~ * ~ Chapter Six: Confusion ~ * ~
Kagome was lying under a Sakura tree thinking about the events of the day when a girl appeared out of nowhere.
"Konnichiwa! Who is the pretty lady?" piped the gapped tooth girl.
Kagome just stared at the toothy smile. "Oh, and what is your name?" Kagome asked.
The girl replied, "Gomen, my name is Rin!"
Kagome regarded 'Rin' as if she was an alien.
'What is a human doing with Sesshoumaru? He sure is showing me a different side of him.'
Rin looked confusedly at the girl lying below her.
When Kagome saw her staring anxiously, she quickly responded, "Oh my name is Kagome. It is nice to meet you Rin-chan!"
At the sound of -chan after her name, Rin jumped about the girl happily. "Will you be my okaa-san? Please."
Kagome didn't know how to respond to that.
'Sesshoumaru has been nice to me ever since I woke up this morning, but after previous encounters from the past, two years was it? I don't really know if I can fully trust hi after all those times he tried to kill my friends and I.'
'But.'
"Okay Rin-chan I'll be your temporary okaa-san, just for now."
Rin squealed a cry of joy, and left Kagome to go torture Jaken. After the girl had left, Kagome started thinking about the past events.
*Flashback*
He had set down next to her. "So why, did you bring me here?"
All she got from him was a loud sigh, a slight blush, and, "You haven't eaten for two weeks. Eat."
'Mou! I can't figure this guy out!'
'He--,' her thoughts were interrupted when she sniffed the air.
'That smell, what is it?'
She got up off her chair, almost fell down, but Sesshoumaru was guiding her. She looked at the middle of the table and saw it.
"ODEN! Yummy, yummy oden! Omigosh! I LOVE oden! How did you know?"
Sesshoumaru had to discretely clean his ears before he responded, "I didn't know, it's my favorite." (A/N: Okay. I know they probably didn't have oden back then, but sheesh, gimme a break!)
His heart started to beat rapidly when he found out they had an official thing in common, except of course, the 'secret' they supposedly shared.
Kagome was leaning over the table to get the oden when she brushed against him.
Luckily, she didn't feel the thing that was hard down there. So, she proceeded and nudged him to take them back to their seats.
Sesshoumaru smirked as he watched the young miko trying to gobble all of the oden.
'How un-lady like, but now she's MY un-lady-like lady, Kagome.'
He looked at the woman-child sitting next to him. To his surprise, she was staring at him.
'Wait, I know what this is, it's a staring contest. Well, we'll see whom will win.'
They were staring at each for what seemed like an eternity.
Kagome's face was beet red, and her eyes were teary from not blinking. A big grin fell across her face, and Sesshoumaru blinked. She laughed and said she won. He smiled and replied yes. They ate the rest of the meal in companionable silence.

She still didn't know why she was here, but what she did know was that she needed a long awaited bath.
