Chapter 47: Persuasion

Kagome stuck her tongue out in determination, eyes narrowing on her target. And with a mighty leap, she pounced.

“Kagome…”

Wrestling with a stubborn limb, she growled, “Oh, no you don’t, mister! You’re going to spend the day with me–outside–and like it!” She huffed as she tugged, yanked, and pulled on Sesshoumaru’s leg, heels digging into the carpet.

The disgruntled male threw his pillow over his head and rolled over, bringing her with him.

“Oof!”

Chancing a peek, Sesshoumaru glanced down at the female with amused, golden orbs. She was poking the bare skin of his thigh and swearing at it under her breath. His eyebrows shot up to his hairline when he heard a few colorful words escape from her mouth and drift into his ears. He’d have to talk to Inuyasha about the language he used around his wife, for she was uttering things no woman should ever say out loud.

Yawning widely, he sat up and ran a hand through his hair, startling her.

“Did you get enough beauty sleep, your Highness?” Kagome asked sweetly, pinching his calf. “Because I’d really appreciate it if you got off of me!”

Sesshoumaru’s grin was full of teeth–sharp and predatory.

Kagome squeaked when he pinned her down to the bed with his body, settling most of his weight on her to keep her still. He reminded her of her family’s fat cat, Buyo, whenever he decided her tummy was the best resting spot in the entire house.

Grunting softly, she pushed at his chest, cursing her nonexistent upper body strength, and scowled at the pleased, upturning of his lips.

“Ugh… What am I going to do with you?”

“Anything you want, dear,” Sesshoumaru purred, rubbing his cheek against hers. He chuckled when she wrinkled her nose and turned her face away from him.

“If I did that, we’d never leave.”

“Even better.”

“Nice try,” she told him. “But I want to go somewhere today, and you have to come along with me.”

“Very well,” he conceded, dipping his head to peck her forehead. In a fluid motion, he got to his feet and swept her up into his arms. “So, where to, Milady?”

“Hmm…” Kagome stroked her chin in thought. She flushed when his lack of clothing became painfully obvious. “To the closet first. Definitely.”
