--Recompensation--
Kagome suppressed a deep sigh and took a large swallow of her cappuccino. She just needed the caffeine right now- today, Inuyasha had not only insisted upon accompanying her back to her era, but in tagging along on a trip to the coffeehouse. Two spilled lattes, a bagel, and thirty-seven napkins later, the hanyou had finally settled down and was now sitting quietly across from her, nibbling meekly on a pastry.
As they finally got ready to leave, the waitress approached the table, an awed look on her face. "Miss... Sir... A gentleman has already taken care of your bill." When Kagome opened her mouth to protest, she was handed a small card. Inuyasha fidgeted beside her as she read the precise script:
'I believe that in this society, some recompensation is usually due when someone is babysitting a member of one's family. Signed, Sesshoumaru Taisho.'
