Chapter 51: Silhouette


"Insufferable humans." Sesshoumaru stated once Kagome had closed the door.

"I am sorry all us 'humans' are not up to your standards, Lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome's voice dripped with sarcasm. "I will put your clothes on the bed for you. You're welcome." she said heading down the hallway before she said something she would regret. He hadn't even thanked her, not the she thought he would. She didn't know why she was so angry, but she didn't want to get into a fight. She set the bags on Sesshoumaru's bed, planning to go sit in her chaise lounge chair and lose herself in a book for the evening, only to find her path blocked by Sesshoumaru's silhouette in the door.

"Excuse me, Lord Sesshoumaru." She said trying to pass, but he didn't move. ~I should have turned on a light.~ she mentally chastised herself because she couldn't see his face to see what expression he wore. ~Not that his expression ever really changes.~ she noted.

"You were not included in my comment, miko."

"Good to know. And my name is Kagome." she was growing tired of being called miko.
