A/N: A continuation of the last chapter.

Disclaimer: I've decided to aim higher. I'll steal the rights to InuYasha and FullMetal Alchemist.

Last Time: Sesshoumaru learns the horrors of human females.

Daiyoukai and the Female Gender

Chapter 18: Daiyoukai and Snub

It turned out those women were vicious during bleeding. In different ways but vicious all the same. When they felt wronged, they retaliated. And their grudges had a talent for not cooling. They both snubbed you for as long as they possibly could.

The taijiya found it amusing to inflict bodily harm.
"But my dear Sango!" The houshi's pastime was not amusing to her.
"No buts, Miroku!"
"But..."
"... You brought this upon yourself!" If the monk had larger bruises than usual, no one remarked on it.

In direct juxtaposition, the miko found subtle retribution best.
"Hey wench! This is horrible!"
"Oh... If you find it so bad, you don't have to eat it." It didn't seem like she would do anything at first. But the half-breed just kept plugging away.

"You're useless! How could you miss that?"
"Well sorry for trying to save your miserable butt!" She was definitely biding her time.

"Kikyo is so much better than you!"
"Well, I'm not Kikyo!"

Then it started. She began to ignore every word from his mouth. HE was served last every meal. Even after Ah-Un and Kirara. He would find himself face-first in the soil at random. Sometimes in muddy puddles. All week.

Sesshoumaru found it was best to stay on their good sides. (At least the miko's.) He hoped Rin would never get that bad.

236 words.

Sumi: I actually thought this was less words than this.

Aerin: It was fun though.

Sumi and Aerin: Thank you for reading though. We appreciate it.
