Chapter 4: Names

Their extensive knowledge of him and his lack of information about them disturbed him.
“As I have told that fox, I desire nothing,” he told the woman with measured calmness.
She nodded, accepting his words more readily than her assistant did. She walked into the next room, a quiet invitation for Sesshoumaru to follow, and he did. She settled down on a sofa and gestured for him to take a seat next to her. He hesitantly did as well.
“Then what business do you have in my shop, milord?”
“I had none,” Sesshoumaru said, ignoring how she addressed him, “but I am interested in how you know so much about me.”

“Your name then,” he demanded, “Sorceress.”
She laughed. “Well, I am better known as ‘the Sorceress’ these days-has a nice ring, wouldn’t you say?-but I’ve also been called the Dream Maker, the Witch, Lady, and who knows what else, but you may call me Kagome.”
