Fandom: Inuyasha
Title: Absurd Distractions
Author: Paynesgrey
Chapter Title: 12: Stipulation
Characters: Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshoumaru
Genre: Humor/Friendship
Word Count: 400
Rated: PG
Universe: CU, post-series
Notes: This is a friendship fic. There will be implications toward the Inuyasha/Kagome ship; however, this serialization will focus on the growing friendship between Kagome and Sesshoumaru, whether Sesshoumaru likes it or not. It's supposed to be a little cracky and fun, and it'll revolve around prompts in various LJ communities. This prompt, "treat" was written for dokuga_contest.
Summary: Out of boredom, Kagome rudely begins to meddle in Sesshoumaru's personal life.
Kagome felt a little nervous in imagining what Sesshoumaru’s repayment would be. The fact that she’d wish for anything at all other than his friendship did not cross her mind, and knowing that Sesshoumaru was just the sort of youkai who hated owing anyone anything was a quick dose of reality.
He obviously meant to tie up this debt right away, and Kagome watched numbly as he tied the sash around his sword’s sheath and met her eyes. He seemed to have a plan for her even before he arrived to the village, and she supposed it was a boost to her confidence that he had expected her gift to work once she fixed it to not harm Jaken.
“Miko,” he said, snapping her out of her daze. She furrowed her brow.
“It’s Kagome,” she said, a little too breathlessly as she met his stare.
“I will repay your debt, but in order to do so, you must accompany this Sesshoumaru to the Northern Lands,” he said.
Kagome felt even more confused. What sort of treat was she in for? “What? Why?” she asked, and she hadn’t intended on leaving the village, and she suspected that Inuyasha would be angry with her for even considering it; however, she supposed she couldn’t refuse.
This was Sesshoumaru after all.
“I need your assistance yet again, but when we are done, I give you my word that your time and your gift will be repaid in full,” Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome shook her head. “I still don’t understand.”
Sesshoumaru looked perturbed that he had to explain anything further, but Kagome stood her ground. She wasn’t going anywhere with him unless he told her more about it.
“A former ally has taken something of mine, an inheritance of my mother’s. In her own amusement, she gave it to him, knowing I would not approve. You are aware of the Meidou Seki? It was a later price I would pay for having her revive Rin.”
“What did your mother gave away?”
“Ah-Un’s mate, another two headed dragon. The beast is rightfully mine, and when we get it back, you may have its egg as your payment.”
Kagome’s eyes widened. “Let me get this straight; you’re giving me a live dragon egg in return for the sash?”
Kagome swore she saw a tiny smirk lift his lips. “Of course, but we must rescue the mother first.”
