"Will you stop that?" Sesshoumaru snapped as he waved her hands away from his shoulders.
Kagome sighed exasperatedly behind him, and he glared over his shoulder at her and watched as she propped her hands on her hips. She had gone out and bought stylish clothes, and now she walked around as if she just walked out of a magazine or something. It irritated him.
She glared back at him and huffed. "Stop doing what, exactly?"
"Stop acting like you're my wife!"
"I am your wife!"
"You are not! I didn't agree to this." Sesshoumaru swiveled his chair around so he could ignore her.
She jerked his chair back around and glared into his startled eyes. "You had to have agreed. I wouldn't have activated if you hadn't verbally agreed to keep me and you wouldn't have opened the box!"
"How was I supposed to know some sort of doll was inside? My stupid younger brother ordered you without my knowledge, and I agreed because I didn't know you were what I'd get if I opened the box. Believe me, if I did I'd have sent you back to the factory!" He stopped, breathing hard, and felt overwhelmingly guilty when her face turned ashen and she took a step back from him.
She looked away, down, anywhere but at his face. "I'm not a doll." She muttered finally.
He didn't say anything. He just stared at her, guilt making him want to apologize, but pride kept his mouth shut. She looked out the balcony, her eyes following the flight of a far away bird. Then determination firmed her features, and she finally looked him in the eyes. "We have six months, Sesshoumaru-sama. I guess you'll just have to deal with me, won't you?"
Sesshoumaru could only stare at her as she flounced her way out of his office.
