Chapter 4 - Language Techniques
The query went right over Kagome’s head. In fact, it was correct to say that Sesshoumaru’s question whisked past her, boarded a ship and sailed to the other side of the world. He was obviously not impressed. The dog demon leaned even closer, white gold hair curtaining them and right hand digging in her shoulder.
“This one will rephrase the inquiry.” His voice was but a growl; the deep vibration of it made the hackles on her neck rise in warning. “What is this,” his talon clinked on one of the circular beads, though his poison did not appear to damage the reiki endued object. “doing on this Sesshoumaru?”
Kagome winced as the prickling of Sesshoumaru’s claw further tightened. She could tell that it was drawing minuscule amounts of blood but her mind went blank on what to say. Beg for her life? Plead for clemency? All suggestions her mind gave seemed humbling and sure of her imminent death, two things that made her mouth go sour.
So, she tried the third, silent option, explain. “They’re… the Beads of… Subjugation and…” Bashing her head against a wall would be preferable to the subtle scepticism on Sesshoumaru’s features. Rhetorical question. Right.
