'Got any sixes?' [Me]

Go fish [I]

'You're a liar! You just got two sixes from Myself!'[Me]

Oh, I did. [I]

''Go fish' my ass.' [Me]

It was a mistake. Give her a break.[Myself]

Shouldn't you be listening to the conversation? Beast is saying some pretty important stuff! [Conscience]

'Shut up Conscience!' [Me]

Got any threes? [Myself]

'Damn it! You know what, I don't want to play this anymore. Want to play B.S?' [Me]

B.S is my game! [I]

As though it's my last name! [Myself]

'No, it's not lame.' [Me]

Walking down the street with nothing to eat! [Conscience]

...

'I should go listen to the conversation.' [Me]

No, don't walk away! [I]

We want you to stay! [Myself]

'… So we can play?' [Me]

And maybe commit a crime! [Conscience]

Why won't you rhyme? [I]

You're making me as sour as a lime. [Myself]

'We're doing this to pass the time.' [Me]

Because you don't leave any rhymes for me. [Conscience]

Well that's your fault, sweetie. [I]

Wait, who's he? [Myself]

'I invited him to have a cup of tea.' [Me]

Guys hear my plea! [Conscience]

There we go, keepin' the flow. [I]

Lookin' like we're keepin it low. [Myself]

'Look at the sky, it's starting to snow.' [Me]

Look over there, it's Link killin' a poe, and taking its soe. [Conscience]

You meant to say soul, but you had to make it fit. [I]

Or else we'd go on and have a fit. [Myself]

'Stop, stop, stop. You can't rhyme a word with the same word.' [Me]

The contexts are different though. [Myself]

'No. This is my mind, and right now, we're going with the laws of English.' [Me]

Weren't we going to play B.S? What happened to that? [I]

Yeah, let's drop the subject. [Myself]

'I am sorry to interrupt, but the game is done.' [Beast]

'Hey! Beast! Did we win?' [Me]

Beast? [I]

Are you blushing? [Myself]

When I came to, I was staring straight into Sesshomaru's still feral eyes. He was holding me down with a tighter than necessary grip, and had a slightly confused look in his eyes.

"Did I scare her away?"

"Uh… yes?"

"She complains about how long this takes, but then prolongs it."

"I see, she's playing hard to get."

He stared at me for a second.

"Are you not scared?"

"Of course I am." I clarified.

"Such a cute little thing." He said as his fingers caressed my cheek. "If Sesshomaru doesn't hurry up and make you his, I will do it for him.

It was then that the red faded from Sesshomaru's eyes, and the normal, captivating gold came back. I felt my skin crawl and my goose bumps finally settle. Speaking to Sesshomaru's beast like that was unsettling; especially in such close proximity to each other. After getting off of the ground, I was ready to go home. The entire thing had been somewhat anticlimactic, and ended like it was nothing.

"I'm going to guess that I won." I said as I patted myself off.

I looked at Sesshomaru for a reply, but he wasn't looking at me. I went over to him and tried to get his attention, but he looked in the opposite direction every time.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"…Did you not understand our beasts' conversation?"

"…Well…"

"Are you truly that innocent?" he asked as he faced me.

"Um…" I started. "I... was supposed to listen?"

There was a moment of silence.

"When was it that you stopped listening?" Sesshomaru asked, rather calmly.

"They were talking about conflicting natures… I think."

"During the first or second conversation?"

"There was a second conversation?"

There was another moment of silence before Sesshomaru turned around and started walking away. I followed at a distance. Was the conversation unintentionally important? I'll admit that my attention span isn't up to par, but I pay attention majority of the time. This was the first in-depth conversation I've had with myself since I got back here. Plus, I'm not perfect, so my mistake is completely understandable… Conscience won't let this one go though, the bitch. It's her fault. If she didn't join the rhyming train, it would have gotten boring and I would have left much earlier… I should have just said I was innocent minded. I could have avoided this… Now that I think about it, what did Sesshomaru's beast say that made Beast blush like that? I didn't even think she could show any emotion other than irritation, anger, and satisfaction.

I stopped walking and stared at Sesshomaru's back. Our beasts' reflect ourselves in our rawest form, right?

"Sesshomaru, what was it that your beast said to mine?" I asked aloud as I caught up to him.

He looked at me before saying, "This Sesshomaru will not say."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

He stopped walking and faced me. In one motion, he had one arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer. He brought his mouth down to my ear, and began to whisper.

"This Sesshomaru will only act out what his beast has said. Seeing that this Sesshomaru's words caused your beast to flee, I believe you want to experience the action. Ask your own beast."

He let go of me and continued to walk as my body froze up. Did his beast slip out at the end of that?
