Chapter 29
Dependence and Dependability
Kagome slept so soundly that Sesshoumaru had to wake her when it was time to deplane. He dismissed her apologies for sleeping on him with a matter-of-fact, "You required rest."
Inside the airport, she quickly realized she was out of her depth. "I don't understand the signs."
"I can read them."
"Is anyone meeting us?"
"No."
"How will we…?"
"A car has been reserved."
"You can drive?"
"Indeed."
As they watched for navy suitcases in the baggage claim, Kagome crept closer and closer to her butler's side. When he arched an inquiring brow, she whispered, "I'm so glad you're here."
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 #88, Navy. Posted on June 12, 2009, with thanks to Fenikkusuken, mine beta.
