"Is this something that all grown-ups do, Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Sesshoumaru tensed only marginally, but still, the towering dog demon inched his gaze toward the young fox, wielding an impressive glare. Shippo could only smirk at the warning. This simple question was asked in childish curiosity and with the utmost respect, Shippo mentally defended; and if Sesshoumaru didn't buy that, he could always pull the Rin friendship card. After a long moment, the Lord turned and began making his way back through the forest.
"Wait, Sesshoumaru-sama! I didn't mean to interrupt!"
Lord Sesshoumaru continued on, deigning not to answer, and Shippo thought with growing amusement that he probably hadn't appreciated being caught in the act.
"When I saw you watching Kagome sorting herbs for awhile"— he ignored the low growl— "I was only wondering because I know that somebody else has a habit of watching a certain someone, and I can never understand adults these days."
"It is not wise," Sesshoumaru stated coolly, finally pausing to show Shippo the gleam of Tokijin's blade. "To mention the hanyou in this Sesshoumaru's presence."
"Inuyasha?" Shippo asked curiously, as Sesshoumaru emitted another growl. "Who said anything about Inuyasha? I was talking about Kagome watching you."
