Disclaimer: Look, I don't own Inuyasha, if I did. That unmistakable sexual tension between Sesshoumaru and Kagome? It would have been acted upon. And it hasn't, so odviously, it still belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. oh yah, and on a side note, i'm not making a profit off of this.
Note: Alright. Slightly Psychotic, formerly known as ItsyBitsySpider, is my beta.
Wreathed in Smiles
Sesshomaru had watched in fascination as they brought out different things to hang around the house. The strangest being a wreath of branches, adorned with ribbons and poinsettia. They took that out to hang on the front door.
His Human, Kagome, stopped part way though, looking down at him with a thoughtful look.
Not knowing as to what was preoccupying her thoughts, he merely wagged his tail at her, eliciting a giggle.
She took the wreath and placed it around his neck, and the other humans cooed and laughed about it being the only ornament big enough for him to wear as decoration.
He found it annoying, but deemed it a necessary evil, since it made her smile.
Standing up on his hind legs, he rested his front legs on her shoulders and still towered over her. She laughed as she tried to keep her balance while he licked at her face. "Oof. Get off, you big lug."
"But Kags, look above you, Prince is only following tradition," Miroku laughed, pointing up at the door frame.
When they looked up, there was indeed Mistletoe above them in the doorway. And looking back at his Kagome's smiling face, Sesshomaru had a satisfying thought: He was wreathed in branches, but she was wreathed in smiles.
