Sesshomaru held the ridiculously large fruit in his hands as he examined the hard green flesh. He looked toward the woman who had handed it to him.
"Miko what is this?" He asked as she rummaged through her pack.
The woman jumped with glee as she pulled a rather large knife from her bag. Sesshomaru contemplated using the oversized fruit as a shield from the weapon wielding woman.
"It is a watermelon." Kagome said as she took it from him and cut it in half. The juices dripped from her knife as she cut a few more pieces. The miko handed him one right before she began to devour her own.
"Watch out for the seeds." She said.
Before Sesshomaru could take part in the rather messy act of eating said watermelon, the miko beside him began to cough. He ignored her, as he leaned in to take a bite. The coughing became more urgent. Sesshomaru still paid no attention to Kagome's distress. Her coughing turned into gasping. Finally the demon lord looked up to see a purple faced miko. In one swift movement he hit the woman's back forcing whatever was in her throat to dislodge and to send her face first into the half of the watermelon that still remained.
Sesshomaru grinned as he looked over the woman who was covered in pink watermelon flesh and speckled with seeds. She glared at him as she began to try to clean herself up and regain some dignity.
Sesshomaru smirked. "Be mindful of the seeds Miko."
