April 14: Children with Alopecia Day

Alopecia- loss of hair, balding

"Kagome-chan, tell that mean old fart Jaken that you were saving that lollipop for me!"

Kagome glared down at the small toad-like demon. She opened her mouth to berate him for stealing her surrogate son's last piece of candy (not that he needed anymore. Did demons get cavities?), however she was interrupted by Rin, who danced up and placed a third flower wreath on Jaken's head. Kagome and Rin already had theirs.

"Jaken-sama isn't old! He's the same age as Inuyasha-kun!"

This got the attention of everyone, minus those who already knew. And everyone's thoughts were well conveyed when Inuyasha shot out of his tree cursing, "Oh, shit, no! Me and the toad have nothing the fuck in common!" Well, well conveyed minus the cursing.

Then Miroku, ever prepared to make jokes at Inuyasha's expense, spoke up, "The man doth protest too much, methinks."

Kagome stared at Miroku, wondering how he knew that, then at Sesshoumaru when he started snickering. That's right! Snickering. Which, she supposed, was more Sesshoumaru-ish than full blown laughter. Ignoring Inuyasha, who hadn't the slightest what Miroku was talking about but was after the monk anyway, Kagome questioned, "But, if Jaken is Inuyasha's age," She was interrupted by a hearty shout of "Is NOT!" from Inuyasha, but pressed on, "then why is he bald?"

Sesshoumaru accepted the flower crown (never a wreath) from Rin stately. Afterwards, he smirked evilly down at the poor defenseless miko, "Where do you think the Staff of Two-Heads got all it's hair?"

Kagome's eyes widened and she tried to stutter out a response, which was hard with the majorly good-looking demon lord looming over her. "N-no way! Y-you're j-j-just trying to mess with me!"

Sesshoumaru shrugged and turned back to continue watching after Rin, "This Sesshoumaru does not understand your phrasing, but that was indeed false information."

Kagome gaped up at him. He really was trying to mess with her that jerk! "B-but, then how...?"

"Jaken is amphibious, is he not?" He paused as the miko nodded. "Only mammals have hair, silly little virgin."

"Oh." Kagome felt kind of dumb for not thinking of it herself, which made her wonder how Sesshoumaru would know of such things. "That makes sense."

"Kagome-chan!" Sango, who had somehow missed the whole conversation, called. "Your ramen is ready. Come and get it!"

"Hai!" Kagome struggled out of her spot gracelessly and scurried over to her food and sat next to Sango to have a girl-to-girl chat, probably about Miroku and, not if Kagome could help it, a certain taiyoukai.

She froze as she replayed her last conversation with the big, broody dog and turned bright red, maybe like a stop light. Oh my GOD! I can't believe he said that! Or can I? Damn it!

A/N: Did anyone else notice how I have yet to mention Jaken? XD The little green dude has finally made his debut! And yes, I know there is no probable way that Inu and Jaken are the same age, but yet again, creative license besides Takahashi-sama never says they aren't the same age. Also, I don't think my poor heart could get rid of anyone else's hair, due to the fact... I have a thing for hair.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who has reviewed. I feel loved.
