Sango looked at Kagome with a mixture of absurdity and horror.

"Is it?" Kagome prompted. "Has he done anything to show otherwise? You hear about it all the time in my time. Men like that tend to...overcompensate."

"But houshi-sama?" Sango still looked aghast. "Preferring men?"

"Sure, he gropes you." Kagome shrugged. "But even from all he says and does, he doesn't seem to be trying that hard. The girls who would bear his child, he found some reason not to take them up on it."

Sango looked down. It was completely impossible. Still...

"Kagome-chan? You think?"
