Waking myself up every morning isn't a problem, no matter how much I love my sleep. The problem I have is waking up to Jaken's annoying screeching about lazy humans and the sorts. So yes, today was one of those "waking up to death howls" kind of days. These kind of days make me want to put subjugation beads on Jaken. Oh, I forgot to explain what those beads are!
Now, before Sesshomaru's group starting travelling with mine, I was used to Inuyasha's morning screeching. Usually, it was the same topic (lazy humans) but more so directed at me. "Lazy, useless wench," "dumb shard detector," and "worthless bitch" seemed to be his favorites. When his insults ended, they ended because I sat his ass to oblivion and back. By sitting him, I mean using his subjugation beads to make an Inuyasha-sized hole in the earth.
Inuyasha's beads use the command "sit" to make Inuyasha submit to me. When Inuyasha is forced to submit, his body slams into the ground just hard enough to make him stop being a pain. However, the beads only last for a few seconds so he gets right back up and starts his dumb-assery again. Depending on how irritated Inuyasha makes me, I can sit him as many times as I want, whenever I want. Sesshomaru usually gets a real kick out of the beads. I can tell from the tiny gleam he gets in his eyes. The gleam is a nice change from his normally stoic face.

It was a lovely morning that surrounded the pack as Kagome prepared to make breakfast. She set out her portable wire wrack over the unlit fire and waited patiently for Lord Sesshomaru to bring back the game he had hunted. Kagome busied herself with packing up her sleeping bag, along with her pack mates. The wait for Sesshomaru was short lived as he gracefully carried two skinned and cleaned boar carcasses over to Kagome and set them down in front of her.
With a sigh, Kagome picked up a knife and began cutting neat slices of meat and placing them on the wire wrack. She lit a match and tossed it to the pit under the wrack of meat. Without turning towards the Demon Lord, Kagome spoke "I see your hunt went well, Sesshomaru. Thank you for the boar meat." And of course, his gave his reply, "Hn." Kagome's eye twitched in annoyance.
"You know what?! I try being civil with you and I get a two letter reply, if any reply at all. The least you could do is have a small, decent conversation with me!" Kagome mumbled under her breath. She knew Sesshomaru could hear her and had no reason nor need to speak louder. Unbeknownst to Kagome, she had a set of golden colored eyes were on her.
"Miko. Come with this Sesshomaru," Kagome tensed at the sound of the Daiyoukai's voice. All eyes were on her as she slowly rose and turned towards Sesshomaru. "Yes, Sesshomaru," Kagome replied and made a move to follow him. A hand wrapped around Kagome's arm. Sango's voice rang out, "Kagome, will you be okay?" Kagome smiled and nodded at Sango and continued towards Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru and Kagome walked away from the group for about twenty minutes, just until they reached a small clearing. Kagome, who was lost in her surroundings, ran into the demon's back with an "Oomph!" Before she could fall, Sesshomaru caught her wrist and held her upright. "Um, what did you want to talk about Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked nervously.
