Chapter twelve
Seduction?
Reworked
"We will talk in this one's study," Sesshoumaru decided and started walking, ignoring his grandsire's glare.
Kagome nodded then followed him. It seemed she couldn't walk in silence. "It's a beautiful castle, Inuyasha said it's your mother's," she said gaping at the walls and the decorations.
"Hn."
They entered his study, and he graciously sat down on a pillow next to his desk, waiting for her reaction.
"Wow, so many scrolls and books! And so rare! God those are priceless!" the miko exclaimed from behind his back. When did she run toward the shelves? Wasn't she watching him?
"Miko," he intoned and she jumped.
"Oh, I apologize it's just that I love books," she smiled and approached him, her eyes still longing toward the books. He motioned toward a pillow, and she sat down still looking around. Sesshoumaru turned his head, his hair flowed over his shoulder. With a refined move of his hand, he tossed the hair aside, treading his claws through it.
The sun was setting, and its last rays that peaked through the window twinkled on his tresses. He looked to see her reaction at this, only to find her looking at the katanas on the wall. He grit his teeth not understanding why he was so annoyed that she was more interested in books than him. She paid more attention to inanimate objects even though he stood in front of her, perfect as he was.
"Wench," he snapped and she jumped again, a pink hue colouring her cheeks.
"Sorry," she mumbled wringing her hands. "I kept thinking how well this study depicts your personality. A classic warrior style," she smiled at him and his pride swelled.
"Is something wrong with Rin?" he finally asked and she bit her lower lip.
"Not wrong per se... she's in love."
