Kagome's lips twitched, before pressing into a firm, thin line. 

A disgruntled huff sounded out from behind her once again, more frustrated this time. 

Sesshoumaru had a habit of distracting her during- well, almost anything. College assignments, laundry, sewing, friggin crossword puzzles. Right now she was knelt by a patch of herbs, trying to recall if they were the ones used to ease headaches as Kaede had said. She checked her book for confirmation, having been sent out to identify various types. It proved difficult to concentrate with a demon lord lounging behind her. 

When a clawed hand reached out and began stroking her hip suggestively, Kagome mentally steeled herself to resist the incoming kiss. Dark hair was swept aside, before the sensation of lips brushed her nape in a sensual tease. Kagome shivered. 

"Mn… are you done yet?" a low voice crooned in her ear. 

"Nope, just like I wasn't the last time you asked. Five minutes ago," she swatted his hand off her hip. 

Sesshoumaru sighed dramatically and lulled backwards. She heard his impact with the ground, rolling her eyes. 

"Your intended is idle and wishes to please you. Why ignore that in favour of doing chores for an old woman?" 

"Aw, you want to please me, Sesshoumaru?” she shifted to bat her lashes at him, voice flattening. “Then let me study these plants in peace." 

Sesshoumaru let out a low, hungry rumble. "Not that type of pleasing." 

Kagome blushed and grinned to herself, reaching behind her to pat his knee. "I'm well aware. Go do something if you're bored. I'll call you once I'm done." 

'Calling' of course meant flaring her aura until he reciprocated and found her. A habit they'd grown over the course of their friendship and later relationship.

A hand stroked down the length of her back. "Hn, no. I will make use of the time and enjoy your scent, since I cannot enjoy your taste." 

"T-taste?" 

"And body." 

"Pervert," she laughed, glancing at him over her shoulder with dancing blue eyes. She then went back to perusing her book for different images of herbs. 

Sesshoumaru went suspiciously quiet for a while. Kagome decided to ignore it, becoming immersed in ticking off a few common weeds in her notes before selecting a herb and writing down its use, how to extract the needed remedy, followed by its application to patients. 

After making significant progress in her work, she grinned- before hearing a low rumble that rivalled the sound of thunder. A dark shadow fell over her notebook. 

"What the-" 

The ground shook, something heavy landing behind her with a 'thud!' 

Whipping her head to the left, Kagome gaped, bursting into laughter. 

An impossibly large inuyoukai lulled onto sunlit grass, twisting his body to roll onto his back playfully, hindlegs kicking up in the air. 

“You want my attention that badly?” she giggled, watching his head tilt back to gaze at her from upside down. He gave a soft grumble- red tongue lolling out from large deadly fangs the size of her arm. Sesshoumaru’s eyes glittered, tail flicking to thump obnoxiously loud on the ground. 

“Oh come on,” with an exasperated sigh, she set her things aside. Standing, Kagome adjusted her miko robes before approaching. Reaching out, she touched his chin, peering down at where the ground cushioned the back of his head and noticing blazing crimson eyes smile at her. “You’re impossible when you get like this. Like a spoiled prince,” she teased, relenting. “I guess I could take a five-minute break…”

The inuyoukai made a ‘boof!’ noise, jagged mouth curving into an upside-down grin. Giggling, Kagome pet the short while strands of his jaw, stepping around his giant head and tracing a path down to his furry neck. She then grasped the strands at his flank, climbing up onto his soft stomach before hiking up his ribcage to throw herself down into a cloudlike chest. The impossibly fluffy fur pillowed her face and belly, immersing her in a sea of softness.

“Mn…”

Sprawling out atop his chest and nuzzling into it, it felt as though she were resting atop a warm mass of white silky feathers. “Maybe I can take a longer break,” the words slipped free, sealing her fate. Giant paws lightly settled onto her back. 

Sesshoumaru crooned softly, tilting his head to look at her with an arrogant, victorious expression written across his canine features. He gave what she assumed to be a rumbling chuckle, sending large vibrations through his chest, making her shake atop it. 

Kagome swatted his shoulder lightly, too comfortable to put any effort into protesting much, “jerk. You’re a terrible influence,” she mumbled happily, snuggling closer and threading snowy white strands through her fingers, falling into a light nap.

He made a humming noise as if in agreement, holding her as best he could, paw pads and claws cradling her form as he tilted his head back, closing long lashes. His chest rose and fell in a dusty sounding, contented sigh, dozing with his miko held close.
