Sango walked into Kaede's hut, in search of the girl she had come to see as a sister.

"You've been in here for a long time, what are you working so hard to make Kagome?"

Kagome lifts her head to look at Sango, while still stirring a pot containing a white, frothy substance, "It's a recipe I found in one of my grandpa's old scrolls called almond tea. It said it was a favored drink of Chinese royalty, and since almonds are a symbol of friendship and promise, I thought we could all drink it to honor our alliance, and welcome Sesshomaru-sama and the others to our group."

"That was thoughtful of you Kagome, but are you sure you made it right? It doesn't really look like tea." Sango said while staring at the contents of the pot dubiously.

Kagome laughs away her friends concern. "It's not really tea, it's made from ground almonds and rice." Suddenly nervous she asks, "Um, Sango, do you think he'll like it?

Sango grins, noticing that her friend wasn't concerned about anyone else's opinion, but the youkai Lord's, she couldn't resist teasing her. "I'm sure Sesshomaru-sama will appreciate your gesture Kagome, don't worry. But you know, almonds are also a symbol of love."

Sango exited the hut, still laughing at the now blushing girl inside.

Poor Kagome, no one can exploit a deep dark secret like your best girl friend.XD

On a different note, almond tea is yummy, I highly recommend it!

I hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks for reading!

(Hmm, I ended this with a lot of exclamation points. I blame the caffeine. ;P )
