I will sell my soul for something pure and true, Someone like you
He watched her sleep and the urge to touch her was becoming far too great. He left the room and took to the gardens and to the moonlight.
Damn, why did it have to be her?
He finally let out a breath, a ragged one. He was fucking tired. He wanted her pupped; he wanted her marked, he wanted her. She had no idea, no clue.
He called it protection, but deep down he knew, it was fear.
Fear she would be afraid, fear she would run away, fear that she would never feel the same way. Fear of being like his father. Fear that he could fail at something.
It would kill him quietly.
"You are in great pain" Came of soft but steady voice.
He turned his head around the see the snake's mate.
"I can see it."
"You know now what you speak of" He turned away "Leave me."
"I have great abilities, but I must admit I missed it the first time."
She moved around him "You are sick."
"That is what they say" He started using her previous words in regards to this.
"Why do you suffer?" She asked coming to look at him "Is it because of what she is, like me?"
"No" He didn't know why he was talking to her.
"Why then do you subject yourself this pain and suffering?"
"To protect her."
She smiled "She does not fear you."
"She should," He said darkly his eyes narrowing a bit. Plus she didn't know she should fear what he was feeling; he was keeping it from her.
"You would not hurt her," The Miko tingled letting her know someone else was close but hidden. She had never told them of her powers.
"I would"
"You have very dark desires I seem them with hidden within your eyes."
"Get out of my head woman" He snapped with a slight growl,
"You fear you will hurt her, but maybe she would be the one to hurt you."
"The only way she could is if she left me which is why I refrain" He stated heated and getting highly annoyed.
"What if when she touched you and you burned?"
"Then I shall burn, it can not be worst than this pain I am in" He admitted it was clear she could see, why lie to her.
"What would you give to have her, this girl who is so pure and true like no other?"
He would be no better than Naraku had been. He would sell this tormented demonic soul which he calls a beast if it meant he could be with her without scaring her away.
She smiled and turned "That is all I wished to know" She saw through him, heard his inner walked away back into the hallway where she stopped for a mere moment and looked to her right.
She bowed her head at Kagome who was plastered against the wall, one hand on her turning tummy the other covering her mouth, afraid he would hear her breath and know that she had been there and heard it all.
