Angel or Boogeyman

Sesshomaru kept an eye out for his innocently behaving wife from across the room. She was clearly up to something; has been since that morning. First, she woke him up at an ungodly hour singing with an intensity that could outshine a cat, and he must say she was extremely lucky he didn’t had to work that day.  Second, she burned his pancakes and that wasn’t one thing anybody should mess with. And third, she just kept making baby noises to annoy him, which it did, thinking it was cute or something. It just made her sound demented.

“Are you alright?”

Kagome paused, holding the plate in her hand. “I’m fine.”

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the clipped tone and answer, she have been talking like that all day. “Are you positive, you have been acting like…”

“Like what?”

He looked away, seeing an argument a mile away. “Nothing.” He returned his attention back to his computer, inwardly wincing when Kagome shoved the dishes and utensils harshly in their places. Briefly, he wondered if he did something that made the petite woman angry with him. But he couldn’t remember what he said.

Closing his eyes, he tried to recall what occurred. They were having dinner and… his eyes widened. Surely she wasn’t made at that, he was joking or she should have thought he was joking because he never jokes about anything.

He implied that she was getting fat.

Now he knew the reason why she was acting like the devil. Kami, she was so sensitive. It wasn’t a lie, he just tried to conceal the truth by making a joke out of it, and by the way she was acting today, he wasn’t very humorous.

“If it’s any consideration, I apologize.”

“Oh really now.”

Great, now she have said her infamous phrase, like she didn’t believe him plus while making him sound idiotic. “It seems I have offended you in some type of way.”

“You called me hormonal woman who acted like the boogeyman!” She suddenly shouted, and Sesshomaru actually winced out loud.  “I act like a perfect angel! How could you say that to me?”

“I don’t remember saying that.” He tried to defend himself.

“You did after you said I was getting fat.” Okay, now he knew his comedic attempts were actually horrible.

“I was making an humorous attempt since you were behaving gloomy.”

“Oh now I’m gloomy.”

Maybe he shouldn’t have said anything at all.
