Her cheeks are red. "I didn't realize you were in the shower."

Sesshoumaru pretends not to be caught off-guard and leans back into the stream of water to rinse. "You did not give me time to tell you."

"No, I guess I didn't."

Hand covering her mouth, she can't look away, and her eyes fixate on the color running beneath his collarbone.

He suppresses the urge to smirk. "Kagome."

Her head snaps up, eyes large. "Huh?"

"The dress?"

"Oh." But she doesn't move. "Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes?"

Swallowing, she points. "You have more stripes?"

He loses the battle against the smirk. "Many."
