Chapter 44: A Bone to Pick
Even after Miroku left, Sesshoume radiated more irritation than usual, so after dinner, Kagomaru led her onto the porch to cautiously ask, “What’s wrong?”

The bitterness in her tone took him aback, and the injustice of her accusation stung. “Be fair, Sesshoume-sama,” Kagomaru whispered. “You know my sense of smell is nothing compared to an inuyoukai’s.”
“That man touched me!”
“I stopped him.”
“You stopped me,” she snarled. “And offered my offender hospitality.”
Kagomaru bowed his head. At least she cares enough to be angry.
