Kagome stared at him in surprise before focusing on him as she spoke. "It was Rin's idea. She always loved it when I made her and Shippou chocolates and I told her before that I have a degree in business management."

He could feel the tension leaking out of her but ignored the nod from the doctor. "You gave her chocolate to bring home once," he said, or rather, questioned.

She grinned, remembering. "That's right," she mumbled, pleased with the memory and doing her level best to ignore the doctor and her task. "She requested dog shaped chocolate, because she said she had a dog at home."

Sesshoumaru blinked, before shaking his head even as the doctor sat up and peeled off her gloves. "Everything's all set down there," she said cheerily as she stood.
