Beads

Sesshoumaru was trying his best to keep his rage contained. He kept a blank face, as Katsurou laughed and climbed all over him.

He stood with his right arm straight out while Katsurou swung around his arm like it was a tree branch.

Kagome and Rin chose that moment to grace them with their presence.

Rin tried her best to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter, and Kagome simply stood there with her mouth open. Kagome thanked the gods and any ancestors who might have been listening, that her son had a least put on his pants.

Katsurou hung from Sesshoumaru's out stretched arm and grinned.

"Alright, Katsurou, time for..."

"Why." Sesshoumaru cut her off.

Kagome looked at him confused.

"Why is he wearing subjugation beads?" Sesshoumaru seethed.

It had occurred to her that his beads had been well hidden under his red haori, but now were as plain as day.

Sesshoumaru glared at her with contempt.
