"Sit," She told both demon and Miko.
Sesshomaru sat down cross-legged with boredom on his face like always. Kagome sat down a foot away cross-legged. His mother rose an eyebrow "Miko, closer, knees touching."
Kagome looked at him; he gave her no relief to her worry. Kagome scooted closer and tucked her skirt in and looked at their touching knees.
"Miko, I am confused by you, in battle, you show no fear to him yet you seem uneasy now."
She looked up at her, and his mother studied her face "Tell me, do you fear him because he could kill you before you blink and power rolls off him, or do you simply fear him because he is a beautiful male?"
Kagome laughed uneasily then looked at him, so unmoving, "He makes me nervous; in battle I'm not close to him."
"And his power?"
"I can fill it, the closer I am, the heavier it is, it pushing against mine" His mother smiled,
"And" His mother pressed on,
Kagome looked at her knees again "I don't fear him, I'm just uneasy, he's untouchable" She said,
"Oh?" His mother question,
"It's like my mother's vase, beautiful and you want to touch it, but you know you better not, your not supposed to" She admitted with a small blush, Kagome was not a dumb girl, Sesshomaru was all male and beautiful.
His mother understood her, "See, she finds you attractive Sesshomaru."
He didn't seem to care if he did; he didn't show it. Truth be told he was only slightly surprised by her submission.
"Sesshomaru, place your hand out as if your telling her to halt."
He sighed and did as he was told,
"Miko, you next."
She did though she did the wrong hand; his mother slapped it when her fan "Ouch."
"Other hand Miko!"
Kagome quickly placed her hand up, "Touch him."
Kagome looked at her, then him than his hand. Slowly she moved her hand forward until her tiny palm laid flat against his own. His hand was warm, odd for someone who was so cold, and those hands, soft for someone who had killed many with a swing of a sword, after, all it was only a hand.
"It's a start," His mother said,
His aura rose and swirled around his hand, and her Miko power rose,
"Sesshomaru, slow, Miko do not bite it."
"Bite it?" Just as she said it, she felt the spark of her power snap at his and his snapped back at her; she moved her hand with a gasp.
She sighed, "Are you sure this will work, me being Miko and him being demon?"
His mother smiled and waved her fan "Why my dear Miko, that is exactly why it will work"
Kagome clearly did not understand,
"The scandal of it all will draw them in."
"Scandal?" Kagome pressed,
"A demon and Miko pair, lovers, it is scandal, two things that were not meant to mix" His mother spoke walking around them "A male demon lives to dominate his female, dominating a Miko would be far more challenging, and my dear Miko Inu demons are far worst."
His mother looked thoughtful for a moment "You are a challenge, I see why now many males fight for you."
"Hu?"
"The wolf, the half-breed, and others, they want what they are not supposed to have, much like your mother's vase."
His mother tapped the fan against her chin "It's forbidden a Miko and a demon, that's what makes it so, erotic."
"But Inuyasha and Kikyo are Miko and demon?"
His mother made a flat face "Half demon and shes a fake" She stated simply "Now touch again."
Kagome raised her hand as he did he, his mother watched, "You have to let his aura wrap around you, accept him."
Their hands touched, and slowly his power rose and swirled,
"Slow Sesshomaru, like you want to pet her not hurt her."
He didn't like the term but understood. He willed it and controlled it, but her power was rising too,
"Hold back Miko, let him come to you."
Kagome took a deep breath and held back and watched as his rise to wrap around her hand,
"Now rise to meet him, slowly, try to push through him, not at him."
Kagome was not sure if she could, her power rose, and she closed her eyes, he watched her, she tried to calm, but as his power touched her she stalls and the power bit, his hand fell "It is no use" He stood "Find the wolf."
"No" His mother demanded "Kagome go back to your friends, and think about what I said"
She stood, "Hia!"
She quickly walked off. His mother looked at him, "She needs to trust you, of course, if you had not tried to kill her."
"You speak of things she does not understand."
"She does, she is capable."
He looked up to the night sky "Miko's an erotic, are those two things not against each other?"
"Only if you cant dominate her will they not be"
He looks at his mother "I know not what game you play at mother, but I am here for the jewel and Naraku nothing more."
"I have no agenda; you think I wish to see you mated to a human?"
He didn't fully trust her words.
