"It's belittling to me." Naraku crossed his arms.
"It's a pet name," said Sesshomaru with a weary sigh, flexing his latest left arm.
"I don't want a pet name, especially not one that's factually incorrect!"
"It's nearly the same anyway."
"It is," snapped Naraku, "most certainly not!"
Hakudoushi trambled through the living room, a stubbornly silent Akago on his back.
Sesshomaru watched them go. "I bet they wouldn't mind."
"Yes, they would; they're me, so they mind when I tell them to."
"You're overreacting."
"I expect you to be factual!" The half-demon's face twisted in a fierce scowl. "Especially about me!"
"Naraku..."
"All right, then; I'll call you mutt."
Sesshomaru's eyes flared red. "I am pure-bred!" He blinked and sighed. "But that's different from calling you a bug."
"I'm an arachnid!"
"But you still have too many legs."
