Etiquette

Chapter Two Hundred Twenty-Three - Etiquette

Kagome removed her hands from his shoulders and fought to keep balance. As she succeeded, she placed them on her hips.

"I'm not a child. You don't need to carry me."

"When you prove your ability to walk, I shall indulge you the privilege. But for now, you shall be carried."

"Look, I don't mean to rude but if I can be frank-"

"But of course." He smirked down at her. "You should not hesitate now when it etiquette never halted your words in the past."

She glared. "Sarcasm doesn't suit you."

His smile grew. "I always speak the truth."

Author's Note: Entered into Dokuga_Contest Weekly Perfection: Prompt - Frank. Placed in First. (Woot!)

Totally forgot to upload these despite the fact that I already had them written. I'm sorry. _"

Well, in way of apology I'll give you the chapters I had written up to 230. That's about where I want to be anyway, as my goal for this story is to move on to the next main part by Christmas. Even if I just make it to the transition I'll be happy, but that's gonna take me AT LEAST another 30 chapters (after this update), though probably closer to 50. So my work's cut out for me.

The other apology I have is some artwork for you to check out if you'd like. Though I'll post the directions to get to them at the end so people are more likely to actually check them out. :P
