Chapter 82: Just

Miroku limped into view, damp hair loose around his shoulders. "Many apologies, ladies. It pains me to have alarmed you."

"What happened?" asked Kagome.

"A small misunderstanding."

Sango's brows drew down. "What kind of misunderstanding?"

"As it happens …." Miroku cleared his throat.

Kagome touched her lips to hide her smile. "Did you actually do something to offend Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"I will have a bruise, but I got off lightly, all things considered. He pinched me."

Sango looked shocked.

"Pinched you where?"

"Ah. In the same …." Violet eyes sparkled. "Well, Kagome-sama. I can say that Sesshoumaru-sama's chastisement was justly placed."
