Clair de Lune, Debussy

It had been a few weeks since their waltzing lesson, and the girl, whose name Kagome learned was Rin, had made herself a regular visitor whenever Kagome was alone, or with Shippo. Today was one like any other, and Kagome was busying herself with the children, trying to answer their myriad questions about the 'strange boxes' the music came out of.

But Kagome was prepared. She shuffled through her back, emerging with a medium-sized text. She shuffled through, until she found the page she was looking for.

"This book describes all of the instruments used in the music where I'm from," she said. Pointing towards what appeared to the children as a giant black box on legs, Kagome continued. "This is a piano. It's what's making the sounds you're hearing right now. You press down on these, which are called keys, to make it work."

"Can you bring one here?" Rin asked good-naturedly.

"I'm afraid I can't. It's far too big for me to move. I'd be crushed!" The children looked appropriately concerned at that answer, and dropped the subject, not wanting anybody to be crushed, and not realizing pianos could be so dangerous.

Looking down the way, Kagome saw that it was time for Rin to go. It was the little imp creature that came for her today. Before Rin could scurry off too fast, however, Kagome stopped her.

"If you'd like, you may borrow this book, Rin." Kagome had barely gotten the sentence out before the young girl had attached to her hip, hugging her, then taking the book and skipping back to her companion.

'Hopefully Sesshomaru won't mind.' Kagome thought as she and Shippo headed back to the others.
