[OPEN] Who let the dogs out? Woof.

[taiyoukai]

Characters: Sesshomaru, his bad temper, his worse manners and YOU!
Setting: Room 4-14, Meadow floor and around the Tower.
Format: Action, but I'll match you.
Summary: Having had a few days to adapt - for some values of the word adapt (read: stop feeling homicidal about everything ever), Sesshomaru decides it's time to explore a little and test a few theories.
Warnings: Testy inu daiyoukai with a tendency to melt things that annoy him with his poison claws. Also fluffy, angry dog in the meadow floor.

[Room 4-14]

[He hadn't much noticed the two boxes or the wreath in his trunk, when he first arrived, much more in a hurry to get out of that ridiculous suit - which was thankfully already melted and done for - and to seek out some answers, but today Sesshomaru takes the time to study them, before heading out to inspect the tower more in detail. He'd worked out most of his rage at the monsters in that perpetual night floor, but he hadn't come out with many answers over all.

So now there he is, sitting on his assigned bed - tch - arching an eyebrow at a box of his favorite flavor of pocky and a box, of all things, of dog treats. Sesshomaru did not find the joke very funny at all. It hadn't been funny when Kagome gave him them, and it wasn't funny now.

There's also a dried flower wreath on the bed, but he's not bothering to look or touch or acknowledge it, because something inside hurts a little too much when he tries to think about it.]

[Meadow floor]

[After some cursory exploration of the Tower, he decided this was the best floor on which to attempt this, and thus walked away from the staircase resolutely. A good distance away, he closed his eyes for a moment, before he opened them and began to gather his youki to transform back into his true form.]

[He succeeds, and he certainly doesn't look much like a puppy, but the size alone is infuriating. Barely eight, nine feet at the most, and certainly much smaller than he should be.

How annoying.]

[Anywhere else]

[After he's done with the meadow floor, somewhat disgusted by such a lackluster transformation and deeply infuriated by anyone who'd dare do such a thing to him, Sesshomaru stalks away towards the staircase, intent on exploring the tower more thoroughly this time.]

Comments

[taiyoukai]

Tch.

[Deja vu.]

We were allies against a common foe.

[And she married his brother, but that's not important.]

[tohko_amano]

I see..what foe were you fighting against?

[taiyoukai]

It is of no consequence, he has been dealt with.

[Thoroughly. Wee, carnage!]

[tohko_amano]

Well, while it's good that you defeated him, I'd still like to know his name, if he has one.

[taiyoukai]

Why?

[Ur weird, grrrrl.]

[tohko_amano]

[Don't worry. That's how most of everyone reacts to Tohko.]

Because I'm curious. Besides, if a friend of yours comes here and mentions him, I can make the connection between the two, and if he himself comes here, then I'll know to avoid him. But..it's mainly because I'm curious.

[taiyoukai]

His name does not deserve to be remembered.

[Plus if anyone Sesshomaru knows comes along, he'll let them know. And if Naraku himself appears, he'll kill him again. Repeatedly. Forever. 8D]

[tohko_amano]

But..if you forget his name, you only make it easier for him to be revived or for people who share his ideas and strength to rise up. I know I'm not from your universe, but I'd still like to know.

[That's only if he can find Naraku..and Tohko already told him that death wasn't permanent here! Any attempts at killing him would just be futile here!~]

[taiyoukai]

[You say futile, Sesshomaru only hears "new favorite pastime".]

It would be very unwise for anyone to try and do the same he did.

[That is the most unpleasant smile in the history of unpleasantness ever.]

Curiosity is not a virtue.

[Says the most curious daiyoukai in the world.]

[tohko_amano]

[Sesshy..><;]

I'm not saying that it would be smart..but there may be people who still want to do what he did.

[And have a much nicer looking smile, Sesshomaru. Tohko has dealt with Sephiroth and Wilhelm before. She can cope with you too.]

I admit, it's not one of the seven virtues, but it's still a good thing to have. After all, it's how you learn and understand new things and people.

[taiyoukai]

Let them.

[He'll deal with them. Gladly.]

Hn.

[tohko_amano]

Why? Wouldn't it be better to give people information and help them deal with whoever may try to rise in your foe's place? Or do you enjoy fighting people?

[taiyoukai]

He is no threat while I am here, so you need not concern yourself about it.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed and scratched her head at that.]

Maybe..but people can vanish from this Tower, and if he comes by while you're not here, who will be able to warn others about him and help fight against him if he pulls something?

[taiyoukai]

Irrelevant.

[Which means you're making sense but he's not gonna admit it because that'd mean accepting he's wrong. So there.]

[tohko_amano]

How is that irrelevant? That seems like something important to me.

[taiyoukai]

And what you consider important or not is of no concern to me.

[tohko_amano]

Maybe not, but if I understand why you think it's irrelevant, then I might be able to see why I shouldn't worry.

[taiyoukai]

What other reason do you need beyond being told such?

[In other words: BECAUSE I SAID SO, THERE.]

[tohko_amano]

Because just because you say it's irrelevant doesn't mean that it actually is, so I'd like to hear why and get the reasons behind it.

[taiyoukai]

Hn.

[Unimpressed by your tantrum, sorry.]

[tohko_amano]

[She's not having a tantrum, Sesshy. She's just trying to explain herself.]

Yes?

[taiyoukai]

[Taaaaaaaaantruuuuuuuuuuuum.]

I refuse to continue such a ridiculous line of conversation.

[Like this, see?]

[tohko_amano]

[Sesshy..I think you're the one having the tantrum.]

And how is this conversation ridiculous?

[taiyoukai]

What is a book girl?

[Sorry, did you want us to have a different conversation? Because we're gonna have a different conversation now. And too bad if you don't agree.]
