Chapter 2: Breakfast

"You do realize you could just make a ton of waffles and freeze them?" said Kagome with her mouth full, "I mean all you'd have to do is keep them in plastic bags or something then toast them whenever." She slathered more peanut butter and syrup on her last bite.

Sesshomaru turned to face her from the screaming waffle iron, "Would -you- like to make a ton of waffles and freeze them?" his ears pressing against his skull from the annoyance of the automated waffle iron. It did have its uses, and he did prefer waffles over pancakes. Though why Kagome had insisted on a qwerty keyboard waffle iron* was beyond him. At least it was better than the hello kitty toaster. How he despised that contraption.

"I'm just saying it helps you write all-nighter-essays better."

He gave her a look. She flashed him a giant grin at the corniness of it all.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"Did you want any more?" as he finished pouring the last of the batter into the iron.

"I'll have what you don't want." She got up with her plate and stood beside him. She placed her fork in her mouth and watched for the keyboard to scream again. She loved teasing him. The ONLY reason she did it was to get a reaction from him. She knew him too well.

"Wait wait I want to do something!" she said as the keyboard screamed its readiness. She pushed herself under his arm to access the iron. Getting out of the way he stood behind her and watched from over her shoulder. Placing a small kiss on her exposed neck he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Why do you always ask me that?" she replied with her fork still in her mouth. Using chopsticks and his fork she separated all the letters of the waffle on his plate. "Daw we lost the zed" as she tore the 'Z' in half.

"Zee. As in Zebra." He corrected her.

"Zed. As in Zedbra." She said with the fork still in her mouth.

He nuzzled her. "Quack." he replied.

She giggled then gasped at the thought, "You could TOTALLY play scrabble with these!"

"Are you even hungry any more or are you just playing with your food?"

She stabbed the space bar with her fork and shoved it in her mouth.

"I take that as still hungry?"

"Mhm." with her mouth full. "Mmm waffles." she said as she watched Sesshomaru rearrange her letters.

With his arms around her, he pushed aside unwanted waffle bits to the side of the plate. She stole the 'Enter' key in the process and munched on that. He kissed her bare shoulder as he finished his message.

She smiled, "I love you too." and turned to kiss him on the cheek. She met his lips instead as he deepened the kiss. Making sure her fork was somewhere on the counter and not the floor, she turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. His hands played at the curves of her hips and the small of her back. She ran her hands through his hair finding his ears and rubbed them. He growled in response and pressed her against the counter, then slowed their kiss down to small nibbles. She relaxed and ran her hands down his neck.

"Mmm waffles." he said as their kiss broke with a grin.

Kagome stared up at him lovingly and nuzzled his cheek with her own. But then her attention turned to his right ear.

"You have fluff…" she trailed off as she tried to pick off the miniature dust bunny from the tip of his ear.

He frowned, and warned, "Kagome…"

"Don't move." she said in a strained voice.

Growling, he waited patiently, or tried to at least. His miko could never fully understand his inu anatomy. His ears twitched as she went on her tip toes to get a better view. In the process however, her hips pressed harder against his and he nearly lost control.

"Got it!" she said triumphantly, and flicked the fluff to the floor.

"You certainly do." Sesshomaru growled and bucked to emphasize his point.

Kagome squeaked, and sheepishly apologized, "Sorry…." She didn't mean to.

"Hn." Today was going to be long. "Even after five years, Kagome, you still have much to learn about the inu race."

"Well its not like anyone's written a book about it." she said plainly.

"My mother has." He responded, "Or rather, Inuyasha's mother has." He broke their embrace and tended to the dishes.

Kagome's expression was priceless. "Really?! I knew she was an doctor in her time but…."

"Inuyasha has a copy. I'll ask him to lend it to you."

"Psh. Like I really need it." Kagome scoffed.

Sesshomaru gave her a look, then grabbed her wrists, placing one hand on his ear, and the other on his crotch.

"Clearly, you have no idea."

Kagome blushed thoroughly.
