Kagome walked besides Shippo as they headed to Kouga's. She had taken to ignoring the mindless chatter her companion was spurting after he kept bringing up the stupid dream. She was half tempted to bind him with a rosary like InuYasha's.

"First you ditch me, now you ignore me, Kagome-sama has become too good for a lowly demon like me," Shippo melodramatically declared when he finally noticed that she had not been paying attention to a word he had said.

Kagome rolled her eyes and lightly shoved him as they reached the ramen shop. "Don't be so dramatic."

A loud, derisive snort echoed in their ears, followed by a deep voice, "With the brat, that's impossible."

"Sesshomaru-sama."

He leveled her with an intense, searching gaze. "Welcome back," he coldly spoke.
