By the way, more Sesshy arguing with himself this chapter.

Mine

Nezumi sat on the bed, her ankle throbbing slightly. She could hear Sesshomaru talking outside the room, and her eyes widened. "Is he talking to himself?"

Sesshomaru suddenly burst into the room, his eyes almost completely red.

"Sesshomaru?"

He glared at her and she froze.

Take her!

Sesshomaru recoiled, slamming his back into the wall.

"No!" He growled.

Why not? You want her, do you not?

"That is beside the point! I will not mate a human!"

But you'll care for one, no?

"Thats...different." Sesshomaru said.

Different how? It is not different and you know it.

"I said no!" He barked, causing Nezumi to jump.

Poor Nezumi was terrified, and horribly confused. Why was he talking to himself? And was he talking about her? "Sesshomaru...?" She called hesitantly.

If you won't I will.

"You wouldn't dare." Sesshomaru growled.

I will and you know it.

"How do you know she even wants it?" He now asked.

Does it matter?

"I will not mate someone who will not have me."

So they were talking about her. Nezumi watched as Sesshomaru's eyes went from gold to red, flickering back and forth. Sesshomaru went from talking to making snarls and growls. He had his hands on the walls, his claws out as if holding himself against it. He kept looking at her, and then looking away.

Sesshomaru noticed how pale Nezumi was getting, and the way she trembled ever-so slightly.

"You are frightening her." He said.

So? You don't care about the human, remember?

Sesshomaru let out a loud snarl, causing Nezumi to jump. "Do not mock me!"

I'm not mocking you. Only stating a fact.

"It is a fact not worth stating."

Ooh, touchy are we? Do we really care for the human?

"Shut up."

You are. The big bad Sesshomaru loves a human.

"I am not in love with her." Seeshomaru snapped.

You're pretty defensive for someone not in love.

Sesshomaru stayed quiet, his eyes flickering from red to gold.

Let me take her.

"No. If anyone is to do it, let me."

No! You won't! I know you. Let me.

"I will."

You are a terrible liar Sesshomaru.

With that Sesshomaru's demon began forcing his control on Sesshomaru. He fought it, not wanting to give control of his body but his demon was proving to be the stronger of the two. Before completely losing control, Sesshoumaru muttered, "I'm sorry."

Nezumi watched as Sesshomaru's eyes went completely blood red. He looked down at her and grinned, showing his sharp fangs. Her fear escalated and her heart began to beat faster.

"Do not be afraid." His voice sounded odd, like a mix between Sesshomaru's and something else. "I will not hurt you. He will not let me." He added the last part with a snort.

"What do you want from me?" Nezumi now asked, her voice quiet and shaky.

He laughed, walking over to her and climbing over her. His silver hair fell like a curtain around them as he leaned close to her. "You. I just want you."

She blushed deeply. "W...why?"

"Why?" He bent down to sniff at her neck before licking it. "Because I can."

"B...but I'm human. Why would you want a...a human?"

He looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Have you truly not noticed?"

When all Nezumi could do was give a slight shake of her head he sighed. "The man is in love with you."

Nezumi froze, her eyes widening. "No...he couldn't be."

"Oh, but he is." He grinned. "He refuses to believe it as well. But why else would he keep a human such as yourself around?"

"B...but..." Nezumi frowned, her thoughts scrambling around in her brain, trying to make sense of this. Sesshomaru couldn't be in love with her. He hated her, right?

"It's not rocket science girl." He said.

Nezumi frowned up at the man over her. "I didn't say it was rocket science."

"Your acting like it." He shook his head, grinning again. "You are distracting me girl."

Nezumi opened her mouth to talk, but was quickly interrupted by his lips on hers. She gasped sharply, but that only caused him to deepen the kiss.

Nezumi at first tried to pull away, to break the kiss, but he cupped her cheek in his hand, preventing her from moving. Nezumi slowly began to grow warm, her body melting against his hold. When he did finally pull away, Nezumi drew in a ragged breath, closing her eyes to avoid his.

She didn't have very long to catch her breath as he leaned down to kiss her again. She gave a soft squeak when she felt his tooth tug on her bottom lip, her eyes flying open to stare at him. He looked back at her, breaking the kiss and brushing his lips down her throat, to the junction between that and her shoulder.

"You are mine." He murmured, nipping at it.

Nezumi struggled to breathe as his other hand went to her waist, pulling her up into a sitting position. He tugged her so that she was sitting in his lap, her body pressed tightly against his. He kissed her again, the hand on her cheek going to cradle the back of her head. His other hand slid down to her hip. He smirked when he felt her arms hesitantly wrap around his neck, pressing her closer.

Nezumi gasped when she felt his mouth on her neck, his teeth gently grazing the skin.

"Wha...what are you doing?" She stammered when he pushed her back onto the bed.

"What I started to do before you distracted me."

"Ahh!" Nezumi screamed when he sank his teeth into her neck. Tears filled her eyes and she bit her lip to keep from screaming even more. He pulled his teeth out of her after a moment and gently licked the spot he'd marked her.

"Why...why did you do that? I thought you already marked me." She whimpered.

He turned to look at her and she could see his eyes were red. He pressed himself against her and kissed her deeply.

Nezumi was terribly confused. She didn't know what was going on. Her body felt hot and tingly, and she didn't understand why Sesshomaru kept kissing her. She pulled away from him, drawing in a ragged breath. "S...Sesshomaru...why do you keep doing this?"

"Mine." He growled. His hand slid down her hip and then to the back of her knee, pulling her leg around his waist. She gasped when he did the same with her other leg, pressing himself against her.

Nezumi let out a soft gasp when he licked the spot he'd marked her, pressing tighter against her. He growled softly, his teeth grazing the still sensitive spot, causing Nezumi to shiver.

"Sesshomaru?" She said softly.

He looked at her, his eyes narrowed. "I am frightening you."

"N...no."

"You're lying."

"I'm not."

He studied her for a moment, causing her to blush and look away.

"Do you know what I did to you just now?" He asked, running his tongue across her mark.

"You marked me?"

He snorted, pulling away to look her in the eye. "I mated you."

"You...what?" Nezumi's eyes grew wide. "B...but I thought in order to mate with someone you have to..." She trailed off when he smirked. "What?"

"What do you think I've been trying to do?"

Nezumi froze, staring up at him. "W...why do you want to...with...with me?"

He snorted again, leaning down so that their lips barely touched. "I told you girl, Sesshomaru is in love with you. I am only doing what he is afraid to."

She opened her mouth to talk but he quickly covered it with his, cutting her off.

"Enough talking." He murmured.
