- 28. Calm before the storm -
Kagome went through her mental checklist on the 'essentials' that Sesshōmaru needed to know. She adored her family, but even she knew they could be a bit… much.
This statement held especially true whenever male guests were around, for whatever reason. It could be as mundane as them helping her carry something, or just to visit the shrine and pay respects. Her grandfather was the main culprit. While a man of great knowledge, he was getting up there in age, and well on his way to losing his faculties.
I hope they don't start with embarrassing questions...Or worse! Jii-chan better not corner Sesshōmaru into some kind of proposal on my behalf! Kagome mentally groaned. Her jii-chan was rather fond of playing matchmaker on the side.
She took one long inhale, savoring the last moments of peace.
"Here we go.." She mumbled before sliding the door open.
May the gods have mercy on my soul.

A/N: Quick update for the week (RL got me tripping) Things will happen soon. Sometimes it takes a couple of jump-starts to get this brain flowing. I have a rough outline (which is PAGES long) that I use to reel myself back in. By the time I get to writing, I am pooped (from real life - besides work, I am also in school [2nd degree, accelerated track] and the pandemic basically dumped more busy work on us since we are virtual) and so I can't English. Editing is an arduous process.
Thank you for reading!
