Tea With A Taiyoukai
Kagome's eyes widened at the decor of the beautiful place that Sesshoumaru called home. It wasn't as lavish as she had imagined, but it wasn't exactly what she expected either. It was clean and simple with a few family relics on display and lots of windows and doors to give the illusion of being outside instead of sitting inside at a simple dining table.
Sesshoumaru chuckled with amusement from the table, sipping a cup of tea that he held with two hands. Yes. Two hands. It felt damn good to be able to say that again. "Do my living quarters not live up to your modern standards, miko?"
She searched for the right words. "It's beautiful, just not what I expected the home of a great taiyoukai to look like." Kagome joined him and poured herself a cup of the fragrant tea.
Jaken snorted. "Did you actually think Lord Sesshoumaru would live like a feral beast in his regal true form?"
Instead of the fearsome demon that she had seen other occasions, Kagome imagined Sesshoumaru in true form laying on his back while Rin scratched his chin, tail wagging wildly. Rather than admit that she just nodded, agreeing with Jaken. "Yeah, a wild dog with a taste for blood."
"You idiot human! Lord Sesshoumaru is not a filthy lesser dem-" He was silenced when an elaborate tea cup smacked him in the forehead.
Sesshoumaru grabbed one of the other cups on the table and poured himself more tea. "So, miko. A taste for blood?"
