was not asleep. He was sitting in his room on his bed plotting his revenge for a prank that Kagome had pulled on him earlier that day. Suddenly, and idea came to him, causing an evil grin to spread across his face. He quickly stood up and crept out of his room. He walked quietly down the stairs and picked up an ugly wooden footstool that was sitting in the living room. As much as he wanted to get rid of the thing, he found himself greatly loving the fact that he hadn't done so yet.
Being very quiet, he crept back up the stairs and set the stool down. He then slowly, silently, opened Kagome's door. The door creaked a little and he cringed, but she didn't wake. She just yawned and shifted slightly in her sleep, rolling over onto her back.
Perfect.
Satisfied that she wasn't going to wake, he picked the stool up again and tiptoed into her room. He carefully placed the stool so that it was standing up on her bed right over her head. With everything in place, he took a few steps back and set his prank into action. Taking a deep breath, he yelled, "KAGOME!"
With a shriek, she sat bolt upright in her bed, hitting her head on the stool as she did so. A loud thunk accompanied her movement. She clutched her forehead as the stool clattered to the floor and Sesshomaru laughed. "Oww… Sesshomaru, what the hell was that for?!" she demanded, glaring heatedly at him.
"Payback's a bitch," he replied with a laugh as he retreated to his room before she could retaliate.
Oh, payback's a bitch alright! Kagome thought furiously as she began plotting her revenge.
