Kagome was still reeling from Kimiko's words when she arrived at the shop, and Sango, he bloodhound she was, smelled blood.

"So, how'd it go?" she asked casually, leaning against the counter, one arm propping her chin up. "Good, I hope?"

"She wants me to be the Taisho jeweler." Kagome stated. "The Taisho. Jeweler."

"Yeah, I know." Sango shrugged. "Did you say yes?"

Kagome blinked, staring in shock at Sango. "Did you show her my jewelry?"

Sango looked confused. "What are you talking about, Kags? She called me over the phone and asked if she could talk to you. Why?"

"Because she said that after seeing some of my work-" she paused, realization dawning on her. "Sesshomaru." She breathed.

"Who?" Sango asked blankly before her eyes widened. "Wait. The other son?"

"But- why would he do that?" Kagome muttered to herself. "He doesn't look like the type to do something like that.."

"Hon," Sango grinned, patting her friend on the shoulder, "Sometimes it's best not to ask questions."
