'My name is Kagura Onigumo. I was wondering if you would be interested in a babysitting job.'

'Pardon?'

'I had a recommendation for you from one of the mother's at my daughter's school. You babysat her son, Shippo?'

'Oh! Yes! Of course!'

Kagome glanced down at the bubbly girl holding her hand.

"We're on the island of misfit toys," The raven sang. The little brunette girl glanced up.

"Here we don't want to stay!" The girl giggled. "Rin likes that song."

"We want to travel with Santa Claus in his magic sleigh." Kagome bopped her nose and grinned.

Kagome's job inculded taking the girl from her mother's house to her father's on the train.

Her father wasn't home right now, so Kagome was waiting with the girl inside his apartment and playing Barbies.

"You're much better at Barbies than Daddy." Rin stated, brushing on of the blond's hair.

"Well, that's because I use to play Barbies too." Kagome whispered.

The front door opened, and Rin dropped everything, racing for her father.

Kagome followed at a slower pace.

"Daddy! Daddy! Come meet the best babysitter ever!" Rin called. Kagome rounded the corner of the living room door and froze.

"Hi, Sesshomaru..." She laughed nervously.

"Kagome?"

"You guys know each other!" Rin gasped, flicking her head back and forth between the two adults.

"Kagome works for Grandad." Sesshomaru explained.

"I like Grandad!" Rin turned to Kagome. "Isn't he great? Grandad is much better at Barbies than Daddy too."

"Everybody is better at Barbies than me, Princess." Sesshomaru chuckled.

"Well, that's cause it's true." Rin stuck out her tongue.
