“You know how they say every cloud has a silver lining?” Kagura asked, her tone betraying her absolute boredom.

 

“Yeah?” Kagome asked huddling Rin further into her side, under the gazebo they had taken shelter in from the abrupt downpour.

 

“This cloud is breaking the stereotype.” Kagura narrowed her ruby red eyes at the cloud in question and it seemed to shrink slightly in the wake of her angry gaze.

 

Kagome chuckled and Rin giggled as she climbed into Kagome's coat, obscuring herself almost completely from view apart from her protruding, bulky, pink-casted leg.

 

“Thanks for looking after Rin until I got here,” Kagome reiterated her thanks to the young girl.

 

Kagura shrugged and smoothed down the skirt of her school uniform, making a show out of wringing out her blazer in a bid to prompt Rin's unstoppable giggles; on cue she creased up.

 

“No problem, I didn't have anything to do today anyway,” Kagura tilted her head to one side to observe Kagome shrewdly. “Did someone ask for an impromptu reading?”

 

Rin swung Kagome's hands clasped with her own and looked up at her. “Yeah, where were you?”

 

. Ever since Kagura, Rin's plucky teenage neighbour, had inadvertently discovered Kagome's innate ability she'd been fascinated with it and Rin followed suit; she adored Kagura.

 

Kagome had told Kagura, offhandedly, that looking up more often would be good. The next day Kagura had narrowly avoided being squished when a painter had almost toppled off a ladder onto the poor girl. She'd been intrigued and asked Kagome, Kagome hadn't seen the harm in disclosing her innate abilities.

 

“Nah, nothing so glamorous, I was hiding from Sesshoumaru,” Kagome confided abashedly.

 

“Sesshoumaru?” Kagura enquired.

 

“Yeah!” Rin chirped, “he's really nice, he bought me a phone and he works with Kagome-Obasan!”

 

Kagura grinned lasciviously. “Oh, so it's like that is it, Kagome-chan?”

 

Blushing brilliantly, Kagome shook her head vehemently. “No! Of course not, Rin is just reading too much into it.”

 

“Sure,” Kagura's voice belied her amusement at Kagome's mortified dismissal of the topic, “And you're not blushing either.”

 

Rin's helpless giggling prompted Kagome's blush to spread unfortunately down her neck.

 

Kagura grinned as the pelting of rain against the gazebo ceased. “Well, my parents are having a barbeque this weekend, you're invited, why don't you bring Sesshoumaru with you?”

 

Kagome groaned as Rin fixed her with those pleading eyes that she couldn't resist.
