"What should we do first Sesshoumaru?" Kagome grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the rides. "Let's ride the merry-go-round. Oh no," She pointed to the Ferris wheel. "Let's go over there."
They heard a loud chuckle behind them and looked to see Sesshoumaru's father carrying his younger brother in his arms. "You're quite a chipper little thing aren't you dear?"
Kagome nodded in agreement but didn't respond. "Well don't wander too far you two. Behave."
Sesshoumaru took her first to the go-karts and then to the Ferris wheel. He agreed to bring her to the tea cups after they rode the roller coaster. Kagome screamed throughout the entire ride but once they got off she wanted to go again. She said it was her favorite. They rode the pirate ship next and when they finally got into the teacups Sesshoumaru made sure they had the fastest spinning one. They decided to take a break after when Sesshoumaru almost got sick from dizziness.
"Are you hungry Kagome?" Then they shared a box of taffy. Kagome wanted pink and Sesshoumaru wanted blue so they got a box with several different mixtures. "Are you having fun? You seem sad still. We can go home if you wish."
"I'm having lots of fun. Papa used to bring me on these rides at home. I just miss him."
"Hn. Where do you want to go next?"
They didn't go on any other rides, instead choosing to walk around several of the game booths. When Sesshoumaru's father saw them return at the end of the day he was surprised to see his son holding hands with the girl. In his other Sesshoumaru carried a box of some kind and Kagome clutched a small stuffed animal to her chest. "What do you have their Kagome?"
"It's a baby sheep!"
"It is a lamb, Kagome."
"Right a lamb. Sesshoumaru won it for me from one of the games. Isn't he cute?" When she held it up for inspection the toddler in his arms reached forward to grab the toy. She withdrew it sharply before he could take it from her.
"Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru warned. "That does not belong to you."
Inuyasha crossed his arms and huffed but didn't argue with his brother. "Keh. I didn't want it anyway. Stupid toy."
The drive home was spent in silence. When the car stopped in front of Kagome's home she pecked Sesshoumaru on the cheek to thank him before scurrying out and up her walkway without looking back.
His father's eyes twinkled with mirth from the front seat. Sesshoumaru scoffed but couldn't stop the blush that spread across his cheeks. Or the smile that graced his lips when they drove away.
