Hungry
Breakfast is intolerable. The food is delicious, but the atmosphere is suffocating.
Inutaisho unhappily greets guests, all showing off their daughters, and he can barely keep his eyes from rolling into his skull. The food is the only thing that offers him relief. Uchihiko sits on one arm and the Lady of the South on the other; she is a demoness he respects, but she too brings her marriageable daughter into conversation.
As breakfast drags on Kagome's kimono shifts, and he spares a glance.
She is intensely focused. Her eyes dart between demonesses, observing them, lips moving silently as she makes mental notes. She's taking her job seriously. Then, an unholy, offensive, and ludicrously boisterous gargling rises from her stomach.
She freezes, horrified, and every demon in the room stares.
Inutaisho tries – he really does. But he can't help himself.
He busts up.
