Chapter 17: Mismatched

While Kagome clattered about the apartment preparing for work, Sesshoumaru moved to the kitchen cupboards, unsure what he’d find; to his relief, she kept dishes in them like any normal person. Wait... what’s this? With growing consternation, he lifted one rice bowl after another from the shelf. “None of these match,” he announced, moving on to plates. “They’re all different patterns.”

“I know,” she defended. “It’s this way on purpose.”

“Indeed?”

“It’s tradition! My friends give them to me... or I buy them for myself. They’re each special... and it’s better than having knick-knacks cluttering up the place.”

“How... true.”
