Pushing her quite forcefully inside the dining room, Kagome almost stumbled over. She glared at Sesshomaru for his harsh treatment but he only gave her an amused look.
Tearing her gaze away from him, she saw a large table in the middle of the room full of food. Amidst her anger, her stomach still growled for the food, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten anything since morning.
“Seat,” Sesshomaru ordered as he walked towards the chair at the head of the table. “Do what you’re told,” he said after a while when she didn’t move.
“No,” Kagome replied angrily. But, even in her wrath, she knows how powerful this daiyoukai is. She could feel his youki sizzling and raging inside of him, it makes her want to cower away and just do whatever it is he wants.
She registered a flash of anger in his golden eyes before his mask of impassiveness wiped away any kind of emotion from his handsome face.
“I have no reason to follow your orders,” she said in a firm voice.
A few moments passed in silence between them as they glared at each other in challenge. Suddenly, Sesshomaru’s eyes light up in amusement and a chuckle escaped his lips.
Kagome’s eyes narrowed at him. “Do not laugh. I am not here to entertain you.”
Leaning back in his chair, he drawls, “Your defiance is quite entertaining, miko. Killing weaklings were too dull. It must have been serendipity that you sent yourself here for my amusement.”
“How dare you?!” She growled furiously. “You truly are a monster! You killed people without even a tinge of remorse!”
Raising his brows at her, “Am I supposed to cry at those I’ve killed? Then, say sorry for having to kill then? Oh, I should never kill in the first place because it is too cruel.” He said coldly, his voice raising a few pitch. “But, I don’t care! I don’t have those pathetic emotions you humans possess. Emotions make you weak.” His eyes became colder than usual, it chills her to the bones but somehow, she understands how emotions wreck ones heart and soul.
With a sneer, Kagome stride purposely towards him while asking in a light tone, “How about anger? How about hatred? It makes me feel brave. Brave enough to come here to be slaughtered. How about that?”
Narrowing his golden eyes, he leers, “It depends. Certainly, you can see how those emotions make a fool out of you.”
She smiled as she reached where he sat. Walking behind him, she whispers spitefully near his ear, “When you have your mother, sisters, cousins, and friends slaughtered by a beautiful monster like you, the line between bravery and foolishness have to be crossed.”
Yanking her from behind him, she landed on his lap.
“Eat for now,” he said with a smirk. “Then, we shall see how far your hatred and anger could take us both.”
With a glare, she quickly devoured the food offered to her while she sat on his lap.
