The Taiyoukai would forever be amazed with the growth rate of ningen and their ability to make a complete mess. Kagome and Kaiya were each covered in frosting and flour, elbow deep in cookie dough as they grinned like maniacs. Both onna had tried to convince him to join, but he simply shook his head and seated himself on a nearby stool.
Sesshoumaru felt as if he was in heaven as two of his most precious people giggled uncontrollably, strongly reminding him of Rin's teenage years. He slightly shuttered remember the horror of learning that she had falling in love with his hanyou brother. He had nightmares for months.
"Sesshy-chan! Come try my cookie," Kaiya begged, looking up at him with her mother's pleading cerulean eyes. The Taiyoukai was well aware of the prank simply because of the grin on Kagome's face, yet he continued to lean in, allowing the pup to cover his markings with a mix of frosting and cookie dough. Both onna burst out laughing, stopping only when they saw the smirk on the inuyoukai's face.
"Save yourself," Kagome shouted, giggles erupting from her throat.
Kaiya took off in a flurry of giggles and fake screams of horror, Kagome close behind her. Yet they stood no chance and Sesshoumaru caught both within two strides. Before they knew it, mother and daughter were covered in even more cookie dough and gasping through laughter as claws tickled them.
"I give! I give, Sesshy-chan," Kaiya cried out. The large inuyoukai let her up with a knowing smirk.
"How do you apologize, pup?"
The little five year old reached up on her tippy-toes to plant a wet kiss upon his magenta stripes. Smiling, Sesshoumaru looked down at the panting Kagome expectantly.
"I forfeit to the all-powerful Sesshoumaru-sama, greatest Taiyoukai of the West has ever seen," the miko huffed. With a chuckle the male allowed her up, his breath catching in his throat when petal soft lips touched his cheek. His poor heart throbbed.
So this chapter is actually based on a day that my big Italian family has every year called "Cookie Day" a month or so before Christmas. The whole dang family gets together and literally makes cookies all day. It so tiring, yet so funny and we tend to end up with twenty different types of cookies and flour everywhere and cookies until after Valentine's Day! It's ridiculous, but it gave me this idea for this chapter so I hope you enjoyed!
