"All right," he agreed first, then shot Zabuza a mad glare.

He'd understood Zabuza's meaning with his last comment well enough, but though he himself was aware of just how feminine his traveling partner could act, getting told so by someone he'd just met did not sit well. He wouldn't have cared if someone had said it to Fai's face - that idiot probably liked the attention anyway - but when it was directed his way, he definitely cared. It was like associating him with that perky idiot. Something like that was... it just didn't... for an warrior to have to...!!

Kurogane couldn't even find the words to express just how annoyed that association made him, so he instead took to growling low like a dog while keeping his red glare on Zabuza.
