Chapter Three
Breakfast and an Idea
Once he was sure Kagome had fallen asleep, Sesshoumaru slid open the door to her room and walked in quietly. He took the strange kimono she had worn and threw it to an awaiting servant, telling it to dispose of the indecent garb.
Sesshoumaru wasn't sure why he had come in. He sat down on the edge of Kagome's bed and watched her intently, observing her physical aspects. All things considered, she was quite pretty, more beautiful than any other he had met before. He shook the thoughts from his mind, mentally kicking himself. He stayed on the edge of her bed until dawn, when he left the room soundlessly and returned with another kimono. He left it on the edge of the bed and left, sensing she was to awake very soon.
Once out of the room, he called Jaken to him, who appeared immediately by his side.
"Jaken, tell the girl to come down to eat after she wakes."
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama!" The ugly mosquito-like cricket-toad-thing bowed deeply and went about his duties.
Sesshoumaru set a course for the dining room and went straight to it. Upon arriving, he was met by an excited Rin.
"Ohayoo gozaimasu, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin wrapped her arms around his waist and he patted her head. Rin smiled and went to her place at the table.
Shortly after, Kagome walked into the room. She stopped next to Sesshoumaru, bowing.
"Ohayoo gozaimasu, Fluffy-sama," she had a smile on her face. Fluffy looked a bit agitated.
"Ohayoo," he replied, glaring at her.
Rin giggled as she witnessed the scene before her. Kagome turned to Rin and winked as she took a seat next to her, across from Sesshoumaru aka Fluffy. He was still glaring at her across the table. Kagome just smiled at him.
"Itadakimasu!" She winked at Rin, who giggled and followed suit.
They both began to eat and Fluffy watched them in amusement. He didn't really need to eat; he just had to feed his hostage and little girl. He rested his chin lightly on his hand.
"Who told you that you could call me Fluffy, girl?"
Kagome looked up from eating. "Why? Can't I, Fluffy-sama?" She smiled smugly.
He gave her his death glare, and she mimicked it, giving her an idea. After breakfast, the two girls retreated to Kagome's room.
"What are we going to do Kagome-chan?" Rin asked excitedly.
Kagome was rummaging through the bag she had luckily slung over her shoulder before her encounter with Sesshoumaru. What's wrong with me? Why am I happy? Inu-Yasha's dead. I loved him…Inu-Yasha, but…as long as you're happy… She finally found what she was looking for—makeup!
"Okay, Rin-san. I need your help. I'm going to dress up like Fluff, er, Sesshoumaru-sama, okay?
"Rin will help!" Rin's eyes lit up, and she smiled widely.
