The rain tapped gently against Kagome's window as she sat on the floor of her office, finishing Kikyo's dress. She knew how eager and impatient most families were around their weddings, but her boss's family went beyond that. Kagome was getting calls at all hours of the night and the day for a solid week after she had said that the dress and the tux were the only things left that she had to do herself. She had lied, and they eventually caught on that they had to get their hands on some very specific shoes for everyone.
In any case, she was finally finished with the dress. If they weren't like family to her, then she would not have spent seven whole days on it, nor would she have let them continue calling her every half hour. Like clockwork, her phone rang. "Yes, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked patiently.
"What do I do about pictures? Is the dress done? Should we take pictures before the wedding?" There was a jumble of other questions, comments, and profanities following that, which Kagome ignored.
"I just finished the dress. I have to do your vest then you'll be done too. You take some pictures of just the wedding party next Wednesday, then you hire someone from the list I sent you last night and tell them to put half their people on posed pictures, half on candid. Have you guys gotten the shoes yet?"
"The shoes? Oh! The shoes! Yeah; I'll bring them to you now!" Inuyasha practically shouted the last part. Kagome winced and muttered 'okay' then hung up the phone.
"The dress is beautiful." a voice said. Kagome looked towarads her little 'passage'. It was open. But there was no one there. She turned in circles looking for the source of the voice, but she couldn't find it. A little overwhelmed, Kagome turned back to the dress's sash to inspect it. He was sitting cross-legged right in front of her. Kagome did something between a yelp and a scream, dropping the sash she had just picked up. "That's a little offensive, Kagome."
Kagome shook her head, "How did you--?"
"How didn't I?" he retorted before she decided how she would end her question. Kagome took a beanie hat off of her desk with someone's logo on it, and pulled it down over her eyes.
"You're not here!" she said
"Yes I am, Kagome." a voice said directly into her ear. The beanie was quickly pulled off of her head and Kagome was face to face with Sesshomaru, who was now next to her. Dispite her original nonchalantness about him, she was starting to become a little afraid.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha's voice called into her office. "You in here?"
"Yeah," Kagome called back, she was starting to shake. Her eyes were still locked with his, even while Inuyasha walked into the room. Kagome turned to Inuyasha and motioned with her head to Sesshomaru.
"Kagome...what are you doing?" Inuyasha asked
"Is there someone next to me?!" Kagome finally screamed
Inuyasha just shook his head, "No...Kagome, are you sure you're not over worked? Maybe you should go home and get some sleep..."
Kagome turned to where Sesshomaru was sitting. He was still there. "But..."
"No, Kagome. Go home. We can get someone else to do my vest and I'm sure that you can do the shoes later. We'll take our pictures on Wednesday barefoot, we don't mind." Inuyasha pulled Kagome up off of the ground, looking over her shoulder.
Assuming he was looking at Sesshomaru, Kagome asked, "Do you see him now?!" She was starting to get a little hysterical.
"No...I was looking out the window." Ice was starting to fall instead of rain, bouncing off of her window and making tiny chipping noises. It was a little relaxing, but Kagome was still freaked out. He ushered her out of the room, looking once more back and then leaving. "Come on, Kagome. Lets just get you back home so you can sleep, then when you're feeling better you can come back okay?" Kagome just nodded and stopped saying things at risk of looking like a raving lunatic.

Kagome was back home, after being at her office for an entire day more or less. She sat on a bar stool in front of her island in the kitchen and made pancakes. She also made muffins, bagels, cereal, tea, coffee, and hot coacoa. She was the only one home -- until Sesshomaru appeared again. He picked a poppyseed muffin out of the tin it was sitting in and ate it. "This is pretty good," he announced. Kagome jumped and turned around, spatula aimed at him. "Calm down. Now what are you going to do with that?"
Kagome sighed and dropped the spatula, leaning against him for support. She was mentally exhausted, he could feel it as she breathed slowly. He picked up two more muffins, handing one to Kagome and eating the other. Then she did something he did not entirely expect. She started crying. Sesshoomaru stiffened, then patted her head lightly until something crashed through Kagome's back door. After it was completely inside the hose, however, the large hole was gone. Inside Kagome's house stood a very large bear demon.
