Yellow Rose: Jealousy

Sesshomaru was pleased with what he had accomplished. The rift between his miko and Inuyasha was wider than he expected; whatever feelings held them together, their trust was a fragile, delicate web.

His coming had been the coming of a knife, a sword, sweeping through that web, dispersing it; perhaps forever.

At the same time, he could not help but feel...irritated. The miko – she would rather have him than no one; there was more insult than compliment in that.

She still would have preferred Inuyasha.

Considering his brother's recent display of stupidity, he found himself more aggravated than he might have been. He would make her want him. There was power at his disposal – power in the bond between them.

If she had been youkai, anything he tried would have been like a faint caress; a reminder of his distant presence. If she had been youkai, the barrier of her own power would have set limits on how far his will could breach her intentions...but she was human.

He could afford to be more subtle than he had been the first time; he had no need to command her. She was already his.

He would send her...sensation.


A/N: Yes...yes he will. Lemony bits coming up...
