Sesshomaru knew that the silence was only the calm before the storm, and his battle hardened mind and body began to prepare for what he knew was going to be a violent reaction.

And was sorely disappointed.

"What-what do you want with Kikyo, you bastard?! You keep your filthy paws off her!" Inuyasha yelled.

Sesshomaru found himself hard pressed not to roll his eyes, a reaction that he had learned from the miko in her dealings with the idiot that was his brother.

"I assure you, Inuyasha, that this one wants nothing to do with the previous miko. I do not like to dally with dead things, so I shall leave that disgusting vice to you."

Inuyasha spluttered, "Y-you!"

"Be quiet, Inuyasha," Miroku implored, "Lord Sesshomaru, since it is not Kikyo you are looking for, then I must give you our apologies for we are currently deprived of Kagome. She is... resting."

Sesshomaru angled his gaze to the monk. "Resting you say, Monk? The day has hardly yet begun. Surely the weakness of humans has not yet sunk so low."

"Why you! You leave Kagome-nee-chan alone, you-you-you bully!" A childish voice yelled.

The demon lord's eyes widened in surprised as the Miko's kit leapt toward him.
