"Sesshomaru... I don't think that's a good idea."

He cocked a brow.

"Scared, little miko?"

Her eyes narrowed.

"No. Not for me. I don't want to hurt you, you arrogant jerk."

Something akin to a snort came out of the lordly daiyoukai.

"You cannot. Now let it out. Release your reiki."

She just continued to stare at him through narrowed eyes. Refusing to bring him harm. He may not be a friend, but she respected him enough not to kill him.

The stare down continued for a moment, and when he sighed she thought she had won.

That is until a feral smile graced his features, causing her heart to stutter, as an outpouring of youki started smothering her reiki.
