Kagome prepared herself for the argument she was sure was coming, but Inuyasha simply folded his arms into his sleeves.
"I don't suppose you'll let me use Tessaiga."
Sesshoumaru ran his claws through his hair, his air of nonchalance belied by the tautness in his shoulders. "I am sure you will find another way to demolish my home." He motioned to the tears behind him.
"Keh! I don't need Tessaiga to kick your ass. 'Sides, your army could probably use some pointers on how to fight dirty."
"Indeed."
To anyone else, it would seem like the brothers were still at odds, but Kagome smiled, her heart warming at the interaction.
Progress.
