Sesshomaru's Beast
FD: any author notes (A/N) are the voices in my head. basically w/e they think to interject into the stories, that wouldn't quite fit or background info, or commentary or just something that would be funny if a character said it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, the only things I own are the plot and my OC's.
That Stupid Icy Demeanor
Weeks later…
It was night and everyone was asleep save for two; Lord Sesshomaru and Izumi. Izumi was lost in her thoughts about Lord Sesshomaru. 'He's so poised in whatever he does. So handsome and regal looking and his eyes….' She was taken out of her thoughts when she heard Sesshomaru growl. She quickly sniffed, but couldn't catch the scent of any other being.
"What's out there Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Nothing."
"Then why the growl?"
"You were staring at this Sesshomaru."
"Oh? Sorry I guess I was lost in my thoughts."
"Hn."
Sighing, Izumi laid down facing away from Sesshomaru. (A/N: on purpose of course.) 'He's been grumpy like that for days. I wonder if it's because there's been no sign or word of Naraku. I hope it's not me. I don't know what I'd do if he's mad at me. I don't want him mad at me.' With that last thought her cheeks heated up with a blush. Thankfully she was turned away from Sesshomaru. She then shook herself out of her stupor, closed her eyes and started to fall asleep.
*FD*
Sesshomaru watched as she laid down with her back to him. 'Hm, I wonder what she was thinking about.'
Bet she was thinking about us.
'Hn.'
Probably wasn't anything good. You've been grumpy.
'There's been no sign of Naraku.'
Enough about him. What are you going to do about Izumi?
'Nothing, she's only here for Rin.'
Keep telling yourself that.
'What could you possibly mean?'
You like her. You want her to be staying because of you. (A/N: Miss Congeniality anyone? that's exactly what we thought when writing that part.)
"No. Never! I'll never mate with a half-breed," he growled out loud.
Thankfully he was too busy with his argument with his beast to realize that Izumi heard him.
She's strong.
'Doesn't matter. It will not happen and I shall make sure of that.'
Grrr.
The argument finally ended and Sesshomaru had a plan to make sure that he and Izumi will never become mates. Little did he know that he would end up hurting more than Izumi. (A/N: the makings of tears.)
*FD*
Izumi had to stifle her gasp at what he said. 'Half-breed? That's the first time he's called me that. I thought he was okay with me.' With these thoughts she fell asleep. Over the next couple of days everything was different, with the exception of Rin. Rin still loved playing and talking with Izumi. It made Izumi happy, but she couldn't help feeling upset. Lord Sesshomaru had been extremely cold to her since that night. 'What changed on that night? Why all of a sudden?' She was taken out of her thoughts by Sesshomaru.
"Half-demon, we'll settle here tonight. You are in charge of watching Rin, I have business elsewhere. Jaken make a fire." After saying this, Sesshomaru headed north.
Izumi watched him go with a heavy heart. 'That stupid icy demeanor. I can't take this anymore. Tonight, before he comes back I'll leave. Oh, but Rin? I'm sure she'll be fine, she was fine before I came.'
*FD*
Sesshomaru quickly fled camp. He needed to stay way. For some reason it hurt to see the pain in her eye. It hurt even more knowing that he was the cause. (A/N: and here we get into that stupid male pride. ugh.)
'It's how it's supposed to be.'
Is it?
'It's for the best.'
No it's not. Where are you going to find a full demoness tht would willingly take care of a human girl?
'I'll find one.'
Uh-huh.
Sesshomaru stopped at a lake and looked towards the sky. 'It's almost the full moon. Maybe I'll see how well she fights with a sword.'
And that's supposed to determine whether she'll be your mate or not? Do you have feelings for her or not?
'No, maybe. Me have feelings? I don't know. Leave me be.'
He sat down at the base of a tree and decided that he would head back when morning came.
*FD*
Izumi waited until Rin was asleep then she quickly got up, walked over to Rin and kissed her on the forehead. She then walked to Ah-Un, petted their heads and told them to watch her. They nuzzled her silently telling her not to leave. "I have to. I can't stay here with that cold-hearted demon." With that said she hid her scent and headed south, the opposite direction of Sesshomaru. She ran fast, trees passing her in a blur. All of a sudden she stopped when she smelled three humans, two demons and one half-demon. 'Hm the half-demon smells like it's a dog demon like me.' She quickly unmasks her scent and lands in front of a very surprised group.
