A/N: I'm Baaaaaaaack! *sing song voice* I bet you thought I gave up….HA! This chapter in my opinion...just had to be handled delicately...You'll get what I mean in a sec...hehe. But anyways on Fanfiction a guest reviewer said I shouldn't tag people that aren't in the story. (In this case I tagged Inuyasha) Here was my face:
.-. ….. T-T
I have plans for Inuyasha, thank you very much! *pouts* Just because I haven't introduced him yet doesn't mean he isn't coming! Jeez...so impatient...Besides I setup this chapter so that MY ACTUAL PLOT will come into play. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
So be patient please. c:

Pairing: Elsa x Sesshomaru
Chapter 11: The Eyes of a Predator
Kristoff's POV:
I felt sick. Undeniably sick. Elsa….was going to marry….I stood from my chair abruptly. The speed from standing so forcefully knocked the chair down. I could feel many sets of eyes staring at me. That "man" Sesshomaru….He wasn't human. These thoughts pierced me like a knife, like the sharp edge of the blade was twisting inside my gut.
Elsa, my mind mourned….Elsa doesn't know! I need to tell her! Somehow….someway, when she's alone!
I started to rush out of the room. I could feel the eyes of the Lord on me, I felt like a target. By some unknown predator, it would get me...I needed to get out. Away from those eyes. Now.
Bloody eyes. The bloody eyes of something demonic.
They flashed in my mind over and over again. They were frightening, I have never seen anything like it. And they were staring….at Elsa. What did it want with her? Marriage?! That idea sounded ridiculous now!
"Kristoff!" My fiance yelled. By now I was almost out of the room. My mind was frantic. Anna's voice sounded distorted.
"Kristoff what's wrong!?"
If only she knew…

Elsa's POV:
"Excuse me Elsa, Lord Sesshomaru….I will be right back. " Anna said hurriedly. She quickly left the room, a shadow of worry crossing her features.
"I wonder what that was all about…" I questioned myself.
"Hn…" Startled, I had forgotten how close we were. My knees were brushing against his and his long black hair tickled my shoulders.
Compose yourself! Compose yourself! I shouted in my head, Just try to discreetly inch away….yes….discreetly.
I tried to scoot my chair further away.
SQUEEEEEK!
I cringed.
Curse this blasted chair. Before I could even fathom my further embarrassment, Erin piped in.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Erin said from across from us.
Oh...ya….I forgot she was even here, such a quiet child…
Sesshomaru inclined his head in acknowledgment. Erin seeing her signal wiggled in her chair in excitement.
"May I go play with Olaf?" She asked pleadingly.
Sesshomaru examined Erin, looking at her empty plate first. He seemed satisfied.
"Hn."
Erin beamed.
"Arigato gozaimasu!" Erin shouted cheerfully.
Erin left the room, unintentionally slamming the door behind her. Wincing, I peeked at Sesshomaru.
We were all alone now…
My face burned. "Welll...um...I guess I must get going too…" I tried to get away. I really did. Standing up from my chair, my back faced him.
"Joou." Was all he said. I froze. It was that tone of voice again.
It was kind of sexy...I caught my thoughts. My cheeks most likely, once again glowing a red hue...
To my surprise he grasped my wrist gently. In return my skin started to heat up where he touched. I could feel my heart speed up. W-what was he up to? And...when did he stand up?!
"You have yet to finish your food...Come, sit with me." He whispered in my ear. I could feel my lips dry. H-how does he do this to me….Make me want to melt into his arms?
He started to pull me towards himself, my back still facing him. I took one peep at his face, and promptly felt my knees weaken. My heart couldn't take this. His brown eyes looked even darker, a glint of….something unknown settling in his gaze. His lips upturned into a smirk…My breath got caught in my throat. That smirk...it was…It made me feel as if….I was being hunted. I didn't know what it was. But it was definitely wicked, and shouldn't be trifled with. His arm snaked around my waist. His hand which was once grasping my wrist, was now splayed out on my hips, connected to that snaking arm. He pulled me further inwards, his hold on my waist making it impossible to move away. Caging me against him. I could feel the black soft pelt, against my back. W-why does that feel so familiar? I gulped, deciding to look at the wall.
I tried to protest, but my voice came out small.
"I'm not hungry." I said softly, embarrassed by this new attention. These feelings rising up in me, they were so foreign. Was it alright for me to feel this way? The fact that Sesshomaru was doing this to me made me rethink why he was here. He wanted to marry me. He wasn't forced to. Why else would he be...doing...this.
I could feel him chuckle lightly, "Are you sure you aren't hungry?" He said softly, with a suggestive tone.
"Why…..why are you doing this?" I whispered desperately. Ignoring his other question.
"I intend to marry you, make you mine." His voice was getting deeper.
"But why me! I barely know you!"
He paused, "That can be remedied."
I started to struggle in his hold. "I-I don't know about this…it's all so sudden."I said nervously.
"This one will wait an eternity if he has too." Wait….what!?
"This is insane." I whispered once more.
"Hn…" He released me. Shocked, I quickly backed up a few paces. My hand was resting against my fluttering heart.
"I apologize Joou, this Sesshomaru does not know what came over him."
I was about to speak, but an excited squeal rang around the castle. It interrupted me, for it sounded so familiar.
What in the world…?! Is that Anna?
Thunderous footsteps were heard gallivanting their way across the castle. It seemed this raging bull was headed in my direction.
Oh no.
"ELSA!" I heard Anna screech nearby.
My hands twisted nervously, but something felt off. Looking down, my face went pale in shock. My fingerless gloves! Where in the world did they go?! The engagement ring was glimmering proudly on my uncovered fingers.
Besides that mystery another was in the making. A stench permeated the area, it's tangy smell attacking my nose. It smelt of some type of acidic poison. Where was that coming from?!
"Is something the matter Joou?" Sesshomaru asked with a hint of mockery. Him. My eyes blazed in anger, of course. How didn't I see it?
"Where are my gloves Sesshomaru?" I asked in a scathing tone.
His eyebrows raised in amusement.
"I found them unnecessary. So I disposed of them." He replied boredly.
"Dispose?"
"Hn."
Ohhh that was becoming my least favorite sound.
"Hn. Hn. Hn. Is all you seem to say. What does it even mean!?" My hands clenched into fists. My foot on the verge of stomping.
"..."
We stared into each other's eyes. I really wanted to shoot him with an icicle. Not only for stealing my gloves, but for invading my personal space for said gloves.
"You really shouldn't mess with me Sesshomaru." I threatened coldly.
His brown eyes flashed, his face became the perfect emotionless mask.
"It would benefit you to cease your endless teasing." His words cut across the tension that was building, it left me confused. How in the world have I been teasing him? Shouldn't it be the other way around!?
"Teasing?"
"ELSA!" I flinched in surprise. Quickly hiding my exposed hands behind my back.
Anna burst through the dining room doors. I had completely forgot about her…
"How could you Elsa!" Anna whined theatrically as she closed the distance between us.
"Um...what?"
"Oh don't be like that dear sister! Show me!" Anna was bouncing in her excitement, almost bumping against my forehead.
Anna grabbed my arms, I started to panic.
"S-show you what?"
"Oh my word." Anna rolled her eyes playfully, " The RING Elsa, the ring!"
My face lost further color. H-how did she?
She dragged my arms from behind my back and held up my hand to her glowing face. Examining it from every possible angle. Her eyes were sparkling in her excitement.
"Anna h-how did you-?" Anna interrupted saying-
"Kristoff told me! I can't believe it! A double wedding!" She sighed dreamily.
I yanked my hands from her grasp. "What!" I gasped out.
"I know! I can't wait! We can plan our weddings together!" Anna glanced at Sesshomaru behind me. "Oh by the way Lord Sesshomaru, congratulations! This will make Erin very happy!" Anna was speaking so fast I could barely keep up. All I could figure was that she finally knew about my arranged marriage...And was….happy about it?
"Hn." Sesshomaru said indifferently.
"Anna…"
Anna wouldn't stop talking. I was getting more panicked which made me angry.
"It will be a beautiful ceremony! I can imagine the dress now! EEEEEK! This is so exciting!"
And just as quickly and abruptly she showed up, she disappeared to announce the "happy" news around the castle. I was dumbstruck. I could feel tears starting to form, I didn't want to believe this...It was going to happen this marriage...I quickly hid my face from Sesshomaru. I tried wiping my eyes as fast as I could. But it was no use. Doesn't anybody understand that I don't want this? It's like I could hear the final nail being hammered in my coffin...
'Do you really think that?' I shook my head. I can't marry someone I just met...Hans was a perfect example. But this...was arranged, and there was no way around it.
"Elsa…" Sesshomaru questioned.
"Shut up." I said venomously.
"Joou-"
" I SAID SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed, sweeping my arm out to attack him in my blinded anger.
My anger was short lived and quickly turned into horror as everything began to slow down. What have I done?!

Third Person POV:
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as he watched his mate's sharp ice crystal gain on him. He knew he could dodge it, but Elsa didn't.
'The crystal was really quite beautiful.' Sesshomaru observed. Though his guise made him look mortal, he still had some amount of youkai coursing through him that wasn't "sleeping" at the moment. His eyes still took in everything with an inhuman clarity, he still had his speed. His strength at the moment minimal. But only after sunset did he release his true appearance and his youkai within fully awaken.
Currently, he admired this little display of the ice magic his little mate possessed. But he didn't like the fact that her attack was "unintentionally" aimed at him.
He could feel his mate's distress through the bond, and he wondered briefly if she ever felt it.
He could hear some of her thoughts. Though not all. When he first arrived he picked up on her wanting to revoke the engagement. He couldn't help but think severly, "We shall see."
When walking through the castle doors he immediately sensed his mates inner turmoil. He knew then that the bond was getting stronger. It would be harder to resist claiming her. He tried keeping his thoughts to a minimum after that incident. But it was very hard. The little vixen was so tempting.
The little pleasure filled moan at lunch had him unraveling, he couldn't help but bring her closer. His steel like control was wavering...No other creature had done this..Make him feel so much.
These thoughts flitted in his head in contemplation. Still watching the crystal, how many seconds has it been? Hn...This Sesshomaru should probably move now.
Sesshomaru stepped to the right just as the crystal flew past him and imbedded itself in the wall.
'She can be lethal…' Sesshomaru thought proudly. His inner demon was very pleased, for it craved power.
Elsa didn't cry out, it all happened so fast. But she couldn't believe that she missed, she was relieved though.
Elsa looked at her hands in horror. She had lost control of her emotions so suddenly….She felt like a child again, when her icicle pierced Anna's head.
"I-I'm sorry." Elsa said. Her voice sounded so stricken, she never meant to use her powers to hurt someone.
Elsa immediately left the room, old emotions swirling inside her arose again. She just needed to be alone…
Presently, Sesshomaru did not like this new development. He would have to change his approach, be more subtle. But on the other hand, he had to deal with that blonde idiot.
Sesshomaru could feel Elsa's desire to be alone, so he would leave her be. At least for now. Instead...he would have a little talk with Kristoff. Though Sesshomaru wanted to announce the wedding, he wanted to do it...On his own terms. This has set him back, he did not have time for this. He did not appreciate it.
A wicked smile curved the lips of the lonely Lord of the West.
