It was raining. It was thundering and yet the drumming of her pencil against the wooden kitchen table was louder than all that.

Kagome was thrilled when she brought her own apartment. She was thrilled to move in and make it into her new home with secondhand furniture and loads of plants. What she didn't expect, however, was to be nagged on every single day about said plants.

Higurashi Kagome lives alone. It's true, her one bedroom apartment did in fact only house a single individual.

"Miko," she felt like snapping the pen in two at this point. "The aucuba looks dry."

It looks dry. The darn plant looks dry. The plant that requires a minimum of four hours of direct sun a day. The plant that has to be kept moist, but not wet. The plant that right now stood in the open balcony doorway to let natures water drip upon it.

To be fair, anyone would go crazy if they lived like Higurashi Kagome. When you buy your own place, you expect to be alone.

Sure, Kagome likes company. She enjoys hanging out with her high school friends and doesn't mind taking a jog in the neighborhood, waving and saying good morning to the old lady next door that always walks her cat for unknown reasons. She loves people, to be honest.

Ghosts, however, are another story.

"Miko," his low voice only helped her irritation to reach new heights. "There's a cat on the balcony."

Great. The stupid fat cat walked up the cat-designed walkway up to her balcony. How amazing that it is there, like it has been for many weeks now.

Sometimes she thought the cat hated the little sweet old lady for making him exercise.

She stood, making the stool almost fall over as she did, and went to sit down in the living room. Maybe if she watch some European soap opera the annoying ghost will go away. He didn't like the TV very much.

"Kagome," she got quite curious when he used her name. He rarely did. "You have a laundry time in three hours," he reminded. The corner of her mouth twitched, but she refused to acknowledge his annoying behavior. He was ridiculous sometimes. Or, most of the time.

Mr. Ghost had told her he used to be a vicious killer, ruler of the western lands – whatever that was – and that she should never take her safety for granted. Should she do something that displeases him, like having her bare feet up on the couch table, he will personally cut of her limbs to prevent further violations.

Of course, he rather nag about how the moist plant is too dry.

Although his body was transparent and light, you could still touch him as if he was real. It just felt kind of, erm, odd.

'Oh Marco! Our parents will never let us be together!' The main girl posed dramatically at this statement. 'You're a werewolf-vampire and also Satan, so there's no way you could love an ordinary girl like me!'

'Hilda!' The main boy's pose was almost as terrible as the girls. 'I will find a way so that we can live together forever! Trust me!'

Why did she watch these shows again?

"Miko," oh, right. That's why.

"Look, Sesshoumaru." She couldn't take it anymore. Every day he did this. Every day he found ways to be even more annoying in his 'I'm perfect and you're not' kind of attitude. "The plant is not dry. The cat always comes to the balcony and I am pretty damn sure I know when my washing hours are!"

The former lord of what seemed like a made-up title sat down next to her then. The couch cushions bent under his weight, which was rather remarkable since he barely weighted anything at all that one time she tried to carry him out the door; she refused to believe he was a ghost back then.

"Today is a lovely day." Great, the stupid lord was mentally underdeveloped as well.

"Sesshoumaru, it's raining outside," she stated with an eye roll.

"Perhaps," he began, "But your eyes reflect the brilliant blue of a summer sky. That is why it is a beautiful day."
