Prompt: Thorn
After setting up the guest bedroom (which had never been used) Sesshoumaru stepped into the shower. He emerged wearing different pajamas, silver hair in a loose braid.
Kagome hesitated beside Takara on the sofa, who slept soundly.
"You may shower."
"You're alright with looking after her?"
He snorted. "We will be fine."
Kagome gave an uncertain smile, drawing up to his side in passing and kissing his striped cheek in thanks. For a lot of things.
Sesshoumaru's skin thrummed long after she'd left.
He sighed, pinching his brow. "This is going to be a thorn in my side."
