Summary: Kagome’s had enough of the ‘new’ Sesshomaru. [AU]
A/N: This will eventually be added to Diddling the Help and takes place before Maid to Wonder, though it can be read on its own.
Kagome was busy dusting a small antique table when Sesshomaru strode past her on his way towards his study. She quickly grabbed the sides of her skirt and dipped in a curtsy.
“Good morning Mr. Taisho,” she greeted warmly.
Sesshomaru continued on his way without a word. If Kagome hadn’t caught the slight nod he had given her she would have thought he hadn’t heard her at all. She watched his retreating back with a frown marring her pretty face. When the door to his study banged closed, Kagome slapped her dusting cloth on the table and began forcefully rubbing furniture oil into the table’s surface.
“Good morning Kagome,” she imitated.
Sesshomaru’s reaction to her had been the same for the past two weeks. Before, he hadn’t been able to keep his hands off her, and now he couldn’t be bothered to grace her with a sideways glance; spare an extra second for a hello. At first Kagome had assumed that he was busy, but now she wasn’t so sure. Had she done something wrong? Had she done something to turn him away? Was it because of how she had reacted when Koga caught them together in the kitchen? No, he hadn’t changed all the much after that. He’d still sought her out; he had just taken a little more care to make sure no one else was around first. So what had changed between them?
Kagome sighed, exasperated, and her forceful ‘cleaning’ slackened off before her hand stilled completely. She found herself staring at the door to his study, wondering what she should do. She could go to him, but wouldn’t that be overstepping her station? She tossed the cloth she was holding onto the table and started towards Sesshomaru’s study, her strides purposeful; she had to find out.
