Chapter 8:
Recap: Then they started to lean in...
"Wait! Pause the movie!,"Asumi said, stopping them both. "Lemme go get the popcorn!" She scampered off, and Sesshoumaru shook his head in half annoyance/half fondment of his heir. He turned back to Kagome and was surprised o see her eyes brimming with tears. She backed up off of her knees, and said while sniffling: " I can't do this ..you can't..you'll treat, me like-" 'Your possession' Kagome thought. She stopped and pursed her lips. "Like what?" He growled. "I'm not the same boy as I was 8 years ago!" She just shook her head and started to walk off. He just watched her walk away.

"Sesshoumaru, would you like another slice of steak?", Izayoi Mikage held a hovering plate towards him. It had been piled high with chunky pieces when they sat down, but one trip around the table had dwindled generously. He shook his head and murmured his thanks to her. He'd already had 8 slices and a mound of rice. He hadn't eaten rich food like this since- well he'd never once ate like this. The cherry wood table, set in the center of the dining room, was used as a buffet for guests' breakfast, but now light from the crystal chandiler fell on 7 Mikages and one un welcomed guest. Touga, (Kagomes' Father) must have his hands full, cooking for the Mikage Clan every day. Kouga and Ginta, seated on his right, were a couple of years older than Kagome. Both tall and lean, they had few resemblesances to their adoptive cousin, Touga. Inuyasha, the baby of the family, alternated between glaring at Sesshoumaru, and focusing on his plate. He clearly wasn't recounsiled to his presenced at the family table. 'Nobody was', Sesshoumaru supposed. Touga had a faint grin for him, but either that was his idea of hospitality, or apart of his easy going personality. Asumi squirmed in her cushion, a little too small for her. Probably to eager for the movie Asumi had chattered about, with her Uncle Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru could feel Kagome's tension from across the table. He gazed at her, appreciating the view. He wasn't going to try to manfracture a conversation a conversation while all them listened. Asumi seemed to notice. She caught her fathers eye and raised an eyebrow. Small talk erupted into the content evening. Sesshoumaru leaned back. He wasn't apart of the Mikage Clan. Wheather meaning to or not,the clan had made that clear. Inuyasha said something teasing to Kagome, making Asumi giggle. Kagome (playing along), ruffled Inuyasha's hair, earning a grin from him. Vaguely, Sesshoumaru remembered his childhood at the dining table. He recalled he hadn't born much resemblance to them,and before they divorced, he faintly recalled that they usē to dine in the elegant room with velvet drapes and silver plates. He and Kenji had a nursery supper, he supposed. But then he'd been shipped off to boarding school. Was that the kind the kind of childhood he wanted for Asumi? He gazed at Asumi, who was smiling at some skit Touga and the twins häd made up. The laughter in her eyes was for the Mikages, not for him. 'She's a well loved child'.. Kagome's words rang into his conciousness. Asumi had plenty of people to love. Kagome had plenty of people to support her. Why was he fighting so hard when it seemed they were coming along fine? Abrutly an annoying horn sounded, startling Sesshoumaru from his musing. Inuyasha and Asumi were off their cushions in a blur. "That's them. C'mon!" Inuyasha said time as Asumi said, "That's them. CanIgonow?" Quickly, Kagome kissed her pup's head and affectionately tweaked the younger Inu's ear. "Bye Momma Bye Ojii Bye Obasan Bye Unc's Bye..."Asumi's eyes quickly rotated the table, her voice trailed off when her young eyes laid on Sesshoumaru. "G'night," she muttered. Then she and Inuyasha dashed out the door. Sesshoumaru cleared his throat, calling all the Mikages attention to him. "This Sesshoumaru would like to know if you sent me the picture," he gazed at each of them in turn, weighing reactions merticulously. "I only require the truth," he added, narrowing his golden eyes for emphasis. "No," the twins said grimly together. "I wish I had,"Touga answered sadly, and his mate\wife shook her head. "Alright, If y'all here something ,anything at all..." Kagome hastily added. All the Mikages nodded, and left one by one. Kagome stacked the plates with a little more force than necessary. "Was it absolutely necessary to question my family, Sesshoumaru?! " She hissed angrily, her tail swishing back and forth agitadely. "Calm yourself. Your aura's causing your pack to alarm." Sesshomaru said. He waited until she calmed down. "This Sesshoumaru has learned to trust no one. To expect the worst from everyone." He stated quitely. "My family wouldn't never do that to me, I trust them with my life, Sesshoumaru." She spoke the last words softly, caressing his name but steeling her emphasis on family. Coming around the table, Sesshoumaru put a hand on her shoulder. Silently, Kagome gently touched Sesshoumaru's face, and Sesshoumaru glanced down at her, and found himself embeded in her eyes..'Whoever sent the picture, for whatever reason, it wasn't the Milage clan.' Sesshou mused. He took a step back, nodded, and disappered.
