The room became silent.

Shippo and Rin were frozen in place, only a few feet from Sesshomaru's desk.

Ingo, Mitsuki, and Sesshomaru were staring at Kagome.

Kagome was fidgeting.

Kagome cleared her throat. "Uh… Sorry. We didn't mean to interrupt your meeting Sesshomaru-sama," she said, bowing, her eyes flicking briefly to Ingo and Mitsuki. "We'll leave now. Shippo-chan. Rin-chan."

The two children shot nervous looks at Sesshomaru, before turning around and walking slowly to Kagome.

"Sorry again, Sesshomaru-sama," Kagome said, before slipping out of the room with the children following her.

Silence returned, this time with more tension than before.

Hmm…

This is unexpected.

T.N.T!
