Manners
The adrenaline from the fight with the snake youkai was beginning to wear off, and it left Kagome feeling drained and exhausted. A small piece of the burden on her shoulders lifted when Sesshoumaru agreed to help them. It was obvious he was angry about it. It was no comfort to her that there was no way he was going to accept them unless she threatened his honor.
"Ah, Sesshoumaru-sama, would you mind getting our bags? We had to ditch them because of, you know, the snake youkai..." Rin said while pointing across the river. Sesshoumaru briefly questioned his sanity before leaping across the river.
He returned and dumped them at Rin's feet.
Without another word, Sesshoumaru turned around and started walking away. Rin immediately picked up their bags and started following after him. Kagome smiled at Katsuro and took his small hand in hers.
"Sesshoumaru" Kagome started, then quickly remembered her manners. " Ah...-sama, how far away is your castle?"
He spared them no glance. "Three days travel."
