Sesshoumaru frowned again, eyes sliding to the horizon.

"I seek to understand. There is someone I am—" He struggled for the right word. "Someone that has piqued my curiosity."
"You mean someone you're interested in? Why are you following me if you like someone else?!"

"You thought you'd practice with me instead?"
Sesshoumaru braced himself for the miko's next tirade, jerking in surprise when she grabbed his hand, her face alight with excitement.
"Why didn't you say so!"
