Chapter 37: Eureka!
When Sesshoumaru returned from inspecting the drying racks on Kagome's balcony, she was talking to someone in the kitchen. Curious, he peered through the door, only to catch her chatting with the orchid he'd given her. It was difficult to say which part surprised him most: the one-sided chit-chat, the spotless countertop, or the simple fact that the plant was still alive. Positive reinforcement was definitely called for. "You cleaned."
"Erm... sorta."
"The orchid appears healthy."
She brightened. "I'm taking good care of Speckles!"
"Speckles?"
"Yes... I named him after his markings."
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. Can it be that simple?
