Chapter 42: Awoken


Kagome was awoken bright and early by her cellphone. The twins had held true to the promise of calling first thing in the morning to see if she was indeed still alive. Kagome assured them again that she would be fine and that she needed to go into the city today to go shopping for Sesshoumaru. The twins were never ones to pass on a shopping trip and offered to drive them all. Kagome showered quickly and dressed for a day of shopping. Now, she just had to find a way to convince Sesshoumaru.

"Good morning, Lord Sesshoumaru." she greeted him happily when she found him sitting on the floor in the living room. "Did you sleep well?"

"This Sesshoumaru did not require sleep."

"Oh. Okay. Is there anything you do require? Besides clothing of your own."

"No."

"You're an easy house guest." she smiled again.

"I assume you heard the conversation I had this morning?"

"Yes. This Sesshoumaru will accompany you."

"Thank you." Kagome bounced into the open kitchen."Oh, you'll need to change out of those pajamas."

"Into what?"

"Help yourself to anything in the dresser. It will have to do for now."
