She could hear the commotion on the other side of the palace and could not help but to wonder what the children had gotten into now. Setting down her brush and moving with easy grace, Fuiasu ordered the serving maids out of the way. Her kimono was pristine, her hair in order. She had no more need of them for the time being.
Marching out of her rooms and following her ears and nose, she caught the scent of duck and oil and dirty dog; and sighed. There had rarely been a quiet day in the palace since she and Toga had welcomed the girl into their home. Rounding a corner, she stopped short at the sight of the two pups racing towards her.
They were covered in oil and Kagome had the duck and Sesshoumaru was chasing and they were just plain….messy! Debating, she stepped back around the corner and slipped quietly into a room, sliding the door closed gently behind her. She listened for them and smiled as they went racing past.
There was no way she was going to ruin another lovely kimono. Let Toga deal with them, she decided. He was well suited to cleaning up messes anyway.
