Shiori was in the dining room when she heard the thump from upstairs. She didn't need to get up and investigate she was pretty sure she already knew what had happened. She smiled as Mya walked in to the room still rubbing sleep form her eyes "Morning baby girl" she said softly.
Mya sent a smile to her mother and walked over and kissed her on the cheek. Diaski came down the steps rubbing the back of his neck; he must have slept on it wrong because it was sore as hell. "Hey what's with all the racket this early in the morning" he complained plopping down in a chair.
Shiori smiled to her adopted nephew "That is most likely your grandmother putting your uncle in his place" she said with a slight giggle.
"Wow what did he do this time because she sounded really mad" he said looking behind him to the stairs that led up to the rooms.
"Oh I imagine it would be something along the lines of interrupting a private moment he shouldn't have" Shiori said in a sing song voice.
Kagome came stomping down the stairs the lack of sleep obvious in the dark circles under her eyes. She was muttering something about stupid dogs and killing her beauty sleep. Coming in to the dining room she shot the occupants a bright smile regardless of her foul mood. Pinching Diaski on the cheek softly she kissed his forehead "Good morning DiaDia" she said happily.
Diaski let out a slight growl "The name is Diaski grandma" he once more stressed the new title.
Kagome's smile took just a little of a dark turn as she leaned over her grandkits chair "Now Diaski does grandma need to teach you to respect your elders?" she asked with a wicked smirk.
Diaski gulped slightly and shook his head; maybe it wasn't such a good idea to tease her this early in the morning.
Inuyasha came in to the room at that time rubbing his forehead "Careful the wench isn't a morning person" he said as he was making his way to his chair.
Kagome walked over and kissed Mya on the cheek "Your father just doesn't understand I just need to SIT down" she said smiling to the young woman.
Inuyasha once more planted his face to the floor and hissed at the contact. "Damnit wench isn't once enough this early in the day" he said attempting to push himself off the floor.
Kagome smiled as she took her seat "Why no it's not Yasha I do believe the dirt has missed you and is wanting to make up for lost time" she said in a teasing tone.
Inuyasha clawed his way up his chair and sat down the red mark now bruise on his forehead hurt like crazy. "Keh, anyways you going to stick around for the day?" he asked to Kagome.
Kagome smiled "I'd like to though I may need a nap later" she said with a slight blush.
Sesshomaru chose that moment to walk in to the room he kissed Kagome on top of the head and sat down "Sorry mate I must have kept you up to late last night" he said in a suggestive tone.
Kagome's face went from pink to red in seconds and she turned a disbelieving look to the male next to her. Looking around the table at the shocked looks she waved her hands franticly in front of her "No…No its nothing like that we were talking that's all" she tried to convince them.
Sesshomaru smirked and threw his hand over the back of her chair "Now no need to be shy mate" he teased. He knew it was a little early to be teasing her but he just couldn't help it. She was simply stunning when frustrated and her lack of sleep only added to that frustration.
Kagome turned a glare on him "Will you stop that, they are getting all kinds of the wrong idea" she hissed at him.
A giggle at the end of the table drew the occupants' attention "Well I for one think it's cute" Mya stated with a slight starry eyed look.
Kagome tilted her head slightly "Really Mya, I'd say you and Sota are way cuter together" she teased.
Mya's face turned three shades of red before she was even out of her chair "Well I need to get ready for school" she said as she rushed from the room.
Kagome along with Diaski and Shiori burst out laughing, young love was such a wonderful thing. Kagome brought her attention back to the male beside her and pointed a finger at him "And you mister stop calling me mate I'm not yours yet" she said as she shook said finger at him.
Sesshomaru thinking to distract her leaned over ever so slightly and took the tip of her finger in to his mouth. Kagome blushed and then smirked, allowing her power to flare slightly she sent a good jolt in to Sesshomaru's mouth before he could pull away.
Sesshomaru sat back in a hurry his mouth still tingling "I can't feel my tongue" he blabbered out.
Inuyasha across the table let out a howl of laughter at Sesshomaru's attempt to talk "Oh my god that was great Kagome" he howled out. His joy was short lived however as he felt a good jab to his ribs from his mate.
"Don't tease him Inu" Shiori bit out.
Kagome sat with a smirk on her lips as Sesshomaru glared at her from the side "Don't glare at me fluffy-kins you brought it on yourself" she said glancing at him than back to the two across form her.
Sesshomaru stood up in a flash and walked out of the room, this meant war and he was not going to go easy on her in the slightest bit.
Kagome watched from her chair as Sesshomaru marched up the stairs a determined look on his face, for all of a second she regretted her actions but it passed as quickly as it came. Turning her attention back to Inuyasha she spoke "If you have the time today I'd like to talk about Miroku and Sango" she said in a quiet voice.
Inuyasha's laughter came to a complete halt and he smiled over to her "Yeah I got plenty of time today Kags" he responded.
Their meal was served shortly thereafter and they ate in silence. When Diaski was done eating he was about to leave the room to ready for school when he was stopped by Kagome's voice "I'd like a chance to better know you DiaDia if you have time after school maybe" she said with puppy eyes.
Diaski tried to resist he really did, but in the long run Kagome once more won out "Ok ok just stop with the look grandma" he said for once not stressing the title. He walked back over and kissed Kagome on the cheek and was rewarded with a bright smile "Have a good day Diaski" Kagome called after him as he walked out of the room.
She turned her attention back to Shiori and Inuyasha to see shocked looks on both of their faces, "What?" she asked looking from one to the other.
Inuyasha just shook his head "That's one of the first times I've seen the runt not be sarcastic to someone other than his parents" he said in disbelief. Shiori nodded beside him "He's right really Diaski being the youngest of the kits is kind of spoiled and tends to get away with a lot of things with his parents, he's not rude or disrespectful to others just sarcastic" she said with a knowing look.
Kagome just shrugged "Well if he's anything like his father I know just how to deal with him" she said with a smile.
"Keh, the runt is just like his father, even pulled the same pranks on me when he was younger" Inuyasha replied.
Kagome giggled slightly at the memories of Shippo's pranks on Inuyasha in the past. Most were harmless but they never failed to get under Inuyasha's skin. Kagome smiled once more at her hosts "Well if you will excuse me I suppose I better go check on Sesshomaru and make sure he's not too mad at me" with that she left her seat with a promise to be back soon.
Kagome was up the stairs and down the hall faster than she would have thought possible. When she came to the door of Sesshomaru's room she was about to open the door when it was flung open and she was yank in the room.
"Hey tha…."whatever else she was going to say was cut off by Sesshomaru's lips on hers. She struggled at first than gave in, he licked her bottom lip and she gasped allowing him just the opportunity he wanted.
Sesshomaru was mad yes but he also had thought of the perfect pay back. When he felt her approaching the room he quickly pulled her in and pressed her to the wall covering her mouth with his own. Step one of his plan complete he moved on to step two and three. When she gasped it gave him the opportunity to explore her mouth and while he did want to do that, there was a greater purpose to it.
Slowly he attempted to get her to kiss back and when she did he drew her tongue in to his own mouth and sucked on it slightly. When she let out a sigh of pleasure part three of his plan went in to motion, with her tongue still hostage in his mouth he nipped her tongue with a fang with just a little bit of his poison on it. Not nearly enough to do any damage just enough to make her tongue numb.
Done with his great plan he pulled away and smirked at her. Kagome coming back from la la land looked at Sesshomaru with hooded eyes than spoke, "What was that for?" she attempted to ask, however that was not at all what came out.
Her eyes shot wide as she realized what just took place, he had tricked her and what a sneaky way to do it to. Narrowing her eyes at him she bit her tongue in an attempt to get feeling back in it "You….You...Gah" she tried to get out.
Sesshomaru by this time was sitting back on his bed with a self-satisfied look on his face "Not so funny when it is you that can't talk is it mate" he said with a deep chuckle.
Kagome huffed at him crossed her arms over her chest and plopped down on the bed next to him. "You know I wanted to apologize" she said the best she could.
Sesshomaru smiled at her "By all means do" he said still chuckling at her.
Kagome again narrowed her eyes "Nope not going to now" she bit out tilting her chin up much like a snob who thought themselves too good for others.
Sesshomaru's chuckle turned in to a full blown laugh at her antics and he was rewarded with a blush and a smile.
Kagome stood up off the bed and stepped between Sesshomaru's legs "Well I take it you're not mad any more so I'm going back down stairs" she got out slightly more clearly now that she was getting feeling back in her tongue. She kissed him on the forehead and walked out of the room a slight bounce to her step.
