I do not own Inuyasha and Company, no matter how happy it would make me. Rumiko Takahashi does.

Kagome smiled as she watched Sesshoumaru sniffing around the shrine grounds. He was so damn cute all furry like that, even if she didn't dare call him cute to his face. She was just about to give in to the urge to go pet him when she heard her name being called.

 

Her shoulders tensed as she recognized the voice and when she turned around she wished she could just scream. She'd been hoping that the next time he came by she would be able to make a show of being with Sesshoumaru so the dork would realized she wasn't interested and back off but of course her mate just had to be playing puppy dog! She shot him a tentative glance before turning around. `Might as well get it over with.'

 

“Kagome! It's good to see you up and about!”

 

“Hi, Hojo,” she replied blandly.

 

“You're feeling better?”

 

“Yep, good as new,” she said with fake enthusiasm.

 

“So then do you think you'd be up to a dinner and a movie tonight?”

 

Kagome had to fight back a groan. Would Hojo never get it? How daft could he be? He was intelligent enough, got good grades, managed not to walk into on-coming traffic, though whether that was a blessing or a curse Kagome wasn't sure, but he just couldn't get it through his thick skull that she just wasn't interested!

 

“Oh, Hojo, I can't. I promised Souta I'd help him with something tonight.” She glanced around the shrine, surprised that Sesshoumaru hadn't shown up to try and bite Hojo yet. He had a bit of a possessive streak. `Maybe he went inside to shift back and come and save me!' she thought hopefully. Hell, she would welcome him trying to attack her idiot of a classmate if it would get her out of this perpetually uncomfortable conversation.

 

Hojo was just opening his mouth to ask about tomorrow night when a strange sensation caught his attention. Looking down at his leg he jumped back with a shocked expression.

 

“Oh, Hojo! I'm sorry! No! Bad dog!” she called out, fighting back laughter.

 

“it's… alright, Kagome. It was an accident. I've gotta… I gotta go,” he stuttered before racing down the shrine steps and out of sight.

 

Kagome shot a half-hearted glare at her mate before breaking down in laughter. “Accident my ass. Honestly, Sesshoumaru, did you have to pee on him?”
