            Kagome frowned, pursing her lips as a thought came to her.

            “What’s wrong, Kagome?” Sango asked, cocking her head.

            Rin and Kikyo both looked at her, curious.

            Kagome waved her hand dismissively. “It’s nothing much. Lately, I’ve just noticed that I never seem to be left alone in the same room with a boy that’s not Shippo, Inuyasha, Miroku, or Sesshomaru. It’s getting sort of weird, because it’s almost like it’s done on purpose.”

            Sango and Kikyo smirked, while Rin stifled her giggles.

            “I’m sure it’s all in your imagination, Kagome,” Kikyo assured her.

            Kagome shook her head. “I don’t think so. I’m sure I’m being kept away from all other males. I mean, just yesterday, I was alone with Hojo for about half a minute. He was getting ready to ask me out– I’m sure of it– but then Shippo burst in. I was trying to get him to leave. But he just would not!”

            The other girls covered their mouths and looked away from Kagome.

            She continued. “I know that there’s some sort of elaborate game of keep away being played. I just can’t figure out why. I think it must have the most to do with Sesshomaru though, because he shows up more often than the others,” Kagome trailed off.

            Finally, Sango, Rin and Kikyo couldn’t take it. They all started laughing and rolling around on the floor, leaving a wide-eyed Kagome to stare at them.

            “What? What’s up with you guys? Did I say something weird?”

…

Poor, poor oblivious Kagome.

Why hasn’t Sesshomaru made his move yet?

You’ll never know…
