A/N: I know several of you have been wanting the chapters to be longer, however, in order to stay with my challenges I set for this story, it's not gonna happen. So far every 20th chapter is over 1,000 words, and eventually I may increase the frequency, but right now it will stay 200 words a chapter. I do update at LEAST 2 times a day, usually more. Sorry to those that want longer chapters, it just wasn't in the plan for this fic :-) Other than the 200 words a chapter, has anyone else figured out the other challenge I had set for this fic? ^_^
Chapter 52: One Step Closer
"The man on the phone, he is courting you?" Sesshoumaru ask, still not moving from the door.
"You listened in on my conversation?" Kagome demanded angrily. She should have known he would hear the phone call. It wasn't like she was trying to hide something, but damn, sometimes you just want a bit of privacy. When he didn't answer, she decided she would play his game. She took one step closer, now nearly touching him, "Excuse me, I am going to my room." If he wasn't going to answer her question, she wasn't going to answer his.
"Answer me, miko."
"Say it with me... Ka-go-me. My name is not miko."
"I know your name. Answer me."
"Why is that any of your business?" She crossed her arms, causing her to bump into his chest.
"Curiosity."
"Why is Lord Sesshoumaru curious about the relationships of some human?" she asked. He didn't answer. "We are seeing each other, yes. I can't let it get too serious though, with anyone, because I will have to leave eventually. It can never get serious." She reluctantly told him before pushing past him.
