Title: Bumps and Bruises

Type: Drabbles

Pairing: Sesshoumaru/Kagome

Summary: After being late to work, Kagome accidentally bumps into her future. Soon enough, she realizes that it seems like he's doing it on purpose too.


o19. Dearest

It had been two months since Kagome's outburst towards Sesshoumaru and ever since then, he had not bothered her about it at work.

In fact, she hadn't heard a peep from him since then.

For some reason, it made Kagome sad. She knew now that Sesshoumaru didn't see her and her brothers as a pitiful family and that he respected their way of life, but Kagome still felt odd that he wanted them to be friends. Why would a billionaire like him want to be friends with the Higurashi siblings?

"Kagome, can you hand me that Mom's ornament?"

Snapping out of her thoughts, Kagome smiled and handed Souta a sparkly blue ornament. It had been their mother's favorite ornament when she was a child and when she passed on, the three of them would always put the ornament near the star and next to their father's own favorite ornament. Miroku was busy putting up lights around the shrine and had put his younger siblings in charge of decorating the tree. So far, it was filled with colorful ornaments and lots of tinsel.

At the sound of a ladder clanking and footsteps, both Kagome and Souta stopped what they were doing to ask Miroku what took him so long, but what they saw surprised them both. There was Miroku, carrying a ladder and being helped by Sesshoumaru.

"What's he doing here?!" Kagome shrieked, as Sesshoumaru threw her a sheepish smile.

"Sesshoumaru wanted to drop by and see if we needed help with anything," Miroku explained as he put down the ladder and wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

Kagome grunted. "Sesshoumaru? Since when did you two get friendly?"

"Your brother and I have a lot in common, Ka-go-me," Sesshoumaru teased, accepting the drink that Miroku handed him.

Souta snickered at the incredulous look that Kagome gave the two men. "Excuse me, did you just say that you and my brother have a lot in common? What? Are you two dating now?" Rolling her eyes, Kagome continued to place ornaments on the tree, still irritated that Sesshoumaru was once again in her home—uninvited by her.

Didn't he live in a mansion somewhere? Why couldn't he be there with his family, decorating his own Christmas tree?

"It's actually funny that you say that, sister dearest," Miroku started, throwing Sesshoumaru a look that Kagome didn't really quite understand.

"Funny? Why is it funny?" Now she was just plain annoyed. What were these two playing at? Two months ago, Miroku would have pissed his pants just standing right next to Sesshoumaru—and now they looked like they've been best friends since their diaper days.

Attempting to stifle his chuckle, Miroku walked over to his sister and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Sesshoumaru and I are definitely not dating." Giving her shoulders a squeeze, Miroku gave Sesshoumaru an approving look before looking down at his sister and shrugging his shoulders.

"But he does want to take you out on a date."
