Summary: He finally lets his guard down, and look what happens…
He could hear the tinkle of devious giggling as it entered his subconscious. He dared not open his eyes, for fear of what he might find if he did.
One would think that after having been a feudal era lord, one that has felled numerous demons and humans alike in his time, that he would finally be able to rest, comfortable in the knowledge that no harm would come to him in his sleep. One would also think that his wife, who had knowledge of just how much fighting he had done in his long life, would allow him to close his eyes in peace.
She was the only one he was so comfortable with.
Was being the key word.
Now he knew her to be the she-devil as more giggling and whispering reached his sensitive ears. He had half a mind to teach the unruly females a lesson.
"I think it's missing something," a small voice declared.
There was a brief silence before the voice of his wife was heard. "You know, I think you're right Tsukiko. I just can't figure out what it is that we need…"
If his eyes had not been shut he would have glared at the woman for her teasing tone. Perhaps he should put an end to these shenanigans now before he would really regret it.
"I know what's we need!" the high-pitched voice rang out jubilantly. He listened, still feigning sleep as little footsteps raced down the hallway for a while before they came back.
"I think you should put this on and then give him a big smoochy kiss," was the suggestion, accompanied by more giggles.
He frowned in his "sleep". He was sure he was not going to like this idea one bit. He could sense her getting closer, leaning in to seal his fate. With a sadistic grin he opened his eyes and growled loudly while wrapping his arms around her waist and dragging her on top of him.
A childish earsplitting scream left the lips of the little one before she laughed boisterously and ran off towards the bedroom and away from the two figures on the couch.
"Just what do you two think you're doing to this Sesshoumaru?"
Kagome reached over and grabbed a small hand-held mirror up in front of him. "Your daughter wanted to play beauty parlor," she said before giving him a bright-pink kiss.
