Summary: Continues from my 'Obstacle' oneshot: Secrets Left Hidden. Kagome delights in Sesshoumaru's annoyance, it serves him right anyway.

Were they still teenagers?

Kagome would be the first to admit that the women in her office were gossiping, conniving and, two-faced as they vied for Sesshoumaru. He was never free of his orbiting cloud of fawning women who would probably walk over hot coals just to have him look at them.

Hell, they'd probably self-combust if he ever deigned to talk to them.

But this was purely ridiculous.

It was Valentine's Day... the day Kagome ignored pointedly each and every year.

But even she had to admit that it was indeed February 14th. And they had all gone crazy.

When she said `they' she was including Jakotsu, he had turned as crazy as the women, but he was more vicious about it.

They were actually attempting to give Sesshoumaru chocolates. Regardless of the fact that he was a dog-demon and therefore allergic to chocolates of any kind.

But, as Jakotsu had told her, that didn't matter, what mattered was getting the `Lord's' attention. Kagome's protests fell on deaf ears.

Though farcical, it was hilarious to watch and Kagome pegged it as her new favourite spectator sport. She observed hapless females and Jakotsu quickly situating their chocolates on his desk before he came into his office that morning.

They would deposit the previous chocolates in the bin. Kagome had taken to salvaging them and eating them gleefully.

When Sesshoumaru eventually dragged himself into the office he paused at the sight of the gaudily wrapped parcel on the desk, a sniff identified it as chocolate.

Growling, he hefted the parcel and tossed it into the bin.

At Kagome's stern tone he turned. “Now, now Sesshoumaru, they spent a lot of effort on those!”

“Then why have you eaten them all?”

His stern tone was infinitely more impressive, but Kagome merely giggled.
