Little Johnny's preschool class went on a field trip to the fire station. The firefighter giving the presentation held up a smoke detector and asked the class: "Does anyone know what this is?"
Little Johnny's hand shot up and the firefighter called on him.
Little Johnny replied: "That's how Mommy knows supper is ready!"
"Sesshoumaru, the timer will go off when the meatloaf should be taken out of the oven. I am going out with Sango. I'll be back by ten. Ok?"
Sesshoumaru grunted in response, he was reading over a buissness contract.
Shutting the door to his study, she slipped on her heels as she stepped out the front door and waltzed over to her Honda civic. Speeding off into the night, she absentmindedly wondered if Sesshoumaru would remember to take the meatloaf out of the oven. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind, she kept driving.
Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru was still up in his study, engrossed in his merger. After replying to his emails, he checked his watch, it was nine forty five. Stretching like a cat, he walked into the family room and sat down. All of a sudden, a horrible, high pitched beeping started to resonate in his ears. Jumping up from his easy chair, he ran into the kitchen.
There was the oven, dark smoke sliding out of the cracks like snakes out of a burrow. Panic flashed through his mind as sharp as a knife, but he pushed it down.
'Shit' he thought as he raced around the kitchen with the still smoking pan. 'Kagome is going to kill me'
Cooling the ruined food down with water from the sink, he pulled out a trash bag, and started scraping the lumpy mess into the bag. The fire alarm was still going off and it was driving him insane.
After cleaning the tray, he put it to dry on the rack and turned off the infernal device, just in to hear the front door close and his mate walk in the door.
She walked into the kitchen and stared. "What happened to my meatloaf?"
Thoughts started to swirl in his mind, "Inuyasha and Miroku came over, they… ate more than this Sesshoumaru expected. Sesshoumaru kept his voice as cold as possible.
Kagome tried to stifle her giggles. "I see, and how did Inuyasha and miroku get from Inuyasha's house to here before me?
Sesshoumaru cursed in his mind. He had forgotten that his mate was going to his half brothers house. Damn.
"You forgot to take the meatloaf out didn't you?" Kagome chastised. Sesshoumaru just stated at her. "Now don't give me that look you know its true!"
Sesshoumaru simply turned and walked up to bed. His mate would never let him live this down.
