A/N: Prompt – N/A. Because an update was well past due.
The house stood intact. No rumblings or crumblings or otherwise alarming grumblings that indicated a swift evacuation in the near future. Miraculously, the house was intact. No shuddering and shakings and shivering to signal impending loss of life and limb should one be standing under the roof when it caved in.
But then, the roof wasn't going to cave in, was it?
Because the house was completely inta – Kagome noted, with relief, that there was a hole in her bedroom window. The house was not intact. And the incessant voice had mercifully shut its hysterically oblivious self up and abandoned her to assess the catastrophe.
Said catastrophe was staring out said hole to the rather heavy table lamp that was fizzing purity on the ground beneath the window, having missed its intended destination.
Abruptly, he whirled and pinned a fierce glare on her. Kagome stilled instantly, paperweight held aloft and ready for assault. The power in those gleaming ruby irises hadn't changed one iota, she noted. They could still freeze her in terror, leeching all confidence in her abilities, because who was she but a base human in front of an even baser monster? Still, she had vanquished him before.
And I'll do it again, even if I have to do it alone, she determined, gathering her courage about her. Inuyasha, Sango, guys…lend me your strength!
She braced her arm, readying the paperweight, when her mother's cheerful voice announcing her return stopped her for a moment.
Of course, that man couldn't resist the opportunity to run his mouth again. "Come now, my pearl. If you're going to show such abusive tendencies so prematurely, I'm going to have to add some clauses to the pre-nuptial contract. How troublesome…."
Naturally, her mother walked into the room just in time to prevent murder.
