The boy gave him a considering look, his body, his aura, still poised for battle.
Sesshoumaru smirked, a clawed hand settling on the kit's head. "Your bravery has been noted. Shippou."
Emerald eyes widened in wonder, the two youkai staring at each other before Shippou's chest puffed up in pride.
"Will you allow me to go speak with your mother now?"
"She's going to yell at you a lot."
"I anticipate that."
"'Cause you deserve it."
Another smirk. "Indeed."
Shippou had the audacity to pat him on the head. "She's going to win."
Sesshoumaru rose to his full height. "I concur."
