Sesshomaru was angry. Granted, this was usual, but on this morning it especially irked him. "Naraku!" he roared, storming out of their bedroom.
"What is it?" the spider called back from the kitchen.
Sesshomaru stomped into the kitchen like a big, white doggy thunder-cloud, just in time to duck the spoonful of mush Akago threw at the wall in protest.
"Just eat it, you damn brat," growled Kagura, trying to feed the baby.
"Don't call my son a brat," said Naraku sharply.
And speaking of Naraku's son... "Hakudoushi, stop bothering Jaken," said Sesshomaru, stopping the miasmic blast before it could begin.
The white-haired child gave him a hurt look. "It was Rin's idea."
"Rin!" said Sesshomaru.
"It wasn't, honestly!" Rin said with wide, innocent eyes from where she sat, trying to at least moderately interest Kanna in some dolls.
Kanna was busily polishing her mirror, happily lost to the rest of the world. For a brief second, Sesshomaru wildly envied her.
"It was so!" shot Hakudoushi back.
"Was not!"
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Naraku broke in, stuffing a piece of toast in either combatant's mouth.
Sesshomaru took a deep breath and fixed his face in a most fearsome scowl. "Naraku, we've all ready discussed this; no cobwebs over the bed!"
