Summary: Kagome's mom may be a saint, but she's far from stupid.
Any possible warnings. Drug use. I come from the stoner sub-culture (like no one guessed that before now – doi doi doi ) and think the ganja should be legal for adults. That being said, I don't condone the use of any intoxicant by minors. It just makes for a funny story and when I think Fabreeze shower, this is what comes to mind.

"Hojo-kun, put it out – I hear my mom coming up the stairs!"

Cough, cough… the sound of vigorous scrambling and drawers opening and closing.

Rumiko took her stately time walking up the last few steps. She even decided to stop and leisurely scratch an errant itch on one hip – which took an extra few seconds.

More rustling noises drifted down to her amused ears.

Snick! Snick!

"Dammit – why won't this thing light! Hurry up, Kagome!"

"Ayume, open that window!"

"What? But Eri, it's January…"

"Just do it!"

"Ok, ok!"

Mrs. Higurashi stifled a pert laugh and continued her way up the stairs, tea and bags of shrimp chips in hand. She had a very good feeling they were going to manna from heaven to her daughter and her friends.

Knocking softly, Kagome's mom poked her head into her daughter's vaguely hazy room.

"I brought you some munchies, Kagome. How's the studying going?", she asked kindly, trying not to wiggle her nose. They'd gotten creative this time – the slightest resinous smell of marijuana was not just covered by the incense that had just been lit – the stick was still full-size – but it had also been thoroughly showered in Fabreeze. The combination was nearly nauseating. Poor Hojo looked positively green around the gills, poor kid.

They all looked guilty as sin. The open window in the middle of winter didn't help their case any at all.

"It's going fine, Mom – that geometry test doesn't stand a chance against us, right guys?" Kagome winced out with an awkward little smirk. She was wearing sunglasses in a modestly lit room… poor thing. She was really trying so hard not show off her reddened eyes, wasn't she?

Just like her Father, Rumiko thought for a bittersweet moment.

"That's good dear. Glad to hear it. Well, I'll just leave the snacks here and go back downstairs. Let me know if I can help with anything, ok?"

Was Hojo going to be ill? He was now turning bright red – wait… was he breathing?

"NO!" Kagome yelled, just as her friend lost his battle and choked out a huge lung full of acrid smoke.

Five pairs of eyes quickly shot to Mrs. Higurashi, awaiting imminent doom.

Rumiko couldn't help herself. She laughed.

"Mom…?", Kagome squeaked out, pale as a sheet.

Eri, Yuuki and Ayume gawped like koi on dry land.

Hojo, coughing still, fell over backwards onto the floor with a hoarse groan.

"Next time, don't use so much Fabreeze, dear." Rumiko smiled kindly. Maybe next time she could find a way into the circle herself.
