"Good night Rin." The little girl murmured back sleepily to Kagome as Kagome watched. She felt a presence behind her and turned to see Sesshomaru looking at Rin tenderly. When the two were sure Rin was asleep they closed the door behind them and walked back to the main room.
A few hours later as the party was winding down Kagome found herself in Hatsumomo's presence again.
"You were the subject of some very interesting conversations tonight Kagome." Kagome knew that, she didn't need affirmation of it. But she was wondering why Hatsumomo was bringing that up.
"Needless to say, I assured them all of your good manners and upbringing." Kagome watched as she walked away and then squeaked as she realized something. Hatsumomo had never disagreed with the conversation topics.
