The Study-After Dinner

_________________________________________________________________ _______

 

Sesshoumaru felt a muscle in his face twitch as he survey his study. They had done their jobs well. From floor to ceiling his study was pink. Pink flowers (donated by Rin and Shippou) were draped over the book shelves and hung in graceful arches across the door, desk and shelves. All the writing materials on the desk were pink: pink pins, pink pencils, pink paper, pink ink pots, a pink stapler (provided by Kagome), a pink planner, a pink paper basket (also by Kagome) and the chair had a pink cover on it. The fireplace was surrounded by pink pillows of various hues (Kari's contribution) and the window seat had a pink pad and two pink beaded pillows. Pink ribbons in arch from the ceiling, some hang straight down like streamers(Koga and Sango's doing). Pink bows were scattered throughout the room: on book cases, shelves, over windows, on the door, on the desk, hanging from streamers attached to the ceiling, above the fireplace...everywhere (thanks to Inuyasha)! The floor was cover with a thick fur rug of pastel pink (made by Kagura), and between each book case was a pink runner. The white candles had all been removes and the room was awash with pink scented candles (Miroku's idea) and pink Chinese lanterns hanging from various places on the roof, on arching ribbons, hanging under bows and window panes.

 

“So...do ya like?” Kagome asked, eyes dancing merrily.

 

Sesshoumaru couldn't ever drudge up an answer he was so shocked.

 

“See, he likes it so much he's speechless!” Inuyasha declared with a smirk.

 

“I think it looks better this way.” Kagura offered with a smile.

 

“Indeed?” Sesshoumaru asked skeptically.

 

The conspirators burst into uncontrolled laughter. Sesshoumaru's eye twitched. When they were able to calm themselves down Kagome gave him a peck on the cheek and explained that this was his punishment for running out on their pillow fight.

 

“And we thought we might as well have a slumber party since we'll never have such an unique opportunity again.” Koga added.

 

Sesshoumaru eyed them all for a long moment before nodding his consent.

 

“Awesome!” Kari cried jubilantly. “Tell `em to bring in the cocoa, Miroku.”

 

Miroku poked his head out the door and motioned for the servants to bring in their midnight snacks.

 

“Who cooked?” Sango asked, nearly drooling over the yummy treats being brought in.

 

“We did.” Kari answered, grabbing a pillow and heading for the balcony, where all the food was being arranged.

 

“You and who?” Sesshoumaru asked, wanting clarification.

 

“Inuyasha.” Kari said scratching behind said hanyou's ear and feeding him a chocolate covered pastry.

 

“Inuyasha cooks?” Kagome gaped, nearly dropping her cup of hot cocoa. “Are you serious?”

 

“Yep.” Kari replied, sipping her cocoa. “He's not as good me, but he's okay.”

 

Inuyasha snorted in amusement and simply pulled her into his lap.

 

“Wow.” Sango said eyes wide. “The things you never knew...”

 

“And we thought we knew everything about Inuyasha...” Miroku murmured, also impressed.

 

“Please,” Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “Sesshoumaru cooks too, it ain't like it's a big deal.”

 

Everyone except Kari, Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru gasped. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru in sheer amazement. The others looked at him with shock and awe.

“Our friends are so easily entertained.” Kari laughed.

 

Inuyasha chuckled. The others blinked and looked sheepish. Sesshoumaru shook his head. 'Father is loving this, I just know it."
