By the third day of the heat wave, and a not so manageable air conditioner, did Kagome start muttering about going to get him checked out. As well as the heat.

"Oh god, this heat."

Kagome let out a startled squeak and jumped in her seat when the radio suddenly started, playing 'Hot in Herre' by Nelly.

Bee watched Kagome as she continued to stare at his dashboard with a raised brow. She nibbled on her lower lip as she tried to turn the radio off or turn the music down. Neither of which were working.

She gave up and slouched into the seat.

That was something he wasn't used to, her giving up. Didn't want her to. He wanted her to continue to interact with him, however she could, while it was just the two of them. So it was time to go on the 'fritz' as they say.

Windshield wipers squeaked against the front window, the horn blared, lights went on and off. Kagome was panicking to try and fix things, and Bee could sense a rise in stress, body temperature, and emotions as her fingers pushed and twisted what they could.

She was unaware of the energy she was giving off.


AN: I said this in Daddy Dearest, but I almost didn't get to update today, the week before the holidays are always so hectic... and the days so long. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
