"What the fuck do you mean none of my business?!" a gruff shout travels down the hallway as I walk back to the pack wing. Pausing for a moment, I see Kimiko close her eyes in exasperation briefly beside me.

"Exactly what it sounds like, Yash. It's none of your business!" At the sound of Kagome's raised voice, I sprint to the end of the hall, ready to step in.

"Fuck that! There's no way in hell you're courting that asshole, I won't allow it!" I slide the door open, and see InuYasha standing on one side of the room, face contorted in anger, and Kagome still sitting on the same cushion from earlier, glaring at the hanyou. Sango is no longer in the room, and Miroku is sitting in his seat with his arms folded across his chest, one hand pressed to his temples, his eyes closed.

"And who the fuck put you in charge of what I can or can't do?" Kagome spits to the hanyou icily. She is trembling slightly with the weight of her ire, her aura rising up, snapping around her.

"The guy who's been saving your ass for the last five years, wench. He's bad news. I still don't get why you came here to begin with, but you're not staying now." InuYasha shouts back.

"Oh, really. Sure, I'll get right on that." the miko retorts, voice heavy with sarcasm. "You're such a fucking idiot. Go to your room, I don't want to see you. Not until you can stop being a moron. Do not come find me until I send for you. If you do, you'll regret it." With that, she stands, and turns to Miroku. "I'm sorry this idiot ruined the night, but I've missed you and Sango so much. Please tell her I'll come and find you two tomorrow at some point to hang out again." Turning to the door, she finally notices Mother and I. Smoothing her kimono, she takes a deep breath and then schools her face into a calm smile.

"Sesshoumaru, I'll talk to you in a bit. Lady Kimiko, it was a pleasure to meet you, and I do hope we get to spend more time getting to know each other. If you'll excuse me..." she says as she walks to the door, bowing lightly to my mother, catching my eye briefly, and then exiting the room.

"Well!" Kimiko folds her arms across her torso, pulling out a fan and snapping it open. "She certainly is a firecracker. You boy," she snaps her fan closed and points it at InuYasha, "you are a fool." This earns a snicker from the monk, as he stands to leave as well.

"I think I shall go find my wife. It was a pleasure to meet you, Lady Mother. And my deepest gratitude, Lord Sesshoumaru for your hospitality. We have greatly missed our dear friend. The opportunity to visit with her is not lost on myself or my wife, and we look forward to spending time with all of you again." With a bow, he walks to the door. "I bid you all good night."

Glaring at the spluttering hanyou, I shift towards the door myself, pausing to state, "Mother, you know where your rooms are. InuYasha, you can find the guest wing on your own. Good night." Then I sweep from the room, intent on finding my miko.
