Some superhero.
The next night Sesshomaru joined her, and the portal was dark so dark he had to bring in candles.
"Is it almost over?"
"Indeed, tomorrow night, the moon will rise, and our power with it."
"So," She spoke softly, and he looked down at her as she laid on the floor "Have picked one yet?"
He hated the way it sounded now. So detached.
He looked away as he answered "Hn,"
Kagome's eyes moved to his, and she shivered.
"So you have to mate at the highest peak right, tomorrow?"
"There are three nights; I do not have to do anything."
Kagome smiled, and he sat the last candle down.
"We will not leave this room till sundown tomorrow."
"Won't people wonder?"
"The halfbreed and Monk will take care of that."
Kagome sat up, "You told them!"
He glared at her "No, do not insult me so."
"What did you tell them?"
"That we are weak and hidden till then nothing more."
"Inuyasha didn't fuss?"
"You are not asking."
Kagome reached up and grabbed this old book there was and held it out. Sesshomaru took it and turned to the front and waited, words appeared.
'The second son, half of power becomes one with the holy, and in her womb, the firstborn rises, a new nation their future planned and so their story begins.'
Sesshomaru looks at her and shuts the book "He is not your hero Miko."
"I well aware of that thank you, I am my own hero." She sticks her nose up.
Sesshomaru wasn't totally buying that. Deep down, he knew what she wanted; he almost felt pity for her.
"I am not a hero to my chosen."
"Sure you are, or at least you will be."
"I do not save people Miko."
"You saved me; you will save her if need be."
That was true, and suddenly he felt the need to kill something.
"What's wrong?" She could feel the shift,
"Perhaps I have been too passive."
"You want a fight?"
"I feel the need,"
"Well," She stood and grabbed sword "Then I challenge you to a dual."
"Surely you jest."
Kagome shrugged "What else are we gonna do to past the time" Her word was suggestive, and he found her slight blush quite amusing.
"Be prepared Kagome, for you will not lave this room till you are covered in sweat."
Her brave plan backfired for as soon as the words left his lips the blush rose in more than one place."Oh,"
He smirked and pulled out his sword. This would be fun. They danced around the room, and he did make her sweat. She knew though that he was being easy on her. Even with his power lowered, he was strong, stronger than any of her suiter she noted.
"I'm gonna need a shower."
"Indeed I made a mess of you."
"Do you talk to your intended this way?"
"She is unaware of my choice."
"You haven't told her!"
"Care to do the honors?"
"Hell no," Nope, nope and nope again.
"That mouth Miko."
She turned from him, "Cant I sneak a shower?"
"Only if you wish to use my room."
She groans, but it was better than laying in sweat, "Fine."
He waved his hand, and the portal opened to his room "A cold bath awaits you" He teased,
"My hero" She teased back, but as the portal feel closed his teasing manner vanished.
He knew she didnt really seem him a hero and he wondered if she looked down on him for his manner of choosing a mate. He didnt care not really, except that he did. Kagome had become a regarded person in his life. His mother like her, Rin adored her, and his kingdom respected her. Then he wondered, would his future mate seek for him to protect her, would she regard him as a hero, would she be impressed with him.
Sesshomaru snorted, since when did he begin to doubt himself? When he found that not even he impressed Kagome.
But when was he every trying?
He smirked, he would prove her wrong and his manhood right.
He had to impress her even if it meant nothing at all to her, even though it mean nothing to him. She simply needed a reminder of what male could and was supposed to do for a female. He didnt have to work with much, her suitors had all been pathic, and that included his brother and the wolf.
