Curious

"Lord Taisho," Kagome greets, and he waves her out of her bow.

"Kagome," he returns. "I admit I don't often work with humans, so forgive me of my ignorance. If you require anything that I am not providing, speak with Masu. As I've employed your services, I guarantee you that you will be well rewarded if your task is complete at the end of these three moons."

That sounds much nicer than losing her life, as Lord Uchihiko threatened the previous night. "I've gone over the guest list, and I've already found several demonesses that I'll keep my eye on," she says. The small fib makes her uncomfortable, but it's all for the future; she must find Sesshomaru's mother. It's her only option.

Inutaisho nods. "I find myself curious about you, Miko," he says. "You are the woman whose hands my fate is in, after all."
