"Miko."
Kagome looked at the very tall man, feeling rather intimidated by his large stature, but she refused to let it show on her face, "That's not my name, Onii-san."
Sesshoumaru's brow automatically twitched at the familiar term of 'endearment', but he didn't allow himself to glare at the girl like he usually did when she called him that back in the past, "Kagome then."
The young girl gasped loudly and moved back when the strange man called her by her name, even when she had not told him it yet, "Are you a lolicon!?"
The Taiyoukai's brows then rose against his will when Kagome pointed at him accusingly with a suspicious expression, "Who would teach you such an inappropriate term, Miko?"
Kagome pouted when he called her that once more, "Papa did! He said to never talk to strangers because they might take me away! Stranger danger!"
"I am no stranger," Sesshoumaru almost snorted, but refrained from doing so because that was beneath his station, "Why are you alone?"
He watched as Kagome nervously kicked her feet, glancing away with a sullen expression, "I wanted to pet the kitty," She mumbled, blushing deeply when he gave her a look that made her feel ashamed, "I can find my home myself!"
'Even as a pup, the Miko is as stubborn as can be,' Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to sigh at her suddenly determined face, moving to intercept her when she began to wander off, "This one shall escort you home."
"You can't!" Kagome shook her head vigorously, "Onii-san is still a stranger!" However, she brightened noticeably when an idea hit her, "Tell me your name, Onii-san! Then you won't be a stranger anymore!"
It made logical sense to her young mind and her smile only widened when the man finally spoke after a slight pause on his part.
"I am Sesshoumaru."
