Summary: Kagome is surprised to see Sesshoumaru.

 

Laundry was relaxing, methodical, and helped Kagome piece together flustered thoughts on the subject of Sesshoumaru. She was pinning bedding and towels outside in her tiny little balcony, creating a curtain of white, primping and straightening and pegging with meticulous intent.

 

The scent of her washing powder had always soothed her and she began to hum gently in time with the thrumming purrs of Sango's cat who lazed in the sun.

 

Sesshoumaru was being nicer to her than ever before, condescending remarks were slowly becoming gentle teasing. It was both welcome and unsettling. Hopefully the unease in her belly would settle into familiarity, possibly only time would tell.

 

Peg in mouth, Kagome stood on tiptoes as she attempted to peg up the last corner of her bath towel, yelping in dismay as a gust of wind stole her peg and sent her towel tumbling after.

 

“Dang,” she uttered, tossing an exasperated look at the cat, “that was my favourite towel.”

 

“Woman, desist throwing towels,” Sesshoumaru's opined, causing Kagome to scoot back from the edge of the balcony in fright.

 

Perched loftily atop his youki cloud, he offered her the towel.

 

“Thanks... why are you here?”

 

“Just flying by.”

 

“Right, obviously.”
