"For whom did you think I bought all these food?" Kagome asked, refusing to have her gifts wasted. "I spent my week-long allowance for this!"

"I told you, woman, I don't eat human food."

"But—but this is different!" Kagome pushed, determined not to back down. She took a box labeled with 'Pocky' from the bag and shoved it to his face. "This! This is, um…MACHINE made!"

"Machine? Is that a foreign demon clan?" his eyes narrowed, looking at Kagome with distrust.

"No—but they're inhuman! I mean, not human! They're moving soulless objects," Kagome tried to grip for an explanation.

In truth, Sesshoumaru was enjoying it. He was amused by her flustered face that seemed a bit confused and unsure. He felt accomplished for having overthrown her confident mien. There was some rule to 'give-and-take', he was sure.

"Sesshoumaru, you villain!"

He realized there will always come a point where they would still view each other as an enemy, even if it was over trivial matters such as this.

She suddenly threw him something without warning. It was cool and wrapped with a clear coating. The shape was indescribable, if it had one.

"You eat raw food, right?"

He glared at her impertinent tone. "Tone down that voice and address me with respect," he reprimanded before turning his attention back on the thing he was holding. "What is this?"

"We call it ham."
