The ones that never do let go.
Kagome watched him across the room. He was so uptight.
"Why are you looking at him, Kagome?" Inuyasha huffed,
"He looks so uptight," She said,
"For a man who can have any woman here, he looks annoyed." Miroku stated,
"Smug bastard is what he is," Inuyasha huffed at the site.
"At least he knows what he wants," Kagome said under her breath,
"What was that!" Inuyasha yelled, but Kagome was making her way to the demon Lord.
"Is it me or she getting a little too comfortable near my brother."
Sango rolled her eyes "Give it a rest Inuyasha, it ain't like she is sleeping with him,"
Inuyasha sputtered at the thought. Miroku pulled Sango away before a fight broke out. He knew his wife would lay the half breed out. The demon women parted as the Miko made her way to the demon Lord. She sat next to him, and the women fled away from the pair.
"You looked like you could use some help," She said,
He said nothing.
"If you hate this, why are you doing it."
"It must be done."
"Then how about smiling?" She smiled to show him.
He looked at her with a death glare,
"Right, no smiling" She looked away and removed her own smile. "You could at least try, how do you know if you dont?"
"I know what I want, unlike my brother," He stated, looking over all the women at the gathering.
"Dont bring him into this, he knows what he wants, he is just trying to save my feelings."
"You give advice that you yourself do not take woman."
She looked at him, and he looked back at her "You should let go," He told her,
"I have."
He sniffed,
"Are you sniffing me?"
"For a lie."
"I know what I want," She said,
"That Miko is a lie." And he didn't have to sniff her to know it.
"Ok, but a least I admit it."
"Are you saying I do not know what I want?"
"I'm saying there is no way you could know, sleeping with women is not the same a caring."
He looked down at her hands in her lap "Demons and humans are different Miko, we reply on instincts,"
She sighed and stood, "You're just as hard-headed as him." She looked out "Dance with one of them, talk to one of them,"
She looked back at him "What do you want?"
Now that she was looking at him and asking him that, he was unsure.
"A powerful mate who can bear me many sons."
She blushed, "Ugh men! Is that all you guys think about, your women barefoot and pregnant?"
He rose an eyebrow,
"Anyone can do that Sesshomaru, how about something no so shallow?"
But he wasn't listening. He was seeing her swollen with child in his minds eyes. Oddly he found that she would indeed be even more attractive that way. It was for the reason he ignored her insult about him being shallow.
"Hello?" She waved a hand in front of his face, and he grabbed it, "A female to challenge me behind close doors yet knows her place when time."
She became uneasy like he was telling her, but perhaps not in the same context. But his eyes were fire, and they were burning through her. Her eyes went to her wrist; his hand was warm around it. His hands were much larger than her small wrist.
"I could snap the bone," He said, and her eyes met his "It would be so easy to hurt you,"
Everyone in the room was forgotten.
"You, you want to?" She asked,
He looked down at his hand and brushed his thumb over her soft skin, and she felt a flop down in her tummy "Sesshoamru?"
His eyes snapped back to hers, and then he let go and looked away. His aura flared with displeasure, and she backed away.
