Mrs. Higurashi sighed, staring down at her tea. "I know what Kagome-chan does is important, but…"

"But what?" snapped the daiyoukai woman. "Face it. Your kid is a selfish brat, just like mine." She gestured with her after-dinner cigarette. "At least people remember you. I was married to the Inu no Taishou for three-centuries and who do they remember? Not me, but some trollop from the wrong side of the territory-" she offered an apologetic smile to the woman across the table- "No offense, Izayoi-chan."

Izayoi waved her hand and blushed. "Oh, no Amayami-sama," she said, covering her face with her hands. "After all, I really can't complain, Inu-no-Taishou-sama did give me the best thirty-seconds of my life."

Amayami smirked and Izayoi giggled as Mrs. Higurashi choked on her tea. She had to admit these Sundays out with girls were rather enjoyable, except…

"I just don't understand," sobbed a voice. "I do and do for them and they never appreciate it."

Amayami snuffed her cigarette, fighting the urge to roll her eyes. 'Not again.'

"Kanna never talks to me," Naraku blubbered. "Hakudoushi is always trying to overthrow me. And then my Kagura-"

"My son's stalker?"

Naraku ignored the comment, bursting into tears. "Where oh, where did I go wrong?"
