Sesshomaru wanted to deal with that issue before any of us came to find you.

Kagome frowned. "But you're here. Did they clear it up?"

"Ah, no. It was taking too long and I kinda...snuck out?"

Yukina raised her eyebrows at the impressive growl that the miko responded with.

"Shippo…" she murmured disapprovingly.
