Heart of Tensaiga
Manners Matter
Kagome was walking just behind Sesshomaru at this point and wondered just where it was that they were going. He had indicated earlier that they were to take some kind of detour as he had some 'lordly' business to attend to.
"Kagome, a word with you," Sesshomaru's voice stated and she stepped up to walk beside him.
"What is it Sesshomaru?" she asked, curious about what could have prompted the demon lord to start any kind of conversation with her. He had after all avoided talking throughout most of their trip unless he had to or if she prodded him into it.
"During the meeting you will refer to me as Lord Sesshomaru," he informed her. It would not do if he was seen as too weak to be properly addressed by a human and a woman no less.
Kagome simply smiled understandingly at him. "I see, so the important people are coming and we cannot have our Lord Sesshomaru being demeaned by a silly little human girl?" She said it low enough so that Rin would not hear and with a playful tone so that Sesshomaru would not think she was serious about her complaining.
"Hn," he responded.
"Do you wish me to start calling you Lord Sesshomaru now too?" she inquired.
"It matters not in the privacy of the pack; however, in front of others mind your manners. That is all I ask," he said.
She nodded. "That's little enough to do for someone that saved my life."
