            “Maybe you’ll find a girl tonight, Sesshomaru. You never know.”

            Sesshomaru sneered as his father’s words came back to him. Sesshomaru knew for a fact that he would never find a woman, because all women were vapid, insipid, greedy creatures. They were only created to annoy him.

            Even now, while he was standing in the back of the ballroom near the refreshments’ table, they swarmed him and made it hard to breath. But he had a method to deal with them.

            He ignored the women who stared at him. He glared at stupid women who approached him. And suicidal women who stayed after he glared would receive a growl. Afterwards, the whole cycle would start again.

            It was tiresome, but effective.

            “Excuse me,” a voice said, interrupting his thoughts.

            He stared into the face of a beautiful woman with big blue eyes, wearing a scarlet dress. He glared at her.

            “Sir,” she said.

            He growled.

            An indignant expression crossed her face. “What’s your problem? I was only wondering if you could move out of the way so I could get a drink. Jerk.”

            She shot a glare at him and huffed, before disappearing with a flash of her scarlet dress.

            Sesshomaru stared after her, bemused.

            When all the guests had left, Sesshomaru was approached by his father.

            “Another disappointing night, son?” Toga asked out of habit, expecting a scoff as his answer.

            “No, father. The night was… fairly fruitful.”

            Sesshomaru walked away, leaving his father to gape after him.

I’ll leave you to imagine what happened to make the night “fairly fruitful.”
