The sound of their breathing was heavy the air was thickening with the scent of arousal.

"I ask again, who are you?"

Once again red clashed with silver. She leaned down and on a breathy whisper said, "Your nightmare come to life, your kryptonite. (a/n – weakness people) With that, she disappeared, leaving a lingering scent of vanilla and arousal. He let out a howl of rage and desperation. From her perch on the decaying pear tree, she shuddered.

"Maybe I made a mistake." She mumbled. Sesshomaru's head shot up and stared at her with a blank face.

"Oh Shit, shit, shit!" She leaped from her perch onto her Kelpie's back and shouted, "Move Damn it!"

"What's the magic word?"

"Move your ass or I'll feed you to the demon dog over there."

"Yes, your royal highness because I can't dump YOU on your ass and leave you for him to eat." He said, rolling his eyes.

"Will you please just move, we can argue about this when we have a GOD DAMN SECOND!" She yelled looking at Sesshomaru who was about 2 feet away.

"Testy, testy."

The Kelpie sprung into motion, with two more lunges at the air, the rider and Kelpie disappeared, scent an all.

Sesshomaru dropped to the ground after jumping at them and let an enraged howl rip from his throat.

What is wrong with me? He thought to himself.

Why do I have this huge ache in my chest every time she disappears. I must find her.

Near dawn, in a hot spring, a heated argument goes on between the Kelpie and his 'mistress.'

"You know he's going to find us, and by us, I mean you."

Her face took on a pained expression.

"Just me…gee, Deaf, love how much you care for me." (a/n – Deaf is the Kelpies name)

"So, I'd like to know how this is all my fault. I mean, what the hell did I do? I was only evading being caught, and showing him how easy it was for a girl to pin him down."

"You are no mere girl, valkriye, and please, you can't tell me you could not feel and smell his arousal, I mean from where I was standing I could smell his stench."

Her face was red as a rose and she had her eyes down cast as she shook her head mutely.

"That's what I thought , but what is wrong?"

Silence was her answer as her blush deepened, her eyes still down cast.

His eyes widened. "You've never been with a male before have you?"

"No." she whispered.

He looked at her eyes and saw embarrassment and strangely burning intensity.

"And you want the demon lord, oh god, this is gonna be a long day."
