"Sessmomo?"
The Taiyoukai closed his eyes as the young girl tried to repeat his name and failed rather miserably, 'Remember, she is still only just a pup.' He had to remind himself of that fact numerous times in his mind.
He could not punish her because she was not technically of his pack yet.
"That's a weird name, Sessmomo!" Kagome giggled, completely oblivious to the killing aura that seemed to come off the tall male.
Passersby, however, seemed to sense this and gave the two a wide berth as they reluctantly glanced at the sight before hurrying on their way.
The girl didn't seem to be in distress either.
"Your name is just as strange," Sesshoumaru retorted, wondering why he was resorting to such childish tactics as she pouted up at him, "Is it not the name of a children's game?"
"I hate that game," Kagome mumbled, suddenly looking rather annoyed at him, "People make fun of me. You're mean, Sessmomo."
Sesshoumaru closed his golden eyes once more and let out a breath, "I apologise," He said quietly, knowing he had upset the tiny girl, "Your name is unique. Be proud of it." He demanded.
Kagome stared up at him in surprise, blinking a few times before bursting out into a bright nostalgic grin that reminded him of Rin, "Okay, maybe you're not so mean, Sessmomo!"
Even as a pup, she was still as insufferable as ever, yet he knew he would never want her to change for anything in the world.
He had grown soft.
