She wasn't sure how to breach the topic of puberty with the taiyoukai, so she shifted in her spot, poking the dirty rabbit with a twig. There was no saving it now. Her stomach rumbled longingly.
In what couldn't have been more than a half-second after acknowledging her empty belly, cooked meat invaded her senses. She cocked her head backwards with wide, surprised eyes as Sesshoumaru's rabbits hovered inches from her face. Kagome looked at him hopefully, "Really?"
"Hn."
Her stomach twisted pleasantly at the sight of food as she reached for it.
Just as her fingertips grazed a subtly charred thigh, he pulled it back, leaving her blinking in surprise, hand still suspended.
"Explain," he demanded.
Kagome felt a flicker of exasperation before realizing the humor in the situation. Sesshoumaru was bribing her with food- practically dangling it in front of her nose until she gave him what he wanted. It was positively juvenile.
A slow, lopsided grin played across her face.
