Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself.
His eyes scanned the room of the demonesses who had come, and not one stirred a damn thing in him.
"Are you just going to stare that them?"
"Hen, that is what I am going to call you from now on, Hen."
"Don't you dare or Ill find a not so nice name for you, MY LORD."
He smirked "Come, follow me you will learn"
She rose an eyebrow but followed as he went to greet the women who all wanted to be the mother to his children. They all bowed, they all called him by title, they all smile and flaunted their breast and auras. They all looked at Kagome with contempt even though they didn't know her. They were all very sure of themselves.
"I grow tired of this, come"
He dragged her out, and they found a nice spot near a pond under the moon away from it all.
"None of them?"
"They are all the same"
"Their all pretty."
"All the same"
"I just figured you would pick the strongest one."
"You were far stronger than they Miko."
"Why thank you, but I'm not on the list."
His eyes settled on her as she sat in the grass. Her shoulders slumped a bit "What Miko?"
"I have been hanging out with you too long; I hate that you can read me."
"You did not answer me."
"I just figured Miroku and Sango would be here by now."
"Hn"
"What about Kagura?"
"What about her Miko?"
"Well, she turned out no so bad, and she's pretty."
"Surely you jest Miko."
"I mean, she seemed to have a thing for you."
"All females have a thing for me."
"I don't have a thing for you."
"And yet when I am close your heart flutters."
"It doesn't flutter," She said hard "Its just nerves you're bigger than me."
"Indeed," He said in a husky cocky tone.
"Oh my god, are you being perverted?"
"Perhaps"
"I don't think your well yet."
He sat down and laid his back against a tree "Perhaps not."
"Wait are you really still feeling bad?"
"Restless"
"Well I guess that's normal, you have so much going on in your mind that your just, restless."
She looked up at the stars,
"What are you thinking?" He asked,
"Me, how I love it here, how I'm glad that you are a little less uptight."
He rose an eyebrow, and she laid back in the grass.
"So you are thinking about me?"
Kagome touched her neck but smiled, to anyone else it would be nothing but to him it wasn't. She was thinking about him, his fangs in her neck.
"Do all demons mark their mates."
"Hn why."
"Do they all mark on the neck?"
"No"
She went silent for a moment, and he just watched her.
"What are you thinking of now Miko?"
"Just trying to think of all the places a man can mark a woman" It didn't come out right, and she knew it as soon as she said it. She blushed and looked at him "I didn't mean
it the way it sounded. I, I was just wondering if I mated, were my mark would be"
She looked away "Is the neck your thing?"
"Inu"
He knew instantly she was thinking about Inuyasha.
"Its just a silly thought, I don't need a guy to save me" She looked lost in thought. "Though you are never promised tomorrow" It would seem she was thinking about his reasoning for wanting to mate. She was at a prime age.
"I'm glad Inuyasha is happy." It was the truth.
"No man can save you from yourself, Miko," Sesshomaru stood up "And no man will want to till you save yourself from that which keeps you afraid."
She opens her mouth to say something, but he walks away.
"I don't love him anymore," She said to no one. But she was hung up on it, and she understood what he meant, she needed to get over it and move on and stop bringing it up. She felt stupid, of course, he didn't want to talk about his brother, he hated him. She would have to fix that one day because she wanted both men in her life.
