The ride back was silent for quite a while.
That is until the children couldn't handle the tension anymore and began goofing off. Shippo pinched Rin's thigh and it got the two started into childish play. Sesshomaru watched in mild amusement. Kagome silently seethed in her seat and gazed out the window.
"It smells terrible in here." She stated calmly to him.
"That's because it smells like him in here." Sesshomaru replied dully. His hair slightly draped over his shoulder and he absently twisted some between two claws. Kagome couldn't help but watch his fingers swirl the hair around.
'Wish that was my hair….AHHHHH NO NO NO NO! I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT!' she mentally screamed at herself, aghast at the though. She hardly knew Sesshomaru. Besides, she was going to work for him and he was a ruler.
Her cheeks grew redder and it did not go unnoticed by Sesshomaru.
"Kagome. Are you well?" he asked. His sensitive nose had picked the smell up but he could tolerate it. The miko should be less sensitive to the smell.
"Ah…ye- yes. Sorry. I was just thinking." She stammered and quickly looked back at the window. Sesshomaru looked at his fingers as they twirled silvery hair. He looked back at the flushed onna and raised an eyebrow. He released the hair and glanced at the wrestling children.
Shippo had pinned a glowering Rin and smiled triumphantly. But he squeaked as the back of his shirt was gripped in Ssesshomaru's claws.
"Young gentleman do not wrestle girls. And if you will be at this Ssesshomaru's estate, you will be a gentleman. This Sesshomaru also expects you to act as a lady as well, Rin." Sesshomaru sat Shippo next to himself. The boy pouted and crossed his arms over his small torso. Rin mimicked her older brother and pouted next to kagome.
"what about mommy? Are you going to make her be a lady?" Rin asked, startling kagome from her stair out of the window.
"your mother already acts like a lady. But at the castle she will look the part. As you will, Rin." Sesshomaru replied.
"but Rin wants to play. Does this mean that Shippo and Rin cant play anymore?" the girl asked.
"no. you will play. But not physically. There are gardens filled with flowers, and galas and balls for you to attend. And many other things you will learn there as a lady." Sesshomaru said, earning a slight smile from the child.
"Flowers?" that certainly caught her attention.
