            Kagome threaded her needle carefully, making sure she tied the knot. She heard a huff, and stiffened.

            “Stitches are unnecessary.”

            Kagome gritted her teeth and looked up at her boyfriend. “How would you know?”

            He gave her a blank look.

            Kagome growled. “Deal with it, Sesshomaru!”

            “The wound will heal by morning.”

            Kagome jabbed his wound with the needle, causing him to wince. “See! It needs stitches.”

            Sesshomaru’s eyebrow twitched slightly, unsure how stabbing his gash had proved her point.

            “Perhaps wrapping it would be better,” he suggested, attempting to compromise with the stubborn miko in front of him.

            Kagome sighed. “No. That won’t be as good. Besides, I need to practice my stitching for my final coming up next week.”

            Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed. “Practice?”

            Kagome nodded, unfazed by his cool tone. “Yeah. We’re having a practical exam, and I’ve never done stitches, so I need to try it out at least once before test day.”

            Sesshomaru stared at the woman kneeling in front of him in disbelief. “This is your first time?”

            Kagome looked up at him. “You aren’t worried are you? You’re a daiyoukai; it shouldn’t hurt too much if I mess up.”

            “I was under the impression you were attempting to help.”

            Kagome rolled her eyes. “I am helping you. Besides, you said it’d be better by morning. Even if I make it worse, healing will only be delayed by a few hours,” she said, nonchalantly.

            “Your attitude is entirely too flippant.”

            “Hush! I need to concentrate.”

She’s so bad.
