"So are we just going to sit here on our tails then?" Inuyasha's question drew all their attention, but it was the wolf that answered first.
"Like hell we are. That's my woman out there!" Kouga pounded a fist into an open palm, looking more than eager for a fight.
And once again the two were at it. Rolling his shoulders, along with his eyes, Sesshoumaru was mentally complaining how he was getting too old for this. Or maybe it was that their fights over the miko had grown old centuries ago.
"Enough. We will depart for Manhattan. But you," he directed his gaze onto his brother. "You will notify your mate first. I do not want to hear from my servants about your mate getting hysterical and taking it out on my property."
"Yeah, yeah. Keep your panties on. That was only once and she was pregnant." Inuyasha grumbled, but mentally shivered as he relived the memory of said damage.
Narrowing his eyes, Sesshoumaru snapped at the halfbreed. "Still, you are her mate; you will control her."
"Is everything alright with Kagome?" A soft voice, not belonging to Souta, now asked about the miko.
They all turned to the petite woman, Sesshoumaru mentally observing how the miko favored her mother more than her father. It was Inuyasha, however, that answered her question.
Huffing, Inuyasha answered in the best way he knew, thinking to ease the Higurashi family's fear. "Yeah, she's fine. Kicking butt, making a mess, and hogging all the fun. We're just going to make sure she doesn't do any more substantial damage to the city, knowing her clumsy self."
While Inuyasha's words were nowhere near what Sesshoumaru would have used, they satisfactorily eased some of the woman's fears. She offered them a watery smile and bid them all farewell; wishing them well.
Souta returned with a tray full of freshly brewed tea, only to see that their guests were no longer present. "Mama, they went to Kagome, didn't they?"
Nodoka nodded her head. "Yes. Now come sit with me. Best not to waste that tea."
Shrugging his shoulders, Souta did just that.
