            Kagome stood in her kitchen, wearing a floppy pair of socks, and an oversized sweater that went to her knees and slid off of her shoulders. She stood, staring at her microwave, waiting for it to beep, wondering if the hot cocoa was worth it, or if she should have just eaten the marshmallows by themselves.

            Kagome looked at the bag of mini-marshmallows on the counter and bit her lip. She reached out her hand, inching it closer to the bag.

            Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Kagome continued to reach for the marshmallows.

            A sharp knock followed the bell, causing Kagome to hurriedly swipe the bag of marshmallows from the counter and stomp to the door.

            She pulled it open harshly, and popped a few marshmallows into her mouth angrily.

            “You ruined the internal conflict effect,” she said, glaring at the youkai on her doorstep.

            Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow.

            Kagome scoffed, before pursing her lips. She held up her bag. “Want one?”

            His eyebrow lowered. “No,” he said dryly.

            “Well, if you aren’t here for my marshmallows, I can’t imagine why you’d come visit me. What are you here for, Sesshomaru?”

            “My half-brother wished for me to relay a message.”

            This time, Kagome raised her eyebrow. “And you agreed to?”

            “Seeing you is not the torture he makes it out to be; it is more of a mild pain,” he said, adding the last part to as assurance for her sake.

            “Thanks,” Kagome said, her eye twitching.

            “May I come in?”

…

Bah!

He should have just taken the marshmallows and been done with it!
