Summary Ouji gets into the sacramental wine
Ouji was sick as a dog.ever since he returned from Inuhime no kami’s shrine Kagome noticed that he was dizzy. Not able to walk in a straight line. His eyes were blood shot and could not focus on Kagome when she tried to examine him.
Kagome knew that she should know better. Leaving him with Princess Puppy was the last thing she wanted to do, but today she had no choice. She had miko work to do and Inuyasha was out on a youkai extermination with Miroku.
The little boy shook in her arms. He was hot and cold at the same time. His words slurred together to make him almost incoherent. If she did not know better, she would say that he was drunk. He vomited twice before finally drifting off to sleep
Her first thought was that Inuhime no Kaimi had given him alcohol. She shook her head. Not even the ditzy goddess was stupid enough to do that Still all the signs pointed to one conclusion
Ouji was drunk. She would let him sleep it off Maybe he would be better in the morning.
She placed a cold compress on his head and tried to remember. Her family was not big on drinking. She had only seen Inuyasha drunk once. When the Potions Master dunked him in the vat of sake. Fortunately, he had recovered quickly.
After seeing him like that, she had not offered him any alcoholic beverages since then. She could not control him on the road with Miroku, but she could certainly do so at home. He was not the problem right now. It was Ouji.
She started to nod off, but her mother’s radar warned that a wicked witch was about to visit them
Sure enough, Princess Puppy arrived with flash and glam. If she woke Ouji, Kagome would have her head kami or know
The kami ignored her. She went and set beside Ouji Pulling out a small vial she plucked one of Ouji’s hairs and dropped it in the vial. After shaking the vial, she placed a drop on Ouji’s lips. His tongue came out and licked the drop. Inuhime no kami nodded. It was only then that she saw Kagome at her back bow and arrow in hand ready to kill
“What the hell did you just give him.?”
Princess Puppy looked surprised what was wrong with this woman She was just trying to be help “Hair of the dog of course. What else do you give someone who has had too much plum wine to drink?”
Kagome exploded “ You gave my son plum wine?”
“Some worshipper must have left a bottle at the shine as an offering I did not notice that bottle had been opened until I was about to leave. What is the big deal? I was drinking sake when I was no older than him. You just have to get used to the taste. He will be drinking all his life. It is just a natural part of life.”
Kagome grabbed Princess Puppy.and booted her out the door. Standing over the fallen kami she cold barely restrain herself. “Ouji is my son. Until he is of age, he follows my rules in my household. You were supposed to watch him for me. Not let him get into the plum wine. Get back to shrine. It will be a cold day in hell before I let you babysit again.”.
