Playing Along

He felt his eye twitched at her behavior. Yes, it was his fault that she had finally snapped but she was the Lady of the West and should be above such behavior. He watched her shove a fork full of food into her mouth and clasping the chicken went to take a bite. Grabbing it out of her hand he picked her up. "My dear Kagome, you must be so tired! Let us get you to bed, for you have traveled far this day and must be weary," he proclaimed as he slung her once more over his shoulder and headed towards their room.

"GAH!" she let out the wind momentarily being knocked out of her. Catching a breath she quickly formulated a plan she pleaded with him, "Please!" she pleaded getting him to pause. "U-Um, please, put me down so that I can properly speak to my Lord," she requested knowing that if she didn't do this right she would be going without food which would put a kink in her plans.

He put her down but grabbing her chin he forced her to keep eye contact and stated, "Kagome, I am your husband. There is no need to call me Lord," he calmly said. He waited until she nodded her head and releasing her chin waited.

Taking a calming breath she began, "Please Lo-Toga I must eat." She implored, "It has been morning since I last ate and now it is night, I am famished!" she finished waiting for his response.

He thought it over leaving her to sweat a bit before answering. "Then let us eat." He announced smiling and holding out his arm he waited for her to grasp his arm. Once she did he laid his other hand on top of hers and led them back to the table, helping her to her seat. Making his way to his seat he then watched her gratefully pick up her fork but stopped her. "This breakfast looks promising does it not?" he inquired of her.

Startled she looked back down at her food; chicken, roast, green beans, rice and so much more but no breakfast food was there. "Tog-"

"Please, husband will do." He said cutting her off.

She noticeable swallowed and started again. "Husband, you are mistaken this is not breakfast," she said. "This is dinner that you see before us," she finished.

"It IS breakfast." He snapped back.

"No it is not, it is dinner!" she stated back at him, eyes round. What was wrong with him? 'Crazy, that's what!'

Shoving his chair back he got up. "If this is dinner, then we will be back when it is breakfast." He said as he began to walk towards her.

Horrified she quickly said what he wanted to hear, "You are right husband! It is breakfast before us, I was mistaken," she said. She watched as he came to a stop and slowly walked back to his seat.

"We all make mistakes, it is fine." He said nonchalantly. "Go ahead and eat," he finished as he watched her quickly shove some food in her mouth. "How is it?" He asked barely smirking at his victory.

Kagome quickly swallow before responding. "It is a wonderful breakfa-"

"My dear Kagome I fear you are mistaken. It is dinner that you eat not breakfast." He said, placing some food in his mouth he watched as she momentarily choked on the food in her mouth. He snickered to himself, enjoying her confusion.

Quickly grabbing the goblet she took a slow drink of water to clear her throat. He was playing her that was what was going on. Decision made, she could and would beat the two-timing bastard at his stupid game. Collecting herself she placed the goblet carefully on the table and with wonderment in her eyes gasped, "Why it is dinner!" she gasped out watching him carefully only to see him nearly dropped his fork at her agreement. Suppressing a chuckle she innocently waited for his reply.

"Is it?" he asked her eyeing her carefully.

"It is." She confirmed to him smiling sweetly. "You have said it is and therefore it is. It is whatever you wish it to be," she said grinning at him innocently and picking up her fork continued to eat her meal in stun silence. She had beaten him at his own game and left him shock. 'Yōkai- no Men."
