Kagome squinted at him. "Excuse me?"
Sesshomaru smiled. "I hereby withdraw my offer of hospitality from the miko Lady Kagome, and decree that she is no longer welcome in the Palace of the West." He opened the door and held it wide. "Leave."
She was at a loss. "What? You can't just do that!"
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"You kidnapped me and brought me here! You dragged me through the hallway, for goodness' sake. You can't just kick me out like this!"
He was amused. "I thought you wanted me to release you. I am doing just that."
"But…"
"Ask and you shall receive, Lady Kagome."
Kagome gritted her teeth. "Alright then." She reached for the pile of silks, but a clawed hand reached out and stopped her. "What now?"
"You are no longer a guest here," he said courteously. "You have declined my hospitality."
"My robe is wet," she said angrily. "Do you expect me to walk out like this?"
"It is what you asked for," he said airily, looking quite satisfied with himself. He pointed at the door.
Rage welled up inside her, but she swallowed it back. "Well then, Lord Sesshomaru, I will let you know that I enjoyed my stay horrendously."
"Why, thank you."
Trembling with fury, Kagome stalked out the door.
Day Four of 12 Days of Christmas, in which I update one of my stories or post a oneshot daily up until and including Christmas Day!
Previously was Of Captivity and Captivation: War lord Sesshomaru remembered the blue-eyed priestess as a worthy warrior. However, years of torture as a prisoner of war had destroyed her. As the one who captured her in battle, he takes it upon himself to heal the broken miko.
Next, we'll have A Perplexing Fascination: For some reason, Sesshomaru has had a perplexing fascination with Kagome Higurashi as of late; watching her, following her, even going so far as to arrange little incidents where they meet. But he's not satisfied with this strange relationship, and one day he decides to take it to a new level.
Cheers!
