"When are you planning on telling her?"

"Telling her what?"

The miko rolled her eyes. "About how you feel! Does she know who you are?"

An unusual calmness settled around Sesshoumaru's heart. "She makes me want to live up to her expectations."

"That's a start."

"You are such a confusing creature."

She crossed her arms. "What have I done now?"

"I have admitted to following you without your permission, yet you do not seem angry about it anymore. And are now giving me advice."

A hand waved dismissively. "I try not to hold grudges. Besides, even if you did mean me harm, and got the drop on me, I've got others who would come to my rescue."
