            Kagome looked around at the surrounding environment and wrinkled her nose.

            It was dirty, dark, dank, and disgusting.

            She told Sesshomaru as much.

            “It is a dungeon, mate. It looks as it is supposed to.”

            Kagome huffed. “But, Sesshomaru, just because it’s a dungeon doesn’t mean it has to be this gross. I mean, there are entrails everywhere, and bones, and blood, and feces. It’s a terrible place.”

            Sesshomaru looked down at his miko. “Mate, concentrate on the task at hand.”

            Kagome waved his words away. “How can I concentrate? We should change the décor. The atmosphere should be lighter. And we should add some paintings and get the floors and walls cleaned.”

            “Mate,” Sesshomaru said sharply.

            Any other time, he would listen to what she was saying with only slight exasperation, but there was a job to be done, and he did not want to put it off just because she thought the dungeon was too dungeon-like.

            Kagome rolled her eyes. “Yes, yes. We have to get to questioning the man who tried to assassinate me,” she said flippantly.

            “You take this too lightly,” Sesshomaru accused.

            Kagome looked up at her mate with an indulgent smile. “Honestly, Sesshomaru, I could care less about what he has to say. He tried to kill me, the why doesn’t matter that much. People try to kill me all the time. I think you’re making too big a deal of this. The décor is much more important.”

            A muscle in Sesshomaru’s jaw twitched.

…

I feel bad for him. Kagome is so unconcerned and he takes her safety very seriously.
