While Sesshomaru was at work, Kagome was busy searching the house for something she could use to get back at him for his late-night prank the night before. She walked out to the garage and dug through some of her old boxes, a smile spreading across her face as she found package after package of unopened red solo cups (all of which were left over from many past birthday parties at the shrine) in a box toward the back of the garage. Slowly a plan began to form in her mind. She grabbed the box and went back inside. Then she went into the kitchen and set to work.
When Sesshomaru came home later that night, he was exhausted. As much as he enjoyed his job, it took a lot out of him sometimes. He climbed the stairs to his room, careful to keep quiet so that he didn't wake Kagome, and stepped into his room with a yawn and felt something tug at his leg. Suddenly, he was on the ground, soaking wet. He quickly sat up again and looked around his room, his eyes wide.
There was (or rather, had been) a string stretched across his doorframe close to the ground, which had caused him to trip, and there were red solo cups placed all over his room. They were all over the place: on the floor, on his desk, on his bed, on his dresser, in his open closet, in his empty laundry basket, on the trunk at the foot of his bed… And they were all filled with water. Muttering crossly to himself, he began to clean up his room while Kagome laughed quietly to herself in bed.
When Sesshomaru got to the last cup, he got an idea. He snuck down the hall and opened Kagome's door. She was asleep by this time, though he was sure she hadn't been half an hour before when he'd discovered the cups. He crept over to the side of her bed, careful not to spill a single drop of water, and dumped the cup over her head. She awoke with a shriek and he quickly retreated to his room, laughing the whole way.
