Perfect Match

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Inuyasha.

Kagome leaned against Sesshoumaru as they stared out at the pouring rain of the sudden monsoon that had hit, trapping them and a whole slew of other people in a restaurant with no power, and yawned, idly wondering how long the storm was going to last.

She was silenced by the voice of a young woman near them as a car's headlights swept over them as it turned into the parking lot of the restaurant, obviously not wanting to continue trying to drive through the storm.

"Hey... how come that car still has lights if the power is out?" the girl asked indignantly.

Kagome blinked, even as Sesshoumaru stiffened in disbelief behind a her. Turning her head to look at the girl who had spoken, she shook it, clamping down on her mate's thigh as he prepared to speak, just knowing what he was going to say.

Smiling pleasantly at the obviously not-to-bright young woman, who it was immediately obvious was also a hanyou, she said, "You know, you'd be the perfect match for my brother-in-law. He's also a hanyou-" she gestured to the woman's shirt, softly illuminated in the candlelight the management of the restaurant had provided, "-and is a huge fan of streetfighting tournaments, too."

The woman turned a bright, but frighteningly blank smile on Kagome. "Really? My name's Kikyou – what's his?"

"It's Inuyasha. I'll give you my number, and I can set you guys up on a date sometime, how's that sound?"

Her mate shuddered as the two females exchanged numbers, and once the storm began to calm and everyone went their way, he asked, "What are you thinking, woman? Inuyasha is slow enough on his own."

Kagome grinned. "Exactly. Do you really think he's going to find a woman who's smarter than he is that's willing to take him on? It's not going to happen. This girl makes him look just a tad bit smarter, making her perfect for him. He'll feel absolutely brilliant around her, and you know your brother will enjoy that. And that girl seems the type to like making a guy feel good, which will keep her happy. Each one plays to the others needs. That's what I call a perfect match."

Sesshoumaru cast her a very dirty look. "You had best pray, mate, that one or both of them are sterile. We wouldn't want dim and dimmer to procreate, now would we?"

"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said reproachfully, though inwardly she agreed.

Her mate simply eyed her, not saying another word.

There really was no need.

Perhaps a training accident in the dojo can be arranged with my poison whip... an accidental vasectomy. I would be most apologetic – but it would be a very... permanent... injury.

The idea was most satisfying, and his little mate need never know that it was deliberate.

Perfect match, indeed. Hmph. Stupid people should never be allowed to breed.

A/N: That question about the power and cars headlights was actually asked by an 18 yr old girl. I couldn't resist.
