Chapter 5-Good News
It had been a week since Ursa had proven she was useful for something. She had reported to him and confirmed that Kagome had drank the tea. Once those words had left her lips he couldn't contain the joy he felt bloom in his heart. He had even graced Ursa with a true smile. That thing was gone and now Kagome wouldn't have to carry Iroh's dirty seed. Everything was working out perfectly. Now all he had to do was make his next move.
It was time to pay his obsession a visit.
Within minutes he was being announced by Kagome's hand maid. Seconds later he found himself drinking in the sight of her. She was dressed in a sleeveless form fitting shirt and loose pants that stopped just below her knees. It was disappointing that she wasn't revealing much skin but it didn't matter. All that mattered was seeing her.
"Hello Prince Ozai."She greeted with a smile. "Please excuse the lack of my formal attire. I hadn't been expecting anyone today."
"It's fine."Came his quick reply. "How have you been feeling?"
"I've been feeling much better after receiving some very good news earlier." She said with twinkling eyes.
With a raised brow he asked, "Would you like to share the news with me?"
"Of course!"She exclaimed. "Iroh sent a letter and he is on his way back home to us. Isn't the wonderful?"
It was very hard to keep his anger showing on his face. Why would his brother decide to return home now? Her good news had ruined his good mood but he wouldn't let her know that. So instead of yelling like he wanted to he said, "That is wonderful news. I must make sure father knows so a celebration can be prepared."
He needed to get away from her so he could let out his anger. With ease he schooled his features to look apologetic. "I apologize for ending my visit so soon."
She only smiled. "I understand."
He nodded his head and then left without another word.
