Prompt: Cookies

"Okay Sesshoumaru, you must not let her see you add the mixture, otherwise this deal will come to a very swift end with no results."

"I understand kitsune, just ensure that you have distracted her adequately enough."

The two demons nodded at one another, before Shippo left the kitchen, turning invisible as he skipped up the stairs to occupy Kagome with some small mayhem whilst Sesshoumaru added their homemade potion to her latest cooking project. 

After making their agreement a week earlier, neither of them had made any moves, trying to think about a suitable target that woud really rile the miko's feathers. The cheeky fox had suggested spiking one of her bath-bombs with itching powder, but Sesshoumaru had quickly vetoed that, not eager to injure his mate. Shippo had then pointed out that she had had no such qualms when destroying his eardrums with the carol singers. Thus they had decided on something that would be unpleasant but not overly harmful or have long lasting effects.

Target: Cinnamon and chocolate chip cookie dough made by Kagome.

Additional Ingredients added by Sesshoumaru: Jalapeno peppers, spicy English mustard, and a nice dash of wasabi to finish off the potent combination.

By the end of this, her eyes would be streaming and he would have his compensation for all the trouble she had put him through. And in order to cover his tracks, the inu prankster had finished her normal batch of ingredients in an impromptu cake that she had loved and then proceeded to tamper with the new ones she bought; knowing that she would blame the manufacturers for labelling the products incorrectly. He had also been building up his immunity to the hot substances over the week, knowing that she would offer him some of her cookies and that it would look very suspicious if he refused. It seemed like Shippo's deviant ways were rubbing off on him.

Said kit materialised at his side, tails waving manically.

"Is it done?"

Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrows, surprised that Shippo was even attempting to doubt him. 

"Of course. When this one says he will do something, he will see it done to its completion. I am having no attacks of conscience, do not fear."

The orange-haired youth smiled evilly, fangs glinting. Slapping the daiyoukai on the back, he chuckled,

"Well, I shall leave you to it then, Lord Revenge!"

Blinking, incredibly surprised, the inu couldn't help but ask,

"You're not staying? I thought you would want to see the fruits of our labour?"

Shippo's grin widened and Sesshoumaru was once again reminded of how tricksome foxes were.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll see it. But if she sees me, I'll definitely be blamed and then our little adventure will be over! Make sure you have fun now."

And with a flash of blue fire, he disappeared.
