Scientific Method
Chapter 67
Kagome was finally led to the private gardens of the Hojo estate. It was smaller than she imagined, but it was very tasteful. The garden was well-kept, the pond strategically placed—although the frogs in it were a tad disruptive to the overall picture of serenity. Why they would have noisy frogs when this garden shouted serenity was beyond her.
"This Sesshomaru enjoyed himself in these last centuries," Sesshomaru said evenly, unusually starting the conversation, "regardless of what happened."
Kagome moved closer as silently as she could. She imagined this was his way of saying he didn't blame her. After he started to ignore her, she thought it was because he was angry at her. She moped a little, but she knew there was nothing she could do. This was what happened. It was nice to hear him say something like this. "What did you use your time for?" she asked curiously. There were few things that could keep Sesshomaru interested.
The Taiyoukai merely shrugged and a smile blossomed on his lips. He was gorgeous, all smiling and ethereal under the moonlight. "I went in search of intelligent men," he said simply. "I met a few of these scientists," he eyed her then with a knowing look, "and they weren't as smart as the books made them out to be."
Kagome giggled at this and moved past Sesshomaru, crouching down in front of the pond. "Compared to you? Of course."
A grunt escaped the Taiyoukai's lips, and he stood behind her, "They were fools, miko," he said, somewhat annoyed. "Had I not helped them, they would have never made any discoveries."
This made Kagome laugh all the harder. A full minute later she sobered enough to say, "Well, apparently I was destined to leave those books behind."
Sesshomaru grumbled again and murmured, "Damn bastards took all the credit."
Kagome turned towards him. "Tell me about it," she urged with a curious smile.
Sesshomaru looked down at her, golden eyes calm, and after a small nod began his tale.
To be continued...
