Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

AN: CU. Takes place two years after end of the manga, but Inuyasha and Kagome are only friends.

Prompt: flute

Words: 300

Sesshoumaru blinked. Again and once more, when that didn't work he just stared at the little miko before him. If she was even there, which he wasn't sure. After all, he would be more willing to believe that Jaken could play the flute decently than that his half-brother's wench was asking him for anything.

Deciding that he wasn't in mood to deal with his mind's tricks the daiyoukai simply turned on his heel and went away leaving his hallucination behind him.

That didn't go well with Kagome. The girl huffed in annoyance before following the lord.

"Hey!" she yelled after him. "You can't leave without saying anything!" Sesshoumaru didn't even turn his head. That only irritated her more.

"You arrogant dog!" That did the trick and Sesshoumaru stopped. He doubted that his mind could create illusion who would insult him in any manner and that discovery lead to another conclusion. The miko was real. 'Hnn.. the world is nearing it's end.'

Kagome who caught up with the youkai lord and was now standing before him looking up waiting for some... well, something. The man arched his eyebrow.

"What do you want girl?" Kagome huffed crossing her arms.

"I want to work for you."

"I have enough servants, mortal." came the cold reply. The young woman shook her head.

"I"m not asking for this. I'm an educated person Sesshoumaru-sama, I can help you in your work. I can read scrolls and make short reports or--." He raised his hand quickly cutting her words and Kagome simply smiled while the lord looked at her through narrowed eyes.

They were silent for a moment. Finally, he spoke.

"You wish to work for me."

"Yes." she confirmed firmly.

"A youkai."

"Yes."

"While you're a miko."

"Uhm."

"Shouldn't you be a healer or be getting married?"

"Not you too!"
