Finally, another chapter unveiled! Hope you like it!

"Ah ha!" Kagome cried, pulling out a makeup bag from her backpack beside the well.
"Where did THAT come from?" Sota asked.
"What?"
"The backpack."
"Oh, that? I sorta forgot it when I left last time...but I've got the perfect thing!" She turned to Sesshoumaru smirking evilly. "Do you mind sitting down for a while?" On the steps?"
He raised his eyebrow inquiringly. "What do you plan to do, exactly."
She giggled. "Well, you see...my grandfather's a little eccentric, and we wouldn't want you to startle him...so I'm going to cover up your moon and stripes (a/n: sounds sorta like lucky charms, doesn't it?) with makeup!"
Figuring that Kagome was the one who knew best, he nodded his head slightly and sat down on the stairs while she went to pick out the best color for him. She lifted her hand in triumph as she pulled out a pale foundation container. "Not what I was looking for, but it will work fine," she bit her bottom lip as she looked at him, trying to find the best place to start. Finding it, she moved her hand towards the moon on his forehead, but found her wrist in his grasp. "Yes?"
"I'm only wearing this...makeup... for a little while. Then, it comes off."
"Of course..." she lied, liberally applying the stuff all over his face. She stood back a few minutes later, a look of accomplishment on her face as she looked at her handy-work. Not a speck of his demon markings showed.
"Are you finished?"
"Yes. Let's go."
He stood and followed the brother and sister up the stairs and out of the well house. "Mom!" Kagome yelled, running a woman and throwing her arms around her. "It's nice to see you back Kagome. Where have you been? You're a week late!"
"I got a little...held up..." she said carefully.
"Oh, dear...did you and Inu-Yasha get into a fight again?" She saw Kagome nod. "Who have you brought back with you this time?" she asked, changing the subject.
"His name is Sesshoumaru."
"I see..." Mrs. Higurashi scrutinized him... "Why in the WORLD is he wearing makeup, Kagome?"
"Oh, that? Hehehe...you see...he's a demon...and he had some markings that jee- chan probably had a legend about. Sota and I decided it might be better to cover them up so he wouldn't notice."
"No, Kagome...I was talking about the red eyeliner."
"Oh, that? He wouldn't let me go near his eyes. I had to leave it on," he looked back at Sesshoumaru, who seemed to be getting anxious. "What's the matter, Sesshoumaru?"
"There's something...coming..."
"SHHHHAAARRDSSSSSSSS! GIIIIVE MEEEE THHHHHEEEE SHHHHAARRDS!" a demon crashed into the center of the courtyard. "SSSHHHHAARRRDSSSS!"
Sesshoumaru pulled out the toukijin and with one swing of his sword wiped it out. Cautiously, Kagome stepped forward to the creature and picked a glittering shard out of its leg. "I wonder why I didn't sense it coming..." she said quietly. Turning she bowed to Sesshoumaru. "Arigatou."
"Feh."
"Kagome! Why did you bring a demon back with you?!?"
"Huh? Oh...hi jee-chan!"
"Kagome! Answer me!"
"Heh heh...Well, you see..." she scratched the back of her head.
"Oh! Dinner time!" Mrs. Higurashi announced, walking back towards the house. Grandpa narrowed his eyes at Sesshoumaru and then, he too, headed for the house, followed by Sota.
"What a strange family you have, Kagome," he said bluntly.
~*~*~*~
Kagome woke up the next morning, yawning and stretching. She screamed when she saw Sesshoumaru standing in her doorway. His looked at her questioningly, but didn't say a word. Indignantly, she grabbed some clothes out of her closet. "I'm going to go and take a bath. DON'T follow me," she warned, slamming the door behind her.
"Hey! Sesshoumaru!" Sota called. "Mom says you're going to school with Kagome today! She says that you have to wear these," he held up a set of clothes. " She also said to go and change in Kagome's room while she's busy and then to come downstairs and eat breakfast."
Growling lightly, and knowing he had no choice, he took the small pile from the child and then closed the door behind him. He gazed at the strange apparel, a disgusted look appearing on his face. 'Is this what the people in this time wear? How strange.' Shrugging, he began to change, first trying on the pants, which fit perfectly. He then took off his top and picked up the shirt he had been provided.
The door squeaked open and Kagome gasped, covering her eyes and turning around to face the opposite wall. "Gomen, Sesshoumaru! I didn't know you were in here!" She felt a hand on her arm and turned around. Sesshoumaru stood before her. He wore a school uniform and he had tied his hair back with a hair-tie that he had found on Kagome's desk. She giggled. It was pink.
"What?"
"I...don't think you need to tie your hair back, Sesshoumaru, especially with a pink hair-tie."
"Oh, okay," he said, taking it out, his silver hair falling around him.
Kagome walked up and reached to straighten the top bottom of the uniform. She felt a hand move her face upwards and Sesshoumaru kissed her lips. She blushed and then stepped back, looking him over to make sure he looked normal. She smiled. "There's just one thing. We need to cover up the eyeliner."
"If you have to, I suppose."
She quickly applied some more makeup to his face and nodded. "Finished. Now, let's go eat breakfast," she said, turning to walk away. She stopped and turned once again as Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm.
"What is this...school... that we are going to?" he asked.
"You'll see."
He kissed her again. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back. All too suddenly for Sesshoumaru, she pulled away. "We have to go, or we're gonna be late." She let go and walked out of the room. He followed a few seconds behind. Kagome stood at the front door, waiting, backpack sung over her shoulder, and two bento in her hands. Her took the pack from her and put it over his own shoulder. "Let's go," she said.
"You two have a nice day!" Mrs. Higurashi called.

Short chapter, I know. Gomen ne...thanks for all of the reviews! I don't have school tomorrow, so I'll probably write another chapter and post it between now and tomorrow. Yuppers. Hope you liked it. Next Chapter: Why you shouldn't bring Feudal Taiyoukai to School. Funny, ne?
