Sesshomaru was a bad listener. Kagome had only known him for a few hours- two meetings in her office- but she already knew that until she solved that one problem she wasn't going to get anywhere. He was a pseudo listener and as she'd come to realize after a brief encounter in her office an ambusher- storing her words away to pull out in attacks later.
"How many people do you interact with on a daily basis?" She asked suddenly breaking the silence. "I mean do you listen to anyone at all?"
Sesshomaru thought about his answer thinking of the easiest way to provide her a response. There really was only one person who fit both descriptions perfectly.
"My daughter Rin is the only person I listen to."
