Sesshoumaru's POV
oooooOooooo
Chapter Fifty-One: Restless
oooooOooooo
Ridiculous.
This entire spectacle was ridiculous.
I glanced at Kagutsuchi and scoffed. Even now, after three hours, he continued to stare at Mother with something akin to wonder. Though understandable, it irked me. After all that he had done, the fact that he was here, in my home,enjoying tea was . . . ridiculous.
I scowled as Kagutsuchi reached for the teapot, which just so happened to be directly in front of me. He paused, his black eyes peering into mine, and I glared back. How I loathed him . . .
"Sesshoumaru," Kagome whispered sharply, breaking my concentration. Her delicate brow was furrowed in disapproval. "I would appreciate it if you wouldn't be so rude."
Rude? Before I could reply, I heard my brother laugh quietly. "You are asking for the impossible, Kagome," he said conversationally. "Have you forgotten how much he despises me? You cannot expect him to be polite."
"I don't," she answered immediately, and I noted Kagutsuchi's surprise with muted delight. "Civility is all I ask for. Despite past transgressions you are, at this moment, our guest, and I should think both of you can behave accordingly."
"Indeed," Mother cut in. "Kagome has been kind enough to host our little get-together, and the least you could do is respect her wishes." She cast my wife and I meaningful looks. "Let's not forget why we are here."
Ah. Yes. Rin and Kagutsuchi: the most unorthodox couple in history.
With a silent sigh, I grasped my tea and sipped slowly.
It was going to be a long day.
oooooOooooo
