Full or New Moon?
Intrigued; extremely curious if he can call it that. Sesshoumaru had somehow sat through dinner with the human females without an emotional breakdown from the female he was so desperate to help earlier. 'Desperate,' he mentally scoffed at the idea. He wasn't desperate when he heard the tangible distress in her voice. He wasn't desperate, was he? He simply didn't want his hands stained with blood. Well, not in today's society at least.
Throughout the awkward dinner, he kept silent and only looked up to observe Kagome's emotions within the close proximity. Roughly two hours ago, he answered her distress call. Not even five minutes after her initial call, he raced out of his brother's cubicle with her private information memorized. Being a purebred youkai, measly obstacles such as remembering an address are easily mastered. After fifteen minutes of driving; speeding more accurately, he barged into her home. Whatever happened after that initial shock of discovering her secret was beyond him.
So here he sat, barely touching the meal this girl's mother made. He was grateful to discover that the girl's grandfather was out to visit with old friends for the weekend. He certainly didn't need worthless talismans pinned on his body by an old man. Certainly not. Perhaps it was time to go before that very old man reveals himself.
"Thank you for this meal," he interrupted the awkward silence between the trio. After returning the slim metal chopsticks to the simple white porcelain chopstick rest, he stood up from the table and declined his head slightly. "I have important matters to attend to, please pardon my intrusion." Without waiting for a response, Sesshoumaru simply headed for the front door.
Behind him, he heard the elder woman urge her daughter to walk to the guest to the door while she clears the table of dishes. He heard the girl's soft footsteps—hesitant and unsure.
He didn't bother to turn to acknowledge her. In all honesty, he wasn't sure why he has acted the way he did when he answered her call. "It must be a new moon tonight," he mused to himself aloud, momentarily forgetting the girl's presence behind him.
"It's a full moon tonight," her soft voice was barely above a whisper.
Sesshoumaru spun on his heels, slowly as if trying to add a dramatic aura about him. He looked at her with an emotionless gaze before tilting his head ever so slightly, accompanied by a raised eyebrow. "It would seem so," was his response to her. "At least that's not a secret." A taunt.
He saw a sudden flash of anger burn in those immaculate blue pools they call eyes. It sparked something within him. Curiosity maybe. He saw her pink lips part, wanting to retort his remark. To her unfortunate fortune, he will not let her have the satisfaction of returning an insult—so he spoke.
"I expect answers," came his curt statement. He saw the immediate shock that registered on her face from the corner of his eyes. Before she could even release her held breath, he slipped on his shoes and was half way out of the door. "Be sure to fix that phone of yours." With the final words spoke, he slipped through the doorway and shut the door behind him.
He couldn't help but don on an amused smile when he heard her string of curses as he descended the stairs.
'It seems… she has some fire left in her after all…'
