Venom, seduction and lies

He woke with a start, a cry full of unsuppressed, white hot rage shattering the scorching air around him, startling the resting woman. Feeling the restrains on his limbs, Sesshomaru thrashed about, finding that his resistance was rather futile. Raising his golden eyes, he found himself to be in a bed chamber, chained far enough not to reach the bed and yet having enough space to move should he need to. The woman sat up on the bed, her weapon clearly making her earlier pose uncomfortable, making her, begrudgingly, alter her position.

"I see that you awoke. I didn't expect you to."

"Onna, what have you done to this Sesshomaru?"

Watching the muscles concealed by alabaster skin move smoothly with each of his movements, the demon's clothes torn enough for his chest and arms to be seen, she chose to dismiss the unfamiliar word that was, most likely, some vile insult in his tongue.

"Unfortunately, it did not work, for you are still alive."

"Hm. I can only assume you are referring to becoming familiar with my person."

Flushing hotly, Kagome pounced, Sesshomaru noting that her movements were unusually sleek for a human as he found a dagger pressed to the pulsing vein on his throat.

Kagome hissed lowly, her voice full of venom: "Do not remind me. I would never lay hands upon your person willingly."

"Is that so? It appeared different."

"Did the poison affect your mind or your intelligence was compromised otherwise?" rocking back on her heals to retreat within his reach, she sheathed her weapon. "You must never trust appearances. More so here."

Before leaving the chamber, Kagome dared to face him once more, her face not betraying her emotion but scent filled with sadness and regret.

"You mustn't blame yourself, Lord of the West. It is quite simple; I am not the right woman. The one you seek is no longer here."
