The smell of coffee finally got Kagome out of bed. She had already hit the snooze button on her alarm 4 times.  "I just want five more minutes," she thought.

Oh yes, it was a Monday.

She wandered down to the kitchen, following her nose to the tantalizing scent of roasted coffee.  Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she reached up to grab her favorite coffee mug - the biggest one.  She was going to need it this morning. It was a Monday.

Taking her cup over to the kitchen table, she sat down to concentrate on her coffee, letting the aroma begin to clear the sleepy fog from her mind.  Her husband and his hanyou brother were already awake, sitting at the table ignoring each other.  Inuyasha was eating his cereal and reading the back of the box.

Sesshoumaru sat across from him, reading the newspaper.

Kagome was thankful the brothers had been able to set aside their differences, especially now that she and Sesshoumaru were married.  Perhaps it wouldn't be such a horrible day after all - she was waking up to find two gorgeous dog demons at the breakfast table and a fresh pot of coffee. A small smile graced her lips as she eyed two heads of silver hair over the rim of her cup.

Inuyasha sniffed into the cereal box, as if he was searching for something.

Sesshoumaru lowered the newspaper slightly to peer over at his brother.

Inuyasha continued to sniff the cereal box and then jammed his left hand down to the bottom of the box, digging for something. His fingers found what they were looking for and he pulled out a small cellophane-wrapped toy.

His brow furrowed as he held it in front of his face to examine it.  He ran a quick claw though the plastic wrap, revealing a small stuffed dog.

The newspaper inched lower.

Inuyasha gave the toy an experimental squeeze.  It gave off a loud squeak, shattering the silence of the early morning. A tiny smirk appeared on his face.

The newspaper sagged against the kitchen table.  Sesshoumaru’s eyes were fixed on the small toy in his brother’s hand.

Not noticing Sesshoumaru’s interest, Inuyasha kept his eyes on the toy, turning it over in his hands.  He squeezed it again.  It was . . . nice. Comforting, somehow.

“Let me see that,” Seshoumaru said suddenly.

Inuyasha scowled as he pulled the toy away from the hands of his brother.  “No!  It’s mine!” he said, cradling the dog against his chest.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed.  “Give it here.  Now,” he said, holding out his hand.

“Fuck off!  Go get your own toy!” Inuyasha said with a growl.

“I don't think so.  I bought the cereal that toy came out of.  Therefore, it’s mine.  Now, hand it over, halfbreed.”

“And I said no fucking way, bastard!”

A loud snarl erupted as Sesshoumaru flew across the table to tackle Inuyasha backwards in his chair.  Cereal, milk, newpapers and coffee fly across the kitchen floor as the table hits the ground.

Sesshoumaru sat on Inuyasha's chest while his large hands squeezing Inuyasha's neck. His other hand tried to get the toy, but Inuyasha kept moving the toy out of Sesshoumaru’s reach. Each brother was growling and cursing at the other.

"Give it over halfbreed. Now!"

"Fuck off you bastard!"

She sat there in her chair, eyeing the overturned table and snarling dogs.  Looking down at her coffee cup, she took another sip. "Yep.  Gonna need another cup today," she thought.
