Last Minute Advice
"Think of Sesshoumaru as a chaperon… or a body guard," Miroku cheerfully suggested. "He'll even be able to translate for you!"
"He knows English?"
"He's quite fluent, and he's familiar with the customs. You'll be in good hands."
"I… guess."
Miroku adopted a more serious tone, adding, "Whatever happens, remember that Sesshoumaru's only obligation is to you. Don't let the others lord over him."
Kagome blinked. "Why would they do that?"
"You forget; I've met Lord Smythe's family," Miroku cautioned. "Several of them are undoubtedly green with envy… and eager to ingratiate themselves with our good butler's lovely new mistress."
End Note: This story in snippets owes some of its structure to the Live Journal community 100colors, which offers a tempting palette of prompts. This particular 'perfect' drabble benefited from Color #6, Green. Posted on June 9, 2009, with thanks to Fenikkusuken, mine beta.
