It was Kagome who started the trouble this time. Another ball was coming, this one smaller and with only members of the Inu clan invited. It would be even more formal than the last extravagant ball and required even better food and music and entertainment.
Her nose pressed to the cold, white stone tiles, Kagome followed the scents of cooking food to one of the lowest levels of the castle. The smells made her mouth water and her stomach growl, yearning for food even though she'd already ate only hours ago. All that mattered was the scent and the way it drove her crazy with want. Tail wagging, she nosed through the kitchen curtains.
Barely anyone noticed as she ducked under tables and scurried through legs, following her nose to a table near the very back. There were at least 10 ducks sitting up there, piping hot and they smelled so…good! She sat there, staring up at the table, and was just about to reach up and snatch one, when sharp teeth snagged her ear. Sighing, she glanced over at Sho'mru and whined, tugging her ear free.
Then, before he could stop her again she jumped up and sank her teeth into hot, tasty duck. All hell broke loose! Cooks screamed, assistants stared and Sesshoumaru growled. She woofed around the duck and ran, ducking under tables. She hit the edge of one and warm oil spilled over silk black fur, then white fur as Sesshoumaru darted after her.
