Summary: Shishio has been talking to Tae for over an hour. Kamatari is jealous. Naturally. What did she want anyway?
Who Was She?
"What did Tae want to talk to you about?" Kamatari didn't bother with pleasantries. He just wanted to know what went on inside there that took so long. The barely disguised suspicion in his voice brought a smile to Shishio's face.
"The usual. She's trying to convince me to marry again." He said nonchalantly as he continued inspecting the blade of his sword for cuts.
Kamatari kept a straight face but mentally he was plotting Tae's death in several painful ways. That bitch! I could strangle her or maybe I should just cut her up into tiny pieces and let that be the end of it. He waited for Shishio to tell him more but when he didn't, he asked in the most offhand way that he could manage.
"Oh. What did you say?"
"I told her she was insane."
"Oh." Kamatari relaxed. He grinned and then wiped it off his face as fast as he could before Shishio saw him. "Well I guess I better go. You probably have things to take care of."
"Was I right?" Kamatari stopped dead in his tracks. He turned. Shishio was still looking at his sword unaware that anything was wrong.
"Yes, my lord. You were."
