Gaudy and Tasteless
“So why the hell is this place so…” Inuyasha lips were pressed together, staring at the garlands that decorated every inch of available space, getting hypnotized with all the metallic colors. “…ugly.”
“Inuyasha!” Kikyo began to scold, narrowing her brown eyes at him and his rude comment.
“What? Even in our home we didn’t put up this much crap.”
“It’s Kagome’s personal choice and her decision on how she wanted to decorate her house.”
“Hey bastard, how the hell can you deal with this?” Inuyasha asked, still glancing around at all the pretty colors.
“Well a typical person would ignore it.” Sesshomaru started, taking the opportunity to insult his younger brother. “But someone of your mental capacity would behave like a child and look at everything.”
“Oi! My attention-span has nothing to do with this!” Inuyasha growled out, standing up from his seat to crack his knuckles maliciously. Only when Kikyo gave him a pointed look did he retake his seat once more, pouting and peering at the reds and greens.
Sesshomaru scoffed. “Then why are you still looking it?”
“Is your dumb-ass blind, it’s everywhere! How can you not look at it?”
“So do you like it?” Kagome asked, catching the very end of the conversation. She sat besides Sesshomaru, unaware of the sudden tension.
“Eh, could have used more of these…” Inuyasha looked at Kikyo for help.
“Garlands.”
“Yeah, more garlands, it’s not enough.” Sesshomaru began to glare and Inuyasha had to stifle his snickers. “Sesshomaru said so.”
Kagome turned confused eyes at her husband. “But I thought you didn’t want anymore up, that simplicity works best?”
“It’s fine how it is, Inuyasha is lying.” Sesshomaru rubbed her arm. “He said it was ugly.”
“What!? No I didn’t you bastard!”
“Why would you say that Inuyasha, does it really look that bad?” Kagome had that watery look in her eyes that made Inuyasha undeniably uncomfortable. He looked towards Kikyo, only to see her staring at him, as if waiting for his response.
“It looks great Kagome!”
Kagome’s bottom lip jutted out. “You said it was ugly, why are you lying?”
“You’re gonna believe this bastard here?!”
“Well he is obviously my husband.” Kagome calmly stated.
“He’s my brother, you know he hates my guts! Think you stupid wench! He‘s out to get me!”
Kagome shook her head. “It doesn’t matter, what matter is that I like it, so anybody else’s opinion is irrelevant.” She got up and left the room.
“Look what you did.” Sesshomaru’s tone was loaded with accusations.
“Me?! I ain’t do anything! You had to open your big mouth and tell her that, you damn snitch!” Inuyasha yelled out, gritting his teeth together in anger.
Kikyo shook her head, her patience was more withstanding than everybody in the house combined, but even she felt a headache forming as the two brothers continued blaming each other. Good thing they were about to leave soon, anymore insensitive comments from Inuyasha and she might just blow a gasket.
