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, "flail" was written for

Summary: Out of boredom, Kagome rudely begins to meddle in Sesshoumaru's personal life.
Kagome was quite positive that Sesshoumaru was avoiding her.
He hadn’t come back to the village in weeks, and while Kagome was content to continue her duties with Kaede, it did not deter her from wanting to become his friend.
She racked her brain trying to figure out a way to lure him in again and appeal to his finer tastes, and though she hated for Sesshoumaru to notice her at Inuyasha’s expense, she wouldn’t rule out that option. Still, the perfect catalyst to attract the cold brother’s attention still eluded her.
Thoughts of a winning plan consumed her, so much that it had caused somewhat of a failing in awkward, amorous times with Inuyasha, and though a headache was a good excuse, she couldn’t use it all the time.
She thought, perhaps, Sesshoumaru might be enticed by a shiny object of some sort if he could not be attracted through food. Kagome chuckled to herself; of course, Sesshoumaru wasn’t like the border collie she once had. She’d have to use some kind of finesse.
When the idea finally struck her, she flailed wildly out of Inuyasha’s intimate embrace.
“I’ve got it!” she exclaimed, leaving Inuyasha, unfortunately, bewildered and annoyed.
