Do not own Inuyasha.

Books

Later that afternoon, Souta came home from school and was introduced to Sesshomaru. Souta in turn thought he was even cooler than Inuyasha and proceeded to commandeer the demon lord. Souta begging and pleading for him to show him some of his moves and attacks. Sesshomaru was both bewildered by the boy and amused, but did step over to a more open part of the shrine to accommodate the boys wishes. Kagome left the two alone and began to help her mother with chores around the house. It was evening, the sun setting when she called them for dinner.

The atmosphere was much the same as lunch, laughter and warmth. Kagome was catching up with her brother on what his school work was. She apparently had turned hers in already, but Sesshomaru did not remember her leaving the shrine, he would ask her later tonight. Clean up was the same, Kagome cleaned, while they retired to the living room. Souta had gone to his room to do his homework, and would probably join them in an hour or two. Kagome said that she would like to take Sesshomaru to her room and show him the computer, saying she would leave her door open. Her mother believed it was an excellent idea and gave her permission.

Kagome sat him down at the desk and started the system. She explained what it was and how it was used, then began to search the internet, with him watching. It took 20 minutes for him to feel comfortable enough to try it, but once he did he was obsessed. While exploring, he asked her how she turned in her school work if she did not leave. Kagome then directed him to her online schools website. She explained that because of her time-travel she was unable to go to school with others and keep up. Her mother decided to pull her out and enroll her in online courses to allow her to get her education and still perform her duty to the Kami.

Once Souta was done with his school work he knocked on her door, and watched him play on the computer. Souta told him, tomorrow he would introduce him to video games. An hour later they returned down stairs.

Sesshomaru really did not need sleep, only partaking if he was truly exhausted, but went through the routine for their sake. Mrs. Higurashi even left him a pajama set and change of clothes for the following day. He moved his armor into the room and proceeded to lay in the bed, which he found quite comfortable. He was unsure of what to do to occupy himself when there was a knock on the door. He sniffed and smelled Kagome. She stood on the other side with a book in hand.

"I know you'll get bored so I brought you this." she said handing it to him.

'The Art of War by Sun Tzu', he read.

"It's about battle strategy, something I know you'll adore." she explained.

Sesshomaru simply looked up, stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her deeply. When he released her she was a bit dazed.

"I'll be sure to bring you more books from now on." she said, eyes still holding a lustful sheen.

"I will be sure to reward you greatly for the effort." he stated, his voice husky.

The following morning Sesshomaru was a very pleased demon. The book was surprisingly engrossing, and he anticipated finishing it that night. As he sat next to Kagome at breakfast, he thought of ways to repay her thoughtfulness.
