Heart of Tensaiga
Explanations
Kagome's mother stood at the table and motioned for everyone to sit down and happened to notice that Sesshomaru waited for the ladies to finish sitting before he himself sat down.
"Everything looks delicious mom," Kagome all but drooled. Living in the Feudal Era always seemed to bring out the inner eating demon within her.
"Well everyone, eat up," she announced.
Everyone prepared their plates and Sesshomaru's brow rose when Kagome began to pile the food on her plate, seemingly trying to fit as much as she could upon the surface. He arranged his plate methodically and as any lord would be expected to, with perfection. Sesshomaru felt the stare coming from Kagome's mother and knew what it was that she wanted, "How may this Sesshomaru help you, Mrs. Higurashi?"
She smiled so sincerely at him at that moment and said with such emotion in her words, "I wanted to thank you, Lord Sesshomaru. You brought my daughter here when she was ill and saved her life in doing so. You spared me the loss of a loved one and I wanted you to know that I will always be grateful for you."
He watched the sincerity in her eyes and wondered just how alike mother and daughter really were.
"I also wanted to discuss how it is that my daughter is traveling with you and not with Inuyasha," she all but demanded in her own motherly way.
Kagome sighed as this was going to be a very long night.
