From Sublime to Absurd
Sesshomaru placed the last dish on the dining room table as Kagome wheeled in, shock evident on her face. "Did you cook all this?" gesturing to the food on the table.
"I've been caught," Sesshomaru replied. "Even though I don't cook often, I rather enjoy it."
"I would have never guessed that. What's the special occasion?"
"Appreciation for talking me into staying home. I rather enjoyed myself today."
"Really?" A smile spread across Kagome's face, causing Sesshomaru's heart to give a little flutter.
"Yes."
"I told you that you just might enjoy it, didn't I. So will you do it more often?"
"I'll think about it. Please, take a seat before the food gets cold."
"This looks really good," Kagome said as she picked up her fork.
"It should be, since I've learned from the best."
"I bet you have." Kagome paused, then changed the subject. "There's one thing I was wondering… um… why haven't you ever taken a mate? It's hard to believe you haven't fallen in love with someone else since Rin."
"I have not yet found a female who is worthy to be my mate."
Now this was the Sesshomaru Kagome knew.
"Worthy to be your mate? That's hard to believe. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"I have a female companion, if you must know. Even if I haven't found a worthy female, I do have desires that need to be met from time to time."
"Desires? To be met? So you're a player? You just keep a girl around for sex? Wow, that's real nice. Have you ever thought about the fact that she might think your relationship is serious?"
"You can think whatever you want of me, but I can assure you that all the females I've been with have been after me for two things: my wealth and power. They don't care for me, love me for me. They're all the same, all but one, and she's been gone a long time. If the females I'm with think they have a chance at being my mate, then that's their problem, not mine."
"Is that why you're on this destructive path? Because of Rin and what happened in the past?"
"Destructive path?!" Sesshomaru growled, starting to lose his temper.
"Yes, Inuyasha said…" Kagome stopped when Sesshomaru stood and strode out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
"To the office, to continue my destructive path."
