“I desire nothing,” Sesshoumaru answered, curt and growing increasingly annoyed with the vague explanations from the fox demon.
“You say that,” Shippou started, turning to face Sesshoumaru with solemn eyes, devoid of his earlier amusement, “but this shop does not allow simply anyone to know of its presence unless they have business here.”
“The shop just happened to have caught my eyes today.”
“It allowed you to see it,” Shippou insisted. “Whether you consciously realize it or not, you desire something from her.”
“Fox, your stubbornness is starting to annoy me,” Sesshoumaru warned.
“Now, now,” a female voice cheerfully broke through the sudden tensed air around the two males. “No need for threats of violence, milord.”
Sesshoumaru turned to see a beautiful young woman with startling blue eyes entered the room from behind the drapes, dressed in a silk black kimono adorned with red poppies. Her long dark wavy hair bounced as she glided across the room until she stood between the two demons. She touched Shippou’s arm for a second, giving him a nod in the other direction, which the fox demon took as his cue to leave after a brief bow.
Once he was out of sight, the woman sighed, “Finding a good assistant is very difficult, I can’t have you go exterminating them freely.”
She turned to him, and smiled, “Now, how may I help you, Lord Sesshoumaru?”
