Prompt: smooth sailing


Once they'd moved outside into the darkening street, it was smooth sailing as Takara luckily stopped crying. Kagome adjusted the baby against her.

"I'd invite you over but...the house is a bit of a mess."

"Ditto," Sesshoumaru grunted.

Her heart pounded so swiftly. Was she nervous? Fearful to be alone with him?

Frowning slightly, he tried and failed to read her. With a sigh, he jotted down his number on a receipt, handing it over. "Call me, if you need...assistance."

Blue eyes widened, and Kagome accepted it carefully.

Turning away, Sesshoumaru began tiredly heading back towards his apartment.

"I need assistance."
