[Before Kagome even finishes speaking Konoha is shaking her head with a wry smile. She’d thought as much, but... it’s so frustrating that of all the things he’d said about his half demon brother, the one positive thing was what he’d sworn her to secrecy on. And as much as she hated not being able to say so... she also owed Sesshomaru more than to flagrantly break a promise she’d made to him.

Even if it might smooth things over with Inuyasha a little.]

I believe what I see for myself. Inuyasha helped me out when he didn’t have to, so I know he’s a good person. ... Lord Sesshomaru was right about the rash and temperamental part though, I have to say.

[All she can do is laugh a bit helplessly, scratch behind her ear.]

I thought I was being pretty clear, but... I don’t know. He said I might be a spy, or inadvertently give away his secrets to Lord Sesshomaru, and all kinds of nonsense...

[and Konoha is pretty sure she’s way too dumb to pull off being a spy... but,]

At least he doesn’t think we’re having an affair anymore... I’m married, I can’t have that kind of talk going around!
