Chapter 54
Bedtime Rituals
"Please stay?"
Sesshoumaru cocked a dubious brow at the ridiculous cotton candy pink pajamas his young mistress had smuggled from home and murmured, "Hnn."
Kagome dragged 'his' chair closer to the bed, then climbed under the covers. Sesshoumaru had been finding excuses to linger each evening—for her safety, of course—and they'd fallen into this routine. Nestled amidst pillows, one hand tucked beneath her chin, she began, "Jacques says there's a dojo here."
"Stately House has one as well."
"Really? Do you use it?"
"Yes."
"I'd love to see that! Would you show me?"
"The dojo?"
"Yes… that, too."
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 #93, Cotton Candy. Posted on July 17, 2009, with thanks to Fenikkusuken, mine beta.
