Sho dialed her number once more, and the voicemail answered again. “Hey, Inu-guy. What’s the number to the main house?”
“What?” Inuyasha peeked from over his book. “Will you stop interrupting me trying to ignore you?”
“If I can get her to answer, yes.” Sho scrolled through his phone’s history log. “I haven’t heard from my mother in hours.”
“Probably because she’s trying to break you off from her teet. Gawd! Just leave her alone already before you drive her away like your hundreds of exes.”
“You know you make it real challenging to like you, and I’ve only got one ex, thanks. She was like a fresh breeze of winter frost…the kind you buy in a cheap spray can at the store. I guess you could say I was smitten. Then randomly out of the blue it was over. Done.”
Inuyasha leaned forward. “Don’t you just hate it when the one who breaks your heart…is the only one who can fix it?”
“I wouldn’t say all of that. Girl just had some serious issues. Bulbs were missing more so than loose.”
“I bet my ex was bat shit crazier.”
Sho crossed his arms. “My ex had someone vandalize my house with red graffiti and a broken window.”
“And my ex decided last month that she was madly in love with your dad.”
Silence befell the two of them until Sho coughed, “So about that number?”
“You’re an asshole,” Inuyasha bit.
“And you make things hella awkward.”

Earlier, in the guest's bedroom back at the main estate a woman tapped her foot in fury. “If that phone rings one more time…?”
“Calm down,” Gurinman shushed her. “It can’t be helped. Her son must be worried.”
“And you're obviously mistaking me for someone who cares.” She clenched the stack of files in her arms. “If I hear that stupid sandwich song again I promise that heads will roll.” Chestnut eyes drifted to the unconscious woman in bed. “Of all the billions of people in the world this one was lucky enough to be his baby momma. Truly pathetic. First thing she does when she gets here is assault my Lord verbally and physically, then she entices the Lady in a game of cat and mouse gone wrong, and finally faints when some guard reports in from his post. It’s literally been one mess after another. And you want me to be her coach for the ceremony? You’ve clearly lost your mind.”
“I ask you this as a favor. No one can prepare her as well as you can.”
“Well according to my sources, the woman’s moronic. How do you believe in just about anything except for demons? A bit ironic don’t you think. I mean, considering at her situation, how is that even possible? Does the son even know he’s part demon? Surely, he’s had to have noticed something strange about himself by now?”
“All valid questions,” Gurinman nodded, “which is why I have never doubted you as my assistant. I’m looking into those matters now. I just need you to play your part. I know you two didn’t exactly ‘click’ over the phone but Ms. Higurashi is going to need you whether either of you like it or not.”
“You’re only saying that because we’re both human.”
“Is that going to be a problem?” a deep voice rumbled behind her.
She spun around. “Lord Sesshomaru!”
He tilted his head, “Rin, can you do it?”
“Is the Pope Catholic? Just leave it to me.”
