It was instinct. That had to be it. He was alpha male and she was alpha female. His beast demanded submission, wanted nothing more than to prove that he was, pun intended, top dog. Her words amused him, her actions bothered him. Without though, he pressed closer to her and set his arms on either side of her, before bending over her. In her attempt to get away from him, she ended up with her back nearly flat against the car. "Who is the father of the pup, Miko?" he demanded.
She blanked, stared up at him and then looked away, another scowl forming. "You are," she muttered.
"And yet you will not allow me to care for my pup?"
Kagome frowned and though she'd thought on that topic long and hard before, had tossed it aside when she'd thought he wasn't going to have anything to do with her or the child inside her. Even though she knew, or rather hoped, he no longer thought like that, she still couldn't help but to remember the way he had spoken to her in that café. "I just don't want you to think I'm after your money," she admitted, refusing to look at him.
If he were a less dignified being, he would have rolled his eyes. As it was, he barely refrained from sighing. "This one already made clear a desire to know the child. This means knowing you, as well. Would you deny me this?"
Her eyes softened and slowly, she shook her head. His admission surprised her for though she knew he had wanted to know the child, not once had it occurred to her that he would want to know her. "I'm sorry," she said.
"Hn."
