"Where were you?"
Sesshomaru froze, eyes widening, as he tried to sneakily and oh-so quietly close the front door. He turned painstakingly to his angry mate as the lights turned on above him. Angry was an understatement—the look on his mate's angelic face was anything but angelic at the moment.
Kagome sat on the recliner of their living room clad in her nightgown, facing the front door and her conniving mate. Her fingers tapped her crossed arms as she glared at Sesshomaru, waiting for an explanation.
"Love, you're up....still..." Sesshomaru started sweetly, then under his breath he mumbled.
Sesshomaru smiled awkwardly, "I was at the store...with—Inuyasha...that...dear brother of mine."
"Drop the lies Sesshomaru Tashio and tell me where the hell you were!" Kagome shrieked, trying to stand up while holding her swollen belly, "I send you to the store and you come back four hours later!"
Sesshomaru stood before her in a flash, steadying her. Kagome pushed his hands away and glared up at him. Kagome looked down, and seeing his empty hands her lush lower lip began quivering. She turned away and angrily wiped a stray tear that escaped her attempts to hold them in.
"Kagome..." Sesshomaru began as he smelled the delicate scent of salt in the air.
"No Sesshomaru—that's it!" Kagome brushed the heavy mane of black curls over her shoulders and stomped towards the front door.
"Kagome, where are you going?" Sesshomaru demanded as he marched right behind her wadding form. Kagome threw the front door open and pulled her arms around herself as the cold night air hit her. Before she could take a step out, she looked down and found a white grocery bag on her doorstep and bent down to pick it up. Upon opening it, she found bags of assorted gummy worms, chocolates, and a jar of radish. Her angry frown quickly evaporated as she turned towards her grinning mate and slapped his arm.
"Jerk!" she hissed indignantly and brushed past him into the living room, as she opened the jar of radish and contently dipped a gummy worm before popping it into her mouth; a dreamy smile crossing her lips as she rubbed her babe-swollen belly.
