A little note: As seen on Dokuga. So I finally decided to take up the challenge of making a interconnected drabble collection using the prompts from Weekly Perfection. This collection of drabbles is set in the canon universe, but will have some elements of an alternative universe I supposed you could say.

Silent Watcher
Kagome's fingers were numb. It was dark, and she was the only one awake, not even her sleeping bag was warm enough to prevent the cold from seeping into her flesh. Kagome debated sneaking into the forest to find Sesshomaru, but when she tried to stand up, her legs were also numb from the cold. A shiver ran down her spine, she couldn't sleep.
A strange wind swept through the clearing, and with it came a feeling of being watched. Kagome looked around nervously, shivers still running down her spine. A pair of golden eyes was watching her from the shadows. Their eyes locked, and a moment of stillness passed.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome called out in a whisper, but he only narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Something wrong, Kagome?" came Inuyasha's voice. Kagome quickly turned to him and shook her head. Inuyasha shrugged and closed his eyes again. When Kagome turned back, Sesshomaru was gone. Kagome sighed and closed her eyes.
"Cold?" a voice came from behind her. Kagome jumped and quickly spun around. Perched behind the tree she was resting against, was Sesshomaru.
"Don't do that!" Kagome whispered, but she glanced at Inuyasha. Why hasn't he noticed Sesshomaru yet? He should have sensed him miles away! A small whine snapped Kagome from her reverie. Tucked comfortably on Sesshomaru's mokomoko were two small pups, fast asleep. She smiled, they looked so peaceful...and warm.
"Want to join them?" Sesshomaru asked with a smirk when he noticed her staring. A bright blush crept to Kagome's cheeks. Why was she blushing?
"Uh..." she trailed off. Did he just? No, he couldn't have. Kagome stared at Sesshomaru with wide eyes. "Alright," she began, "who are you, and what have you done with Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru snorted, but wrapped the mokomoko around her anyway. Humans, they never changed.
