"And that's Halloween!"

Sesshoumaru made no move to let her know he'd understood the explanation of the holiday from her time, but Kagome knew 'nothing' meant more than 'something' from the silver-haired youkai.

He shifted his body, resting fully against the Goshimboku.

Autumn was in full effect now: shades of orange, yellow, brown and red littered the green pasture around them. "What…" he asked, the corner of his lips curving in a mocking fashion, "are you supposed to be?"

Kagome grinned and struck a pose. "I'm a cat, of course!"

Her teeth sparkled brightly against the contrast of whatever ungodly dark goop covered her skin. The pointy appendages on top of her head shifted as she moved. The fact she had chosen a feline to dress as for her odd celebration was disconcerting, to say the least. "Hm."

Kagome giggled and leaned forward to place a kiss on the taiyoukai's lips. She was greeted by air and almost toppled down in a heap of black lyrcra and fake fur. She pursed her lips in confusion and annoyance, glaring at Sesshoumaru from under blackened lashes. A single silver eyebrow arched high with incredulity to what she had just tried to do, was her only explanation. He sniffled disapprovingly.

"Your face paint, miko. It shall soil this Sesshoumaru's face."

The sight of Kagome's mouth hanging wide open could only be challenged by the fire that lit her cerulean eyes furiously, and he struggled to maintain his stoic expression.

Kagome sputtered in disbelief and disgust; her back arched straight, shoulders tensed, her cheeks turned red, breath shortened… he could do nothing but be mesmerized by this saucy girl who had enough spunk for all of Japan.

"And, I swear, it's the LAST time I try to – are you even LISTENING to me?!"

Fabric rustled. Hair was swept to the side in a nonchalant motion. Breath hitched. Lips parted. Bodies meshed. He cradled her tiny waist with his strong, toned arm. She watched him from beneath heavy-lidded eyes.

One amused demon lord smirked.

"Meow." He purred in a teasing, velvet voice and sealed his lips against hers.


Author's Note: Well, this is my first drabble! I was jogging and wondered what Halloween would be like for the Inuyasha cast… I typed it down on my cell phone and wrote it on my laptop as soon as I got home. Kag/Sess is my favorite pairing, although I might do others if I get the inspiration from it.

It's almost Halloween. Yay! :)
